Chapter 730 Four Great Cuisines
Powell ran back to the hotel, pushed the door and came in with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry everyone, there was a car accident on the road, there was a bit of a traffic jam, I'm going to cook." Updates are fast and ad-freeγγγγγγ β
As a result, he was speechless by what was happening in front of him, and the customers in the store were all leaning on the back of their chairs with their stomachs clutched, even Judy. Only Xiao Peng stood aside and looked at Powell with a smile on his face.
Seeing Powell coming, Judy hurriedly stood up from her chair: "Store manager, it's great that you're back." β
When Powell saw this, he was taken aback: "What happened just now?" This posture is not food poisoning, right? If there is really a food problem, then Powell's road as store manager will come to an end.
There is a certain difference between the concept of 'food safety' in the minds of Huaxia and Mi countries, and in China, when it comes to food safety, it is likely that something that is prohibited from being added to the food, or something that should be added in limited quantities is added excessively, which endangers human health, which obviously belongs to the scope of the law. The food safety problems in the United States are often technical problems.
The United States has one of the most complete food safety regulatory systems in the world. A strict supervision system, a recall system and a punitive damages system are the three sharp blades to maintain food safety in the United States. The most important food regulation law in the country was passed in 1938, and this law is still in use today, and it is the basis for subsequent laws and regulations.
On the contrary, according to the statistics of the Center for Disease Control in the United States, 1/6 of the people in the country suffer from food poisoning every year, with a total of about 48 million people! About 130,000 people are hospitalized every year because of food problems, and 3,000 people die because of this cause.
However, the main reason for the occurrence of food poisoning in the United States is related to the eating habits of the United States: they like to eat raw food, and eat a lot of ready-made food, such as vegetable salad, such as beef, etc.
And although from a legal point of view, the supervision of rice is much more powerful than that of Huaxia, but the regulatory indicators are much lower than that of Huaxia, and many Chinese people seem to be absolutely harmful things, which are legal in United States, and there are even normal additives that are added in unlimited quantities, such as Monsanto has researched a growth hormone, which can be added in broiler beef and chicken without restrictions, which is claimed to be absolutely safe, what hormone is absolutely safe?
There are also clenbuterol, melamine and other harmful additives that make Chinese people smell and discolor, the addition of such additives in the United States is protected by relevant laws, in the United States, the use of clenbuterol is legal, mad cow disease is forbidden to detect, and hormone use is rampant, there is no one in the world.
These legal protections also lead to shoddy food in the United States, such as the addition of grape pulp to honey to reduce costs, and the adulteration of other oils to pass off olive oil, which is called 'reasonable addition' in the United States. In short, the United States is not a country that does not abide by the law, but a place where you directly use the law to infringe on your rights and interests.
But if it is really certain that there is a food safety incident in the United States because of the merchant's own problems, then the merchant will be directly unlucky. All kinds of rectifications, all kinds of fines, all kinds of investigations, until it is completely impossible to do it. So when Powell saw the situation in front of him, he was first shocked.
Judy held a large bag of fish and chips and stuffed it to Powell: "Store manager, we really can't eat it, these are all for you." Xiao Ke said, no one is allowed to leave if he can't finish eating. β
Powell took the fish and chips handed to him by Judy with questions, took a bite: "Wow", and then he couldn't stop at all, and when he came back to his senses, he also leaned back in the chair, holding his stomach, unable to move.
He finally understood why everyone was like this as soon as he entered the house, it turned out that he was holding on.
Xiao Peng looked at the uncomfortable appearance of the crowd, and was so happy: "How long have you not eaten?
Powell sighed: "Xiao, this is your craft? Listening to Powell's words, the people in the restaurant nodded together.
Xiao Peng smiled: "If it's delicious, you can eat more." β
"Well, it can't be stopped. "Huh, why are you familiar with Shiro?
