Chapter 15: Two steaks
Nemo was very happy, "Brother Bug, sister-in-law, you are right, and sister-in-law, Mr. Shen and Anne are very good, you haven't met them yet, have you?" β
I was afraid of Nemo's mouth, so I hurriedly said to him, "Nemo, what have you come to the city for?" β
"Oh, I'm going to buy some needlework for Da Sook, and I want to buy another knife, this time I want to buy a pure steel."
"Well, yes, your previous iron knife has been sharpened to the point that it has no steel blade, and it should have been replaced a long time ago. Wife, give Nemo some money, he needs a steel knife so badly. β
Luna glared at me, pulled out her purse, took out five pounds and handed it to Nemo, who happily took it, "Thank you, sister-in-law." β
Then he turned and ran away. The crowd of onlookers also dispersed.
Luna glared at me, "Shouldn't you let go now?" β
I reluctantly let go of the hands that were holding her arm, and Luna looked at me playfully, and I could see that my heart was furious.
Luna nodded, "You don't even want a face to get this bracelet." β
I grinned at Luna, "You are also turning your hands into clouds and your hands into rain. Admire, admire! β
"Aren't you hungry, what do you want to eat?"
"Whatever, I'm not a picky eater."
"Then follow me!" With that, Luna took the lead and I followed her.
"Actually, I don't really want to fight with you for this bracelet, you blasted me out of the house yesterday, and today you gathered so many people to deal with me, no one can swallow this breath, so you invite me to a meal, just apologize, I have a lot of adults, so I won't pursue it, and by the way, I will return this bracelet to you." As I walked, Luna didn't seem to hear me, and led me straight to a palatial hotel.
When I saw the Crowne Plaza Hotel, I secretly complained in my heart, and in the morning I had heard Qian Yan say that he was going to entertain Tanaka and Tomoko at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Unexpectedly, I ran outside for a turn, and I was about to meet here again, and I stopped thinking of this.
Luna gave me a puzzled look, "Why aren't you leaving?" β
"Actually, just eat a little, you don't have to spend so much, let's change to a small shop."
"If I don't feast you here, how can I represent my sincerity?" Luna playfully said, "Aren't you scared anymore?" I can be sincere. β
I said stiffly, "What am I afraid of?" I'm just worried that the food won't be delicious. β
Luna said coldly, "I guess you're the first one to go to the Crowne Plaza Hotel for dinner and worry about it." β
"Cut, whether the food in the restaurant is delicious or not has nothing to do with the hotel decoration."
This time Luna said she knew, "That's right, Wood told me about you, you used to hunt together, you had a picnic together, and he came back and told me how good the game you made was, and told me to go with me next time I hunted." β
I was immediately full of confidence, "Well, then next time we'll go hunting together, we'll have another game meal, ha, it's nice to think about." β
While talking, we walked into the hotel together and came to the restaurant.
The dΓ©cor of the Crowne Plaza Hotel is very magnificent, and the marble floor seems to be able to illuminate the human face.
The restaurant was on the second floor, and we chose a window seat in the lobby.
Through the glass, you can see the Australian Museum, the Parliament Building, and the library.
The Glo River is a river that flows through Bryden, the river is clear and beautiful, so Australia took the opportunity to build a new capital in Bryden to cut off the Glo River with a dam. Soon, a lake appeared in front of the Crowne Plaza Hotel, and the hotel was approached, but the water and sky were visible, and people enjoyed the scenery and delicious food at the same time, which became the most attractive feature of the Crowne Plaza Hotel.
Like the restaurant in the town, the diners are all poor people, and it is good to be able to eat a full stomach, where can you take care of the surrounding environment.
I regret it a little, I should have called Nemo with me if I had known that Luna had brought me to a hotel like this for dinner.
Looking around the dining room, tables of mahogany tables filled the hall, men in suits and leather shoes, talking and laughing, and those ladies were even brightly dressed, eating their meals elegantly, sometimes being amused by those men, full of spring breeze.
Fortunately, I am now wearing a brand new set of clothes that Piyu bought for me, which suits the environment here, and if I still wear the cloth clothes that hunt in the wasteland every day, I guess I will be treated as a little beggar who asks for food.
The waiter brought the menu, Luna only ordered one dessert, she asked me what I was eating, I asked for two steaks and a glass of wine, I peeked at the menu, "Oh my god, a steak costs five pounds." β
Luna smiled, "Since I invite you, I naturally have to be sincere." β
Suddenly, a voice shouted, "Oh my God, what kind of steak is this, it's rubbish, it tastes like chewing wood, what a steak, you see, it's about to be grilled into charcoals." β
You don't need to look at people, as soon as you hear the voice, you know it's Piyou.
