Chapter 199: 4 women and 5 men dining alone
Walking along the path, you can occasionally see extras wearing magic robes and holding magic wands. They are either laughing or stopping to take pictures. Everyone's face is filled with longing and curiosity for the magic world. The air is filled with a light fragrance, a mixture of the fragrance of magic herbs and the tempting smell of baked bread, which makes people look forward to the upcoming food.
As we continued walking, we saw a huge castle, the landmark building of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Every stone in the castle seemed to contain a deep magical power, giving people a solemn and mysterious feeling. The castle was surrounded by clouds and mist, as if you were above the clouds, making people feel as if they had really stepped into the threshold of the magic world.
After crossing the square in front of the castle, the view suddenly opened up. On a wide lawn, there were various magic props and creature sculptures, such as flying brooms, magic potion bottles, and magic creatures, which were dazzling. On the lawn, three or four extras were playing and taking pictures to their heart's content, leaving countless beautiful memories.
In this ocean of joy, the Three Brooms Restaurant stands quietly aside.
First of all, the eye-catching thing is the antique wooden door, on which hang three huge brooms, which seem to be alive and ready to carry people into the magical world at any time. The handles of the brooms are carved with delicate patterns, and the broom hairs are natural brown, as if they were just picked from the magic forest.
On both sides of the gate, there is a huge deer antler, which is gleaming like a mysterious gift from the depths of the forest. The antlers are entwined with green vines, adding a touch of natural freshness.
Right above the door hangs a wooden sign with the words "Three Broomsticks" engraved on it. The font is simple and elegant, exuding a magical charm. On both sides of the sign, there are also several retro lanterns, adding a bit of warmth and mystery to the night.
The entire entrance decoration is full of magic and fantasy, which makes people full of expectations and curiosity about the interior of the restaurant. In front of the restaurant, there are several wooden dining tables and chairs for tourists to rest and eat.
When Lu Qingxi and Zhou Siming passed by the Three Broomsticks restaurant, they both stopped at the same time. The aroma and warm atmosphere of the restaurant attracted them.
Zhou Siming turned his head, looked at Lu Qingxi, and asked with a smile: "Qingxi, are you feeling hungry?" There was a hint of concern and kindness in his words.
When Lu Qingxi heard this name, he was slightly stunned, but then he reacted, nodded slightly, and responded: "A little bit."
Seeing this, Zhou Siming took two steps forward and gentlemanly helped Lu Qingxi open the door of the restaurant, and only gently closed the door after she had completely entered.
Although the two were not familiar with each other, Zhou Siming still tried his best to make this dining experience a pleasant one. He walked over to Lu Qingxi, took the initiative to pull out a chair for her, asked her to sit down, and handed her the menu he had just glanced at.
"The dishes here all look delicious. You can take a look and see what you like." Zhou Siming said with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness.
Lu Qingxi took the menu and began to browse through it carefully. She carefully read the two four-page menus from top to bottom. There were many tempting dishes on the menu, but she was not sure what to order. So she raised her head, looked at the waiter, and asked politely: "Excuse me, are there any special dishes or particularly popular dishes in the restaurant?"
The waiter was so fascinated by Lu Qingxi's stunning appearance that he smiled and replied, "Of course, our roast chicken and ribs platter is very popular, and fish and chips and leek and potato soup are also popular dishes among guests. If you like desserts, our strawberry milkshake is also very popular among the ladies."
Lu Qingxi listened to the waiter's recommendation, nodded, and ordered a few dishes that he was interested in. Afterwards, Zhou Siming took the menu and looked at it, and added a few dishes that he thought Lu Qingxi might like.
While waiting for the food to be served, Zhou Siming took the initiative to talk to Lu Qingxi. He curiously asked Lu Qingxi what she thought of other projects in Universal Studios and what special feelings she had about the Harry Potter story. Lu Qingxi responded with a smile, saying that she was very fascinated by the Harry Potter movies.
Zhou Siming's eyes lit up after hearing this, as if he had found a common topic. He further asked, "Since you like Harry Potter movies so much, have you ever thought about which college you would choose if you were a student at Hogwarts?"
Lu Qingxi thought for a moment, then said firmly: "I will choose Slytherin, which is the Snake House."
Zhou Siming was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect Lu Qingxi to choose this academy that is often portrayed as "villains" in movies. He asked curiously: "Oh? Why did you choose Slytherin? Can you tell me the reason?"
Lu Qingxi looked Zhou Siming straight in the eye and answered, "It's not a bad thing to be ambitious. Slytherin students are usually very goal-oriented. They know what they want and are willing to work hard for it. I think this spirit of pursuing dreams and goals is worthy of respect."
After listening to Lu Qingxi's opinion, Zhou Siming admired her. He smiled and said, "You are right. It is not a bad thing to have ambition. As long as we can guide it correctly and let it become our driving force, it can help us realize more dreams and goals."
The two continued to have an in-depth discussion on the topic of Harry Potter, and the distance between them gradually narrowed in the process. The time waiting for the food to be served seemed to be no longer long, and both of them were immersed in this relaxed and happy atmosphere.
As the dishes were served, the atmosphere in the restaurant was instantly elevated to a new level. The first two grilled chicken ribs platters were served, each containing two large attractive pork ribs and a whole fragrant grilled chicken leg, which occupied the center of the table. The aroma they exuded was mouth-watering, making people want to taste it immediately.
Then, two servings of fish and chips and two servings of English garden salad were brought up by the waiter. The golden and crispy fried fish skin wrapped around the tender fish meat, paired with the colorful salad next to it, the freshness and richness intertwined to form a delicious picture. The leek and potato soup, with its rich and mellow flavor and delicate taste, added a touch of warmth to this lunch.
With the arrival of grilled steak with rosemary sauce, baked mushrooms with cheese, apple pie and other dishes, the entire table was already filled with a variety of delicacies. Zhou Siming looked at the dishes on the table and said to Lu Qingxi with a smile: "It looks good, let's try it quickly." He took the two glasses of butter beer handed over by the waiter, carefully put one of them to Lu Qingxi's hand, and gently reminded her to drink slowly.
The two began to eat, and it was obvious that this was their first time eating alone, and there was still a subtle tension in the air. But as time went on, the aroma and taste of the food gradually took over, and they gradually relaxed.
