After seeing Han Jiayi, the staff in the store greeted her and further confirmed her identity as the store manager.
Bai Renzong was a little uncomfortable at this moment, and he felt like he was entering the enemy headquarters alone. At this time, Han Jiayi followed the waiter who came and greeted him, "Oh, I'll come here in person, you don't have to worry about it."
These words made Bai Renzong feel a little cold on his back, but he soon calmed down.
What's there to be afraid of? He told the truth. Besides, he is also an old customer here and often comes here to eat. As an old customer, what's wrong with criticizing him? He said nothing wrong.
Han Jiayi took him alone to a compartment, which seemed to be a place for employees to eat.
Then Han Jiayi went to change into the chef's clothes and said while holding her hair, "You can wait here for a while, and I'll bring it over after I've prepared it for you. Anyway, as long as there is A5 and beef, it's fine, right?"
"Well..." Bai Renzong responded, but thought to himself: This girl looks so beautiful in a chef's uniform.
Usually, Han Jiayi has a gentle and intellectual temperament, but after wearing the chef's uniform, she feels heroic and cool.
"Wait for a moment." Han Jiayi tied her hair and put on a chef's hat, then came to the kitchen.
She silently encouraged herself in her heart: Today we must leave this troll with nothing to say!
Bai Renzong sat here a little at a loss, but Han Jiayi went for about thirty minutes before returning with a tray and put several dishes on the tray in front of him.
"Actaste, mix with beef raw." Han Jiayi said, putting a small plate in front of him, and then the soup, bread, salad, side dishes and main courses behind were all placed in front of him.
The soup is French potato soup, the side dish is fried salmon, and the main dish is roasted quail.
As for salads and bread, it is provided in the set meal to make guests full.
The wagyu beef in this appetizer was rolled into the shape of roses after simple knife processing, and a little colorful seasoning was sprinkled on it. It looked very delicate, but it was just the size of a bite.
However, Bai Renzong didn’t care how much he was. Anyway, as long as he could taste it, he would be considered a accomplishment.
So he grabbed the spoon and ate it. This time he tasted completely different from the beef I had in the sushi restaurant. It was particularly soft, like a piece of pure oil, melting in the mouth. The warm butter spreads in his mouth, and then the seasonings inside, which could taste green onions, lemon juice, mint and a little cilantro.
The amount of these spices is well controlled, and it has not suppressed the taste of the beef itself, and it also neutralizes the greasy taste of the fat.
"It's really bold to use coriander here." Bai Renzong held his chin and said to himself, "A spice with such a heavy taste of coriander, if you give a little more, it will cover the taste of the beef itself and lose the charm of this dish..."
Han Jiayi snorted proudly, stood beside her arms and thought to herself: That's right, that's it, and then she praised.
"However, I don't think it's meaningful. Even if it is used just right, the effect of coriander on walnut is actually that way. I would recommend adding a little peppercorn, which may be better matched." Bai Renzong said in contemplation.
"..." Han Jiayi's brow trembled slightly.
Then Bai Renzong took turns to taste it, but nodded occasionally, while Han Jiayi was waiting for his answer with her arms in her arms.
After eating about half of each, Bai Renzong began to comment: "Overall, it's still very good."
As he said that, Bai Renzong turned to the soup: "The potatoes and cream have a delicate texture and a rich aroma; the salmon is fried so crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the seasoning is just right; the roasted quail is tender and juicy, and the filling inside is also delicious."
Han Jiayi nodded with satisfaction: That's right, that's it, keep praising!
For some reason, listening to this troll praising her, she felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment, much more proud than being praised by others. If she had braided at this time, her braided braids would definitely be raised to the sky.
"But," Bai Renzong changed his tone at this time, "first it is this soup... Because the appetizer is A5 and beef, this thing is too greasy, and it is difficult to accept the soup for the second dish with thick soup. I think if it is replaced with a soup that relieves greasy, it can better connect the past and the future, such as borscht."
"..." Han Jiayi's face darkened, she picked up her arms, and her breathing accelerated.
But Bai Renzong did not realize the danger and continued: "As for salmon and roasted quail, these two dishes were quite good. Whether it was seasoning, heat or the coordination of the whole set, they were done well, but there was one of the biggest problems overall."
As he said that, Bai Renzong pointed at the past one by one: "Oil, oil, oil, oil... is too greasy. Originally, the appetizers of A5 Wagyu beef were very greasy, and the salmon were also fried, and the quail was roasted, which was very oily. If you can adjust the method, put..."
"Eat while it's hot." Han Jiayi smiled suddenly at this time, interrupting him.
"?" Bai Renzong looked at her in confusion, then turned to the plate of the appetizer in front of him: In fact, the problem lies with A5 and beef. If the appetizer is replaced with a lighter dish, this set meal is very perfect.
Although this thing is so expensive, ironically, it is embarrassing whether it is eaten alone or added to the set meal.
Because A5 and beef have too much fat content, it is so greasy to eat two slices, which makes it very awkward to add to the set meal, making it difficult to serve as the starter or as the main course.
To put it bluntly, it may not be as expensive as it is.
"Have you finished eating?" Han Jiayi asked with a smile.
But Bai Renzong felt that she seemed a little sarcastic: "It's basically finished..."
"Then pay for it first." Han Jiayi said with a smile, handing the payment code to him, "488, thank you."
Bai Renzong thought about it and seemed that he owed Han Jiayi another favor: If it weren't for this girl's help, it would be really troublesome to achieve success. Who would have thought that there were not many stores in the entire city selling this thing?
But after tasting it personally, Bai Renzong also understood why few stores sold it.
He wouldn't sell such expensive and unmarketed things...
"Thank you." After scanning the code to pay, Bai Renzong looked at Han Jiayi and asked, "But you haven't eaten yet, are you? Otherwise, I'll invite you to eat something?"
"No, I'll help in the store in the afternoon. I'll go eat something myself later." Han Jiayi smiled patiently, "You go back first, I won't leave with you."
"Okay." Bai Renzong nodded, "I'm sorry at noon today...I'm sorry. I'll treat you to dinner another day, just use it as compensation."
After Bai Renzong left, Han Jiayi's face darkened and she stomped her feet in anger: "Why can this person always pick out the thorns? My teacher clearly praised my set meal back then!"
