Chapter 655 Three Germans
The food was served quickly.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the waiter brought what they ordered.
The pasta placed in front of Xiao Zhong was not placed in a bowl, but on a plate.
The marinade on top is tomato beef sauce, and some cheese powder is sprinkled on it.
The three colors of yellow, red and white were superimposed one after another, making Xiao Zhong stunned.
He has always thought that noodles are nothing more than soup noodles, fried noodles, braised noodles and sesame sauce noodles, but he never thought that there are such weird-looking noodles and such inexplicable braised noodles in the world.
But it smells fragrant and looks bright in color, and it seems pretty good.
Unfortunately, the cutlery the waiter brought next to the plate was a fork.
Xiao Zhong wanted to break his head, but he didn’t know how to use this thing to eat noodles.
"Man, do you have chopsticks?"
"Sorry, no, our German restaurant only has knives, forks and spoons."
Xiao Zhong's face turned red, and he didn't dare to ask anymore. Don't dare to act rashly.
Only rubbing his two sweaty hands under the table.
The "Supo" ordered by Kang Shude was served in a small white porcelain soup bowl, which was far less affordable than the large bowl given by Chinese restaurants.
And this thing is still a semi-solidified liquid with a milky white surface color.
In addition to exuding a light milk fragrance, there are also some green powder sprinkled on top.
It looks strange.
The most loyal thing about Bi Xiao is that the waiter gave Kang Shude a spoon, which anyone can use.
And the soup was served with several slices of sliced bread, which were also placed on small white porcelain plates.
This is also in line with Kang Shude's imagination of Western food.
However, due to the restraint in his temperament, he was still not in a hurry to taste it, and wanted to wait until the waiter left before everyone could eat together.
As for what Li Lidian said, that is what really surprised people.
What the waiter placed in front of him were two large cups of ice cream that were as big as a small snow mountain.
One is white, the other is yellow, and there is a mini German flag on each.
Just looking at the cold frost on the cup makes people feel cold.
Not only Kang Shude and Xiao Zhong looked dumbfounded.
Li Li himself was even more frightened and trembled.
"This...this...is this?"
The waiter responded, "You ordered milk ice cream and vanilla ice cream."
Li Li continued to stutter and repeat the unfamiliar words, still in disbelief.
"Ice...ice...cream? I...did I order this?"
The waiter opened the foreign language MENU and flipped to the place where Li Li had just pulled it, and pointed it to Li Li look.
“These are the two you just ordered.”
Li Li was dejected and could only admit defeat.
"Okay, I get it..."
After saying that, he took a big mouthful with a small spoon and grinned because of the ice.
The look of embarrassment made Xiao Zhong and Kang Shude both lower their heads, and they almost couldn't help but laugh.
Li Lideng felt embarrassed immediately.
Maybe he is not willing to suffer this loss, and he also wants to find fault to express his anger.
He tapped the rim of the cup with a small spoon and picked out the flag on the ice cream.
“Hey, hey, I said, why did you insert such a thing for me, it is edible?”
The waiter said, “This is the German flag, it is the decoration on the ice cream. You can’t eat it.”
Li Lideng immediately understood.
"Since it is decoration, why not put a flower? Why not put a hanging person like an old birthday girl or Magu? It looks festive and auspicious, and it is clear at a glance. You have to do such a weird thing. The patterned paper flags are like a trick to bring funeral paper to the guests’ mouths. It’s better to bring a bowl of hot water.”
The waiter replied, "We are a German restaurant, and the ice cream is only served with the German flag. This is the boss' request and is also the custom of Shilin."
Probably he saw that Li Li was quite capable of messing around.
The waiter didn't want to say anything more because he couldn't afford to offend him, so he quickly turned around and left.
But the problem is that Li Li then remembered that the thing he ordered was still the same.
Perhaps he thought that drinking wine would keep him warmer, and he looked expectant again.
He immediately shouted at the waiter's back.
“Waiter, don’t leave, come back!”
The waiter immediately ran over and asked if he had any other orders.
Li Li asked carelessly.
“Hey, where is the foreign wine I wanted? Why hasn’t it been served yet?”
"Please have a seat. We have sent someone to get it for you. They will be here soon."
As he said this, the wine arrived.
Another waiter brought a large cup of steaming, black stuff with a layer of white foam on it, and placed it in front of Li Li.
