The wind and the remaining clouds! At this moment, the only way to describe the eating habits of these distinguished guests is as a wind and a cloud. Those Chinese dishes without any additives are already fresh in their memory. What's more, these special soups with fresh ingredients easily conquered the Duke. heart of.
Sodium glutamate and poppy shell extract, these two killer weapons are mixed together. How can the fragile taste buds of people in this era withstand it? Even modern people in the 21st century who have been strongly stimulated by chemical flavors will find it difficult to resist. Such temptation.
The Duke is also a well-known upper-class nobleman in Europe. What hasn't he eaten? What haven't you seen? He used to think that the captains in the combined fleet were exaggerating. In his mind, it would be good if Chinese cuisine could stand side by side with French cuisine.
French cuisine has never made the Duke so upset!
How did he know Xiao Letian's insidiousness? He actually thought of combining these two taste bud killers and became the first test subject of Xian Zhiyuan.
Xiao Letian sneered in his heart, "Eat, keep eating, you'll get addicted to it. By then, my fresh food will be sold in Europe. Aren't you just a walking advertisement!"
The four soups were quickly exhausted, and the most exaggerated thing was that the Duke actually replenished them three times in a row. This was really not an elegant way to eat, but under the temptation of delicious food, he didn't care about etiquette.
"Oh God! I'm so rude. I'm sorry..." The extremely reluctant Duke finally put down the silver spoon. At this time, his expression looked extremely lonely.
"It's such a delicious food. I wonder if I will have the chance to taste it again in the future... What a pity, what a pity..."
At this time, Zai Chun said magnanimously, "It doesn't matter. The Duke likes it. I can order them to cook for you every day. I think I, the great Qing Dynasty, will not be short of this little food money, hahaha..."
The Duke also laughed twice: "Your Majesty, I accept your kindness, but your visit is time-limited. When you return home, these royal chefs will naturally be taken away..."
"That doesn't matter. As long as I give the order, I can leave a few royal chefs for you, so you can enjoy Chinese food for a long time..."
Emperor Tongzhi's words suddenly changed Liu Dadao's expression, and he knelt on the ground with a thud, "Long live my lord...don't, slave, I still have a wife and children at home, I can't stay here..."
At that time, although China was weak, the trend of favoring foreign countries had not yet appeared. What ordinary people paid attention to was that it was difficult to leave their homeland. They did not want to leave the land where their ancestors lived and immigrate to foreign countries.
The little emperor said with a gloomy face, "Bold slave, how dare you resist and disobey the order?"
Liu Dadao kowtowed like garlic, "Your Majesty, please calm down, Your Majesty, please calm down! It's not that the slave is brave, the key is... the key is..." At this point, Liu Dadao glanced at Xiao Letian.
Xiao Letian nodded, "Just say what you have to say, don't worry!"
"I'll make it clear to you, slave...Long live my Lord, and Master Foreign! This dish tastes good, and it is naturally related to the craftsmanship of the slaves, but our craftsmanship alone is not enough..."
"Here...there is also the role of the secret recipe passed down by Prime Minister Xiao's family. It was Yuan who used the secret spices passed down by the Xiao family, which gave the ingredients a unique and delicious taste. Didn't you realize that these dishes are all special? Is it fresh?"
"Secret spices? Spices passed down from the master's family?" Zai Chun and the Duke of Newcastle were stunned. At this moment, even Luo Huo, Sima Yun and others were confused. Only Wang Huaiyuan had a flash of light in his mind, and he probably guessed that Xiao Letian was going to trick people again.
Xiao Letian snapped his fingers at the cabin door, signaling Doctor Huang outside to come in. Soon the flat porcelain bottle was placed on the white jacquard tablecloth.
"Yes, there is such a thing as secret spices. This is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. In fact, if I don't take the path of politics, I can rely on this secret recipe to become a big businessman, and I will be prosperous!"
"Prepare two bowls of boiling water..." Xiao Letian ordered.
Under the gaze of the Duke of Newcastle, Xiao Letian opened the cork of the bottle, sprinkled some brown powder into the bowl of boiling water, and then stirred evenly with a silver spoon.
"Your Majesty Duke, you can taste the difference between these two bowls of water..."
The Duke carefully blew the tureen and tasted the boiled water first. Sure enough, there was no difference between ordinary boiled water. But when he tasted the bowl of boiled water with added ingredients, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's so fresh! It turned into a bowl of delicious soup." !”
That's right, Xian Zhiyuan originally contains a certain proportion of salt, and the combined effect of glutamic acid and poppy extract turns a cup of ordinary white water into a bowl of extremely delicious seafood soup.
"It's amazing! It's amazing! It turns decay into magic!" The Duke couldn't help but praise it again and again.
Everyone present became interested and asked the attendants to bring bowls of boiling water, and then carefully poured the secret spices into the bowls. Especially Zai Chun, who did not need Da Sixi or the others to do anything, but sprinkled and stirred the spices himself.
After a brief taste, Zai Chun's eyes lit up. "Sure enough, the taste has changed. Master, how did you do it? Teach me, teach me..."
Xiao Letian laughed bitterly, "This is a secret recipe left by our ancestors. It is the last guarantee for my children and grandchildren to eat. You can't teach it!"
At this time, the flat porcelain pot happened to be in Luo Huo's hand. The lavish general's hands were trembling and he spilled two ounces of fresh food into the tureen.
"Oh, you are a prodigal? Do you know how expensive this spice is?" Xiao Letian said angrily, "Just this bottle costs 70,000 taels of silver!"
"Ah!" Everyone was shocked. Luo Huo almost broke the porcelain bottle with his hands shaking.
"That's it. It's probably only half a catty! It costs 70,000 taels of silver?" Everyone couldn't believe their ears.
Xiao Letian deliberately made a sad expression, "What do you think? If it weren't for the high cost, how could I not enjoy it? This is because I am visiting the UK and I plan to use these spices as gifts for the Queen. I just made a few kilograms specially..."
"I just spent half a million taels of silver like this, and it still hurts my body!"
The Duke of Newcastle was not calm at the time. "Five hundred thousand taels of silver? Only a few kilograms were produced? Is this more expensive than gold? Excuse me, does this spice have a name?"
"Yes, of course there is. It's called the source of freshness. This is the source of freshness on the earth!"
The Duke blinked his eyes, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He smiled and rubbed his hands and said, "Dear Yuan, I was lucky enough to taste China's extensive and profound food culture today, and I was also lucky enough to taste your family's secret recipe..."
"I don't know, are you interested in opening a Chinese restaurant in the UK? At this level, I think it won't take half a year for Chinese food to take over London's high-end food circles. This is a big business that is sure to make money." !”
