Chapter 78 Dinner

While he was talking, the waiter who had left before pushed the door back in. On the tray in the messenger's hand were two martinis.

"This is blended with the white wine I brewed at the winery in California. It tastes very good." Claudia introduced the light yellow glass in front of Jester, which looked a bit like champagne, but had a thick layer of liquid on it. A layer of white foam martini, "This is made with fresh grapefruit juice and white wine. This layer of foam is apple foam to adjust the taste."

Hearing this, Jester picked up the goblet and took a sip. He immediately felt a sweet and sour aroma filling his mouth, giving him an endless aftertaste.

"Very good." Jester put down the goblet and praised sincerely.

"What to eat?" Claudia smiled lightly and said nothing. Then she asked, picking up the menu from one side and handing it to Jester.

The cover of the menu is made of calfskin and has been deliberately distressed to give people a simple and elegant feeling at first glance. Jester reached out to take the menu and felt a warm feeling when he took it. The menu has the English name of the restaurant in the lower right corner. It was obviously designed by someone specially and gives it a classic feel.

But Jester did not look through it, but directly put the menu on the table. He smiled and said: "I'm not familiar with French food, so you should do it." He only knew that eating French food should be divided into appetizers and main meals. , but he was not familiar with it.

Claudia nodded and agreed readily.

Then she spoke a series of words to the waiter in a language that Jester didn't understand. Although he couldn't understand it, Jester could still tell that Claudia was speaking French.

After Claudia finished speaking, the waiter bowed slightly again and left.

"I have two older brothers." Claudia picked up the martini in front of her and took a sip. Her tone became a little sarcastic, "Well, they can't do anything except play with women every day. They can go to college. Studying depends on family connections. When I graduated from Oxford with straight A's when I was twenty, they had just entered school. I was much better than them. I never hide this, but the future Robert family, The moment I was born, I was destined to never be mine."

Jester just listened quietly. Although he didn't know why the other party said this to him, he believed that the woman in front of him was definitely not innocent.

"Ever since I was born I knew I had to work harder than everyone else because I was an illegitimate daughter, I didn't even know who my mother was, I hadn't seen my mother since I could remember, I wasn't subject to My father treats me no matter how well I perform." Claudia's sarcastic tone became more and more intense, and her beautiful face was vaguely covered with a layer of resentment, which looked a bit ferocious, but it was just a look. After a moment, it returned to normal.

She continued calmly: "No matter how bad my two brothers are, they are ten thousand times better than me in my father's eyes."

At this time, the waiter who had left earlier returned again. This time he was not alone, but two people. Each of them held two dinner trays with two dishes on them.

"These two dishes are pre-dinner snacks, which can be regarded as appetizers before the official serving. They mainly let diners know the restaurant's chef's attitude towards food, and allow customers who have already been impatient to wake up their taste buds. Therefore, generally such dishes The dishes all use ingredients with pungent flavors, either sour or sweet, or a combination of sour and sweet.”

After the waiter put the dishes on the table, he originally wanted to explain how to eat them. This is also the rule of Michelin-starred restaurants, but Claudia just waved her hand and let them go out. She could Introduce Jester personally.

Jester listened to Claudia's explanation, nodded, and then looked at the first dish next to him. To be precise, this could only be regarded as a bite.

In front of him was a pure white porcelain spoon. In the spoon was a red, round thing that looked like jelly, and beside it, there were two cut pieces of something similar to butter.

Claudia explained while showing Jester how to eat it.

"This is an amuse-bouche. The main ingredients are grapes, pistachios and goat cheese. The jelly-like thing you see is actually a thin transparent gelatinous skin covering the grape juice. , it breaks when touched. The top is sprinkled with chopped pistachios. The red filling inside this goat cheese cut in half is grape juice, and the outside is also chopped with pistachios. You eat the grape jelly first. , and then eat this, just suck it."

Jester listened and imitated Claudia's behavior, but no matter how he tried, he could not learn the elegance of the other party.

However, as soon as Jester inhaled, the grape jelly actually produced a bursting feeling in his mouth, and a rich sweet and sour taste instantly rushed into his mouth, stimulating his taste buds. He couldn't help but feel like eating it again, but this kind of pre-meal snack was just to wake up his taste buds, and there was obviously no more.

His wish could only be temporarily frustrated.

