Chapter 440 Movie Y·M·C·A Dinner Outside the cinema. "Mr. Shen, what is a movie?" Tidom asked curiously, looking at the cinema with many movie posters. "What is a movie?" Shen Yun was stunned, but was stumped by Tidom's question. It's not that Shen Yun didn't understand movies, but he didn't know how to describe movies with the words that Tidom knew. "There should be musicals in the Heian period where Tidom lived?" Shen Yun asked carefully. The Heian period in Japan was already in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and the knowledge brought back by the Japanese envoys from the Tang Dynasty had already taken root in Japan. Song and dance drama was the most popular entertainment project in the Tang Dynasty. The merchant woman in "The Merchant Woman Does Not Know the Sorrow of the Lost Country" refers to the singing girls and actors who sing and dance. And Japan, which has studied the Tang Dynasty for 300 years, naturally learned Tang music and song and dance drama.
Even the court music and dance with Japanese style were born. "Musical? Yes." Tidom recalled, then nodded and said. "You can think of the movie as a large musical." Shen Yun said. "I see." Tidom nodded, and a little expectation appeared on her pretty face. Walking into the theater, Shen Yun glanced at the theater's schedule. The movie that was currently showing was "Kikujiro's Summer". Shen Yun looked at other movies and found that there was nothing good to watch, so he bought two tickets for "Kikujiro's Summer", and then bought a large bucket of popcorn and two cups of Coke, and took Tidom into the screening room. The screening room with dim lights was lined with many old-fashioned seats. And right in front of these seats, an old-fashioned projection screen was hung on the wall of the screening room. Maybe because it was not prime time, there were not many people in the screening room, and there were still many empty seats. Looking at the screening room with a sense of age, Shen Yun's eyes also flashed a trace of nostalgia. Tidom followed Shen Yun and looked at the environment in the projection room with curiosity. After seeing the stage with the old projection screen, he lowered his voice and said, "Such a small stage should not be able to perform musicals." "This..." Shen Yun scratched his head. He didn't know how to explain it. He could only say vaguely, "You will know it later. If you know it in advance, there will be fewer surprises." "I know." Tidom nodded and didn't ask any more questions. Shen Yun breathed a sigh of relief and took Tidom to their seats and sat down next to them. Not long after they sat down, the lights in the projection room suddenly went out with a "pop". The entire projection room fell into darkness, and Tidom was also startled by the sudden extinguishing of the lights. Then, the subtle sound of the old projector turning the film came from the projection room at the back. And the projection screen in front of them suddenly lit up with the appearance of a beam of light and began to project the movie screen. Seeing the projection screen suddenly showing the picture, Tidom couldn't help but look back at the hole where the beam came out.
"Is this the movie? It's so magical!" Tidom said excitedly. "Here, eat while watching." Shen Yun stuffed a bucket of popcorn and a large cup of Coke into Tidom's arms and smiled. He had also seen "Kikujiro's Summer", which is a comedy suitable for all ages. After the movie opening, the words written in blue and white chalk appeared on the screen - Kikujiro's Summer. Then, the main film began. Although Tidom felt novel at first, she quickly immersed herself in it as the plot developed. When seeing the humorous and interesting plot, Tidom could also get the joke and laughed happily. "Nene, Shen Jun, what does this gay mean?" Tidom grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth in his spare time, then leaned towards Shen Yun and asked in a low voice. "..., I think you'd better not know." Shen Yun looked inexplicable. When he mentioned this, a strong music could not help but ring in his mind. It seemed to be a very old song, sung by a group called VILLAGE PEOPLE in the 1980s. Ding ding ding ding ding, YOUNG MAN~ THERT＇S NO NEED TO FEEL DOWN~ I SAID YOUNG MAN~ Y·M·C·A! Sigh! YOUNG MAN~ "Okay." Tidom pursed his lips, picked up the large cup of Coke on the armrest, bit the straw and sipped gently. The stimulation and enjoyment that carbonated drinks brought to the taste buds also surprised Tidom. "What?!" In addition to being surprised, Tidom couldn't help but taste it again. In just a few minutes, Tidom was completely captured by the fat house happy water. Looking at Didom holding a cup, happily sipping Coke, grabbing a handful of popcorn from time to time, and watching the movie with relish, Shen Yun's mouth curled up slightly. People are really adaptable. At this rate, it will probably take less than a year for Miss Miko to be corrupted by this comfortable modern life. Soon, two hours passed in a flash. After watching the movie, Shen Yun and Didom walked out of the theater together. It was dark outside, but the streets were still crowded and brightly lit. "This movie is really interesting. Can we come again in the future?" Tidom asked as he skipped down the steps of the theater. "Of course." Shen Yun agreed with a smile.
