"...Western food?"
"Western?"
Cheng Tianlin was stunned for a while. After hearing these words from Song Huan that he had never heard of before, he was almost dumbfounded.
"Brother!"
"What are you talking about!"
"Where is the West?"
"have you been there?"
Song Huan was stunned. He didn't expect that Daliang hadn't explored the west side of the earth yet.
It’s okay, it’s not a bad thing if you haven’t been there.
Doesn't this just provide yourself with an opportunity?
“I’ve been there, but I haven’t been either!”
"But sooner or later, we all have the chance to go."
"At that time, I want the entire Eurasian continent to crawl at the feet of my beam and bow their heads!"
Although Cheng Tianlin still couldn't understand what Song Huan was talking about, seeing his high-spirited and passionate look, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"Anyway, I'll hit wherever brother points me, no ambiguity!"
"At that time, I have to go to the West and try it myself. What is the difference between the food they eat with knives and forks and the food we eat with chopsticks!"
After saying that, the two looked at each other and smiled, feeling unspeakable anger and heroism in their hearts!
While he was talking, several young eunuchs were already filing in with plates in hand.
"The food is here!"
Cheng Tianlin's eyes lit up and he looked into the plate expectantly, wanting to see what watercress was.
But when the silver plate was opened, Cheng Tianlin was shocked!
"this……"
"This is really delicious!"
There are green vegetables everywhere, and they are all raw!
Is this thing edible? !
And with such a small amount, who can eat it?
Song Huan opened his mouth and explained: "This is called salad, it is an appetizer!"
"Look carefully, there are more than just green vegetable leaves inside."
When Cheng Tianlin heard this, he tore into the salad a few times, and sure enough he saw chicken, shrimp, eggs, etc.
"Hey, why is there something sticky in this salad? What is it!"
"That's called salad dressing!" Song Huan said with a smile, "This is the essence of salad."
"Try it!"
Cheng Tianlin was suspicious.
A dish is just a dish, no matter what sauce you put on it, it is still a dish in the final analysis!
Is it possible to turn out flowers?
With a skeptical attitude, Cheng Tianlin followed Song Huan's example, rolled up a mouthful of salad with a fork and put it into his mouth.
"Well……"
"so weird!"
Cheng Tianlin's eyes were full of surprise and doubt!
The taste is unpleasant, but it's not unpleasant at all.
I would say it’s delicious, but I don’t think it’s that delicious!
To sum up, it just tastes a bit strange!
However, it is indeed very refreshing, making people salivate and whet their appetite.
What’s even more strange is that after taking one bite, you can’t help but want to take a second and third bite!
Seeing Cheng Tianlin's strange expression, Song Huan couldn't help but laugh.
"This salad is originally an appetizer. The formal Western meal has not even started yet!"
Song Huan's words aroused Cheng Tianlin's strong interest again.
"I'll just say it!"
"The Western food invented by big brother will definitely not taste so ordinary!"
"But one thing to say, although the taste of these lettuce leaves is average, the taste of salad dressing..."
"It's quite exciting!"
"It's not delicious, but the more I eat, the more I want to eat it. It's weird!"
Salad dressing is a high-calorie sauce, so it certainly won't taste bad.
Song Huan didn't say much, but just signaled to Cao An: "Go on."
"yes!"
Cao An gave an order, and the second wave of little eunuchs brought up the dishes.
This time when I opened the dinner plate, there was actually a bowl of soup filled with white flowers!
"Drink soup now?" Cheng Tianlin was a little confused.
Song Huan said: "According to the order in which we eat on weekdays, most of the time we eat first and then drink soup."
"But according to the order of Western food, the first hot dish after the appetizers is hot soup."
"This soup is called Cream of Mushroom Soup. Try it!"
Cheng Tianlin often eats mushrooms.
But this cream...
Never heard of it!
"Brother, what kind of dish is butter?"
Song Huan laughed, thinking that this kid Cheng Tianlin was a little cute in his stupidity.
"Cream is not a dish, it is a... uh..."
"Don't worry about what the cream is, try it first and then talk about it!"
Cheng Tianlin picked up the soup bowl and took a sip. The mellow and sweet hot soup instantly slid into his mouth, making his lips and teeth smell delicious and feeling extremely smooth!
"How's it going? Does it taste good?"
Facing Song Huan's question, Cheng Tianlin seemed to be unable to taste the taste in one sip, and took several sips in succession.
"...weird, very weird!"
“I can’t say it tastes very delicious, but it makes me want to stop eating it!”
Weird?
That’s right!
What we want is to make people’s eyes light up and make them want to stop!
After the appetizers and soup are served, it’s time to get to the real main course.
"Your Highness, General, I have prepared a total of three main dishes today."
“First main course – Beef Wellington!”
This time, as soon as the dinner plate was placed on the table, Cheng Tianlin smelled the enticing aroma of roast beef.
The moment the dinner plate was lifted, a piece of golden food came into view.
"Huh?"
"Brother, I clearly smelled beef just now!"
"But this, this, this... what is this?"
Pointing to the golden food in front of him, Cheng Tianlin was confused.
Song Huan smiled and said nothing, but took the lead in cutting the layer of puff pastry wrapped around the steak with a knife.
For a time, the aroma of beef filled the entire side hall!
I have to say that the level of the royal chef in the palace is indeed ridiculously high.
Just by reading the recipe I provided, I was able to perfectly recreate this dish!
The meat of the steak is extremely tender, and the juice dripping from the cut is enough to make your mouth water.
It's grilled to perfection and is evenly pink inside and out, giving you perfect tenderness and delicious flavor in every bite.
This is the strength of the top royal chef!
Seeing Song Huan cutting the steak with a knife, Cheng Tianlin followed suit and cut off a small piece of steak.
The moment he put it in his mouth, Cheng Tianlin couldn't help but widen his eyes!
"This beef is so tender, so fragrant, and so smooth!"
"It just sucks in your mouth!"
“Mixed with this layer of puff pastry on the outside, it’s so contradictory and harmonious!”
"The key is……"
Having said this, Cheng Tianlin quickly cut off another piece and stuffed it into his mouth eagerly.
"This steak has the taste of beef, the mellow aroma of mushrooms, and a very silky texture!"
"These three flavors are intertwined, echoing and setting off each other. It is really unforgettable!"
"Brother, what is another extremely unique flavor?"
"It's butter." Compared to Cheng Tianlin's excitement, Song Huan seemed much calmer, "I specially wrote down the recipe for making butter and asked the imperial chef to add butter to it."
The craftsmanship of the Imperial Kitchen Room is truly top-notch. If it were done today, it would definitely be at the level of three Michelin stars!
