She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

At 7 p.m., a few people went to a restaurant for dinner.

The restaurant is located in an open space surrounded by bamboo forests. Through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the steam from the hot springs swirling in the moonlight, adding a touch of mystery.

The restaurant's interior is decorated in a simple yet luxurious style, using natural materials as the main element. Wooden tables, chairs, and floors, combined with soft lighting, create a relaxing atmosphere as soon as you enter.

Several abstract art paintings hang on the wall, adding a touch of modernity to the restaurant.

Each table is set with exquisite tableware and fresh flowers, which brings joy to the heart.

Several people sat down at a long table.

It's a window seat, offering a view of the nightscape of Biquan Valley.

The waiter smiled and handed over the menu, explaining that the restaurant serves vegan cuisine, but each dish is carefully designed to achieve the best balance between taste and nutrition.

"Our cuisine not only emphasizes the freshness and seasonality of ingredients, but also the color, aroma, and taste of the food, as well as its artistic presentation," the waiter proudly explained.

The menu features a variety of creative vegetarian dishes, such as appetizers made with fresh local vegetables, main courses made with bean products, and desserts made with seasonal fruits.

Each dish is paired with a selection of fine wines, enhancing the overall dining experience.

When the dishes were served, Mario and his wife finally understood the waiter's pride.

The dishes are presented like works of art, with harmonious color combinations that provide a great visual experience.

For example, the "Emerald Bamboo Heralds Spring" dish, themed around bamboo shoots, cleverly blends the tenderness of bamboo shoots with the flavors of various vegetables, presenting a sense of vitality and life in spring.

The presentation was exquisite. The bamboo shoots were cut into thin strips, mimicking the shape of bamboo, and placed on a piece of green spinach puree, like a touch of new green in a bamboo forest.

The bamboo shoots are garnished with pink carrot shreds dyed with beetroot juice and small bamboo leaves carved from cucumbers, adding a touch of refreshing green.

The bamboo shoots are carefully selected before cooking to ensure that each one is the most tender part.

They are quickly blanched to keep them crisp and tender, then stir-fried with sliced ​​shiitake mushrooms, bell peppers, and young ginger to retain the original flavor of the ingredients.

With precise control of the heat, the bamboo shoots and vegetables are quickly stir-fried at high temperatures, which not only locks in the nutrients but also maintains their crisp texture.

Finally, the chef sprinkled some black sesame seeds and finely chopped cilantro on the dish, adding a touch of aroma and complexity.

Mario took a bite and couldn't help but exclaim, "This dish not only looks beautiful, but it also has distinct layers of flavor. The tenderness of the bamboo shoots, the crispness of the vegetables, and the umami of the mushrooms blend perfectly, leaving a lingering aftertaste."

After he finished speaking, he smacked his lips as if savoring the lingering taste in his mouth.

Pei-Rong's favorite dish is "Lotus Vegetarian Cuisine".

Its inspiration comes from the purity and elegance of the lotus.

Using tofu as the main ingredient, pieces of tofu are carved into the shape of lotus petals and placed on a transparent glass plate.

Below is a layer of clear "pond water" made from vegetable juice.

The tofu petals resemble lotus flowers floating on the water, making them both beautiful and poetic.

The tofu undergoes special treatment before carving to ensure its texture is firm enough to withstand the delicate work of carving.

The carved tofu petals are gently placed into a wok and slowly fried at a low temperature until golden brown, resulting in a crispy outer layer while the inside remains tender and smooth like tofu.

The fried tofu petals were placed in "pond water," and as the temperature dropped, the tofu gradually absorbed the refreshing flavor of the vegetable juice.

Around the tofu petals, the chef cleverly arranged small lotus leaves carved from bell peppers and cucumbers, as well as some "water plants" made of purple cabbage and carrot shreds, making the whole dish more vivid.

Finally, sprinkle with some chopped nuts and sesame seeds to add a crunchy texture and rich nutrition to this dish.

Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the delicate flavor of tofu and the refreshing taste of vegetable juice complement each other perfectly, allowing you to experience a tranquil and elegant atmosphere while enjoying the dish.

“This is truly the most delicious and elegant vegetarian food I have ever tasted,” Pei Rong exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight under the light.

Gu Tingyu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, the food here is not only top-notch in taste, but each dish seems to tell a story."

Xiao Mohan smiled and raised his glass: "To enjoy such a dinner in such a place is truly one of life's great pleasures."

They enjoyed the food and chatted happily in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

As the conversation became more animated, Mario suddenly said to Sumaiqi, "Miss Sumaiqi, I have a favor to ask, and I hope you can help me with it?"

"Oh? How can I possibly help Mr. Mario? I would be honored."

"Do you remember the jade with violet flowers that I left behind when we were in the mine? Actually, I left this jade to make a bracelet for Pei Rong."

We used to have a violet bracelet with floating flowers, but it broke in a car accident while protecting Pei Rong; I've always wanted to give her another one.

When I saw this piece of jade, my first thought was that it was made for me.

I hope you can design this bracelet; Pei Rong will definitely love your design.

Su Maiqi never expected there to be such a story behind the violet jade. She readily agreed, saying, "I'm very happy to. Jade is believed to have a spirit. Sister Peirong has a deep connection with the violet jade."

I am honored to have been a part of this process.

Pei Rong, standing nearby, was also delighted: "That's wonderful! Qi Qi's spirit is a perfect match for this jade. I'm really looking forward to it too."

Surprisingly, Mario took out a purple box containing jade from his bag and handed it to Sumaiqi: "Then I'll entrust this jade to you for safekeeping."

The primary goal is to achieve the best design efficiency, without worrying about saving materials.

This jade piece all belonged to Pei Rong.

After saying that, he looked at Pei Rong with doting eyes and a smug expression.

Pei Rong was also deeply moved, not only because Mario had feelings for her, but because he truly understood her.

Moreover, meeting such a young designer whom I admire in my homeland of China was a truly wonderful feeling.

Su Maiqi accepted the jade, feeling a heavy weight of trust. She said earnestly, "Thank you for your trust in me; I will complete the design as soon as possible."

Pei Rong smiled and said, "There's no rush. We're going back to Spain the day after tomorrow. You can study this jade first and get some initial ideas and inspiration. We can work on the specific design later."

“If all else fails, the jade can be temporarily stored here with you,” Mario added.

Everyone laughed; this designer had to be Su Maiqi.