"This...I ordered this too? What is this?"
Li Li couldn't help but feel like he was about to get angry and start a fight.
Xiao Zhong and Kang Shude were also dumbfounded.
I am thinking, no way! Is this wine? Why is it also cold?
Kang Shude had more knowledge and helped Li Li ask the waiter.
"Is this wrong? There are bubbles in it. It looks like Dutch water to me..."
But the waiter insisted.
"Sir, that's right. This is a specialty wine that we only have here, a dark beer from Munich, Germany. Didn't you see that there is foam on it? Dutch water only has bubbles, but not such thick white foam."
The waiter finished speaking and left again.
Li Li had no choice but to take a sip of the dark beer and immediately pushed it away.
Not only could he not stand the temperature, he could not stand the steamy, spicy, bitter taste.
This time, the facial features were simply misaligned, and I couldn’t help but curse with resentment.
"All the people in Jinmen are green-skinned, not a single red-faced one, even the foreigners who open restaurants. Damn it, do you think he is sincere..."
It was Xiao Zhong who said this. To be fair, "Who can you rely on? This is called suffering for yourself..."
It should be said that Xiao Zhong and Kang Shude's first experience of Western food was quite good.
The taste of Italian macaroni and cream of mushroom soup both surprised them, giving them an unprecedented taste bud experience.
Except for the strong milky smell of "Supo", Kang Shude felt a little tired after eating it and didn't finish it.
Xiao Zhong also had a fork that didn't fit well in his hand. He watched other people at other tables imitate others using forks to roll noodles and eat them, feeling like a bear playing with a fork.
I can’t fault it any more.
And the most important thing is that the dishes they want are all hot and not uncomfortable to eat.
Unlike Li Li, everything he ate and drank was ice-cold, as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice. Take one bite and shiver, take another bite and shiver again...
When Kang Shude and Xiao Zhong were almost done eating, he ate one of the two ice creams Li Li asked for.
The large glass of dark beer and the vanilla ice cream were basically untouched.
Kang Shude felt that he couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked Li Li to order another one.
Li Li, who was already in a pretentious state, was naturally overjoyed.
However, just as he was touching the menu, Xiao Zhong pressed it and turned around and said Kang Shude.
"You're too spoiled to him, aren't you encouraging him to be greedy? We have to teach this kid a lesson."
He turned to Li Li and said, "Those things of yours were also bought with money. Yes. The food here is so expensive. If you don’t want to eat it, who will eat it? Why don’t you pay for it today..."
Kang Shude couldn’t bear to do it, so he stood up for Li Li and Xiao. Zhong begged for mercy.
"Don't argue with him. You didn't look at him and his face turned green. You also know that unlike us, he ate sesame biscuits and fried dough sticks, and there was nothing warm in his stomach at all. This It’s winter, don’t make yourself sick by eating foreign food. I can’t explain it to Mr. Li when I get back. Forget it, let him order another one. If he can’t eat it, we’ll share it.”< br>
In this way, Xiao Zhong was showing his respect to Li Li. "You kid, if you want to be well-off, you have to rely on me. If you don't eat, I will force these into your mouth."
Li Li learned his lesson this time and stopped ordering randomly from the foreign language menu. He honestly picked up the Chinese menu and studied it.
After studying for a long time, he said, "Then I'll order some stir-fry. Let's try the stir-fry here too?"
Seeing that neither Kang Shude nor Xiao Zhong had any objections, he clapped the table. There was another sound from the mountain.
“Waiter, where is the person?”
Uncle Jing’s enthusiasm immediately attracted the attention of the whole audience and forced the waiter to jog over again.
But what's the result?
After a while, the waiter followed his order and brought him another oversized ice cream topped with chocolate sauce, with a small German flag on top.
Li Like really couldn't stand it this time, especially the surprised looks that Xiao Zhong and Kang Shude looked at him.
Feeling aggrieved and angry, he clenched his fists and protested at the waiter.
"You got the wrong one! You got the wrong one! You must have got the wrong one! I didn't want this!"
The waiter was still very calm, opened the Chinese menu, and calmly confronted him face to face.
“Look, this is what you ordered just now, right?”
“That’s right.”
“That’s right, this is the fried buckle you want. Come to Sande."
"Ah? Isn't this stir-fried? You clearly have the word 'stir-fried' written on it..."
