Chapter 44: Serving
Even the smile on Hutton's face suddenly disappeared, although he was small, he knew very well what the Pandeon family meant, and he knew what Kelton and the restaurant were in the field of vision.
The waiter's tone was normal, but in everyone's opinion, the moment he spoke of "Pandeon's family", the waiter was obviously a little more arrogant.
"That's right...... Then let's order something else. Halmon didn't lose his mind after all, but his tone was full of regret.
He quickly ordered some dishes and handed the wax plate menu to the waiter.
The waiter was about to turn around when Su Ye's voice sounded in the room.
"Mr. Waiter, we still order the Keldon salad, but please tell Chef Master that it was Su Ye who ordered it." Su Ye Dao.
"Do you know Mr. Master?" The waiter's attitude was a little more enthusiastic.
"We've worked together." Su Ye nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll bring your words." The waiter was extremely respectful to Su Ye, even though he knew that Halmon was richer than Su Ye.
The waiter left, and the three people in the room looked at Su Ye blankly.
Halfon's legs and feet were numb, but he still didn't want to sit down.
Halmon was rich, comparable to the average petty nobleman, but he himself was neither a magician nor a warrior, and a foreigner, with a low status in Athens, which is why he spent a lot of money to send Hutton to study at Plato's Academy.
No matter how hard he tried, because of the problem of his status as a Gentile, it was difficult for Halmon to succeed even if he wanted to make friends with powerful people or nobles.
Master chefs were not as wealthy as Halmon, and their status was not high, but in Greece only native-born citizens were allowed to serve as priests, and their relationship with the priests of the major temples was unusual.
He is a figure that Halmon can never afford to offend.
"Su Ye, how did you meet Chef Master?" Harmon asked cautiously.
Su Ye said honestly: "We have only met once, my parents are bakers and have worked with him. ”
"That's right." The three of them looked at each other, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat down slowly.
Hutton hesitated for a moment before asking, "Have you really only met once?" ”
Su Ye said seriously: "I've really only met once, I've only eaten one meal, and I've never seen each other since." ”
Hutton gave his father a look.
Halmon nodded, his expression much more relaxed.
"Put away your glasses." Halmon reminded.
Su Ye picked up the black pottery wine glass, looked at the bottom of the bottle, looked at the three people again, and put it on the right hand side.
Hutton sat on Su Ye's right side.
Senit slowly put away his dagger, frowning and pondering.
Time passed slowly, one dish after another came up, and the three of them ate silently, but Su Ye occasionally commented a few words, which made the three of them feel uncomfortable.
Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.
"Mr. Master!"
"Chef Master!"
"Today is really lucky......"
"I heard that he is the creator of the Kelton salad."
Suddenly, the door opened.
A strong smell of kitchen fumes poured into the room.
A middle-aged man in a short white robe stood in the doorway, wearing a large apron covered with various smudges. His face had a look of exhaustion, but the upturned mustache and joyful gaze made him a little refreshed.
"Xiao Suye, why didn't you say hello before you came? It's been a busy day, so don't blame us for the poor hospitality at Dolphin River. Master, who had never smiled, walked in with a salad bowl and greeted Su Ye with a smile.
"Good evening, Mr. Master, I had to come because I received a sudden invitation." Su Ye got up with a smile on his face.
Master put down the salad bowl, opened his arms, but said, "You also saw my appearance, so I won't hug you." You have a good dinner, and tell the waiter if you have any grievances. It's been too busy today, so we'll have time to talk about it later. ”
"Okay, you're busy."
Master smiled and patted Su Ye on the shoulder, and walked out quickly.
The three of them looked at Su Ye blankly.
Is this called only once?
Others don't know, Halmon knows very well, Master has always thought that the kitchen is bigger than the sky, he even dares to scold Keldon, how can he be so enthusiastic about someone who has only met once? And a salad delivered yourself?
Keldon doesn't have this treatment!
"The salad is very good, try it." Su Ye reached out and grabbed a little and put it in his mouth, nodding slightly, it tasted great, it must have been made by Master himself, whether it was the proportion of vegetables or the proportion of salad dressing, it was perfect.
The three of them sat for a long time before they slowly tasted the salad.
"It's delicious...... Hutton's taste has been completely Hellenistic.
"Not bad." Halmon nodded.
Seni nodded, he wasn't used to the smell, but it felt quite new.
After eating the salad, Halmon looked at the black pottery wine glass, and then at his stupid son, and a look of hesitation flashed across his face, thinking about the consequences of offending Mamaster. He found that Master might not be hostile to him for Su Ye's sake, and even if he was hostile, at most he would not welcome himself to Dolphin River, so as not to use favors to ask the priest to suppress him.
What's more, for him, the priest is not difficult to deal with, as long as he is willing to go to the temple to donate, he will basically be forgiven.
In the end, he gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, stared at Su Ye, and said slowly: "Since you have finished eating, it is up to you to make a choice." ”
"What choice?" Su Ye asked.
"Friends or wine glasses." Halmon's voice was extremely cold, and he could no longer maintain the gentle tone in which he had won before.
"Can I choose neither?" Su Ye asked.
"No, you can't!" Halmon Road.
"I think so." Su Ye smiled.
Halmon turned to look at Senit beside him.
To the surprise of both Halmon and Hutton, Sennet did not stand up immediately, but hesitated for several seconds before slowly taking out the dagger.
Halmon chuckled inwardly, and saw that Sennet was affected by Master and Kelton behind him.
The owner of the Dolphin River Restaurant is the famous silver warrior Kelton, arguably one of the most powerful men in the entire civic district, and his influence is even greater than that of the down-and-out petty nobles.
Halmon knew that he would never be able to climb to Keldon's status in his life, and his son might still have a chance.
Thinking of this, Halmon looked at his uncompetitive son, and cursed in his heart, if it weren't for Hutton's fool, he didn't want to offend any of the students of Plato's Academy, even the third fool who might drop out at any time.
When Senit stood up, Halmon couldn't help but say, "Sennet, you don't have to think too much. I've checked his background, but he's just the son of a baker, and even if he knows Mast, it's only a general acquaintance at best. Behind him, there can't be any big guys. ”
Sennet didn't expect Halmon to be so breathless, didn't say anything, and nodded slightly.
Halmon put his mind at ease, stared at Su Ye again, showed his fierce appearance for the first time, and said sharply: "Since you chose the path to the underworld, then don't blame me." Say it, do it yourself, or we'll help you! ”
Just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
