Chapter Eighty-Three
Soon, the dishes started to be served, and the Wellington steak was fried golden and exuded a unique fragrance.
After the last exercise, Hao Ren already knew how to eat steak. He followed Chen Yao's appearance and slowly cut it with a knife and fork.
Jiang Xiaoya and Qin Wen couldn't help but take out their phones to take photos. Qin Wen just thought that it would be a waste not to take photos such expensive things. Jiang Xiaoya was just thinking about playing the topic of conversation in the future and illuminating the photos when bragging with others, so that others could know that she had also been to high-end restaurants. It was not green tea, but a normal idea for an ordinary person.
Xu Yujia was a little embarrassed and didn't want to take photos, which seemed a bit embarrassing. However, when she saw that two companions had already taken photos, she put down her restraint and took photos seriously.
"Click", "Click" "Click"...
The photos kept ringing, and Hao Ren and Chen Yao were both helpless, but they were just following them.
Aside, a waiter came over, opened the wine plug for them, poured the red wine into a professional decanter, and swayed it gently.
After sobering up, the other party poured some red wine for each of them. Hao Ren also tasted more than 20,000 yuan a bottle of wine. It was extremely mellow, with a slight sweetness and a refreshing fragrance of grapes.
Chen Yao, Xu Yujia and the others also took a sip. Chen Yao smiled. Qin Wen smacked her lips and felt that there was nothing good to drink, not as good as the juice in the store.
Jiang Xiaoya and Xu Yujia looked intoxicated. They didn't know how good or bad red wine was, but what they drank was not the taste, but the brand and price. If you drink 20,000 yuan per bottle of red wine, you know how to brag.
Red wine with foie gras, salt-baked snails, and Xu Yujia all ate it with relish, but Hao Ren did not forget his original intention and kept in mind the purpose of his visit this time.
He casually attracted the waiter not far away, and the other party smiled politely, "Sir, what do you need me to serve you?"
"Call your chef and store manager over."
Hao Ren said calmly.
Hearing Hao Ren's words, Xu Yujia and the others suddenly remembered the important work of this big dinner. They couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a little ashamed.
However, when the waiter heard Hao Ren's words, he asked in confusion, "Sir, is it not what you like?"
"Absolutely, call them."
Hao Ren's tone was a little heavier.
"Okay, please wait."
The waiter had a panic on his face and hurriedly left to call the chef and the store manager.
Chen Yao looked at Hao Ren with interest. She had seen with her own eyes the situation where Hao Ren sold soy sauce before, which was a reuse of the same trick.
Jiang Xiaoya and the others stopped eating and were quietly waiting for the chef to arrive.
Soon, a foreign man wearing a chef's hat and a woman in a suit rushed over. There was no way, and Hao Ren spent more than 30,000 yuan on this meal. Now he was dissatisfied, and the restaurant had to give an explanation.
Customers are God, and God is not wrong!
"Dear customers, I'm sorry to disturb your meals. I'm the manager of this restaurant. Hu Lin. This is the chef who prepares food for you. Jon, I want to ask, is it because we didn't make it well enough, or is there something wrong with the dishes?"
Manager Hu Lin just came up and apologized respectfully, and asked Hao Ren why he was dissatisfied.
The chef beside him also looked puzzled. He was very confident in his cooking skills and could not make any mistakes.
"Well, it's not a problem with cooking skills, but the food is not good."
Hao Ren looked at the other party's respectful attitude and said with a smile.
"Ingredients? Sir, our ingredients are the best. Beef and red wine are all air-carried from abroad, and there is even an appraisal certificate. There will definitely be no fake ones!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Lin shook his head and denied that when he was a restaurant, you can say that the chef’s skills are not good, but if there is a problem with the ingredients, the restaurant will not need to open, especially for high-end restaurants!
However, she did not lie. She chose the best ingredients and could not entertain customers with defective products. Otherwise, she would be a fool to be a restaurant customer.
"I didn't say you used defective products, did I say it wasn't good enough!"
Hao Ren spoke in a deep voice, and took his handbag and took out the items one by one from it. Hu Lin and Jon were both surprised. When they were having dinner in the restaurant, I would endure it with you with fruits, but they even brought them with them, ham and potatoes. Do you look down on the restaurant?
Okay, I can bear to bring potatoes, but you are so salt!!!
Damn, there is also tomato sauce!!!
No, why does it still have juice!!!
They were already stunned. Xu Yujia and Jiang Xiaoya all lowered their heads with blushing. Only Qin Wen looked at Hao Ren with admiration.
When Hao Ren took it all out, Hao Ren looked at Jon and showed a mouthful of white teeth, "Well, you can use my salt and tomato sauce to make a Western food."
"Make some mashed potatoes, as for fruits and yogurt, make a portion of fruit yogurt and pour the juice for us."
