Chapter 1028: Unavoidable

Since the grilled eggplant was called an creative dish, it must be different from the ordinary grilled whole eggplants we usually see.

However, this method was neither complicated nor simple. Cut the eggplant, lay it on the stone slab, roast it with the stone slab, and then spread a layer of special sauce on the stone slab. This was an external ingredient. Roast it and serve the ingredients.

The inner layer of the eggplant naturally had seasoning. The two sauces on the inside and outside made the taste of the eggplant more layered. Moreover, the crispy skin also had a different flavor.

All the above was what Lei di had found out. As for whether it could really achieve this taste, he would only know after eating it.

“The color and fragrance are not bad, very close to Yuan Biao ‘s.” He wrote it down on the memo.

Lei ti moved his chopsticks and gently peeled off the layer of sauce on the noodles. He picked up a piece with his chopsticks, but before he put it into his mouth, he found something disgusting.

The fact that there was a small vegetable worm in the eggplant was so disgusting that Lei ti didn’t know how to react when he raised his chopsticks.

He didn’t want to eat anymore. It wasn’t that Lei ti was being pretentious, but he was in the mood to eat delicious food. If he ate a worm, it would definitely be very disgusting.

The remaining two vegetarian dishes were served at this time. Lei ti was thinking if he should try these two dishes.

“It would be a waste if I don’t try, but if I try … I don’t have much of an appetite …” Lei ti looked conflicted.

Question Lei was definitely a Libra. He had been hesitating and couldn’t make a decision even after the five dishes he ordered were served.

The waiter saw that Lei ti did not even touch his chopsticks, so he asked,””Sir, is today’s food not to your taste?”

Lei di put down his chopsticks.”I’m not sure if it’s the right flavor. I haven’t eaten it yet.”

That was even weirder. The waiter didn’t know what to say.

“I didn’t add anything. Why is there more meat in the eggplant?” Lei ti went straight to the point.

The waiter’s eyes followed the direction Lei TI’s chopsticks were pointing at and saw a green vegetable worm lying quietly in the White eggplant.

“I’m sorry, Sir. I’ll report this to our manager immediately. This is our restaurant’s responsibility, so please rest assured, Sir. We’ll definitely give you a satisfactory explanation.” The waiter apologized sincerely and gave a positive answer.

The way he handled the situation after he discovered it, from the Thunder question, it was full marks.

About two minutes later, the lobby manager of the eatery came. He was a man in his 30s in a suit.

“I’m sorry, Sir. We’ll change your dish immediately. ” The lobby manager said.

“No need. If you don ‘t, pack these dishes for me,” Lei di said subconsciously. The few dishes he mentioned were dishes other than the grilled eggplant.

After saying that, he also realized it himself. This was the aftereffect of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. He had to finish all the food, yet he was still looking at the grilled eggplant.

He was probably struggling with the problem of this dish.

“I’m really sorry. ” The lobby manager apologized again and immediately asked the waiter to come over and pack the food.

Generally speaking, when this happened to a dish, it would definitely be withdrawn and replaced with a new dish. This dish would not be charged.

The next step was that all the dishes would be discounted, and the most thorough one was often seen in movies. This table was free. Of course, this situation was not uncommon.

The lobby manager gave the waiter a 40% discount on all the dishes he chose.

“I’ve also asked our head chef about the vegetable worms, and he said that it’s not because our ingredients are not clean, but because the vegetables we choose are not coated with pesticides, so this is an inevitable small situation.”

The lobby manager was worried that the customers would leave a bad impression on the restaurant, so he explained it to them after everything was done.

Lei di, who didn’t want to say anything at first, couldn’t help but ask,””Did your head chef say that?”

The lobby manager nodded. He had conveyed his words almost exactly as he had said.

“Can you invite the head chef to come over?” Lei ti said.

“This …”

Before the lobby manager could finish his words, he was interrupted by Lei ti. He knew that it was a bit excessive for a customer to ask to see the head chef, so he directly revealed his identity.

“I’m Lei ti, a food critic invited by your restaurant,”he said.”I’d like to meet the head chef of your restaurant.”

The food critics were certified and issued by the chef’s Association. If there was no mistake, they were from Zhou Shijie’s regular organization. Lei ti had also shown his certificate.

The lobby manager naturally knew about the invitation of the food critics. The boss had told them to be careful yesterday and said that it would be about two or three days later. He did not expect them to come today.

“Please wait a moment, Mr. Ray. I’ll go get the head chef right away.” The lobby manager went over without any hesitation.

Three minutes later, the head chef of the eatery, Jiang Yang, came in. He was dressed in a neat chef’s uniform and his hat was also neatly worn. He looked quite good.

Of course, a chef’s appearance was not about his appearance, but his cleanliness. If a head chef looked sloppy, would you want to eat his food?

Regarding this, Yuan Zhou had always been doing the same thing. No matter if it was personal hygiene or the environment in the restaurant, he couldn’t find any fault with it.

“Good day, Mr. Ley.” Jiang Yang was the first to greet him.

Lei di nodded in greeting.

After the two of them greeted each other, Lei directly entered the main topic.

“Head chef Jiang: about the grilled eggplant, you said it was inevitable?” he asked:

“To be precise, it’s not unavoidable. Green vegetables that have not been pesticide – injected will definitely have vegetable bugs. Even if we have a professional chef who selects vegetables, there are still times when we are not strong enough.” Jiang Yang nodded and explained seriously.

Jiang Yang was in his forties, after all, and he had a calm personality. He put it in a more appropriate way.

“Not to mention eggplants. Before peeling them, we can’t use a x – ray lens to see if there are any bugs inside. Plus, with the daily sales, there are bound to be mistakes. We can only do our best to reduce this situation.” Jiang Yang continued.

In fact, strictly speaking, if one was careful when cutting the eggplant, it could be completely discovered.

However, Jiang Yang’s words made sense. As a signature dish, there were hundreds of servings sold every day. If every serving was carefully selected, it would take a lot of people to serve.

Therefore, it was inevitable. In a sense, these words were right.

However, there was Yuan Biao in front of him!

“You’re right, head chef Jiang,” “But I know there’s such a shop that can avoid this situation,” Lei ti suddenly changed the topic.

“Mr. Ray, please tell me the name of the shop.” Jiang Yang didn’t believe him.

In any store that had been open for more than five years, as long as they used green vegetables as the raw material, which one of them had never had a vegetable bug before?

“Head chef Jiang, you should have heard of the name of this restaurant. It’s called master chef Restaurant.” Lei ti said.

“The Pearl of Sichuan cuisine, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant?” Jiang Yang had indeed heard of this restaurant before. It was known as the best restaurant in Sichuan cuisine.

Of course, Jiang Yang didn’t have a deep understanding of it. He was in charge of creative cuisines, so he didn’t pay much attention to Sichuan cuisine.

“Yes, this is the shop.” Lei ti said,”this restaurant’s business is very good every day. The ingredients must be green vegetables. But as far as I know, this has never happened in the restaurant before.”

Lei di said this naturally and certainly, and it was a matter of course.
