Chapter 49 Buffet guide

Buffet, buffet, is also borrowed from French, originally referring to a sideboard or a restaurant with a food counter, and has nothing to do with "self-service".Translating buffet into "buffet" is like translating God into "God", which is an irreparable and helpless misleading.According to the logic of thinking in Chinese, I have to "self-help" when I spend money on "meals", which makes people feel that the store owes us.Therefore, the restaurant is often preset as an imaginary enemy, and a battle to the death is always scheduled.Such a result is often a lose-lose, not to mention, the stomach must be severely injured.

There is a saying: God helps those who help themselves.To get God's help in advance, you must first correct your thinking and position yourself between yourself and the buffet. Technically, you must have a mature strategy.Stores should be regarded as strategic partners, that is, cooperation and struggle, in order to achieve a win-win situation. A decent buffet is an expensive meal. The word buffet can also be transliterated as "a lot of money".However, this kind of "expensive" can be predicted in advance, so the key to the strategy is to use this locked-in cost to pursue the maximization of profits.The "profit" here is not only the quantity of things absorbed, but also the comprehensive feeling of quality and happiness.The so-called strategy, rising to the level of economics and philosophy, is a strategy for how people deal with themselves in a situation where they can get what they want, and it is a game between the spirit and the body.

First of all, such as time-limited, limited, and major dishes that are not replenished for a long time after they are exhausted, all these should be firmly excluded from the cooperation list.Although the fee is cheap, the super-standard performance that the despicable side of human beings can get on this occasion is beyond imagination.Especially in the crowded cafeteria, getting food is like hunting for treasure in an ancient tomb, but it is even more difficult and dangerous to safely escort a plate of food to your own table. The situation is like a herd of beasts biting and fighting for food. Those who want to eat must protect it with all their strength, escape to a secluded place after breaking out of the encirclement, and only then can they chew.

After choosing a suitable restaurant, the next step is the tactical layout.Generally speaking, a seat close to the dining table is the most convenient to pick up things, and it seems to have the advantage of being close to the water. However, this kind of place is like the front line of the battlefield or the small restricted area of ​​the football field. In the rear, try to be quiet, and you can also use the extension of the walking route to maintain the sustainable development of appetite. A buffet is like a record. Among the dazzling array, there are always one or two "main highlights", or "highlights".Western-style, it will be oysters, lobster or caviar; Chinese-style, it will be shark fin, bird's nest and so on.These things are the hard currency in food, and the price is not difficult to convert. Since the shopkeepers lure them to make profits, we naturally have to use their tricks and never let them go.The so-called "don't let it go" does not mean that you would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go, but it is selective, beneficial, reasonable, and restrained.For example, oysters and the like, you can eat a dozen in a row without any hindrance. If it is the best stuff, you might as well open a bottle of white (grape) wine. Although it is an extra plan, although the drinks in the cafeteria are usually more expensive, it is definitely worth it.

After all, it is Western-style food, and there are established procedures for the placement of food, and the procedures often exude a sense of conspiracy, so the salads and sushi that are in the starting lineup should be tasted first. These starchy things are not helpful The return on investment, and it is very easy to fall into the situation of "full belly before the success of the teacher".In fact, the most difficult thing is to have too many choices, and live "variety" in front of the front, which will lead to chaos.In this situation, as Schopenhauer said: "We seldom think about what we have, but always think about what we lack."

You must eat everything on your plate with no distractions, and silently recite Sima Guang's golden sentence: "Before the final volume, I swear not to read other books." Nothing to be ashamed of either.Of course, while the gentlemen are self-helping themselves, the store owners should not take advantage of the opportunity to act like villains. Empty orders need to be withdrawn frequently, and they must be calm, otherwise, they are deliberately trying to make us gentlemen look good.
