Chapter Eighty-Three: Shopping for Goods
Soon, the dishes began to arrive, and the wellington steak was golden brown and exuded a unique aroma.
After the last practice, Hao Ren already knew how to eat steak, and learned from Chen Yao's example, slowly cutting it with a knife and fork.
Jiang Xiaoya and Qin Wen couldn't help but take out their mobile phones and start taking pictures, Qin Wen just felt that it was too wasteful not to take pictures of such an expensive thing, Jiang Xiaoya purely wanted to talk about it in the future, and when she bragged with others, she would light up the photos and let others know that she had also been to a high-end restaurant, which was not green tea, but just a normal thought of an ordinary person.
Xu Yujia was a little embarrassed and didn't want to take pictures, which seemed a little embarrassing, but seeing that the two companions had already taken pictures, she also let go of that restraint and took photos seriously.
"Click", "click", "click", ......
The sound of taking pictures kept sounding, and Hao Ren and Chen Yao were a little helpless, but they were also with them.
On the side, a waiter came over, uncorked the wine for them, poured the red wine into a professional decanter, and shook it gently.
After the decanting, the other party poured some red wine for each of them, and Hao Ren also tasted a sip of more than 20,000 bottles of wine, which was extremely mellow, with a slight sweetness, and a fragrance of grapes.
Chen Yao and Xu Yujia also took a sip, Chen Yao showed a smile, Qin Wen smacked her mouth, feeling that there was nothing good to drink, and it was not as good as the juice in the store.
Jiang Xiaoya and Xu Yujia were intoxicated, they didn't understand the quality of red wine, but what they drank was not the taste, but the brand, the price, 20,000 bottles of red wine to drink, and bragging knew how to blow.
Red wine with foie gras, salt-baked snails, Xu Yujia They all ate with relish, but Hao Ren did not forget his original intention and kept in mind the purpose of his visit this time.
Casually beckoned the waiter not far away, and the other party smiled politely and said, "Sir, what do you need me to do for you?" ”
"Call your chef and manager."
Hao Ren said flatly.
Hearing Hao Ren's words, Xu Yujia and the others suddenly remembered the business of this dinner, and they couldn't help but glance at each other, feeling a little ashamed.
However, when the waiter heard Hao Ren's words, he asked a little puzzled, "Sir, is it something that doesn't suit your appetite?" ”
"Almost, you called them."
Hao Ren's tone was a little heavier.
"Okay, please wait."
The waiter had a look of panic on his face and hurriedly left to call the chef and the manager.
Chen Yao looked at Hao Ren with interest, she had seen with her own eyes the situation where Hao Ren sold soy sauce before, which was a repeat of the old trick.
Jiang Xiaoya and the others stopped eating, quietly waiting for the arrival of the chef.
Soon, a foreign man wearing a chef's hat and a woman in a suit rushed over, no way, Hao Ren spent more than 30,000 yuan on this meal, and now he is dissatisfied, and the restaurant must give an explanation.
The customer is God, and God is infallible!
"Distinguished customers, I'm sorry to disturb your meal, I'm the manager of this restaurant, Hu Lin, this is the chef who prepares the food for you, Jon, I want to ask, where are we not doing well enough, or is there a problem with the dishes?"
As soon as Manager Hu Lin came up, he apologized respectfully, and asked Hao Ren the reason for his dissatisfaction by the way.
The chef on the side was also puzzled, he was very confident in his cooking skills, and it was impossible to make mistakes.
"Well, it's not a matter of cooking, it's about the ingredients."
Hao Ren looked at the other party's respectful attitude, and also said with a smile.
"Ingredients? Sir, our ingredients are all the best, beef, red wine are all flown from abroad, and there is even an appraisal certificate, there will be no fake! ”
Hearing this, Hu Lin hurriedly shook his head and denied it, for a restaurant, you can say that the chef's skills are not good, but if there is a problem with the ingredients, this restaurant will not need to be opened, especially for high-end restaurants!
However, she didn't lie, all the ingredients are selected from the best, and it is impossible to entertain customers with defective products, otherwise, it would be a fool to be a customer in a restaurant.
"I didn't say you used defective products, I mean it's still not good enough!"
Hao Ren opened his mouth in a deep voice, said, took his handbag, and took out the things from it one by one, Hu Lin and Jon were both surprised, eating in the restaurant, I will endure it if you bring fruit, and even bring ham, potatoes, is this looking down on the restaurant?
Okay, I'll put up with the potatoes too, but you bring salt!!
it, and ketchup!!
No, how can there be juice!!
They were already sluggish, Xu Yujia, Jiang Xiaoya, they all lowered their heads with a little blush, only Qin Wen looked at Hao Ren with a look of adoration.
When Hao Ren took it all out, Hao Ren looked at Jon and showed a mouthful of big white teeth, "In this way, you can use my salt and tomato sauce to make a Western meal." ”
"Make some mashed potatoes for potatoes, and for fruit and yogurt, make some fruit yogurt and pour the juice for us."