Upon hearing this, Manager Hu Lin finally realized that he disliked their food not delicious and brought his own ingredients?
I went to a high-end restaurant to spend more than 30,000 yuan, and I still brought my own ingredients?
Are you insulting me?
Although Jon is a foreigner, he has lived in China for many years and can understand Hao Ren's words, and a hint of anger arises in his heart.
You can say that the things I make are not delicious, but you can't insult me with this behavior!
He was about to speak, but Hu Lin stopped him. The manager took a deep breath, then stepped forward and picked up Hao Ren's things, which looked ordinary, and they were the most ordinary on the market, but there was a black and gold label with the word "Hao".
She looked up at Hao Ren, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Sir, are you sure you want to use your own stuff?"
It is not impossible for restaurants to bring their own ingredients, but once this behavior is bad, the restaurant will be unlucky. Therefore, basically all restaurants refuse to bring their own ingredients, which is not just to make money.
If the customer insists on taking him, they have no choice but to prepare some measures.
Seeing Hao Ren nodding, Hu Lin said politely, "Okay, sir, but we have to take samples and backup these things, and we also have to sign a responsibility letter. If food poisoning or other things happens, it has nothing to do with us."
For insurance, she even brought out the liability letter.
However, this is also impossible. People who can eat in high-end restaurants are not short of money. They all have some status in society. Once a dispute arises, the restaurant will be in trouble!
So, even if she offended customers, she would tell them in advance.
Hao Ren didn't care at all. Hearing this, he nodded and agreed with a smile, "No problem, we will bear any adverse consequences ourselves!"
Seeing this, Hu Lin asked someone to take the ingredients away and backup them. At the same time, he brought five letters of responsibility and asked them to sign. The general idea was that they would eat the ingredients they brought with them and would have adverse effects, which was their own problem.
Xu Yujia, Chen Yao and the others signed it very readily. After signing, Hu Lin took the responsibility letter and immediately asked Jon to make another one.
"By the way, after making the stuff I brought, use your own to make one. I want to know which one is better."
Hao Ren added another sentence at the end.
In order to ensure nothing unexpected happened, Hu Lin went into the kitchen this time and watched the whole process.
Jon made a pasta with salt and salted snails from Hao Ren's salt.
Chop the fruit and mix it with yogurt.
As for the potatoes, after steaming, some salt is mixed, crushed and made into mashed potatoes.
Of course, after using Hao Ren's ingredients and seasonings, he also made a completely identical thing from the restaurant.
In just thirty minutes, the new ingredients were sent.
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, giving it a very refreshing feeling.
Hao Ren only took a bite and the pasta disappeared. Chen Yao, Xu Yujia and others also took a bite, and their eyes lit up and their faces were filled with aftertaste.
"You guys try it too."
Hao Ren said to Hu Lin and Jon.
Hearing this, both of them were a little curious, but they still picked up the fork and took a bite of the pasta made from Hao Ren's stuff.
The moment they entered the mouth, their eyes lit up, especially Jon, who, as a chef, knew what his level was and what the food tasted.
However, during this attempt, he clearly felt that the food was more delicious this time.
Although Hu Lin on the side is not a chef, as the restaurant manager, she is very familiar with the taste of each dish. This time the pasta tastes obviously exceeds normal levels!
Hao Ren then took a bite of the pasta made from their ingredients. Before he could finish it, he frowned. People were more than 100% more than the goods. Compared with each other, the pasta was more than one worse!
Hu Lin and Jon tasted it before Hao Ren could speak, and then frowned. They also noticed the difference between the two servings. The difference between the seasonings made by one person is such a huge difference.
Hao Ren didn't say anything and continued to taste the next dish.
"Try another salt-baked snail."
After taking a bite, the meat of the snail was extremely tender, and ginger also used to remove the fishy smell, which was just right. Hao Ren had no choice but to pick on it.
This time, Manager Hu and Jon also tried it, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes. Before Hao Ren could say anything, they rushed to take a bite.
After tasting it, I also tasted the things they made of their own ingredients, and they were all frowning.
If they haven't tasted it, they may not say anything, but after comparing the two, they have a standard.
However, this is far from over. There are mashed potatoes, yogurt and fruits, and a glass of juice in the end. Hao Ren and the others all had great pleasure in eating it.
Hu Lin and Jon also tasted different flavors, and each one was a delicious food that crushed their restaurant!
Hao Ren looked at them with interest, wanting to know what the other party said.
"Sir, I'm sorry, let all the VIPs have a not-so-good dining experience. Let's do this. Today, our restaurant will give you 20% off for this meal, which is a sign of expressing our apology."
Hu Lin was silent for a moment, smiled bitterly, and suddenly said.
"At the same time, I would like to ask, where did you buy these ingredients from?"
