When they arrived at the door of Quintessence, they did not go in immediately. Mizuna Hayato came to a person waiting at the door and took a bag from his hand.
"Thanks, Okuda." Minato Hayato thanked with a smile.
"That's right." Okuda bowed slightly and kept smiling: "Then I'll take my leave first."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work~" After saying goodbye to him, Minato Hayato turned back to Hirosue Ryoko and said, "Shall we go in?"
Hirosue Ryoko looked at the big bag in his hand curiously: "What is this?"
"Wine." Minato Hayato replied casually, then slightly bent his arm and gestured, and Hirosue Ryoko also hugged him.
The two walked in the door side by side and were immediately greeted by a waiter.
"Mizumi-kun! Long time no see!"
"Long time no see! Are you busy, Kishida-san?"
"Yes, the chef is preparing a new set meal recently."
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have a chance to come to your place for a meal."
"Just kidding, Mizunami-kun, I think the chef will be happy too."
Hirosue Ryoko knew how to be a qualified female companion and kept her manners, but she was even more curious about Minakami Hayato being so familiar with this place.
The waiter welcomed the two of them to their seats. Minato Hayato looked around. The entire restaurant remained full as usual. Most people had already started to taste the delicious food. The kitchen should be the busiest now.
So he said to the waiter: "Tell Kishida-san, finish your work first and then we can talk slowly. Anyway, there is nothing to do tonight."
"Okay." The waiter nodded: "Are you two going to taste your food now?"
Minato Hayato glanced at Hirosue Ryoko and saw that she had no objection, so he nodded and said: "Then let's get started."
You cannot order dishes at Quintessence. The menu is usually updated every once in a while, and there is only one set meal on the menu. Giving it to customers is just to show them what kind of dishes they will eat later.
...
When it comes to French food, perhaps the keywords that come to mind are romance, exquisiteness, compactness, etc., but this does not mean that you will not be full after eating French food. There are a lot of appetizers, main dishes, etc., definitely You can taste delicious food and be full at the same time.
After wiping his mouth a little, Minato Hayato took a sip from the wine glass and asked, "How is it? Does it taste good?"
Before Hirosue Ryoko could reply, the waiter on the other side came over and said, "Two of you, our chef would like to hear your comments on tonight's cuisine."
"Oh! It's okay, it's okay." Mizuna Hayato smiled.
Since they and Kishida had something to do after their appointment on Wednesday, the two of them deliberately slowed down their meal, and by now there were very few people left in the restaurant.
I have to say that it was really uncomfortable to have to slow down the pace of eating when there were a lot of customers in the restaurant looking at them curiously.
"Boy, are you satisfied with the food?" Kishida, the famous chef of this restaurant, finally showed up on Wednesday.
"Of course I'm as positive as ever. As for this lady..." Hayato Minakami looked at Hirosue Ryoko.
"It's delicious!" Hirosue Ryoko smiled, showing her cute tiger teeth.
"That's good, Hirosue-san, thank you very much for your evaluation." Kishida said with a smile on Wednesday.
In fact, even though Minakami Hayato has become famous recently, it can't compare to the national reputation Hirosue Ryoko has accumulated. Just from the whispers of other guests, he knew that some of them recognized her, but they regarded Minakami Hayato as a pretty boy.
And Kishida also recognized her on Wednesday. He hadn't seen Minakami Hayato for so long, and he knew about his debut as an actor. But looking at him dating Hirosue Ryoko alone, he didn't become an actor for nothing!
"Okay, no more words. Have you brought what I want?" He looked at Mizuna Hayato.
"Here it is." Minato Hayato lifted up the big bag.
"Why are you just putting it on the floor!" Kishida said angrily on Wednesday, "Won't you let Miyazaki bring it in first?"
"I hand it to you personally as a surprise." Mizuna Hayato smiled.
Kishida shook his head on Wednesday, came to the empty table next to him, and took out the contents of the bag one by one. It was only then that Hirosue Ryoko realized that all the contents were wine.
"It's the wine our family brewed this season." Seeing the look in her eyes, Minato Hayato explained.
But Hirosue Ryoko was just more confused. After all, it was illegal for Yingzhou to make wine by itself, but if he dared to take it out so openly, it meant...
"Our family has a small winery in Yamanashi." Hayato Minato explained casually and came to Kishida's side: "As usual, two bottles of white and two bottles of red."
"Yes." Kishida nodded on Wednesday, took the bottle of white wine that Miyazaki had just opened, and went up to smell it: "Not bad."
"Of course it's good. Now we only have Kishida-san as a guest in our small winery. How dare we fool you." Hayato Minakami smiled: "I hope this time I can add color to celebrity chef Kishida's new recipe on Wednesday~"
Yamanashi Prefecture, where the Minakami family is originally from, is one of the most famous grape-producing areas in Sakurasu. There are many large and small wineries. There are countless small private wineries like the Minakami family that only produce small batches. The only special thing is probably that they were brought here a few years ago. Kishida, who was in Yamanashi choosing wine to pair with the new menu, just chose Wednesday.
Mizuna Hayato might think it was nothing, but Hirosue Ryoko had to take a high look at it.
Wine pairing with French cuisine is also a very important part. The right wine can perfectly enhance the flavor of the food. Kishida is one of the few famous French chefs around the world, so the winery he selected is definitely extraordinary. .
But Mizunami Hayato has the appearance of "the small winery is not worth mentioning, thanks to Kishida-san's care".
Kishida glanced at him on Wednesday: "If I hadn't known that your main business is running a hospital, I would have been moved."
"By the way, why are you here this time?" Kishida asked on Wednesday.
"Of course it's because I miss Kishida-san's cooking!" Hayato Minakami said confidently.
"I want to discuss something with you by the way."
"..." Kishida was silent for a moment on Wednesday: "What's the matter?"
"I must have heard about it, Kishida-san. I started out as an actor, and what I needed was a good story and a good script. So I immediately thought of your story, Kishida-san. Have you ever thought about putting your story on the screen?"
"On the screen?"
"It's a TV series or a movie. Look, I even brought the heroine for you." Minato Hayato said, making way for Hirosue Ryoko.
"Eh?" Hirosue Ryoko was stunned. He had not discussed this with her.
"I've also thought about the male lead. What do you think of Kimura Takuya?" Hayato Minazinakura continued.
