CH.244 The Price of the Dish
Mervyn put down the spoon contentedly, he had never eaten such a delicious meal before, and the satisfaction from the heart made his whole body fly. But when it came time to pay, he was entangled, and the money in his wallet, when it was full, was only 20 euros.
This duck breast with cherry honey sauce is definitely worth 20 euros...... No, in a slightly more formal restaurant, you won't get it for 20 euros.
After calling Zheng Ke over, Mervyn held 20 euros and fell into a tangle.
"Do you still have any money in your hand?" asked Zheng Ke.
"No ......," Mervyn's face was hot.
"That's ...... If you think the dish is worth 10 euros, you can take 10 euros. If you don't think it's worth it, then you pay what you think is reasonable. Zheng Ke said.
Mervyn looked up at Zheng Ke with a look of astonishment, "10 euros?"
"I've already said before, I'm in charge of what you cook, and you decide how much you spend. Zheng Ke said softly.
"No, no...... Of course I didn't mean that...... I think 10 euros...... No, even if I pay 40 euros, I think it's worth it, but I don't have that much money on me. Otherwise, the 20 euros ......" Mervin hurriedly gave Zheng Ke all the money in his wallet.
"Not really. Zheng Ke shook his head, "You still have to take a ride when you go back." If you think it's worth it, just give 10 euros. ”
Value ...... Of course it's worth it!" Mervyn nodded again and again, and immediately handed the 10 euros to Zheng Ke.
Zheng Ke took the 10 euros with both hands and bowed slightly, "I hope you are satisfied with this dish." ”
Mervyn hurriedly stood up and bowed slightly, "I should say this sentence, thank you very much." ”
Zheng Ke returned to the kitchen, handed 10 euros to Absolun, and said confidently: "This is my income today." ”
"Ha?10 euro, please, what are your materials...... No, it's more than 10 euros for the broth! What do you think? It's a loss-making business. Absolon complained.
The broth used by Zheng Ke is beef bone broth, which does not require him to spend four or five hours boiling, and the spices used in it, such as beef bones, thyme, rosemary, bay leaves, and oregano leaves, are a lot of expenses. In addition, ingredients such as duck breast, red wine, and hard candy are used, and the purchase of these ingredients alone is far more than 10 euros.
In other words, Zheng Ke will definitely lose money.
"Don't worry, if I leave, I can't add a loophole, how much money I owe, I'll pay you back. Zheng Ke said with a smile.
"Huh...... You're really rich. Absolon pursed his lips with a mocking tone in his words.
"Haha, it's okay...... I can still afford this little money. Zheng Ke laughed.
Absolon pursed his lips and shook his head feebly.
He wanted to teach Zheng Ke a good lesson, but what Zheng Ke said was the truth.
At the-blue last year, Zheng Ke got a feeless bonus, and at the qualifying round at the beginning of the year, he got another sum of money, plus Zheng Ke also has some small industries in Japan. In general, Zheng Ke has no money, such as buying a high-end restaurant in Paris in a short period of time, but he really doesn't have to worry about the general expenses.
What's more, this money was earned by Zheng Ke himself, unlike Absolon, who had been spending his family's money in the past few years, until the last half a year, independent portal.
After dinner, Mervyn left the "quiet country", took out his mobile phone from his pocket, clicked on Twitter, and found that many people had left him a message.
Most people were curious about Zheng Ke's dishes and said they wanted to try them, but some people questioned them, such as the "style of food" and said that this dish must be inconsistent, otherwise Mervin would not have been silent for so long.
Hehe.
For this kind of person, Mervyn doesn't feel it's worth fighting back.
However, it was also because of his quick hands that Zheng Ke was involved, and he felt that he had an obligation to correct Zheng Ke's name, so he immediately @gourmet wind and fought back.
"I just finished eating the duck breast with cherry honey sauce, how can I say it? It's very delicious, although I haven't tried the dishes cooked by the Lanji students, but I think this dish is no worse than the dishes cooked by the Lanji students. ”
"Then blow. I haven't tried it, so I dare to say that Lanji's students are not as good as him, and he really likes to brag. The "wind of food" did not show weakness and immediately fought back.
"Mr. Zheng is cooking in the 'Land of Tranquility', if you don't believe me, you can come over tomorrow and try it yourself. Mo Wen didn't want to talk nonsense with these people, so he directly told Zheng Ke's restaurant.
"Oh, did you see it, I only ate one meal, and I started advertising Zheng Ke. "The Wind of Food" scoffed.
"First, Mr. Zheng's cooking skills don't need me to advertise; second, Mr. Zheng only makes 10 dishes a day, do you think I will advertise it? I will come again tomorrow, as for you...... Love doesn't come. It may also be that by the time you come, Mr. Zheng will already be off work. ”
After these words, Mervyn put away his phone.
Since there is no common language with these people, then don't talk nonsense with them.
This is the truest thought in Mervyn's heart.
However, what he didn't expect was that when he came to the "Land of Tranquility" the next day, he had already found five people sitting in their seats, waiting for Zheng Ke to cook the dishes, and two or three of these people were people who opposed his views. The blonde boy who was "gourmet in the wind" was also sitting by the window, and when he saw Mervyn coming in, he smiled slightly, but the smile on his face was very embarrassing.
"I just came here to try it. ”
Mo Wen didn't have the same knowledge as him, so he called a waiter and asked for Zheng Ke's tenth dish.
"It's delicious!"
A brown-haired young man let out an exclamation after taking a bite of Zheng Ke's steak of Willington.
"How is it? compared to the students of Lanji?" "The Wind of Food" hurriedly asked the person who spoke.
In order to verify his opinion, he deliberately found someone who had tried the dishes of the Lanji students and asked him to compare them.
"It's not as good as ...... It's not as good as ......" The brown-haired young man's cheeks were crimson, and his eyes showed a misty color.
Hearing this, "Food Wind" glanced at Merwen proudly, "Did you hear it?"
Mervyn bit his lip, his brows furrowed, and just as he wanted to refute, the brown-haired boy continued: "Those students in Lanji can't make dishes of this level at all...... It's really delicious!"
When Mervyn heard this, a smile appeared on his stiff face again, "I'm sorry, it seems that your judgment is not very reliable." ”
"The wind of food" gritted his teeth and didn't say a word for a long time.
The next day's ten dishes were sold out early, which Zheng Ke did not expect, but most of these customers were students, so he couldn't make much money, and the ten dishes were only sold for three or four hundred euros.
Things were sold too much, but not as much money as expected, much to Absolon's dissatisfaction.
"How about 100 euros a dish in the future?" Absolon was a little anxious.
Zheng Ke rolled his eyes at Absolon, I'm afraid only he could think of this method.
"Don't worry, it's just getting started...... I think it will definitely be very profitable in the future. The most important thing now is to bring in guests, right?" Zheng Ke comforted Absolon, then stretched and walked towards the lounge.