The goat cheese also surprised Jester. After taking his first bite, the first thing he felt was the unique sweet and sour aroma of goat cheese, and then it spewed out from the outer wall of the broken cheese. The sweet feeling of grape juice instantly filled the entire mouth. Finally, after swallowing the whole dish, I felt the unique salty taste of chopped pistachios.

Aftertaste is endless, Jester can only sum it up like this.

Then Claudia started to introduce the second amuse-bouche, which is a fried salmon skin and is eaten with a special dipping sauce secretly made by this restaurant. According to Claudia, this is The raw materials of this dipping sauce are onions, garlic and smoked salmon mousse, but the method is special and she did not say clearly.

After finishing this dish, while waiting for the appetizer, Claudia talked about her experience again.

"My father is a stubborn old aristocrat. He is a staunch anti-Thatcher. What he always talks about is, can a woman be prime minister? The eggs of all men in the British Empire have been Did the dog eat it?" When she mentioned Mrs. Thatcher's name, Claudia showed a rare look on her face, which was a look of reverence.

"Mrs. Thatcher is my idol, and I am also a staunch supporter of her, but this completely annoyed my father." At this time, Claudia's tone became a little excited, her eyes moved, looking at Jay Ste said seriously, "Then I had enough of wiping the butts of my two brothers every day, so I proposed to separate the family."

This surprised Jester, and he admired him a little, because if Claudia did this, it was very likely that she would leave the house directly.

"Originally, I thought my father would let me get out of here, give me living expenses for a few months at most, and then come back to ask for his forgiveness when I couldn't bear it anymore. But what I didn't expect was that after much thought, my father actually agreed to it. At my request, I was given four million pounds, shares in a luxury goods company, plus this restaurant and a winery in California. The price was to completely lose the inheritance rights of my father’s property after his death, although I could still use it. This name, but this family’s future property, has nothing to do with me.”

Claudia sneered as she told her end.

Seeing that Jester still didn't understand what she said before, she continued, "Do you think he gave me a lot of these? This is just to deprive me of my inheritance. Although the Robert family is not very famous, it is very popular in the UK. The foundation accumulated over hundreds of years is still very huge. For example, 9% of the shares of Rolls-Royce are in the hands of my father, and this is not property belonging to the title of Earl Robert. If my father dies, According to British law, I also have the right to inherit."

Jester nodded to indicate that he understood. He knew how huge Rolls-Royce was. It was one of the best aero-engine companies in the world. The Mustang fighter, known as the King of Fighters, was manufactured by Rolls-Royce. engines, they are as famous as GE, Pratt \u0026 Whitney, and of course, the famous Rolls-Royce sedan, also known as Rolls-Royce, and Bentley, which are also brands of this company.

"But I'm not willing to give in." Claudia said every word, she gritted her teeth, and Jester could clearly read the message in her eyes.

And Jester also understood the reason why the other party was looking for him.

She wanted to return to England to prove that she was much better than her father imagined, and the industry she was interested in was the video game industry in which she was engaged.

It's just that Jester is a little strange. There are so many industries, such as personal computers, which are booming now, why does she only focus on the video game industry?

Because she was reborn, she knew what kind of huge industry the currently sluggish video games would be in the future, but what about her? This made Jester a little confused. He didn't believe that the other party just liked the games he made.

At this time, the waiters who had left earlier returned again, this time four waiters, each carrying a completely different dish.

Jester couldn't wait to see these extremely exquisite dishes, which made him move his index fingers. He couldn't help but lick his lips, so he temporarily suppressed the previous thoughts in his mind and decided to try this restaurant first. Billed as the best French restaurant in Los Angeles, food is a priority.

"This is the appetizer before the main meal. This is the famous dish here, Santa Barbara prawns." Claudia's expression returned to normal, and she pointed to the one in front of Jester that had its head cut off. two bright red prawns, and then elegantly demonstrated how to eat them.

Following Claudia's elegant demonstration just now, Jester cut a piece of prawn with a knife, then picked it up with a fork, dipped it in the sauce on the plate, and stuffed it into his mouth. He chewed it slowly, Then swallow. Then he eagerly picked up another prawn and stuffed it into his mouth, with a look of enjoyment on his face.

"The meat is sweet and plump, and it's also very elastic. It seems that lemon juice is used as a seasoning?" After stuffing this dish into his belly, Jester was still a little bit unsatisfied.

Claudia nodded to acknowledge Jester's guess, but she did not elaborate. Then, she pointed to the second dish: "This veal tenderloin made with sous vide method is also the signature dish here. , very delicious.”

Then, she also demonstrated the specific way to eat it.
