They are now on the fourth floor of No. 5 The Bund, No. 20 Yuedong Road, which is also a very famous Western restaurant in Shanghai - Ruth's Chris Steakhouse.
Because Xia Yu had searched for top-ranked restaurants in Shanghai before, he knew this steak house. If he wanted to eat well here, the average cost per person would be at least a thousand.
The per capita consumption in most restaurants is floating. The poor have their own way of ordering and the rich have their own way of eating. Before, Xia Yu could even order dishes that were not on the menu at Tangge.
Xia Yu didn't know what kind of experience he would have this time at Ruth's Chris, and he was looking forward to it, after all, this was his first time in a Western restaurant.
The first time doesn’t mean he will be nervous. Xia Yu has fried steak at home many times and is pretty good at using a knife and fork. In comparison, he is more looking forward to the taste of the steak.
"Do you two have an appointment?"
When the waiter saw Xia Yu and Jiang Baiying come in, he came forward and greeted them.
"Yes, my last name is Jiang!"
Jiang Baiying stood up and said.
Because it is not far from home, she has eaten at this restaurant several times with her parents. She thought it was delicious and made a note of it, so she brought Xia Yu here this time.
"It's Ms. Jiang. Please follow me."
The waiter led Xia Yu and the other person directly to the best seat by the window.
It is basically impossible to book a seat like this, but Jiang Lei has a black card, so such a small matter can be solved with just one phone call.
But Xia Yu could be Xia Yu, Xia Yu, or Xia Yu. Jiang Lei, who has never figured out Xia Yu's gender, thought his daughter was inviting her best friend to dinner today. Who would have thought that the person she invited was a bad boy.
Sure enough, the cost of raising a daughter is too high. It is not easy to grow the cabbages in your own garden to be lush and green, but they will be eaten by pigs if you are not careful.
Whether Xia Yu was a pig or not was another matter. After he sat down, the waiter handed him the menu.
"Senior, you don't have to be polite. Just order whatever you want."
Jiang Baiying and Xia Yu said something again.
Although she doesn't have the bad habit of spending money indiscriminately, when she invites guests to dinner, she should make sure that the guests eat well and have enough, not to mention that today is a memorable day.
Yes, to commemorate her and Xia Yu becoming neighbors.
"Okay, don't worry, I won't help you save money."
Xia Yu also said with a smile.
I exchanged a bowl of wontons worth 9 cents for today's meal, it was worth it.
After almost finishing looking at the menu, Xia Yu called the waiter over again.
"I'd like to order a T-bone, medium rare, and..."
"T-bone" refers to T-bone steak. There are many types of steaks in Western restaurants. Fillet, sirloin, ribeye, and tomahawk are all names of steaks, which look dazzling.
If you have trouble making a choice, you can't go wrong by ordering a T-bone steak.
Because this type of steak is divided into two sides, the side with less is fillet and the side with more is sirloin. You can taste the tenderness of fillet steak and feel the aroma of sirloin, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
As for asking for medium-rare, it’s because Xia Yu is not brave enough to risk trying medium-rare yet. Maybe he will gain the courage after eating it a few more times?
It was Jiang Baiying's turn. She ordered a small filet mignon with shrimp. The portion was much smaller than the T-bone, but her appetite was limited. For dinner, a bowl of wontons would fill her up, unlike the last time when Xia Yu went back and had to order an extra meal.
"By the way, Senior, do you want to drink?"
When she got to the end, Jiang Baiying suddenly remembered and asked.
They had only ordered dishes and hadn't ordered any drinks yet.
Some people say that Western food has no soul without alcohol. At this time, people who don’t drink will start cursing. Xia Yu can drink, but I didn’t expect Jiang Baiying can also drink.
"Aren't you underage?"
Minors are not allowed to drink alcohol. In China, the age is 18, while in the United States it is even more extreme, at 21. However, not many people abide by it. But in Xia Yu's memory, Jiang Baiying has nothing to do with alcohol!
"I don't drink, so I asked you if you want to drink."
Jiang Baiying blinked and said that she didn't drink and had no habit of drinking.
"Me? I'm not driving today, so I can drink a little."
Xia Yu opened the wine list and found that compared with the bilingual Chinese and English menu, the wine list was actually all in English.
If he was blind before, he is also blind now.
I can understand what these wines are called, but who knows if they taste good? After all, these are Xia Yu's first time drinking.
"Then have a glass of Riesling!"
Xia Yu randomly picked a glass of semi-dry white wine from Alsace, France. Even if he didn't understand it, he had to try it. He would understand it after trying it more.
"Okay, please wait a moment!"
After noting down all the dishes, the waiter left, leaving Xia Yu and Jiang Baiying looking at each other.
"Student Jiang, you've spent a lot of money this time."
Xia Yu made small talk.
He just looked at it and he ordered over a thousand yuan by himself.
"No, I brought my card with me today, it's definitely enough."
Thinking that Xia Yu felt that he didn't have enough money on him, Jiang Baiying quickly took out a black card from her pocket to indicate that she could afford the payment.
Is this the legendary black card?
No, this is the supplementary card of the black card!
Large-value credit cards can be used to apply for additional cards, and the American Express Black Card is no exception.
Jiang Baiying, who is still a freshman in college, does not have a black card, but Jiang Lei helped her apply for a secondary card. Whenever she needs to spend money, she can use this card, and when she needs to pay back the money next month, it can be directly deducted from the main card.
So it would be more accurate to say that Jiang Lei treated Xia Yu to today's meal, although he himself didn't know it.
As Jiang Lei's only daughter, Jiang Baiying has a lot of pocket money, but apart from this card, most of her money has been converted into high-yield private equity funds and real estate, and there is only less than one million in her deposit account for pocket money.
As for cars, since I am not old enough to get a driver's license, I naturally don't have one.
In addition to Jiang Lei's driving, Jiang Baiying mostly took public transportation, like she just took the ferry to get across the river, and after dinner she had to take the subway back to school.
It's no wonder that her prominent family background has never been discovered by anyone as she is so low-key. However, if the gossips at school knew about this, there would be an uproar.
Jiang Baiying is already a goddess, so now she is the goddess of goddesses, right?
They must not know about this. Xia Yu decided to keep this secret and only he knew it.
"I know you're rich, but does anyone in school know that?"
Xia Yu thought about it and felt that it was not safe, so he asked again,
"No, I only stayed in the dormitory for a short time, and the roommate group wasn't very lively."
Jiang Baiying said, shaking her head.
The people who are most likely to know her identity at school are definitely her roommates, but Jiang Baiying spends most of her spare time in the library, so naturally she is not very familiar with her roommates.
"I think it's not that your roommate group is not lively, but that you are not in that lively group."
Xia Yu told the truth.
