The queen said yes, then it was really good. No one dared to have any objections. Of course, except for those who deliberately seek trouble like Montauban, no one present could deny that the appearance of these appetizers was so beautiful.
The banquet organized by Xiao Letian is to conquer these big European noses in three aspects: color, fragrance and fragrance. It is not only for this state banquet, nor just to please the Queen. It is actually an excellent way to promote Chinese culture to the outside world. Chance.
If you want to conquer the hearts of European people, you must first conquer their stomachs! This is a very important link in the cultural invasion formulated by Xiao Letian.
In an era when Chinese food has not yet become a commodity brand, creating an image of top-end luxury dining from the beginning would be a great opportunity to make money, and at the same time, it can also boost Europeans' good impression of China.
The Duke of Newcastle couldn't stop smiling. The Queen's affirmation was a golden sign. At this moment, he could see pounds falling from the sky.
The appetizer is the first element among the three elements of color, flavor and taste of Chinese food, color!
High-quality food must look good. The knife skills of Chinese food are not necessarily inferior to Japanese food and French food. However, due to the vast land and rich resources, the richness of Chinese food has mixed high-end goods with low-end goods, which has lowered the overall quality of Chinese food.
We must learn from the experience and lessons of the past life. In this life, we must make Chinese food deeply imprinted with the word "high-end" as soon as it appears in Europe.
Therefore, the first test question is color. The appearance must conquer these foreign devils and make them willing to pay high prices for Chinese food. If this succeeds, then half of the promotion of Chinese food will be achieved.
After the queen has finished speaking, it means that the appetizer has been eaten to the end. At this time, no matter whether you still want to eat or not, or how much nostalgia you still have for the dishes, you have to put down the tableware, and the maids begin to remove the plates.
The dishes that test the appearance are finally gone, and now comes the main course. Crispy suckling pig, Shijia sauce recipe, Buddha jumping over the wall, sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks, secret braised fish, crab stuffed with orange... a total of twelve main dishes.
It is precisely because of Xiao Letian's improvement suggestions that the appearance of these dishes has been greatly changed, such as the crispy suckling pig. In China, the emphasis is on serving the whole suckling pig without any damage to the appearance.
But in Europe, Xiao Letian took into account the Western food culture, because Europeans do not eat the head and hooves, and some fastidious Europeans think that serving the whole pig will feel cruel.
So all the suckling pigs were cut into pieces, spliced together to form the words "Fu Shou", and stacked neatly in a large tray.
There is also the secret braised fish that Liu Dadao strongly reserves. He also abandons the rule of serving the whole fish and changes it to fish fillets, which is not only convenient to eat but also prevents the guests from seeing the dead fish.
Yes, European aristocrats are sometimes so pretentious and eat more than anyone else, but you can't put a psychological burden on them by pretending to be kind while eating. To put it bluntly, it means that they don't feel that they are eating animal carcasses. .
It's time to assemble the main course. At this moment, Liu Dadao and others are hiding behind the curtain, looking carefully through the gaps. This is a time to test their skills, and everyone's palms are sweaty.
They are still very confident in their cooking skills, but they don't know whether Europeans have the same taste as Asians. If they mess up, they will lose the reputation of their ancestors.
It is not just a matter of humiliation, it is also related to their future wealth. Xiao Letian has revealed the plan of the food empire to these people and promised that those chefs who stay in Europe will each have ten times the income at home.
In this era, the Chinese people's rural concept is too strong. If you don't have a high salary, you can't hire these famous chefs. They can already live a very good life at home. Why do they have to travel across the ocean to come to the land of foreign devils?
Ten times the salary was really impressive. They calculated that one year in Europe is equivalent to ten years in China. If they work hard, they can create a family fortune.
There was really no one who refused. All the famous chefs nodded, but Xiao Letian also had conditions. In this series of banquets in Europe, if anyone's skills are not good enough and Europeans don't like them, then they can only apologize. Where can I get the answer? Where to go.
Money moves people's hearts! All the famous chefs have come up with a full range of skills and put 120,000 degrees of care into every dish.
How could these European foreign devils understand the breadth and depth of Chinese cuisine? As soon as these famous dishes were taken into the mouth, everyone in the room was filled with exclamations of exclamation.
"Oh God! What kind of unique taste is this? How can it be so delicious?"
"You're lying to me. This can't be pork. How can a filthy creature like a pig taste so good?"
"What is this big orange? What's in it? Are you lying? Haven't I ever eaten crabs? How could crabs taste like this..."
Even the Queen was stunned because she had just eaten a piece of Shijia Sauce Recipe. When she saw the white fat under the chopsticks, she immediately regretted it. Who would have thought that there were fat and lean meat under the bright red sauce-colored meat? What about the meat combination?
Europeans like red meat, and they don’t like fat, so beef is considered top-grade here. Only the people at the bottom will choose pork with no choice. Who would have thought that Xiao Letian actually brought pork to the table.
Just when the Queen was hesitating, she heard a bang on the table next to her. It was the sound of a spoon being smashed on the table. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Montauban who was furious. He was pointing at the table full of food. Dishes are indignant.
"It's so rude! Dear Her Majesty the Queen, these Chinese are so rude. How can such vulgar dishes be served on the table?"
"Look, this black piece of meat is actually pork! God, this is food only enjoyed by the poorest people at the bottom. You all ate so deliciously just now, you have been fooled!"
"There is also a dish called secret braised fish. I know the habits of the Chinese people. This kind of fish is a spiny freshwater fish. You have to be careful, lest the spines get stuck in your throat..."
"Queen, for the sake of your health, please don't eat these dishes. The Chinese are harming you!"
"Haha! Crab-stuffed orange? I know what this is. There are ugly river crabs in it, right? That kind of scary little devil from hell, how can you eat it?"
"Don't be fooled. Although the Chinese have changed the appearance of the ingredients, they can't deceive people! These are the most vulgar foods. This is a humiliation to the British Empire!"
Montauban, who behaved in an exaggerated manner, looked like he was going to destroy everything. It seemed that his trip to China was not in vain, and he really talked about the details of these ingredients.