"Hehe." Tidom smiled and looked forward to his future life. "Dinglingling~" A phone rang from Shen Yun's pocket. Shen Yun took out his mobile phone, scanned the number, and answered the call. After a brief chat, Shen Yun hung up the phone. "Is there anything?" Tidom asked. After a day of fun today, her understanding of this era is no longer completely in the dark. "Nothing, just the restaurant I booked asked me when I would arrive and whether I need to postpone the time." Shen Yun said casually. "It's getting late now. Let's go have dinner first, then go to Tokyo Tower to enjoy the night view, and then we can go home." Shen Yun lifted his sleeves and looked at the time on his watch, and smiled. It was almost 15 minutes until 8pm, so it was no wonder that the restaurant called to inquire. "Okay!" Tidom nodded repeatedly, his face full of expectation. Seeing the unconcealed expectation on Tidom's pretty face, Shen Yun smiled. Yes, what delicious food could there be in the Heian period? Even the rich and powerful didn't necessarily eat as well as ordinary people today. "Then let's go." Shen Yun said. He had already arranged the itinerary and calculated the time. Whether it was a movie theater or a western restaurant, they chose the closest place. Shen Yun put away his phone and took Tidom to a high-end French western restaurant near Korakuen. This is a western restaurant called 'Brasserie', which serves authentic French cuisine. Seeing Shen Yun and Tidom coming over, the doorman standing in front of the French western restaurant also took the initiative to greet him and asked, "Sir, do you have a reservation?" "Yes." Shen Yun showed the reservation information. "Come in." The doorman took the initiative to open the door for Shen Yun. Shen Yun took Didom in and stuffed a Natsume Soseki note (1,000 yen) into the doorman's pocket. "This is a tip." "Thank you very much, I wish you a pleasant meal." The doorman bowed slightly, and the smile on his face became much more sincere. Walking into this French western restaurant, Didom also looked at the environment of this French western restaurant with a curious look. It was a style that he had never seen before, and it felt like a banquet in a palace. Because the chef and waiter are both from France, the interior decoration of this western restaurant is full of French style, and it feels like being on the Champs Elysees. In the center of this French western restaurant, there is a stage that is neither too big nor too small.
And the tables in the western restaurant are arranged around this central stage like stars surrounding the moon, ensuring that every guest can see the performance on the stage clearly. For example, now there is a professional band playing a violin and piano ensemble live. Well, the Blue Danube. Because he had used this to win the heart of a cold beauty, Shen Yun had some musical skills. Although he could not compose music, he could still appreciate it. He could tell the music played by this band as soon as he heard it. Tidom also saw the band playing classical music on the stage in the center of the restaurant. Although she was a little curious, she did not show much surprise on her face. However, this was also normal. The powerful class in the Heian-kyō era would also have beauties dancing and playing classical music when enjoying court banquets. It can only be said that many things nowadays are left over from the ancestors. The waitress in the restaurant hurriedly came up to Shen Yun and Tidom when she saw them coming in, and asked, "Is this Mr. Shen?" "Yes." Shen Yun nodded. "Please follow me." The waitress led Shen Yun and Tidom to the table Shen Yun had reserved in advance, and took the initiative to pull two chairs apart to facilitate Shen Yun and Tidom to sit down. After Shen Yun and Tidom were seated, the waitress brought a bottle of red wine and asked, "This is the Romanee-Conti you asked for. Can we open it now?" "Yes, open it now." Shen Yun said. As soon as Shen Yun finished speaking, the waitress skillfully picked up a knife and a wine opener, removed the cork, and poured the red wine into the two people's glasses to decant. Pure Pinot Noir wine generally does not need to be decanted. The bottle of Romanee-Conti he asked for was not a top-grade product, so it was enough to pour it directly into the glass to decant. Of course, the real high-end and top-grade Romanee-Conti must be decanted. However, that kind of high-end and top-grade product is not something that ordinary high-end Western restaurants can get. Tidom picked up the goblet and put it to the tip of his nose. The rich fruity aroma accompanied by the rich aroma of smoke and soil came to his face. "It smells so good, this." Tidom said in surprise. Shen Yun gently shook the goblet in his hand to allow the red wine in the glass to come into contact with the air more. After the aroma of the wine changed, Shen Yun placed the wine in front of Didom and said with a smile: "Come, try it." Didom took the goblet handed by Shen Yun and took a sip. When the red wine entered his mouth, a rich and mellow fruity aroma spread on the tip of his tongue, and the taste was soft and tight. As soon as he took a sip of wine, a blush appeared on Tidom's jade-like cheeks. "Well, it tastes good." Tidom put down the wine glass, thought for a while, and said.
