The restaurant jointly opened by brother and sister Jiang Xiao, Yan Hong and Bai Yingzhen is called "Eleven".

Yes, it is the number eleven. If you want to ask about the origin, there is actually a little story in it, uh... a nonsense little story.

When the three of them were discussing what names to choose, Yan Hong and Bai Meizi asked him for his opinion. Jiang Xiao did not hesitate to mention a lot of normal names, but the latter always found fault. This is not good, so what?

When the question was raised, he became speechless.

Then by chance, he happened to see a basket with carrots next to him, and he said with a bit of anger that he should count the number of carrots and use the numbers as the name of the restaurant.

Finally, he came up with the name "Eleven", which he thought was a bit casual, but Bai Yingzhen was very satisfied with it.

Therefore, sometimes Jiang Xiao really doesn't understand this woman's thinking.

Not to mention the little anecdote about the name, Eleven Restaurant is located on the 11th floor of a building near the China World Trade Center.

This is a coincidence rather than deliberate. After all, the location of the restaurant was found first, and the name was chosen later. When I named it, I didn't expect that the floor was the eleventh floor. It was just an afterthought.

Together.

In addition to these, Eleven Restaurant also rented the entire eleventh floor, which is a large area, but only half of it was used for business. The other half was converted into two residences, where Yan Hong and Bai Yingzhen lived respectively.

Of course, this half of the rent was not included in the cost of opening the store. It was borne by the two themselves. It can only be said that they are indeed rich brother and sister. No wonder they spent more than 40,000 yuan to buy a set of work uniforms.

As for the restaurant, the space is large, the decoration is high-end and classy, ​​the lighting is very good, but the location is not too large, and the restaurant environment is definitely first-class.

No, when Jiang Xiao and Zhang Ziling walked into Eleven Restaurant, the young lady immediately said in amazement: "Wow, is this your restaurant? It looks very high-end, which makes me feel excited.

I feel like I didn’t bring enough money to grow, so I don’t have the confidence to get in.”

"Don't worry, there is no minimum purchase, and today is my treat."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiao himself naturally smiled and answered.

Eleven's positioning is to take the high-end route and build the top restaurant. After all, the main purpose of chef Yan Hong in opening a restaurant is obviously not to make money, but a personal pursuit.

For him, as long as he doesn't keep losing money endlessly, it's okay if he doesn't make money. The purpose of asking him to invest is not just to make money. It is estimated that there are not many restaurants in the country with a business philosophy like Eleven.

.

And after the trial opening, the restaurant will only accept reservation customers, not drop-in customers.

Jiang Xiaodu has been prepared to suffer long-term losses for a period of time, but he feels that as long as his reputation is established, high-end customers who rely solely on reservations will not really continue to lose money.

"Okay, then I'm relieved!"

Zhang Ziling, who covered his mouth and chuckled, also answered with a smile.

"Assistant Bai, please greet Miss Zhang for me first, and I'll go find your brother to discuss the menu."

After arriving at a seat near the floor-to-ceiling glass window and arranging Sister Shi, Jiang Xiao gave Bai Yingzhen a task.

"Okay boss, don't worry, I will take care of Miss Zhang."

After hearing this, Bai Yingzhen responded to Jiang Xiao's words generously and obediently.

Although in private she complained about Zhang Ziling's matter, Guo Jiangxiao, at this time, she still showed the attitude that an assistant should have.

"Ms. Zhang, I'll excuse you for a moment."

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao naturally did not forget to say hello to Zhang Ziling again before leaving.

"It doesn't matter, you go ahead!"

Zhang Ziling, who smiled and nodded, naturally had no objection.

I was a little curious about the relationship between Jiang Xiao and the super-pretty Bai assistant in front of me. I heard that his brother is also the boss here?

For a moment, she didn't understand it at all.

Well, there is no need to clarify it. After all, truth theory has nothing to do with her.

If he hadn't happened to come into contact with Jiang Xiao while recording the song today, Zhang Ziling probably wouldn't have appeared here.

Here, Jiang Xiao, who didn't know what Sister Shi was thinking, naturally went to the kitchen quickly after saying hello and met Yan Hong, who was busy alone.

