Chapter 174 Ideal and Reality

Pushing the door into the restaurant, I saw that it was almost full of customers. Now it’s almost [-] o’clock, and there are still so many customers, and most of them are white-skinned foreigners. The decoration inside the restaurant is very high-end. , each seat is separated by a crystal bead curtain, there are some Chinese paper-cuts and some Chinese knots hanging on the wall, other than these, there is no Chinese flavor, the lighting is relatively dim, and there is a lamp on the top of each table, The whole restaurant is very atmospheric, but the overall decoration is more modern.Ju An had to doubt Hou Sen's taste. With so many foreigners sitting here, it's really hard to say how much Chinese taste this restaurant can retain.

Seeing that some guests came in, the Chinese waitress standing by a small table at the door smiled and bowed: "Ask a few."

Ju An smiled and stretched out three fingers and said in Chinese, "Just the three of us, is there a private room, if so, give me a private room."Since Ju An wanted to chat with Hou Sen, he wanted to find a quiet place where a few people could talk.

The little girl shook her head and explained in Chinese: "I'm sorry! Our private rooms are full, and the hall is actually not too noisy."

Ju An had no choice but to nod, so the little girl brought the three of them to a square table in the corner of the restaurant and sat down. When the three of them were done, the little girl brought a pot of tea and handed it to Ju An. The three people each had one menu. After Ju An took it, he glanced at it and drank it. The food here is not cheap, the price is not much different from the restaurant where Ju An eats in New York. He smiled and said to the little girl, "The food here is not cheap. The price is on par with restaurants in New York."

The waitress smiled and explained: "Ours is different from other Chinese restaurants. We are high-end, unlike other Chinese restaurants that lower prices, and our chefs are all famous chefs from China. Veteran chefs who have been cooking for more than 15 years are not those small shops. We can eat Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, and almost all Shandong cuisines here. Don’t worry, the taste is absolutely similar to domestic ones. We are in Bozeman Well-known, high-end restaurants."

Upon hearing this, Ju An asked with a smile, "I know that foreigners don't really like real Chinese flavors, so it's rare that you have so many guests here!".

The little girl explained with a smile: "Our boss didn't think about resisting when he first started. He said that Japanese restaurants are all high-end, so why we can only serve middle and low-end Chinese food, it is because everyone competes viciously. Thinking of using cheap prices to attract customers, but he didn't want to do that, he just wanted to do high-end Chinese food, now we have five stores in California and New York, Bozeman is the sixth store, here you can specify The chef cooks your dishes, look at the number of our chef over there, many foreigners will designate the chef."After saying that, I pointed my finger, and I saw a frame on the wall with a few photos in it. Below it was written the chef of the day, and what other chefs, anyway, they all have a series of names.

Hearing what the little girl said, Ju An became interested. The boss was also a wise man. There were several cooks on the cooking table in the kitchen next to him who were cutting vegetables. No sound could be heard through the glass. When Ann just passed by, I could see a few chefs' knives. They cut the carrots finely and well. They looked very enjoyable. No wonder they can sell at high prices. The boss has a lot of ideas. Let's show it like this. Let me tell you, why is the price of vegetables so high here? Have you seen it? You can cut the vegetables so finely and almost every one is the same. How much does it cost to cultivate such a person?

Ju An asked the little girl with a smile: "Then what are the signature dishes you have here, please introduce."

"The most famous thing here is shredded tofu and egg custard. Almost every guest who comes here will order one, as well as shredded pork in Beijing sauce and crystal steamed dumplings," the little girl said with a smile.

Ju An looked at Hou Sen: "What do you want to eat, you're welcome!".

Hou Sen said: "I can do whatever I want, I'd better have one, fried duck with sauce, braised pork or something."

After hearing this, Ju An put the menu together: "Duck with sauce and braised pork, do you have one? If you have one, I'll have a piece of boiled pork slices, shredded pork in Beijing sauce, and a portion of the tofu soup you mentioned. Dai What do you want to eat, Na?"

Dinah smiled and said, "Spicy tofu".

"It's a good thing to add a portion of spicy tofu," Ju An said to the waiter girl, and it was spicy tofu again. Anyway, my wife-to-be always looks for spicy tofu every time she eats Chinese food, and she likes it very much.

After ordering the food, the waitress turned around to inform the kitchen, Ju An said with a smile, "The owner of this restaurant is a wise man, look at how prosperous this business is. The Chinese restaurant with the most customers, the customers with good business in California are all Chinese, and here are all foreigners.”

