Chapter 84. Native chickens and phoenixes
Yindu Jianguo Hotel, Western Food】
As one of the largest hotels in the southern metropolis, the western restaurant here is the most formal, but because it is too formal, the business has not been very good.
The reason is that many people are not used to eating Western food, let alone drinking red wine, and the guests who come here can drink a cup of coffee or order a pizza.
Therefore, the turnover of Western restaurants has always been a loss and a loss, and the waiters of those Western restaurants have been idle to fight flies until Lin Yi and his gang arrived.
Mr. Qin and the two girls are obviously veterans of Western food, and it can be seen from the content of their ordering, their proficiency in dù, and the subtleties of picky eating, that these people are authentic "foodies", what steak wants authentic tenderloin from the United States, black pepper wants to be native to Latin America, and cardamom powder is imported from Northern Europe......
Lin Yi didn't know why they asked for this, maybe eating like this would be more tasteful and stylish.
The steak came up, the wine came up.
Mr. Qin and the two girls chewed slowly, and the girls who were originally giggling became Western-style ladies, and when they ate the steak, they gently cut it with a knife, and then pierced it with a fork, sent it into a small mouth of cherries, and chewed it slowly.
Mr. Qin was very satisfied with the appearance of the two girls, took a napkin from time to time, touched his mouth like those tycoons in the movie, and then politely signaled Lin Yi and Cao Yidao with his eyes - "Please enjoy".
Lin Yi and Cao Yidao are indeed trying to "enjoy".
Ping Pong, Cao Yidao's knife and fork always disobediently collide with the plate containing the steak, making a crisp sound, knowing that he is eating Western food, but not knowing that he thinks he is fighting.
Lin Yi is better than him, but he is also very jerky, and his use of knives and forks is clumsy and stupid.
He can't cut the steak lightly, he cuts it very finely, very evenly, he can't skillfully tie it up with a fork and put it in his mouth with an elegant posture, and sometimes, the steak tied by the fork will even fall halfway down and fall on the table......
Lin Yi and Cao Yidao's appearance naturally caused the two girls to snicker, Mr. Qin didn't laugh, but he didn't stop the people around him from laughing, he watched the excitement comfortably on the side.
After a while, the two girls stopped laughing, but they kept talking to Mr. Qin in Shanghainese, they spoke very fast, and they spoke in dialects, Lin Yi and Cao Yidao couldn't understand it like listening to alien languages.
It took a lot of effort to eat more than half of the steak on the plate, Lao Cao leaned into Lin Yi's ear, frowned and muttered: "Grass, what are they talking about, are they laughing at us?" To be honest, it's not that we haven't eaten this Western food, but it's not as awkward as today...... If you want me to say, what is delicious about this steak, it is not as delicious as the pig's head meat, and it costs 388 yuan for one serving...... Lin Yi, eat more, anyway, this Shanghainese pays the bill! By the way, there is also that bottle of red wine-" Lao Cao secretly pointed to the bottle of cognac, "A bottle of more than a thousand, you should also drink more, you should rinse your mouth-"
"Alas!" Lin Yi sighed.
used to be idle, he liked to read some novels, many novels have scenes of eating Western food and steak, in such a high-end occasion, the protagonist often slaps his face and pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, Lin Yi feels very cool.
But now, Lin Yishuang can't get up. He finally understood, no matter how hard he tried to pretend, he couldn't pretend to be naturally elegant, he couldn't pretend to be proficient in Western food, and he couldn't pretend to be superior in his bones.
Shanghai and Nandu.
Thousands of miles apart.
The people of Shanghai and Nandu, in their bones, are also thousands of miles apart.
Shanghainese grew up eating McDonald's.
Nandu people grew up drinking Hu spicy soup.
If you don't want to admit it, you can't do it, from the bottom up, you are much worse than the other party, Su zhì, knowledge, and different visions, which ultimately determines that you are a local chicken, not a phoenix.
Cao Yidao is such a local chicken, and it is a bald local chicken with his head buried in the steak and dry.
Lin Yi too, he tried hard to insert the phoenix's feathers on himself, but found that he became more earthy with the feathers.
Rather than being laughed at, it is better to be above board, so Lin Yi beckoned to the waiter: "Waiter, come to the garlic!" ”
……
Lin Yi tied the steak with a fork, ate a bite of the steak, took a bite of garlic, and ate very highly.