Sure enough, I followed the sound to find Piyu, who was sitting at a large table with Kanan, Tanaka, and Tomoko.
The table is full of food, and Piyu is complaining about the taste of the food.
Looking at her exaggerated expression, I couldn't help but laugh.
Luna looked at me puzzled, "What are you laughing at?" β
"Hehe, did you hear that, I am not the only one who said that the food at the Crowne Plaza Hotel is not delicious."
Luna's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "It's not delicious, you do it yourself." β
I suddenly felt that this joke was sarcastic, so I chose to keep my mouth shut.
It's just that I just ordered a steak, and Piyu said that the steak was not delicious, and I was really worried. Wouldn't it be a great waste if a good steak was grilled into charcoals?
I said hello to Luna, "I'll come as soon as I go." β
Luna thought I was going to the bathroom and ignored it. When I got up, I looked around for the kitchen.
I heard the restaurant manager talking to Piyu, "Miss, I'm sorry to have affected your meal, I'll ask the chef to re-grill a steak for you." β
At this time, Qian Yan also complained: "Ernie, your food is really getting worse and worse. Could it be that the big gold tooth is also like me? Can't afford to hire a good chef? β
Ernie, the director of the restaurant, apologized repeatedly: "Mr. Stantier, I'm really sorry to affect your mood. I'll reschedule right away. β
With that, Ernie walked towards the kitchen with the plate of steak.
Ernie passed by me, smiled politely at me, and I smiled at him, and when he passed, I quietly followed him into the kitchen.
The head chef was a fat man, round, and seemed to be fatter than a cat.
He saw Ernie walk into the kitchen and put the work in his hand, Ernie took the steak and said to him: "Fat chef, this steak is very dissatisfied with the guest, please make another one, you must pay attention to the color, the heat is mastered, that guest is very picky." β
The fat chef looked down at the steak, "I made this steak myself, no problem!" Ernie, did you have the intention of looking for our kitchen? β
I laughed in my heart, it seems that the front hall and kitchen of this hotel are not compatible, otherwise the fat chef would not have said such a thing.
I suddenly interjected: "Mr. Ernie, how did our hotel kitchen turn into such a mess, no wonder you want to invite me, these chefs should really be replaced."
After speaking, he walked into the kitchen, picked up the condiments one by one or smelled or tasted, or looked at or pinched, and quickly became familiar with these condiments.
The fat chef barked like a cat with its tail stepped on, "Ernie, I already knew that you kid had a bad idea, and now you actually put your hand into the kitchen." β
Ernie was baffled by the sudden situation, but the fat chef didn't give up: "Ernie, you don't go to inquire, in the whole city of Brydon, my fat chef's name, I came to the hotel much earlier than you, you kid wants to yin me no way." β
I baked a few steaks and pork chops over a charcoal fire. The argument between Fat Chef and Ernie continued, and Ernie realized that I had come strangely as an uninvited guest, and pointed at me and said to Fat Chef, "He ...... He ......, I didn't invite him. β
As soon as I saw that the diorama was about to be torn down, I said loudly, "Ernie, what are you afraid of, didn't you want to tidy up the kitchen a long time ago?" If you want me to say that today is the right time. β
The fat chef suddenly came to his senses and said to Ernie viciously: "Ernie, Ming people don't do dark things, at first glance, dare not do it?" Don't pretend to be confused with me, who doesn't know, you are bent on climbing up, you haven't been a front desk supervisor for a few days, and you want to control the kitchen again? Isn't the big guy going to call you the restaurant manager in advance? β
Ernie couldn't suppress his anger anymore, "Fatty, don't show off your old qualifications in front of me, the quality of this steak is not up to par, and the guests complain, can you afford it?" β
While the two of them were arguing, I had already grilled a few steaks.
Suddenly, the fat chef snorted hard, "This smells ......", and then looked at me.
Ernie also came over with Fat Chef.
I smiled, "Fat chef, I'm kidding you, I don't know Ernie, let alone a chef, it's just that a guest said that the steak was not delicious today, and I just ordered the steak, and it was a double portion, I was worried that my steak would also be ruined by your apprentices, so I had to reluctantly do it myself." β
Ernie exclaimed, "Oh, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about the making of barbecue, sir. β
Ernie said that it damaged the fat chef's cooking skills. The fat chef's face is about to turn into pork liver.
