Chapter 243: Happiness is really comparative
He came to Jingzhou because he had some personal matters to deal with, but he happened to see on Zhang Zuting's Weibo that there was a good private kitchen restaurant here, so he planned to come and try it.
As a result, the current situation is a bit unpleasant.
"So, tonight, can I make an appointment?" Young people strive to maintain their manners.
The waiter apologized: "I'm sorry sir, someone has already chartered the venue tonight, considering the time to deliver the ingredients, you can make an appointment for tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow." ”
The young man was completely speechless, he looked at the waiter, then at the menu, resisted the urge to complain, and ordered two dishes and one soup casually.
"Let's do it first." The young man handed the menu back.
"Yes sir, please wait." The waiter places the order and leaves with the menu.
The young man took out his mobile phone and tried to search the store on the review website, but he couldn't find it. There is not even a location for this store on the map of the phone.
Not only that, but the small sign on the table with the table number also has a warm reminder: "In order to better feel the deliciousness of the ingredients, please do not take pictures!" ”
I think of so many good dishes written on the menu of this store, but all of them need to be reserved, and all of them need to be reserved, and all the dishes that do not need to be reserved are some regular home-cooked dishes, and the price is still expensive......
“…… Could it be that I have encountered a black shop? ”
The more young people think about it, the more wrong it becomes, and they always feel that this store is a little weird.
His name is Xue Zhebin, the only son of coal boss Xue Yuanqing, and he is a veritable rich second generation in layman's terms. is high-profile and flamboyant, like his father, he has never been afraid to show the image of an upstart in front of everyone.
Xue Zhebin is very rich, and naturally he has eaten a lot of private chefs, and he also knows that most high-end private chefs inevitably have some strange rules.
But it's really not common to have so many rules like this.
What made him even more unhappy was the waiter's attitude, always saying a few useless nonsense words in a polite manner, it was better not to say it.
If it weren't for the fact that the decoration of this restaurant really looks very high-end and has been highly recommended by Zhang Zuting, he may have wanted to slap the table and leave by now.
Speaking of which, it was mainly because his father Xue Yuanqing was a fan of Zhang Zuting and invited Zhang Zuting to dinner a few times, so Xue Zhebin paid attention to Zhang Zuting's Weibo and happened to see the information of this private kitchen.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to find the door himself.
"Wait, if the food doesn't taste good for a while, you must post on Weibo to debunk this place!"
Xue Zhebin, in line with the principle of killing a good person, decided to wait and see.
If the two dishes you ordered are okay, make a reservation for tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow.
After more than half an hour, the two dishes ordered by Xue Zhebin were served.
A dish of Longjing shrimp, a piece of pagoda meat, and a soup, chrysanthemum tofu.
The portion is small, but the price is not cheap at all.
"It's not slow to serve food."
Xue Zhebin knew that pagoda meat was a time-consuming dish, not only to cut, but also to steam, and it was already fast for more than half an hour.
And while waiting for the dishes, he also ate a little bit of hearts and side dishes, which tasted very good, and it was a little relieved of the anxiety of waiting for the dishes to be served.
"Whether it's a black store or not, it will be revealed immediately."
Xue Zhebin looked at the two dishes brought by the waiter.
He deliberately ordered a dish of pagoda meat and a chrysanthemum tofu, because he knew very well that these two dishes were very testing of the chef's knife skills and skills.
"Huh? It turned out to be not bad? ”
Just seeing the appearance of these two dishes at first glance makes people feel like they are bright!
Pagoda meat requires the chef to cut a whole piece of meat from the outside to the inside, layer by layer, the knife is continuous, the thickness is even, and finally cut into a long and neat thin slice, and then put it into a special mold to roll up layer by layer to form a pagoda state.
The chrysanthemum tofu needs to cut a piece of tender tofu like clotted fat into one hundred and eight knives horizontally and vertically, cut into a ball of filaments, uniform thickness, and there can be no break, put it in a bowl of water like a chrysanthemum blooming.
Xue Zhebin ordered this dish and soup, mainly to see if this restaurant is not worthy of its name and whether it is a cheat.
As for the Longjing shrimp, I was mainly worried that the pagoda meat and chrysanthemum tofu would not be delicious, so I ordered a home-cooked dish to guarantee the bottom.
However, to his surprise, the pagoda meat and chrysanthemum tofu exceeded his expectations!
These two dishes are mainly a test of knife skills, and it takes decades of hard work by first-line chefs to achieve perfection.
And these two dishes have no limits, like pagoda meat, the thinner the cut, the more layers, generally cut to nine layers, it can be regarded as qualified pagoda meat, and the ones served here have been cut to seventeen layers, and those common pagoda meat has been crushed from the appearance.
Xue Zhebin couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and tasted the shrimp first.
The shrimp is tender and smooth, and it also has the fragrance of Longjing, although this dish is nearly three hundred yuan, Xue Zhebin thinks it is worth it.
Because he once ate this dish in a great Chinese restaurant in Hangzhou, and the taste is very similar to here!
I tasted pagoda meat and chrysanthemum tofu again, and the taste did not disappoint him, all just right!
Coupled with the warm and comfortable dining environment, Xue Zhebin felt as if he had really misunderstood this restaurant.
To make these dishes, you must have to invite a gold medal chef who is good at Hangzhou cuisine, and there will definitely be no such person in Jingzhou.
What's more, there are not only Hangzhou dishes on this menu, but also many other dishes!
It's not enough to hire just one chef.
After all, people can make a lot of money in local high-end restaurants, and they are close to home, who wants to come all the way to Jingzhou?
With so many chefs, that's a lot of money.
Can you earn it back?
