Chapter 47: Culinary Exchange

Qi Min still looked up to his immunity.

Her physical fitness has always been good, but she can't withstand a week of continuous overwork, and the last day of high-intensity experiments. Of course, just from the point of blowing a cold wind all night, she can't completely blame her immune system for catching a cold.

Anyway, Anton came to her with her down coat and a thermos cup of ginger ale.

Qi Min put on a down coat, took a sip of ginger cola, and suddenly asked, "Wait a while, you come out, where is Mimi?" ”

"Didn't you send Mimi to the kindergarten next door last time, did you forget?" Anton asked rhetorically with some dissatisfaction.

Qi Min then remembered that she had gone to discuss with the person in charge of the kindergarten in the neighborhood next door the day before yesterday, and wanted to send Mimi to their kindergarten to experience it. Mimi has not yet opened a household registration, and she cannot go to the public kindergarten arranged by the Chinese Technical University for the teachers' families. And there are limited places to go to public kindergartens, and you have to queue up, so Qi Min thinks it is better to let Mimi try it in a private kindergarten opened in this kind of community first.

"You just sent Mimi over?" Qi Min asked.

"yes...... Anton couldn't help but sigh, "Mimi was quite happy when she first went, and then she started shouting when she saw that I was leaving." ”

Qi Min's daughter is a little different from ordinary children. Usually children will cry when they see their parents gone, but Mimi shouts directly. Her shouting was much louder than a child's crying, and it was almost twice as lethal as an ordinary child.

"The kindergarten people still dare to accept her?" Even though he knew that this was a bit unconscionable, Qi Min couldn't help but laugh.

"A lot of kids are like that." Anton said helplessly, "It's good to get used to it." ”

Although compared to Qi Min, Anton is more attentive to Mimi, but as Qi Min's boyfriend, he is obviously not good at taking care of children. Everyone is a first-time parent, and it's almost enough.

"Alas......" Qi Min leaned back on the sofa and took another sip of ginger Coke, "Then don't be in a hurry to go back." As...... Shall we go to dinner? ”

"Why don't you go home for dinner?" Anton glanced at the time on his phone, "It's only ten o'clock, it's just right to go back and cook." ”

"Hey, you see you've finally come back, and you haven't tasted the craftsmanship of a serious restaurant in China yet." Qi Min narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Don't you think you should learn to communicate?" ”

When it comes to cooking, Anton is also true: "Okay, let's try it." But it's not necessarily who is higher and who is lower. ”

"Let's go." Qi Min got up from the sofa, but because he had been paralyzed for too long, he didn't find his balance for a while and swayed for a while.

Anton hurriedly supported her: "Are you okay, you don't need me to carry you, right?" ”

"I'm not dead yet." Qi Min was in a good mood and zipped up his down coat and put on his hat, "Let's go, Master will take you to eat and drink spicy food." ”

——

Qi Min thought it well. Not to mention the specific process, if Anton can go to a serious restaurant to become a chef in the future, then he must at least understand what is popular in restaurants in Beijing now.

Although Anton learned serious Chinese food in his previous Chinese restaurant, Qi Min found that perhaps because the former Chinese restaurant owner was a northerner, he also taught Anton mostly northern cuisine. I can only cook northern food, and there is no problem in opening a home-cooked restaurant in Beijing, but there are fixed standards in large hotels, even if the guests don't order much, the kitchen must be able to cook it.

What's more, Sichuan cuisine has become very popular in Beijing now, and even the copper pot shabu-shabu was later contested by Chongqing hot pot, not to mention that ordinary restaurants also know a few common Sichuan dishes. Qi Min felt that Anton still had to understand this aspect.

Thanks to Zhang Zhiyong's blessing, Qi Min also knows the distribution of eating, drinking and entertainment places around the school. She took Anton directly to a popular restaurant in this area, specializing in Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine.

At ten o'clock, the hotel just started to open, and Qi Min and Anton were almost the first table of customers, so naturally there were waiters to treat them seriously.

Qi Min had just done a key experiment, and he was quite conceited in the short term, because he had just paid his salary and had a little money in his hand, so he put the menu in front of Anton very boldly: "Come, order whatever you want." ”

Anton flipped through the menu, and seemed to be a little surprised to see that most of the dishes in it were spicy, and for a while he just curiously flipped the menu from beginning to end. The waiter on the side saw that he didn't look like an orthodox Chinese, and combined with the geographical environment here, there are many international students in the university, so he was also a little hesitant whether to introduce the menu.

Qi Min saw that Anton didn't order food for a long time, and then remembered that his ability to recognize Chinese characters was not very strong, and he might not know it.

But in front of others, it was revealed that Anton was semi-literate, and Qi Min was also afraid of losing face. So he took the menu away from him and explained, "Hmm...... I'm not a local, so hesitant to order a dish. I'll do it anyway. ”

Her phrase "not a local" originally wanted to express that northerners from other places came to Beijing, but she didn't expect there to be so many spicy dishes, but she was misunderstood by the waiter as a foreigner coming to China, and she was hesitant to see so many dishes.

If you want to "entertain foreign friends", according to the normal understanding, you can spend a little more than ordinary meals, after all, Chinese have a good face. Therefore, the waiter was quite enthusiastic to recommend several signature dishes of this restaurant, and basically each of them was enough to make a normal main course of a meal. And Qi Min also wanted Anton to see the Sichuan cuisine that is popular all over the country, so he basically ordered all the recommended dishes, and also ordered a bunch of other special dishes.

Finally, the waiter asked her, "Do you have any taboos?" ”

"Nope." Qi Min smiled and said, "Just follow the standard method." ”

The waiter nodded, reported the super long menu again, and then couldn't help but say, "Madam, you ordered a little too much......

"It's okay." Qi Min smiled happily, "It's my first time here, so I don't want to pay attention to pomp." ”

She said so, and the waiter didn't have anything to say.

When the waiter left, Anton couldn't help but "cut" her: "You can really pretend." ”

"What's the matter, am I wrong?" Qi Min added a piece of rock sugar to the wolfberry chrysanthemum tea he bought by his own, "I'm taking you out to eat, I'm not afraid of spending money." ”

She also feels good about herself, but Anton really eats this set.

Anton smiled at Qi Min, when he smiled, it was like a spring flower, if there was a price for his appearance, it would definitely be worth this meal.

Then he said teasingly: "You order so many dishes, do you want to take them back for a week?" ”

"Whether you bring it back or not, I'm just giving you a taste for each of them." Qi Min said with a smile, not without jokes, "After all, this is a famous restaurant in this area, if you want to be the head chef in the future, you have to surpass them." ”
