Chapter 13: I'll go to the chef
The restaurant is very quiet, and the melodious piano sound softly shuttles through every corner, even if the weather outside is hot, it is very comfortable here.
Guests savor the exquisite cuisine with great care.
Only Zhao Lizhen has been fidgeting, and she has no interest in the foie gras and caviar in front of her.
Her purpose today is to humiliate Lu Ruoling and vent her evil anger.
Lu Jiu's dishes were served very slowly, one by one, and it took a long time to serve them all.
Zhao Lizhen smiled, although she didn't know what kind of dish Lu Jiu ordered, but she knew that it was definitely not the main dish in the store.
More than half of the people who come to this restaurant come for the authentic truffles, caviar, foie gras and snails.
But on Lu Ruoling's table, there was a bunch of yellow, yellow, green and green, and he didn't know what it was.
Zhao Lizhen held a glass of red wine, twisted her slender waist, walked over, and sat down.
"Phew! Ruoling, what did your brother order, I really haven't seen such a strange dish. You've read so many books, even if you haven't eaten them, you should know what is best in Western food. It's okay if you can't afford it, I'll just invite you! There's no need to order a bargain. ”
At this time, the waiter happened to come over with the last soup.
"Hello, this lady, it's not surprising that you haven't seen it, because these are the dishes that our chef has recently developed and have not yet officially launched."
Zhao Lizhen was stunned for a moment.
She has traveled to many countries and eaten a lot of Western food.
She knew that truffles, foie gras and caviar were precious in a famous Western restaurant, but what was even more valuable was the chef's new dishes.
Only these new dishes can reflect the level of a chef's culinary skills.
Every new dish is like a chef's child, it has to go through an unknown number of attempts and combinations, and finally it is refined.
Often, when a new dish is launched, it is first invited to some well-known food critics to taste it before it is marketed.
Because the chef makes it himself, there are very few customers who can taste it.
At least Zhao Lizhen has never had such an opportunity.
Suddenly, there were all those fancy things on the table that had been criticized for not knowing what they were.
It seemed to bloom with brilliance in an instant, making Zhao Lizhen swallow a few saliva unconsciously.
"Waiter, it's all the same menu, why don't we have these dishes on it?" Zhao Lizhen asked.
The waiter smiled slightly and said shallowly: "These are all hidden in the menu, and only real professionals can find them." ”
The waiter left, leaving Zhao Lizhen and Lu Ruoling with a confused face.
Zhao Lizhen sat back in her seat angrily, no matter how her companion asked, she didn't say a word.
I just muttered vigorously in my heart.
"What to drag, isn't it just that I happened to order a few dishes, and I will check out in a while to see what you do. And that waiter, who dared to laugh at Miss Ben for not being a professional, saw that I would not complain to you for a while. ”
Lu Ruoling was strange, looking at his brother, as if he didn't know him.
"Brother, how did you order these dishes? The waiter said you're a professional! ”
Lu Jiu smiled slightly, naturally he didn't tell the truth.
In the last life, in order to save his sister, Lu Jiu traveled to I don't know how many countries and dealt with anyone, so this little thing naturally couldn't bother him.
But Lu Jiu just explained: "Eh-two days ago, I accompanied a big customer with the company's leaders, and I was taught by others, saying that there are so many ways in the menu of Western food. ”
Lu Ruoling showed a suspicious look.
"Is it true? Brother, don't lie to me. ”
Lu Jiu coughed twice, quickly changed the topic, and said: "Of course it's true, otherwise how do you think I will know, hurry up and eat, if it's cold, it will disappoint the chef." ”
Fiora, one of the few very professional western restaurants in the coastal city.
The reason why it is famous is not only because of the chef's superb cooking skills and unique environment.
Its price is even more out of reach for many.
The per capita consumption of thousands at every turn has made most people only think about it, and they don't even have the courage to approach.
Zhao Lizhen and his entourage of four people roughly estimated that the consumption was about 10,000.
Then it is enough to estimate that Lu Ruoling's table will have a consumption of at least about 3,000.
Zhao Lizhen is very aware of Lu Ruoling's family environment.
My father was a restaurant owner, and my mother didn't have a job.
Usually at school, I also cut down on food and clothing.
I never go to class reunions or anything.
In the dormitory, I only hold a book all year round.
I rarely socialize with my classmates.
But this is Lu Ruoling.
At the age of 16, he had already published three papers on ancient plants, and became the brightest future star in the entire school.
And her immature and untouched appearance also attracts many boys.
Among them is the person Zhao Lizhen has always had a crush.
The third young master of Tiens Group, Wu Wenbin.
Therefore, Zhao Lizhen squeezed Lu Ruoling everywhere.
If you have this opportunity today, how can you let it go.
And at this moment, I saw Lu Jiu raise his head and greet him.
The waiter walked over.
Zhao Lizhen smiled, knowing that they were going to settle the bill.
"Hello, sir! What is the need? ”
For Lu Jiu, the waiter has special respect.
And not just because he's a guest here.
It is also because he can see the hidden dishes in the chef's specially designed menu.
Fiora's chef, Mr. Barotti, often says.
Anyone who can understand the menu is the one who really understands the food.
Lu Ruoling had silently taken out his credit card.
In any case, this meal cannot be paid for by the brother.
And she also knows that her brother definitely has no money.
It's a big deal to find more job as a tutor by yourself.
Anyway, there is still a month before the military training of the university, and I can return it.
After making up his mind, Lu Ruoling's heart was not panicked.
But who would have thought that Lu Jiu just whispered a word to the waiter.
"I'd like to meet your chef."
The waiter was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly bowed and left.
Meet the chef? What is this for?
Lu Ruoling instantly made up some routines that he usually saw on TV.
"Brother said, you don't have to spend money to eat, could it be that he wants to call other people's chefs up, and then pick bones in the eggs, say that other people's are not, and then let people give them free orders?"
"No, no, my brother is not such a person, no matter how you say it, playing a scoundrel is not the style of our old Lu family. I admit that my brother is usually a little bored, so he won't all break out today, right? ”
"That's not good, then it's really embarrassing, Zhao Lizhen is still watching from the sidelines, if she sees it, I won't be able to raise my head in front of my classmates in the future."
Thinking of this, Lu Ruoling suddenly stood up.
Lu Jiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Ling Ling, what are you going to do?" ”
Lu Ruoling blushed and said with a little embarrassment: "I'll go to settle the bill, you don't have to look for someone else's chef." ”
