Pushing the door open and entering the restaurant, I saw that it was almost full of customers. It was already past one o'clock, and there were so many customers, and most of them were white-skinned foreigners. The interior of the restaurant was very high-end.
, each seat is separated by crystal bead curtains, and some Chinese paper-cuts and some Chinese knots are hung on the wall.
Apart from these, there is no Chinese flavor at all. The lights are relatively dim and there is a lamp on the top of each table. The whole restaurant is very atmospheric, but the overall decoration is more modern. Ju An has to doubt Hou Sen's
With so many foreigners sitting here, it’s hard to say how much Chinese flavor this restaurant can retain.
Seeing the guests coming in, the Chinese waitress standing next to a small table at the door smiled and bowed: "Excuse me, who are you?"
Ju An smiled and held out three fingers and said in Chinese: "There are just three of us. Do you have a private room? If so, give me a private room." Since Ju An wanted to chat with Hou Sen, he wanted to find a quiet place.
It's a place where it's easy to talk to just a few people.
The little girl shook her head and explained in Chinese: "I'm sorry! Our private rooms here are full, and the hall is actually not too noisy."
Ju An had no choice but to nod, and the little girl took the three of them to a square table in the corner of the restaurant and sat down. When the three of them were done, the little girl brought a pot of tea and handed it to Ju An.
The three of them each had a menu. Ju An took it and took a moment.
He looked at it slightly and drank. Good guy, the food here is not cheap. The price is not much different from the restaurant where Ju An ate in New York. But this is not New York. Ju An smiled and said to the little girl: "The food here is not cheap."
Ah, the price is comparable to restaurants in New York."
The waitress explained with a smile: "Ours is different from other Chinese restaurants. We are high-end, unlike other Chinese restaurants that lower prices. Moreover, our chefs are all famous chefs invited from China.
Veteran chefs with more than fifteen years of cooking experience, not those small shops, you can eat almost all Sichuan, Huaiyang, and Shandong cuisines here. Don’t worry, the taste is definitely similar to that in China. We are in Poz
Man is a very famous, high-end restaurant."
Upon hearing this, Ju An smiled and asked: "I know foreigners don't like real Chinese taste very much, so it's really rare that you have so many customers here!".
The little girl smiled and explained: "Our boss didn't want to resist at the beginning. He said that Japanese restaurants are very high-end. Why can we only do mid-range and low-end Chinese food? It's because of vicious competition among everyone.
He wanted to attract customers with cheap prices, but he didn't want to do that. He just wanted to make high-end Chinese food. Now we are in
Five stores have been opened in California and New York, and Bozeman is the sixth store. Here you can designate the chef to cook your dishes. Look at the number of our chef over there. Many foreigners will designate the chef." After saying this, he waved his hands
Pointing, I saw a frame on the wall with several photos inside. Below it was written today's chef and other chefs. Anyway, they all had a list of names.
Hearing what the little girl said, Ju An became interested. The boss was also a smart person. There were several chefs cutting vegetables on the food preparation table in the kitchen next to him. There was no sound through the glass, but Ju An couldn't hear anything.
When An just walked by, he could see the knife skills of several chefs, cutting the carrots into fine pieces.
It’s great. It looks like you’re enjoying it. No wonder it sells for such a high price. The boss has so many ideas. I’ll just show you why the price of vegetables here is so high. Did you see that he can cut the vegetables so finely?
And almost all of them are the same. How much does it cost to train such a person?
Ju An smiled and asked the little girl: "What are the signature dishes you have here? Please introduce them."
"The most famous thing we have here is shredded tofu and egg custard, almost every customer who comes orders one, as well as shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and crystal steamed dumplings," the little girl said with a smile.
Ju An looked at Hou Sen and said, "Whatever you want to eat, you can order it yourself. You're welcome!".
Hou Sen said: "I can order anything, preferably salted duck with soy sauce, braised pork or something."
After hearing this, Ju An put together the menu: "Do you have salted duck and braised pork with soy sauce? If so, let's have one. I'll have some boiled pork slices, some shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and some of the tofu soup you mentioned, Dai."
Na, what do you want to eat?"
Dinah smiled and said: "Spicy tofu".
"It's good to add a side of spicy tofu," Ju An said to the waitress, it's spicy tofu again. Anyway, his wife-to-be likes spicy tofu every time she eats Chinese food.
After ordering, the waitress turned around and went to inform the kitchen. Ju An said with a smile: "The owner of this restaurant is a smart person. You see how prosperous the business is. This is the first time I have encountered any restaurant in the United States except California."
Go to the Chinese restaurant with the most customers. The customers in California who do the most business are all Chinese, while here they are all foreigners."