Hou Sen took a sip of tea and said: "In fact, foreigners are similar to us in this respect. They think that expensive ones must be good, and cheap ones are shameful to invite girlfriends to dinner. I have eaten here once, and the taste is very authentic. You There are basically couples of lovers all around. On Fridays or holiday nights, you have to book a table in advance. This business is getting better and better. I only know this authentic Chinese restaurant, and the rest are American. Chinese food includes takeout, and I usually cook for myself when I have time.”

Ju An looked around, as expected, as Hou Sen said, many of them were pairs of young foreigners, and even a pair of foreigners stood by the glass window and watched the chef cut vegetables: "I listened to Bula De introduced that your horse training skills are very good, why do you go to the supermarket to do odd jobs."

"I came here to learn and train horse racing when I was nineteen years old. I thought that one day I could return to China to train my own champion horse. I also went back to China for a period of time in the past two years. After staying for a year, I don't want to stay anymore. A race is run for tens of kilometers and tens of kilometers. This is not a horse race, it is killing a horse, and the previous boss has two money to get a horse with several million yuan. After running a few times without ranking, he will Complaining about horse trainers, they don’t understand horses at all. Anyone who knows horses knows that thoroughbred horses are good at short-distance sprints, and long-distance horses are not as good as Mongolian horses. Some people buy a horse worth several million and hire a horse trainer. Horse racing is to show off that you are rich. That horse is usually kept for fun, and I never thought of sending it to the track. My two bosses are like this. I just want to train horses and train first-class champion horses, so I I came back to continue my studies. As for why no one hired me to train horses, on the one hand, I didn’t have any grades, and on the other hand, it’s my face.”

Hou Sen pointed to his face: "Those foreign horse owners think that the Chinese are not good at training horses and don't believe in my skills. When I get results, I must go back to China to develop domestic horse racing. The champion horses cultivated in China will participate in the world competition, or they will pass on what I have learned to domestic horse trainers. Now no one is looking for me to train horses, and it is impossible for the training center to raise an idle person. I am now a training center. Volunteers, I don’t have money to get that kind of thing, I have to work in the supermarket for a living, but fortunately, the boss is Chinese and takes good care of me.”

Ju An was a little moved by this young man who was about his age. Although he was not as rich as himself, he had more ideals than himself, and he was willing to work hard. Unlike himself, he found a place to hide in a comfortable place, but you let him go. Ju An himself is looking for an ideal, and then immerses himself in hard work, then forget it, the character is in this place, and he has a good life, why should he change? This is the same as the saying goes. Raise hundreds of people.

"The horse on the information you just saw has changed a lot compared to now. It's not that I have a lot of money to find a pony for you to train. Now the shoulder height of the naughty bag is more than 1.7 meters. The height is still growing, and the muscles are getting stronger. You will know it when you see him. It is useless to tell you now. I just want to find someone who can train him with his heart. Now it seems that my choice is correct. "Ju An looked at Hou Sen and said seriously.

Hou Sen nodded and said, "Even if it's not like what you said, since I accepted your invitation and you agreed to let me train your horse, it's my responsibility to train him well, no matter what he is like. I will try my best to train him well, don't worry about that, horse training is a big part of my life."

As the two of them were talking, the waiter had already started serving the dishes, and after a while the kung fu dishes had been served. Ju An greeted Hou Sen and started together. After tasting a few chopsticks, Ju An has to say that the chefs here are really good. The standard, several dishes are quite authentic, and the knife work is very good, the tofu egg custard, the soft tofu in it should be cut into shreds with a knife, the tofu in this bowl is basically like silver threads, one by one.The juicy meat slices are moderately spicy, and the neat little cubes of spicy tofu all show the extraordinary skill of the chef.

Dinah said, "This is the best spicy tofu I have ever eaten, and I will definitely try it again next time."

He took a piece of boiled meat and put it into Dina's bowl, let her taste it, then picked up the small round pancake on the table, put the shredded pork and shredded green onion in it and rolled it up, He handed it to Dinah and let her taste it. After taking a bite, Dinah nodded happily and said to Ju An, "Remind me next time that when I eat Chinese food, besides spicy tofu, you must order this name? ".

Ju An rolled one for himself, took a bite and replied, "Beijing sauce shredded pork".

"Yes! Shredded pork in Jingjiang sauce is much better than the piece of pork you just let me eat." Dinah praised while eating with big mouthfuls.

The last three people had to serve two more Bo cakes, and after adding a portion of shredded pork, the rice for the three people basically did not move, but they swept the dishes on the table.
