Chapter 220 Eating French Food

After buying a swimsuit, according to the agreement, Lu Pingfan wanted to take his sister to eat a better seafood dinner.

There is a saying that remains the same, you get what you pay for. It's actually quite easy to buy delicious food, isn't it just spending money, anyway, now Lu Pingfan has money.

He is gradually regaining the state he was in as a capitalist before he was reborn.

"Do you want to speak French here?" Standing at the door of a French restaurant, Li Xiaotong was a little stunned.

"I'll just say it. Lu Pingfan rubbed his sister's hair, smiled while taking his sister's hand and walked in.

An authentic French restaurant that will give people aristocratic service. As soon as the two of them entered the door, they enjoyed the elegant and warm welcome of the waiter.

French cuisine is a pearl in the entire Western food system.

In the eyes of many people, Western food is very expensive, especially the legendary French food. Then, there will always be people who regard this as a foreign flattery and dismiss it.

In fact, the price of Western food is not because of its "Western" character.

The aristocratic service, the upscale ambience, and the ingredients used to make the dishes are all part of the unique quality of the authentic French steakhouse.

French Western cuisine requires the service staff to be in front of the guest's table, for the guest to carry out the final production process of each dish, whether it is the cutting and setting of appetizers or the grilling, cutting, and division of hot dishes, and the production of dessert crepes after the meal, the production of these dishes must be operated on site.

Imagine how much effort it takes to serve a guest after a meal!

These efforts alone are already expensive, not to mention that the ingredients used in these dishes are also very expensive.

Therefore, the price of Western food is definitely worth the price for those who know how to enjoy it.

As for those restaurants that are not authentic, but indiscriminately raise prices in the name of Western food, they don't know what real Western food is, they are really admiring foreigners.

And those who feel that they are tall after eating Western food once or twice are really flattering to foreigners.

If you have to be serious, Chinese food is really expensive, and you don't believe that there is a table full of Han.

Speaking of which, Li Xiaotong has never eaten real Western food, originally she thought that eating some pizza, eating some steak or pasta or something would be called Western food.

If you insist on being more serious, these things can be regarded as Western food, but this level of Western food is like a foreigner who goes to China to eat pancakes, fruits and cold skins, and it is a truth to say that he has eaten Chinese food.

It wasn't until she was led into the restaurant by her brother and watched the chef who didn't know what level was dancing with knives and guns at her table, and when she was ready, she directly served it in front of herself, that she knew that this was called Western food.

"Brother. Li Xiaotong suddenly stared at his brother sitting opposite him, and said seriously: "Why are you becoming more and more like a capitalist?

"In French, I only order food to pretend to be forced. Lu Pingfan said softly. After all, this is a French restaurant, and there is some etiquette to observed, but he didn't remind his sister.

It's up to her to do whatever her sister wants, after all, they're still customers, they're still gods.

The chef who was concentrating on cooking, seeing that Li Xiaotong didn't understand the etiquette of Western food at all, and the man opposite who seemed to understand didn't remind him, so he could only pout helplessly, and his movements were not too obvious.

Alas, helplessly, people have to bow their heads under the eaves. If it were in France, this kind of people who don't know etiquette would have been blasted out long ago.

Who made this place in China, Chinese people's habit of eating is to be lively, and the more lively the better. It's already good to have Chinese force themselves to cooperate with Western food etiquette without making a loud noise, but it would be a fantasy to let them fully comply.

No matter how much etiquette you have, when you go to China, you have to follow the local customs.

"So, it's actually nothing to eat seafood and drink wine?" Li Xiaotong held the red wine glass, followed the example of his brother, and shook it before drinking the red wine inside.

Lu Pingfan patiently explained: "Eating seafood and drinking beer does increase the risk of gout, but compared with the usual drinking and eating meat, this risk is not necessarily greater.

The root of the risk lies in the seafood, not in the beer, and even more so in the wine we drink. ”

"Can you use chopsticks? When I used to eat steak, I didn't think it was so troublesome to eat this snail. Li Xiaotong said helplessly: "Why don't I use my hands?"

"Whatever you want, it doesn't matter. Lu Pingfan said.

Then Li Xiaotong really got started.

The chef invited by France stared directly at Li Xiaotong with wide eyes. At this time, he was completely helpless, he had seen those who wanted to use chopsticks, but he had never seen those who started directly.

Are you Indian?

Lu Pingfan seemed to notice the chef's gaze, and in order to cooperate with his sister, he simply followed and ate with his hands, and the food was even more exaggerated than his sister's.

At this point, the chef really broke down, if it weren't for the salary.........

