“The appetizer of Chinese cuisine is divided into two courses, one is cold seafood and the other is cold kelp.

 Unexpectedly, this new menu is very popular with customers.”

“And the point is that it will change at any time with the seasons, so the guests will definitely always feel fresh and will not feel bored. ”
   

“There are also several main dishes, but most of them are Taiwan’s largest rice, as well as noodle soup dishes, and there are thick and thin noodles, everything, at least it can satisfy the appetite of the guests.” 

西式料理幾乎沒有什麼變化，都是沙拉還有牛肉料理，甚至還增加新的幾道魚肉料理。

不過是台灣的魚，像是虱目魚，鮑魚，魷魚，白帶魚，吳郭魚，甚至也有石班魚和黑鮪魚。

「嗯，新鮮的魚配上酸的檸檬倒是還不錯。

就連醬料都是酸酸甜甜的。」

客人的評價很不錯，幾乎都是一面倒的稱讚，可見艾力克斯他們真的成功了。

「 你來吃我這道，豬肉配上百香果酸的味道也很特別，剛好中和醬料鹹的味道。」

女客人也是吃的津津有味，她甚至還分享給對面的男客人，就是為了證明自己的想法沒錯。  

“Alex even designed a questionnaire.

 The questions are all set as Do you like new dishes? 

Would you like to come back to eat it again?”

“After all, it is a new menu, so you have to be more cautious, so that you can improve the menu a little bit.

 Besides, Alex doesn't want to suffer the consequences of failure. ”   

「Alex, hurry up and announce the result.」

“Luke and the others are looking forward to this moment after the business hours are over. 

Now Alex has the questionnaire in his hand.”

「Know, don't worry.

I'm public now.」

“Alex opened the questionnaire slowly, obviously he just wanted to enjoy this time. ”

「What is going on, hurry up.」

“Luke was both anxious and excited now, he obviously wanted to know what the result would be.”   

「Okay, listen clearly, I'll just say it once.

Twenty percent of the guests are unwilling to return here.」

“However, Alex had to start talking about the bad things first, which made the way even more maddening. ”

“After their efforts for a period of time, a miracle happened. 

I think they ate nearby food every day just to meet the taste of Taiwanese.”

“Now Luke can even make Chinese noodles by himself. 

After all, he goes to learn by himself, or consults with Taiwanese. ”

“Now the new menu is half Western and half Chinese. 

If you are not used to Western food, you can eat Chinese or Western. 

Anyway, this is a menu designed only for Taiwanese.  ”

“So it should be easy to attract people, even though they can't be sure, but always try and see.”

「 Frank, are you ready?

There must be no mistakes in the face.

You can't leak me.」

“Luke also specifically explained before business hours, after all, it has been a long time, these employees will never make the most basic mistakes again.”

「Yes, of course, chef, don't worry.」

“Frank was very confident in himself, but his palms were actually sweaty, but no one noticed it. ”

“It is very important to know that this business is very important. 

It is related to the success of Luke's strategy. 

This is very important.”   

“After all, Alex has been waiting for a long time. 

When hope is almost gone, he is still waiting.

 If it wasn't for Luke's good friend for many years, plus his trust in his ability, he might have been kicked out of the restaurant long ago. ”

    

「 Xiaowen, wait a minute to divide the menu into A and B.

A is for Western-style meals, and B is for Chinese-style meals.」

“Alex wanted to say that this kind of kitchen would be more convenient and less confusing.”

「Got it, boss, I will remember.」

“Of course, Xiaowen is the person who does what the boss says. 

After all, he is the person who is responsible for the salary, not the person who pays it. ”

“The moment they opened the door, it was the final result of the test.

 Frankly speaking, Alex also wanted to know what his restaurant could do.”

   

“Although there are only two people left in the outfield, it is considered busy. 

After all, it's just the beginning. 

I don't know if this menu can really be welcomed.”

「Finally came, I waited for a long time.

This time is definitely worth looking forward to.」

“Luke was the first to run, because he had already smelled the scent in the kitchen, and the smell was really strong, it should be worth looking forward to.”

「Of course, this noodle soup is either stewed or braised. 

It's up to the boss and you want to eat.

