Chapter 298: Pay Attention to Degrees
The Western restaurant in Jinjiang Hotel is very trendy in the eyes of Chi Xueli and Jiang Shuyi, but it is very "nostalgic" in Zhou Zhi's eyes.
Purple red tablecloths, velvet seats, table lamps and other decorations, in Zhou Zhi's eyes, this is called "Republic of China mansion style"
But the walls in the hall The paintings are all works by contemporary Chinese painters, and they are all quite excellent. Zhou Zhi has seen several signatures along the way, and he has seen them in the collection that Manager Fei of the Gongmei Mall showed to him.
This is actually the foundation. In a few decades, these paintings will be worth millions of masterpieces by famous artists.
Amidst the melodious piano music, a waiter wearing a suit, vest and tie came over and took Chi Xueli, Zhou Zhi and Jiang Shuyi to their seats in the restaurant.
There are all small tables here, and the largest one can only accommodate four people. Zhou Zhi knew that he would need to add more seats soon.
Everyone sat down and after the waiter refilled the lemonade, Chi Xueli asked the waiter where the phone was, and she went to call Jiang Wu's pager.
Zhou Zhi noticed that Jiang Shuyi was a little nervous and couldn't help but smile: "Don't be afraid Shuyi, it's just a dinner. Compared to our dining etiquette, each eats on his own plate with a knife and fork. It’s pretty simple.”
“Looking around, it’s not as good as the study salon you arranged. The purple tablecloth is paired with blue velvet, and the accessories are silver metal. Do you think it’s appropriate?”
"It's better to match blue velvet with gold or logs." Jiang Shuyi thought for a moment: "There is also a tablecloth, it is best to add a layer of white."
Zhou Zhi gave Jiang Shuyi a thumbs up: "Shuyi you The aesthetics are correct. Although this place is very famous, the decoration aesthetics are actually relatively old and have not reached the level of the third level. The level of the restaurant matches that of a star-rated hotel.”
“I heard it will be upgraded to four stars soon. I hope it will be better after the renovation.”
“I come here often. It's the same place." Jiang Shuyi took a sip from the lemonade cup and muttered in passing.
After leaving Jiachuan, Jiang Shuyi seemed to feel much more comfortable, and she felt more confident when talking to Zhou Zhi.
When she was in her hometown, her appearance and temperament brought her troubles and burdens. It was not until she met Zhou Zhi that the situation improved slightly.
However, in a big city like Shudu, he almost always gets envious looks and heartfelt praise.
Although this may be an illusion, just that the people Jiang Shuyi met in Shudu were all very good to her, but such a "deviation" has basically become a problem in Jiang Shuyi's case. Taken shape.
"L'apparenzainganna. Isn't it English? Zhou Zhi, what do you mean?"
"Yin Susu told Zhang Wuji before she died." Zhou Zhi smiled and said: "Pretty girls can lie. Sister Qin Dangchi invited us to eat Western food out of kindness, but she obviously wanted to see my jokes.”
"But you know Western food etiquette, and you taught us it. You use fried eggs, bread, onion rings and fried ham." Jiang Shuyi felt that the "competitiveness" between Zhou Zhi and Sister Chi was really boring. .
Then he suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhou Zhi suspiciously: "You didn't make up that set of etiquette, and it's about to be revealed now, right?"
Zhou Zhi stretched out his hand gently He lightly scratched Jiang Shuyi's nose: "Nonsense, how could I do such a thing? We'll do it in a while, and it will scare Sister Chi."
Jiang Shuyi was really attracted by Zhou Zhi. Sudden intimacy frightens He jumped a lot and looked nervously at Chi Xueli. Then, knowing that his brother and sister-in-law would not show up, he looked worriedly at the door of the restaurant, then turned to Zhou Zhi and said angrily: "Zhou Zhi, what are you doing?"
"Ah, I'm sorry..." Zhou Zhi just acted in a moment of forgetfulness. Only now did he feel that something was wrong, and he quickly apologized to Jiang Shuyi: "I don't know how...it just happened..."
"Don't do it next time." Jiang Shuyi did not criticize Zhou Zhi too much. She lowered her head and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Sister Chi is here..." "Okay Shuyi, your brother and sister-in-law will be here soon. Your brother is worried that you are hungry, so let me eat first and not wait for them." Chi Xueli snapped his fingers at the waiter.
"Miss Chi, hello, what do you need?" The waiter obviously knew Chi Xueli, but he retained considerable professionalism.
“What do you want to eat, elbow?” Chi Xueli handed the menu to Zhou Zhi.
“What else can we eat?” Zhou Zhi glanced at the menu: “This only has steak, pasta, and a cream of mushroom soup.”
"I don't want pasta." Chi Xueli said: "Then three steaks, three soups, and two pastas."
"One pasta is enough, Shu Yi and I will share it equally , another salad, remember to add egg whites, that’s it.”
“May I ask what kind of steak you want, and how much. Ripe?”
“I want it with black pepper, and Shu Yi wants it with red wine, it’s about nine degrees cooked.”
“Is it leaking?” Chi Xueli smiled. Be like a fox: "No one who knows steak will order it more than medium rare. I also want red wine, medium rare."
Zhou Zhi did not argue with Chi Xueli and smiled without saying a word.
When the waiter left, Zhou Zhi smiled at Jiang Shuyi and said, "Shuyi, I'll teach you to be a good boy. The beef used to make steaks is graded."
"Every time Every country has its own standards for measuring beef, so beef grading varies from country to country, but no matter which country, the most intuitive reference factor for beef grade is the marbled pattern of beef."
"There you have it. one The international standard is called BMS, which is Beef Marbling Standard. "
"Snowflake texture refers to the texture that appears in the best beef and is formed by the mixture of muscle and fat. It is as complex and dense as marble snowflakes. , and based on the fineness of the snowflake pattern and other indicators, the quality of the beef can be determined. ”
"Generally speaking, the closer the muscle fat ratio is, the more uniform the pattern distribution, and the more delicate the beef, the higher the standard it meets."
"The American standard is based on the beef between the sixth and seventh ribs. The physiological age and maturity of BMS Wagyu beef itself is divided into three standards: Gold, Black and Silver. "
"Japan is based on the origin - Kobe is the highest; the color of the meat; the tightness and texture of the meat. ; Color, luster and quality of fat As well as the BMS texture standard, there are twelve grades. The highest grade is called 'Frost Beef'. "
"In addition to BMS, the Australian beef rating standards also include meat color, fat color and back fat. and carcass physiological maturity five "
"If the beef produced by the Jinjiang Hotel Western Restaurant reaches the minimum standard of beef mentioned above, it will only make sense for us to discuss the degree of rareness of the steak. Otherwise, it will be a comparison..."< br>
"What's better?" Chi Xueli was already so angry that her teeth were itching, but after hearing what Zhou Zhi said so clearly, she didn't dare to question it. She knew that Zhou Zhi would never spit out ivory from his mouth, but he couldn't help but be curious.
“It’s just like eating fermented glutinous rice eggs, but also pays attention to the alcohol content...”
“Pfft!” Jiang Shuyi, who was drinking water, couldn’t hold it in for a while, turned her head and squirted the water in her mouth. out.