"Forget it, there is an old Chinese saying that out of sight is pure. The chef silently comforted himself in his heart, and then lowered his head to concentrate on cooking, not wanting to see the two siblings again.

…………

Not far away, there was also a man and a woman, and the man and woman seemed to have noticed the brother and sister here. They all frowned in unison, and the woman snorted lightly, called the waiter, and asked, "What's the matter with the two people over there?

The waiter was embarrassed for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to remind them." ”

"It's not for you to remind, it's for you to drive them away. The woman emphasized: "I don't know any etiquette, and staying and doing something else still makes me sick to my stomach." ”

"This ........." waiter was in a dilemma.

The man also spoke: "If you want to go, you can go, I will cover their consumption, don't disturb our meal." ”

The waiter finally had to agree, came to Li Xiaotong, and interrupted the meal of the brother and sister......... Let's call it a meal.

Then he relayed the words of the man and woman to the brother and sister.

After hearing this, Lu Pingfan smiled, raised it to the man, signaled, and then drank it all. Then he got up, took the waiter to the table of the man and woman, and asked, "I heard that you know French etiquette very well?"

"Hmph, Tu Baozi, I dare to come in in a school uniform, and I don't know the pocket money that I have liked for a few months, come here to pick up girls, you are quite scheming, but I don't know if the money is enough when you settle the bill for a while. The woman said disdainfully: "While we are not in a bad mood now, get out of here, we will help you settle the account, so as not to make a fool of you for a while." ”

Lu Pingfan looked at the steak in front of the woman, which was cut into many small pieces, he pinched his chin and said: "In the French food etiquette, it is very important that the food should be cut and eaten piece by piece, and it is not possible to cut it into small pieces in advance, and then eat it slowly, which is very impolite." ”

"What did you say?" the woman was a little annoyed.

Lu Pingfan continued: "Also, the small pieces of food on the fork must be eaten at one time, and you can't hold the fork and bite it one by one, which is also very rude."

Tut-tut, look at you, there is still half a piece of beef on the fork that you have bitten, it is really disgusting. ”

"Stinky boy, do you know who I am! The man snapped.

"Who do I care who you are, my eldest brother Hongxing Chen Haonan, I'm afraid of you?" Lu Pingfan also suddenly changed his steadiness just now, and suddenly showed a gangster attitude.

The man was stunned and asked in a daze, "Who is Hongxing Chen Haonan?"

"Causeway Bay is carrying the handle!" Lu Pingfan raised his voice again, but fortunately, there were only two tables of people in the restaurant.

Li Xiaotong was eating, not caring about what was happening over there, and the chef at her table had already accepted his fate and was honestly cooking.

"Causeway Bay is in Hong Kong, you kid is playing me?" the man slapped the table and stood up abruptly.

The waiter who came with Lu Pingfan was scared stupid, and some of the other waiters wanted to stop him, but they were all called back by the manager on duty.

I don't know what the manager explained to the waiters, but they just said a few words, and they didn't see what happened here.

"What's the matter? If you can't make sense, you want to be tough?" Lu Pingfan returned to his previous steady posture and said to the waiter next to him: "I apologize for ruining the etiquette of the restaurant, my sister is really not used to these rules and regulations." ”

"Ah! It's okay! This place was originally for Chinese to experience French cuisine, and etiquette is not as important as in France. The waiter hurriedly explained.

He didn't say half of what he said later, and if it was really so polite, this restaurant wouldn't have to be opened. Because there are very few people who really understand, and those who really understand are all upper-class people, this restaurant is still for ordinary people after all.

The per capita consumption is only one or two thousand, which is expensive, but it is not that expensive.

The people who come here to consume are more people who are the same as the middle-aged men and women in front of them, who know little about Western food and simply come here to pretend to be forced.

It's just that you can pretend to be forced yourself, you have to show off, pretend to be forced to others.

Now it's okay, right? When you meet someone who really knows how to do it, you're slapped in the face, right?

But the waiter didn't dare to say these words, so he could only honestly continue to pretend to be dumb.

The man stared at Lu Pingfan with a cold gaze, and warned: "Stinky boy, you are a foreigner, right? I tell you, the outsider will be honest with me, even if it is a local, you still have to be honest with me in front of me."

Today I tell you to get out, you just get out of here, and then leave Seaside City. Otherwise, let me see you again, and I'll make sure you'll leave Seaside City sideways!"

"I have always believed that our country is a society governed by the rule of law. Lu Pingfan grinned, turned around, and saw that his sister had gobbled up almost all of them, so he turned around and left, without looking at the pair of men and women.
