Chapter 78 Dinner
While talking, the waiter who had left pushed the door back in and placed two cups of Martini on the tray in the messenger's hand.
"This is a white wine made by my own winery in California, and it tastes very good." Claudia introduced the glass of light yellow in front of him, which looked like champagne, but had a thick layer of white foam on it. "This is made of fresh grapefruit juice and white wine. This layer of foam is apple foam to adjust the taste."
When Jester heard this, he picked up his goblet and took a sip. He immediately felt a sweet and sour fragrance filled his mouth, giving him a feeling of endless aftertaste.
"Very good." Jester put down his goblet and exclaimed sincerely.
"What to eat?" Claudia smiled faintly and said nothing, then asked, picking up the menu from the side and handing it to Jester.
The cover of the menu is made of calfskin, and it is deliberately made to make it old. When people take a look, they will feel a simple and elegant feeling. Jester reached out to take the menu and felt a warm feeling when he got it. There is an English logo of the restaurant in the lower right corner of the menu. The logo was obviously designed by someone, which has a classical feeling.
But Jester did not look through it, but put the menu directly on the table. He smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with French food, so you should do it." He only knew that French food should be divided into appetizers, regular meals, etc., but he was not familiar with it.
Claudia nodded and agreed happily.
Then she spoke a series of languages that Jester couldn't understand to the waiter. Although she couldn't understand, Jester could still judge that Claudia spoke French.
After Claudia finished speaking, the waiter bowed slightly again and left.
"I have two brothers." Claudia picked up the cup in front of her and took a sip, her tone became a little sarcastic, "Well, they can't do anything except play women every day. They can go to college and study at home. When I was twenty years old, I graduated from Oxford with a full-time grade, they had just been admitted to school. I am much better than them. I never hide this, but the Robert family in the future will be destined to belong to me at the moment of my birth."
Jester just listened quietly. Although he didn't know why the other party was talking to him, he believed that the woman in front of him would definitely not be aimless.
"Since I was born, I knew I would work harder than everyone else, because I was an illegitimate daughter, and I didn't even know who my mother was. I have never seen my mother since I can remember. I am not favored by my father, no matter how good I performed." Claudia's sarcastic tone became stronger and stronger, and a layer of resentment was faintly covered on her beautiful face, which looked a little ferocious, but it was only a moment before it returned to normal.
She continued to say lightly: "No matter how bad my two brothers do, they are ten thousand times better than me in my father's eyes."
At this time, the waiter who had left before returned. This time he was not alone, but two people. They were holding two meal holders in their hands, with two dishes on them.
"These two dishes are pre-dinner sketches, which are appetizers before the official serving. They mainly let diners know the chef's attitude towards the food and make the taste buds of customers who have been impatient. Therefore, these dishes usually use some ingredients with a stimulating taste, either sour or sweet, or both sour and sour."
After the waiter put the dishes in his hands on the dining table, he originally wanted to introduce how to eat, which was also a rule in a Michelin-starred restaurant, but Claudia just waved her hand and asked them to go out. She could introduce them to Jester in person.
Jester listened to Claudia's explanation, nodded, and then looked at the first dish beside him. To be precise, this can only be considered a bite.
In front of him was a pure white porcelain spoon, with a red one in the spoon, round and like jelly, and beside it, there were two cut-like butter.
Claudia explained while demonstrating Jester how to eat.
"This is an Amuse-bouche dish, with grapes, pistachio and goat cheese. The thing you see is a jelly-like thing, which is actually covered with a very thin transparent gelatinous skin on the outside of the grape liquid. It breaks when you touch it. The sprinkled pistachio is sprinkled on it. The red filling inside the goat cheese cut in half is grape juice, and the outside is also pistachio powder. You eat grape jelly first, and then eat this, just suck it."
While listening, Jester learned how Claudia was, but no matter how he learned, he could not learn the other person's elegance.
However, after Jester sucked, the grape jelly actually created a slurry feeling in his mouth. A rich and sweet smell instantly rushed into his mouth, stimulating his taste buds, making him feel like he wanted to eat it again. However, this kind of small dot before the meal was just used to wake up the taste buds, and there were obviously no more.
His wish can only be temporarily failed.
