After discussing with Oliver, the head of Xia Yuxiang ordered, and the chef and the waiter served the dishes one after another, filling the table, each dish has its own uniqueness, the most essential elements of food are nature and art, and Italian cuisine has both.

Oliver smiled and talked and laughed as he served food for everyone.

"I know that you Chinese like to talk while eating, when I went to study in China, my classmates were like this, at the dinner table, there are a lot of words, everyone is easy to be cordial, what you can't usually say, can be said at the dinner table." ”

"Hahaha!" Xia Yuxiang, the head of the group, smiled, "We have a dinner table culture in China, everyone sits together to eat, relax, be in a good mood, sit together and talk, drink some wine, happy, Oliver will introduce it to everyone, this table is full of food, colorful, and it looks very beautiful." ”

Oliver smiled, "Yes, Italian cuisine is still very particular, the rich style of the Apennine Peninsula gives Italian cuisine a natural charm, the cultural heritage that transcends time and space, and makes Italian cuisine rich in artistic inspiration." ”

"Everyone knows that Italy was influenced by the Renaissance, not only the architecture, the furniture, the interiors, the tableware, but also the food, and the influence of the Renaissance was holistic, but with modern fashion. ”

"The cuisine is still differentiated according to the region, different places, different eating habits, different gastronomic characteristics, the climate and geographical situation of the north and south of the Italian peninsula are very different, so in terms of cooking characteristics, the two places have their own advantages. ”

"The proximity to France to the north, under French influence, is to add dairy products to the dishes, which are rich in flavor and simple in seasoning. ”

"In the south, there is a lot of ketchup, dried tomatoes, peppers and olive oil, which is richer and more intense, but the common denominator is that Italian cuisine is very delicate and unique in both the north and the south. ”

"And Italian chefs are also more famous, many Western restaurants hire Italian chefs with high salaries to cook, and chefs with superb cooking skills earn a considerable income, so if many students can't get into college, it is also a very good choice to learn to be a chef and learn a skill. ”

Qu Lihua jokingly asked Meng Wenjie: "Brother Meng, are you willing to learn to cook?"

Meng Wenjie shrugged his shoulders, "The profession of chef is not easy, even if the western restaurant can give the chef a high salary, this job is not easy, come to work, every day in the kitchen at a high temperature, when it is hot, the kitchen is very hot, even if there is an exhaust fan, oil smoke, high temperature, the chef cooks is also hard work, if the guests are not satisfied, and complain at every turn, the head chef has to take the chef out to apologize." ”

"If you meet a reasonable customer, the big thing is small, and the small thing is nothing, forget it, I'm afraid that I will meet those who are not easy to mess with, then it will be troublesome!"

"Yes, interlaced is like a mountain, every industry is the suffering of every industry, we don't do chef work and don't understand the hard work of their profession!" Xia Yuxiang sighed.

"Oliver, who in your family cooks?"

"My dad goes to the company every day to be busy, and the management company is laborious, and he is already very tired when he comes home, or my mother cooks more!"

"We Italians love seafood!"

When it comes to seafood, Qu Lihua is happy, "We Chinese young people also like to eat seafood!"

Oliver smiled and slowly introduced, "In the Italian recipe, the status of seafood is very important, in terms of eating, more use barbecue, steaming or boiling and a series of cooking methods that can maintain the original flavor of the ingredients to a large extent, and only put a little salt and a small amount of pepper when seasoning, too much seasoning will cover up the freshness of seafood from the sea, or retain the original flavor of seafood." ”

"Italy's seafood is really delicious, because Italy is close to the sea, fishermen are very convenient to catch seafood ingredients, they all say that they rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the water to eat water, what resources there are, use them as much as possible, so Italy's seafood is also very famous, the ingredients are also fresh, you can eat with confidence, don't worry about eating bad stomach, diarrhea or something. ”

The chef brought up the Italian prawns, which were very large, and Qu Lihua took one, which was really delicious, fried in oil, and very crispy and delicious.

There are many varieties of Italian cuisine, with at least four to five main courses, which are served in order, and can be divided into cold and hot dishes.

Cold cuts include black caviar and salmon roe, sardines and fish in siu sauce, fish in vinegar sauce, cold dishes such as crab or shrimp, pork in sauce, tongue with walnuts, ham, boiled or fried chicken, olive, and mushrooms.

Hot dishes are mostly pan-fried, deep-fried dishes, and fried squid, while the first plate can be plattered, that is, a combination with fewer portions but more choices.

Qu Lihua tasted the first few dishes, and felt that the taste was quite strong, the Italian ingredients tasted heavier, spicy and fresh, she drank hot tea, so that her tongue was a little more comfortable, it seems that she is not Italian, or she is not used to local food.

Oliver smiled, "Miss Qu, you don't often eat Italian food in China, do you?"

"Yes, I still eat more Chinese food, the quantity of Western food is small, the price is much more expensive, not very affordable, I still like to eat Chinese food. ”

"Haha, then we are going to try it in Italy, just care about eating, I forgot to explain to you the order and attention of the dishes, there is really a lot of knowledge in this, I will introduce it to you now. ”

The first course is followed by the first course, which is usually served with soup, pasta or risotto, and since there is still the main course after that, the portion will be smaller.

"Miss Qu is right, there is more Chinese food, but the number of Western food is really small, and when I go to study in China, I also like to eat Chinese food. ”

"There is another dish that is worth recommending, wild mushroom stew from northern Italy, fresh wild mushrooms have the ability to turn water into chicken soup, and it is especially suitable for stewed soups, the taste is quite delicious and sweet. ”

"The second course is also the main course, which is mainly seafood or meat, which is grilled or fried and served with a little salt or olive oil. ”

"In fact, Western food is not as particular as Chinese food, when I went to study in China, I also saw Chinese chefs carve a lot of patterns with turnips, that is simply amazing, I still remember it vividly, I admire it very much, Chinese chefs are really very patient, changed Western chefs, there is not so much time and effort to carve radishes with a knife little by little. ”

"Western food, a large piece of steak is too lazy to cut, after cooking, let the customer use a knife and fork to cut into small pieces to eat, the chef saves a lot of trouble, this is the difference between the East and the West, Chinese food is finely done, Western food is just convenient and practical, you can eat it, you don't need to be finely crafted, anyway, eat it into the stomach, it is also digested!"

"Hahaha......" everyone laughed.
