"Captain Xia, I'm also a young man, and I love to play, haha!" Oliver took over the topic.

"When I was a student before, I liked to be a backpacker, I went to visit a lot of attractions by myself, I didn't like to follow a group, I used the Internet to check the travel guide, it was very popular at that time, when I was a student, it was really very stressful, especially during the summer and winter vacations, when I went to study in China, I also liked to travel by myself. ”

"I have been to many cities in China, I have seen a lot of scenery, I have lived in many places along the road, sometimes there are no hotels, I stay in the homes of local people, I meet Chinese very friendly to me, at that time my Chinese was not very good, I mixed English and gestures, and communicated with the locals, the locals are very smart, and quickly guessed what I meant. ”

"I've been to a lot of places and encountered a lot of interesting things, so I'll tell you about it later. ”

"There is a distance from the airport to Rome city, if you are tired, you can take a nap in the car, and then I take you to the hotel that you have booked, put down your luggage, and it is not good to visit around with your luggage, and then take you to have a light meal first, come to Italy to have a Western food, what do you want to eat?"

Qu Lihua said: "The first thing that comes to my mind is pizza!"

Meng Wenjie smiled, "Me too, except for pizza, we really don't know much about Italian food!"

Captain Xia Yuxiang smiled, "I've been to Italy a few times, in fact, in addition to pizza, there are many delicious dishes, this time I want Oliver to take us to taste it!"

Oliver also smiled, "Okay, there are a lot of Italian cuisine, Italian cuisine is very rich, thousands of dishes, Italian cuisine originated from the ancient Roman Empire, with a strong Renaissance Florentine dining charm, known as the mother of continental European cuisine, enjoys a high reputation in the world, come to Italy is a blessing!"

When the bus stopped, everyone got off the bus and followed Oliver.

Oliver arranged the hotel, and took everyone to the restaurant to eat, the restaurant was clean and bright, the waitress came over with a plate, smiled and said hello, and then asked Xia Yuxiang to order.

Head Xia Yuxiang took the menu and saw that there were still a lot of Italian dishes, and he asked Oliver to introduce the characteristics of Italian cuisine.

Oliver called the chef and asked the chef to explain to everyone in person, the chef was a middle-aged Italian uncle, wearing a white chef's uniform and a tall chef's hat, a chubby middle-aged uncle, looking amiable.

He coughed lightly a few times and began to introduce, "Italian cuisine is mostly made with seafood as the main ingredient, supplemented by beef, sheep, pig, fish, chicken, duck, tomato, cucumber, radish, green pepper, kohlrabi, and chives. ”

"The preparation method is commonly used to fry, fry, fry, boil, red stew or red stew, like to add minced garlic and dried chili, slightly spicy, the heat is generally six or seven ripe, the practice is actually similar to Chinese food, these Chinese diners are well known, I will not expand. ”

"Chefs will pay attention to taste and color, dishes pay attention to color, flavor and flavor, if there is no one, if the color is not good-looking, there is no appetite, customers do not want to eat, if the taste is not good, the bite can not move, or too hard, it is not good, after the customer ordered, the next time will not order again. ”

"There will be fewer repeat customers, in fact, we still have to pay attention to a lot of repeat customers, some of them are our regular customers here, because they like to eat, so they often come, and business is prosperous!"

"The essence of exquisiteness lies in the beauty of being slightly hard and elastic, not too thin, not too bad, that affects the vision, not beautiful, not good-looking, not good-looking, unpalatable, in order to make it delicious, the chef has to use a lot of brains and spend a lot of effort, so every line is not easy, you need to work hard. ”

"Listen to the names of these dishes, there are enough of them, there are so many ingredients, and there are so many ways to cook them, so the more extensive the menu. ”

"These are all big dishes, restaurants will have their own main dishes, this is a specialty, but also a signature dish, Italian noodles, crepes, rice, sausages are also very famous, I believe everyone has heard of Italian noodles, also called spaghetti, the reputation is very good, almost every Italian restaurant has it, diners often order this dish. ”

"Italian pizza, as we often call it, is made by dipping the dough in oil on a pizza plate with a variety of fillings, pork, beef, ham, cucumber, eggplant, onion baked dough, with a cool tomato sauce to enhance the flavor, and topped with shredded olives and diced eggs. ”

"Pizza can be seen in many fast food restaurants, which has become a fashion for young people, and with the successful advertising operation, young people have accepted the concept that eating pizza is very fashionable. ”

Qu Lihua nodded, "Yes, there are a lot of young people who order pizza in our business building, they like to eat, and it is very convenient to eat with their hands, it is really delicious, convenient and trouble-free, but the price is not cheap, generally medium price." ”

"And Italian rice is also very delicious, I also recommend everyone to try it, very delicious, different from Chinese white rice, Italian rice has added a lot of ingredients, diced onion, butter and rice stir-fried together, while stir-frying with wine to make it dry and flavorful, or with peas, greens, broth and rice stewed, really very delicious, fragrant and glutinous, delicious. ”
