Chapter 564: One Meal For One Book
Nobu has branches in more than 20 cities on five continents around the world. If you haven’t eaten it in North America, you will be embarrassed to say that you are a foodie.
Having tired of traditional Japanese cuisine, this world-class new Japanese cuisine that combines South American style with Japanese cuisine has been widely praised.
Of course, the price is definitely nothing for Zhang Chu now, even if you eat this meal, it’s fine.
After parking the car at the Marriott Hotel, Zhang Chu and Gu Xinxue came to this restaurant. The outdoor green bamboo decorations looked simple and elegant, but a large lounge was added at the door.
The booming colors have Chinese style and ashtrays on the table allow those addicts who come to eat to sip out of the non-smoking restaurant!
However, as a Japanese cuisine, it actually worships a red-faced Guan Gong in the middle of the wall, which makes Zhang Chu feel a little inappropriate.
Wooden tables and chairs, natural chopsticks, and open kitchens, fresh ingredients can be seen by customers at a glance.
"My wallet is already shrinking and crying. These are all the names of menus!" Gu Xinxue complained in a low voice. He couldn't understand Japanese, but many of the words in it were similar to traditional Chinese, and occasionally he could guess one or two words, but the shaky price blinded his eyes.
Any dish costs several hundred yuan, and this meal must last for several thousand yuan!
In fact, Zhang Chu was actually a master of Japanese in the Savior system before, but he didn't have any use. It's good to order dishes now.
The menu is full of dishes and names that are dazzling. Zhang Chu likes the stone pot steak very much. He frys it in a stone pot and serves it with three-quarters of cooked food. The customer decides the cooking time himself. The meat is old and tender, and the creativity is very good!
Although the waiter highly recommends that they order the package, the trouble-saving package may be in the assembly line product at the level.
So Zhang Chu resisted the waiter's marketing and ordered the two of them, including sashimi, sushi, dessert and the steak.
"Don't worry, you can't eat enough for a meal. It's said that this place is pretty good and is well-known in the imperial food circle."
Zhang Chu was not active in the Writers Association organization, but he quietly joined several local food groups in Yanjing.
For him, it is absolutely right to enjoy delicious food after making money, which is also the key to working hard to write novels!
Gu Xinxue deliberately covered his chest, "Neither my wife nor my wife had eaten such expensive food. If she knew that I was having a Japanese meal with a man, it would feel like it would be fried."
"Then tell my sister-in-law, can you get a copy of a meal for another book?"
"Really? You have to get a good book for such an expensive Japanese meal. It seems that you have an idea for a new book, so let's listen."
Zhang Chu took a sip of water and said frankly: "I have this idea and am currently preparing to experiment. The new book is a subject of suspense puzzles and will involve a lot of religious content, but this time the religious content should be more controversial."
"Which religion do you want to write? You know, these beliefs are strictly monitored, and it will definitely be a big deal if the believers make a fuss. Can't you write some worry-free stories?"
Gu Xinxue felt particularly tired. Such difficult works are sometimes easy to get into landmines, and if you are not careful, they will be misinterpreted.
Religious madman is the unreasonable kind.
"I plan to write about Catholicism, but this should not be considered a big deal in China. Most of us are atheists and people without faith. If we are abroad, writing about Catholicism is a hot sale."
Zhang Chu said it very bluntly. Many foreigners believe in Catholicism. Zhang Chu’s new book wants to take advantage of the biggest hot topic of Western civilization, that is, the origin of Christianity!
This is actually like a news reporter joining a hot topic to make big news, but Zhang Chu put it in the novel.
With Zhang Chu's current fame, if he doesn't rely on external factors, he will still be unable to become popular all over the world. Just like he owns two books "Pi's Fantasy Drift" and "Detective Sherlock", which is not even a little famous in Europe and the United States.
Gu Xinxue thought about it carefully. There are so many Catholic believers. If you really hit this hot topic, the attention will definitely be amazing!
Even if these people want to criticize Zhang Chu's new book and refute it, they at least have to buy it and read it before they know it.
So he asked casually, "What's the name of your new book?"
"Da Vinci Code."
This made Gu Xinxue's monk confused, "Aren't you talking about Catholicism? Why is it related to Da Vinci?"
Leonardo di Piero da Vinci is a famous Italian scholar and artist. The work that Chinese readers are most familiar with is probably "Mona Lisa", and the most familiar story is that Leonardo da Vinci draws eggs.
This Renaissance genius is the only versatile talent in human history. He is not only the most famous painter, but also a knowledgeable genius scientist, inventor, painter, biologist, architectural engineer, and proficient in sculpture, music, biology, astronomy, geography, etc.
Not only is he versatile, but he is also diligent and prolific. The manuscripts retained are more than 6,000 pages. Einstein believes that if Da Vinci's scientific research results were published at that time, technology could have been thirty to fifty years ahead of schedule!
Some even call him a time traveler like Wang Mang in Chinese history!
"Do you know that Da Vinci has another famous painting besides "Mona Lisa"?" Zhang Chu couldn't help but feel aroused.
This is not an uncommon knowledge. Gu Xinxue nodded and replied: "The Last Supper."
Just as he said these words, the editor patted his head and suddenly realized that he was thinking to himself, "Yes! The last supper, Jesus and his twelve disciples have their last supper in the Bible. This is indeed related to Catholicism."
Most Chinese people don’t know what happened to these twelve disciples and Jesus. Religious culture is not popular in China. The only thing they know is that foreigners always talk about Jesus and know who the person who was crucified on the cross was.
"It's this painting, it actually contains a shocking secret!" Zhang Chu lowered his voice and looked around, looking like an underground working party.
Gu Xinxue was inspired by the atmosphere, and also placed his hands on the table, asking cautiously: "What's the secret?"
"Actually, Leonardo da Vinci is a heterosexual!"
wtf!
All the dishes were prepared, but the result was this secret. Gu Xinxue deeply felt that he was being fooled. What kind of shocking secret is this?
"Stop teasing, just say it seriously."
Zhang Chu shook his head, "I really didn't lie to you. This is indeed a shocking secret. Don't tell others."
Chapter completed!
