Chapter 254: Steak is not delicious
Yang Xiaoman led a few people into a well-known Western restaurant.
The store on the first floor of this western restaurant is not very large, but the decoration is very exquisite.
The steak pattern on the sign is particularly beautiful, and it looks very appetizing. There is also an English word underneath the pattern.
A waiter saw a guest coming and immediately stepped forward to greet him.
The waiter spoke a barrage of English.
Yang Xiaoman was directly dumbfounded, he didn't understand.
He quietly asked Cheng Jiaojiao: "What do you mean by that?" ”
Cheng Jiaojiao was the first time to eat in a Western restaurant, and it was also the first time she met an English-speaking waiter, and she didn't react at all, so she didn't hear the waiter's words clearly.
Zhou Mo heard it clearly and understood.
The waiter was asking them if they had booked a private room upstairs, and if they hadn't, they would have to eat in the lobby on the first floor.
Zhou Mo said directly to the waiter in Mandarin: "Little brother still speaks Chinese." To open a restaurant in Huaguo, you have to speak English, as if you are rushing people. ”
The waiter smiled awkwardly and said softly to Zhou Mo: "Actually, I don't want to say it, they are all from Huaguo, and communication in Mandarin can be smooth, right?"
But our manager had a requirement that we must speak English when we go to work, and said that this is the corporate culture.
Only...... It's hard. ”
Zhou Mo expressed understanding.
The waiter led a family of six to sit down in the hall. The family began to order food from the pictures on the menu.
After ordering the meal, Lin Chunhua looked around and said to Yang Laojiu: "There are basically no empty seats in the hall on the first floor, and there are guests who go upstairs from time to time.
It seems that the business of this western restaurant is very good. ”
Yang Laojiu nodded and said, "The business is good, but the guests here are too quiet, and it is not as lively as our farmhouse courtyard."
I don't really like the vibe.
It's okay to come and eat once in a while, but if I were asked to eat in this environment every day, I would probably have indigestion. ”
Lin Chunhua pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly, "I think so too."
But once in a while, I still have to come out to see the world.
After seeing it, if we meet someone who wants to invite us to eat Western food in the future, we won't have stage fright......"
Soon, the steak they ordered was served.
After the waiter left, Lin Chunhua looked at the steak in front of her, shook her head, and said softly to Yang Laojiu: "Judging from the pictures on the menu, that steak is big and thick.
Why is the real thing so small?
It shouldn't be more than three or two, right?
Just a little beef, with a small lump of noodles, a few peas and two pointed asparagus, will cost 300 yuan.
It's too expensive!
The portion size is also small.
People with a bigger appetite don't have enough to eat at all.
It's not a good deal.
It's better to go to the roadside to get a bowl of scallion oil noodles and eat it happily. ”
Zhou Mo echoed very doggedly: "That's it, that's it." ”
Lin Chunhua pointed to Yang Xiaoyan, who was struggling to cut the steak with a knife and fork, and continued: "It's also troublesome to eat, and you have to use a knife and fork to cut slowly, and cut out this 'crunch, crunch' sound, and it will make people laugh......
Yang Xiaoyan finally cut off a small piece of steak, and was about to stuff it into her mouth when she heard Lin Chunhua pointing at herself.
She kept her mouth open, turned her head to look around, and found that there were many people looking at her with the eyes of the country buns.
She blinked, then pushed the steak into her mouth very hard, and said indifferently, "Jokes are jokes, anyway, these people don't necessarily know us when they get out of this restaurant." ”
Yang Laojiu praised Yang Xiaoyan very rarely-"Xiaoyan is right! ”
Yang Xiaoyan won Yang Laojiu's praise and was in a very good mood.
She smiled and savored the taste of the steak in her mouth, then frowned.
"I thought the steak in this Western restaurant could be delicious, the taste was very ordinary."
Zhou Mo tasted it and nodded approvingly.
"It's very average, indeed. It's far worse than our own beef. ”
Last time, in order to make beef jerky for Cheng Jiaojiao, she asked Yang Laojiu to slaughter two cows in one go.
The skeletons of the two cows were taken to the small courtyard of the farmhouse to make soup.
The decomposed meat is used to make beef jerky.
Before Zhou Mo made beef jerky, he selected a few pieces of eye meat and sirloin, and let Lin Chunhua fry them for his family to taste.
That kind of taste is really good, and these steaks in front of you are several streets!
Yang Xiaoman also thought that all the steaks in the world were so delicious because he had eaten the fried steaks at home, so he thought of bringing his family to the Western restaurant to eat steak.
I didn't expect the taste to be so far from the one at home.
He shook his head and said, "Not again next time." ”
As they spoke, a middle-aged man in a suit, tie, and meticulously combed hair stood behind them with a displeased face.
The middle-aged man said to them in English: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the manager of this restaurant.
Allow me to tell you about it.
Our steaks are sourced from Seattle, Country M, and are the finest of the grain-fed beefs.
The meat is tender, juicy, full-bodied, and mellow.
It looks bright red and extremely elastic, with a snowflake texture evenly distributed in the muscle tissue and delicate enough to melt in your mouth.
It is also rich in carotene, vitamin A, vitamin E, unsaturated fatty acids......
This kind of beef, you say it's very ordinary?
It's hard for me to agree with what you're saying. ”
After the restaurant manager finished speaking, he quietly waited for their explanation.
Yang Xiaoyan looked at the man with a confused face and said, "Are you talking to us?" What do you mean? I didn't understand half of it. ”
Restaurant Manager: ......
Maybe he should have spoken Chinese to the table in front of him, but he stressed to the waiters every day that he should speak English, saying that doing so would enhance the style of their Western restaurant.
If he had spoken Chinese himself at this time, and the waiters in the hall would have heard it, he would not have been able to get off the stage......
The scene fell silent all at once.
Yang Laojiu felt that at this time, he should show off his good granddaughter who could speak English.
He cleared his throat and said to Zhou Mo: "Xiaomo, he is also speaking English, right?" ”
Zhou Mo nodded, cocked his thumb, and said, "Grandpa is so good, he can even hear English!" ”
Yang Laojiu couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "I listened to what he said, it was similar to the tone in your tape."
The tape was in English, and he must have said that.
But I didn't understand what he meant.
Can Momo understand? ”
Zhou Mo nodded again and said, "Well, I understand." ”
Yang Laojiu proudly raised his head, waved his hand, and said, "Come, translate for your mother." ”
Zhou Mo translated the restaurant manager's words in Mandarin.
After Yang Xiaoyan listened, she blinked her black and white eyes and said to the restaurant manager: "I don't understand what you are talking about in Seattle, what grain-fed beef, and what snowflake texture......
I'm talking about my personal true feelings.
The steak in front of me tasted really average, and it wasn't as delicious as my mom's own cooking at home. ”
Yang Xiaoyan spoke in a loud voice, and the guests around her had already heard it.
The restaurant manager's face sank and he said in Chinese: "You guys are here to smash the field?" ”
