Chapter 61 What Menu to See
The waiter quickly arranged for five people to change to a larger table.
After chatting, Su Yingxue and Xu Wei found out that Liu Jinglan was a Ph.D. in archeology and was about to graduate, and had already met with some school leaders of Lin'an University, and planned to teach in the Department of Archeology of Lin'an University.
"I can't tell, Ms. Liu is also an archaeologist. This kind of knowledge is not something that ordinary people can do, but it should be very interesting. I can go to various places to inspect various newly unearthed cultural relics," Xu Wei said curiously.
Liu Jinglan said with a smile: "If you are not interested, who would study this major? After all, there are not many employment opportunities. I also relied on the help of my seniors to teach at Lin'an University. When the excavation work at the archaeological site is over, It’s officially going to work.”
Zhang Che looked a little flustered, as if he said in a very ordinary way: "Jing Lan, you are being polite, and this is also a manifestation of your ability. Although my father's position and status are helpful, the key is to rely on yourself."
As soon as he said this, he hoped that others would ask him who his parents were and what their background was, but unfortunately, no one answered him at all.
Su Yingxue seemed to have heard nothing, and asked Liu Jinglan directly, "Is Miss Liu a native of Lin'an?"
Liu Jinglan nodded, "Yes, that's why I try my best to stay in Lin'an to work and take care of my parents."
"Then you should be quite familiar with Lin Fei." Su Yingxue asked again.
Lin Fei curled his lips and shook his head secretly. This woman wanted to get her information from other people again.
"Actually, I'm not familiar with him. I spent most of my time in the capital, and I only met Lin Fei when I came back this time. My father has a relatively close relationship with him," Liu Jinglan said.
Su Yingxue suddenly remembered that when she met Lin Fei for the first time, the owner of the taxi was named Liu Hongbin, who seemed to be Liu Jinglan's father.
"So the taxi he drove before belonged to your father," Su Yingxue understood.
Liu Jinglan was a little surprised and said: "How does Miss Su know, have you seen that taxi?"
After being asked this question, Su Yingxue realized that it was not easy to talk about it, so she smiled vaguely and didn't explain much.
Xu Wei noticed that both Lin Fei and Su Yingxue had strange expressions when they mentioned the taxi. They knew there must be some story behind it, but they didn't ask the meaning.
Zhang Che listened to the three women chatting and didn't have a chance to interrupt. He felt anxious for a while. He didn't know the names of the two women until now, and he still didn't know the names of the two beauties.
At this time, seeing a Caucasian waitress approaching, his eyes lit up, and he knew that his opportunity to perform had come.
When the waiter came to the side, Zhang Che reached out to take the menu naturally, handed it to Su Yingxue himself, and said with a proud face: "Miss Su, I have a destiny today, so let me treat you to this meal, and Miss Xu, you don't need it." You're welcome, just order whatever you want."
Unexpectedly, after Su Yingxue took a sip of lemonade, she glanced at him coldly, "I don't know you well, why did I ask you to invite me? Do you think we can't afford it?"
Zhang Che's face froze. Why did this woman speak like a rock? She smiled awkwardly, "Of course that's not what she meant. If Miss Su doesn't like it, just pretend I didn't say anything."
"Mr. Zhang, the menu in this restaurant is only in French and English. We are very tired looking at it. Today I plan to ask Lin Fei to order it. Let him do it." Xu Wei put the menu in front of Lin Fei.
When Zhang Che heard it, he smiled with disdain: "Both of you can't understand, it would be too embarrassing for Mr. Lin to read it. I guess it's the first time for Mr. Lin to eat at this kind of place. My English is okay. Why don't I come."
As he said that, before Lin Fei could get the menu, he snatched it back, opened it and looked at it, it was really all in French and English, not even matching the pictures!
Although his English is good, but because the above words are almost all unpopular words related to ingredients, and many of them are common in both French and English, it seems that he is really struggling.
He suddenly turned his head to the waiter with some dissatisfaction: "You open a restaurant in Xia Guo, why don't you use Chinese?"