Before, Xue Zhebin thought that the prices of the dishes on this menu were too expensive, but after tasting two bites, he felt that it seemed that it was not expensive, but a little cheaper.
Can it really pay for itself?
The main reason is that this store is too obscure, not to mention publicity and advertising, there is not even a signboard at the door, and even Xue Zhebin still doesn't know what this restaurant is called.
It was the standard time for lunch, and it turned out that there was only one customer in the huge restaurant, Xue Zhebin.
Isn't this pure loss of money?
Xue Zhebin looked at the dishes, then at the waiter waiting with a smile next to him, and then at the elegant dining environment, high-end and exquisite tables, chairs and tableware in this place......
"Is it possible...... What are the illegal and criminal activities in this? ”
Xue Zhebin was instantly alert.
But when you think about it, it doesn't seem right.
The key is that this restaurant is not an empty shell, although there are no customers, but the things sold are genuine, the price is a little higher, but it is still within a reasonable range.
Judging from all indications, this store is simply not well-known, and there are no other doubts.
"Come back tomorrow and see what the dishes that need to be reserved here are like."
"If we can maintain this standard...... That's a real treasure! ”
……
The back kitchen of Mingyun's private kitchen.
Lin Canrong asked the waiter a little nervously: "How is it, are the guests still satisfied with our dishes?" ”
The waiter nodded: "Well, it looks like I'm still very satisfied." ”
Lin Canrong let out a sigh of relief.
That's good!
During this time, there have been no customers, and since the day before yesterday, seven or eight customers have come one after another.
But some of them were scared away by a glance at the menu, and some of them asked for a long time and found that many good dishes needed to be reserved, and they also left.
There are only two or three people who really stay to eat, but they order very home-cooked dishes, although it can be seen that they are quite satisfied with the taste of the dishes, but most of them will not come back in the short term.
Because the pricing is too expensive, it is obviously beyond their affordability.
It can be seen from the dishes they order that some of the cheapest vegetables here cost fifty or sixty yuan, and even if they all order home-cooked food, the per capita consumption will have to run for more than 100.
In Jingzhou, you can already eat a lot of good things at this price.
Therefore, even if the chef's level is high and the ingredients are better, and these dishes are much better than those in the restaurants outside, it is still beyond the capacity of most ordinary people.
But today, as soon as Xue Zhebin came in, Lin Canrong targeted him.
It can be seen that this is a master who is not bad for money.
Xue Zhebin's ordering also verified this, he ordered more than 300 Longjing shrimps, and more than 260 gold medal pagoda meat, and this meal easily added up to six or seven hundred yuan.
If this customer, who is not short of money, can be satisfied with these dishes, it means that Mingyun Private Chef has the hope of fire!
After all, Mingyun's private chef is not facing ordinary people, it is a local tyrant, and the feedback of the local tyrant is the most important.
After hearing that this customer was satisfied with the dish, Lin Canrong also breathed a sigh of relief.
He is now the manager of the store, and he no longer cooks personally, but now several chefs in the back kitchen are personally interviewed, selected, and dug up with a lot of money (of course, it costs Mr. Pei's money), and now that the dishes have been affirmed, Lin Canrong will of course feel a little proud.
"Manager, the guest has already checked out and left, and has made a reservation for dinner tomorrow night!" A waiter rushed to report the good news.
"Good!"
Lin Canrong's hanging heart finally let go.
Before Mr. Pei said that he should not worry too much about publicity, Lin Canrong was still a little worried.
But recently, I saw people coming over one after another, and such a rich local tyrant came to eat, which shows that the propaganda work has been going on in an orderly manner!
Sure enough, everything was in Mr. Pei's plan.
Next, as long as you follow Mr. Pei's instructions and conscientiously do a good job in every dish and service, Mingyun's private kitchen will become popular, and it will be just around the corner!
The chefs and waiters of Mingyun's private chef were also full of enthusiasm in an instant.
……
……
"Ahh
Pei Qian sneezed, rubbed his nose and lowered the handle.
Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
Tonight, I will also wash Qiao Liang in Mingyun's private kitchen, and soothe his injured soul by the way.
After being abused for a day, Pei Qian now wants to see how Qiao Laoshi is doing.
Come to the Touch Fish Internet Cafe.
Pei Qian quietly walked up to the second floor and observed Qiao Liang sitting in the corner.
I saw Qiao Liang's face pale, staring at the screen intently, holding the handle with both hands, and his body falling to the side from time to time, as if he was playing a somatosensory game.
Suddenly, his body trembled violently, and his whole body froze.
The screen has turned gray.
Qiao Liang's expression changed from stunned to annoyed, then from chagrin to despair, and finally from despair to dazed.
He placed the handle on the table and looked up at the ceiling slightly, as if doubting life and the meaning of his existence.
Seeing Qiao Liang's expression, Pei Qian's heart was much more comfortable, and the corners of his mouth were filled with smiles.
Not in vain!
Inviting Qiao Laoshi to Jingzhou is really the right choice!
Pei Qian was originally worried, because he was not a Jit M player, and he didn't know if he could stick to it in "Turning Back".
If you don't clear the game at the end, you can only reduce the difficulty or postpone the release, wouldn't that be a big delay?
But now, Pei Qian has found the motivation to persevere, and that is Qiao Laoshi!
No matter how hard it is, as long as he can see that Qiao Laoshi is more bitter and difficult than himself, Pei Qian will be full of motivation in an instant!
After all, Pei Qian still has a "Pudu" when he plays games, while Qiao Laoshi can only dance on the tip of a knife with an ordinary weapon.
Therefore, the happiness is mainly comparative!
Pei Qian felt that he was simply happier than ever.
