Chapter 527 Hotel Storm 4——French Restaurant
Alvin scratched his head and looked at the complicated tableware on the table. There were four or five kinds of cups, plus knives, forks, spoons and various dishes. What the hell is going on?
My restaurant also sells steaks. Isn’t it just a knife and fork and a glass of lemonade?
He looked with disdain at the person opposite him who picked up a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth like a local leopard. Alvin, who had never received formal education in Western food etiquette in his two lifetimes, tried hard to recall the routines he had heard in his two lifetimes.
In the end, Alvin sighed helplessly, glanced at a middle-aged waiter with a serious expression who had been standing next to him, spread his hands and said: "In order to prevent me from being too rude, man, tell me what I should do!"
The middle-aged waiter was stunned for a moment. He had worked as a high-end waiter all his life and had never heard such a request.
The guests who dine here are generally elites who have received etiquette education in advance.
Occasionally, the nouveau riche come here to eat. Although the bohemian ones seem to be very self-centered and don't care about other people's eyes at all, they actually know in their hearts that they are embarrassed!
There are also some who don’t care at all, but if you don’t care anymore, why are you going to have a French meal?
Eating like this is all about atmosphere and etiquette. If you don't care about this, why would you come here to eat?
In addition to getting a few bites of delicious food, there are also a lot of scornful looks, what's the point? You can’t show off your wealth, you can’t show off your style, and you might not be full in the end!
It seems like the Manhattan Tomahawk, a household name in New York, is a little too special, and he's actually asking for help!
As a waiter in a high-end restaurant, although I have a service obligation in this area, where have I really seen such a person?
The middle-aged waiter was stunned for a few seconds, pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "Okay, sir, Butler Nancy has already ordered the food for you.
But it will take some time to prepare in the kitchen. Maybe you can have a glass of Sauternes white wine first. "
As he spoke, the middle-aged waiter took the initiative to pour a glass of golden wine for Alvin and Shangqi, and then motioned for them to have a taste.
Alvin was quite satisfied with the attitude of this middle-aged waiter. There was no contemptuous look or frivolous tone. It was very in line with the style of this high-end occasion. This made Alvin feel a lot more comfortable!
Shangqi threw down his small meal bag with some annoyance. He glanced at Alvin awkwardly and said, "Boss, am I embarrassed?"
Alvin looked at the annoyed Shangqi and said with a smile: "It would be shameful to know and not follow the rules. If you don't know, there is nothing to be ashamed of.
You can ask this waiter if he despises you? If he says yes, we will deduct his tip, haha! "
The middle-aged waiter coughed twice interestingly and said with a smile: "Well~~ This gentleman is definitely not rude. These meal packages are originally prepared for guests with larger appetites.
Um~~You know, the food in our restaurant is very delicious, but the portion is small~~"
Alvin spread his hands towards Shangqi and said with a smile: "Look, your boss is also a local leopard, so let's learn a lesson together."
The middle-aged waiter really liked Alvin like this, he was generous, real and unpretentious. Most of the customers here used to be polite, but the waiters knew that no one really took them seriously.
Now this well-known big man in New York is willing to ask himself for advice, what else is there to say!
The middle-aged waiter was an interesting person. He smiled and lowered his head and said, “Looks like I kept my tip!
Let me tell you a secret, the waiters here are all French, only I am from Quebec, Canada.
It's a French-speaking area, so obviously the interviewers here judge nationality based on whether they know French. "
After hearing this, Alvin looked around pretentiously, raised his index finger to his lips, and said: "It's better not to talk about this kind of secret. This seems to be a place where some spies often hang out.
They are usually nefarious bastards, don't let them get a hold of you! "
After speaking, Alvin laughed, shook hands with this interesting waiter, and said with a smile: "I'm not kidding, it's a bit dangerous here now. I suggest you take a leave to go home after guiding us to eat!"
The middle-aged waiter thought Alvin was joking and was about to say a few witticisms in response.
As a result, as soon as Alvin's words came out, the restaurant suddenly became quiet for two seconds, and then returned to the way it was at the beginning. The atmosphere suddenly seemed a little awkward.
The middle-aged waiter was stunned for a moment, then looked at Alvin's expression that didn't look like he was joking, and said with some anger: "Don't scare me! My girlfriend is the supervisor here, and I can't leave her alone if something really happens. !”