Hearing this, Manager Hu Lin finally reacted, is this disgusting that their things are not delicious, and bring their own ingredients?
Go to a high-end restaurant to spend more than 30,000 yuan, and bring your own ingredients?
Are you insulting me?
Although Jon is a foreigner, he has lived in China for many years, and he understands Hao Ren's words, and a touch of anger rises in his heart.
You can say that what I make is not tasty, but you can't insult me with this behavior!
He was about to speak, but was stopped by Hu Lin, the manager took a deep breath, and then stepped forward to pick up Hao Ren's things, which looked ordinary, the most ordinary on the market, but with a black and gold "Hao" label.
She looked up at Hao Ren with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Sir, are you sure you want to use your own things?"
It's not that restaurants can't bring their own ingredients, but once this behavior happens badly, the restaurant will also be unlucky, so basically all restaurants refuse to bring their own ingredients, not just to make money.
Customers have to bring it, and they can't do it, so they have to prepare some measures.
Seeing Hao Ren nodding, although Hu Lin was helpless, he still said politely, "Okay, sir, but we have to take samples of these things for backup, and we also need you to sign a letter of responsibility, if there is food poisoning or other things, it has nothing to do with us." ”
For insurance, she even moved out the liability letter.
However, this is also a helpless thing, people who can eat in high-end restaurants are not bad money, they all have some status in society, and once there is a dispute, the restaurant will also be unlucky!
So, even if she offends some customers, she says it out in advance.
Hao Ren didn't care at all, when he heard this, he nodded, and agreed with a smile, "No problem, if any bad consequences occur, we will bear them ourselves!" ”
Seeing this, Hu Lin asked people to take the ingredients away for backup, and at the same time brought five letters of responsibility and asked them to sign them, to the effect that if they ate the ingredients they brought, and there were adverse effects, it was their own problem.
Xu Yujia and Chen Yao all signed very happily, and after signing, Hu Lin took the letter of responsibility down, and then asked Jon to make another copy.
"By the way, after you're done with what I brought, make one of your own, I want to know which one is better."
Hao Ren finally added.
In order to ensure that there are no accidents, Hu Lin deliberately went into the back kitchen this time and watched the whole process.
Jon made a serving of pasta and salt-baked snails with Hao Jen's salt and tomato sauce.
Chop the fruit and mix with the yogurt.
As for the potatoes, after steaming, they are mixed with some salt, crushed and made into mashed potatoes.
Of course, after using Hao Ren's ingredients and seasonings, he also made exactly the same thing from the restaurant.
In just thirty minutes, the new ingredients are delivered.
Hao Ren looked at the ingredients in front of him, smiled slightly, and used a new knife and fork to divide the pasta into seven portions.
Mixed with a bit of tomato sauce, the pasta is firm and springy, with an extremely refreshing feel.
Hao Ren only took a bite, and the pasta was gone, Chen Yao and Xu Yujia also took a bite, their eyes lit up, and they all had an aftertaste on their faces.
"Taste it too."
Hao Ren said to Hu Lin and Jon.
Hearing this, both of them were a little curious, but they still picked up the fork and took a bite of the pasta made with Hao Ren's things.
The moment they entered, their eyes lit up, especially Jon, as a chef, he knew what level he was and what the food tasted like.
However, in this attempt, he clearly felt that the food was even more delicious this time.
Although Hu Lin on the side is not a chef, as a restaurant manager, she is also very familiar with the taste of each dish, and the taste of pasta this time is obviously beyond the normal level!
Hao Ren immediately took a bite of the pasta made with their ingredients, and before he could eat a bite, he frowned, people have to die than people, and the goods have to be thrown away, and the two are compared, this pasta is more than a step worse!
Hu Lin and Jon didn't wait for Hao Ren to speak, they also tasted it, and then their brows were furrowed, they also noticed the difference between the two servings, one person made it, just the seasoning is different, there is such a huge difference.
Hao Ren didn't say anything and continued to taste the next dish.
"Taste the salt-baked snails again."
After taking a bite, the meat of the snail is extremely tender, and the fishy smell is removed with ginger, which tastes just right. Hao Ren has nothing to find fault with.
This time, Manager Hu and Jon also tried it, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, and before Hao Ren could say anything, they rushed to taste it.
After tasting it, they also tasted what they made with their own ingredients, and they all frowned.
They probably won't say anything if they haven't tasted it, but when they compare the two, they have a standard.
However, this is far from the end, there are also mashed potatoes, yogurt, fruits, and finally a glass of juice is poured, and Hao Ren and they are all extremely happy to eat.
Hulin, Jon also tasted different flavors, each of them, is the delicacy that crushes their restaurant!
Hao Ren looked at them with interest, wanting to know what the other party had to say.
"Sir, I'm sorry, let all the VIPs have a not too good dining experience, so let's do it, our restaurant will give Mr. a 20% discount on today's meal, which can be regarded as an expression of our apologies."
Hu Lin was silent for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said suddenly.
"At the same time, I would like to ask, sir, where did you buy all these ingredients?"
