Chapter 63 Who dares to bet with me?
"Hey, you, come here!"

Yang Huan pointed at the waiter just now, and yelled fiercely.

The waitress saw with her own eyes that her boss was as obedient as a grandson just now, and she didn't dare to neglect this uncle at this time, so she rushed over immediately, nodded and bowed, "Excuse me, what's your order?"

His voice trembled a little, for fear that he would offend the old man.

"I think the ones I ordered just now are not enough, so I can order more." Yang Huan thought for a while, "By the way, what kind of abalone is the abalone in your store?"

"Jipin abalone, imported from Japan." The waiter replied tremblingly.

"Damn it, the Chinese restaurant uses Japanese abalone, it's outrageous!" Yang Huan was filled with righteous indignation when he heard it.

"What's the matter?" The white-haired old man was a little confused. Is there a problem with the Japanese abalone in the Chinese restaurant?
"What's the matter? Those sons of bitches have been arguing with us all the time. We hate them very much. It's completely wrong. You said, can a Chinese restaurant use Japanese abalone to make Chinese food?"

Zhang Ning just took a sip of water and almost spit it out.

Isn't it abalone?

"No, I can't let you continue to use this inferior Japanese abalone to slaughter ignorant consumers. You go and tell the chef that all the abalones with more than six heads have been cooked for me. Today I will ask the Japanese devils to pay back some interest!"

When the waiter heard this, he almost rolled his eyes. Did you make all the abalones with more than six heads?

"Don't tell me you don't have six-headed abalones? I believe you have four-headed abalones. If you don't have any, go buy them to make up the number. In short, do as I said, make as many as you have, and pack them if you can't finish them!"

The waiter nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes, we just got a batch of four-headed abalone."

If John Huntel was here at this time, he would definitely vomit blood with anger, but it was four-headed, sister, how much would it cost if he ate all of them?
"By the way, are your shark fins imported from Japan?"

The waiter was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer.

"It looks like the Japanese bastards are catching sharks all over the world!" Yang Huan looked very sad for the sharks, "Go, cook them all for me too, so that you won't hurt other consumers!"

After that, Yang Huan looked at the menu again, ordered a few items according to the most expensive ones, and then ordered the waiter to leave.

After the waiter ran to inform the kitchen, Yang Huan was secretly happy, this time you won't let you vomit blood?

The white-haired old man thought that Yang Huan was deliberately venting his anger on him, and he was grateful in his heart. He stood up, imitated the etiquette of the Chinese people on TV, and bowed, "Thank you, sir, for helping me out."

"You're welcome, I just don't like the rich second generation. In the words of our Chinese, it means fighting against injustice and acting chivalrously." Yang Huan praised himself and was not afraid of blushing.

Zhang Ning almost couldn't hold back his laughter, and hurriedly continued to drink tea to cover up, this guy's face is too thick.

Yang Huan was sitting next to her, so he naturally saw it, reached out his hand, sneaked under the table, and twisted her thigh.

"Ah!" Zhang Ning screamed.

The white-haired old man looked over immediately, and even Long Wu turned his eyes away from the phone screen and looked at Zhang Ning.

Zhang Ning's face was flushed, she couldn't say that she was attacked by Yang Huan on her thigh, she could only act accordingly.

"I think this gentleman is also a gourmet connoisseur. Could it be that he studies Chinese food?"

The white-haired old man chuckled, "My name is Richard Parker. I am a food lover. My favorite thing is to taste food from all over the world. But as an expert, I can only eat, not cook."

"Just like me, he's a foodie!" Yang Huan laughed at himself.

Richard Parker also laughed. He often laughed at himself as a foodie.

"I originally wanted to try Chinese food, but I didn't expect this restaurant to be very disappointing."

"Isn't it easy to eat Chinese food? Did the waiter stop talking just now? Go out and turn left, and there is a Chinese fast food restaurant." Yang Huan felt strange.

Richard Parker shook his head, "To tell you the truth, I have eaten in almost all the Chinese restaurants in all the big cities in the UK, and they are all very disappointing. The business in Harrods in London is good, but the main reason is the good location. As for the dishes they make, you can tell by their service attitude."

Yang Huan didn't know there was such a particularity, "Then you go to Southampton!"

"Southampton?" Richard Parker still shook his head, "I've been to Jinhan Palace, Qilin Pavilion, Jinding Pavilion, and the famous Chinese restaurants in Southampton. Although they are good, they all have their own problems."

"Let's hear it." Yang Huan became interested.

Zhang Ning also began to pay attention to the old man who couldn't stop talking when he talked about eating.

"These Chinese restaurants are all Chinese, or run by Chinese people. The taste is very authentic. From the perspective of food alone, they are not bad, but I always feel that they are lacking in freshness. They are all things that have been eaten for decades. However, the current catering industry pays attention to innovation, and a batch of new dishes are often released every month."

After hearing this, Yang Huan was a little impressed. This coincided with many of his thoughts.

"Another point is that whether it's Jinhan Palace, Qilin Pavilion, or Jinding Pavilion, they are all too obsessed with Chinese traditions, but now many people value experience and health most when eating. It's like you packaged the entire restaurant into a magnificent Forbidden City. But when we walked in, we didn't feel it, and some of them even stimulated our appetite."

Yang Huan nodded again, which was exactly what he thought.

