Chapter 56: Etiquette of Western Food

Out of this store, Jin Suxi stroked his chest and let out a big breath of turbidity, Chen Zhiping hurriedly said: "Sister Suxi, it's all my fault, I shouldn't have taken you into this store." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Originally, I saw that there were more people in this store, but I didn't expect me to be wrong. I haven't been able to eat yet, so let's go find a better restaurant. ”

Jin Suxi hurriedly said: "Zhiping, you can't be blamed for this. And you've been defending me a lot just now, and I know that. But just now I saw that the shopkeeper was beaten by you and couldn't find the north, I felt very relieved, you are too domineering! ”

Chen Zhiping touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "Really? How did I not find out? ”

Jin Suxi looked at Chen Zhiping affectionately and said: "In short, by your side, I feel very secure, even if the sky falls, I am not afraid." ”

Chen Zhiping was heartbroken by her tender gaze, and hurriedly avoided her gaze, and said softly: "Sister Suxi, this is what I should do." I'm a man, men want to protect women, right? ”

Jin Suxi bit her red lip and said faintly: "Then can you protect me for the rest of my life?" ”

Chen Zhiping was sweating profusely, oh my God, what does this mean? Is she really interested in me? Chen Zhiping didn't know how to answer, and both of them fell silent for a while.

Suddenly, Jin Suxi's stomach gurgled, and she said very embarrassedly: "Zhiping, I'm hungry, why don't I take you to eat Western food, I just don't know if you like it or not?" ”

Chen Zhiping nodded and said, "I like it!" Which Western restaurant are you talking about? ”

Jin Suxi said: "It's the Rose Valley Western Restaurant, you should know, right?" ”

Chen Zhiping smiled: "I know where it is, so I'll drive!" ”

Jin Suxi nodded, and the two of them got into the car and drove towards the most famous Rose Valley Western restaurant in Yindu.

Speaking of which, in a small place like Yindu, there are indeed very few Western restaurants, about no more than ten, after all, the consumption of Western food is much higher than that of Chinese food, and ordinary people will not come to this kind of place to eat. Of course, after many years, with the improvement of people's consumption level, there will be more Western restaurants.

Chen Zhiping found a place, parked the car, and walked into this Rose Valley Western restaurant side by side with Kim Suxi.

The service of this kind of high-end restaurant environment is really very different from those roadside restaurants, as soon as you enter the restaurant, a waiter comes forward and greets them warmly in standard Mandarin, Kim So-hee's mood suddenly improves, and her smile makes the waiter stunned, making the waiter think, why don't you have such good luck? Because he could see that this beauty had an elegant temperament and was dressed in high-end clothes, and the young man, who was afraid that he was younger than himself, was dressed very ordinary, so he thought that Chen Zhiping had climbed the high branch and became a little white face.

However, the waiter is still professionally trained, and does not put these things on his face, he still serves with a professional smile. Putting the recipe in front of Kim So-hee, the waiter asked in Mandarin, "Miss, this is our recipe, do you need me to recommend our special dishes for you?" ”

Kim So Hee smiled: "No need, let's order it ourselves." Well, just two grilled steaks, medium rare, two salads, a café cheesecake, well, a bottle of French wine bar, that's all. ”

The waiter wrote down the dishes and said, "Okay, wait a minute, you two!" ”

Chen Zhiping also knew that these Western foods were very expensive, just that bottle of red wine was worth more than 500, but he knew that this was nothing to Kim So-hee, and it was nothing to him, you must know that he is also a millionaire now.

