After picking up the people, they went to the hotel, let Li's father and mother Li rest first, and then prepare to go to dinner.
Li Du took Sophie to thank the JPMorgan staff for sending her parents to Los Angeles.
For dinner, he plans to book Urasaa, a top Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles, which has a three-star Michelin rating, and Li Du has eaten three Michelin stars, which is really particular.
A 30-course meal at Urasaa costs as little as $400 per person, and there are only ten chairs in it, which is very sought-after and has to be booked a week in advance.
However, Li Du has JPMorgan Chase's palladium card, which is too domineering, and it is a panacea in the service industry, which can be used anywhere and can be used to temporarily book a table.
Li Du discussed with his parents to eat Japanese food, and when Li's father learned that it was a restaurant opened by a Japanese, he shook his head firmly: "No, we can't let Little Japan earn money if we have money, otherwise how can we be worthy of your grandfather and grandmother?"
During the Japanese invasion of China, their county seat was occupied by the Japanese army, because their village was close to the county seat, and the devils forced strong men from the village to repair turrets and dig trenches.
Even though the common people worked honestly, in the end, for unknown reasons, the devils killed them, and half of the village's strong laborers died at the hands of the devils.
Li Du's grandfather was still young at that time, and he was taken by a neighbor to row along the river and ran away, and later beat away the devil before returning to the village.
Until now, it is unknown where the bodies of Li Du's grandfather and grandmother are, it is a very dark history, and until now, the old people on their side have to wipe their tears when they talk about it.
Li Du nodded and changed a restaurant, and Father Li taught him very seriously, saying that the Chinese and the devil swore that they would not be on the same side, and sooner or later there would be a big war, so that he could not do business with the devil in the United States.
Li's father's patriotism is pure patriotism, and their generation has infinite loyalty and love for the motherland, which is something that Li Du's generation cannot understand.
Eventually, they chose a French restaurant and went for French and Mediterranean food.
Engaged in warehousing and auction work, Li Du has a lot of experience in food, and he has been involved in food from all over the world.
The French restaurant, called Blue Garden, is not in the Michelin rating, but it is also well-known in Los Angeles, located on the central floor of the Ritz-Carlton hotel building, overlooking the Los Angeles coastline.
The building has a total of fifty-five floors, two hundred and twenty meters high, and the top floor has a better view, but what you can see is not clear enough, and the middle floor is just right.
Li Du kept calling, and Li's father was very puzzled and said, "It's just a meal, can you make so many calls?"
Sophie explained: "It's a hassle to book a seat at these restaurants, and Lee should be trying to figure out how to get a seat through a friend's channel. ”
Father Li made a sudden realization, and secretly said to Mother Li: "It's too difficult to have a meal in the United States, it's better to go out to the restaurant." ”
"You said that the restaurant can entertain Sophie and her parents?" said Li's mother with disgust.
Father Li said stupidly: "Why can't it? It's all a mouth and a stomach, as long as you can eat enough, why pick and choose?"
When he entered the restaurant, he didn't say that.
The Blue Country Restaurant takes the naturalistic route, which is equivalent to carving out a small French farm in the city of steel and concrete.
It occupies an area of one floor, and there are flowers, grasses, and trees in it, all real plants.
The restaurant is like a farm, with small wheat fields, vegetable fields, and small breeding areas, with swimming fish in the pond and chickens and ducks in the poultry house.
Walking through the restaurants is like walking through the farmlands of France, and when you look out the window, you can see the vast harbor to the southwest and the vast city of Los Angeles to the northeast.
The restaurant is like a heavenly city, where people tend to have the idea that I live in the sky, I am with God, and I am in control of everything in the world.
Father Li was shocked by the scene he saw in front of him, this kind of farmland restaurant style is not available in his small county town, and this is still in the air at a height of 100 meters, which is even more amazing.
Li Du told the restaurant manager his contact information, and the manager took them to the best location in the southwest, and turned their heads to the harbor.
Mother Li sat down for a while and sneered: "I can't, I'm afraid of heights." ”
Li Du and Sophie ordered the food, and the restaurant served more slowly, but there were some tapas that were also good, such as the Nut Caesar Salad.
Father Li whispered to Li Du that this salad was a little cabbage sprinkled with some nut fragments.
Li Du laughed, it is true, but this is a famous dish.
Foie gras toast, fish cheese Mexican ice fish, ham and cheese puffs, mullet roe with shallots and white wine, sautéed clams with nine-tiered tower, tuna belly with red peppers in oil, almond spicy sauce, Portuguese duck claypot rice and more, once served, the speed is very fast.
The sun sets and night falls.
Los Angeles is the city that never sleeps, and although the city doesn't have many high-rise buildings, the lights are incessant, and at night it looks even more stunning than during the day.
Downstairs, the harbour strip is lit up with lights, and some cruise ships are lit up and set off at night for a new journey around the coastline.
Li Du and Sophie talked about their journey in Australia and Africa, mixed with Chinese and English, leading the conversation at the dinner table, making the four elderly people laugh constantly.
When Sophie was introducing the Pygmies in Africa, Li Du's mobile phone rang, and he nodded after connecting and said, "Okay, I know, let's get started." ”
He answered the phone, and Sophie didn't speak again, and when he hung up, Sophie introduced again.
Li Du smiled and looked at her side face, when she was concentrating on explaining, her temperament was demure and beautiful.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "Hey, look down, what's on the sea?"
The guests on the southwest side turned their heads to look, and then exclaimed in exclamation: "Is it a fire, is the sea burning?" "What is this? How did it appear?" "Take a picture!" "How can the ocean catch fire?"
The exclamation attracted Sophie and the others, who also looked out the window.
Looking down from the window, the sea in the harbor was pitch black, but in the darkness, a raging fire was burning in their place!
The golden flames appeared on the surface of the sea in a linear pattern, they were originally a point, and then spread rapidly to the sides, and the two lines of fire crossed a soft arc on the sea, and when they reached a position, they converged in the middle.
The wires of fire were finally glued together, and a huge, flaming heart pattern appeared!
At the moment when the heart pattern is formed, a line of flame words instantly burns: Sophie Martin, the tide rises and falls, but love does not change.
