Chapter 402: The First Guest to Ask for Dine-in (Three Watches Continue to Ask for a Monthly Pass, Mo Mo Da~)
Emma listened to Li Manrui's words, so she had to ask the man to look at the menu posted on the glass plate and order.
The man didn't seem to know what to eat for a long time, and seemed to be dazzled by all kinds of different names, especially when there were five or six different kinds of beef noodles.
"Do you prefer spicy food or not?"
Li Manrui saw that he looked at the menu for a long time and didn't decide what to order, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Either way......... Give me the cheapest bowl first!" The man hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind.
"Uh, what about the taste? beef, chicken, or seafood?"
Li Manrui looked at this person through the glass window, he didn't look like a homeless man at all from the way he was dressed, although he wore a pair of glasses, he was definitely not the kind of business man who sat in the office all year round.
"Braised beef?" The foreigner outside pointed to the menu on the glass word by word.
"Okay, a bowl of braised beef noodles, original~" Li Manrui shouted loudly towards the kitchen inside.
"That's great!" Emma watched Li Manrui's series of operations and couldn't help but give her mother-in-law a thumbs up.
"Come right away~" Lin Zitan replied inside, and the other two masters were looking for the takeaway list that Didi had brought in to cook, so the restaurant was handed over to him.
Mix the salad, boil the noodles, sprinkle the seasoning net evenly, scoop the cut half of the egg with a spoon, and swing a few vegetable leaves verdantly upward.
A large spoonful of beef bone broth is poured up, and the bell rings, and it takes less than 5 minutes to add "Ding Dong ~" before and after.
If it weren't for the fact that the person was going to eat it here, it would come out of the pot faster so as not to mush it during the delivery.
"A bowl of original braised beef noodles is ready~" Lin Zitan shouted at his wife and mother outside.
Emma heard the voice and hurriedly walked over, this was the first time she had served such a dine-in guest, and she was still a little excited.
"Let's give him a cup of hot tea!" Lin Zitan confessed before Emma turned around.
"Okay~"
Emma packed the noodles in the same take-out box in a bag, spaced a cardboard in the middle to prevent the salad from overheating, took a cup of brewed green tea and put it in a cup with a lid, and walked to the door with the bag in one hand and green tea in the other.
"Sir, your face is ready~" Emma shouted through the isolation window to the guests outside who were filming around with their mobile phones.
The man obviously didn't expect it to be so soon, so he took the takeaway box with a look of surprise on his face, and said thank you when he saw the hot tea.
Through the partition window, Emma could see the man sitting on a stool, holding the bowl in both hands, sniffing it before setting it aside and taking out the fork and eating it carefully.
Emma looked at it for a while, and also thought that this person might be really hungry, and saw him gobbling it up, so she was relieved.
As the orders increased, Emma was busy with everyone after a while, and just ten minutes after taking it, she saw the person knocking on their isolation window again.
"Well, Mary, didn't you say that you should not tip this kind of dine-in? Emma said excitedly when she saw him holding a $20 bill in his hand.
"Silly girl, maybe it's to exchange change with you, let's go and take a look!" Li Manrui said with a smile.
"Uh, well, it's me thinking too much, hehe~" Emma said as she walked over briskly.
"Is there anything else I can do to help you, sir?" asked Emma respectfully.
"I want to try this one, spicy, with beef," the foreigner outside pointed to the menu.
"Pickled pepper beef noodles?uh, okay, do you want it to be big, small, or slightly spicy?" said Emma.
"Xiao La, can I ask for a glass of ice water first?" the guest outside continued.
"Of course it's no problem!A bowl of pickled pepper beef noodles with meat and a little spicy~" Emma shouted like Li Manrui, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile after speaking.
...........................
Then the man paid with his credit card, sat on a stool outside and ate half a bowl, and then he couldn't eat anymore so he wrapped the noodles and salad in his hand and left, and before leaving, he really stuffed a 20 yuan tip from the small window.
"Huh, did he really tip and give so much?" Emma took the money and excitedly showed it to Li Manrui and Lin Zitan.
"What a weirdo!" Li Manrui said with a smile.
What's even stranger is that this person comes over for several days in a row to order instant noodles, from beef to chicken, from seafood to vegetables, and every time he comes over, he eats different flavors of instant noodles.
As the weather got colder and colder, New York City basically lifted the dine-in restrictions, and Emma let the man in to eat.
Before coming in, I disinfected him and took his temperature, until a week later, the person finally stopped and didn't come back!
Just when everyone was about to forget such a person, suddenly someone received a @ on the Twitter registered in their restaurant, which was a review of their restaurant.
Emma went in and looked at the man's tweet, which was the only one recently, and it was in the background of their instant noodle shop and their meal.
The foreigner who came over to eat for a week was not the same, and he also took a selfie with a thumbs up against the backdrop of one of the bowls of noodles.
The content is: "The king of instant noodles, delicious, fast, clean and hygienic!"
Don't look at just a few words, but the fans below are crazy likes, many people ask for the address of their store, Emma hurriedly asked Lin Zitan to come and see after reading it.
Lin Zitan took a closer look, this person's Twitter fans turned out to be millions, and then looked at the introduction, he turned out to be a food critic, who used to be a food column writer in the New York Times, and now he has become a freelance food critic for food!
"It looks like I'm going to have to stock up more tomorrow!" Lin Zitan said with a grin after reading this tweet.
"It's a food critic?haha, that's great, I'll just say our instant noodles are delicious!" Emma said with a smile waving her phone excitedly.
"It seems that the other branches are going to speed up the renovation, or the pressure on our small shop is too great!" Lin Zi rubbed his hands.
Sure enough, the next day, the number of people who came to their small shop to order food was almost full, and there was usually a few minutes of business in between, and this day was simply busy from opening to closing.
The people who order the food are like crazy, and there is a feeling that they won't be able to eat tomorrow if they don't eat today!
Of course, the people who order food are basically foreigners, and the Chinese feel strange when they hear that this is a restaurant that makes instant noodles, what is delicious about this instant noodles, and if you want to eat it, you can go to the Chinese supermarket to buy a few buckets and soak it at home!
In fact, not only do Chinese people not understand foreigners, but foreigners don't understand Chinese people, they don't understand why they didn't find such delicious noodles before?!
Of course, there are also many foreigners who think they are smart and really go to Chinatown to buy noodles and eat them at home according to the method taught by the video, but even if they learn step by step, the taste is always wrong, as if something is missing.
Go back to the forest and ask them to eat, forget it, it's still the taste of the instant noodle shop!
In fact, when it comes to authenticity, authentic instant noodles are still boiled water with sausages, and at most a poached egg! But foreigners don't understand! After they are used to eating Lin Zitan's instant noodles, they feel that only this taste is authentic!
Just like the kale chicken, kale beef, Zuozong chicken and sweet and spicy chicken they order in Chinese restaurants all day long, they slowly have a fixed impression in their minds! This is the effect that Lin Zitan wants to achieve!