The aroma of the steak and the spicy garlic are mixed together to create a delicious taste that stimulates the appetite.
Looking at Lin Yi, Mr. Qin and the two girls widened their eyes, surprised, disdainful, and a little puzzled.
Cao Yidao wrapped a napkin, held a knife and fork, and looked at Lin Yi with a drooling mouth, he felt that Lin Yi's appearance was very funny and ridiculous, how could he eat Western food like this.
Looking back at myself, I think it's even funnier, since I quit breastfeeding, it seems that I haven't wrapped a napkin in more than 30 years......
"Waiter, let's have a ball of garlic!" Lao Cao shouted loudly.
……
This is the end of a rich Western meal.
It can be seen that Mr. Qin is very satisfied, and the two girls next to him are also satisfied. Especially when I saw Lin Yi and Cao Yidao turning eating Western food into eating barbecue, that kind of satisfaction Cheng dù was even higher.
seemed to know that his eating appearance just now was a little embarrassing, Lin Yi chatted with Mr. Qin for a few words and said: "It's too late, I know what Mr. Qin's purpose is for coming this time, but let's wait until tomorrow, I will go to my residence tomorrow to have a look, I can't let you run in vain." ”
Mr. Qin was also very polite, "That's fine, after driving for a day, my back hurts, and I'll have a party with Mr. Lin tomorrow." Well, when the time comes, you have to take out all your treasures, as long as it is the new Republic of China, I am interested. ”
Lin Yi nodded and left very politely.
Mr. Qin sat down again, and with his hand wearing a famous watch, he took out a box of special Chinese products from his pocket, knocked a few times, pulled out one, and elegantly sandwiched it between his fingers.
The girl with the stud earrings cleverly pulled out a lighter, snapped it crisply, and skillfully lit it for him.
Mr. Qin leaned back in the chair and squinted, took a leisurely puff, spit it out, and then said to the two girls, "Is it interesting, this meal?" ”
"It's quite interesting, look at the ...... they eat."
"Especially when I eat steak and bite garlic, I'm about to die of laughter." Two girls drinking lemonade and giggling.
Qin Zhong Qin also smiled, and the sullen breath that had been running for thousands of miles finally came out.
"Check out!" Mr. Qin said chicly.
The two girls raised their hands and motioned for the waiter to pay.
Then the waiter came over and said politely, "Excuse me, sir, your order has already been settled." ”
"It's over?" Mr. Qin paused.
The two girls are also a little unclear.
Who would pay for such an expensive Western meal?
Then the waiter handed the bill and a note sandwiched in the bill to Mr. Qin.
Mr. Qin first looked at the bill, totaling 2,800 yuan, which was noted below as having been settled.
When I opened the folded note, it was a letter.
Hello, Mr. Qin.
I bought this order before I said hello to you, and I ask you not to be surprised.
To be honest, I feel very painful to buy this order, after all, 2800 a meal, for a small person like me, it is unimaginable. Maybe you don't believe it, half a year ago, I was still a jobless vagrant, and I only had 10 yuan in my pocket, but now I have 2800 yuan as soon as I make a move.
Saying this, it's not complaining about anything, after all, you are a guest from afar, whether you are a multimillionaire or a billionaire, you are a guest when you come here, since you are a guest, how can there be a reason to let the guest settle the bill, as the owner, I can't erase this face.
I am from Nandu, and Nandu is a hospitable city, and we welcome all those who come here, including you and your friends. I know it's a little difficult for you to get here from Shanghai in one day, and that's not what I intended, I didn't really want to sell those books from the beginning, it was Lao Cao who contacted you with his own cleverness, but since the matter has come to this, I can't say anything more, everyone is here, let's communicate with each other-
In the end, there were some things I didn't want to say, but seeing that you were eating with relish, I didn't notice it at all, and I still couldn't help but say: The American beef you just ate was actually pulled from the Sanliqiao Meat Market, the black pepper is native to the nearby village, and the cardamom powder is wholesaled by the Wang Damiang grain and oil store next door......
There was a "flutter", but it was the earring girl who was drinking water next to her who looked at the letter and squirted out a mouthful of water.
Three, you look at me, I look at you.
Expression, quirky.
