1504. Michelin 3 Stars
Qin Shiou didn't know how it was such a coincidence that he ran into Charles Murray here. He glanced at him strangely, and then his heart moved-this guy didn't come for the Carter fishery, did he?
However, this is just his guess, and it is not unusual for Charles Murray to appear here. The Murray family's site is in the United States, and they have been exploring the Canadian market these years. Because Nova Scotia is close to the United States, and Halifax is the nearest big city across New York, they use this as a bridgehead. Business.
Charles didn't notice him, and they walked along the promenade after leaving the restaurant. The group talked and laughed, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Qin Shiou hid himself behind Heidao. He didn't want to meet Charles. Naturally, he wasn't afraid of him, but he didn't want to expose himself.
Perhaps it was normal for Charles to appear in Halifax, but he was definitely not normal. With the cleverness of the foreign devils in the Murray family, they would definitely realize after seeing him that he was here to buy the Carter Fishery.
Hei Dao deserves to be a special elite who has received reconnaissance and anti-reconnaissance training. With Qin Shiou's cover-up action, he saw the problem and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone you don't want to see?"
Qin Shiou thought for a while and said, "Did you see that obscene guy? That yellow-haired white guy, at eleven o'clock."
Hei Dao nodded and said, "I see."
"Follow him, go find out what they're chatting, and try to find out their purpose for coming here." Qin Shiou said.
Hei Knife bought a baseball cap and a newspaper from the nearby convenience store, and then walked towards Charles and his party with leisurely steps.
There are many shops on the walking road, with a complete range of food, drink, housing and transportation, specializing in tourist business.
Qin Shiou walked into the restaurant where Charles and others had stayed before. The restaurant was small in scale and looked ordinary from the outside. It was an ordinary house in a small fishing village, with fishing nets, tires, scrapped rudders, harpoons and other things hanging outside the door. .
But if you look closely, you can see that the restaurant is unusual. Although there are many things outside the house, it is not messy. It is orderly and has the leisurely style of a fishing village.
There is a flower-shaped bright silver stainless steel plate inlaid at the entrance of the restaurant, with a line of letters written on it: -, above the letters are four numbers. Below is a pattern of three petals.
Seeing this brand, Qin Shiou was a little surprised. This is the Michelin food logo, and the three patterns are not petals, but Michelin stars. Meaning this is a Michelin 3 star restaurant!
As for the four numbers,
Meaning they rated this restaurant in 2019, this restaurant has had their 3 star rating for several years which is amazing.
Foodies all over the world know that Michelin is not only a manufacturer of tires, but also a long-established French authoritative appraisal agency specializing in food and beverage industry.
In 2010, the founder of Michelin tires published a guide for passengers to choose restaurants during their journey, namely "Michelin Red Book". Since then, the "Michelin Red Collection", which has been refurbished every year, has been regarded as a treasure by "gourmets" and known as the European gourmet bible. It began to rate stars for restaurants in France every year, and later, it began to go to the world to rate restaurants all over the world.
Michelin's review is quite rigorous and fair, even almost harsh, with a total of three stars and three levels: one star is a restaurant "worthy" to visit, and it is a particularly excellent restaurant in the same food style; the cooking skills of two star restaurants are very good. Gao Ming is a restaurant that is "worth a detour"; three stars is a restaurant that is "worth a special trip" to visit. It has unforgettable delicious food, and it is said that it is worth taking a "flying" special trip to dine .
As of this year, as far as Qin Shiou knows, there is only one Michelin three-star restaurant in the world. There is no restaurant in Newfoundland that reaches this level, not even a two-star Michelin restaurant!
So how can you not be surprised to see a Michelin three-star restaurant here?
Qin Shiou is considered a foodie now, and of course he is not very particular about foodies. He likes high-end foods such as foie gras and caviar, and he can eat small miscellaneous fish in iron pots and sorghum pancakes soaked in broth with relish. For foodies, Michelin three-star restaurants are one of the most attractive places.
Suddenly seeing a three-star restaurant in this kind of place is as shocking to foodies as Wu Chi suddenly encounters a sweeping monk in the Shaolin Tibetan Scripture Pavilion.
Qin Shiou walked into this small restaurant that was not very eye-catching from the outside. Then a woman in a clean linen fleece stopped him and asked with a smile, "Hello, sir, do you have an appointment?"
Any Michelin restaurant will never lack customers. Even in Europe, counting Michelin "stars" to eat a big meal is a very high level of enjoyment, and even a Michelin one-star restaurant has to limit customers every day.
Therefore, basically you can’t enter this kind of restaurant without making an appointment, and making an appointment is not as simple as making a phone call. You also need to explain what dishes you want to eat, so that the chef will prepare them.
Qin Shiou had eaten three Michelin stars twice before. The first time he was in New York, Billy invited him to per-se for dinner, and he also met Avril Lavigne at the time; the second time he ate at Azabu Yukimura in Tokyo, and both times he was treated by someone , so he doesn't know how to make an appointment.
Bird wanted to go up to negotiate, Qin Shiou shook his head, there was no need to do this, just follow the rules of the family, originally he didn't want to come in for dinner, but wanted to see if Charles had left any traces inside.
Although he couldn't sit in and eat at a Michelin three-star restaurant, he just felt a little regretful. The waves and sea breeze sharpened his temperament and changed his mind drastically.
He said sorry to the waiter and was about to leave. At this time, a tall middle-aged man in a chef's attire came out. He glanced at Qin Shiou and asked, "Hi, Mr. Qin?"
Qin Shiou looked at the middle-aged man. He was sure that he had never seen this man. Maybe the other party had seen him in newspapers and media. After all, he was considered a small celebrity no matter what.
So he stretched out his hand and said, "Hi, I'm Qin Shiou, nice to meet you."
The middle-aged chef smiled generously: "Hello, Mr. Qin, my name is Stanley Calbert, and I am also very happy to meet you. Oh, I want to ask, are you here to eat?"
Qin Shiou was a little embarrassed, and said: "It's a bit presumptuous, buddy, I didn't make a reservation for a table, so I think I will regretfully miss it this time, maybe next time I make an appointment in advance to have a real treat."
The middle-aged chef smiled and said: "That's not necessary, come on, Mr. Qin, sit inside, there happens to be an empty table."
For some reason, Qin Shiou looked at his smile and felt a little unpredictable, as if this guy had other thoughts behind his smile. (To be continued.)
