Chapter Twenty-Four: This Broken Western Food

The most famous French restaurant in Dongyuan City is not too close to where they are now. After all, this is a downtown area, and to eat Western food, you have to pay attention to the environment, and it is definitely not a wise choice to open a Western restaurant in this kind of downtown area. Think about it, no one wants to hear the sound of car horns from the street in a very romantic, charming, and elegant dining atmosphere, right?

Since Xue Tingting agreed with this proposal, Jiang Wen, who was a sworn friend, naturally couldn't say what she couldn't say, and after looking at Qu Zhiheng, she said, "Okay, let's go eat Western food." ”

With a ratio of three to one, can you still say that you can't go? Qu Zhiheng had nothing to say, so the four of them stopped a taxi, explained the place, and went straight away.

About twenty minutes later, the taxi stopped, Qu Zhiheng paid the bill and looked at the green western restaurant in front of him, just the very creative green decoration at the door, it gives people a feeling of being very close to nature, plus the name, it can be imagined, the atmosphere inside will definitely be great.

"Here we are, let's get in quickly. Xue Tingting was the first to say that for her, it was a good thing for her to have someone to dinner. She doesn't care who pays the bill.

After saying this, Xue Tingting pulled Jiang Wen and pushed the door and walked in. Qu Zhiheng paid for the car in the back and quietly pulled Lin Yaxin's clothes that were left behind.

"What are you doing?" Lin Yaxin turned around and asked in a low voice.

"Well, you said you wanted to invite me to dinner, but don't blame me for not telling you, the things here are very expensive. Qu Zhiheng said with some embarrassment and blushing.

Although Qu Zhiheng's family conditions are not bad, he has never eaten Western food. First, I am not accustomed to eating Western food, and secondly, eating Western food pays attention to the atmosphere, and it is generally a favorite place for young men and women to fall in love. And he and Jiang Wen eat together, Jiang Wen will never let him go to a place where consumption is expensive, let alone this kind of place.

"Don't worry, I'll still be invited. Lin Yaxin smiled generously.

"One more thing. Qu Zhi said in the period of Ai Ai.

Lin Yaxin couldn't help but urge: "Can you finish talking once? What time is it? Seeing so many cars parked outside this door, I don't know if there are seats anymore no matter how late it is." Her worries are not unfounded, and business has always been good, especially on weekends like this, which is usually described as hot. And now, there are a lot of cars parked outside the greenery, and I don't know if there is a place inside.

"That, I... I... I haven't eaten Western food yet, so remember to remind me what to do. Qu Zhiheng said in a low voice.

I thought that Lin Yaxin would laugh at herself when she heard this, but Lin Yaxin just said lightly: "You are so stupid, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?"

After speaking, Lin Yaxin also followed into the green restaurant, Qu Zhiheng was right to think about it, and followed Lin Yaxin into the green restaurant. As expected, the interior decoration is also based on green, but it is worth mentioning that the tables and chairs inside are assembled with logs, although I know that they are fake, but they look like the real thing. Especially with the green carpet under your feet and the blue sky overhead, it gives you a feeling of returning to nature.

Jiang Wen and Xue Tingting in front had already walked to the stairs on the second floor under the guidance of the waiter, and Lin Yaxin and Qu Zhiheng also followed closely.

At a four-seater table, the waiter stopped and pulled the chairs to seat them. After the four of them sat down, the waiter handed the recipe to Qu Zhiheng, and Qu Zhiheng took it, only to see that the recipe was marked with various beautiful patterns with soft sheepskin, which was particularly elegant and exquisite.

"Why are you so gorgeous when you break the recipe?" Qu Zhiheng muttered in his heart. He didn't know that the more luxurious the Western restaurant, the more luxurious the recipe. Recipes are regarded as the face of Western restaurants, and Western restaurant owners have always attached great importance to using the best materials to make the cover of the recipes to highlight the luxury of their restaurants.

Fortunately, the recipe has French and Chinese characters on it, Qu Zhiheng watched it for a long time, and he didn't know what to eat, but it seems that he should order steak when eating Western food, right? Just as he was about to open his mouth to order a steak, Xue Tingting always unceremoniously snatched the recipe, and said: "Real ink, I'll order it." ”

However, when she took the recipe, she was dumbfounded, with a dazzling array of soups, staple foods, non-staple foods, and desserts. She didn't know what to order.

Jiang Wen saw that Xue Tingting was a little embarrassed, took the recipe and said, "I'll order it, will we serve the dishes one by one according to the rules of Western food, or simply eat a little?"

