Chapter 53: Opening (II)

The waiter's costume makes people feel bright, you must know that in this world, the popular style of medieval Europe dominates, and in the aristocratic clothing aesthetic dominated by ornate dresses and intricate pleated decorations, although the clothes of the waiter in front of him are not as simple as the commoner style, they are still too simplistic for the upper class, but other than that, it does not make people feel even the slightest discomfort.

The slim clothes can well reflect the young man's tall and toned figure, the white shirt and black vest create a serious and stable atmosphere with a simple and contrasting basic two-tone tone, and a white hand towel is placed in front of the forearm, although the specific purpose is not clear, but the overall feeling is very elegant.

Coupled with the simplicity and generosity of Harpy's movements and mannerisms, he did not shy away from the nobility of his guests, nor did he appear vulgar and unreasonable because of his background as a resident of the lower city, and even a big man like Leonard who often came and went to the court felt that his eyes lit up, so he unconsciously thought that it was indeed a pleasant experience for him to sit here and receive such a service.

The waiters, dressed in the same uniform as Harpy, played out the same scene at each table, except that one of the tables against the wall was clearly in trouble.

"Do you want to decorate your house with extremely expensive materials and not put a little more effort into your recipes! I have no choice in this dish, is this how you treat your guests!" Finch stood aside with the menu in his hand, looking a little embarrassed, listening to a man dressed in aristocratic attire at the table grumble.

"Alas, Lord Viscount is picking on himself again, I thought he could give more face today!"

"That's a lot of thought, that's the one who dares to find fault with the dishes at the king's banquet!" whispered the heads of the two small chambers of commerce at the next table, and the Viscount they spoke of was none other than the middle-aged nobleman who had attacked Finch, Viscount Chris Tony, and rumors about this Lord were widely spread in the royal capital.

As a true nobleman, he can be regarded as the most maverick among the nobles of the empire to some extent, thanks to his attitude towards food, although this lord himself is not a high-level professional chef, but this does not prevent him from becoming a gourmet. In fact, he has an almost paranoid passion for food, in his eyes food is a sacred attitude, which can make people experience incomparable satisfaction and happiness, and correspondingly people should have the greatest respect for food, especially the majority of chefs and catering industry practitioners who are professional should have a very professional level and attitude, otherwise it is the greatest disrespect for diners.

And this principle has always been implemented by him in every detail, he can travel thousands of miles to a foreign country for the sake of food just to taste a dish he has never seen before, and he will also spend a lot of money to collect chefs to form a team of home chefs who are known as the top in the aristocratic circle in order to maintain the high quality of his daily diet, and what is even more disgusting is that he can accuse the court chef of making the dishes substandard in front of his majesty the emperor at the banquet.

As long as it is about food, this usually kind, elegant and generous person will turn into the most picky mean ghost, no matter the occasion, no matter the object, as long as the food served is not his heart, then you don't want to hear any nice words from his mouth! But despite this, many restaurants and family banquets are still proud to invite Viscount Chris, because despite how unkind he is in this regard, there is one thing that everyone recognizes, that is, he is a connoisseur of food, not only cooking techniques, but also the quality of ingredients and related culture, the king of the empire once laughed at him as a 'saint-level connoisseur' in the imperial food industry, of course, there is no such profession, but it can be seen that the outside world has a great recognition of his professionalism.

Therefore, many restaurants and chefs have the idea of getting praise from him, because if the 'Viscount of Gourmet' says that your food is not delicious, it can only be said that you are not up to the ultimate standard, and the dish may not be considered bad in the eyes of the average person, but if he says that a dish is delicious, then even the most discerning diner will not be able to jump out of the way, because it is the most picky person!

And today, Viscount Chris is not possible to change his standards for a shopkeeper who has no friendship, so it is likely to develop into an embarrassing scene in the end, the two leaders of the Chamber of Commerce who just whispered are actually holding the mentality of watching the show, in fact, they have their own restaurants located in Midtown and Downtown, they originally regarded themselves as successful businessmen, in addition to being crushed to death by a bunch of VIPs with great backgrounds, even after just appreciating the restaurant's 'low-key luxury', they have a sense of self-shame.

What can a nouveau riche who can only start his own business in the lower town have to be proud of, let the discerning Viscount give you a taste of what it means to be a 'difficult business'.

"Your Excellency, the menu prepared for the guests today is a selection of delicacies that have been personally considered by the owner of the store, and it is not intended to limit your choices, please forgive me if there is any misunderstanding......

"Hmph, don't I know what I like to eat, and I need someone to make the decision for me! Besides, is there any difference between the so-called VIPs and ordinary diners in front of the food? Is it just because of our special status that we can't use the ordinary menu!"

Finch's face was slightly ugly, and he couldn't help but subconsciously look at Harpy. In order to ensure the quality of the dishes in the back kitchen, Xiao Yi, as a master chef, he went to the back kitchen after he invited everyone to sit down, and the first follower Zod is currently on the first floor to take care of the order, and the rest of the waiters in the restaurant are all commanded by Xiao Yi's designated foreman Harpy.

Instead of being the boss who saw his subordinates being bullied or in trouble like he used to do when he was used to wandering the streets, Harpy just gave Finch an encouraging look and nodded again.

Finch, who had been with Harpy for many years, understood that this was a hint to tell him that he was in charge of the cheap things, but could this work? The other party was a famous diner, and coupled with his noble status and authority in the food industry, he might bring the restaurant notoriety if he didn't handle it well.

His job is small, but Xiao Yi, as the boss, is not only tolerant and respectful enough for them, but also takes good care of them, if he really causes losses to this store, how can he get by on his conscience.

When these two words appeared in his thoughts, he suddenly remembered what Xiao Yi had said when he was doing service training for them: "There are clear boundaries in the division of labor in a team, you don't need to control the overall situation, that's what I should worry about as a boss, as long as everyone does their duty well, does not evade responsibility and does not need to worry about whether your companions can give you enough support, everyone performs the task according to the standard and general strategy, then all the difficulties will be solved in the end." ”

Thinking of this, Finch suddenly felt that his flustered heart calmed down a lot, because he believed that his efforts to be rated as 'excellent' in the service skills assessment would not be in vain, and he also believed that his boss would not be angry and blamed for any decision he made, and he even believed that anything brought out by the back kitchen under Xiao Yi's personal supervision could shut up the fussy ghost in front of him.

So the expression that was slightly nervous and cramped before disappeared, and was replaced by a face with a reserved smile.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency, this is indeed a small mistake on our part of the past, if you don't mind, I will present you with the full menu of the restaurant at once, and I hope that the unique delicacy will make up for your unhappiness!"

This remark was a little cold, because the expression on Viscount Chris's face, as the main owner, seemed to be a little frozen, not seeing good or bad, just staring at Finch's face silently, and the other party also kept a smile and looked between his mouth, nose and neck and stood quietly.

It wasn't until one of his companions brought the full menu downstairs to Finch, and then handed it over to Chris, that the Viscount said in a playful tone:

"You're a very interesting person! Would you be interested in coming to my house as a steward? No matter how much you get paid here, I'll pay you five times as much!"
