Zheng Tangjie watched blankly as Xia Yu pointed out several spelling errors on the menu, and was confused for a moment.
Could this guy be cheating?
Zheng Tangjie laughed a few times and asked: "Mr. Xia, do you also know French?"
Xia Yu smiled noncommittally, "A French friend told me that in these places, restaurants often have misspellings. This happened in France too, so I remember it more clearly. He said, generally speaking, the more restaurants
It’s a regular restaurant, so it’s less likely to make mistakes, but this mistake is not serious, it’s harmless…it’s harmless…”
Zheng Tangjie's face turned red and white. Is this saying that his restaurant is not formal? He really doesn't believe that those spellings can be wrong, but he doesn't dare to hold on to this, just in case there are one or two
Wrong, wouldn’t that be even more embarrassing?
He laughed, "Since the French themselves make mistakes, it doesn't matter! By the way, Mr. Xia, I wonder where you are from?"
"I am from Haizhou."
"Haizhou..." Zheng Tangjie pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "I heard that the Liu family in Haizhou is the largest wealthy family in Haizhou. The status of the Liu family in Haizhou is equivalent to the status of our Zheng family in Kunyang, right?"
"This..." Xia Yu hesitated for a moment, looking confused.
Zheng Tangjie secretly sneered, "Looking at you like this, you don't know anything about the Haizhou Liu family. I guess the richest person in your heart is the owner of the canteen downstairs!"
"What? Don't Mr. Xia know about the Liu family?" Zheng Tangjie said slightly surprised.
"I have heard of it...but..." Xia Yu paused and said with a smile, "The Liu family is second to none in the business community in southern China, and it can also be ranked among the top ten in China.
But what Mr. Zheng said just now is the first time I heard it."
"You..." Zheng Tangjie was speechless for a moment. What he just said did seem to be inflating himself. He then thought about it, he is from Haizhou after all, and it is normal to know a little about the Liu family, so he laughed again.
Said: "If Mr. Xia encounters trouble in Kunyang, you can contact me. For Lin Qiong's sake, I will definitely help."
"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zheng, but I like to solve troubles by myself..." Xia Yu said with a smile.
Seeing that Xia Yu had the upper hand, Lin Qiong was in a great mood at this time. In a daze, she really felt that Xia Yu was confronting Zheng Tangjie as her boyfriend. Her eyes were always glued to Xia Yu
There was such affection on his body that the waiters on the side felt a little goosebumps.
This gaze also fell in Zheng Tangjie's eyes, which made him unable to suppress the jealousy in his heart. He really wanted to call the experts at home and suffocate this kid to death with a plastic bag!
…
After talking nonsense for a while, the waiter began to serve the tableware. Plates, knives and forks, and several wine glasses were placed in front of everyone.
Lin Qiong knew the rules of forking left and right knife, but when she looked at the row of wine glasses on the table, she felt a little confused.
Noticing Lin Qiong's gaze, Zheng Tangjie was secretly proud. He estimated that Lin Qiong would definitely ask Xia Yu, but Xia Yu didn't look like someone who understood the rules. He was now waiting for Xia Yu to be embarrassed.
Sure enough, Lin Qiong gently pulled Xia Yu's arm and whispered: "There are so many cups here?"
Although his voice was low, Zheng Tangjie roughly guessed the content from her eyes. He coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Mr.
?”
Xia Yu smiled and ignored him. Instead, he slowly picked up the wine glass in the lower right corner closest to his right hand and said to Lin Qiong: "Look at this wine glass, which is tall and thin. Do you know why it is made like this?"
Lin Qiong shook her head, "I don't know..."
"This is for drinking sparkling wine. This cup shape is to make it easier for everyone to watch the bubbles rise."
"Oh..." Lin Qiong nodded suddenly, "Just like drinking green tea with a glass so you can observe the rise and fall of the tea leaves and the emerald green color, right?"
"Hmm... smart..." Xia Yu smiled, picked up the second cup, and said, "This one is for drinking white wine. It is in the shape of our common goblet, and there is a third cup.
, is a red wine glass. The farthest cup is a water glass. Drinking water and gargling your mouth when changing wine or dishes can help people taste the food and wine better."
Lin Qiongmei looked at Xia Yu with gleaming eyes, "You actually know so many things..."
Xia Yu smiled slightly, turned to look at Zheng Tangjie, and said: "Mr. Zheng, your restaurant does seem to be quite formal in general, but this detail... tsk tsk..."
Zheng Tangjie frowned slightly, "What are the details?"
"Look at these four cups..." Xia Yu calmly picked up the tall and thin sparkling wine glass and continued, "It should indeed be placed on the right hand side, but the four cups should be in the forty-five position.
You see, the arrangement is almost parallel to the table. This is wrong..."
"Forty-five degrees?" Zheng Tangjie frowned and said, "Mr. Xia, is that really the case? Are you just talking nonsense?"
Before he finished speaking, the waitress came over and whispered: "Master Zheng, calm down, what he said is right, but no one cares much about setting the wine glasses..."
Zheng Tangjie's face flashed with anger, and he snorted coldly: "What happened! You didn't pay attention to such details!"
The waiter who served the dish broke the embarrassment, and the first dish came, which was a salad, and it was full of large vegetables. Obviously, Zheng Tangjie wanted to see Xia Yu eating vegetables as a joke.
However, he was destined to be disappointed. Xia Yu cut the vegetables into small pieces skillfully and ate them very gentlemanly, just like a real nobleman. Not only did he perform the etiquette flawlessly, but he also whispered to Lin Qiong from time to time.
The question made Zheng Tangjie itchy with hatred.
Obviously, his plan to make Xia Yu look ugly was in vain. When he saw Xia Yu elegantly holding a spoon to drink soup, eating meat with bones, he covered his mouth with a paper towel, spit the bones onto the fork, and put them carefully.
When it was on the plate, he had to admit his failure. This guy Xia Yu turned out to be very knowledgeable about Western food etiquette!
After finishing the last dish, Zheng Tangjie finally couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Xia, could it be that you open a Western restaurant?"
Xia Yu smiled slightly, "It's just that I have walked through more places. Actually, these etiquettes are nothing. It doesn't matter if you violate them. If you feel uncomfortable eating, then it won't be interesting... By the way, thank you.
Xiaoqiong and I enjoyed the meal very happily!"
"You're welcome..." Looking at the cheerful Xia Yu and the adoring Lin Qiong, Zheng Tangjie felt as sick as if he had eaten two kilograms of flies...