Although these words were said to the three of them, their eyes were obviously looking at Lin Yaxin.

Lin Yaxin said: "Forget it, that's too troublesome, and it's too late." Or order a steak, vegetable salad and dessert. By the way, a bottle of wine. Let's have a drink. ”

Hearing Lin Yaxin say this, Jiang Wen nodded and said to herself: "Foie gras is a famous product of French cuisine, I have to order it, bring me another chicken liver steak, dessert, ice cream." ”

With the first person to order, the rest of the people will be fast, because of Jiang Wen's words, all four people ordered foie gras. As for Lin Yaxin's proposal to have a glass of wine, the three of them didn't have any opinions, but they didn't order any wine, it seemed that they wanted Lin Yaxin to order it.

"Well, is there a Patus here?" asked Lin Yaxin to the waiter who was standing beside her.

Hearing Lin Yaxin's words, the waiter's eyes obviously flashed with surprise, but he still nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"Alright, give us Patus. Lin Yaxin ordered a bottle of Patus.

The prestige of this wine lies in the fact that the chΓ’teau is the first of the eight famous wineries in the Bordeaux region, and it is the best quality and most expensive wine king in Bordeaux at present, and it has the style of a king. The price is about more than RMB 10,000 per bottle.

Qu Zhiheng and Xue Tingting naturally didn't know the price of this wine, otherwise, they would definitely be shocked. Jiang Wen on the side didn't show anything. Like the two of them, they don't seem to know the price of the wine.

Soon, the waiter brought in Patus and their order. In front of each of them, there were four cups, one large, one medium, one small, and one elongated. Qu Zhiheng picked up a wine glass and was about to pour wine, Jiang Wen, who was sitting next to him, touched him lightly and said, "I took it wrong, the small glass is for white wine, and the medium cup is for red wine." The large glass is for drinking, and the elongated glass is for champagne. ”

When Qu Zhiheng heard this, he put down the small cup slightly embarrassed and picked up the medium cup. Who made him a man, and couldn't let the three of them women pour a bar?

Qu Zhiheng did not admit his mistake this time and added red wine to everyone's glasses. was about to take a sip from the wine glass, but was stopped by Lin Yaxin: "Wait first, this wine hasn't woken up yet." ”

Since red wine is said to be a living liquid, it is because red wine contains tannic acid, which is very rich in changes caused by contact with air. The best way to tell the difference between a bottle of wine is to pour 2 glasses for the first time after opening the bottle, and then drink one glass first, and then leave the other glass until the end. The change time of each bottle of wine is different, and how to discover the vitality of wine depends on your own feelings and experience.

Lin Yaxin can stop Qu Zhiheng, and obviously she is very experienced in this area. Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, Lin Yaxin picked up the wine glass and sniffed it on the tip of her delicate nose, and said, "You can drink it." ”

Jiang Wen also took a sip of the wine glass, but shook her head and said, "This wine is too long." ”

Wine doesn't just get older and better. After the peak of wine aging, only the situation deteriorates, just like the beauty has a twilight time, and then gradually becomes old and yellow, and enters a period of degradation. Therefore, wine also needs to be drunk at the right time to taste its peak flavors.

Lin Yaxin said approvingly: "Yes, it seems that the Patus in this restaurant is not very popular. ”

Qu Zhiheng and Xue Tingting were like watching a performance, because the two of them also drank this Patus, but they couldn't drink any special taste.

With this lesson of pouring wine, Qu Zhiheng knew how troublesome it was to eat Western food, and he didn't dare to move casually, just following Jiang Wen and Lin Yaxin's example. Still, he knew that he had a knife in his left hand and a fork in his right hand. This time, Qu Zhiheng can be regarded as having a long experience, and he has also been instilled by Jiang Wen and Lin Yaxin from time to time some rules for eating Western food, such as: when drinking the contents of the cup, you should first swallow the food in your mouth, then put the knife and fork on the plate in a figure-eight shape or cross, and then wipe your lips clean with a napkin, and then drink or drink water.

When drinking, you need to keep your head straight, take a sip of it, and still leave a little wine in the glass when you drink to the end.

When eating, the knife and fork should be placed on both sides of the plate, with the knife and fork head facing inward...................

Although Lin Yaxin and Jiang Wen were instilled in Qu Zhiheng with these common senses, Xue Tingting, who was eating steak unscrupulously, slowly did what the two said.

Finally, after the dessert was finished, the Western meal was finished.

Qu Zhiheng looked around and saw that there were no guests dining anymore, and whispered to the three of them: "This is a broken Western food, I won't come to eat it a second time if I am killed." ”
