"Relph, do you know what kind of person has a tattoo on his chest of a man kneeling on the ground with no scalp and covered in blood?"
"I seem to have heard it somewhere. Let me check and give you the news." The voice on the other side of the phone thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, I don't want to wait too long!" Dean Charles said.
"Soon." The voice on the other end of the phone paused and said, then hung up.
The pipe in his hand was smoking, and the room fell into deathly silence again. Charles leaned back in the chair, closing his eyes and thinking about things.
The carriage was not moving very fast. Even so, while a few people were chatting, it took nearly an hour and a half to slowly return to the hotel.
After getting out of the carriage and entering the hotel, they went back to their rooms to take a short rest and then arrived at the appointed restaurant. Ya Heng was faster than the others. When he came, he was already sitting by the window reading the newspaper with a mug in front of him.
Steaming coffee.
"Have you ordered?" Corporal Linn asked as he walked to the table and sat down.
"Let's wait for you to read the newspaper together." Ya Heng said after taking a sip of coffee.
Chu Long and Osmond sat down next to Yaheng and Corporal Linn respectively. Chu Long waved to a waiter at the door and motioned for him to come over.
The young waiter walked to Chu Long's table, looked at Chu Long and asked: "Sir, do you need anything?"
"Please bring me a medium-rare steak, a cup of milk-flavored lemon black tea, and a strawberry pie." After saying that, he looked at Yaheng and the others.
"Replace the strawberry pie with steamed eggs, and keep everything else the same." Corporal Lin thought for a moment and said.
"A bowl of chestnut rice soup, a cup of lemon black tea mixed with milk, a roasted potato, and a syrup pudding." Ya Heng finished the cup of coffee and handed the cup to the waiter.
"A piece of pasta, and also a cup of lemon black tea mixed with milk." Osmond seemed to have little appetite and ordered very little food.
The young waiter recorded everyone's order, turned around and left with the finished coffee cup.
"Ya Heng, I'm very surprised, why do you have to change the tableware?" Corporal Lin En asked puzzledly. Generally, restaurants rarely change tableware, which made Corporal Lin En very puzzled at first, but it's not good for everyone to be unfamiliar with each other at the beginning.
Ask, it’s not like these days where everyone is familiar with each other and can speak freely.
"It's like this. After long-term use, we found that iron tableware is easy to rust, which has caused nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea to customers many times. We checked repeatedly and found that it was caused by iron tableware, so we prepared to fix it this time.
When changing hotel facilities, buy new ones." Chu Long explained to Corporal Lin En at this time.
"It turns out that something like this happened before. However, we thought it was because the customers were not accustomed to the climate or the food. The most important thing was that there were not many customers with the problem, so we did not pay attention to it. But after Chu Long came here to work some time ago, he discovered that
They mentioned this problem to me again and said it was because of the tableware. Later, after a period of observation, we found that it was indeed the cause of the tableware, so we decided to purchase a new batch of tableware."
"Since other kitchen utensils and daily utensils are not short, I am going to buy them again in large quantities." At this time, Ya Heng also looked at Corporal Lin En opposite and said.
After a while, while a few people were chatting, the young waiter pushed the dining cart to the table and placed four cups of lemon black tea mixed with milk in front of Chu Long and the others, "Gentlemen, these are the people.
Ordered milk-flavored lemon black tea.”
"Thank you!" Chu Long looked at the young waiter and said with a smile.
Several people were chatting while drinking the signature drink milk-flavored lemon black tea. Everyone praised the taste and said that a big hotel is better! How can an ordinary hotel have such a delicious drink.
"The Earl Gray tea at Rock Hotel also tastes good. It smells very fragrant and tastes not too strong. In the afternoon, on the tea table covered with pure white lace tablecloths, there are all kinds of exquisite tea.
Refreshments and beautiful flowers, accompanied by wonderful music, drinking Earl Gray tea, it is a kind of enjoyment." Chu Long drank milk-flavored lemon black tea, and remembered that the Earl Gray tea in the 'Locke' Hotel tasted good, and aftertaste
How I feel when I drink afternoon tea every day.
"It sounds very good from what you said." Corporal Lin took a cup of tea and took a sip of tea. "I will take my team members to have a look. If it is good, I can recommend it to family members who come to the army to visit relatives."
"This is great. We welcome you to our hotel." Yaheng said happily. Chu Long understood Yaheng very well. Not long after the First World War, the international situation was changing, and no one knew how long it would take.
There will also be wars, which will lead to a lot fewer people doing business, studying, and traveling, and not many people will stay in hotels. The business of small hotels like Yaheng and others is even worse, and people in small towns
I won't stay in a hotel. I'll go to a bar to have a drink at most. This makes business difficult!
You also have to bear the wages and daily expenses of the hotel staff, as well as expenses on special occasions. In short, it is good to increase some customers.
"The photos we took today will be developed tomorrow, organized and stored in the album." Chu Long looked at Ya Heng and said.
"No, I have just arranged for the hotel staff to wash it. Even the photo album has been purchased when we visited today. When the photos are developed, they will be put directly into the album." At this time, Corporal Lin En
He said after drinking the tea in the cup.
Chu Long felt really comfortable! If he and Ya Heng came to London, it would probably delay a lot of things and waste time. Having Corporal Lin En as a "multifunctional assistant" would save a lot of things.
!
After chatting, dinner was delivered to several people's tables. While chatting while eating, Chu Long felt that after lunch, the lunch in the hotel was relatively ordinary. It was quite different from the food in the pub during lunch. However,
Then I thought about it, after all, they run a hotel, not a restaurant, so why do they make such good food?
Thinking in his mind, he said the words in the chat to increase the topic. After listening to Chu Long's words, Corporal Lin smiled bitterly and explained: "It's not that the food in the hotel is poor, but that our status is low and the dishes we are exposed to are also poor."
That's all, if it were Dean Charles, it would be different."
"The chefs at the Goring Hotel come from at least ten countries, and they are all chef-level. However, generally they cook for the upper class of the aristocracy. Those with lower status will not be able to eat the dishes they cook.
You can eat some dishes prepared by chefs who are not very high-level.”
"But even so, many people still like the dishes here. At least they are not all local dishes, but also dishes from other countries." Corporal Linn is still relatively familiar with the Goring Hotel. After all, he follows the Charles Institute.
I've been here several times.
Dinner was spent in a long chat. Ya Heng was a little tired after a day of shopping today, so he returned to the room early. Chu Long and the other three were still chatting in the restaurant.
