Chapter Forty-Nine: The Feast (Second Update, Seeking Collection)
“Waiter!” Duke raised his hand and signaled to the restaurant waiter to start ordering now, the waiter at Silverstone Restaurant first politely asked if he wanted to order now after leading Duke Shuya to his seat, seeing that Duke and Shuya did not ask for a while, they quickly returned to the waiting position and left the conversation space to Duke and the others, this service made Duke feel very comfortable, after all, before the decision, if there is always someone chattering next to you to introduce you, especially with such a beautiful woman, A lot of recommended things make you feel very uncomfortable whether you want it or not, and it's best to wait until you study the menu yourself, and then discuss it with your peers, which makes people feel more at home.
The waiter walked over quickly and took out the order sheet.
"The appetizer is caviar, well, it's going to be royal sevrouga." Duke pointed to the menu and said to the waiter.
This kind of caviar is more expensive on the menu, and Shu Ya hurriedly said: "Duke, this dish is too expensive, let's change it." ”
"Are you not used to eating caviar?" Duke asked. "If you don't get used to eating, it's not a big problem, I said I'm going to treat you today, it's okay to eat well." This has nothing to do with flattery, the fact is that Duke has never eaten this thing, and today he is going to try it when he sees Hunter Xinxi.
Shu Ya was mistaken, shook her head and said that she was not used to eating, her family was good, and she had naturally eaten caviar, but it was not so expensive. Since Duke said so, then it's up to him, it seems that today is really a big meal, thinking of this, Shu Ya felt a little happy in her heart.
Next, according to the order of Western food, it is time to order soup, but when Duke saw the soup above, almost all of them were not eaten by himself, such as oxtail consommé, cheese cream soup, seafood soup, American clam soup, Italian vegetable soup, Russian borscht, French scallion soup...... Wait, more than ten or twenty, "What do you like about this soup?" Duke asked.
"I'll have Russian borscht," Shuya replied.
"Okay, a Russian borscht, a seafood soup," Duke said to the waiter, pointing at the picture of the seafood soup.
The third dish should be ordered fish dishes, according to Western food, fish dishes have tender meat and are relatively easy to digest, so they are placed in front of meat dishes, which are generally called side dishes. Usually the ingredients of the dishes are taken from a variety of fresh and marine fish, shellfish and molluscs.
Duke looked through it and found that the price of lobster is more appropriate, a Boston lobster, weighing about two pounds, the price is only 100 dollars, this price is basically in line with the domestic one, I can't think of eating lobster here is still quite cost-effective, Duke thought, buddy is fate with lobster or has a grudge, why did you come all the way to this far, or fall in love with you.
"How about a lobster? Do you prefer grilled, grilled or charcoal-grilled? Duke pointed to the lobster and said to Shuya.
"Charcoal," Shuya replied. Charcoal-grilled lobster belongs to Japanese cuisine, the taste is fresh and fragrant, and the average girl rarely likes it, but this roasting process is more complicated, and the salt can not be used ordinary refined salt, but Japanese salt, because ordinary refined salt is only salty and not fresh, and Japanese salt is fragrant but not salty.
"Okay, here's a charcoal-grilled Boston lobster," Duke said to the waiter.
Watching Duke skillfully order food, Shu Ya felt a little strange. In the hearts of ordinary people, doctors seem to generally belong to the more wooden technical men, and there are few rich second generations and official second generations, because of a strict doctoral admission school like MIT, the average rich second generation and official second generation can't bear that hardship at all, not only is it extremely difficult to get in, but it is even more difficult to graduate out. Even if they want to get a doctoral diploma as a façade, they will choose the so-called in-service classes of domestic schools, or the likes of Dr. Clayton of Pheasant University abroad.
In Duke, in addition to feeling the stubbornness of some technical men, Shu Ya does not have the taste of the rich second generation and the official second generation at all. This is also the reason why Shuya is still willing to get close to Duke. But why did he order Western food, this technical man who was so clumsy that he didn't know how to tip the airport attendant knew so much about the rules of Western food. According to the general understanding, for this kind of poor doctor who is immersed in technology, there should not be many opportunities to come into contact with this kind of thing.
What a strange person.
Of course, Shu Ya didn't know that since she went out at the airport, she had already made up for some common sense of life in the West on the Internet, and common knowledge such as Western food and service tips was now regarded as a theorist.
Now is the time to link theory with practice.
When he saw the main dish, Duke still encountered a problem in this operation, "Shu Xiaotiancai, what is this AustralianWagyuBeef, Australian beef is Australian beef, how can there be a Wagyu?" ”
This guy scared me, it turned out that he still didn't understand much. Shuya's lips turned up slightly when she heard Duke ask, revealing a hint of a smile.
"This is a kind of meat from the Japanese Yonezawa beef breed grown in Australia, generally called Wagyu beef, it is said that it is usually cooked cattle raised with wheat, corn and other grains for more than 50 days, its meat is rich in fat and evenly distributed, soft and elastic taste, and is regarded as a beef treasure by the Japanese, so this kind of beef is very expensive, if it is produced in Japan, because the production is not high, it is almost the most expensive beef in the world. Anyway, it's rare in China. Shu Ya replied.
"Then try the taste of this Japanese beef today, which one do you like?" DUKE ASKED, POINTING TO FILET, SIRLOIN, AND T-BONE ON THE MENU.
"I LIKE FILET, IT'S RIPE," SAYS SHUYA.
"Okay, then one FILET, five maturity, one T-BONE, also five maturity." After Duke finished ordering the main course, he felt that this portion should be almost enough, so he said to Shu Ya: "You can do the vegetable salad and dessert yourself, I want a cup of mocha coffee."
After eating the steak, drinking a cup of coffee is just to relieve the oiliness, and the mocha is mellow and aromatic, and the taste is very good. It is also more in line with Duke's happy mood now.
Unfortunately, this pleasure was soon broken by a few harsh words of Japanese English from the booth next door.
"NO, NO, don't want Australian Wagyu, this is not Wagyu beef at all, these things are only eaten by those nouveau riche from Chinese mainland, and only what we produce in Japan is real Wagyu."
If a native American said this, Duke would not be so angry, but you little Japan came to the United States, and everyone is a "foreigner", and you still say this, which is a bit tolerable and unbearable. So Duke stood up with a thud and threw himself at the booth next door.
"How do you speak, you can't speak, you come home and call your mother to teach you before you come out," Duke said loudly to the Japanese man who had just spoken in authentic London English.
This Japanese doesn't look very old, about 20 years old, and he can't see the specific height when he sits on the card seat, but the distance between Duke and the card seat should not exceed 1.7 meters, and his figure can be said to be weak.
The man obviously didn't expect someone to rush out and shout at him, just now he heard someone next door say Chinese, so he subconsciously said that slanderous sentence, in his opinion, this is nothing remarkable. In Boston, he has seen many Chinese studying abroad, most of whom are cautious, and only a small number of tourists are rich and not afraid of spending money. However, this kind of Chinese usually have poor English standards, so there is no pressure for him to say it smoothly, who knows if he encounters a hard stubble.
