Chapter 47 Cooking Exchange

Qi Min still underestimated his immunity.

Her physical fitness has always been good, but she couldn't bear the overload of work for a week and the last full day of high-intensity experiments. Of course, just from the cold wind blowing one night, she couldn't blame her immune system entirely for catching a cold.

In short, Anton came to see her with her down coat and a thermos of ginger cola.

Qi Min put on his down coat, took a sip of ginger coke, and suddenly asked: "Wait a minute, you come out, where is Mimi?"

"Didn't you send Mimi to the kindergarten in the neighboring community for a try last time? Didn't you forget?" Anton asked with some dissatisfaction.

Only then did Qi Min remember that she had discussed with the person in charge of the kindergarten in the neighboring community the day before yesterday, and wanted to send Mimi to their kindergarten to experience it. Mimi has not yet obtained her household registration and cannot go to the public kindergarten arranged by the University of Science and Technology of China for teachers’ families. Moreover, there are limited places to go to public kindergartens and you have to queue up. Qi Min thought it would be better to let Mimi try a private kindergarten run by this community first.

"You sent Mimi directly?" Qi Min asked.

"Yeah..." Anton couldn't help but sigh, "Mimi was quite happy when she first went, but then she started shouting when she saw that I was leaving."

Qi Min's daughter is a little different from ordinary children. Most children will cry when they see their parents leaving, but Mimi just shouted. Her shouting voice was much louder than a child's cry, and her lethality was almost twice that of an average child.

"Then the kindergarten people still dare to accept her?" Even though he knew it was a bit heartless, Qi Min couldn't help but laugh.

"A lot of kids are like this." Anton said helplessly, "Just get used to it."

Although Anton is more interested in Mimi than Qi Min, but as Qi Min's boyfriend, he is obviously not very experienced in raising children. Everyone is a first-time parent, so that’s pretty much it.

"Oh..." Qi Min leaned back on the sofa again and took another sip of ginger coke, "Then don't be in a hurry to go back. Why don't we... let's go eat?"

"Why don't you go home for dinner?" Anton looked at the time on his phone. "It's only ten o'clock now. It's a good time to go back and cook."

"Hey, you see it's hard for you to come back, but you haven't tasted the craftsmanship of a serious domestic restaurant." Qi Min narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Don't you think we should learn to communicate?"

When it comes to cooking skills, Anton is absolutely right: "Okay, let's try it. But I'm not sure who is better and who is worse."

"Let's go." Qi Min stood up from the sofa, but because he had been paralyzed for too long, he couldn't find his balance and swayed for a while.

Anton quickly supported her: "Can you do it? You don't need me to carry you?"

"I'm not that useless yet." Qi Min zipped up his down coat and put on his hat in a good mood, "Let's go, I will take you to eat and drink."

——

Qi Min thought very well. Let’s not talk about the specific process. If Anton is allowed to work as a chef in a serious hotel in the future, then he must at least understand what is popular in restaurants in Beijing.

Although Anton learned serious Chinese food in his previous Chinese restaurant, Qi Min found that maybe because the former Chinese restaurant owner was from the north, he taught Anton mostly the recipes of northern cuisine. As someone who only knows how to cook northern cuisine, there is nothing wrong with opening a home-cooked restaurant in Beijing. However, big hotels have fixed standards. Even if they are dishes that are not ordered by customers, the chef must be able to cook them.

What's more, Sichuan cuisine has become very popular in Beijing now. Even the copper pot shabu-shabu has been rivaled by the later Chongqing hot pot, not to mention that ordinary restaurants also have a few common Sichuan dishes. Qi Min feels that Anton still needs to understand this aspect.

Thanks to Zhang Zhiyong, Qi Min also knows the distribution of eating, drinking and entertainment places around the school. She took Anton directly to a popular restaurant in this area, which specializes in Sichuan and Hunan cuisine.

The restaurant just opened at around ten o'clock, and Qi Min and Anton were almost the first customers on the table. Naturally, there were waiters taking care of them.

Qi Min had just completed a key experiment, and he was quite conceited in the short term, because he had just received his salary and had some money in his hand. He very boldly put the menu in front of Anton: "Here, order whatever you want."

Anton flipped through the menu and seemed a little surprised to see that most of the dishes were spicy. For a while, he just curiously flipped through the menu from beginning to end. The waiter on the side saw that he didn't look like an orthodox Chinese, and considering the geographical environment here, there are many international students in the university, so he was a little hesitant to introduce the menu.

Qi Min saw that Anton was slow to order, and then he remembered that his ability to recognize Chinese characters was not very good, and he might not recognize some of them.

But Qi Min was afraid of losing face if Anton was revealed to be semi-literate in front of others. So I took the menu away from him and explained: "Well... I'm not a local, so I'm so hesitant to order any dish. I'd better do it."

Her words "not a local" were originally intended to express that northerners from other places who came to Beijing did not expect so many spicy dishes. However, the waiter misunderstood them as foreigners who came to China and were hesitant to see so many dishes. .

If you want to "entertain foreign friends", according to normal understanding, you can spend a little more than usual on meals. After all, Chinese people are very generous. Therefore, the waiter enthusiastically recommended several signature dishes of this restaurant. Basically, each dish is enough to make a main course for a normal meal. And Qi Min also wanted Anton to experience Sichuan cuisine, which is popular all over the country, so he basically ordered all the recommended dishes, and also ordered a bunch of other special dishes.

Finally the waiter asked her: "Do you have any taboos?"

"No." Qi Min said with a smile, "Just follow the standard method."

The waiter nodded, quoted the super long menu again, and then couldn't help but said: "Madam, you ordered a bit too much..."

"It doesn't matter." Qi Min smiled happily, "This is my first time treating guests here, so I have to pay attention to the pomp and circumstance."

She said so, and the waiter didn't say anything.

When the waiter left, Anton couldn't help but "cut" her: "You are really good at pretending."

"What's the matter? Am I wrong?" Qi Min added a piece of rock sugar to the wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea that he bought for himself. "I'm taking you out to eat, so I'm not afraid of spending money."

She also felt good about herself, but Anton really did this.

Anton smiled at Qi Min, his smile was like spring flowers blooming. If appearance had a price, it would definitely be worth this meal.

Then he said jokingly: "You ordered so many dishes, do you want to take them home to eat for a week?"

"Whether you want to take it back or not is up to you, I just want to give you a taste of each one." Qi Min said with a smile, not without a hint of joking, "After all, this is a famous restaurant here, and you will be the head chef in the future. You have to surpass them no matter what."
