Chapter 74: Farewell
The foreigner put the plate he was holding on the table, and inside the plate was a piece of beef. It is beef instead of the steak that is common in Western food, and this piece of beef is about the same size as a Chinese elbow.
"Hello, I'm a French chef, Raymond Rupert. He first introduced himself, and then explained to Ye Kai, "I am recording a French food documentary, and I came to Rongcheng to exchange cooking skills with Chef Zhang. ”
Rupert pointed to the dish he had put down and said, "I got inspiration from the fairy duck and created this new red wine beef stew that I want you to taste." ”
You can eat the dishes made by French chefs for free, which is not a lot of opportunities in Chengdu. And a chef who can come out to record a show should not be an unknown junior.
"I'd love to, but why did you choose us?" Ye Kai said.
"Handsome guys and beauties are eye-catching anywhere," he shrugged his shoulders and added, "Besides, this beauty is still a Westerner, and this is a cultural exchange between China and the West, so it is the best place for you to participate." ”
Saoirse laughed and said, "Then I'll go." ”
You can't use chopsticks Saoirse, but you are absolutely skilled with a knife and fork. Hold the beef in place with a fork, and a slight stroke of the knife brings out a piece of beef.
Ye Kai also picked up the fork and gently pressed it on the beef, the tender beef cattle was pressed down a groove, and the sauce was squeezed out of the beef.
"It's very tender. Ye Kai said.
The camera has been giving close-ups of the beef, and to be honest, the dish is really beautiful and not lost to the fairy duck before it was eaten.
Ye Kai also slashed, took a small piece of beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it gently.
The beef is tender, and when you bite into it, you will have a springy texture, and the sauce will overflow, and the rich flavor will greatly give the food more layers of texture.
"Chinese sauce, with a lot of red wine. Ye Kai thought about it and tasted it again.
"How?" Rupert asked.
Ye Kai nodded, and the camera immediately focused on Ye Kai.
"The sauce and the beef are blended together, so the beef should be steamed and then boiled? The sauce is steamed with a small amount of lemon and honey, and then it is simmered in red wine for more than half an hour using the traditional technique of Western cuisine. ”
Rupert looked back at Chef Zhang, then at Ye Kai's face, and then at Chef Zhang.
Are you sure you're not a Chinese gourmet?
He applauded Ye Kai and was surprised: "Amazing, it's all right, how do you know my cooking process?"
"It's simple. Ye Kai cut a slice of beef with a knife and explained, "Because the flavors of honey and lemon are integrated into this dish, it must have been steamed with beef at the earliest time." ”
"The mismatch between Chinese sauce and red wine is completely overshadowed by the taste of honey and lemon ....... ”
Saoirse was about to blurt out the delicious food before, but Ye Kai held back.
When did you know how to eat so well?
Anyone who gets a taste that has doubled or tripled will taste the various flavors in a dish like Ye Kai. What tastes light, what tastes fresh.
The seasoning of any food is layered, so Ye Kai can taste the practice of food from the layers and taste.
If he doubles his talent, maybe Ye Kai will be able to taste the ingredients used at each level from the layer, such as how much salt and how much pepper is used.
Not to mention Rupert, even Zhang Dajun, the head chef of Longquan Restaurant, was dumbfounded, didn't you really go to peek at our production process?
Rupert got serious, and he asked, "What is your profession?"
"My name is Ye Kai, and I am a travel photographer by profession. ”
Regardless of whether he makes money from photography or not, Ye Kai thinks that he is a photographer, this profession is full of qualifications, and his travelogue has been published, and no one will object to saying that he is a travel photographer.
"You're a photographer, I'm a Michelin-starred chef in France and I run a restaurant in Burgundy, France. I hope you will come to visit my restaurant in the future. ”
After the two exchanged contact information, they also went to the next process because they were filming the show.
Saoirse stared at the beef on the table and said to Ye Kai: "My dear, how much do you say in a Michelin restaurant, how much does such a dish cost?"
Ye Kai put away Rupert's contact information and said, "I think, why can I get 800 yuan?"
This dish does not look very cheap in terms of raw materials or ingredients, and the chef of a Michelin-starred restaurant may have to increase the price.
A total of 1420 was spent at the time of checkout, and the beef stew with red wine was free.
Both of them were very full, and they went out to call a Didi car, and the destination was a park near their home. There is a large pond in this park.
There are a lot of carp in the pond, and the management of this pond requires a security guard to keep watch here, otherwise someone will catch one from time to time and go back to make a vegetable sacrifice.
Ye Kai bought some fish food at the supermarket next to him and handed it to Saoirse.
"Just sprinkle it on the water. ”
The fish food floated on the surface of the water, and soon, a large school of carp swarmed and rushed for food.
"That's a lot of fish. ”
Saoirse said, waving her hand a few times in quick succession, draining the fish food.
....................................
In fact, there are only a few interesting places in Rongcheng, and you can visit them in a few days, so after going to the Giant Panda Research and Conservation Center to see the giant pandas, Ye Kai and the others went to the crew of Xianjian.
Ye Kai doesn't know how to make movies, the most taboo thing in any industry is for the layman to command the insider, and they left after playing in the crew for two days.
The main thing is that the world where Saoirse stayed in China is coming to an end.
If you want to get a long-term visa, the easiest way is for Saoirse to marry Ye Kai directly, but Saoirse is very resolute about getting married.
So if you want to meet more, Ye Kai still has to think about how to get a multi-country visa-free certificate.
It's almost Christmas, the temperature in Huaxia is even lower, and both of them are wearing thick clothes, and Ye Kai wants to send Saoirse to Hong Kong Island to take the plane back to Ireland.
"I don't need you to send it. ”
Saoirse walked in front, her expression helpless, she took two steps and turned back to Ye Kai and said, "Am I in kindergarten, Daddy? Why don't you send me to Ireland directly?"
Ye Kaimo rubbed his chin and groaned, "It's not impossible. ”
"Please. ”
Saoirse covered her forehead, this man is good anywhere, but sometimes he is too brainless. Others send the plane to the airport at most, but he is better to send it to the airport where the transfer is made.
Want to have it delivered directly to your home?
Saoirse sulked, but Ye Kai laughed and said, "I lied to you, I won't send you home, I have other things to do on Hong Kong Island." ”