 Anyway, you can choose for yourself.」

“Xiaowen is afraid that the boss will not adapt to the taste here, so he specially prepares other dishes. ”

   

「I want to eat noodles. This looks good.」

“Luke didn't plan to choose the braised flavor this time. 

Instead, he chose a soup that looked very light.”

   

「 Then I choose braised.」

“Alex thought that since the stew was selected, he would just eat other flavors.

 Anyway, eating the same thing every day would make him tired, and it seemed good to change. ”    

   

“Now Alex still has Luke, who can already pick up the chopsticks skillfully, thinking that they can even hold the chopsticks upside down and the food can fall to the ground.”

“After all, Western countries don't use chopsticks to eat food.

 It is only when you come here that you have to change yourself, although the process is a bit difficult. ”

  

「這個榨菜肉絲麵，用的是蔬菜湯頭，裡面有加入洋蔥、蒜頭、紅蘿蔔、馬鈴薯下去燉煮，聽說熬了三天三夜48小時。

這個麵條用的是白麵條，也是手工制作的，最後再加入榨菜絲、梅干豬肉絲，還有胡椒做為點綴。」

小文說的當然是中文，反正有些菜名，英文也翻譯不出來，那乾脆還是說母語，反正路可聽得懂就好。

  

「 Well, it's really good.

Alex, this must suit your taste.」

“Luke took a spoon and took a sip of the soup, which is considered to be a poison test for Alex, because he is really picky. ”

「It's time for you.」

“Alex was very interested in Luke's noodles because the soup inside was red, but he was afraid of adding chili in it, so he dared not try it. ”  

「這個是紅燒牛肉麵，他們家的高湯用牛骨還有蔬菜下去熬制，湯裡面還有加入花椒與八角下去熬。

湯吃起來會有點辣，嘴巴會有點麻。」

小文依然是用中文在解釋，可能是這樣比較方便一點，而且菜名就是要用中文介紹比較有韻味。

「What kind of dish is today, let me introduce you.」

“The first thing Alex did when he came to the kitchen was this.

 No way, it was his choice. 

Obviously he chose the latter, which was to develop the menu.”

「Boss, what we are cooking today is seafood. 

The main dish is shrimps.

 First, throw the shrimps into the pot and fry them for three minutes, pick them up and put them aside, then stir-fry them with nuts, cabbage, garlic, and peppers. 

Finally, Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

By the way, we still use a little rice wine to bring out the fragrance.」

“Frank and they are studying every day, but they are returned every time, just don't know whether the boss will be satisfied with the cooking this time. ”

   

「It tastes okay. 

Have you thought about the name?

It is best to choose a name that attracts guests.」

“Surprisingly, Alex did not return the food this time. 

Instead, he looked very satisfied, perhaps because of his appetite.”

「No, we will decide after discussing it.」

“Frank and they are of course very happy, but they can't be too excited, lest the boss doesn't like it, it's not good. ”

   

「Thanks for your hard work, let's go to your business.」

“Luke was also very surprised.

 The reason for working so long was not to get Alex's approval.

 This time it finally yielded results.”   

「It's spicy, please pour me a glass of water.

Luke, haven't you tried this dish.」

“Alex endured for so long without smiling. 

It turned out to be looking for water to drink.

 It seemed that this dish was very spicy to him.

Luke kindly took out a PET bottle filled with water and handed it over. "  

   

「 Okay, I tried it. 

It's just a bit spicy, but not very spicy.

Still you can't eat spicy food.」

“Luke's stomach can withstand this taste, otherwise he usually eats this kind of food, so after a long time, he will naturally become paralyzed.”

「Maybe, I think it should be because you usually eat too much spicy food.

Since you have been here, you have loved the food here.」

“Alex's mouth is still numb up to now, but it's much better, at least it doesn't have the feeling of burning in his mouth just now. ”

「 This is true, but if you want to open a restaurant, you have to understand the taste here.」

“Luke thinks this is the most basic, but Alex has never been able to accept it, so of course he can't integrate.”  

「Come for lunch.

I bought this from near the station. 

I heard that as long as it is noon, the guests will come in an endless stream.

Their noodle soup and bento are the most popular.」

“As long as Xiaowen comes back from the neighborhood by noon, although this is not good for the restaurant, it is stipulated by the boss and it is to integrate into the local culture. ”
