Chapter 212: Angry
After sighing, Lin Siqiao asked his doubts.
She had heard before that although Lao Mo's was a Russian restaurant, it also served British, French, German, and Italian dishes.
But now there is nothing on the menu.
After listening to this, the waiter said with an indifferent expression.
"It's long gone. These are all we can order now."
"So that's how it is."
Lin Siqiao smiled. She thought there would be some hidden menu, but it seemed she was overthinking.
"Sorry this is our first time here, is there anything you can recommend?"
"It depends on what you want to eat. The borscht is okay. Many people order it."
The waiter's attitude was still indifferent, and there was a laziness in his voice.
Lin Siqiao asked, "Anything else?"
"this."
The waiter pointed to the creamy grilled mixed salad on the menu and said, "A lot of people order this, too."
"Anything else besides these?"
"Many people also ordered the braised beef."
Lin Siqiao discovered that the waiters here were like squeezing toothpaste.
She only answers when you ask her, and she's too lazy to say more.
I have to say, this attitude is very similar to that of the sales clerks selling luxury goods in later generations.
This is a big taboo in the service industry!
After several rounds of communication, Lin Siqiao's interest was obviously not as high.
"This, this, and this. I need this much first."
After a pause, Lin Siqiao deliberately said, "Comrade, I don't eat onions. Can you not put them in the creamy grilled salad?"
"I'm sorry, no, the food inside has already been put in."
"Enjoy your meal, both of you."
The waiter took the menu back and left without looking back.
This made Lin Siqiao angry. If she hadn't come here to experience it herself, she really wouldn't have believed that the waiter could be so arrogant.
No, doesn’t the person in charge of this restaurant care?
While waiting for the food, several tables of guests came into the restaurant one after another.
Seeing that there were two bearded foreigners inside, Lin Siqiao immediately stretched his neck to look over.
She wanted to see if the waiters here all had two faces.
The result was very unexpected.
The waiters here really treat everyone equally, and the same was true of the two foreign friends.
I don't know if they have communication problems.
After sitting down and looking at the menu for a while, the two foreign friends shook their heads and left.
The waiter was not surprised. After taking a look, he lowered his head and started picking his nails again.
"The food is here, eat it while it's hot."
Lu Jianchuan picked up a little of each for Lin Siqiao, and he could tell.
Xiao Qiao came here today not to eat, but to inquire about the situation.
"Well, you eat too."
Lin Siqiao nodded and scooped a spoonful of beetroot soup into his mouth.
Borscht is actually borscht, which is the most common dish in Western restaurants.
This soup is a basic dish, and generally speaking, it won’t be too bad when made by a chef.
But Lin Siqiao would rather call the bowl of beetroot soup in front of him tomato vegetable soup.
I think the chefs in the kitchen have made a series of improvements on the original basis in order to cater to the taste of Chinese people.
So, it's not bad, but the taste is not authentic at all.
Lin Siqiao tasted each one and had a general idea in her mind. She reached out and called the waiter over.
When the waiter came over, he glanced at the dishes on the table that had hardly been touched.
"Comrade, waste is shameful! Are you sure you want to order more?"
"Yes, we will pack up the food if we can't finish it. Don't worry, we will make sure not a single drop will be wasted."
The waiter didn't say anything else, but looked at Lu Jianchuan.
She has been working here for several years and has seen all kinds of people.
Many people save up a month's salary just to come here and see the world.
There are also those young people who go on blind dates and will deliberately change the blind date location here just for the sake of vanity.
Everything was fine when the food was served, but when it came to the bill, they started arguing with each other.
Because of this, there were some fights.
So now whenever the waiters encounter this kind of young comrade, they are very cautious.
Lin Siqiao was speechless again. She ordered the dishes, and the waiter looked at Lu Jianchuan with a meaning. Was she the kind of person who ate without paying?
"Just do as she says."
Lu Jianchuan only said this one sentence and the waiter nodded immediately.
"Okay, wait a moment, it will be ready soon."
“…”
Lin Siqiao was so angry that she was really irritated after this meal.
When the restaurant in the embassy district opens, she must emphasize this issue to her employees.
She doesn't require the waiter's attitude to be very good, but at least you can't make the customers feel angry!
"Don't be angry, it's not worth it for something like this."
Lu Jianchuan poured her a cup of warm water and coaxed her for a long time before she calmed down.
Lin Siqiao was in a bad mood and Lu Jianchuan's appetite was not good either, so in the end half of the dishes were packed up and taken away.
After returning home, Lin Siqiao locked himself in the study and quickly sorted out the thoughts in his mind.
Next, she will be busy.
The next morning, Director Hu's driver Xiao Qin came to pick up Lin Siqiao, and a female comrade came with him.
The man was in his thirties, and both his appearance and his dress showed that he was a very capable man.
While Lin Siqiao was looking at her, the other party had already stretched out her hand.
"Hello, Manager Lin, I'm the assistant assigned to you by Director Hu. My name is Wu Xuan."
"Hello."
Lin Siqiao shook hands back politely, thinking that the other party's surname was Wu, and then thinking about what his senior brother had said before, the other party was one of them.
She asked directly, "Minister Wu said you are one of them. Are you and he?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan was obviously stunned.
"Is it inconvenient to say?"
“Neither do I.”
Wu Xuan shook her head. She just didn't expect that Minister Wu would take the initiative to inform Manager Lin about this matter.
You know, that's what he said the most before.
"When you go out, you can only rely on your own abilities. Don't rely on the Wu family's connections to do whatever you want."
"Otherwise, don't blame him for being the first one to come out and clean up the mess."
Therefore, Wu Xuan never told anyone that she had a cousin who was a minister in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, nor did she mention anything about the Wu family.
"He is my eldest cousin."
Lin Siqiao knew what was going on when he heard it. "Let's go, let's talk in the car."
The two of them sat in the back together, and because of the relationship with the senior brother, their relationship became much closer.
Wu Xuan did not look down on Lin Siqiao just because she was young. In her opinion, a person's ability was not limited by age.
Otherwise, Director Hu would not be able to entrust the affairs of the embassy area restaurant to Manager Lin with confidence.
Furthermore, a girl who can impress her cousin must not be an ordinary girl.
Taking advantage of this free time, Wu Xuan gave a detailed introduction to her previous work experience and some ideas about the restaurant.
Lin Siqiao did not interrupt her, but listened carefully and gave her own opinion.
All I can say is that the two of them have a tacit understanding on certain things.
For example, they all made some plans in advance, and they had similar requirements and suggestions for employee training.
We both feel very lucky to be able to work with such people.
More than an hour later, the car arrived at the restaurant in the embassy area.
Lin Siqiao saw from a distance a group of foreign guests gathered outside the restaurant.
I don’t know what’s going on, but everyone looks very excited.
