Chapter Ninety-Four: Contrasts
Twenty minutes later.
Just as Lei Lei and the three girls were teasing Li Xue and Li Ming, Chef Amor walked back again.
This time, he was followed by five well-dressed food deliverers.
Like an old European aristocrat, Amor came to Li Ming's side with elegant steps, and said proudly to Li Ming: "Dear Li, try the dishes I made for you with my own hands." ”
As he spoke, the first waiter placed two plates of foie gras on the table.
"It smells so good."
In the exclamation of Li Xue's four daughters, Chef Amor introduced Li Ming with a little smugly: "Authentic French foie gras, I have studied authentic French cuisine for eight years with the world's first chef and the only seven-star chef in Michelin, Chef Ramsay, and my work is this authentic French foie gras, please taste it." ”
Without waiting for the knife and fork to move, just smelling the smell, Li Ming's salivary glands went out of control.
After the first waiter went down, the second waiter walked over to the table and placed two servings of white truffle salmon on the table.
Amor said proudly: "White truffle salmon, this is the first time I participated in the French New Chef Competition after I graduated from the school, and won the first prize. ”
Hearing Amor's explanation, Li Xue and Lei Lei had already picked up the knife and fork, if it weren't for the dishes in the back, the four of them would have started to scramble.
After the second servant went down, the third waiter went to the table and placed a 500-gram caviar on the table.
Amor said with some regret: "Lee, you are so lucky, this is the last Caspian sturgeon caviar." ”
In fact, what is so special about caviar, Li Ming doesn't know at all, he only knows that this thing is expensive to death, it just so happened that Amor was here, Li Ming asked curiously: "Brother, why is the caviar of this sturgeon so expensive." ”
Lei Lei didn't know the price, looked at the caviar and asked curiously, "Is this thing very expensive?" ”
Li Ming said with a smile: "Such a caviar costs nearly 30,000 yuan. ”
"Ah, it's so expensive." Lei Lei said in surprise.
Without waiting for Li Ming to speak, Li Xue turned the menu to the caviar page, pointed it out to the third girl, and said, "Twenty-eight thousand." ”
The three girls were completely stunned when they saw the prices on the menu.
Amor was very satisfied with the expressions of Li Ming's friends, and explained to Li Ming with a smile: "Because this caviar is so rare, their rarity is far higher than that of white truffles.
At the very least, truffles can be harvested once a year, while it takes 30 years for a sturgeon to spawn from birth. ”
Hearing Amor's words, Li Ming was also surprised, and asked with wide eyes, "You mean to say that it will take thirty years for this sturgeon to spawn?" ”
Amor nodded, and said with concern: "Yes, so this thing is too rare, and the five Caspian countries just issued a statement at the same time this morning, because the sturgeon has become an endangered species, and the sturgeon will no longer be fished in the next five years, so the sturgeon caviar in front of you is not that Amor doesn't want to invite you to eat more, but there is only this one left." ”
Looking at the lost Amor, Li Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Amor, thank you so much." ”
"Li, you are my brother, you don't need to be polite to me."
Shaking his head, Amor put the sentimentality aside and continued to introduce other dishes to Li Ming.
It wasn't until the sixteenth dish came up that Amor looked even more smug.
"Li, this is my unique craft, honey rose scorpion, I saw that you brought your girlfriend over, I specially prepared it for her, I have to say, Li, you are so discerning, such a beautiful girl has been chased by you, I am really jealous."
As he spoke, the chubby Amor bowed elegantly to Li Xueyi.
"Beautiful young lady, let me introduce you to this honey-glazed rose poison carp, which is the dish I won the first prize in the Tiannan Provincial Chef Competition last year."
Li Xue hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, and said shyly: "Thank you." ”
Amor pointed to this dish and said proudly: "This rose scorpion is a highly poisonous fish in the deep sea, just a drop of venom can kill people, but his meat is also the most perfect fish, which can be described as a delicacy in the cuisine, and with my unique honey, this delicacy has been sublimated."
At the same time, eating more rose scorpion can also make the skin fairer and smoother, of course, beautiful lady, your skin is already perfect, you can eat it as a delicacy. ”
Amor's words made Li Xue shy.
Seeing that all the dishes had been introduced, Amor bowed slightly proudly again and said to Li Ming, "Please taste." ”
Li Ming unconsciously puffed up his palms and said to Amor: "Brother, your dish is not only a dish, but a precious work of art. ”
"Thank you for the compliment." Amor said proudly.