I don't want to be a gunman for Ernie, "Actually, it's not that there's a problem with the fat chef's craftsmanship at all, the problem is in the ingredients." The steaks in your hotel are wrapped in ice, but unfortunately after the ice cubes melt, the ingredients come into contact with the water, which not only changes color, but also loses their freshness. β
The fat chef finally found a reason to fight back, "I heard no, or this little brother is right, I have long said that fresh ingredients should be used." The meat delivered by those freezer trucks simply doesn't make a delicious meal. β
Ernie also nodded repeatedly, "It seems that we still have to find a way from the source." β
The fat chef regained face, and stopped working against Ernie, "Little brother, you mean to stock up on more fresh meat?" β
"Well, of course, preferably game that has just been hunted in the last day or two." The fat chef nodded repeatedly.
Ernie was shocked, "But where do you find so much game?" β
I continued: "Your hotel now buys from butchers, but many of them also go out of town to buy meat from hunters. It's just that after they changed hands, it has been delayed, and besides, the game in the hands of the hunters actually doesn't know how long it has been released. β
Ernie and Fat Chef nodded in approval. "The best thing to do is for you to contact the hunters directly and get them to deliver the game to the hotel as soon as possible, and it doesn't matter if the price is higher, you would have sold for five pounds for a steak. Five pounds is a month's salary for an average worker. With such a high price, let alone beef, I estimate that human flesh can be eaten. β
I continued: "There is a man named Nemo in the small town of Wenzhe, and he often has the meat of the beasts he has just hunted, and the ingredients are absolutely fresh, so I asked him to send you a few first, and you can try it, it is far fresher than the meat now. These few steaks of mine are the ones that I found for a long time from so many steaks to find a decent one. β
"I'll take two pieces, and you can send the rest to the table at Qianyan." Ernie thanked him again and again, turned around and served the steak out himself.
I picked up two steaks and was about to go out when the fat chef grabbed me, "You're a hunter, aren't you?" β
I was stunned, how did this guy see it.
The fat chef looked proud, "Let me tell you, your way of roasting meat is a wild way, and ordinary hunters will roast it like this." β
I raised my big finger and said, "Tall, good eyesight, it's true." β
The fat chef laughed, "Brother, you're a friend, I've made a deal, just let the Nemo you said come to me, and it's good to mention the fat chef here." β
Then he whispered to me, "However, you have to teach me your barbecue skills when you have time, your barbecue skills are not the same as those of other hunters." β
"Yes, I'll often come to your kitchen to steal food from now on."
The fat chef grinned, "Then I'm always welcome." Brother walks slowly. β
I walked out of the kitchen with the steak and couldn't help but be a little amused, the fat chef is actually very shrewd, and cooking can be learned, but I don't understand that there is a thing called talent.
This gift may be a gift from God to everyone, and it is not something that can be acquired by learning.
For example, Nemo's knife skills, my marksmanship, and I even saw a child herding sheep, who was panting to drive the sheep, but he just threw stones, and whichever sheep left the group, it would be hit accurately by the flying stones.
Still, it's nice to find a good market for Nemo's and Nemo's meat. I think that when I hunt wild beasts in the future, it is best to save my life, and if I can get to the fat chef alive, this guy will be very happy.
I returned to my seat and put two steaks on my table.
Luna's eyes widened, "Are you a waitress at this hotel?" Why do you have to do it yourself? β
"Of course not, their meat is not well roasted, and I am not at ease, so I have to do it myself."
Luna couldn't help but laugh, "You're amazing! β
"Hehe, try my craft, you should praise me in a moment."
As soon as the words fell, Pi You had already exclaimed, "This steak tastes good, much better than the one just now." β
Tomoko was also very excited, "It's really delicious, brother, you can taste it too." β
Qian Yan and Tanaka looked suspiciously at the two girls eating there, wondering how the steak could suddenly become delicious.
It wasn't until you ate it that you understood the true meaning. Qian Yan was pleasantly surprised: "This is the best steak I've ever had here, no, it's the best steak I've ever eaten in Australia." β
Luna also seemed attracted by the wafting aroma of the steak, "Their portion of the steak was also made by you." β
I smiled, "Takami." β
The aroma of the steak spread, and Luna looked at my steak, her fingers on the table moved slightly, and I guess this was the movement of my index finger.
Even Wood fell in love with my barbecue, and a large part of the reason why he wanted to go hunting with me again was to taste my craft during the hunt.
I cut the steak and pushed it in front of her, "Come on, taste my craft." β
Luna looked at me, "Are you sure you didn't poison?" β
