Chapter 781 - 373: Luxurious Lunch, He Jing’s Overwhelming Happiness! (Part 2)

The furniture in each private room of Jinghua Pavilion is all custom-made.

The lines are simple and smooth, mostly made of black walnut wood and brass, with a warm touch, showing true charm in the details.

Every corner, and the light and shadow effects of each hidden lamp strip, are meticulously calculated.

Creating a visual effect that feels like a painting with every step.

Jiang Tao and He Jing followed behind the woman in a qipao, whose temperament was like that of an ancient noblewoman, through several moon gates and corridors.

They finally stopped at a doorway with the plaque reading "Yutang Spring".

"Please come in, this is the banquet hall we’ve arranged for you two, if you’re not satisfied, you can have it changed."

The tall qipao waitress gently pushed open the carved wooden door, inviting Jiang Tao and He Jing with a smile.

This private room, true to its name, has a delicate open-air courtyard, filled with tall magnolia trees.

Although it’s not magnolia season, the green leaves spread like canopies, and sunlight filtered through the branches casts mottled, swaying shadows indoors.

A gentle breeze brings the unique fresh scent of plants, mixed with the faint fragrance of sandalwood inside, refreshing the soul.

Through the huge glass wall, the courtyard view is unobstructed, as if nature and landscape have been included in the banquet.

This is hardly a private room, it feels more like a courtyard!

"How about it, Jingjing, does this place suit you?"

Jiang Tao steps into the courtyard, glances around to observe the surroundings.

He doesn’t particularly care about the dining environment, as long as the food and drink are good.

"Hmm, yes Brother Tao, this place is very nice, very beautiful!"

He Jing, visiting such a high-end place for the first time, naturally can’t pick out any faults.

"Miss, quickly serve the dishes, I’m hungry."

Seeing He Jing had no objections, Jiang Tao sat carelessly at a table, boldly instructed the waitress to serve the meal.

Though this place is indeed high-class, in Jiang Tao’s view, it’s merely a dining place, not worth being too restrained.

He’s here to spend, he sees himself as a god, it’s the waitress who should feel constrained in serving him!

It’s said that money is a man’s courage, and holding assets worth billions now, Jiang Tao’s courage is indeed quite strong.

Or perhaps, it’s due to his long-time association with grand figures like Xiang Huabin, Du Taoming, and Bai Yujie that he’s grown accustomed.

Gradually, Jiang Tao developed something called "presence" within himself.

"Alright sir, please wait a moment, we’ll arrange it for you shortly."

The server politely responded to Jiang Tao, then started instructing the kitchen to serve via her earpiece.

While waiting, the server who brought Jiang Tao and He Jing in introduced the background of Jinghua Pavilion to them.

Jinghua Pavilion specializes in new-style Chinese cuisine.

The owner, Gu Yuesheng, is a legendary figure in the culinary world.

The Gu Family has been a line of chefs for generations, their ancestors once served as imperial chefs in the palace.

With hundred years of tradition and accumulation, the Gu Family has developed its own unique cuisine style.

Every dish of the Gu Family cuisine has undergone generations of research and continuous iteration, every dish is a classic among classics.

The banquet begins without a menu, all arranged by the chef with the freshest and top-quality ingredients of the day, filled with unknown anticipation.

The first appetizer is named "Liuli Ming Shrimp Cup".

The server brings a crystal-clear glass cup, thin as a cicada’s wing, refracting dreamlike colors under the light.

Inside the cup is not whole shrimp meat, but the most exquisite part of fresh shrimps.

These essences are processed using molecular technology, transformed into transparent shrimp meat pearls resembling giant caviar, adorned with edible gold foil and delicate seaweed jelly.

Using a small shell spoon to scoop it in the mouth, a gentle touch shatters the thin outer membrane instantaneously, bursting with extreme fresh sweet juice like a bomb on the tastebuds.

This Liuli Ming Shrimp Cup offers an incredibly wonderful taste, worthy of being a unique dish.

