Chapter 40: How is the taste?

"Since he is so good, you can introduce your daughters to him."Calista said to Becker and Jaxson. Becker and Jaxson each had a daughter, who was also around 20 years old. Calista wasn't wrong at all. When Becker and Jaxson heard what she said, they smiled awkwardly, but they cursed deep down, "Do you think we don't want to introduce our daughter to Mr. Li? But Mr. Li doesn't like them." When the two of them were still in an awkward state, the waiter came in with the dishes. Kelmen was indeed one of the best restaurants in Jiangzhou. Not only is it luxuriously decorated, but its service was first-class. The food preparation speed and the taste of the dishes were both outstanding. The few of them couldn't help but praise the taste as they ate. Of course, in George's mind, the taste of this dish was far worse than Aunt Wang's roasted chicken. As expected, Becker and Jaxson toasted Elijah during the meal. Even Luca hesitated before picking up the wine glass, but George and Calista did not react at all as if they had not seen it. At this time, Becker Li spoke again, "George, come on, stand up and toast Mr. Li too. Today is Mr. Li's treat. Moreover, with Mr. Li's care, your future endeavours in school will be much smoother." Elijah looked at George arrogantly, waiting for the latter to stand up and toast him. However, he was thinking in his heart that when George toasted, he would refuse directly and embarrass him. However, when George heard Becker's words, he said, "I don't know how to drink." "Drink a little, it'll be fine. What man doesn't know how to drink?" Becker didn't let George off the hook. "I've always been a teetotaler." George insisted. "George, I really need to tell you off. Your attitude isn't acceptable in the workplace and you will suffer a loss. Even if you don't know how to drink, you still have to drink a little." Jaxson looked like a senior as he told George off. "I'm allergic to alcohol. I'll have to go to the hospital if I drink it. If something happens, Mr. Wang, will you be responsible?" George looked at Jaxson and asked. "This, this..." Jaxson was speechless for a moment. Jaxson naturally did not dare to say that he would be responsible for anything that happened. After all, this matter could be big or small. If something really happened to George, wouldn't he end up in jail? This time it was Calista's turn to laugh. She could see that George just didn't want to toast. As for the alcohol allergy, it was just an excuse. However, Jaxson obviously didn't dare to gamble, so he was temporarily stunned. Elijah looked at George bitterly. He didn't expect George to be so cunning, and it was hard to force him on the wine issue. If he really forced George to toast him, wouldn't it be very shameful? After thinking about it, Elijah glanced at Becker. Becker understood, put the chopsticks in his hands down and sighed, "Today is really an eye-opener. The food here tastes so good. I'm afraid that after this meal, other dishes will be completely tasteless." "Yes, it's really all thanks to Mr. Li. Otherwise, how would we have the opportunity to eat here?" Jaxson also said. A new round of flattery was coming. However, George did not expect Becker to direct the conversation to him when he changed the subject. "George, what do you think of the food here? You never tasted such delicious food before, right?" Becker said. Obviously, this was an opportunity to belittle George, meaning that he had never seen the world either. Just like him! In order to flatter Elijah and attack George, Becker tried his best by belittling himself. However, what he, Elijah, and the others did not expect was that George shook his head and said, "I think the food here tastes average. I have eaten food that tastes better than the food here before." George was telling the truth. Although the food here tasted good, it was far inferior compared with Aunt Wang. In fact, George felt that even if he made the food, the taste may not be worse than what was served here. However, other people did not know George Wu's situation. After hearing George Wu's words, they did not believe what he said and thought he was bragging. Elijah even sneered and said, "You have to look at the place when you are bragging. This is one of the best restaurants in Jiangzhou. Even at several other good restaurants, the taste of the dishes are almost the same, but you actually said that the food here tastes average? Have you ever tasted food that tastes better? You are really bragging, and you're not afraid of making others laugh at all too." This time, even Calista didn't believe George. She had been to several top restaurants in Jiangzhou, and the taste was almost the same indeed, just as Elijah said. Moreover, Calista also felt that the taste of the dishes in these restaurants were good, at least, it was definitely not as average as George said. Of course, Calista would definitely not mock George like Elijah did. "Bragging? Is this necessary?" George said lightly, "Not to mention other things, even the taste of the dishes I cook is no worse than the ones here." "You? Haha." Elijah couldn't help but laugh, "Did you know that the chefs here are all hired at a high price from all over the country. Each one of them is a master at cooking. How could the dishes you cook be worthy to compare with them?" "George, you youngsters should be down-to-earth. Don't be so ignorant." Jaxson told George off again. George wondered if Jaxson was from the Academic Affairs Office. Otherwise, why would he like to tell people off so much? "Forget it if you don't believe me. I'm just telling the truth." George shrugged and said casually, not caring about the others at all. "Do you think that if you just say it casually, you can't compete with the chefs here anyway, so it'll be hard for us to judge whether you're telling the truth?" Elijah sneered, "Sorry to disappoint you then. I know the manager here, and I can ask him to help arrange it later so that you can compete with the chefs here." "Why should I compete?" George asked Elijah, "I just said that my cooking skills are no worse than those of the chefs here, but I didn't say that I wanted to compete with them." "What, are you scared?" The sarcastic expression on Elijah face became even more intense. "It's not that I'm afraid, I just don't think it's necessary." George said, "I have something else to do after dinner." George was still thinking that if he had time after dinner, he would go to his stall. How could he dilly dally here and stop himself from earning more? Elijah tried to persuade George a few more times, but failed to get George to agree. However, he did not give up on this opportunity to embarrass George in front of Calista, so he secretly sent a message on his phone.