Speaking of which, this was her first time drinking, and she couldn't explain why. She just thought it tasted pretty good. "Excuse me, can we serve the dishes now?" The waitress asked with a slight bow. "Yes." Shen Yun nodded. The waitress put her hands in front of her, bowed slightly, and then retreated. Not long after, the waitress came with a dining cart, on which were placed two dishes covered by the plate covers. When the waitress walked to the table, she placed the dishes covered by the plate covers on the dining cart in front of Shen Yun and Tidom, and then untied the plate cover to reveal the appetizer dish in it. On the plate were three slices of ham that had already been cut. "This is Jambon de Bayonne PGI (Bayonne ham) airlifted from France, suitable for pairing with red wine." The waitress introduced. Tidom picked up the silver fork, directly picked up a piece of ham and put it into his mouth. It was sweet and salty, soft and not greasy. Eating a piece of ham and then drinking a sip of red wine, the unique aroma of meat and the mellow wine are really memorable. After eating three small pieces of ham, the waitress pushed the dining cart again. This time it was hot soup. Considering Tidom's taste, Shen Yun ordered cream of mushroom soup. The next hot appetizer was red wine baked snails and French pan-fried foie gras. The last main course was French steak, black truffle Brioche puff pastry, and caviar. The dessert at the end was the classic macaron. After dinner, Shen Yun picked up the napkin beside him and wiped the corner of his mouth, then asked with a smile: "How is it? Not bad, right?" "Well, it's a very novel experience." Tidom's cheeks flushed slightly, and he seemed to be a little drunk. This is a completely different experience from the snacks at noon. "As long as you are satisfied." Shen Yun smiled, lifted his sleeves and looked at the watch on his wrist. They ate this meal for almost an hour. Now, it's nine o'clock in the evening. For young people nowadays, nine o'clock in the evening is the beginning of nightlife. Shen Yun looked at Tidom, whose cheeks were slightly flushed and a little drunk, and said: "Tidom, let's go back and rest." He got drunk like this after just drinking a glass of red wine. His alcohol tolerance is not very good. "Hmm..." Tidom tilted her head, as if she was thinking. But, under the influence of alcohol, her mind was a little confused.
"Hmm, no! I want to go!" Tidom shook her head and said. "Next time, Tokyo Tower is right there, it won't run away." Shen Yun said with a bit of a smile. "..." Tidom thought for a while, nodded reluctantly, and said: "Okay, let's go next time." Shen Yun got up from his seat and helped the drunk Tidom out of the western restaurant. Outside this French western restaurant, there was a special car he arranged. After helping Tidom get in the car, Shen Yun also sat in the back seat. After the driver saw Shen Yun get in the car, he also started the car and drove towards Shen Yun's villa in the port area. The driver drove the car very steadily, and the road was smooth and there was almost no bumps. After getting in the car, Tidom seemed to be sleepy and fell asleep leaning on the chair. Looking at Tidom's quiet sleeping face, Shen Yun supported his cheeks with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. Really like a child.