After hearing this, Alvin suddenly felt very fond of this middle-aged and funny waiter. When faced with possible dangers, he first thought of his lover. This guy was either a lover or a good person.
Seeing the middle-aged waiter’s panic expression, Alvin smiled and said, “It seems you lied about the interviewer’s question!
But it doesn't matter, I like you, and I still hope that you can lead me to finish this meal.
After it's over, if you believe me, take your girlfriend with you and go home.
If not, you can stay in my presidential suite. Nancy is a nice person and you can have a drink there! "
The middle-aged waiter took a breath, like a strict and qualified waiter, refilled a glass of white wine for Alvin and Shangqi, and said softly: "Thank you! My name is Bernard Martin, thank you for the reminder, Tomahawk gentlemen!"
Ethan Hunt covered his forehead in worry, watching Alvin completely disrupt the atmosphere of the entire restaurant with a few light words.
As an experienced super agent, Ethan Hunter could clearly smell the "impatient" smell.
Ethan Hunter didn't know what Alvin wanted to do, but he had to step up and solve the matter in his hands.
The death of a person just now has made everyone here start to be wary, and now Alvin's push is added.
Ethan Hunter suddenly felt that this hotel was about to "burn"!
After waiting for about an hour, when Alvin started eating the main course, many interested people in the restaurant had already left one after another.
Ethan Hunter brought a glass of red wine, walked slowly to Alvin's dining table, and said in his own voice: "Hello, Principal Alvin, I didn't expect to meet you here!"
Alvin carefully looked at the guy with a very familiar voice, and finally realized through the guy's unnaturally thick soles that he should really know this guy.
After reaching out and saying "please sit down", Alvin said with a smile: "Ethan Hunter, you are still wandering around New York. How are you completing your mission?"
Ethan Hunter said with a wry smile: “I am in the last part of the mission, and now it seems that things have become a lot more complicated!
I originally made an appointment with all the buyers to start the battery auction at ten o'clock tonight, but under the current situation, no one is willing to trade today. "
Alvin was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "I heard one of your peers commenting that you are a cursed person a few days ago!
Now it seems true. Why haven't I seen you do anything successfully since I met you?
Also, are you stupid? Since your targets are already at the hotel, go get them! what are you waiting for? "
Ethan Hunt took a sip of red wine with a wry smile to hide his embarrassment, and then said: "I am confirming the identity of the last Russian black market arms dealer. I don't know his real name or what he looks like."
Looking at Alvin's contemptuous eyes, Ethan Hunter said: "Actually, not many people in the world know his true identity, otherwise I wouldn't have to hold such an auction at all!
And now it seems that it is unrealistic to try to catch them all. I'm a bit short on manpower and time! "
Alvin smiled and shook his head and said: "You have to think about the problem from another angle, this hotel is going to be lively soon.
There were intelligence agents from all over the place, and I guess those people were terrified.
But since they haven't killed you, it means your identity is still relatively trustworthy.
Why don't you send them a retreat message and say you can organize them to retreat together.
You see, all you want is people anyway. If you can bring them together for a reason, wouldn’t that be the end of it? "
Ethan Hunter suddenly patted his forehead and said, "You are right, the hotel has been blocked now and no one can get out. They must be very anxious."
As he spoke, Ethan Hunter took out his phone and dialed Jason Bourne, saying: "Bourne, where are Fernando and Dogo now? Can you just kill one and let me rescue the other.
I have a new plan that can bring all my goals together in one go! "
Bourne on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and said softly: "The two of them are in the coffee shop. If you want to save people, hurry up. I can wait for a suitable opportunity to meet your request."
Ethan Hunter put down the phone, glanced at Alvin and said: "I need to leave immediately, Principal Alvin, can you tell me what exactly you want to do?
I know how to not interfere with your plans! "
Alvin smiled and shook his head and said, "It seems you have found a much more reliable helper than that Benji!
Don't worry about me, the more chaotic the hotel situation the better for me.
The only thing you need to do is to save your own lives. "
Ethan Hunt nodded to show that he understood, then glanced at the nervous middle-aged waiter with trembling legs, and said, "Is he reliable?"
Alvin waved his hand and said: "He will stay in my presidential suite later, you go and do your thing!"
Looking at Ethan Hunter's leaving figure, Alvin smiled and said to the middle-aged waiter Bernard Martin: "Look, I rarely make jokes like this!"
