Zhou Jia knew that Wuhai could eat a lot. After all, he didn't get the title of Black Beast for nothing. However, there were 20 to 30 dishes of squid. Even Zhou Jia doubted that Wuhai could finish all of them.
After all, Wuhai usually ate 10 dishes, but it was hard to say that he could eat three times more this time. Therefore, Zhou Jia said carefully, "There should be more than 30 dishes of squid in the restaurant, less than 40. Can Brother Wu finish all of them?"
"I'm afraid that I can't finish all of them, so I only ordered the main dish of squid." Wuhai stroked his mustaches, showing an expression of "I've considered it seriously."
"Well, okay. I'll place the order." Zhou Jia nodded.
"Okay. Go ahead," Wuhai said.
Although he didn't get to eat the Sizzling Squid, Wuhai was still captivated by so many squid. He waited contentedly at the side for the dishes to be served.
Gabriel and Alfreya sitting at the side didn't understand Chinese, so they naturally couldn't show any surprise.
Even Gabriel, who had been here for a long time, could only speak a little, and that was with the help of a private Chinese tutor. Of course, he had only attended two classes, so he knew more dishes than anything else.
At this moment, Gabriel had already taken the menu and started to order.
"Grilled Pork with Rice Flour, Braised Pork Platter, Hakka Tofu, Sweet and Sour Pork, Pork with Preserved Vegetable, and a bowl of noodles and a bowl of rice. That's all." Gabriel's accent was very strong, and the names of the dishes sounded very strange. But obviously, Zhou Jia was used to it.
"Honey Grilled Pork, Braised Pork Platter, Hakka Tofu. Sweet and Sour Pork, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetable, Egg Fried Rice Set, and Clear Broth Noodle Soup Set, right? "Zhou Jia read the names of all the dishes correctly.
Zhou Jia spoke slowly when she read the names of the dishes. She made sure that Gabriel could hear her clearly before asking.
"Yes, yes, yes. That's it." Gabriel hurriedly nodded. Apart from speaking Chinese, the rest of the words were all in French.
"Okay, it's the same. You're a foreigner, so we only accept US dollars. You can wait to eat after you check the price and pay," Zhou Jia said as she handed the calculator to Gabriel.
It wasn't cheap, but it was cheap for Gabriel, who cooked for more than that.
When Gabriel saw the price, he turned to Alfreya and said, "The prices here are quite cheap. This chef doesn't like money, though I feel like he shouldn't charge so little for his cooking."
"Oh, is that so?" Alfreya nodded casually in his shock.
Alfreya couldn't be blamed for being shocked. He had just seen Gabriel order the menu like crazy, and he felt that there were a lot of dishes on it.
He felt like he couldn't finish it, and he was curious when Gabriel's appetite had become so terrifying.
Holding the menu, Alfreya hesitated for a while before saying, "Gabriel, you just ordered a lot of dishes."
"Yes, you can order if you want," Gabriel immediately said warily.
Seeing that Gabriel was afraid that he would steal his food, Alfreya couldn't help but facepalm. He took a deep breath and said, "Of course, I'll order myself. I just want to ask if there aren't many dishes here?"
Gabriel thought seriously for a while, and then nodded firmly and said, "Yes, not many."
"Then I'll order a dish too." Alfreya nodded, and then began to guess the dishes according to the English on the menu.
As for why he didn't ask Gabriel about the specialty of this place, it was because he had already asked, and he said that he could order with his eyes closed.
After saying that, Alfreya waved at Zhou Jia, and then pointed at a dish called Imperial Soy Sauce Stir-Fried Noodles, indicating that he wanted it.
After all, the English word for stir-fried noodles was more suitable to express, which was why Alfreya chose it.
After Alfreya paid, Gabriel couldn't help but ask, "You only ordered one dish?"
"Of course." Alfreya nodded.
"I don't think I'll be full," Gabriel said sincerely.
"I'm not here to eat." Saying that, Alfreya turned to the place where Chu Xiao was waiting in line.
"Don't say I didn't warn you, the food here is really delicious," Gabriel said seriously.
"There are too many delicacies. I don't necessarily like all of them." Alfreya shrugged.
After the two chatted for a while, the dishes began to be served one after another.
The first to arrive was naturally Wuhai, who was the first to order. He carried the dishes himself, and ate them as soon as they were served. His movements were skillful and agile.
Very soon, it was Gabriel's turn. The first dish he served was a brine platter. The platter was placed on a square plate that was divided into four pieces. Each piece of meat was arranged neatly. It was the kind that would make an obsessive-compulsive person feel comfortable.
When the dishes were served, Gabriel subtly shielded himself with one hand, nodded at Alfreya, and then lowered his head to eat.
"Is it really that good?" Seeing Gabriel's actions, Alfreya couldn't help but be curious. However, it was obvious that Chu Xiao was more important to him, so the thought only flashed through his mind.
By the time Gabriel brought out the second dish, Alfreya's Black Bean Sauce Imperial Stir-Fried Noodles was finally served as well.
"Your soy sauce imperial stir-fried noodles. Please enjoy." Zhou Jia put down the plate and said.
"Thank you." Alfreya nodded, then took the plate and placed it in front of him gracefully.
"Your noodles look good." Gabriel took the time to look up and said.
"Indeed, it looks good." Alfreya nodded in agreement.
It wasn't just the appearance that was good. The stir-fried noodles were placed on a pure black rectangular plate, and the glossy brownish-red noodles were piled loosely into a small hill.
One could clearly see that the noodles were mixed with egg skin, onion shreds, white and tender mung bean sprouts, and some green onions. The red and green stir-fried noodles formed a sharp contrast with the pure black plate. It was very beautiful.
When he bit into it, he found that the noodles were actually white, but each strand was covered in soy sauce, so they looked brownish-red.
When he brought it to him, Alfreya clearly smelled a strange fragrance rushing into the tip of his nose. It wasn't strong, but it could easily stimulate one's appetite.
Even a person like him who didn't care about food couldn't help but salivate.
"It smells good too." Alfreya raised his eyebrows.
Because this pasta was a specialty of Guangdong, it came with a fork and spoon, so Alfreya naturally picked up a forkful of noodles and put it into his mouth.