Hou Sen took a sip of tea and said: "Actually, foreigners are similar to us in this regard. They think that the expensive ones must be good, and the cheap ones are shameless when inviting girlfriends to dinner. I have eaten here only once, and the taste is very authentic. You
There are basically pairs of lovers everywhere. On Fridays or holiday nights, you have to book a table here in advance. The business is getting better and better. I only know this one authentic Chinese restaurant, the others are American.
Chinese food includes takeout, and I usually cook and eat by myself when I have time.”
Ju An looked around and found that everything was just as Hou Sen said. Many of them were pairs of young foreigners. There was even a pair of foreigners standing by the glass window watching the chef cutting vegetables: "I heard Bra
De said that your horse training skills are very good, why do you go to the supermarket to do odd jobs?"
"I came here to learn and train horse racing when I was 18 years old and 19 years old. I thought that one day I could return to China to train my own champion horse. I also went back to China for a while in the past two years. After one year, I didn't want to stay anymore.
Well, domestic competitions run for tens of kilometers or dozens of kilometers. This is not a horse racing. It is simply killing horses. Also, the previous boss had two dollars to buy a horse worth several million yuan and ran several times without ranking.
, they will complain that the horse trainer does not understand horses at all. Anyone who knows horses knows about purebreds.
Horses are good at sprinting over short distances, but they are not as good as Mongolian horses over long distances. There are also people who buy horses worth millions and hire a trainer to either train them or show off their wealth. They just keep the horses for fun.
, I never thought about sending it to the track. My two previous bosses were like this. I just wanted to train horses and train first-class championship horses, so I came back to continue learning. As for why no one hired me to train horses,
On the one hand, I have no achievements, and on the other hand, my face is my face."
Hou Sen pointed to his face: "Those foreign horse owners think that the Chinese can't train horses well and don't believe in my skills. When I get results, I will definitely return to China to develop domestic horse racing. One day I can also bring it with me."
Domestic-trained champion horses compete in world competitions, or else
I want to pass on what I have learned to domestic horse trainers. No one is asking me to train horses now, and the training center cannot raise an idle person. I am now a volunteer at the training center. I can’t get that kind of money, and my life is difficult.
I have to work in a supermarket, but fortunately my boss is Chinese and takes good care of me."
Ju An was a little touched by this young man who was about the same age as himself. Although he was not as rich as himself, he had more ideals than himself and was willing to work hard. He was not like him who just enjoyed his leisure time and found a comfortable place to hide. But you let
Ju An is looking for an ideal and working hard, so forget it. His character is here, and his life is enjoyable. Why should he change it? This is what the saying goes.
Raise all kinds of people.
"The horse in the information you just saw has changed a lot compared to now. It's not like I have a lot of money to find a pony for you to train. Now Naughty Bag is a little over 1.7 meters tall at the shoulder.
, He is still growing taller, and his muscles are getting stronger. You will know it when you see him. It is useless for me to tell you now. I just want to find someone who can train him carefully. Now it seems that my choice is correct.
"Ju An looked at Hou Sen and said seriously.
Hou Sen nodded and said: "Even if it is not what you said, since I accepted your invitation and you agreed to let me train your horse, it is my responsibility to train him well. No matter what he does, I
I will work hard to train him well, you don’t have to worry about this, horse training is a big part of my life.”
While the two were talking, the waiter had already started serving the dishes. After a while, all the dishes were served. Ju An asked Hou Sen to start cooking together. After tasting a few chopsticks, Ju An had to say that the chef here is really good.
level, several dishes are quite authentic, and
The knife skills are very good. For the tofu and egg custard, the soft tofu inside needs to be cut into shreds with a knife. The tofu in this bowl is basically like silver wire, one by one. The water-drop meat slices are moderately spicy, and the spicy tofu is neatly sliced.
The squares all show the extraordinary skill of the chef.
Dinah put the spicy tofu in the bowl and praised it: "This is the best spicy tofu I have ever eaten. I must eat it again next time."
He put a piece of boiled meat slices into Dinah's bowl and let her taste it. Then he picked up the small round pancake on the table, put the shredded meat and thinly sliced green onions into it and rolled it up.
He handed it to Dinah and asked her to try it. After taking a bite, Dinah nodded happily and said to Ju An: "Remind me next time that when eating Chinese food, in addition to spicy tofu, you must order this?"
”.
Ju An rolled one for himself, took a bite and replied: "Shredded Pork with Beijing Sauce".
"Yes! Shredded pork with Jingjiang sauce, it's much more delicious than the sliced meat you asked me to eat just now," Dinah praised while eating big mouthfuls.
In the end, the three of them had to serve two more bo-cakes, and added a portion of shredded pork. The three of them basically didn't touch the rice, but they swept the dishes on the table clean.