"You misunderstood. Cha Kou Lai is a unique Western sweet, with this black sauce. Sande and ice cream are almost the same thing, but the texture is softer."
"No, no. What's going on with your menu? Why do everything on it taste the same?"
"That's not the case. Mainly, all you ordered are cold foods."
"Then you have. Is there any tea? Is it hot? "
"Yes. On the Chinese menu, we have BLACETEA, MILKTEA, HOTCOCO..."
"Okay, what are you talking about next? Can you tell me the Chinese names?"
"Sorry, those names that don't have Chinese names yet, no one has picked them up yet. So we don't use the Chinese menu. "
The waiter's arguments made Li Li completely lose his temper.
Looking around at the tables nearby, Li immediately saw a woman sitting at one table with her little fingers raised, sipping the contents of the cup in small sips.
He pointed at the woman and said, "Just bring me a pot of foreign tea like hers."
The waiter said, "That's garnished. Here, we serve garnished in either cup or pot."
"Then have a cup, and it should be hot. The hotter, the better."
The waiter said again Asked, "Do you want more milk and sugar?"
"You have put everything that should be put away for me."
Then as soon as the waiter left, Li Li asked Kang Shude Explain to Xiao Zhong.
"Don't say anything. Can't I pay for it? I really need to drink something hot, otherwise my stomach won't be able to bear it..."
This time, both Xiao Zhong and Kang Shude were understanding. The two people looked at him sympathetically, and indeed didn't say a word.
After a while, the waiter placed a delicate small cup on a plate in front of Li Li. There was more than half a cup of brown liquid in it.
Li Li looked at the table next to him, and he couldn't help but want to be serious.
"Is this Garfield? Why is it light in color? The table next to it is dark! Have you watered it down?"
The waiter said, "This is with milk, sir. Didn't you just order milk and sugar?"
Li Li was speechless again, simply raised his neck, and drank the Chinese medicine soup. Like, pouring all the coffee into his stomach.
The waiter asked, "Do you need anything else?"
At this time, Li Li seemed to have heard the most terrifying words, covering his mouth and waving his hands.
"Don't, don't bother me, settle the accounts with us quickly. I finally understand it now. You guys, Shilin, are against me."
The waiter turned over the bill on the table and said, "One creamy mushroom soupe, one pasta, one glass of milk ice cream, one cup of vanilla ice cream, one cup of Munich black beer, and one order of stir-fried Kushner." , a cup of hot coffee, plus the service fee, the total is nine dollars, sir. "
Forget about Li Li this time, even Xiao Zhong's legs felt a little weak when he heard it.
He works as a patrol policeman, and his monthly salary is only eight yuan. So he couldn't help but speak.
"Nine yuan, why don't you want a hundred? Let's eat shabu-shabu and go to Shundong to order two tables, but we can't eat for nine yuan!"
The waiter turned to Xiao Zhong and said , "There are prices on them. We clearly mark the prices, sir."
Kang Shude was no better than those two students. He knew that whatever he said here would only embarrass himself, so he hurriedly paid the bill.
Stand up, put on a hat and scarf, take your things and leave.
However, before leaving, Li Li pinched all the small flags on the three cold dishes.
Shaking at the waiter as if to show off.
“This belongs to us. These flags and these food are the same thing.”
The waiter said, "ASYOULIKEIT."
Li Li glared, "What's the matter? Is it OK or not? Speak humanly!"
It's time now, so there is no need to provoke the waiter anymore. He immediately became respectful.
"As you wish."
After leaving Qi Shilin, Li Li abandoned Kang Shude and Xiao Zhong and ran straight to a breakfast stall diagonally across the road.
Then he munched on sesame seed cakes and drank hot soy milk.
It's so hot that I suck it, warm and hearty.
The vendor who set up the stall saw him coming out of Cheese Grove and looked at him very fresh.
"You have been in Xiaobailou, have you eaten or not?"
Li Li took out three national flags from his arms and shook them in his hand.
"Of course I did. I ate three Germans today!"
Note: 1 Dutch water, the name of soda when it first entered China.
2 Flat Hanging Noodles. In the old days, noodle shops often coiled the noodles sold into peach-shaped "longevity noodles", and then inserted an old longevity star or Magu figure on the top, which was cut and tied with silk yarn. This is the most common Dalu product among Beijing silk people, "Bian Guaren".
