Superhero Damage Control [Comprehensive]

Chapter 13 Dinner with Daredevil

Thanks to Matthew, to be honest, whether it is Lu Qi or Lucy, it is the first time for her to step into a real Michelin restaurant. There is no Michelin system in China, so basically the Michelin signs are actually so-called Michelin Grand. Restaurant run by the chef.But in fact, it is not known whether the restaurant is opened by a real Michelin chef, or just a Michelin chef's assistant, or maybe even a dishwasher.

And when Lucy walked into this restaurant, she was shocked.The Michelin restaurants she imagined are all low-key and luxurious. Although the pillars are not painted gold, at least they have solid wood floors with a certain age, and heavy but high-end tables and chairs.

But this restaurant, looking around, feels like entering a space capsule. The waiters are wearing white suits all over the body, the men are also painted with silver-gray eye shadow, and the women are stepping on high heels that seem to be 3D printing. With a layer of base makeup, like a porcelain doll, the eyelashes are long and dense.

A waitress walked towards them holding a tray. When she passed them, she showed a smile that was just right, not overly obsequious and not arrogant. It seemed that she had been specially trained, and she had a sense of seductive charm. The smell of perfume on her body was not strong. But it is full of layers, and it gets closer and further away with her steps.

"So, what's it like here?" Matthew took off his scarf after sitting down, folded it aside, and asked her with great interest.

Lucy is not good at describing, but the layout and furnishings here made her feel very novel. This place is different from other restaurants. There are no dining tables in the hall, and all the dining tables are divided into two sides, like cabins. She knew that Matthew had been able to see things for a while, so she could use everyday objects as references to describe what she saw now: "Here... it's like being in space, it's very clean, some It's deserted. But they put light blue lights on the wall behind you, blending with a little bit of purple... I can't tell what it feels like when I see it, maybe you try to imagine and hear a Old Sir?"

Matthew tilted his ears, as if he was listening to a song in his memory: "Hoarse, casual, romantic, blues that never catches the rhythm?"

Lucy smiled slightly: "Yes, you described it very accurately."

"What's the table like?"

Lucy put her hand on the back of Matthew's hand, and gently held his hand hesitantly. Matthew didn't refuse. Lucy touched the thick layer of calluses on Matthew's hand, the calluses on the fingertips and joints Almost as hard as iron.Lucy took his hand to touch the rounded edge of the table: "The furnishings here are all extremely simple, but what surprised me is that the tables, chairs, and bar counter here seem to be one. It looks like it was placed here, but it grew out of the ground naturally."

Lucy moved Matthew's hand toward the center of the table.

"The table is a whole piece of milky white, curved glass table, but the center of the table is hollowed out and carved into the shape of a mountain, and then filled with blue liquid, like an abyss under the sea."

Matthew smiled bitterly: "This is a bit embarrassing for me. I haven't seen what the abyss looks like. Tell me how you feel when you see it."

Lucy stared at the deep blue circle in the center of the milky white, and whispered softly: "First of all, I am curious, its color is very beautiful, the upper layer is blue, and then you can't help but look deeper, but the deeper you go, the more Rugged, the darker the color, it makes you feel... difficult to breathe." Lucy seemed to have a sense of fear in her voice, and paused for a while, "I don't know what is at the bottom, it is too black, and the black is very pure , like the silentest night."

"Does it scare you?"

"Do not."

Lucy looked deeply into Matthew's eyes, eyes hidden behind sunglasses with a hint of black and red.

"It's calm."

Matthew focused his senses on Lucy's heartbeat. The voice there was steady and powerful, just like her own voice. Maybe she was really inspired by what she described. Her voice was a little ethereal, with a hint of Cool breath.

"You stare into the abyss for a long time, and the abyss stares back into you," Matthew said.

Lucy seemed to be awakened suddenly, and she looked at him with the eyes that had just been awakened from a dream: "What?"

"This is a sentence from Nietzsche's "Beyond Good and Evil" Chapter 4 "Proverbs and Interludes", 'He who fights the devil, should be careful not to become a devil. When you gaze into the abyss from afar, the abyss also gazes into you '." Matthew clicked on the center of the table, "I think this sentence can sum up your description very well."

Lucy was confused for a while, and then realized something: "It is indeed."

The waiter just appeared next to the two of them and recommended the dishes and wine for that night.

It seemed that the ordering time had been delayed for too long, Lucy tried not to look so impatient, Matthew ordered the aperitif, and she ordered the main course and dessert.

When the main course came, Lucy was speechless.

On a long plate, at the end is a hand-carved radish flower, with a brown dotted line drawn out with chocolate sauce, pointing to... three soybeans in the center of the plate.

"I remember I ordered crab legs." Lucy whispered, staring at the three soybeans in front of her in disbelief, "I don't understand why there are three beans!"