Jin Suxi looked at Chen Zhiping affectionately and said, "Zhiping, I don't know if you like the dish I just ordered, let alone if you have eaten Western food." ”

Chen Zhiping smiled bitterly: "Sister Suxi, do you think I am a person who can afford to eat Western food?" The price on the menu just now scared me so much that I didn't dare to look at it, a steak costs more than 80, which is equivalent to half a month's salary, and the bottle of red wine, which costs more than 500, that is, some workers who have worked for ten years, the monthly salary is only three or four hundred, which is not enough to buy a bottle of red wine. ”

Jin Suxi covered her mouth and smiled: "Zhiping, you just pretend!" Aren't you also a millionaire now? I think you should improve your taste. For example, if you become a boss in the future, you will inevitably have to deal with many people, and Western food etiquette must be understood. ”

Chen Zhiping nodded and said, "That's the truth." Then today I will learn from Sister Su Xi, please give me advice. ”

Jin Suxi chuckled: "Okay, for the sake of your sincerity, I will teach you for free, sister." ”

After speaking, Kim So-hee became very serious: "First of all, dress neatly and decently, even if there is no suit and leather shoes, men should wear a jacket, a shirt and clean leather shoes when they go to high-end Western restaurants." If it's a formal occasion to dine with a foreign client, a suit and tie are a must. Then the sitting posture should be upright and not stiff After sitting, if it is a chair with a back, do not lean your back on it, stand up with your waist, chest up, and your upper body naturally straight. Place your hands on your legs, not on the table with your hands on your cheeks or elbows, and put your feet together in a natural straight or slightly inclined position. ”

Chen Zhiping actually understood these Western food etiquette for a long time, but now he can only pretend to be a person who doesn't understand anything, and while doing what Kim So-hee just said, he smiled bitterly: "Oh, it's really troublesome to eat Western food." ”

Kim So-hee smiled: "Of course it's not easy, and when you eat, there are many details to pay attention to." When using a knife and fork to eat, take the knife and fork from the outside to the inside, holding the fork in your left hand and the knife in your right hand; When cutting something, hold the food with a fork in your left hand, and hold a knife in your right hand to cut it into small pieces and use a fork to put it in your mouth. When using a knife, the blade should not be facing outward. When putting down the knife and fork during the meal, it should be arranged in a figure-eight shape and placed on the side of the plate. The blade is facing you, indicating that you will continue to eat. After each dish, place the knife and fork together on a plate. If it's a conversation, you can hold a knife and fork without putting it down. When not using a knife, you can hold the fork in your right hand, but if you need to make a gesture, you should put down the knife and fork, never wave and shake in the air with a knife or fork in your hand, and do not hold a knife or fork in one hand and wipe your mouth with a napkin in the other, and do not hold a wine glass in one hand and a fork in the other. Remember, at no time should you put one end of your knife and fork on the plate and the other end on the table. ”

Chen Zhiping sighed and said: "There are so many rules, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember them for a while, but I can't embarrass you!" ”

Jin Suxi smiled: "Don't worry, take your time, there will be more opportunities to eat Western food in the future, and I will guide you slowly." You can look at me later, such as don't sip when you drink soup, and keep your mouth shut and chew when you eat. Don't lick your lips or smack your lips to make a sound. If the soup is too hot, wait until it is slightly cooler before eating, and do not blow it with your mouth. When drinking soup, use a spoon to scoop from the inside out, and when the soup in the soup plate is almost finished, use your left hand to slightly lift the outside of the soup plate and scoop it clean with a spoon. When you finish eating the soup, leave the spoon in the soup plate with the spoon handle pointing towards you. ”

At this moment, the waiter came over with a large plate, and there was a bottle of red wine on the plate, and after the waiter laid the dishes, he said in professional language: "Please use it slowly, please feel free to call me if you need anything, I am willing to serve you." ”

After saying that, the waiter retreated, but Chen Zhiping saw the waiter peeking at Kim So-hee. Think about it, a big beauty like Kim So-hee should be the focus of men's attention wherever she goes, but he can eat with such a beauty, oh no, after staying in Danfeng Garden in the future, you can even see her every day and eat with her.

It's just that when Chen Zhiping thinks of his girlfriend Xia Xiaomo, he feels a little sorry for her. He could see that Kim So-hee already had a strong liking for him, and even liked him. And he is not a wooden man, how can he not be tempted at all in the face of a beautiful woman like Kim So-hee, who is cultivated and rich?
