[Comprehensive Entertainment] Reincarnation reality show

Led by Adam, the group quickly came to a newly opened restaurant nearby.

This Spanish restaurant named Hermosa is located at the southern end of Rodeo Drive, close to Beverly Hills. The first opened in Manhattan, New York, the second in Las Vegas, and now, the third, in Los Angeles.

The chef of the first restaurant is Leah herself, and the chef of the second restaurant is her good friend and friend Denisa who participated with her and cherished each other in the competition.In fact, before opening the second restaurant, Denisa had been Leah's exclusive sous chef. It wasn't until she planned to open a branch that Denisa showed her ability to be a chef on her own.

Denisa originally worked in a Spanish restaurant, and under her influence, Leah named the restaurant Hermosa.In Spanish, Hermosa is a feminine word that describes beauty, and its masculine word is Hermoso. Considering that both of them are female chefs, they finally chose Hermosa, which sounds more charming.Moreover, unlike everyday adjectives such as Bonita and Linda, Hermosa vaguely represents a poetic beauty.

This is also the business philosophy of the two for the restaurant, and it is also the path chosen by the two as chefs. To present the beauty of food to all visitors, whether it is visual or taste, it must be unforgettable. original intention.

"Welcome to Hermosa."

When a group of people walked into the restaurant, the head waiter at the door was waiting there with a smile.

As a newly opened restaurant, Hermosa does not yet have a Michelin star, and the star of the previous restaurant will not continue to this restaurant, which is also the rigor of Michelin.However, with the fame of the previous restaurant, or the chef's fame, there are not many guests in this restaurant.In particular, the chef was born in a reality show, which added a lot of attention and popularity to Hermosa.Therefore, it is always necessary to make a reservation in advance, unless the guest is a celebrity, then of course the restaurant will open the door, just like Adam, just like the hottest reality TV contestants who are here at this time.

"Please sit down." Under the guidance of the foreman, the six sat down at the table.

The contestants looked at the restaurant curiously.

For Grace, everything about American restaurants feels new to her.

For Nadia, this is the first time she has dined in such a high-end place. Everything here, from the minimalist and beautiful interior decoration, to the courteous male and female waiters, to the bright lights at the table The human plate and the complete and exquisite knives and forks made her feel so incredible-she would come to such a high-end place to eat?God, this is not a dream!The only thing that made her a little worried was that those knives and forks were used much more than she usually used. She was not sure if she could use them all correctly. If she used them wrong, she would be very embarrassed. Thinking of this, Nadi Ya became more and more cautious, not daring to strike lightly.

In contrast, Yi Li and Bertha felt much more relaxed.Bertha is simply accustomed to it. She is used to those high-end restaurants, and many restaurants have dress codes. She even went to Hermosa in Manhattan, met the chef Leah there, and had a brief chat with her after the meal. That really was a glamorous chef—well, she knew that was a bit of a misnomer for a restaurant chef, but Bertha really thought so from the bottom of her heart.To be honest, with the other party's superb cooking skills and distinctive personality charm, Bertha is not surprised that Hermosa was named the best restaurant of the year by various magazines in the year it was founded.

As for Yili, she is very happy with the achievements of "Leah". The better the other party does and the greater the influence, the more beneficial it is for "their" plan.After all, it was her former self, and Yili believed that when that time came, Leah, Lisa, Haili, all her, and all the past left by others would not stand idly by.

"Here is the menu." The gentle and elegant foreman distributed the beautifully bound menu to everyone one by one.

Since Adam is a celebrity, the contestants are also the most popular reality show stars nowadays, so the foreman serves them personally. If possible, it would be even better to have an autographed group photo after the meal—every celebrity’s visit, All affirmation of the restaurant.

"Thank you." Adam took the menu first, and asked while flipping through it, "What's the chef's recommendation for today?"

"Golden Soup Wild Mushroom Bacon Roll." The foreman replied with a smile, "This dish incorporates mysterious oriental classics, and its reputation is quite good, especially the soup part, all the guests are full of praise, Adam, do you want to try it? "

"Of course, since you said so." Adam nodded happily, and then said curiously, "I thought it was Leah's preference to add oriental elements, and Denisa seemed to be influenced by her. I went to Las Vegas Hermosa has eaten it, and Denisa has also developed similar dishes, this time, has your new chef decided to incorporate oriental elements into his dishes?"

"In fact, in order to open up the situation in Los Angeles, our current head chef is Denisa. The original head chef went to Las Vegas to preside over the overall situation. This happened two days ago." The foreman replied with a smile road.

