Chapter 456 Dinner Party (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)
Caesar frowned slightly. Although the waiter's attitude was quite humble and polite, his words clearly meant that they were treated as guests who did not understand the rules.
The heir of the Gattuso family had never been treated like this before. In the past, wherever Caesar went, he would not be surrounded by people. The waiters would rush to be proud of his service. What's more, Caesar and Chu Zihang wanted to go to today's appointment. They even asked the store manager to overdraft their salary, and each bought a crisp suit for themselves.
Is there any reason to be turned away if you dress up for a banquet? !
"Check carefully. I'm pretty sure I have reserved a seat. The manager of your store who received me yesterday also left a business card for me." Caesar took out a gold-gilded business card from his suit pocket and placed it on the In the waiter's hand, "If you can't make the decision, ask your store manager to come and talk to me."
Caesar did come yesterday. At that time, he happened to meet a customer who came to the store to cancel the reservation. The store manager of "Ristorante Honda" repeatedly asked the customer if he really wanted to cancel the reservation. It is the hot tourist season recently, and the store's location is very tight. Once the cancellation is successful, if you want to make another reservation, there will only be a seat available a week later. Perhaps the guest was impatient when asked, and said a little irritably that he had already reserved a seat at "Joel Robuchon", which is a Michelin restaurant. A two-star French restaurant is higher in level than this restaurant, and French restaurants are more romantic and stylish than Italian restaurants. This is recognized around the world.
The store manager of "Ristorante Honda" wanted to refute this arrogant behavior from customers, but he couldn't criticize other restaurants in public. This approach was too disrespectful, so he could only swallow it secretly. In this tone, he went through the cancellation procedures for the guest in embarrassment.
At this time, Caesar naturally sat down next to the manager and the guests. He picked up a menu of "Ristorante Honda" and said intentionally or unintentionally that it was already the 21st century, and there was still one. This is the kind of nouveau riche who evaluates the quality of a restaurant by looking at its star rating alone.
Upon hearing this, both the guests and the manager turned to look at this uninvited guest who had appeared out of nowhere. The guest's expression changed, and he loudly asked Caesar who the nouveau riche was.
Caesar said lightly that whoever couldn't help but jump when he heard the word "nouveau riche" was the nouveau riche. Then he turned to look at the guest with a careful look and pointed out three loopholes in the guest's words.
First, a restaurant with two Michelin stars is not necessarily better than one star. There are too many subjective factors in determining the star rating, such as whether the style of the restaurant is in line with the general public's aesthetics, whether the surrounding environment of the restaurant is stylish, and whether the restaurant's surrounding environment is stylish. Whether the chef's skills are in line with the taste preferences of the inspector... "Ristorante Honda", a powerful established restaurant that has won star honors for thirteen consecutive years, may not be inferior to a rising star like "Joel Robuchon". Secondly, only the upstarts Only then do you feel that French restaurants are more stylish than Italian restaurants. Well-educated people know that French restaurants focus on presentation and environment, while Italian restaurants pay more attention to taste and atmosphere. Thirdly, Caesar made it clear that guests are more inclined to " "Joel Robuchon" is because that restaurant is launching a promotion for couples' set meals online. The discounts in the event are very strong. After the discount, the same level of dishes is less than half the price of this restaurant, so the customer's choice has nothing to do with style. , purely to save money.
The guest who had his mind exposed ran away in despair. The store manager was so shocked that he immediately decided to book the rejected box to Caesar. Caesar smiled and said that his friend happened to need a box, so The pseudonym of Lu Mingfei was left behind.
The waiter was stunned by Caesar's condescending tone. He bent down and took the business card from Caesar's hand with both hands. Seeing that it was the manager's business card, the waiter couldn't help but become cautious and said that the manager was a little busy now. He would go and help Caesar. Double check your seating availability tonight.
"Lu Mingfei and the others haven't arrived yet?" Chu Zihang looked at the wall clock in the hall, "It's almost the appointed time."
"Actually, it is understandable that the underworld princess is not that easy to deal with. The difficulty level is even comparable to that of Nuonuo and Xiao Longnu. That guy Lu Mingfei should also have a headache." Caesar said, "But if he is really late I will still condemn him."