It was rare for the other party to be the first to say hello to him: "You're here!"

"Yes, let me confirm the menu with you."

"Do you want to cook the food yourself?"

"No, it's still up to you as the chef, but I can help."

"Oh, I was a little tight on the time I informed you before, so I had to bring some ingredients from my residence. There may not be too many choices, and I can't follow the process. The main course is pan-fried steak, followed by a vegetable salad and a

Pudding dessert, is that okay?”

"Okay, no problem."

Jiang Xiao nodded and didn't raise any arguments. The matter was originally a last-minute idea, so it was pretty good to be like this.

Then without saying anything else, he found a piece of chef's clothes to change into, and then he held up his hands as instructed.

Yan Hong is a silent person with a silent temperament. Apart from talking about cooking, he basically has nothing to say at other times, but Jiang Xiao actually likes to deal with such a pure person.

…………

About twenty minutes later, Jiang Xiao, who acted as a temporary waiter, changed out of his chef clothes and pushed three steaks to the table on a dining cart.

He placed one portion in front of Zhang Ziling and Bai Yingzhen, and then he sat down with his own portion and said to the former: "Miss Zhang, I'm a little hasty, so I'll just serve the main course. Don't mind.

Pan-fried steak, taste it first."

"You're welcome, let me try it first."

Zhang Ziling smiled and didn't say much. He quickly picked up a knife and fork and cut a small piece of beef from the browned steak. It was medium rare and had distinct layers, which clearly shows the chef's control over the heat.

Then the aroma of the beef itself and the taste of rosemary prompted her to dip some of the sauce into it without any hesitation, and simply put it in her mouth to taste it.

The meat is smooth and tender, and under the beef juices, there is a milky fragrance flowing freely, constantly stimulating the nerves on the tip of the tongue.

After she finished eating, she couldn't help but praise: "Well, it's really delicious. The beef is very tender and has a rich taste. To be honest, although I don't have many opportunities to eat Western food, today's steak

, definitely the best steak I’ve ever had.”

"As long as you are satisfied, Miss Zhang."

Hearing the sound, Bai Yingzhen, who had always been paying attention, answered immediately. After all, the chef is her brother. Every time she gets recognition from diners, she is completely happier than her brother.

The only one is Jiang Xiao, who is very picky all day long, huh!

But what is discouraging is that the other party seems to have the ability to be picky, otherwise she would not be in the capital now, and she took the initiative to become someone's assistant.

"Brother Ling is indeed an excellent chef."

Although he was a little surprised that Assistant Bai answered the question first, when he thought that Jiang Xiao had mentioned that the chef was his brother, Zhang Ziling immediately praised him with relief.

“It’s really good and delicious.”

Here, Jiang Xiao, who also took a bite of steak, also praised it.

Although there is still room for improvement, he is in a special situation because he was blamed for cheating, which is why he is so proud.

And Yan Hong's skill is really not bad, absolutely top-notch. After all, if steak is not fried well, it will probably disappoint many people, but that's all.

Especially boys who are dating girls, take them to a Western restaurant, hoping to create some atmosphere, but they find that the taste of steak...

It's not as delicious as cutting a pound of beef and frying it with green peppers at home, and it's so expensive that people don't want to pay.

These situations are basically a matter of chef level.

Of course, there is also the issue of beef quality. After all, beef is divided into three, six, and nine grades. There is still an essential difference between ordinary beef and those beef with eye-popping prices.

Some things are expensive, but they are expensive for a reason.

"Hey, pick again."

Why did Bai Yingzhen, who murmured in his mind, not believe Jiang Xiao's words so much?

After complimenting her, Jiang Xiao put down his knife and fork. Naturally, he couldn't see through Bai Mei's inner thoughts and didn't care.

Without hesitation, he quickly picked up the red wine glass and gestured to Zhang Ziling: "Miss Zhang, let me toast you."

…………

The next day, Jiang Xiao appeared in Seoul, South Korea, to promote "Wushuang".

After various communications, the film has finally been released in Southeast Asian countries one after another. Recently, it has also begun to be released in South Korea and Japan, so he came at the invitation of the partner.