The waitress smiled apologetically and said in jerky Chinese, "Sir, this is a specialty of our restaurant, please understand."
"This is called special? Do you know how to do business? That's not how you pretend to be elegant. Are you making it difficult for our guests to know?" Zhang Che looked very reasonable and unforgiving.
At this moment, Xu Wei smoothed things over and said: "Mr. Zhang, don't be angry, the owner of this restaurant is a famous French chef. He opened the restaurant not to make money, but to provide rich foreign businessmen in Xiaguo and people who know French food. An authentic upscale French restaurant.
Basically everything is in the original French style. If Chinese is used on the menu, it will attract some customers who don't understand food and are like nouveau riche customers, so they deliberately don't use it. "
"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhang Che's forehead was slightly sweaty, and he almost became a "upstart". No wonder there are so many foreigners in this restaurant. Not only must they be rich, but they must also have a certain level of culture to enter here.
No wonder my local friends in Lin'an said that this is the most upscale restaurant, but they didn't mention that the menu is in foreign languages.
He also wronged that friend, and he just mentioned a place with the highest consumption, but he has never been to this place.
Zhang Che had no choice but to bite the bullet and flip down page by page, but all he saw was a long list of dishes, including cooking methods and sources of ingredients. Big!
Looking at the price list, there are thousands of dishes at every turn, and there are even tens of thousands of dishes!
He secretly regretted that he would not have come to this place if he had known earlier, but now he was riding a tiger, and he knew only a little about the names of these dishes. If he chose a particularly unpalatable and expensive one, wouldn't he be ashamed in front of the three beauties?
At this time, the manager of the restaurant, a handsome Caucasian man, was asking customers for their opinions at each table. Seeing that the guests at this table had been staring at the menu, as if hesitating, he walked gracefully to Zhang Che and motioned for the waitress to go away.
"Monsieur, vousavez beso indun apéritif?"
The manager only thought that Zhang Che needed advice on what to order, so he bent down and asked politely.
"Ah? What?" Zhang Che was stunned, and the manager spoke French to him as soon as he opened his mouth.
The manager was also slightly taken aback. He thought Zhang Che was someone who knew French because he read the menu so "seriously".
It turns out that this person can't speak French, so why did he stare at it so carefully for so long?
"He asked you if you would like an aperitif."
Lin Fei, who had been silent all this time, first translated it for the manager. He couldn’t stand it any longer. If he doesn’t know how to order this product, he has to pretend he doesn’t understand it. Appetizers.
Zhang Che's mouth was wide open, and he looked at Lin Fei in disbelief, "You really know French?"
Liu Jinglan at the side also seemed to be very surprised, as if she hadn't expected it at all.
Su Yingxue said nonchalantly: "I told Lin Fei to do something, if not, don't waste time."
Lin Fei was too lazy to talk nonsense, and turned to the manager and said, "Kir, autre, avocatsaucecrevettes, saumonfumed'ecosse."
When the manager heard the standard French pronunciation, he realized that this unremarkable young man was a real expert.
Zhang Che was about to vomit blood. Was this poor driver trying to kill him on purpose? How could a taxi driver know classical Chinese and speak fluent French!
He forced a smile, and handed the menu to Lin Fei, "Mr. Lin, since you like it, you can order."
But Lin Fei didn't mean to take the menu at all, waved his hand, and said casually: "What menu are you looking at? Isn't there just that kind of stuff in French restaurants, you can count them with your toes?"
After finishing speaking, Lin Fei continued to speak fluently to the manager beside him: "Plat, Rotidecuisse, Truitesaumonaubleu, plusHollandaisesauce. Dessert, pourlesdames, cremedemarronchantilly."
After listening, the manager of the restaurant took notes one after another, didn't ask any more questions at all, just said "merci" with a smile, and left with the menu.
This time, not only Zhang Che was stunned, but even Su Yingxue and Xu Wei were a little dazed, and they were stunned for a long time without saying a word.
