Chapter 25: Be prepared

The next class is Mr. Liu's general knowledge class, the so-called general knowledge class, which is a theory class. The content of the teaching is very varied, ranging from the different etiquette habits of different countries to the ordinary titles. This is to make up for the lack of practice. The starting point of the trainees in the training class is not high, and many of the upper class students are not familiar with it, so they have to open a general knowledge course to teach some common sense, so as not to graduate in the future, say and do wrong things, and laugh off their big teeth.

Today I talked about dining etiquette. Shanshan's heart is stunned, and she won't talk about French dinner.

Sure enough, Mr. Liu spoke, "All countries have their own dining etiquette, such as French cuisine, which has a complete set of dining etiquette. Once the diners don't understand, they will be looked down upon. Especially our students, after becoming a seductive girl, some of them have the opportunity to come into contact with the big meals of various countries, and they should know these dining etiquette. ”

When this sentence came out, everyone listened more carefully, and they all took out their notebooks, ready to memorize the key points. Although Shanshan checked the information at noon, she still had to take notes.

"First of all, we have to learn how to order food. A formal French meal, in principle, is served in the order of appetizers, soup, fish, jelly, and mesenchy, followed by barbecue, salad, dessert and coffee. When ordering, you don't need to fill in the bread column; However, when ordering wine, the accompaniment of each dish should be clearly indicated. But as long as we understand this, we will take everyone to a French meal, and we will definitely not ask you to order food. ”

As soon as the words fell, the students all laughed, it seems that Mr. Liu's class is still very popular, and the atmosphere is completely different from the previous class.

Let's talk about the basic manners of dining: First, after eating, wipe your hands and mouth with a napkin and do not wipe it vigorously with a napkin, as long as the corner of the napkin is gently printed off the grease stains on your mouth or fingers.

Second, if you have eaten a main course, after the first course (usually seafood), the waiter will serve you a glass of sorbet, made with juice or champagne, which will not only refresh your mouth, but also help to increase your appetite for the next dish.

Third, no matter how comfortable the stool is, you should sit upright and not lean on the back of the chair. Lean forward slightly and keep your arms close to your body to avoid hitting the fence.

Fourth, eating French food is the same as eating Western food, remember to start with the outermost tableware when using knives and forks, and start from the outside to the inside, don't pounce on the food when you see it, it's too rude. After each dish, place the knives and forks side by side on the plate, with the tines facing up.

Fifth, there are a lot of tableware used in French cuisine, so you should see which ones are yours in advance, and you must not make a mistake about what you use to eat.

But we don't have to worry too much, just look at what the guests on the other side and next to you do. ”

There was another burst of laughter, and everyone listened and memorized it with great interest.

"Now I'm going to ask questions: First, the French habit is that every dish has a different wine pairing. What alcohol to drink before a meal? What kind of alcohol to drink when you eat fish and meat? What alcohol to drink after a meal? Xiuxiu came to answer. ”

Xiuxiu stood up, thought for a while, and replied, "You should drink an aperitif before a meal, eat fish as if you should drink white wine, eat meat and drink red wine, and drink brandy after a meal." "She had a French dinner once, and of course she was impressed. It was a meal that one of her wealthy friends invited her to eat to please her, although the man's fat-headed and big-eared image did not match the French gentleman at all.

"Xiuxiu is right, the wine before and after the meal is different, and the wine pairing of eating fish and meat is also different, let's just not get confused." Xiuxiu looked left and right and sat down under everyone's adoring gaze.

"The second question, the napkin of a French meal is learned, and the position of the beginning and end is different. Excuse me, how do you put the beginning and the end? ”

The students who didn't know Lu Dao buried their heads in it, for fear of being named by Teacher Liu. Shanshan had a bad premonition, because Teacher Liu's eyes had already turned to her, "I heard that there is a new classmate in our class, so I asked this new classmate to answer." ”

The whole class focused on Shanshan, and everyone was looking forward to her performance in the past two days. Of course, Yuan Yuan and the others expected Shanshan to answer, and Xiuxiu hoped that she couldn't answer.

Shansa slowly stood up and replied in a crisp voice, "The French feast begins with the female guest spreading the napkin on her knees and ends with the female guest placing the napkin on the table. ”

"This student is right, you should pay attention to these details when you eat French food in the future, the waiter will help you pull out the chair, and after you sit down, you can spread the napkin on your knees. When you're done, tap your mouth with a napkin and place it on the table to show that you're done eating and it's time to remove the plate. She said as she motioned for Sansa to sit down.

This Teacher Liu is quite kind, and he didn't embarrass Shanshan much, so he let her go. Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief, and was not as proud as Xiuxiu looked around, but quickly sat down. This humble appearance makes the students look much more pleasing to the eye than Xiuxiu's high-spiritedness. However, Teacher Liu asked her questions again, and she was not afraid, because the homework she had just done at noon was called being prepared.

But it's really strange today, how can things be so coincidental, I just had a French dinner here, and I took a general knowledge class of French dinner in the afternoon, which is not so accurate. Shanshan wondered if she was going to have bad luck and good luck.

How can there be such a coincidence in the world, all accidents are inevitable. She didn't know what to say, it was in the morning when Sen was listening to the foot of the wall outside the door, and heard Teacher Liu say that in the afternoon, she was going to take a general knowledge class of French dinner, and she happened to take the new student exam. Otherwise, how could Sen be idle and painful, and specially called to call the French dinner to eat at home.

French food is a kind of atmosphere, a kind of atmosphere, of course, you have to go to a special store to eat to feel it. It's just that the noon time is too rushed, when I get to the hotel, I order again, and I have to eat for at least three hours in the middle to finish it, and when I come back, I don't have to go to the afternoon class. After weighing it repeatedly, Sen had no choice but to order food at home without fear of trouble. This order still relies on the face of his diamond card VIP, otherwise where will the restaurant be willing to deliver.

Shanshan happily ended the two-day course, she was familiar with the teacher and the course, and she was also half-familiar with her classmates, she didn't have to go to class at night, she could finally take a break, review the lessons she had taken, and she would have the bottom of her heart in class tomorrow. And her classmates seem to be slowly accepting her, and Shanshan is optimistic that everything is going well.

She happily said goodbye to her new friends and went back to her third-floor suite.
