Chapter 84. Chicken and Phoenix

Yindu Jianguo Hotel, Western Restaurant.

As one of the top hotels in Nandu, the Western restaurants here are the most formal, but because they are too formal, their business has been not very good.

The reason is that many people are not used to eating Western food, and they are even less used to drinking red wine. When guests come, they can drink a cup of coffee or order a pizza at most.

Therefore, the turnover of Western restaurants has always been a loss and a loss. The waiters of Western restaurants have been idle until Lin Yi and his group arrive.

Mr. Qin and the two girls are obviously veterans of Western food. From the content of their orders, their proficiency, and their picky eating details, they can see that these people are authentic "foodies". What kind of steak should be authentic tenderloin from the United States, black pepper should be native to Latin America, and cardamom powder should be imported from Nordic...

Lin Yi didn’t know why they asked for these, maybe eating this way would make you look more tasteful and more stylish.

The steak came and the wine came.

Mr. Qin and two girls chewed slowly. The girls who were originally hilarious and turned into Western ladies. They cut them gently with a knife when eating steak, then ticked them with a fork, put them into the small mouth of the cherry, and chewed them slowly.

Mr. Qin was very satisfied with the performance of the two girls. He took napkins from time to time, and smeared his mouth like those tycoons in the movie, and then politely signaled Lin Yi and Cao Yidao with his eyes--"Please enjoy it."

Lin Yi and Cao Yidao are indeed working hard to "enjoy".

Ping Ping Pong, Cao Yidao's knife and fork always disobediently bumped into the plate containing steak, making a crisp sound. He knew that he was eating Western food, but he didn't know that he thought he was fighting.

Lin Yi is better than him, but he is also very awkward. He looks clumsy and stupid using knife and fork techniques.

He could not cut the steak lightly, cut the steak very crumbly, thin and evenly, and could not skillfully tie it with a fork and put it into his mouth in an elegant posture. Sometimes, the steak tied with the fork would even fall halfway and fall onto the dining table...

Lin Yi and Cao Yidao's appearance naturally caused two girls to laugh. Mr. Qin would not laugh, but he did not stop the people around him from laughing. He watched the fun comfortably.

After a while, the two girls stopped laughing, but kept talking to Mr. Qin in Shanghai dialect. They spoke very quickly and spoke in dialect. Lin Yi and Cao Yidao seemed to listen to alien language and couldn't understand it.

After trying hard to eat more than half of the steak on the plate, Lao Cao leaned over to Lin Yi's ear and frowned and muttered: "Cao, what are they saying? It's a joke, are you laughing at us? To be honest, we haven't eaten this Western food before, but it's not as awkward as today. This dog's knife and fork are just disobedient and always compete with me... I want to tell me, what's the good steak? It's not as delicious as pork head meat. It costs 388 yuan per serving. If you don't eat it, you'll lose money... Lin Yi, eat more, anyway, this Shanghai guy pays the bill! By the way, there's that bottle of red wine---" Lao Cao secretly pointed to the bottle of cognac, "One bottle is more than one thousand, you can drink more, just use it as a rinse---"

"Oh!" Lin Yi sighed.

He used to be idle, so he liked to read some novels. Many of them had scenes of eating Western food and eating steak. In such high-end occasions, the protagonist often pretended to be a pig and a tiger, which Lin Yi felt very happy.

But now, Lin Yi couldn't feel happy. He understood that no matter how hard he tried to pretend, he could not pretend that natural elegant temperament, that skillful and quick way to eat Western food, and even more so that he could not pretend that he was superior in his bones.

Shanghai and Nandu.

Thousands of miles apart.

The qualities in the heart of Shanghai and Nandu people are thousands of miles apart.

Shanghainese grew up eating McDonald's.

People in Nandu grew up drinking Hula soup.

It’s not okay to be unwilling to admit it. From the very beginning, you are much worse than the other party, with quality, knowledge, and different horizons, which ultimately determines that you are a native chicken, not a phoenix.

Cao Yidao is such a native chicken, and he is a bald native chicken that is drying against the steak.

Lin Yi was the same. He tried hard to insert the phoenix's feathers into himself, but he found that the feathers were inserted into him became more rustic.