"Do you think Lu Mingfei really likes Shang Eliyi?" Chu Zihang asked.
"Like it?" Caesar shook his head, folded his hands on his chest, and said in a tone of someone who has come before, "Isn't it obvious enough? That guy barely had the words 'I love you' written on his face when he faced the head of the Uesugi family. Okay? You and Xia Mi have been dating for a while, why are you still so slow and unable to understand such a situation? "
Chu Zihang rarely refuted Caesar's ridicule, because he was unable to refute at all. Compared with an aristocratic son like Caesar who had rich experience in getting along with girls, he was really as slow as a stupid elm in this regard. Wood knots.
The waiter hurried back a few minutes later. He first bowed deeply to Caesar and Chu Zihang, and then said in a strange tone: "I went to check just now, and there is indeed a gentleman named 'Lu' here. We have a reservation here, but he arrived fifteen minutes ago.”
Caesar and Chu Zihang were both stunned.
"Could it be that Lu Mingfei and the others have arrived first?" Chu Zihang said in an uncertain tone.
"But... they have already started dining." The waiter added, "There were six people in Mr. Lu's box. They said that everyone had already arrived, and we had served them two appetizers. When I went to check, They’re already dining.”
In a restaurant of this level, people are generally not allowed to serve food before they are all present, so the waiter's expression is very strange now. Even though Caesar and Chu Zihang look personable, they are really holding the manager's hand. He came with a business card, and at this moment, in the eyes of the waiter, he was still suspected of cheating food and drink.
"Six people?" Caesar couldn't help but frown.
Where did these six people come from? Why did six people show up unexpectedly? Could it be that Lu Mingfei brought Uesugi Eri, invited Kazama Ruri and Sakurai Kogure, and also invited the ramen chef named Uesugoshi last time? Who is the other person? Turtle? How many hours would a turtle make a date to have dinner at a restaurant like this? Does he have so much free time?
And what’s going on when everyone is here? Wasn't today's dinner arranged here just to entertain him and Chu Zihang? Even the appointment was made by him in person. Now that the dinner party has begun, he and Chu Zihang have been excluded?
"Have you really figured out the identity of the guest? I decided the place, and I left Mr. Lu's name." Caesar questioned the waiter, "You may have got the wrong person in your restaurant, you'd better take me now Go meet that Mr. Lu."
…
The waiter placed an exquisite tray on the table, which contained pure black chocolate balls. The chef wearing a tall white hat came to the table and used a heat gun to evenly heat the chocolate balls, which looked like black flowers. It slowly blooms in all directions, revealing the red heart-shaped cherry inside.
Uncle and Director Chen applauded one after another, praising that this is the atmosphere that a high-end restaurant should have. Are these ingredients?
No, this is art!
Auntie lightly kicked Lu Mingze under the table, but Lu Mingze was still staring straight at the plate of chocolates on the table, barely dripping.
The aunt sighed in her heart, thinking that her son was not good enough, so she, the mother, had to fight in person!
Auntie got ahead of Lu Mingze and picked up the love-shaped cherry with a fork at lightning speed, then gently put it into Jiajia's plate with a kind smile: "Eat it, Jiajia, don't be embarrassed, This meal was originally just for you and Narusawa, and I chose this restaurant specially. It would be a shame to go back without finishing the last meal."
Lu Mingze also nodded. Since his mother had said that this meal was for him and Jiajia, he unceremoniously brought the plate of chocolates in front of him and started to feast on it.
In fact, chocolate as a dessert should not be eaten at this time, but I don’t know whether it is because the two families here have little experience in eating high-end Western food, or because Lu Mingze is a child and just let him go. In short, no one Without saying anything, the waiter then started serving appetizers.
The rich caramelized cauliflower sauce is paired with lobster sauce. The bright colors and exquisite presentation will make people open their fingers. The uncle scooped half a spoonful into his mouth, savoring the Hawaiian flavor under the sun, and then came another. After taking a sip of the pure champagne, his taste buds seemed to be opened along with the aura all over his body. The uncle shook the goblet and spoke slowly: "The appetizers in this restaurant are the best among the restaurants I have eaten at." , By the way, has Director Chen ever dined at a Michelin-starred restaurant before?"
