After listening to English all the way, I finally arrived at the door of the hotel in Suzhou for about two hours.

Zhou Fan carried her backpack and got out of the car in a depressed mood, but ran quickly to the other side of the car and helped Hong Yu's mother open the car door.

Hong Yu's mother didn't speak, knowing that she was in a bad mood, she persuaded her to say it, and whether she could figure it out or not depended on her own consciousness.

"Go in and see, you're hungry!"

Holding Hong Yu's mother's arm, Zhou Fan pushed open the thick glass door and replied, "It's okay, are you tired?" Having been in the car for so long"

"I'm fine, I'm worried about you, is it okay to sit on your legs for a long time?"

Zhou Fan reluctantly smiled and said, "It's okay, the doctor explained that you can't exercise vigorously, how to live everything else."

"Welcome, how many may I ask?" The waiter asked them kindly and gently.

"Two, no, three" Zhou Fan immediately corrected, she forgot that there was also a driver.

The waiter took them to a table by the window, put the menu on the table, and asked them to order.

"Whatever you want to eat, order whatever you want, Auntie has a treat"

Zhou Fan looked at the menu, and then looked at the price of the dishes in the back, it was very expensive, a stir-fried mushroom with green vegetables, it cost 7 and 20 yuan to grab money. Doesn't the Price Bureau check?

"Stir-fried clams, steamed fish, sizzling tofu, and whitebait egg soup"

Zhou Fan closed the menu and put the menu on the table, she was in charge, she didn't need to order anymore, anyway, she had no money.

"You also order a few dishes, what is the difference between the dishes in Suzhou and Shanghai?"

Hong Yu's mother saw that she didn't order it, did she have nothing to eat, and she was still embarrassed to order.

"Three dishes and one soup, the three of us, enough, order too much and can't finish it, it's a waste"

Zhou Fan looked at her and asked the waiter who was memorizing the menu, "Are there any local specialties in Suzhou?" ”

"You are from Shanghai, and there are three white fish in Taihu Lake, white fish, white shrimp, silver fish, and hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake, but there are also crabs in Taihu Lake, and the taste is also good."

The waiter introduced it colorfully, Zhou Fan took the opportunity to look at the restaurant, it seemed that no one had come to eat, and now it was a meal, why was there no one? Business is not so bad that there is not a single customer.

"Then come here again."

Hong Yu's mother ordered three more special dishes, looked at the decoration in the restaurant, and said with a smile, "The restaurant is quite magnificent, but the business is not good"

"Yes! You see that the waiters over there are idle and have nothing to do, and the boss has to die at a loss, and he has no work to do, so he asks them to pay his salary, which is an easy job."

Zhou Fan took off his down jacket, pulled a chair and put the bag and down jacket on it.

The driver, Xiao Zhang, parked the car and also came in, and Zhou Fan beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over.

"Just us? Oh, we're chartering."

Xiao Zhang is Hong Yu's mother's driver, usually driving in the company, after Hong Yu took over the decoration company, he went to work in the hotel, only when the old lady used the car, he would go back to drive, with the old lady dispatched.

"Why don't you have any tea? Are you thirsty? I'll help you pour water," Zhou Fan said, standing up, very dissatisfied with the service attitude in the hotel.

"Well, go see what kind of tea there is? Preferably barley tea, really thirsty"

Zhou Fan walked on slender legs and came to the service desk, but there was no one.

"Waiters, waiters, people?"

Zhou Fan shouted to the waiters who were gathered around, the customer is God, don't they know? Wait for the complaint to deduct your salary, don't cry when the time comes, saying that the salary is less.

"Here, what do you want or drink?"

Zhou Fan listened to the tone of her voice, as if he was reluctant to come over, this customer came, didn't they first ask the guest if they needed any wine, drinks and milk? The attitude is so bad.

"Please help me make a pot of barley tea, and where's the bathroom?"

The waiter pointed to the back with an expression on his face and said, "Turn right in the corridor and go straight."