Instead of being laughed at, it is better to be open and honest, so Lin Yi waved to the waiter and said, "Waiter, come and go for a group of garlic!"

...

Lin Yi used a fork to tie the steak, ate a bite of steak, and garlic, and had a great time.

The aroma of steak and the spicy garlic are mixed together to make it a delicious taste that stimulates appetite.

Looking at Lin Yi, Mr. Qin and the two girls widened their eyes, surprised, contempt, and a little puzzled.

Cao Yidao surrounded the napkin, held the knife and fork, and looked at Lin Yi with oily mouth. He thought Lin Yi's appearance was funny and ridiculous. How could he eat Western food like this?

Looking back at myself, I feel even more funny. Since I quit breastfeeding, I seem to have not worn a napkin for more than 30 years...

"Waiter, come and garlic!" Lao Cao shouted loudly.

...

A very rich Western meal ended like this.

It can be seen that Mr. Qin was very satisfied, and the two girls next to him were also very satisfied. Especially when Lin Yi and Cao Yidao turned Western food into barbecue, the satisfaction level was even higher.

As if he knew that his eating habits just now were a bit embarrassing. Lin Yi and President Qin chatted for a few words and said, "It's too late. I know what Mr. Qin's purpose is this time, but I'd better wait until tomorrow. Go to my residence tomorrow and take a look. You can't just go there for nothing."

Mr. Qin was also very polite, "It's good to drive a car for a day, and his back hurts. I'll have a party with Mr. Lin tomorrow. Well, I'll take out all your treasures at that time. As long as it's the new literature of the Republic of China, I'll be interested."

Lin Yi nodded and left politely.

Mr. Qin sat down again, and used his hand wearing a famous watch to take out a box of special offer from his pocket. He knocked it a few times, pulled out one, and gracefully sandwiched it between his fingers.

The girl with the earrings cleverly took out a Zippo lighter, and skillfully lit it for him with a crisp sound.

Mr. Qin leaned against the chair and squinted his eyes, took a leisurely sip, spit it out, and then said to the two girls: "Is it interesting, this meal?"

"It's quite interesting, look at their eating habits..."

"Especially eating steak and garlic, I was almost laughing to death." The two girls were drinking lemonade and laughing.

Mr. Qin Zhong and Mr. Qin also laughed. He was already running thousands of miles away and finally realized it.

"Check out!" Mr. Qin said gracefully.

The two girls raised their hands and signaled the waiter to pay the bill.

At this time, the waiter came over and said politely: "Sorry, sir, your order has been settled."

"Has it been done?" Mr. Qin was stunned for a moment.

The two girls were a little confused, so they were not clear.

Who would pay for such an expensive Western meal?

Then the waiter handed the bill and a note clipped in the bill to Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin first looked at the bill, with a total of 2,800 yuan, and the following note stated that it has been settled.

Open the folded note again, but it was a letter---

您好,秦总.

I bought this order first without saying hello to you, and please don’t be surprised.

To be honest, it hurts me to buy this order. After all, 2,800 per meal is hard to imagine for a small person like me. Maybe you don’t believe it. Half a year ago, I was still an unemployed vagrant, with only 10 yuan in my pocket, and now I can take 2,800 yuan at the same time. Thinking about it, I was shocked.

I am not complaining about this. After all, you are a guest from afar. No matter whether you are a millionaire or a billionaire, you will be a guest here. Since you are a guest, there is no reason to let the guest pay. As a boss, I can't erase this face.

I am from Nandu, and Nandu is also the city of hospitality. We welcome all friends who come here, including you and your friends. I know it is a bit difficult for you to get here from Shanghai within a day, and this is not my intention. I didn’t think much about selling those books from the beginning. It was Lao Cao who made the move smart and contacted you. But since this is the case, I don’t have to say anything more. When everyone comes, we will communicate with each other---

Finally, I didn't want to say something, but seeing that you were eating with relish and didn't notice it at all, I couldn't help but say: The American beef you just ate was actually pulled from Sanliqiao Meat Market, black pepper was native to the nearby village, and cardamom powder was wholesale from the grain and oil store of Wang Da Niang next door...

With a "puff", the girl who was drinking water next to her looked at the letter and sprayed a sip of water.

The three of you look at me, I look at you.
