How can one appear to be an experienced diner in the small restaurants of Sichuan?

If you ask where the best food in Sichuan can be found, a true Sichuanese would certainly not recommend trying the products from state-owned, traditional brands. It’s those hidden away in the back corners that have the most intense flavor. And it’s the girls in these restaurants who are in charge of taking orders, serving food, and collecting money that are truly worth challenging. When ordering: ✔ Girl, I’ll order three dishes! Good-tasting ‘cheap eateries’ are always packed. So, even if you’ve just sat down, you must shout in a very annoying tone, \"Girl, this dish costs three!\" Make it seem like you’ve been waiting for a long time, as if you’re getting a little annoyed; that way, the girl will definitely come right away. When the food is being served: ✔ If our order doesn’t arrive soon, we won’t take it anymore. Place your order quickly – it would be a waste of time to wait. So, you must urge them to serve the food in an even more impatient tone than when placing the order, and even threaten them a little: “If our food doesn’t come soon, we won’t take it!” Once you say that, you’ll find that the orders of those who arrived before you still haven’t been served yet, while yours will already be ready. One more reminder: you must shout loudly! Annoying! Potential! At checkout: ✔Boss, charge the money! Don’t act like some successful person at a banquet who thinks that saying \"I’ll pay\" in a soft voice will make the owner take care of it; instead, you need to fit in with the local atmosphere of Sichuan by shouting gently, \"Boss, please charge me.\" The boss immediately came over, smiling.
