Chapter 170: Slap in the face
"Appetite is so good?" Lin Yueying looked at Zhang Fan with a smile in her eyes.
"Of course you have to eat more. Zhang Fan picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and then picked up a wine glass with red wine and invited Lin Yueqing.
'Ding~' The two clinked glasses with a smile and looked at each other and smiled. It's all in plain sight.
Originally, it was a perfect dinner, and according to the normal idea, the two of them should go back to the hotel together and have a cup of coffee or something. Or maybe after drinking coffee, you can do some more physical and mental exercises.
It's just that when the two of them were ready to check out and leave to go to the hotel. was stopped by a chef wearing a tall hat.
The chef is blonde and blue-eyed, with a burly build. His face was full of confidence, but when he came to Zhang Fan's table, there was anger in his eyes.
"Dear sir, you must not insult my cooking. My cooking skills have been passed down from generation to generation. My great-great-grandfather used to be an aristocratic chef. Even the nobles are full of praise for our family's ancestral cooking!"
After a pause, without waiting for Zhang Fan to speak, the confident chef continued, "All the best foie gras in our restaurant come from the Bordeaux area. Absolutely fresh by air. And all of them are top-quality foie gras made by perfusion and rearing methods. I don't know what Mr. is referring to when he says that the sauce tastes bad and the foie gras material is not good?"
Zhang Fan glanced at the waiter not far away, and it seemed that he had heard it before and ran to tell the chef.
Chefs in high-end restaurants like this are of high status, especially those who are famous. The boss has to be coaxed, after all, they have excellent skills and a big reputation, and they are rushing to go to any high-end Western restaurant, which is definitely a hot item.
After hearing Zhang Fan say that the materials were not good, the waiter thought about it and informed the chef. The so-called shopkeeper bullying customers is talking about this.
In fact, they also look at people, Zhang Fan and Lin Yueying are just stars, and they subconsciously feel like they are bullying. If it were the rich, would they dare?
After the chef finished speaking, Zhang Fan raised his hand and knocked on the table with a calm face, "This time, the applesauce tastes a little less unique aromatic and sweet, and it feels a little greasy." Obviously, it was left for a while after it was done, and it was not really fresh. The stuff in your store isn't what you say it's ready-made. ”
Whether something is fresh or not, it seems that it cannot be tasted for a short time. But after Zhang Fan bought all the knowledge of French food, the taste of fresh or not had completely reflected in his mind. Just take a bite and you can feel it completely.
Whether the things in a high-end restaurant are fresh or not is entirely a matter of brand. Even a gap of just one hour is enough to reduce the reputation of the store!
For catering, word of mouth is life. This is especially true in the high-end dining industry.
It's like a roadside food stall using gutter oil is known to everyone, will the ghost go again?
Although gutter oil is not used in high-end restaurants, the principle is the same.
The chef, who was still imposing and wanted to ask Zhang Fan for an explanation, instantly changed color. He opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't say anything. It can be seen that this so-called freshly made applesauce was really left for a while before being served.
Zhang Fan didn't wait for him to explain something, raised his hand and pointed to the foie gras that he had only eaten one bite before, "When I ordered, I specially asked you to bring the best foie gras from your store." Mr. Chef, can you see for yourself where Black Treasure is?"
As soon as Zhang Fan said Heibao, the chef was completely silent. The look on his face also changed from begging to being embarrassed.
The main ingredient of foie gras, fatty foie gras, is roughly in the Bordeaux region of southwestern France. It's definitely a gastronomic mecca in Europe. In addition to foie gras, the region is also home to another well-known gastronomic seasoning, truffles.
Truffles, also known as lumps of mushrooms. In the really high-quality fat liver, this kind of black treasure must be added to be considered a real authentic product. Zhang Fan had already said that he wanted authentic goods, but there were no truffles. Nature is not the best.
It's not a casual roadside stall, so it doesn't matter if you add a little more. The fees here are so expensive, it is natural to have the corresponding quality of service and high-end meals. The slightest deficiency will make the guests dissatisfied, and the chef will come out to ask the teacher for guilt, but in the end he will bring shame on himself.
This kind of thing can be big or small, and if you talk about roadside stalls, you can just add a plate of edamame. But for high-end restaurants that rely on fame to eat, they must not be careless. The consumption here is completely expensive. Guests can not care about the price, but they will definitely not care about the quality!
These chefs are spoiled and think they are very good and dare to talk to customers. But now that the talk is not successful, he will be slapped in the face, and the next thing can only be the manager to come forward and wipe his ass.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm very sorry for this incident. Under the playful gaze of many guests in the restaurant, the restaurant manager came up to apologize to Zhang Fan and gave a VIP card, "In order to express our apology, this is a little bit of our heart." ”
Zhang Fan took the VIP card from the manager, and his face was calm, "Didn't you see that we were two people?"
