Chapter 165: A Delicate Lunch
In the splendid Huadu International Hotel, the gorgeous lights sprinkled the luxurious marble floor with a layer of colorful luster, and under the leadership of the receptionist wearing a dress and a bow tie, the two walked towards the hotel's private room for two.
Along the way, the seats were mostly empty, and occasionally a few people were eating, also dressed in luxurious clothes and whispering.
Although it was not the first time to come to this kind of place, Zhou Jian still felt quite fresh, and inevitably looked around, such as the European-style strokes hanging on the hardcover oak wall, which seemed to paint Mount Olympus in Greek mythology, the splendid palace, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and the twelve gods who lived happily in it.
The young hostess couldn't help but glance back at Zhou Jian, seeing Zhou Jian's face full of freshness, he secretly said in his heart Do these two students know how much a meal here is, don't you can't afford to pay at that time, right?
Of course, he can't ask this kind of words, some luxury hotels can't enter without a phone reservation, but Huadu International Hotel doesn't have regulations in this regard, just say that those who are not neatly dressed are not allowed to enter, but it is not said that those who don't wear famous brands are not allowed to enter, so at some point, there are indeed some people who don't want to eat come in to visit, and then don't spend a lot of money and go out of the boring people.
The young hostess patiently led the two into the private room.
Seeing the name of the private room on the door, Zhou Jian was slightly stunned, and it was written there "Love World".
Turning her head to look at Li, it was obvious that she didn't recognize the words on the door, but even if she did, it didn't matter.
The hostess opened the door and made a gesture of please.
The private room is carpeted, soothing music flows, and the snow-white tablecloth is lined with silver cutlery and candlesticks, and the goose-yellow light gives it a very warm feeling.
Seeing this, Li also felt extremely fresh, this world was too different from the original world she was in.
After the two of them sat down, the hostess couldn't wait to hand over two hardcover menus, what he thought at this time was, the two children's shoes, please hurry up and see the price of the dishes, don't for a long time.
"Leave, you can order whatever you like, and you can order whichever is pleasing to the eye when you look at the picture." Zhou Jian saw that there was no meaning to turn over the recipe, so he said.
"I can do it all......"
Li's answer was as he expected, Zhou Jian shook his head helplessly, flipped through for a while, and picked a few things that he had often heard of, but had hardly eaten, "I want a Maine lobster, a Caspian caviar, and two deep-sea cod burgers...... Another filet mignon, huh...... And this Spanish ...... Belch...... Spanish Iberian Oak Fruit Black Hoof Ham ...... "Zhou Jian was extremely speechless, this name is really verbose, a typical Chongyang charming, isn't it a roast pork leg?
After such a string, the waiter was a little dizzy, and he didn't see that he was really rich in silver, the lobster steak was cheaper, what Caspian caviar, Iberian ham, and a few bites of these two things were his monthly salary.
"Alright, let's do that first." Zhou Jian closes the recipe.
After the food was ready, the waiter carefully put on the knife and fork, and then dimmed the light, under the glow of the trance candle flame, the delicate appearance seemed to become hazy for a while, and in the real illusion, it added a mysterious beauty.
Zhou Jian was stunned unconsciously, as the old saying goes, this scene should only exist in the sky, maybe that's it...... She wanted to move the tableware, but when she was about to do it, she found that the master was looking at her, so she slowly put down the hand that raised half of it, gently put it on her lap, and waited quietly to meet Zhou Jian's gaze.
This action naturally fell in Zhou Jian's eyes, he realized the gaffe, and quickly withdrew his gaze, "That, eat." ”
"Hmmm......"
Zhou Jian picked up the knife and fork, "Can you use this kind of tableware?" ”
"Hmm." In the world of gods and demons, the tableware she uses is very simple, that is, the dagger she uses in battle, which has something in common with a table knife.
Zhou Jian took a cod burger, took a bite, it tasted good, and at this time, looking at the food on the table, she didn't know how to start for a while, she had never eaten it, and she had never seen such food.
In the world of gods and demons, there are only two kinds of food to eat, one is planted millet, and the other is demonic beast meat, and only a few kinds of demonic beasts can be eaten, and the taste is terrible.
The general way to cook Warcraft meat is to roast, because the tribe is far away from the salt mine, and the way back and forth is very dangerous, so the salt is very precious, and the amount that can be used when roasting meat is very small, and the meat that is generally roasted has no other taste except for a fishy smell.
At this point, each serving is exquisite, with knife-sliced filet mignon drizzled with black pepper sauce, carefully posed Maine lobster looking more like a work of art than food, and black caviar served on a heart-shaped plate decorated with carved decorations that looks like a handful of black pearls.
