Chapter 554: There's a Problem with This Ingredient
"Waiter, please call your manager over." While Gu Zhihao, who got the exact answer, was very angry, the unicorn arm was already aching.
So...... With a wave of his hand, he shouted to the waitress not far away. Seeing this, other students who didn't know the situation couldn't help but show it
The little expression of the "black question mark face" comes. The waiter also greeted him with a puzzled face, looked at the dishes on the table quietly, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, before he asked with a smile: "Sir, if you have any problems, I can also help you solve it." ”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to solve this matter, so call your manager over!" Gu Zhihao didn't want to be verbose, he just wanted to find someone who could take charge to solve this problem.
These words made the waiter look dazed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he had to bite the bullet and continue to ask: "This gentleman, is there anything wrong with the food?" ”
"It's really a meal, it's not to taste, it's second, the main thing is that there is a problem with this ingredient, you hurry up and call your manager over!" Gu Zhihao's voice couldn't help but raise N decibels, with a little dissatisfaction in his words.
This made the waitress realize the seriousness of the situation, and also knew that this thorny problem could not be solved by her as a waiter.
She said apologetically, "Wait a minute, I'll call the manager for you." After saying that, she went to the office to find the manager with an uneasy feeling.
As soon as the waiter left, Lin Qing wondered and asked, "Zhihao, what's the matter?" Why did you suddenly have such a big fire? Gu Zhihao replied: "This lobster is not a Canadian lobster." As soon as these words came out, the students present were surprised and began to talk about it.
"What? Not a Canadian lobster? But the hotel is under the sign of Canada! ”
"No, this is a three-star hotel, I often come to eat, the quality of this lobster is still quite good!"
"This can be said, many unscrupulous businesses now have a very black heart, and treat consumers as fools."
"But after all, this is a three-star hotel, so it's impossible to do this kind of thing to defraud consumers, right?"
"Zhihao, how do you know that this lobster is not a Canadian lobster?" There are many students, and it is still a little unbelievable.
Gu Zhihao said with a serious face: "The question I raised, Brother Tao is sure. As soon as they heard that Huang Tao was sure, everyone immediately chose to believe it.
First, the prestige of Huang Tao's squad leader is still there. The second is that Huang Tao is now a chef, and he must know more about the cognition and identification of ingredients than ordinary diners like them.
At this time. A well-dressed middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses followed the waiter with a serious face and walked into the box quickly.
As soon as he walked to the dining table, he showed a smile and introduced himself: "Hello gentlemen, I am the general manager of Holiday International Hotel, and my surname is Qin. ”
"Do you need anything to find me?" Gu Zhihao went straight to the point: "Manager Qin, may I ask where the lobster you use today comes from?" ”
"Sir, the lobsters we are serving today are top-quality lobsters from the Western waters of Canada." Manager Qin replied unhurriedly.
"Oh? Canadian, are you sure? Gu Zhihao looked at Manager Qin, raised his eyebrows, and asked.
Manager Qin nodded and agreed: "Of course you are sure, all the lobsters in our store are Canadian lobsters, please rest assured, we are a three-star hotel, and the quality has always been guaranteed......" On this issue, the two of them argued word by word.
Because Gu Zhihao couldn't say why, Manager Qin insisted that the lobster in the store was a Canadian lobster, which brought the situation to an impasse.
The other students saw it in their eyes and were anxious in their hearts, but they were helpless and couldn't help. They looked sideways at Huang Tao eagerly, looking like they were looking for help.
In fact, if these classmates don't ask for help, Huang Tao will also stand up and tell the facts: "Manager Qin, I also tasted this plate of lobster just now, and it tastes good, but this plate of lobster is not a Canadian lobster, but a Boston lobster." Gu Zhihao said helpfully: "That is, the lobster used in this plate of lobster vermicelli is not the Canadian lobster you are talking about at all." Manager Qin said in disbelief: "Impossible! Our hotel is all purchased through regular channels! The lobsters are all Canadian lobsters! The purchase list also says Canadian lobster, if you have any doubts, I can show you the purchase list. "Could it be that there is a problem with the purchasing department?
It shouldn't be! Manager Qin, who recognized Huang Tao, couldn't help but wonder in his heart, but in the end, he pinched off his bad thoughts, and then hurriedly whispered to the waiter on the side, asking her to notify the person in charge of the purchasing department and ask the other party to bring the purchase list over, wanting to prove her innocence.
Now, Gu Zhihao and other classmates will not be able to be rectified! One by one, they looked at each other, a little overwhelmed!
But Gu Zhihao is very sure that there are still differences between the taste of lobster in this plate of lobster vermicelli and the taste of Canadian lobster, but he can't say why the specific differences are.
At this time, Huang Tao spoke: "If what I know is correct, Canadian lobster and Boston lobster are actually lobster species that live in the same sea, and the scientific name is American lobster. They all belong to the genus Crayfish of the decapod family Chelsea lobster, mainly distributed in the Atlantic coast of North America, the main fishing countries are Canada and the United States, of which Canada's production is higher, whether it is Canadian lobster or Boston lobster, in fact, they are American crayfish, the species is the same, its appearance is characterized by the first three pairs of feet are chelated, and Canadian lobster has two different chelae, one is crust, the other is spiny chela. If you look closely at a lobster, you will see that some lobsters have their claws on the right side, while others have their claws on the left. ”
"It's not true to say that there is no difference between Boston lobsters and Canadian lobsters, because Canada is located further north than Maine, and the sea is colder, so lobsters grow more slowly, have a longer growing season, and are stronger. In addition, the Canadian lobster fishing season is to stagger the lobster shelling period, which ensures that most of the lobsters caught are hard-shell lobsters, and the shrimp meat is fuller and more nutritious! ”
"So the meat of the Canadian lobster is more delicious than the Boston lobster, and the meat is more delicate and plump."
"As long as you've eaten Canadian lobster and Boston lobster, you can tell the difference." While Huang Tao said, he also showed Manager Qin the difference of this plate of lobster.
Manager Qin understood and confronted the person in charge of procurement. Knowing that Canadian lobsters were out of stock, the person in charge of purchasing today was clever enough to replace them with Boston lobsters, which led to this unpleasant episode.
Manager Qin and the person in charge of purchasing bowed deeply with an apologetic face: "Everyone, I'm really sorry, it was our mistake, Mr. Huang Tao, your opinion is very professional, we will improve it well, and this hotel really needs guests like you who are very proficient in ingredients, often come to the hotel to supervise, and give more valuable advice." ”
"In this way, all the consumption of Mr. Huang Tao and all the students in this hotel tonight is free, and the KTV box fee upstairs is also free." Manager Qin instructed the waiter to serve wine and food, drank two glasses of wine with everyone, and after expressing his apologies, he said goodbye and left to go to other boxes where he ordered lobsters.
Of course, this matter is not over yet, and it needs to be thoroughly investigated. You can't spoil a pot of porridge because of a rat droppings! Lin Qing sighed: "It's worthy of being a chef!" Knowing is more! ”
"In the future, when I go there to eat and drink, I have to bring our Brother Tao with me, so that we can sweep mines." Huang Tao laughed dumbly.
At this moment, a cold electronic sound sounded in his head.