Li Ming wanted to invite Amor to sit down and eat together, but before he could speak, a chef walked over quickly and said to Amor: "Master, the guests in the province are very satisfied with your dishes and want to ask you to come over and explain." ”
Hearing this, Amor shrugged his shoulders at Li Ming and said, "Li, I'm going to get busy." ”
Li Ming nodded and said, "Okay, you are busy first, and we will talk when we have time." ”
Amor nodded, bowed gracefully to Li Xue and the four women, and left.
Seeing Amor deliberately playing elegant, Li Mingyin smiled and shook his head, he was fat like this, how could he be elegant.
However, even if the chubby Amor looks funny, when I think about the name of this chef, it still makes people feel that he is still very good. Forced look.
Returning to his seat with a smile, Li Ming said to Li Xue and the others: "Come on, let's eat." ”
After speaking, Li Ming picked up the knife and fork and was about to stretch out his hand, but found that none of them moved by Li Xue, Li Ming raised his head in surprise, looked at everyone and said, "Why don't you eat it." ”
Li Xue and the others' hearts are now like an angry sea, and no one thought that an ordinary meal would be made in the hands of other people's executive chefs, and they would be able to say so much exquisiteness.
Moreover, every dish is okay and looks good. Forced look.
Li Xue said to Li Ming in surprise: "Brother Li Ming, how did you know this chef." ”
Lei Lei also hurriedly said: "Yes, Brother Li Ming, and he also invited you to such an expensive meal." ”
Tongtong also asked curiously: "These are the chef's best dishes, and they are all award-winning dishes." ”
Qingqing finally added: "The most important thing is that the chef seems to be very stammering with you, Brother Li Ming." ”
Looking at the surprised little appearance of the four people, Li Ming put down the knife and fork, and said with a smile: "There are some business dealings, this chef owes me a great favor, and in terms of business, this chef has asked me for help in many places." ”
Hearing this, the four of them were even more surprised, they had heard Wang Peng say before that the chef's annual salary was millions, and he also participated in the hotel's year-end dividends. forced characters, there are still many places that require Li Ming, Li Xue and the four daughters only feel that Li Ming is too powerful.
Looking at the time on his watch, he felt that the red wine in the decanter was ready to drink, Li Ming said with a smile while pouring wine for Li Xue and others: "Don't be embarrassed to feel that these things were invited by Amor, you know, he invited me to eat this meal, and the benefits he obtained were ten times more than this." ”
Hearing this, the four girls were even more surprised.
After pouring wine for the four of them, Li Ming saw that Chang Fei and Wang Peng had been stunned and too lazy to bother with the two losers, so Li Ming poured a glass of red wine for the two of them.
Raising his glass, Li Ming said, "Come, let's toast to this meal." ”
Lei Lei and the three girls looked at the red wine in the cup and suddenly became excited, and what they drank in their hands was 40,000 bottles of red wine.
The moment the glasses are clinked, the crimson wine flows in the glass, and through the dim light, it makes people feel even more dizzying.
Seeing that Li Ming had already drunk all the red wine, the third girl no longer hesitated, and drank the red wine in the cup excitedly.
"Wow, 40,000 yuan of money wine, it tastes different."
"yes, yes, it's delicious."
Listening to the cheers of Lei Lei's three daughters, Li Ming smiled on his face, picked up the wine decanter, and continued to pour wine for everyone, it was Wang Peng and Chang Fei's turn, Li Ming found that the two did not drink.
Looking at the embarrassed expressions of the two, Li Ming sneered in his heart, but on the surface, Li Ming said more enthusiastically: "Chang Fei, and Wang Peng, you two are welcome, I'm sorry for this meal, I didn't let you two invite you, next time, let you two treat you next time." ”
Hearing Li Ming's words, Wang Peng and Chang Fei were even more embarrassed, with Li Ming, a pearl and jade, in front of them, where would they dare to come out and offer ugliness.
The two of them had already roughly calculated just now, the meal that Li Ming invited to eat was worth at least 70,000 yuan, so much money, the two of them couldn't take it out at all, let alone the next treat, even if it was a treat next year, the two of them would not have the money to treat them to such an expensive thing.
However, the two were unwilling to fail like this, slapped their swollen faces and became fat, Chang Fei stubbornly said: "Okay, okay, we will have a treat next time." ”
As they spoke, Chang Fei and Wang Peng drank the red wine in their glasses.
For a moment, the two only felt that this wine was really delicious, looking at the food on the table, the two were even more excited, and with a sense of revenge, the two used knives and forks together, and joined the ranks of snatching the food.
