Chapter 504: My Craft Is Not Unpaid!
Xu Xia's refusal was straightforward and decisive, which caught Flender a little off guard, and he seemed to have made it very clear.
Although Michelin restaurants are closed in China, it does not mean that its strength is not good, and it is still the top in the international catering industry.
Being able to work in a Michelin-starred restaurant is the dream of many chefs.
Could it be that Xu Xia is not interested at all?
It's not scientific!
The salary, benefits, high working environment, and several opportunities to study abroad every year are enviable.
But Xu Xia actually refused.
Flender couldn't figure it out, why?
Seeing that Xu Xia was about to leave, Flender hurriedly shouted:
"Mr. Xu, I take the liberty of asking, I can know what made you give up my invitation, I gave you the position of head chef of a Michelin restaurant, of course, there will be a short training during this period. ”
Xu Xia turned his head and looked at Flender's incomprehensible expression, as if he had refused, as if it was really his loss, and the pride and prejudice of Westerners as always seemed to be deeply rooted in their bone marrow.
Xu Xia wondered, since there was human civilization, it seems that the rise of Westerners has only been one or two hundred years, and they have been pressed to the ground by the Shenzhou civilization in the past, how can they have such strong self-confidence?
Don't you know that the current Shenzhou is no longer the Shenzhou of a hundred years ago?
The people of Shenzhou have stood up and returned to the world stage, and the land of Shenzhou is the center of the earth.
And all this is just a matter of picking up the glory of the past, which is reasonable.
But these foreigners are difficult to count in their hearts.
Xu Xia pursed his lips, smiled faintly, and said:
"Want to hear the truth?"
Flender nodded,
"Yes, I'd love to know why. ”
In my eyes, the so-called three-Michelin three-star restaurant is just like that, except that the presentation looks okay, but in fact, the taste of the dish itself is rubbish!
If you really want to talk about eating, it is still the diet of our Shenzhou that runs through the world!
Don't be busy denying it, seeing that you speak Chinese so smoothly, you should have come to Shenzhou for a long time, since you are a food critic, then you must have eaten many places of Shenzhou food, how it is, you should know very well in your heart. ”
"Also, if you want to talk about the dining environment of a Western restaurant or something, elegant, noble and so on.
I can already say responsibly that it was just that you perpetuated what was backward and then gave it a noble name.
It's like a French meal, you eat a meal for two or three hours? Hehe, don't think I don't know why this happens, it's not because I'm poor!
Historically, ordinary people in Shenzhou were able to eat enough, but it was difficult for you Western nobles to eat enough, and this is the gap.
And because as an aristocrat, he wants to save face, so he extends the meal time indefinitely, one dish at a time.
Instead of what you want to eat like Shenzhou, you can directly serve it to the table together, do you know what is called atmosphere? This is atmosphere!
Alright, I'm done with what I need to say, now you can say it!"
Xu Xia looked at the other party with a smile to see how he refuted.
Flender was silent, Xu Xia was right, many people who don't know about Western food will really think that eating one dish at a time is a high-end and noble way of dining.
But if you find out a little bit, you know what's going on, it's all because of poverty.
If the West at that time could be as rich as the Shenzhou Dynasty of the same period, why bother.
Isn't it fragrant to fill the table with dishes and pick what you want to eat?
Flender really couldn't refute what Xu Xia said, but he was still very unconvinced:
"I admit that what you said is right! However, every country has different eating habits, and your evaluation is too one-sided!
Moreover, the presentation of the Michelin restaurant, that's an art!
Xu Xia sneered again,
"Yes, then you'd better go and see my Shenzhou's plating skills, and then you can evaluate it, I'm not interested in arguing with you too much, because that would be meaningless and a waste of my time."
But, Mr. Flender, I still want to thank you for your kindness, and I won't send it off!"
After saying this, Xu Xia turned around and left without looking back.
Leaving Flender stunned in place.
He came with great interest, but he returned disappointed!
came to mind the dishes that Xu Xia made during the live broadcast, and the appearance was there, but the specific taste had to be said.
Xu Xia's mouth is very sharp, but he is not convinced, if Xu Xia has that real ability, he will also admit it, but he can't accept it if he hasn't tasted Xu Xia's craftsmanship in person!
"Wait! Mr. Xu!"
Flender didn't go, but caught up with Xu Xia and shouted:
"I still have something to say!"
Xu Xia is helpless, this foreigner is really persistent, the twisted melon is not sweet, don't you know?
He stared at each other,
"What's the matter!"
"I want to try your craft with my own mouth, I admit that there are many powerful chefs in Shenzhou, but it doesn't mean that you have them, if you don't have them, I hope you take back what you just said!"
Flender said.
Xu Xia has a feeling of toothache, stepping on a horse, I still want to eat this product!
Can anyone rub his food?
And this Flender is ruthless enough, he said that this is on it, if he doesn't take it, he will be stingy.
He frowned and said:
"It's not impossible to eat my food, but my food is not cheap!"
"I can pay!"
Flender was overjoyed and immediately replied,
"Make a bid! I'm sure I can afford it!"
Xu Xia lightly gestured a finger.
"A thousand? ”
Xu Xia shook his head.
"10,000 yuan? I'm willing to accept the price. ”
Xu Xia continued to shake his head.
"Are you talking about 100,000 yuan! Oh my God, what are you kidding!"
Flender thinks that Xu Xia may be crazy, and he can open it for a sky-high price of 100,000 yuan!
"That's right, it's 100,000 dollars, I'm worth so much money! The choice is yours, Mr. Flender!"
Xu Xia said lightly.
Flender was entangled, his salary was not low at all, but spending 100,000 yuan on a meal was still too luxurious for him, after all, he didn't even have to spend money to eat in many big restaurants, and he took the initiative to invite him to taste.
Flender looked up suddenly, his eyes bloodshot, and said:
"Okay! 100,000 yuan is 100,000 yuan! I agreed! Mr. Xu, I hope your craftsmanship will not disappoint me and be worthy of 100,000 yuan!"