"Why don't you eat it? Taste this. Zhou Jian picked up a piece of Spanish Iberian oak fruit black hoof ham and put it on Li's plate, Li glanced at Zhou Jian, and then followed his example to pick up the ham slices with a fork, which looked like raw meat, but the fresh color looked like beautiful jade, long, thin slices, the same as paper.
Handed it to her mouth, took a careful bite, and was a little stunned for a while, she had never eaten such a delicious thing, it should be said that she never thought that there was such a delicious thing in the world, the rich aroma, the smooth and tender taste, and the sweet taste in the chewing, she really couldn't imagine that this was a piece of meat.
"Is it delicious?" Zhou Jian asked.
"Well, it's delicious."
"It's delicious." Zhou Jian turned his head and beckoned to the waiter, "Waiter, this Spanish ...... Belch...... Spanish pork knuckle, let's have some more. He wanted to call out the full name of this Spanish Iberian oak fruit black hoof ham, but he was too tongue-twisting to remember for a while, so he had to replace it with a popular expression.
The waiter almost fell to the ground, which was an insult...... To make this Iberian oak fruit black hoof ham, you need to select the pork leg of the Iberian black hoof pig, after many processes, it took nearly two years of fermentation to make, its preciousness is more than the Italian Parma crown ham, a kilogram can be sold in the market for 500 euros, it is actually called pork knuckle.
You really can't afford to hurt this rich man of Nima.
"By the way, can you come up with something real? Cut so long and thin, like a knife to cut noodles, how can people eat it? It's all pork knuckle, our country's Dongpo knuckle can be sold whole, and foreign pork knuckle should be sliced and sold? Seeing that the ham had bottomed out after just a few slices, Zhou Jian couldn't help but complain.
The waiter was completely petrified, and how many years did the Iberian ham master practice knife skills to cut such a thin slice of ham as a cicada's wing, and it was actually said to be a knife-cut noodles, which made those ham masters embarrassed.
There's no way, what rich people do is fan, wearing flower pants to enter a five-star hotel is a fan, squatting in front of a food stall to eat hairy eggs is also a fan, and now Iberian ham is eaten as Dongpo elbow or fan, what can you do?
There is no way, who let us be the service staff, he had to explain in a good voice: "Iberian salted ham is eaten like this, if you think it is less, you can ask for more?" ”
"Hmm...... Then let's have another half a catty. Zhou Jian estimated the amount of food, and said, these foreign meals taste good, but most of them are flashy, not to mention that even if you can't eat them, you can take them away.
"Half ...... Half a catty? The waiter looked at Zhou Jian blankly, and didn't realize what the word half a catty meant for a while. It's like when everyone goes to buy pearls, everyone sells them one by one, and this one comes up and slaps the table, "Boss, come here for half a catty of pearls!" ”
He cautiously explained, "That...... Dear guests, our Iberian ham is not sold by the pound......"
Zhou Jian glanced at the waiter speechlessly, "Big brother, then you can have a few more portions and make up half a catty, won't it be over?" I'll teach you this. ”
"Yes, that's what you said." I have to say that the service attitude of the quasi-six-star hotel is really first-class, and the poor waiter resisted the urge to vomit blood, and ran to the kitchen to make up "half a catty" of Iberian ham for Zhou Jian.
…… Zhou Jian is also the first time to eat such a luxurious delicacy, he constantly introduces various foods to Li, but he knows very little about these expensive foreign meals, at most he only knows that caviar is the caviar of sturgeon, filet mignon is the tenderloin of cattle and so on.
Seeing that Zhou Jian said a few mistakes, the waiter seemed to want to interject, but was glared at by Zhou Jian fiercely, and the poor waiter swallowed back as soon as a sentence came to his mouth, so he had to be silent.
It was the first time in her life that she had eaten such a sumptuous food, and such a colorful taste made her little tongue, which had long been accustomed to the bland taste, a little overwhelmed.
"How's this?"
"It's delicious."
"Where's this?"
"It's delicious, too."
When Zhou Jian cut a steak for Lili again, Lia couldn't stand it anymore, she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her mouth, she remembered Zhou Jian's advice: When someone else is there, you can't call the master.
She really couldn't get used to the title of Brother Jian, she turned her head and glanced at the waiter, this time the waiter was very clever, and quickly retreated.
"Master......" said only two words, but did not continue.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Jian asked without raising his head while cutting the steak.
"I ......" Lili wanted to say something, but her blue-white pupils seemed to be at a loss when she was about to speak, and finally she just whispered, "I don't know." ”
"Don't know?" Zhou Jian stopped the knife in his hand and raised his head in amazement, "What don't you know?" ”
"......" was stunned, as if he wanted to say something but didn't know how to speak.
