The waiter who ate abalone asked him how many heads he wanted. How to answer professionally?

With the improvement of living standards, eating abalone is no longer a luxury life, especially living by the sea, and even banquets have sea cucumbers and abalone. Although abalone is sold in the seafood market, I am used to eating directly in restaurants most of the time. When the waiter first asked you how many heads you wanted, netizen: It's really embarrassing not to answer!

abalone

Speaking of abalone, it seems to be related to snails, which are shaped a bit like our ears, so they are also called "sea ears". There are nine holes in the edge of the shell, from which seawater flows in and out, and even the breathing, excretion and fecundity of abalone depend on it, so it is also called "nine-hole snail". The surface of the shell is rough with dark brown patches, and the inner surface is blue, green, red and blue. Abalone, known as the "crown of seafood", has been one of the eight treasures since ancient times and the first of the four major seafood.

Abalone meat is tender, fresh but not greasy, and its nutritional value is very rich. It contains 20 kinds of amino acids, rich in protein, and contains more nutrients such as calcium, iron, iodine and vitamin A. Abalone meat also contains an ingredient called "Bao Su", which has the effects of nourishing yin, strengthening yang, quenching thirst and treating stranguria. It is a nourishing but not dry seafood, which is of great benefit to human body.

Low-end restaurant

Many people will mistakenly think that the number of heads mentioned by the waiter here refers to several, so some will answer four and some will answer six. The answer will depend on your own needs, but the number of abalone served at the end is different. Why? It turns out that the head pointed by the waiter refers to the weight of a single abalone. These are all jargon, about 0.604 kg in size, and they are called Sima Jin.

If the waiter directly asks you how many abalones you want, you can ask the restaurant to sell some abalones first, so you can choose directly from the waiter's answer. If the number of abalone is small, it will be big and naturally expensive, but the more abalone in the same number, the smaller the size and the cheaper the price.

Under normal circumstances, the abalone sold in low-end restaurants is not that big, that is, 6-8 heads, but for those high-end restaurants, the abalone sold may be slightly larger than 3-6 heads, so the price will naturally be more expensive. In fact, there is also a saying that it is difficult to buy two abalones with money in daily life, because the abalones at the top and both ends of the market are particularly rare, and things are rare, so money may not be available.

Superior restaurant

In a high-end restaurant, the waiter will ask you directly whether you want dry goods or fresh food. For many people, the fresher the seafood, the better, but this is not the case. The nutritional value of dried abalone is higher than that of fresh abalone, and the natural price will be higher.

However, according to professionals, if you eat abalone for the first time 1 time, you can choose cheaper fresh abalone, and then choose dried abalone after you have accumulated a lot of experience. Therefore, when you eat abalone 1 time, you must be clear. Don't pretend to know, joking will make people feel particularly embarrassed.

If the waiter asks you how many abalones you want, you must remember the above two points. This kind of answer will make you look particularly professional and won't lose face. The waiter will also think that you are a complete insider. I wonder if you remember?
