Free Web NovelChapter 611: Chapter 611: The Eight Major Cuisines
This isn’t a single cuisine; rather, it includes the eight major cuisines.
Each cuisine’s famous dishes are basically listed here.
But they still make up only a small part of it.
After going through the entire menu, Jiang Ran discovered that including soups and snacks, there are a total of twenty-four dishes.
Each cuisine features three dishes.
That’s actually quite interesting.
Could it be that the chefs here only learned these twenty-four dishes?
Feeling curious, Jiang Ran straightforwardly asked the waiter standing beside him.
Maybe because Jiang Ran wasn’t the first to ask this, the waiter maintained his smile and answered softly.
"We don’t just have this one menu. Whatever ingredients the kitchen prepares each day, that’s the menu we offer to guests."
Hearing this, Jiang Ran understood.
They actually have many menus, and there are many dishes they can make.
However, what the guest wants to eat isn’t entirely up to them; it’s decided by the chef.
Whatever ingredients are prepared is what determines the menu.
Guests can only choose from this particular menu.
Jiang Ran thought for a moment and then asked, "What if someone wants a dish you haven’t prepared today, what then?"
"Then we’d have to invite them to come again another time. To avoid a wasted trip, guests usually call in the morning to inquire about the day’s menu before deciding whether to come or not."
Wow, a mutual choice!
But quickly, Jiang Ran figured it out.
This is also a marketing strategy.
The fact that guests call every day to inquire about the menu shows they are quite satisfied with the food here.
If they weren’t satisfied, they could easily eat elsewhere, without the need to call.
If a restaurant wants to stay in business for the long haul, new customers are important, but so are old patrons.
If you can’t retain old customers, having lots of new ones won’t help.
Jiang Ran hadn’t forgotten that they were there to eat.
Handing the menu to the waiter, "Your dishes aren’t big in portion, right?"
"Correct."
"Then we’ll take one of everything on here!"
"Alright, just a moment please."
With that, the waiter turned and left.
Watching her leave so calmly, Jiang Ran nodded in approval, "She’s clearly accustomed to handling big orders."
There must be quite a few people like her placing entire-menu orders.
Otherwise, the waiter wouldn’t have remained so calm on hearing this.
Pei Huai had been quietly watching Jiang Ran, and it wasn’t until Jiang Ran finished speaking that Pei Huai slowly began to speak.
"No worries. We’re used to handling big orders too."
If they weren’t used to it, how could they calmly order the entire menu?
Anyone else, even with a big appetite, might feel a bit awkward.
But for the two of them, there wasn’t the slightest bit of embarrassment.
Jiang Ran nodded in agreement.
Indeed, what scenes hasn’t she experienced?
Someone who has eaten a Manchu Han Imperial Feast wouldn’t be concerned about this small-scale situation, right?
The waiter asked them to wait, and indeed, it wasn’t long.
Soon, the waiter started bringing the dishes.
As each dish was brought out, Jiang Ran and Pei Huai began eating.
Before taking a bite, Jiang Ran would always first appreciate it.
Check out the colors, smell the aromas, and ponder how it was made.
Once the food reached her mouth, she understood how the dish was prepared.
