NA0521 Contradiction?
Xiao Jing Zhai's Thunder Pavilion, Toms and Qian Musong from the Michelin-starred restaurant jury team are complimenting Xiao Jing Zhai.
Especially Team Leader Toms, he even gave Xiao Jingzhai the top honor of a three-star Michelin restaurant!
At the beginning, the official Michelin rating of the three-star restaurant was that it was worth a trip dedicated to it!
However, as the criteria for judging Michelin-starred restaurants have declined, this distinction has gradually been stripped away, and it no longer directly represents three-Michelin restaurants, but only for the best restaurants in three-Michelin stars.
For example, the Michelin-starred restaurant of the neon sushi god won this honor.
Now Thomas only tasted the steamed osmanthus fish, and then gave the honor crown to Xiao Jingzhai, which is enough to show that Xiao Jingzhai's steamed osmanthus fish brought Toms a taste impact!
Looking at Toms, who was a little confused, Cai Peng reminded Toms again, "Mr. Toms, I have to remind you that Xiao Jingzhai's appointment is very difficult, and we made an appointment for Xiao Jingzhai 99 times before it finally succeeded. ”
Speaking of this, Cai Peng added, "In addition, I don't think that the person who makes an appointment 99 times next time will still be favored by Xiao Jingzhai." ”
Thomas seemed to finally remember the difficulty of Xiao Jingzhai's appointment, and he sighed and said, "Oh! God! You don't say I forgot, Xiao Jingzhai's appointment difficulty is a nightmare!"
Qian Musong agreed, "It's really too difficult to make an appointment! We can ask how to make an appointment more easily later." ”
When everyone finished eating the steamed osmanthus fish, waited for nearly three minutes, Dong Ping came in with the service staff again, and when the service staff served the food, Dong Ping introduced, "The second dish is sweet and sour carp, in view of the carp with spines, please taste it carefully." ”
After finishing speaking, Dong Ping was ready to exit the Thunder Pavilion box.
Tom hurriedly beckoned, "Store Manager Dong, please wait a moment." ”
Dong Ping stopped and looked at Toms suspiciously, "Hello, do you have any questions?"
"We want to ask, how can we make it easier to make an appointment for your little meditation?" Thomas asked bluntly.
Dong Ping didn't mean to hide it, anyway, Xiao Jingzhai's appointment process was also a semi-open secret.
"Because we are a private restaurant with members' reservations, we are more inclined to accept reservations from members. For example, if there is an appointment from a Gu's member and a temporary appointment, we will definitely prefer to accept the member's reservation. Dong Ping explained.
"If both are Gu members' appointments, we prefer to accept premium members' appointments. Dong Ping added, "If both appointments are for the most senior member, we will refer to the details of the appointments." For example, wedding anniversaries, marriage proposals, confessions, 10-year class reunions and other similar commemorative significance, we will give priority to them. ”
Dong Ping continued, "Of course, there are exceptions. For example, an appointment similar to Mr. Cai Peng's, as well as our boss's friends, and so on. ”
Thomas asked, "How do you get your most senior membership?"
Dong Ping didn't answer this question directly, he looked at Cai Peng and said, "Mr. Cai Peng, I'll send you a link later, which contains a detailed introduction to our Gu members." ”
Speaking of this, Dong Ping added, "Gentlemen, sweet and sour carp is suitable for eating while it is hot, please use it slowly." ”
Thomas didn't ask any more questions, he nodded, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome. After Dong Ping responded, he waited for a while before exiting the Thunder Pavilion box, and then sent a detailed introduction of the Gu member to Cai Peng.
Inside the Thunder Pavilion, Cai Peng and his entourage finished eating sweet and sour carp in three times and dividing five by two.
Thomas recalled, "The sweet and sour cooking technique and proficiency are decent, but the umami of the carp makes up for it, and the overall overall evaluation can be 90 points!"
"I would like to add that the portion of sweet and sour carp is a little too small compared to the generous portion of steamed osmanthus fish. Qian Musong added.
Cai Peng reminded on the side, "Boss Qian, the dishes in this restaurant are all priced according to volume. In addition, the wild fish they provide cannot be asked for in terms of weight and variety, and customers can only choose what they offer. ”
"How much is a pound of carp?" Qian Musong asked curiously.
Cai Peng checked .3 catties, the unit price was 468 yuan a catty, and the price of this dish was 1076 yuan. ”
Qian Musong was slightly stunned, "If it's only the price of 1076 yuan, I need to take back the supplementary evaluation just now, and its weight is already very qualified." At least let me choose between it and the three-onion lobster in the Pavilion, I definitely choose it!"
Toms laughed heartily, "Three shallots and fried lobster cost 1,500 yuan! I will definitely choose sweet and sour carp! By the way, Cai Peng, have you read the relevant information of Gu's members?"
Cai Peng nodded, in fact, Cai Peng had already known about Gu's members, but because the price of Gu's membership was too expensive, he didn't think about making an appointment for Gu's membership at all.
Cai Peng first introduced the level of Gu's membership and the related annual fee before continuing, "If you want to make an appointment for Xiaojingzhai, you can only apply for a black card member. But black card membership is too expensive, unless it is a local consumer in Shengqing and Modu, the cost performance is too low. ”
Qian Musong nodded in agreement, "The annual fee of 100,000 yuan a year is indeed too expensive!"
Thomas also sighed, "This annual fee is really expensive. Let's put aside the things of Gu's members and taste other dishes. ”
Dishes are served one after another, from tomato fillets to salt-and-pepper fish steaks, poached fish balls and more.
Thomas and his party praised as they tasted it.
It was close to one o'clock at noon.
The final dessert was served, the Beishan peach egg tart, and a Beishan peach salad to neutralize the previous oiliness.
Thomas tasted the Beishan peach egg tart, and when he finished eating, he sighed, "It's an incredible feeling! Obviously, the level of the egg tart is very average, but the Beishan peach makes up for the baking defects of the egg tart, and even makes people feel sweet!"
Cai Peng explained on the side, "Beishan peach is also an industry owned by Gu's, and its public selling price is 1,288 yuan a catty, but it still needs Gu's members to buy it." ”
"Xiao Jing Zhai, Si Qing Yuan, Old Things Tea Workshop, plus these members-only things, why do I suddenly feel that it is the right choice to apply for a Gu membership?" Tom said self-deprecatingly.
After laughing at himself, Tom cleared his throat, he glanced around, and said, "Everyone, what do you think about the judging of Xiao Jingzhai?"
Everyone thought about it carefully, and what Thomas meant was to let them have their opinions, so as to preliminarily determine the results of the Michelin-starred restaurant review of Xiao Jing Zhai.
But Xiao Jingzhai's situation was so contradictory that they couldn't make a decision for a while...