In the workplace, my uncle had never spoken to Director Chen in such a tone. Although he didn't nod or bow down, he was still respectful. However, after getting along with each other in Japan these days, he found that Director Chen was also a person who had the same affinity as him. ...Bah, bah, bah, what a common odor, we are like-minded! Today, I invited Director Chen to have dinner at such a high-end and respectable restaurant. My uncle felt that he could get along with Director Chen as brothers.
Isn't there a saying that says men who sit at the same drinking table become brothers from different parents?
"Look at you, you drank too much before you even started eating, right? What kind of words are you talking about!" Auntie scolded her uncle, "What kind of person is Director Chen? What kind of banquet has he never had? A Michelin restaurant How can it be considered a high-end place for Director Chen and his family? They all eat it as casual meals, but I think Mrs. Chen and Jiajia’s tastes are definitely more inclined to our traditional Chinese food. Director Chen is I rarely come to a Western restaurant like this, do you understand that Director Chen calls it Gu’s restaurant?"
The aunt was saying words of rebuke, but she acted like a host. She was holding champagne in her left hand and sipping tea. She was tapping the table with her right fingers. Her face was rosy and she was proud of herself. When had this housewife ever had such a glorious moment? In such a high-end place, my aunt's heart felt better than eating sweet chocolate.
She couldn't help but sigh that her decision was wise. Housewives also have the wisdom of housewives. Ever since she returned to the hotel from Sensoji Temple, the more her aunt thought about the master's words, the more reasonable she felt. Why was it so late to deal with Lu Mingze and Jiajia? I can’t decide for a long time...it’s just because I lack that little bit of fate!
Not only did Lu Mingze and Jiajia lack a little bit of fate, but his family and Director Chen's family also lacked a little bit of fate! Think about why you always feel that you are so close to the final step. It is because you have the right occasion and the right opportunity to break through the window paper with Director Chen and his family and decide on the relationship between the two children. It’s a matter of time!
So when my uncle and Lu Mingze were snoring loudly, my aunt stayed up late at night, thinking hard. She looked up on her mobile phone the best places for couples to establish a relationship.
The first place in the vote was the amusement park, saying that boys have the highest success rate in confessing their love on the Ferris wheel.
This option was passed by his aunt on the spot. He knew that his son would never be able to express his love on the Ferris wheel. The matter of the two children must be finalized by their parents in person, but there is no Ferris wheel that can accommodate six people. Wheel? Moreover, it was too childish to discuss the life-long events of two children with Director Chen and his family on the Ferris wheel. The Ferris wheel swayed in mid-air as soon as I clapped my hands and stamped my feet... That scene felt weird even thinking about it.
The second and third places in the vote were the aquarium and the cinema respectively.
These two options were mercilessly ignored by my aunt. These places are indeed quite romantic, but romance is not enough. Talking about the two children in front of turtles, sharks or the big movie screen will make Director Chen and his family I feel like my family doesn’t pay enough attention to it.
My aunt secretly complained that the people who voted for this ranking must be children who have not grown up. Children only care about eating, drinking and having fun, and do not understand how complicated and profound the adult world is. Just when my aunt felt that she could not be kicked out When she was feeling dejected at this last step, a pop-up window suddenly appeared from her mobile phone page.
"'Ristorante Honda', your perfect choice for dates and engagements."
It was an advertisement for a restaurant. My aunt subconsciously wanted to fork out the advertisement, but she couldn't exit the page. Just when she was wondering if her phone was infected with a virus, she suddenly saw that there was another picture on the page of this advertisement. Coupon for half price.
The housewife's desire to take advantage and her vigilance were at war with nature and man. In the end, based on the principle that if you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard, and you won't lose a penny after taking it, the aunt still couldn't resist the temptation.
And when her fingers crossed the coupon options, the picture on her phone made her scream in surprise.
Warm candlelight, golden champagne, exquisite meals, and a high-end environment everywhere... everything is so solemn, everything is so appropriate!
Isn't this the best occasion to take that final kick! Mainly because my aunt also received a half-price coupon for all meals! Guests of two or more will receive a complimentary dessert!
It was really not in vain that she listened to the master and spent a total of 50,000 yen at Sensoji Temple to form a good relationship with Guanyin. She didn't expect it to be so effective! The rewards come so quickly!
