"How come?"
Jiang Baiying asked in confusion, she didn't understand yet.
"Your roommates probably have a small group. If you don't play with them, they won't include you."
Xia Yu continued to explain that these were common sense that one would know after going to college, but Jiang Baiying seemed not to know them.
Yes, Xiao Jiang, who is too well protected by her parents and has no experience in the world, is a real naive girl. It is because she has always insisted on not falling in love that she has never been cheated by a man, but such a character will eventually cause her to suffer losses.
"So that's how it is."
After listening to Xia Yu's explanation, Jiang Baiying finally understood, and her originally bright eyes became a little dim.
No matter who hears such a thing, they will not be in a good mood, and she is no exception.
"Never mind all that. We're here to celebrate today. Cheers!"
Xia Yu raised the boiled water and made a proper toast. He felt that he had to do something at this time.
"Yes, we are here to celebrate, cheers!"
Jiang Baiying smiled again and the two of them clinked their glasses.
At this time, the appetizers came first, and two people ordered pan-fried foie gras.
When it comes to French cuisine, foie gras is a must-order, but in addition to French cuisine, most Western restaurants also offer this dish. Xia Yu also likes to eat liver. Stir-fried pork liver and braised duck liver are both delicious, but this is the first time he has eaten Western-style foie gras.
The plump pan-fried foie gras lies quietly on the pale yellow mashed potatoes, and the dark Italian aged wine vinegar sauce is spread around the plate. The presentation alone is very attractive.
After eating a large piece of soft baguette spread with butter, Xia Yu finally had time to taste this famous dish that was full of fat and fragrant.
Hmm~~
The foie gras is still very tender after being fried and melts in your mouth. The crunchy texture fills your entire mouth, making you want to take a second bite.
At this time, the white wine ordered by Xia Yu arrived. He took a sip of the bubbling transparent wine. The slight sweetness was intertwined with the aroma of foie gras. There was no abrupt feeling at all, as if this was the right combination.
tasty!
After finishing the appetizers, the soup and side dishes were served. They all tasted okay, but Xia Yu felt it was a bit too much. Fortunately, the main course came soon after the side dishes.
"Sizzle~~"
The huge T-bone steak still sizzles as it is served. This is because the plate holding the steak is heated to 260 degrees Celsius, and its own heat continues to heat the steak.
There are so many varieties, but I don’t know if the steak tastes good?
As soon as the waiter put the steak down, the rich aroma of meat rushed into Xia Yu's nostrils.
This was the first time he had smelled such a complex and rich fragrance.
In the past, Xia Yu fried steak with coarse salt, black pepper, butter and rosemary. These ingredients were mixed together more to bring out the aroma of the steak itself, rather than like the restaurant's method, which could produce more layers of flavor.
Both methods have their own advantages, but the one at home can be made at any time, while the one in the restaurant can only be eaten in the restaurant, and you have to choose carefully and pick a reliable one.
So is Ruth Chris reliable?
With this question in mind, Xia Yu cut off a piece of the tenderest fillet and put it directly into his mouth.
This damn tenderness made me fall in love instantly.
The meaty aroma brought by the fat mixed with the taste of various spices, exploding layer by layer in the mouth. Xia Yu couldn't help but cut off the second piece and the third piece.
The steak still tasted good as it went on, but it wasn't as tender as before.
After asking the waiter, I found out that it was because the high temperature of the plate would continue to heat the steak, and the later it got to 70% doneness, the closer it would get to well-done.
This was Xia Yu's mistake. He should have ordered medium-rare. Fortunately, he had good teeth and could have eaten it even if it wasn't well-done. But next time he came, he would still try medium-rare to see how tender it would be at the first bite.
Jiang Baiying on the opposite side was eating fillet in small bites. Her two small pieces of fillet were a whole circle smaller than Xia Yu's T-bone, and were covered with two browned shrimp balls, which looked very tempting.
But no matter how tempting it is, after eating a large piece of T-bone, even a big eater like Xia Yu would feel about 60% to 70% full.
It is better not to eat too much for dinner. After all, most people do very little exercise at night, and if you eat too much, the food that cannot be consumed will become fat.
"Dayu?"
An uncertain voice sounded behind Xia Yu.
Xia Yu turned around and saw that it was Brother Sanpang whom he met at the car club last time. Next to him was a blond-haired and blue-eyed foreigner who, judging by his clothes, should be the chef of the store.
"Brother Sanpang, why are you here too?"
Xia Yu was also surprised, but when he thought of Sanpang's work, he immediately understood.
"I came here to deliver steak. I didn't expect you to be eating here today, and with..."
When Sanpang's eyes fell on Jiang Baiying, he was stuck.
He remembered that the female companion Xia Yu brought last time didn't seem to be this one. Although they were both very beautiful, he was not face-blind and could tell the difference between long hair and short hair.
"This is my junior schoolmate, Jiang Baiying. She invited me to dinner at Ruth's Chris today."
Xia Yu quickly stood up and introduced her. Seeing Sanpang's behavior, it was clear that he recognized Jiang Baiying was not his senior.
"Hello, Miss Jiang!"
Sanpang didn't say anything, but the foreign chef next to him spoke.
"Hello to you too, Chef Paul!"
Jiang Baiying also stood up and spoke politely. It was obvious that she also knew Chef Paul.
Sometimes the world is so clever that you happen to know someone your friend's friend knows.
In the famous six degrees of separation theory, there are no more than six people between you and any stranger. Without proving whether this theory is necessarily correct, the fact is happening before our eyes.
After a round of politeness, the four of them got to know each other. Jiang Baiying got to know the chef of Ruth's Chris because she came to dine with her parents, and Xia Yu got to know Sanpang because he attended a car club.
Now the four of them all know each other, but the senior student has been temporarily excluded.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chef Paul, who speaks good Chinese, asked them what they thought of the taste.
Of course, Xia Yu told the truth about this. Foreigners are more talented in Western food like steak. However, he did not expect that the steaks at Ruth's Chris were actually supplied by Kim Jong-un. His business was indeed quite big.
Ruth's Chris is a foreign chain brand, which generally has a unified global supply. Kim Jong-un was able to break this unspoken rule and eat up all the steaks in Shanghai's Ruth's Chris by himself, which must be unique.
Xia Yu had asked for Sanpang’s contact information before because he wanted to order some high-quality steaks from him, but he was delayed because he went home for Qingming Festival. He didn’t expect to meet him by chance today.
"Mr. Xia, you ordered T-bone steak this time, but I still recommend Hongfang steak. You can try it next time you come."
Hearing that Xia Yu ordered T-bone, Paul promoted it on the spot.