Simple but not simple, it is to bring a little bit of petty bourgeoisie that is different!

"All in all, I'm a little disappointed!" Richard Parker shook his head and sighed.

Hearing this, Zhang Ning became interested and asked, "Mr. Parker, what do you do?"

"Me?" Richard Parker smiled, "I don't have a regular job either, just writing food reviews for newspapers and magazines."

Yang Huan and Zhang Ning immediately understood, no wonder they know so much about catering.

"Then you should go to Southampton again, there is a new high-end Chinese restaurant opened there." Yang Huan suggested.

"Recently opened?"

"Well, Jinhan Palace has changed hands. The new owner has renovated it and invited some famous Chinese chefs and nutritionists to re-create tailor-made Chinese dishes. I think you should try it."

Just think of it as a free advertisement for Wangjiang Pavilion!
After hearing this, Richard Parker asked Yang Huan, "Sir, have you eaten there? What do you think?"

"Well, that's the best Chinese food I've had in England."

Richard Parker slapped the table hard, "Okay, even if you say that, I'll try it tomorrow!"

It is only an hour's drive from London to Southampton, and the traffic is also very convenient.

"Trust me, you will not be disappointed!" Yang Huan was full of confidence.

Just kidding, can the restaurant that he and Zhang Ning conspired to create be worse?
Do you really think that all that money and energy are thrown into the River Teste?
…………

…………

After a very extravagant dinner, the table was full of food, and there were some unbearable abalones and shark fins.

Yang Huan refused to pack, but Richard Parker didn't mind, and finally he asked the waiter to pack and clear the table.

After leaving the restaurant, Yang Huan left a phone number for Richard Parker, asking him to call himself when he arrived in Southampton. Then he took Zhang Ning and Long Wu out of the Harrods mall and went straight to the Valley Stadium on the south bank of the River Thames.

As far as Charlton is concerned, domestic fans are no strangers at all, because the national footballer Zheng Zhi played for this team before, and later went to the Celtics in the Scottish Premier League, and returned to China to play in the Super League this summer.

Speaking of which, Alan Pardue, who was fired by Yang Huan, has a very good relationship with Zheng Zhi.

When Yang Huan arrived at the Valley Stadium, Nicola Cortes and Sun Yue had already been notified and were waiting for him at the entrance.

"How is it? This afternoon's press conference, are you going to be in the limelight?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

Nicola Cotters suddenly smiled wryly, "Those FA men, do you think it's easy to deal with?"

"Now I finally understand why those online fans in China call England the Kingdom of Europe." Sun Yue was so sad that he had nowhere to complain.

Yang Huan laughed and walked directly to the entrance.

"How are Bielsa and the others preparing?"

After going through the security check, Yang Huan and others walked into the elevator leading to the rostrum.

"Well, it's almost the same. This time Bielsa decided to send the main force to play." Nicola Cortez said a little excitedly.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time Southampton has used its main force in the new season.

"Oh? The starting lineup is out?" Yang Huan asked with a smile.

"Well." Sun Yue replied, "The goalkeeper is Neuer, the defense line from left to right, David Alaba, Benatia, Varane and Carvajal, the three midfielders are Strowman, Vidal and Adam Lallana, and the front trident is Neymar, Ibrahimovic and Chamberlain."

Both Adam Lallana and Oxlade-Chamberlain are Southampton's youth players, and the two players have performed very well in the previous few games. Adam Lallana is currently the team's top scorer, and Chamberlain is also eye-catching on the right.

Generally speaking, it is understandable that Bielsa continues to trust these two players to start.

James Rodriguez's position was replaced by Neymar. After all, the Brazilian genius has a better name and better strength, while the Colombian is still adapting to England's football style.

Of course, whether Neymar needs to adapt is also a question.

When Yang Huan heard this starting list, he was full of confidence. Not much else to say, just pick out any one, in [-] they were all awesome characters, even Adam Lallana and Chamberlain were England international players.

If such a lineup can't beat Charlton, Yang Huan will really consider withdrawing Bielsa.

But in other people's eyes, it doesn't look like that.

Ibrahimovic, Neymar, Vidal and Neuer are undoubtedly outstanding stars, but David Alaba, Benatia, Varane, Carvajal and others are not well-known. Benatia played in Ligue [-] before. Although Alaba, Varane and Carvajal came from wealthy families, they have no game experience and are all rookies.

Strowman is a low-level player in the Netherlands. Adam Lallana is alright. He has proved himself, but he is not a star player. Chamberlain is even more of a rookie.

Therefore, looking at the entire Southampton lineup, except for the four stars, there is really nothing to show for it.

Coupled with the poor state of Southampton recently, the four players have not been in the team for a long time, so many people outside are pessimistic about Southampton's away game against Charlton.

After all, Charlton failed to hit the English Championship last season. This season is determined to qualify for promotion. Defeating Southampton is also a matter of promotion. Charlton, who is playing at home, will definitely try his best to die.

When Yang Huan led a group of people out of the elevator and appeared in the grandstand of Charlton's Valley Stadium, he heard a familiar voice stomping on Southampton.

"I dare say now that Phil Parkinson's team will definitely sweep Southampton back to the south coast today. As long as Wright Phillips is here, we will win at least two goals against them today."

"If you don't believe me, who dares to gamble with me?"
