Rebooting the Peak Years of 1985

Chapter 73 Chicken and duck talk, Chef Wang don’t get excited

Entering the store, there was not even a waiter or greeter.

Everyone in the store gathered around the middle of the store, where an old white man in his fifties sat, slapping the table and chattering with excitement.

Around him, there was a middle-aged man in Chinese tunic suit, who looked like the person in charge of the store, and he was gesturing something to him.

They were talking like chickens and ducks. The old white man became more and more excited as he talked, and the middle-aged man also made gestures with his hands flying.

Finally coming to a conclusion, the middle-aged man said to the fat chef wearing chef's uniform beside him: "Master Wang, this imperialist old man said that your cooking is good, and he is very satisfied with the meal."

"That's not true. My craftsmanship is an ancestral craft. This crucian carp is three times clear, three boiled and three rinsed. It was specially marinated in white wine overnight before cooking, just to show off in front of him."

"You can't eat this drunken fish in other places. This guy has some common sense and knows it's a good thing."

Chef Wang folded his hands and nodded proudly, looking proud.

Then the two sides made gestures and chattered at each other again.

So far, no waiter has come to serve Chen Huajiang and the others. They have also seen them, but no one has taken them seriously.

"He said why it was so painful, there must be something wrong."

Chen Huajiang couldn't stand it anymore. He rolled his eyes wildly and could only walk over.

"Boy, what are you talking about!?"

"Bitter? What is it?"

"Who are you? Do you know foreign languages?"

As Chen Huajiang took the initiative to walk over and interrupt, the manager, chef and waiter all looked at him.

"can help you?"

Chen Huajiang asked the old white man.

"This dish is poisonous, is must be!"

The old white man looked very angry and pointed at the drunken fish on the table while slapping the table.

He believed that the dish was bitter and that bad ingredients might have been used or even produced toxins, and he was extremely determined.

"Notso, thatsthetasteofbaijiu."

Chen Huajiang shrugged his shoulders, pointed at Drunken Fish and said to him.

Then he looked at the people around him who were looking at him in astonishment, and explained the matter roughly.

"He thinks that the bad materials you used have become bitter."

"Nonsense, is that called bitter? That's called glycol. Drunken fish all have this taste. Tell him and then taste it carefully."

Chef Wang was unhappy when he heard this. He pointed at the old man and asked Chen Huajiang to translate for him.

Chen Huajiang translated Chef Wang's words, but the old man didn't accept it, saying that expired ingredients were used in the store.

Just like that, there was a sudden change between the two parties, and Chef Wang seemed very excited. This was simply an insult to his craftsmanship and his character.

How could he, a chef, use expired ingredients?And because the other party was white and the reputation of the hotel was at stake, he used his [-]% cooking skills.

As a result, I was "slandered" by the other party, and naturally I felt unhappy.

Snapped--

"Tell him, if he dares to deceive and eat the king's meal here, there will be no way out!"

"Let him pay the money honestly, apologize and admit his mistake, otherwise I will slap him on the head!"

"You really rebelled against him. Their country was beaten to the pulp, but they dare to act arrogantly on our Chinese territory. How brave they are!"

Chef Wang was also very angry. He slapped the table next to him and pointed at the old white man and said loudly to Chen Huajiang.

"Chef Wang, calm down."

"Chef Wang, don't get excited!"

Faced with Chef Wang's sudden anger, the manager and the waiters quickly stopped him.

Chen Huajiang was also stunned by Chef Wang's "anger". Looking at the disdainful expression of the male waiter next to him, Chen Huajiang suddenly understood.

These days, unlike after the reform, the domestic people are confident and confident.On the one hand, they have not yet learned about the outside world through television and the Internet, and are not very clear about the economic gap between the two sides.

Secondly, I have a deep understanding that imperialism is a paper tiger, and I am relatively confident mentally.

In a few years, with the popularization of television and the propaganda of some so-called media people, the domestic people will realize the economic gap between each other, and their self-confidence and self-esteem will be bruised.

So much so that that mental state lasted for decades, and it was not until Chen Huajiang was reborn that the Chinese people regained their confidence and self-esteem and reached a level-headed attitude.

Yes, before Chen Huajiang was reborn, he only looked down upon him, but in this era, he looked down upon him.

"You kid, don't translate Chef Wang's words. Tell him directly that our store will waive this order for him. Stop whining."

The manager was too lazy to communicate anymore. He just wanted to end the matter and asked Chen Huajiang to help translate.

Chen Huajiang translated for the old man, and the old man stood up and walked out with a curse.

"I didn't expect it. Boy, do you know foreign languages? Are you a college student in the external affairs department?"

After the old white man left, the manager looked at Chen Huajiang and stretched out his hand, and asked with a smile.

The employees on the side also looked at Chen Huajiang one by one, with expressions of curiosity and admiration. There are not many people who can speak foreign languages ​​these days, most of them are college students in the external department.

Lin Jiayin also looked at Chen Huajiang in astonishment. She didn't know when her husband learned the foreign language, and she had never heard him speak it before.

But at this moment, no matter how curious she was, she didn't dare to ask. She could only ask Chen Huajiang after she got back.

"merchant."

Chen Huajiang reached out his hand to shake the manager's hand, and said with a smile.

As soon as these words were said, everyone's expressions became strange, and some waiters even looked at Chen Huajiang with disdain.

Businessmen are not respected these days. It will take until the 90s, when those who make missiles are not as good as those who sell tea eggs, that earth-shaking changes will occur.

"Businessman? Then why are you learning a foreign language?"

The manager already had a wary look on his face.

Chen Huajiang smiled and said: "To make money, we are comrades internally, so naturally we cannot make money from comrades. Foreigners are not our comrades. To make money from foreigners, you have to learn a little bit of their language. You think this is the truth? .”

The manager nodded slightly and relaxed a little.

Then Chen Huajiang ordered a Coke and fried peanuts in the store. Coke had already appeared in China at this time, but it was not popular.

It may only be available here in the entire Nanming City, and the price is extremely expensive, costing [-] cents a bottle.

You must know that fifty cents is enough for ordinary people to have a good breakfast and be satisfied.

Neither Chen Huajiang liked drinking Coke, and Lin Jiayin naturally didn't drink it because it was too expensive. Huanhuan drank it very happily, and the child couldn't resist the temptation of sweets.

"Manager Zhao, I see you want a contractor shop outside, is that true?"

While Lin Jiayin was taking care of Huanhuan to eat, Chen Huajiang found the manager and asked him with a smile.

"Brother Chen is indeed a businessman. Do you want to take over our store?"

The two were familiar with each other when they chatted before, and Zhao Tao laughed when he heard this.

Chen Huajiang nodded and confirmed his answer in the eyes of the other party.

Lin Jiayin, who was holding Huanhuan and drinking Coke, froze when she heard this, and looked at her husband in disbelief.

She didn't expect that Chen Huajiang wanted to take over the contract here. This was a rent of [-] yuan a year. How could he have so much money?
Thinking about it, her face became ugly, and she felt that Chen Huajiang was being too reckless.