"Oh. The manager's face was full of apologies, but in his heart he was already despising Zhang Fande.
This VIP card is a status symbol, with discounts and access to any restaurant chain in the world at any time. It's easy to get.
It's just that at this time, as the party who is at fault, he has no choice but to admit his bad luck, and at the same time, he scolded the stupid chef in his heart, "We also want to give Miss Lin a VIP card." ”
When leaving the restaurant, Zhang Fan looked sideways at Lin Yueying on the side, and asked with a smile, "I have something stuck to my face, why do you keep looking at me?"
"How come you even know these things?" Lin Yueying's face was full of bright smiles, and she raised her hand and shook the VIP card in her hand, "Do you know how difficult it is to get this VIP card? Our company is so large, only the boss has one." ”
"I know astronomy and geography. There's nothing I won't. Zhang Fan proudly raised his hand and hugged Lin Yueying's shoulder, "As for the VIP card, there is nothing in this world that money can't solve." If anything, it's just not enough money. Their ultimate goal is to make money. ”
The VIP card sounds very high-end, but in fact, it is just a kind of hunger marketing used by restaurants to improve their style.
The restaurant takes advantage of people's vanity to set up VIP cards, and whoever has the card will have face. It's such a simple way of vanity that can bring a huge amount of revenue to a restaurant. And it can also make guests flock to it, which is definitely to give full play to the advantages of psychology.
In fact, no matter how high-end it may seem, a restaurant is always just a restaurant.
It's like a chef who feels good about himself, no matter how high-end and high-end they are in their eyes, but they are still just chefs.
On weekdays, when I encounter picky guests and bully guests, I come up to ask for something to say about the market inside. Is it true that they don't know? It's not because they bullied the guests that they don't understand!
There are so many people who come to the restaurant to eat every day, and there will definitely be no fewer complaints. Why do you have to come to Zhang Fan's trouble? Isn't it because the restaurant knows that Zhang Fan and Lin Yueying are celebrities and thinks it is easy to deal with. In other words, it is the complaint of the rich people, it is estimated that the manager has come out to apologize early, where is there a chef who dares to come to find things?
In the final analysis, this kind of so-called high-end restaurant is just a matter of watching people serve their food. It's just that I didn't expect to kick Zhang Fan's alloy steel plate this time, and I hit a dirty face.
"Where are you going now?" After getting in the car, Lin Yueying looked at Zhang Fan with a smile.
Although it is already late at night, the colorful nightlife for nocturnal animals has just begun.
Under the bright and brilliant neon lights, there is the nightlife that makes countless people excited.
Zhang Fan put his hands on the steering wheel and looked at Lin Yueying with a strange expression, "I heard that the night view of Victoria Bay is very beautiful, why don't we go and have a look?"
"Good. Lin Yueying didn't hesitate, and nodded directly.
At this time, when you go back to the hotel, you can either read magazines and watch TV, or you can sleep and rest. For Lin Yueying, who rarely had the opportunity to be alone with Zhang Fan, she didn't want to go back so early.
It's just that when the car slowly drove towards the top of Taiping Mountain, Lin Yueying's face gradually became ruddy.
The reputation of the Taiping Peak is very large, and Lin Yueying has certainly heard of it.
This time, this place. There's no way not to think about it.
If you don't want to, you can bring it up and leave at this time. It's just that Lin Yueying pursed the corners of her mouth and didn't say a word, just turned her flushed face to the window and pretended to be looking at the scenery.
Zhang Fan is not a junior brother who doesn't understand anything. On the contrary, he has a lot of experience.
I was still a little apprehensive before, but after seeing Lin Yueying's reaction, I instantly understood. This beautiful woman next to her already acquiesced in her heart!
Zhang Fan felt that a fire was gradually burning in his heart. The corners of Zhang Fan's mouth hooked up a smug smile, and the speed of the car, which was originally a little slow and slow, was instantly raised, as if he couldn't wait to reach his destination.
Lin Yueying also felt the change in the aura of the man beside her, and the flush on her face deepened even more.
The area of the prosperous area of Xiangjiang is not large, and this journey will naturally not be too far. It didn't take much time, and the car came to the top of Victoria Peak smoothly.
As on other days, it was already full of cars of all kinds. The doors of each car were locked, the windows were closed, and many cars were shaking.
As a woman, after coming to this kind of place, Lin Yueying couldn't do anything except hold the handbag in her hand tightly. Then it can only be done by Zhang Fan.
Fortunately, Zhang Fan at this time is no longer the time when he suppressed himself for a long time before, and the incident in the early morning has dissipated a lot of the anger in his heart.
After parking the car, Zhang Fan chatted with Lin Yueying casually, and then lowered the window and lit a cigarette to enjoy the beautiful night view of Victoria Bay for a while. After Lin Yueying's nervousness had cleared up a lot, Zhang Fan stretched out his hand to the woman beside him.
And then......
Zhang Fan's phone rang.