"Thank you, please hurry, the old man is thirsty"

After speaking, Zhou Fan followed the direction pointed out by the waiter, turned right, and walked until the end of the hotel before coming to the bathroom and washing his hands.

This hotel is quite big, and there are private rooms, but there are no customers, it's too wasteful, is the rent here very cheap? It's still the boss's own family, if it weren't for it, someone would be unlucky, and the loss would not recognize where his home is heading.

Zhou Fan returned to the restaurant, a plate of white shrimp had already been served, but the tea had not yet come up, so he picked up the chopsticks and pinched one, fiddled with it casually, looked at the small shrimp on the plate, and tasted it.

After eating a shrimp, she said "the shrimp are dead and not fresh"

Hong Yu's mother also ate one, immediately put down her chopsticks, looked at a plate of white shrimp, and shook her head.

The waiter brought all the dishes to him, and only at the end did he bring the barley tea.

The driver Xiao Zhang didn't speak, he just lowered his head to eat, he was a driver, he didn't care if he ate with them, just eat enough.

After tasting all the dishes, Zhou Fan put down his chopsticks, preferring to drink barley tea rather than move his chopsticks anymore.

"This shop is really distinctive, the dishes can be imported in addition to tofu, the clam mud and sand are not cleaned, the fish is not fresh, the egg soup is too salty, and the MSG is put in, and the price is still expensive."

Zhou Fan said, poured a cup of barley tea for Hong Yu's mother, and also poured a cup for the driver, and then himself.

A bowl of rice was served, Zhou Fan picked a little with chopsticks, threw the chopsticks to the ground in a breath and shouted, "Waiter, call your boss over, what is this?" The rice is still raw, can you still eat it? ”

Hong Yu's mother also put down her chopsticks, she was a little particular about eating, and she endured it without having a seizure, but someone got angry first.

The waiter followed the chef in white overalls to the table where Zhou Fan and the others were sitting and said, "The boss is not here, what do you need?" ”

"Are you a chef?" Zhou Fan looked at him and asked.

"Yes, I'm the head chef here, what's the problem?"

Also the head chef, who issued the certificate, blind and have no sense of taste?

"Have you tasted it? Can you serve this dish? Shame on you? The head chef is at this level? Did you graduate from that school? Did you return everything you learned to the teacher? Your cooking skills can't be compared to that of a housewife, it's hard to swallow."

Zhou Fan was a little angry, he was insulting the chef industry and fooling every guest who ate his food, he should sincerely apologize to those who had eaten his food and ask for their forgiveness.

"Please pay attention to what you say, the dishes are cooked in our kitchen, I don't think there is any problem, or are you not used to our local dishes?"

Zhou Fan really wanted to beat him up, Suzhou is a food paradise, and he still has a hard mouth and doesn't admit that there is a problem with his dishes.

"Live shrimp, the taste is firm, the taste is slightly sweet, and the fish, the fishy smell is serious, you know that you have been dead for a long time when you taste it, the blood has not been cleaned, the treatment of clams, the sediment has not been spit clean, the soup, obviously there are eggs, you also put a lot of MSG, the teacher taught you? What is Health? What is Safe Food? Do you think about it from the customer's point of view, they want more than just the taste, of course, what is the taste of your food, I don't want to say more, what I want is to be able to eat in a restaurant like at home, you know? ”

The head chef is in his forties, and he has several apprentices, and he was taught a lesson by a woman in her twenties, and the waiter stood not far away and watched them.

Hong Yu's mother chuckled, looked at Zhou Fan with an angry face, and then looked at the head chef who was trained by her to droop his head, as if Zhou Fan was the head chef and the head chef was her apprentice.

She has also been taught, and has been doing catering for more than ten years, and for the first time she has heard that it is necessary to taste dishes from the standpoint of customers' health.

She had an idea, and this may be a prospect for development, a healthy body, who does not want.

Nowadays, young people don't do much cooking, and the post-80s generation has many only children, and they want to eat well, be healthy, democratic, creative, and fresh, why not change the restaurant into a personalized theme restaurant, with customers to provide menus, integrated into home cooking, so as to attract customers.
