After the two of them entered the “food for heaven” restaurant, they immediately ordered a signature dish and some of the restaurant’s specialties.
Because the business of this restaurant was quite good, Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan waited for a while.
However, when she saw the dishes, Lin yuelan lost her appetite.
This was because the so-called stir-fried duck meat was actually a layer of pig oil wrapped around the duck meat and then fried in a pot.
Because of the oil and the pan-fried food, it was quite fragrant and looked much more delicious than the other dishes.
However, for Lin yuelan, who was good at cooking, and Jiang Zhennan, who was used to eating all kinds of delicious food, this dish was hard to swallow.
After Lin yuelan took a look, she didn’t even want to put her chopsticks in. Jiang Zhennan picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of slightly yellow duck breast and put it into his mouth.
However, as soon as it entered his mouth, he chewed and frowned. Then, he put down his chopsticks and sighed to Lin yuelan, “Miss Yue ‘Er, this can’t be compared with what you’ve made! It’s really too unpalatable!”
Indeed, compared to Lin yuelan’s dishes, which had all the colors, fragrances, and flavors, these dishes were all greasy and simply unpalatable.
When Jiang Zhennan said this, the waiter happened to hear it.
These two said their signature dishes were unpalatable. It was really infuriating.
The waiter ran over and suddenly scolded fiercely, ” you two paupers! If you don’t know how to eat and can’t afford it, then don’t order this dish. After ordering, you’re still talking nonsense. I’m warning you, don’t think that just because you gave a bad review to this dish, you can have a free meal here. Let me tell you, don’t even think about it!”
Having been used to being a waiter in this restaurant, he also had some discerning eyes. He could judge the status of the guests based on their clothes or their extravagance. Then, he could customize his service attitude accordingly.
The waiter looked at Lin yuelan and Jiang Zhennan. Although they were dressed neatly, they were dressed in coarse sackcloth. In addition, when they came in, they looked around curiously and did some disdainful actions. He immediately judged that these two were poor people who wanted to cheat for food and drink.
Therefore, it was impossible for his attitude to be respectful.
Hearing the waiter’s scolding, Jiang Zhennan’s face darkened. His sharp eyes shot a menacing glare at the waiter, and he shouted in a deep voice, “Apologize now!”
They were only here to eat, not to be humiliated.
Of course, they didn’t want to eat the dishes if they didn’t taste good. Of course, they understood that they had to pay for the dishes they ordered, regardless of whether they ate or not.
However, Lin yuelan was humiliated.
This made him angry!
When the waiter looked into Jiang Zhennan’s dark eyes, it was as if he would be sucked into the dark abyss. It made him feel afraid.
The waiter shuddered and snapped back to his senses. He did not dare to look into Jiang Zhennan’s eyes. He lowered his head and said with a little lack of confidence, “Why should I apologize? You ordered the dishes and didn’t eat. You must be looking for an excuse not to pay. You want to eat without paying. Am I wrong? ”
The scene where the waiter and the guest quarreled became boisterous at once.
The surrounding customers also put down their chopsticks and joined in the fun.
Perhaps this was human nature.
Whether it was in ancient times or modern times, people loved to watch the fun and gossip.
Jiang Zhennan did not argue with the waiter. He shouted sternly for the second time, “Apologize!”
This majestic aura made the waiter sweat profusely as if he was suffocating, and even the surrounding guests who were watching the show suddenly felt breathless.
After a moment of silence, the shopkeeper at the counter heard the commotion and immediately put down his Abacus. He walked over and broke the silence.
He took a look and immediately judged that the people at Jiang Zhennan’s table were the guests who were arguing with the waiter.
He raised his hand and bowed to Jiang Zhennan. He asked humbly, ” Sir, is there anything that you are not satisfied with? ”
With a cold expression, Jiang Zhennan glanced at the dishes on the table with his eyes half-lowered and said very honestly, ” these dishes are really terrible, especially this fried duck. It is so greasy. Can’t I say that your food tastes bad? Does your waiter have to call us poor?”
After following Lin yuelan for a long time, Jiang Zhennan’s cold and reticent character changed slightly. At least now, he would argue with others. This was something that was meaningless to him in the past.
Upon hearing Jiang Zhennan’s words, whether it was the shopkeeper, the waiter, or the people around who were watching the show, their expressions changed slightly. Especially the shopkeeper, his expression became even uglier.
No customer had ever said that their restaurant’s signature dishes were not delicious, except for those who deliberately wanted to find fault with them. They wanted to eat but couldn’t afford to pay, so they would say some bad things to get a free meal.
Therefore, the shopkeeper’s thoughts were the same as the waiter’s.
He changed his previous politeness and asked with a dark face, ” Sir, you said that our dishes are not delicious. Why don’t you ask the other guests whether the dishes are delicious or not? ”
As he spoke, he immediately looked at the other guests.
These customers were more or less familiar with the shopkeeper, so they cooperated and replied, ” this dish is obviously delicious.”
The shopkeeper then turned to Jiang Zhennan and said, ” Sir, you see, everyone says it’s delicious, but only the two of you say it’s not. So, we have reason to suspect that you’re just looking for an excuse to eat for free!” He emphasized the last two words.
“Who is trying to eat for free?” A voice came from outside.