"Is that on my plate too?" Matthew asked.

"Yeah." Lucy was a little annoyed, the appetizers were not enough to fit between her teeth, which was not at all the same as the Michelin she imagined.

"Fudge told me that this restaurant is a very popular molecular gastronomy in New York." Matthew said, Lucy saw the waiter walking towards another table with a tray emitting white smoke, and there were some blue liquids looming in the white smoke. of test tubes.

When it comes to molecular cuisine, Lucy has a general idea. When she was called Lu Qi in her previous life, she used to go to a video site and saw the legendary "molecular cuisine" chef break an egg and turn it into foam , combined with miraculous ingredients such as isinglass, and finally made it back into the shape of an egg.

The name of this dish is eggs.

After reading it, Lu Qi went downstairs and ordered a bowl of hot and sour noodles.

This is called dry goods.

Now that she has finally seen the real molecular cuisine, she still feels very speechless.

Matthew put down his knife and fork: "So, I want to eat delicious food, and only you can help me?" He leaned forward, as if waiting for Lucy to make a move.

Lucy picked up a spoon and filled a soybean. She remembered that this dish was worth 70 US dollars, so one soybean was worth more than 20 US dollars. Lucy looked so distressed. With this money, crayfish can eat a pot up.

"Open your mouth." Lucy said, and Matthew opened his mouth obediently. Lucy watched the soybeans roll into Matthew's mouth, and then she waited eagerly for his evaluation.

Matthew's expression changed, his brows furrowed and then loosened, his Adam's apple moved, and he swallowed more than 20 dollars worth of soybeans.

"It's indeed crab leg meat, and there are many other things, you should try it." Matthew said, neither praise nor derogatory.

Lucy hesitated for a moment, and put the soybeans into her mouth. The moment she bit the beans, her taste buds opened. She felt that fireworks were blooming in the cavity. First, there was the taste of crab legs, although the beans could not be chewed like crab meat. It looked like a leg, but the fresh scent did spread out bit by bit, and then she seemed to taste the taste of asparagus again, and then transitioned to bear onion, Lucy opened her eyes bit by bit in surprise, this one Cai was like a magician who brought her endless surprises.

She closed her eyes and recalled the taste carefully, but it gradually disappeared, and finally only the taste of mint leaves lingered on the back of her tongue for a long time.

"How is it?" Matthew asked her.

"It's great, it's worthy of Michelin three stars." Lucy ate up the remaining two beans with some reluctance. Compared with Matthew's calmness, Lucy even seemed a little gulped.

Together they finished off what looked like a steak (but was actually roast duck), a salad that looked like an alien creature, and a soufflé, with soft music playing in the restaurant and their movements lightly, every day. Once when Lucy used a fork and accidentally made a sound on the plate, she would feel a little harsh in the whole environment.

After all the dishes were served, Lucy watched the waiter take away the empty plates with some unsatisfied interest. Matthew wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and asked her how the food was.

Rationally, this is a gluttonous feast on the tip of her tongue, but the fact is that she is still hungry.

"Did you like this dinner?"

"Of course, both the dining environment and the dishes are amazing." Lucy said.

Matthew laughed: "No, Lucy, I mean did 'you' like this dinner?"

She froze for a moment, a smile slowly bloomed on Lucy's face, she took off the napkin, put it on the table and pushed it out: "No, I don't like it that much, Matthew, do you have any recommendations?"

Matthew tilted his head and brought up the cherry pie that hadn't been taken out: "How about beer, French fries, high-calorie burgers, and grandma's cherry pie?"

"Sounds perfect."

The two stood up and left here as if escaping from a prison.

Lucy ran to the Bugatti Veyron parked on the street, knocked on the car window, and said to Tony Hogan, Tony's most trusted security supervisor, "Happy, give me my room card."

Happy took out the room card hesitantly: "Are you going back to the hotel now, Miss Lang?"

"Give yourself a break, Hubby, you're staring at me like crazy." Lucy quickly withdrew the room card from Hubby before he regretted taking it back, took off her high heels and ran towards Matthew.

Hubby was so frightened that he quickly opened the door and got out of the car: "Miss Lang, Mr. Stark told us to follow you!"

Lucy took Matthew's arm and urged him: "Run! Don't be caught up by them."

Matthew immediately ran towards an alley with Lucy, and Hobby was still shouting behind them, and the SHIELD agents who had been squatting at the end of the street rushed out of him and went into the alley to chase Lucy.

"Don't worry!" Lucy's voice sounded in the distance, accompanied by panting and silver bell-like laughter, excited like a 3-year-old girl who just entered a Disney park, "Matthew will protect me!"

"Matthew, Matthew..." Hubby chased after two more steps and couldn't catch up anymore, holding his leg and gasping for breath, "How can he protect you? He's blind!"