However, the goat cheese also surprised Jester. After he took the first bite, he felt the unique sweet and sour aroma of goat cheese. Then the sweet feeling of grape juice gushing out from the outer wall of the broken cheese instantly filled the entire mouth. Finally, after swallowing the whole dish, he felt the unique saltiness of the pistachio crushed powder.
Aftertaste is endless, Jester can only summarize this.
Then Claudia began to introduce the second Amuse-bouche, a fried salmon fish skin, which was served with a special dipping sauce made by the restaurant. According to Claudia, the ingredients of this dipping sauce are scallions, garlic and smoked salmon mousse, but the method is special, so she did not say it clearly.
After eating this dish, Claudia talked about her experience again while waiting for the starter.
"My father is a stubborn old aristocrat. He is a staunch anti-Lady Thatcher. He always talks about what women can be prime minister. Can all the eggs of men in the British Empire be eaten by dogs?" When talking about Lady Thatcher's name, a rare look appeared on Claudia's face, which was a look of reverence.
"Mrs. Thatcher is my idol, and I am also her staunch supporter, but this has completely annoyed my father." At this time, Claudia's tone became a little excited. Her eyes flipped, and she looked at Jester and said seriously, "Then, I had been fed up with the butts of my two brothers every day, so I proposed to split up."
This surprised Jester. He admired the other party a little because Claudia was likely to leave the house directly because she did this.
"I originally thought my father would let me get out of here, give me a few months of living expenses at most and come back to ask for his forgiveness when I couldn't stand it. But what I didn't expect was that after thinking about it, my father agreed to my request and gave me four million pounds, shares in a luxury 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 this name, the future property of this family has nothing to do with me."
Claudia sneered and said her ending.
Seeing Jester still seemed to be incomprehensible to what she said before, she continued, "Do you think he gave me a lot of these? This is just to deprive me of the right of inheritance. Although the Roberto Belle family is not very famous, the foundation accumulated in the UK for hundreds of years is still very large. For example, nine percent of the shares of the Rolls-Royce Company are in the hands of my father, and this is not a property under the title of Count Robert. If my father dies, according to British laws, I will also have the right of inheritance."
Jace signaled him a little bit to see that he understood. He knew how huge the Rolls-Royce is. It is one of the best aero engine companies in the world. The Mustang fighter, known as the king of fighter jets, uses the engine made by Rolls-Royce. They are as famous as GE and Pratt-White. Of course, there are also the famous Rolls-Royce sedans, namely Rolls-Royce, and Bentley, which are also the brand of this company.
"But I'm not willing." Claudia said word by word, she gritted her teeth, and Jester could clearly read the message from her eyes.
And Jester also understood the reason why the other party was looking for him.
She was trying to return to the UK to prove that she was much better than her father thought, and the industry she was interested in was the electronic game industry she was engaged in.
But Jester is a little strange. In so many industries, such as the popular personal computers, why does she just look at the electronic game industry?
It was because of his rebirth that I knew what a huge industry would be like in the future for the video games that were still in a downturn, 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 waiter who had left before returned, this time there were four waiters, each carrying a completely different dish.
Jester was also a little impatient when he saw these extremely exquisite dishes, which made him thrust his index finger. He couldn't help but lick his lips, so he temporarily suppressed the thoughts in his mind. It was the first priority to try the food that was known as the best French restaurant in Los Angeles.
"This is the starter before the main meal. This dish is the famous dish here, St. Barbara's big prawn." Claudia's expression returned to normal. She pointed to the two bright red prawns in front of Jester whose head had been pinched off, and then demonstrated her way to eat with an elegant expression.
According to Claudia's elegant demonstration just now, Jester cut a prawn with a knife, then forked it with a fork and dipped it slightly on the sauce on the plate, filling it in his mouth. He chewed it slowly, and then swallowed it. Then he couldn't wait to fork the other prawns into his mouth, and his face couldn't help but show a look of enjoyment.
"The meat is fresh, sweet and rich, and it is full of elastic teeth. It seems that lemon juice is used as seasoning?" After filling the dish in his stomach, Jester was still a little unsatisfied.
Claudia nodded to admit Jester's guess, but she did not explain in detail. Then, she pointed to the second dish: "This calves tenderloin made by the vacuum cryogenic method is also the signature dish here, and it is very delicious."
Then, she also demonstrated the specific way to eat it.
