Soon, the dishes started to be served. The steak Wellington was fried to a golden color and exuded a unique aroma.
After the last practice, Hao Ren already knew how to eat steak. He followed Chen Yao's example and slowly cut it open with a knife and fork.
Jiang Xiaoya and Qin Wen couldn't help but take out their mobile phones and start taking pictures. Qin Wen just felt that it would be a waste not to take pictures of such expensive things. Jiang Xiaoya simply wanted to use the photos when talking and bragging with others in the future.
As soon as she lit up, she let others know that she had also been to a high-end restaurant. It was not considered green tea, but it was just a normal thought of an ordinary person.
Xu Yujia was a little shy at first and didn't want to take pictures, which seemed a bit embarrassing. However, when she saw that her two companions were already taking pictures, she let go of her inhibitions and started taking pictures seriously.
"Ka" "Ka" "Ka"...
The sound of taking pictures kept ringing. Hao Ren and Chen Yao were a little helpless, but they just followed them.
On the side, a waiter came over, opened the wine cork for them, poured the red wine into a professional decanter, and shook it gently.
After sobering up, the other party poured some red wine for each of them. Hao Ren also took a sip of more than 20,000 bottles of wine. It was extremely mellow in the mouth, with a hint of sweetness and the fragrance of grapes.
Chen Yao and Xu Yujia also took a sip. Chen Yao showed a smile, and Qin Wen smacked her lips. They felt that there was nothing good to drink, and it was not as good as the juice in the store.
Jiang Xiaoya and Xu Yujia looked intoxicated. They didn't know the quality of red wine, but what they drank was not the taste, but the brand and price. Even bragging would know if they drank a bottle of 20,000 yuan of red wine.
How to blow it.
Red wine with foie gras, salt-baked snails, Xu Yujia and the others all ate with gusto, but Hao Ren did not forget his original intention and kept in mind the purpose of his visit.
He casually summoned the waiter not far away, who smiled politely and said, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"Call your chef and store manager over here."
Hao Ren said calmly.
Hearing Hao Ren's words, Xu Yujia and the others suddenly remembered the serious business of this dinner, and they couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a little ashamed.
However, the waiter heard Hao Ren's words and asked with some confusion, "Sir, is the food not to your liking?"
"Almost, you call them here."
Hao Ren's tone was a little more serious.
"OK, just a second."
The waiter had a look of panic on his face and left quickly to call the chef and store manager.
Chen Yao looked at Hao Ren with interest. She had seen with her own eyes how Hao Ren sold soy sauce before. This was a repeat of the same trick.
Jiang Xiaoya and the others stopped eating and waited quietly for the chef to arrive.
Soon, a foreign man wearing a chef's hat and a woman wearing a suit rushed over. There was no way, Hao Ren had spent more than 30,000 yuan on this meal. Now he was dissatisfied and the restaurant had to give an explanation.
The customer is God, and God makes no mistakes!
"Dear customers, I'm sorry to interrupt your meal. I am the manager of this restaurant. Hu Lin. This is the chef who prepares delicious food for you. Jon, I want to ask where we are not good enough.
Or is there something wrong with the food?”
Manager Hu Lin just came up and apologized respectfully, and asked Hao Ren the reason for his dissatisfaction.
The chef on the side also looked puzzled. He was very confident in his cooking skills and could not make mistakes.
"Well, it's not a matter of cooking skills, but of poor ingredients."
Seeing the respectful attitude of the other party, Hao Ren also smiled and said.
"Ingredients? Sir, our ingredients are all selected from the best. Beef and red wine are all flown in from abroad. There are even identification certificates. There is absolutely no fake!"
Hearing this, Hu Lin quickly shook his head and denied it. As a restaurant owner, you can say that the chef's skills are not good, but if there is a problem with the ingredients, the restaurant does not need to open, especially for a high-end restaurant!
However, she didn't lie. All the ingredients were selected from the best, and it was impossible to serve customers with defective products. Otherwise, the customers of the restaurant would be fools.
"I didn't say you used defective products, I just said they're still not good enough!"
Hao Ren spoke in a deep voice. He took his handbag and took out things one by one. Hu Lin and Qiaoen both looked surprised. When eating in a restaurant, I will bear with you if you bring fruit.
You even brought ham and potatoes with you. Are you looking down on the restaurant?
Okay, I can tolerate bringing potatoes, but you fucking bring salt!!!
Damn it, there’s even ketchup!!!
No, why is there still juice!!!
They were already stunned. Xu Yujia and Jiang Xiaoya all blushed and lowered their heads. Only Qin Wen looked at Hao Ren with admiration.
When Hao Ren took them all out, Hao Ren looked at Jon and showed his big white teeth, "Let's do this, you use my salt and tomato sauce to make a Western meal."
"Make some mashed potatoes for the potatoes. As for the fruit and yogurt, make some fruit yogurt and pour the juice for us."
Hearing this, Manager Hu Lin finally reacted. Did he think their food was not delicious and he brought his own ingredients?