"Wow, that's great. I like the dishes Denisa created. Every dish makes me feel like a work of art!" Adam said happily, "By the way, can I call her out after the meal? I think , my team members should really want to see her."

"Of course, no problem." The head waiter readily agreed. After all, as a former reality show star, many people want to see the chef in person, not to mention, after a pleasant meal, meeting the chef Meeting and chatting is also a common thing in various restaurants.

The contestants couldn't help but exchanged an excited look.

Well, Nadia is the main one who is excited. Black mothers are loyal audiences of Hell’s Kitchen. Of course, master chefs and little chefs are also the favorites of this mother.In contrast, Grace from Colombia is relatively calm about American reality TV stars, but she is still very interested in meeting reality show contestants who are the same as herself, even if it is not the same show, but seeing She was inspired by the stories of former reality TV stars gaining success in reality after the show ended.

Compared with these teammates who were purely curious and excited, after hearing Adam's words, Yili was slightly taken aback, and her heart was filled with deep nostalgia.Compared with SuperVoice, which is completely personal, Hell's Kitchen puts more emphasis on the leadership skills of the players. In that competition, Denisa was her most solid and reliable friend. If we say that there is only one person in that competition that Yili deserves to devote her whole heart to. Believe me, it must be Denisa.At this moment, hearing the follow-up news from her friend, and finding that the other party is working and living so fulfillingly and contentedly, Yili is sincerely happy for her friend.

"So, girls—oh, and David, well, you're on the way," Adam's customary joke of a friend.

"It doesn't matter, just by the way, as long as you pay the bill." David spread his hands indifferently.Being able to have a nice meal at a fine dining restaurant that costs hundreds of dollars per person, and just put up with some of Adam's talk (or is it better? Well, he shouldn't describe his old buddy that way, but he does feel sometimes There is a subtle similarity between Adam and Deadpool, the kind of cheap and completely annoying style, which is really unforgettable), David thinks it’s no big deal at all, “Let’s be clear, I’m only responsible for My hundred dollars." Otherwise, he couldn't afford this extravagant meal.

"Don't worry, I pay the bill." Adam waved his hand, not minding the little money, and continued what he said to the players before, "Hermosa generally has three choices, five courses, seven courses and nine courses. Five dishes are enough, and the portions here are rare and generous.” The girls laughed, and Adam also laughed, after all, many high-end restaurants use small portions as a synonym for exquisiteness. From this point of view, Hermosa is really Quite clear, "Of course, if you want to try more, then nine dishes are fine. To be honest, I think you should try more. Well, anyway, just do it according to your heart, don't worry about me Eat poor." Adam Hou Levine said briskly.

"That's right, that's it." The foreman also echoed with a smile, "We usually recommend five dishes, but if the guests come from afar, it is unlikely that they will come to Los Angeles again in the future, so you might as well add more Try it, I promise, you will never be disappointed, the only thing worth worrying about is the portion that Adam mentioned.”

"Five dishes are enough." Under Adam's gesture, Yili was the first to say.

"Me too." "Me too." Bertha and Grace followed suit. Nadia wanted to try more, but her teammates said so, and she was too embarrassed to insist on being different, so she nodded accordingly. But secretly decided in her heart that she should try these dishes well, so that she can share them with her children after returning home.

"Then, let me order first. I want a bacon roll with wild mushrooms in the golden soup you mentioned, a poached egg in Bearn, pan-fried venison steak with butter, and asparagus salad." Adam flipped through the menu and said, "Well, For dessert, I'd like a lemon tart."

"Okay." The foreman quickly recorded it.

"Then I want Hungarian cheese, French baked snails, Bessie filet steak, mushroom salad..."

"I'd like a black truffle meringue soup, French-style pan-fried cod, curry stewed apple lamb..."

"I want……"

Everyone ordered their meals one by one, and then began to enjoy the pre-dinner buns on the table.

Many restaurants will serve pre-meal bread, but some use ready-made bread and some are specially baked. To give guests a more thoughtful and meticulous feeling, this is also the first impression the restaurant leaves on the taste buds of guests.

"I like this croissant." Bertha took a sip, her eyes lit up immediately, "I've always thought that Hermosa's pre-dinner bread can be used as a signature, and restaurants outside can't make this kind of taste."

"Maybe you can ask the chef directly later." Adam suggested.

"I asked Leah, and she told me, but what I made was almost the same." Bertha sighed, and she also knew that even if it was the same recipe, the finished product made by an ordinary chef and a Michelin-level chef would definitely be the same. There is a difference, there is nothing to complain about, but it is always a pity-it would be great if I could eat such great bread every day.

