146. Chapter 146 Pasta with black truffle(2/2)
The waiters here are all young and beautiful college students. After handing over the menu, they wait patiently for their orders.
Both Jiang Ancheng and Li Shengli were not used to ordering food in such an elegant atmosphere, as if someone was monitoring them.
Shao Xuebao said: "What do you want to eat? Steak? Foie gras? Caviar bread?"
These things, including steak, sounded familiar, so Li Shengli ordered a steak without hesitation.
Shao Xuebao is not so restrained, "A portion of steak is definitely not enough. The portions in Western restaurants are very large, and the steak is only a small piece. Let's have another portion of pasta and black pepper lamb chops!"
Li Shengli nodded: "I'll listen to you."
Shao Xuebao flipped through the menu again: "Salmon is also good, let's get two pizzas too."
He muttered, and the waiter silently wrote down the recipe.
Jiang Ancheng discovered the black truffle pasta after looking through the entire menu.
Jiang Ancheng immediately said to the waiter: "I want this!"
The waiter took down the menu and Li Shengli glanced at it, "Black truffle pasta, what is black truffle?"
Shao Xuebao doesn't like to eat Western food, but he only changes his taste occasionally.
Li Shengli asked what black truffle was, and he also looked at the menu curiously.
But there were no pictures on the menu, and he didn't know if he had tried it before.
Shao Xuebao guessed: "Probably a kind of seasoning?"
Li Shengli took another look at the price: "It's really expensive. It's the most expensive thing here."
Shao Xuebao was surprised when he took a look at the price. He was looking forward to seeing the true face of the black truffle in Lushan.
After a while, the steak came first.
The red wine steak smells like red wine and is quite fragrant, but it comes with a knife and fork that neither Jiang Ancheng nor Li Shengli are used to.
Under Shao Xuebao's guidance, they finally mastered the technique and had their first bite of tender beef.
Because it is medium rare, the meat is still a little red in the middle, which is completely acceptable for people who often eat cold salad.
However, overall, the price is still expensive.
However, it was quite satisfying to eat something strange for the first time.
Li Shengli asked: "Why don't Westerners use chopsticks? How convenient chopsticks are!"
Shao Xuebao said: "Who knows, maybe they can't use chopsticks because their hands are not good."
Jiang Ancheng said with a smile: "If I had chopsticks, this piece of steak would have been finished in two or three minutes. What more fun and elegance would be needed?"
Shao Xuebao's eyes lit up, "That's exactly what you said!"
After a while, the pasta arrived.
Shao Xuebao ordered tomato meat sauce pasta before, Li Shengli ordered squid ink pasta, and Jiang Ancheng ordered black truffle pasta.
The presentation of the three kinds of pasta is completely different. The shape is very unique and there are many embellishments on it. It looks very high-end. However, the portion is not as much as the 2 or 2 meters of noodles at their roadside stall.
Li Shengli was shocked: "That's it?"
Even if meat is expensive, how can noodles be so expensive?
Shao Xuebao nodded: "That's quite a lot!"
Shao Xuebao looked at the black truffle pasta in Jiang Ancheng's bowl again, "Isn't the black truffle just the little black dots in the noodles? It's indeed a seasoning!"
Li Shengli had no idea that black truffles were pig fungi, and he laughed and said, "I don't know how much this bite costs!"
Everyone was eating the pasta separately. To be honest, the texture of the pasta was soft and not chewy at all. It just tasted like seasoning.
They prefer to eat salty and spicy food, but the pasta is sweet and salty, and the seasoning has a sense of subsistence, which is weird.
When Jiang Ancheng ate his own portion of black truffle pasta, he probably tasted a little bit of the aroma of the pig fungus. There was almost no taste, after all, it was all ground into powder.
It is ridiculous to say that it is so expensive in Western restaurants, but now it is used to feed pigs in their mountainous areas.
Everyone tasted each other's pasta, and no one liked it very much, but it was okay and not too unpalatable.
The caviar bread has a very strange taste, but the price is expensive, very expensive!
Li Shengli felt that he would probably never spend so much money just to eat something like this again in his life.
They were almost done eating, and the restaurant had complimentary desserts.
The dessert was surprisingly delicious, and Jiang Ancheng even had the urge to pack it up and take it back for Sun Miaolan and Xiao Yuer to eat.
However, the waiter said that taking away this kind of snack would affect the taste and it was not recommended to pack it, so he gave up.
I'll bring them with me if I have the chance in the future.
After finishing the meal, Jiang Ancheng went to pay the bill and specifically asked about black truffles.
"Do you know what the black truffles you have here are?"
The manager smiled and said: "Black truffle is a precious fungus in Europe. It is very rare and has a charming aroma. It is a very expensive high-end ingredient."
Jiang Ancheng said: "Your black truffles are all imported from abroad?"
The manager nodded: "Of course, this kind of fungus has not been found in China yet!"
Jiang Ancheng smiled and said: "Then do you all use fresh black truffles? Why are they all powdered?"
The manager paused for a moment. If it weren't for the smile on his face, he almost thought Jiang Ancheng was here to cause trouble.
"We import canned black truffle sauce from abroad, but it is also a very rare treasure and high-end delicacy."