Spend more than 30,000 yuan at a high-end restaurant and bring your own ingredients?
Are you insulting me?
Although Qiaoen is a foreigner, he has lived in China for many years. He understood Hao Ren's words and felt angry in his heart.
You can say that the food I cook is not delicious, but you cannot insult me with this behavior!
He was about to speak when he was stopped by Hu Lin. The manager took a deep breath and then stepped forward to pick up Hao Ren's things. They looked ordinary, the most common ones on the market, but there was an extra black and gold color.
"Hao" label.
She looked up at Hao Ren, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Sir, are you sure you want to use your own things?"
Restaurants are not allowed to bring their own ingredients, but once this behavior has bad consequences, the restaurant will also suffer bad luck. Therefore, basically all restaurants refuse to bring their own ingredients. This is not just to make money.
If the customer insists on bringing it, there is nothing they can do, so some measures should be prepared.
Seeing Hao Ren nodding, Hu Lin was helpless but still said politely, "Okay, sir, but we have to take samples and back up these things, and we also need everyone to sign a responsibility letter. If food poisoning or other things happen,
It has nothing to do with us."
To be on the safe side, she even brought out the liability certificate.
However, there is nothing we can do about it. People who can eat in high-end restaurants are not short of money and have some status in society. Once a dispute occurs, the restaurant will be in trouble!
Therefore, even if she offends a customer, she will tell her in advance.
Hao Ren didn't care at all. After hearing this, he nodded and agreed with a smile, "No problem, we will bear any adverse consequences ourselves!"
Upon seeing this, Hu Lin asked people to take the ingredients away for backup. At the same time, he brought five liability letters and asked them to sign them. The main message was that if they ate the ingredients they brought and had any adverse effects, it was their own problem.
Xu Yujia and Chen Yao all signed it very readily. After signing, Hu Lin took the responsibility letter away and immediately asked Qiaoen to make another one.
"By the way, after you finish cooking with the things I brought, I'll make one with your own. I want to know which one is more delicious."
Hao Ren added one last sentence.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents, Hu Lin went into the kitchen to watch the whole process.
Jon made a pasta and salt-baked escargot using Hao Ren’s salt and tomato sauce.
Chop the fruit and mix it with the yogurt.
As for the potatoes, they are steamed, mixed with some salt, crushed and made into mashed potatoes.
Of course, after using up Hao Ren's ingredients and seasonings, he also used the restaurant's to make the exact same thing.
In just thirty minutes, new ingredients were delivered.
Hao Ren looked at the ingredients in front of him, smiled slightly, and used a new knife and fork to divide the pasta into seven portions.
Mixed with a little tomato sauce, the pasta is firm and elastic, with an extremely refreshing feeling.
Hao Ren only took one bite, but the pasta was gone. Chen Yao and Xu Yujia also took a bite, and their eyes lit up with expressions of aftertaste on their faces.
"You guys also have a try."
Hao Ren said to Hu Lin and Qiaoen.
Hearing this, both of them were a little curious, but they still picked up their forks and took a bite of the pasta made with Hao Ren's things.
The moment they entered the restaurant, their eyes lit up, especially Jon. As a chef, he knew what his level was and what the food tasted like.
However, in this try, he obviously felt that the food was more delicious this time.
Although Hu Lin on the side is not a chef, as a restaurant manager, she is very familiar with the taste of every dish. The taste of the pasta this time is obviously beyond the normal level!
Hao Ren then took a bite of the pasta made with their ingredients. Before he could finish it, he frowned. He would have to compare with others, and he would throw away the goods. Comparing the two, this pasta was inferior.
More than one thing!
Hu Lin and Qiao Qiao tasted it without waiting for Hao Ren to speak, and then they frowned. They also noticed the difference between the two portions. It was made by one person, and there was such a huge difference with just different seasonings.
Hao Ren didn't say anything and continued to taste the next dish.
“Try the salt-baked snails again.”
After taking a bite, the snail meat was extremely tender, and ginger was used to remove the fishy smell. The taste was just right. Hao Ren had nothing to be picky about.
This time, Manager Hu and Qiaoen also tried it, with a flash of surprise in their eyes. Before Hao Ren could say anything, they rushed to take a bite.
After the tasting, I also tasted the food they made with their own ingredients, and everyone frowned.
If they haven't tasted it, they may not say anything, but after comparing the two, they have a standard.
However, this was far from over. There were also mashed potatoes, yogurt and fruit, and finally a glass of juice. Hao Ren and the others ate with great pleasure.
Hu Lin and Jon also tasted different flavors, each of which was the delicacy that overwhelmed their restaurants!
Hao Ren looked at them with interest, wanting to know what the other party said.
"Sir, I'm sorry for giving you a not-so-good dining experience. So, our restaurant will give you a 20% discount on today's meal to express our apology."
Hu Lin was silent for a moment, smiled bitterly, and suddenly said.
"At the same time, I would like to ask, sir, where did you buy these ingredients?"