Following it is the soup course, "Snow Top Truffle Golden Soup".

A delicate white porcelain bowl is brought, lifting the lid for a mix of rich mushroom aroma combined with the broth steeped from old hen and ham fills the air.

The soup is a clear and dazzling golden yellow, like liquid gold.

Most remarkable is the snow top above the soup, made from whipped yam puree and egg white, pure and flawless.

The snow top is sprinkled with freshly shaved, aromatic black truffle shards.

In tasting, the snow top and golden soup are meant to be enjoyed together, where the yam’s sweet delicacy, egg white foam’s lightness, truffle’s fierce aroma, and soup base’s rich flavor intertwine and clash in the mouth.

This soup is supremely complex, as if narrating a story about treasures in deep mountains and the passage of time.

The main course features the finest M12 Wagyu short ribs, slow-roasted using ancient charcoal fire techniques for over ten hours.

The ribs are grilled to a crispy exterior, yet the inside displays perfect blush pink meat, melts in mouth.

The balance between the luscious aroma of fats and the texture of meat fibers reaches a sublime harmony, complemented by a glaze made from aged Huadiao wine and secret sauce, lingering with endless aftertaste.

There are also artistic dishes like "Jade Unicorn Coral Grouper", "Five Grain Quinoa Mushroom Pot", the purest "Bluefin Tuna Sashimi", imported "Caviar"...

Every dish resembles a finely crafted artwork, the names poetic, their appearance filled with narrative and visual impact.

When serving, the server uses the most refined words to narrate the dish’s inspiration from ancient methods and the chef’s modern techniques.

Providing not only culinary enjoyment but also fulfilling knowledge and cultural levels.

The table Jiang Tao booked today, along with a bottle of 1990 Romanee-Conti, totals slightly over 120,000.

For once indulging with He Jing, Jiang Tao doesn’t mind spending this bit of money.

Young girls love romance.

Occasionally indulging He Jing in romance is no problem.

He Jing indulges in this unprecedented dining experience.

She tries each amazing dish in small bites, feeling a series of surprising explosions on her palate.

Occasionally lifting her head to look at Jiang Tao opposite, her eyes filled with unabashed love and happiness.

Here, she not only enjoys top-notch luxury cuisine, feasting her tastebuds.

More importantly, she feels Jiang Tao’s sincerity and care for her.

He hasn’t belittled her due to her initiative.

He Jing feels cherished by Jiang Tao, being cared for by him.

Today is the most beautiful day of her life!

Of course, this beauty doesn’t relate much to the cuisine, mainly due to Jiang Tao’s company.

Being with Jiang Tao, even dining at a street stall for dozen yuan is infinitely joyful.

As the meal progresses, with Jiang Tao’s gentle care.

He Jing gradually returns to her usual liveliness and cheekiness from the initial restraint and tension.

Her little mouth continues to enjoy the cuisine while chirping about various topics with Jiang Tao.

Discussing past experiences of secretly watching Jiang Tao whenever they dined together.

It’s clear, He Jing is genuinely happy.

The meal lasts nearly two hours.

Once seasonal fruit and a uniquely styled palate-cleansing dessert are served, the luncheon officially concludes.

He Jing sets down the delicate dessert spoon, feeling immensely satisfied and relaxed mentally and physically.

"Brother Tao, thank you, this is the most delicious and happiest meal I’ve ever had."

He Jing looks at Jiang Tao, smiling sweetly, her gaze swirling with deep affection, her love for him growing deeper.

"Silly, why thank me, it’s just taking you out for a meal."

Jiang Tao laughs, reaching to ruffle He Jing’s hair, making her bangs messy.

"Let’s go, I’ll take you to see the location of our future gym in the afternoon."

Jiang Tao says while rising from his seat, getting ready to leave.

"Hmm hmm! I’m curious about what our gym will look like."

He Jing stands eagerly as well, quickly stepping beside Jiang Tao, naturally linking her arm with his.
