Chapter 39
As soon as he heard the word "Mr. Li", the corner of No. 3's mouth smiled slightly: "It's okay to call me Mr. Li, and it's okay to call No. 3." ”
"In front of others, let's call you Mr. Li. What was your original name? I asked curiously.
"The name is just a symbol, as long as it feels good, remember it, you can call it anything. Of course, it would be nice to be nice! No. 3 also explained why he sat in the lobby today: "Today and Saturday, there are many guests in the hotel, and all the private rooms are fully booked. I asked the secretary to book a few days in advance, but I still didn't get it, so I'm sorry for you. ”
"Sitting in the lobby is wronged? In fact, the private room is not interesting, the last time there was such a large round table, just the two of us to eat, what a waste. "I actually prefer the lobby, where people come and go, and I don't sit in a private room like last time, and I can only look out the window in a daze.
"It's good if you don't care." Number Three picked up the magazine: "You order, whatever you want." ”
I picked up the recipe on the table, flipped through it, and I broke out in a cold sweat as soon as I saw the cold dishes...... Why is it so expensive, even if it is a plate of sugar lotus, it costs 28 yuan, it is too expensive, right? My God, sweet and sour pork ribs cost 48 yuan, and 48 yuan of pork ribs can be bought for two catties and half a pot.
The waiter stood next to me with a pen and paper and saw me flipping through the recipes.
It's not that there are no dishes to order, there are all the dishes in this recipe, but the problem is that it is too expensive, and no matter which dish you order, it feels like a crime.
"Why don't you watch it first, and I'll come back when it's decided." The waiter said very politely, but in fact, he was impatient to wait, and there were other things at the table.
No. 3 seemed to notice it and put down the magazine: "Bring the recipe, I'll order it." ”
I handed over the recipe that I didn't know how many times I had flipped through, and I saw that No. 3 opened it and pointed to it: "This, this, one for the pigeon, cut into quarters...... Hot dishes want this, this, is there any good seafood? ”
The waiter felt that No. 3 was still refreshing, and quickly replied: "There is Boston lobster today, you can eat three times, sashimi, stir-fry, and seafood rice." There are also crabs and elephant trunk mussels. There are also Jiwei shrimp and treasure fish...... "will do business, after the introduction of the expensive ones, and then introduce a few cheaper ones, so that people will not be able to save face, and order a rushing table."
"Get a lobster, about two catties, don't sashimi, just bake the butter cheese and serve it with noodles. For dim sum, there is a wine-stuffed ball, and the dish is served as much as possible. Number Three folded the recipe and handed it to the waiter.
The waiter said "yes" and trotted away.
Can you not run, in such an expensive place, two catties of lobster, there must be more than two catties, if it is four hundred and eighty-eight and one catties, it will be thousands. Well, the price of this meal is another month's salary for me.
After a while, four cold dishes came up first, and a chef-like man with a tall white hat came over with a net bag, and in the green net pocket was the lobster with teeth and claws.
"Please, is this all right?"
I looked: "How? ”
"Two pounds and three taels." The waiter replied with a smile.
"Really?" I stood up and took out a sharp tool from my bag that I had brought with me when selling vegetables - a simple scale: "Bring a plastic bag, I'll weigh it." ”
The smile on the waiter's face suddenly condensed, and he stammered for a while: "This way, the water may leak a little ......"
"Really? Then please go to the scales again, and a few drops of water will be worth seventy or eighty yuan. I sat down again.
"Okay, this is the way to go." The waiter and the cook immediately flashed and went to weigh the lobster.
I muttered softly: "What two catties and three taels, I know at a glance, at most two catties and two taels, the usual trick of selling seafood, the weight is falsely reported." ”
No. 3 pinched the magazine, read the qiē in front of him, and turned to continue reading, but the corners of his mouth were pursed.
After a while, the waiter came and put the lobster in a plastic bag: "Miss, it's weighed, and the water is re-weighed, and even the water in its stomach has been thrown out by me, two catties and one half, I don't believe you scale." ”
The water in the stomach is thrown out, and this lobster feeling is a belly of water, a parallel import.
I stretched out my hand and smashed the side of the crust on the big tongs of the lobster, which was a difficult technical job, and I was afraid of being caught by the lobster tongs. Throw half of the chela on the table: "No need to scale, go burn." ”
The waiter knew that he had touched the top and walked away with the lobster.
"Others take it whole, but you only break it in half, it's more economical, tired, right?" No. 3 finally seemed to want to talk for a while, and looked at the half of the lobster claws on the table, as well as the small circular structure with a convenient scale with a retractor under it: "You have been carrying this thing with you?" ”
"Oh, this one has long been broken." I pulled demonstratively, and the hook was loose. Then put it back in the bag: "There are fair scales in the vegetable market, but on the road outside the vegetable market, sometimes the food is very good, but the short catties are very strict, so it is scareless." ”
"Obviously, today you helped me scare back more than fifty yuan." Number Three is still quite humorous.
"It's the most I've scared back." I always feel a little stingy after I finish speaking, but this is all money, even if there is more money on the third number, it shouldn't be cut inexplicably, right? Well, probably just a hair, not even a skin.
No. 3 seemed to hold back a smile and picked up the chopsticks: "Eat." ”
Hot dishes also began to come up, and the third was a magazine that was put aside and eaten while reading.
I looked at it from afar, and the book was all in English. I actually read the original English version.,It's amazing.。
When No. 3 finished flipping, he saw that I was looking at him, so he asked, "Do you want to see it?" ”
I shook my head: "I only know Chinese." ”
"You should learn a foreign language, and the more you know a language, the more opportunities you have." No. 3 moved the book to the side and ate a mouthful of food: "It's okay if you don't understand, it took a lot of effort to learn, and if you can't use it, you will forget it." If you have time, it's better to learn something else, which is more casual. Fitness, yoga, flower arrangement, musical instruments, etc. ”
Hearing this, I was itching, and said stupidly: "Actually, it's really good to learn this." ”
"If you like it, you can learn." No. 3 glanced at me: "The card given to you, just swipe it, men make money for women to spend." ”
Ah~~~ I'm about to be fascinated...... The calm tone, but the words are too good and temperamental, they are simply handsome! This is called a man, and my heart is soft.
It took a while to stabilize, and my voice was almost like a mosquito: "Then you can't spend it indiscriminately, and it's not easy to see how you make money." ”
No. 3 "heh" a laugh, I don't know whether it is praise or ridicule: "But you have to think, if you don't spend, why do I make so much money?" ”
Oh~~~~ Tears are about to be moved, where is such a man a man, he is simply a male god, and he is a peerless good man that all women dream of having!