"It's really a pity." Adam nodded in understanding, and the other contestants also showed approval.

"By the way, Adam, why did you think of inviting us to dinner?" Soon, Yi Li asked actively after being signaled by others.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just thought of it, and I won a bet." Adam smiled happily.

"What bet?" Bertha asked curiously.

"Oh, about the last round." Adam thought for a while, and said frankly, "After the game, I made a bet with our pianist, and he thought that Sally's performance in the last round would make her a The first three, I say more than that, Sally must be the first, and finally, as you can see, I won. Although it is not a big bet, but I think, thanks to our hero, that is, dear Sally, still It's necessary, isn't it?" Adam added, "Don't be offended, Sally, about me betting on your results without your permission. But I really think your performance last round You performed very, very well, which made me full of confidence in you, so I wanted to prove it to David."

"Of course." Yili smiled, "I'm also very glad that you, Adam, have so much confidence in me."

"I have always had confidence in you." Adam said affirmatively.

Listening to Adam's words, the others couldn't help but look at each other, feeling obscured in their hearts.

Bertha agrees with Adam's words from the bottom of her heart. She sincerely believes that if her friend's outstanding performance is not the first, it would be unreasonable, so Bertha is happy to see Adam's attention to his friend.

Grace and Nadia's mood is a bit complicated. On the one hand, they are also happy for Sally's achievements, which is absolutely from the bottom of their hearts, but on the other hand, they also have a little loss in their hearts. Sally She performed too strongly in this competition, and every instructor is optimistic about her. Up to now, even the contestants with different positions believe that Sally will definitely enter the finals. There is no doubt about it, but their future lies in It's hard to say.

What's more, the more Adam likes Sally, the more he doesn't like them, right?Of course, Adam did not show contempt for the rest of them at all. On the contrary, everyone could feel how much Adam tried his best when guiding himself, but he could get so much affirmation from Adam—too much to make them jealous— Only Sally.

Thinking of this, the two of them felt a slight bitterness in their hearts, and even the delicious food afterwards seemed not so attractive.

That's what I said, but when the dishes were served one after another, everyone was immersed in the food, and there was no time for others. Even the contestants who were in complicated moods before could not be distracted to appreciate their ever-changing moods .

"I like this soup." Bertha was the first to comment on her dish.

"The mushroom salad here is also very refreshing, and it has a natural freshness, I love this." Grace also said.

"This cod is also fried very well. I can taste the freshness and sweetness of the seafood. It's really tender!" Nadia also exclaimed.

Even though, as the head waiter said, each dish here is not small-this is compared with other high-end restaurants, if compared with family restaurants, it is still not as good-but the contestants still put their meals The dishes on the plate were wiped out, no one missed the slightest bit of these delicacies for the sake of so-called restraint, to be honest, that would be wasteful, okay?

There was once a delicious lunch in front of me, but I didn't cherish it. The most painful thing in the world is this. If God gives me another chance, I will eat every drop of soup with bread !Well, there is no need to give another chance from God, this is what the players do now...

"Do you want to meet the chef?" Adam also enjoyed a satisfying meal and asked with great interest, "You can tell her your feelings, and if you have any questions, you can also ask her directly."

"Is it possible?" Nadia's eyes lit up, and it was like fulfilling one of her dreams.

"Of course, didn't the foreman say it's okay?" Adam said with a smile, "Then, let's meet the chef. I think you must have a lot to say to her."

Under the expectant eyes of the players, the foreman quickly invited Denisa out.

"Oh, my God!" Nadia covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Hello." Denisa smiled, "Are you satisfied with today's meal?"

"I couldn't be more satisfied." Adam praised without hesitation.

"Yes, this is the best meal I've ever had," echoed the others.

"Glad to hear that," Denisa replied with a smile. "So, is there anything I can do for you?"

"May I know how this French-style pan-fried cod maintains such a fresh, smooth and tender taste? I really like this fish, it is extremely sweet and full of strong French flavor." Nadia couldn't help it He kept asking, "Of course, I know, this may involve secret recipes or something, it doesn't matter if I don't talk about it, I'm just curious,"

"It's okay." Denisa smiled generously, and Nadia's comment made her very happy, "The most important thing is the heat. If the time is too long, the meat will become old, and if the time is too short, it will be uncooked. My suggestion is, Fry on medium heat for 1 minute, then turn to low heat and fry for 2 minutes, both positive and negative. Of course, in order to highlight the flavor of this dish, I also used a little Martell’s cognac, I think, this is its fragrance The source, after the alcohol in the brandy evaporates, what is left is a sweet fruity aroma, you should be able to taste the faint fragrance of grapes?"

