Chapter 54: The Picky Eater (I)
Viscount Chris spoke amazingly, but the moment of the fate of the side actually gave birth to the meaning of soliciting Finch, you must know that although his title is not too high, but the family background is very solid, and what does a steward of the noble mansion represent, although there is no scenery of the steward monopolizing power, but for a commoner who works as a waiter in a restaurant, it is definitely a step to the sky. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Sure enough, he is an outlier among the nobles! The people around him sighed in unison, he was the only one who could make such a hasty decision! And Viscount Chris himself didn't think so in his heart, because he was really very interested in Finch himself, he was only invited by Sanchez, the president of the Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce, to come to this restaurant in the civilian area, just as a courtesy, and did not expect to taste any delicious dishes from here, so he has never been keen on socializing, and he is actually not in a good mood to come here today, so he put on a serious attitude just now.
It's just that he never thought that this little waiter in front of him would dare to let him eat a lot of soft nails! That's right, it's because Finch's words just now seemed to be an apology to him on the surface, but in fact they were full of counterattacks and accusations from beginning to end.
First of all, I apologize for failing to take into account his special needs, what is special? Different from ordinary people is special, that is to say, he is different from ordinary people, isn't it abnormal in other words! I am a restaurant that accepts normal people, and I am really embarrassed for your abnormal needs! Besides, it is not that so many VIP status is more expensive than you, at least most of them will not be much worse than you, why are you the only one who has special needs, does this mean that you are more difficult to serve than other people here? You deserve special treatment, don't you?
Well, meet you!
Isn't it just that there are few types of dishes on the menu specially prepared for VIPs? Then I'll bring you the full version of the menu right away, you didn't ask for it in advance, and this correction will not delay your too much effort. And the last sentence "I hope the delicious food can make up for the unhappiness in my heart" is also a solid army for him, since you have a problem with the choice of menu, using the reason that you have no choice to choose your favorite dishes, that is, it has been stated that the ultimate goal is to eat satisfactory food.
And based on this premise, the hidden meaning of this sentence becomes: the menu has been provided for you to choose from, and if the final dish is delicious, please shut your mouth!
So as soon as Finch said this, Viscount Chris really didn't want to go down, if he agreed, it was obviously leveled in momentum, and if he wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble, he seemed to be not strong enough, his motives were not pure, and the only choice he had left seemed to be to finish the meal honestly and then speak according to the quality of the dishes. In this way, Finch's attitude is worth pondering, otherwise he is extremely confident in the ability of the back kitchen, and such a restaurant can make food that satisfies Chris's picky tongue, it is simply a feat worthy of spreading throughout the city's food scene!
And if Finch is not confident in the level of the kitchen, it is even more difficult, because as a waiter, he has fulfilled his duty well, that is, to deal with all kinds of problems and emergencies given by diners, and it is rare that he can strictly abide by the principles and do his best to ensure the dignity and face of the restaurant and the owner in a very unfavorable situation, and the consequences are not determined by the factors that he can ultimately control, which makes his persistence seem rare.
The so-called 'Son of Heaven guards the country, the king dies in the community' is the truest portrayal of 'duty, never give up', it is really difficult for anyone in this world to be able to do their duty regardless of the consequences and losses, and this quality can be seen in a small restaurant waiter.
Chris agrees with Fincher's actions, and it's not an anomaly to have a heart for such a talent, but it's just ......
"Thank you, Your Excellency, Viscount, for your appreciation, but I am still a waiter in the restaurant, and I beg your permission to do my part. Would you like to start ordering now?"
Chris could naturally hear Finch's refusal, so he no longer dreaded and flipped up the thick menu by himself, and after a while, Chris put down the menu and said to Finch:
"Unfortunately, I haven't seen most of the dishes on your menu, so it's very difficult to choose, do you have any recommendations?"
Someone in the seat next to him has already begun to hold back a smile, ignoring you Chris, who is known as a food expert, would have said so timidly at this time, if it was really so simple here, it would not attract so many big people to visit, so that you are as arrogant and critical as ever, and now you have learned a lesson!
Of course, this is just the idea of some small people! Those who really know know that Chris is actually giving Finch a big problem, and he is not embarrassed to admit on the spot that he can't understand the menu, and he doesn't know how to pretend to understand! And in all fairness, there is nothing more difficult than recommending a dish to a stranger who is extremely picky!
Finch thought for a moment, and then spoke:
"Of course, Your Excellency, may I ask you a few questions about your taste preferences?"
"Just ask!"
"Do you have a diet that's meat-based, vegan, or a mix and match!"
"It's better to pair it with some! But in general, I still like meat more!"
"Do you have any preferences for taste, such as sour, spicy?"
"I don't have any special preferences, and for a good eater, I have to taste everything, don't you, but I like the freshness of the ingredients. ”
"Got it, do you have any food to avoid?"
"I'm not too picky!"
"Oh no! I mean, are there any foods that you don't feel well after eating them, and we don't recommend them for health reasons, even if they are something you really like!"
"Well, let me think about it, peas are one kind, and peanuts are a headache, and I can't think of anything else!"
"I see, Your Excellency, according to your preference, I recommend the following dishes: pan-fried salmon with vanilla lemon sauce for the starter, braised tomato soup with beef brisket, and for the main course, we will arrange for you to have sour cream baked lobster with sweet potato puree, do you think this is okay?"
"Salmon should be fried tenderly, I like the taste of fresh!"
"Do you think it's enough?"
"A little more tender is better!"
"That might affect the overall taste of the dish, so why don't you switch it to a smoked salmon salad?"
"Yes, is there anything you can recommend for dessert?"
"Pumpkin carrot cake baked this morning, topped with cream cheese and caramel hazelnuts, do you need one?"
"Sounds good, let's have one!"
"Okay, that's all you ordered, right?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, please make an order for you later!"
Putting away the menu, Finch gracefully bowed and prepared to go back to the kitchen to arrange the order, when Chris spoke again:
"Don't you really want to come to my house to try it?
"Your Excellency, I already have a job, thank you again!"
With a slight smile, Chris leaned back in his chair and quietly waited for his dishes to be served, looking very expectant.
And the people around him who were still whispering before were relatively quiet now, because even the layman who watched the scene just now understood one thing, that is, the waiter who served Chris just now was indeed not simple.
Not only did he calmly deal with the problems posed by the viscount, but also speculated on Chris's specific preferences through a few simple questions and quickly recommended the menu, and for his request for cooking details, once the bottom line of the kitchen operation was exceeded, he did not blindly compromise with the guests, but quickly suggested a change of dishes to ensure that both parties could accept it.
Neither Finch's age nor his fit with this newly opened restaurant can guarantee that he can perform like this, so this kid is indeed a talent, and now not only Chris is interested in him, but even other VIPs who have a restaurant industry or are interested in management talents have begun to pay attention to the waiters of this restaurant.
It seems that the one who served Viscount Chris just now is not the identity of a waiter butler but just an ordinary waiter, if every waiter in this restaurant has such a level, at least he has the qualifications to receive any high-level diners, and even the environment and service here alone are at least worth coming!
Now the most interesting thing is the core ability of this restaurant, that is, whether the cooking skills can satisfy the discerning 'gourmet viscount'!