"Yes." Nadia said in surprise, she did not expect Denisa to be so selfless, "Thank you, Denisa, thank you for sharing, and, thank you for letting me taste such a good fried fish, I I will definitely look back on it from time to time in the future.”

"Maybe you can try to make it." Denisa joked, "In fact, Leah and I are preparing to publish our first cookbook, which includes many Hermosa dishes, some of which are not complicated. , it can also be done at home, that way, you can enjoy this dish at home.”

As for some signature dishes, of course the cooking process will not be announced without reservation.In reality, many master chefs do this, publishing concise and practical recipes, keeping their own special dishes, and only willing to talk about their secret recipes when they are truly famous.However, having said that, for those dishes that are too complicated, even if the recipes are announced, not everyone is willing to try to make them. For the recipes that are popular with the public, simplicity is the best.

"Really? I will definitely buy it!" Nadia said excitedly without hesitation.

If it was said that she was still a little tight before, and she was a little hesitant about those famous recipes that often cost three digits, but now, after becoming a SuperVoice contestant, her financial situation has improved.

In fact, just in her hometown, many people have already contacted her family, hoping that she will come forward to participate in some business activities, such as the anniversary of the opening of the business, and the price is very generous, and there are other job opportunities. She never dared to imagine.It can be said that before the end of this episode, her life has completely changed.

"Thank you." Denisa smiled at her.

"By the way, can I ask you to sign at that time?" Nadia was a little embarrassed, and asked sincerely, "Maybe plus Leah, I really like you, no matter your performance in the game , or these delicious dishes you cooked, especially your experience, inspired me deeply." Let her also have the courage to participate in a highly competitive competition.

"Of course." Denisa readily agreed.

After that, Denisa chatted with other people, and the six expressed their feelings after the meal.

"By the way, I also watched this issue of SuperVoice." Denisa looked at Yili actively while speaking, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Sally, you performed so well, my favorite is your "When You Believe" ", I can feel the strength in your heart, that uncompromising determination. Seriously, your talent in music is like Leah's talent in cooking, you are both true geniuses, let everyone Amazing genius, let's work hard." For Denisa, who is not very flamboyant, such blunt words are really rare, and she is usually reserved and tactful.

"Thank you." Yili didn't expect to hear Denisa's words. It was precisely because she knew her friend's character that she knew how precious her friend's words were—in fact, she was able to stand here and come here. Going to the former friend and talking to him with another identity is like a miracle that spans time and space, making Yili's heart very soft. This is her friend, the best and most trusted friend, even if she can't Recognizing each other, the other party still gave the best wishes, "Thank you, Denisa, this is very important to me, thank you." Thank you for giving me the courage to do the next thing.

"Hmm." Denisa smiled lightly. She didn't know what Yili was thinking. She only knew that she was expressing support to the player she liked. The other party's reaction should be a normal thank you to the supporters.Having said that, Denisa faintly felt more than that in her heart. Through the firm and bright eyes of the other party, she could feel the strange familiarity, and suddenly saw another more familiar figure, "Did we meet somewhere?" ?” she couldn't help asking.

"Maybe." Yi Li smiled, her friend's words made her feel a little joy, but she couldn't really admit it, it would bring the danger of erasing her friend, "By the way, I want to write A letter, can I ask you to bring it to Leah? I know, this is a bit abrupt, but..." Yi Li was a little hesitant, she couldn't understand the words, but she had to do it.In fact, even if not now, after the game, she must complete this matter.However, Adam's sudden treat this time gave her a very good opportunity to get in touch with her old friends, or in other words, it couldn't be better, especially the friendly attitude shown by Denisa, which gave Yili incomparable confidence.Even Yili, who doesn't believe in gods, can't help but be grateful for her destiny at this moment.

"Okay." Denisa agreed out of Yili's expectation, and she didn't even ask why—for some reason, Denisa felt that she couldn't refuse the other party, just like she could never refuse Leah, "Here There is a pen and paper, do you want to write now? Or have you prepared it in advance? I can pass it to Leah for you." She suggested thoughtfully.

"Let's write it now, thank you." Yili didn't know the reason why Denisa readily agreed, but she was still relieved by the other party's immediate response, so that she didn't have to try to persuade Denisa, after all, the whole thing The matter is indeed presumptuous and bizarre, and it is normal for Denisa to refuse.

Yili talked to the others, but instead of asking Denisa to fetch the pen and paper, she followed Denisa out.

The two of them went to Denisa's personal lounge - being a chef is both mental and physical work, and a proper rest is absolutely necessary - after which Denisa thoughtfully avoided, and Yili began to write.

This is a letter that cannot be seen by others, or even if it is seen, it will only feel inexplicable.

Starting with DearLia, Yili is thinking about writing. She can't tell the truth of the whole world, but she can vaguely remind that this is what she has to do, contact her "predecessors", gain their trust, and never become theirs. A valuable part of the plan.More precisely, an integral part.

In the letter, she wrote about her intimacy with the other party, that kind of incredible and unreasonable affection. Yi Li acted like an ordinary supporter. I hope this will not disgust Lia and make the other party stick to it. It's not just to put it down after a second glance. Only in this way can their attempts be meaningful.

After that, Yili mentioned some things that only she knew, and only Leah was aware of, such as, she doesn't like milk very much, she likes dogs very much, she wants to raise a Dalmatian named Kathy, and she wants to raise a dog. A bay red horse named Porto, she seemed to be talking about her wish, in fact, it was not only a personal wish, but also Yili's real past, and she hoped that the other party had some vague thoughts about it.

As long as the world is not reset, completely formatted, even if the system "resets" the "character", the past data should remain to some extent - just like deleting a file on the computer, even if it is put in the recycle bin, even if the system "resets" the "character" Empty the recycle bin, there is the possibility of recovery, of course, it is only possible.However, having said that, whether these "data" can be retrieved artificially is one of their conjectures, the most bizarre conjecture based on the way this world works.But what they want to do is a huge adventure like a gamble, which is something that must be done.

After that, Yili also mentioned her strange familiarity with the other two, namely Lisa, a designer who has become famous in recent years and created her own top luxury brand with her husband, and Lisa, who has been favored by them and has become a famous fashion designer in the fashion circle. Haili, the top model, every time she sees those two people, she has a subtle feeling of looking in the mirror, they are obviously very different from each other.She especially seemed to mention it unintentionally, does Leah also feel this way?When facing a specific person, do you have the illusion that you are yourself?

In the end, Yili hoped that if she could, she could have a face-to-face talk with the other party, and hoped that the other party would take the time to meet her.

It took Yili more than ten minutes to write a letter that was neither too long nor too short.

During this period, the system, which had been silent for a long time because she had already turned off the prompts, kept popping up warning messages. For this reason, Yili had to repeatedly delete, avoid those sensitive words, and modify those sentences containing sensitive information. Only then did she complete this letter. Significant letter.Not surprisingly, this letter will become an opportunity, an opportunity for the person to contact the derivative. Only in this way can the latter retrieve their past memories and become an important force in the "return plan".

"This is the letter." After checking it carefully again, Yili handed the letter to Denisa who was waiting outside the door, "Sorry for the long wait, Denisa. However, this letter is very important to me." It's important, please give it to Leah, please."

"Okay." Denisa was puzzled by the solemnity on the other party's face, but it was this solemnity that made Denisa accept it seriously, "I will supervise Leah to read this letter carefully. If you are so important." She said half jokingly and half seriously.

"It would be great if that's the case." Yili didn't take it as a joke, but pleaded casually.

"Hmm." Denisa was taken aback, then nodded cautiously.

Afterwards, Yili returned to the table, apologized to the others who had been waiting for a long time, and then left with her friends.

"Sally happy?" Bertha couldn't help asking when she saw her friend's relieved expression.

"Is that obvious?" Yi Li didn't answer directly.

"A little bit." Bertha curved her lips and replied playfully.

"Okay." Yili also smiled back, "There is one thing that I have always wanted to do but couldn't do, and now I finally do it." With Denisa's promise, she believes that even in the light of Denisa's In terms of face, Leah will definitely read the letter carefully, because she herself values ​​Denisa so much, and Leah who was born by her will definitely do the same.

"That's good." Bertha was sincerely happy for her friend, but did not continue to ask.

At the side, the other people who were waiting to hear with pricked ears couldn't help feeling sorry.

Only Bertha, who was closest to Sally, could ask this kind of private question, and it would be overstepping if the others asked. Besides, if they asked, there was no guarantee that Sally would answer them the same way she answered Bertha.Unfortunately, I still don't know what it is. Bertha is naive and straightforward, but she is not ungrateful, and she didn't satisfy their curiosity after all.

The others could only secretly guess in their hearts, could it be that Sally was Leah's die-hard fan, and that's why she asked Denisa to send her a letter privately?The players couldn't help thinking about it.