Emilia stood up and moved her limbs: "Xiao Peng, I'll go back and continue painting." β
Xiao Peng stopped her: "Go back to the room when you are full, go out for a walk with me, the scenery outside here is also good, don't stay in the room all day." β
Listening to Xiao Peng's words, Emilia nodded, followed behind Xiao Peng, and the two walked on the beach together, Emilia smiled: "Xiao, you originally said that your cooking is delicious, I still don't believe it, today I am completely convinced, it is really delicious." β
Xiao Peng said with a smile: "What I'm good at is making Chinese food, but Chinese food is cumbersome to make, not suitable for today's situation, making fish and chips is fast and trouble-free." That's what I chose. β
After hearing this, Emilia let go and said, "Then when will you cook me a Chinese dish in the future?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "You can't get used to eating authentic Chinese cuisine, it's not those rice-style Chinese dishes sold in Chinese restaurants here in the United States." β
Emilia wondered, "Why are you so sure I'm not used to eating Chinese food?"
Xiao Peng shrugged: "Actually, it's not right for me to say that, there is always a Chinese cuisine that you will like to eat." Let me just say that, in the 5,000-year history of China, our ancestors have never stopped until now, that is, the pursuit of food. After so many years of development, there are four major cuisines, eight major cuisines, and ten major cuisines in China, and the classification of categories still continues to increase. β
Emilia exclaimed: "There are so many Chinese dishes? In the United States, everything is eaten in one way: fried." What's the difference between these cuisines you're talking about? Can you Chinese people tell the difference?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "I said that you are so black, is the food of your own country good? Of course, we Chinese people can distinguish our own food." Let's take the four major cuisines as an example, which refers to the four major cuisines of Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong and Huai. Because these four places have different local flavors due to different geography, climate, customs, and specialties. β
Emilia thought for a while: "Okay, there is actually a taste gap here in our country, and the style of roast chicken in Orleans is different from other places, but although the taste is different, roast chicken is roast chicken everywhere it goes." Is that the same true for you Huaxia?"
Xiao Peng shook his head: "Of course not, for example, Sichuan cuisine, his characteristics are spicy, fishy, homely, strange, sour and spicy, sesame pepper, vinegar pepper as the main characteristics, that is because Sichuan is relatively humid, Sichuan cuisine makes good use of spicy, because this can get rid of local moisture." β
Emilia was puzzled: "Isn't spicy just putting chili peppers? What's so complicated about this? Other cuisines should be fine, right?"
"Of course, other cuisines also use chili peppers, but no cuisine is as particular as Sichuan cuisine uses chili peppers. Xiao Peng crossed his fingers and said: "Let's just talk about chili peppers, Sichuan cuisine uses chili powder, chili oil, chili sauce, slag chili, dried chili, pickled chili, glutinous chili peppers, etc., the chili pepper and other condiments can be made into red oil flavor, spicy flavor, sour and hot taste, paste spicy taste, tangerine peel flavor, fish fragrance, strange taste, home-style taste, lychee flavor, sauce fragrance, etc., etc., Sichuan cuisine is definitely the world's first spicy degree of fineness. β
Amilia's eyes widened: "Are you so particular about eating a chili pepper?
Xiao Peng shook his finger: "This is just Sichuan cuisine in Chinese cuisine, as well as Cantonese cuisine, characterized by a wide selection of materials, in our Huaxia there is a saying, called eating in Guangdong, in Cantonese cuisine, there are no ingredients that cannot be eaten, only ingredients that have not yet found the right way to eat." Cantonese cuisine is characterized by freshness, tenderness, coolness, smoothness and thickness. β
Emilia listened to it with a yearning expression: "Fresh, tender, refreshing, smooth, tender? β
Xiao Peng nodded: "As long as you can avoid certain ingredients of Cantonese cuisine, Cantonese cuisine is indeed a very good cuisine." β
"Some ingredients, like?" Emilia wondered.
Xiao Peng smiled and said with a wicked smile: "For example, cats, snakes, newborn mice, and so onγγγγγγ β
Emilia looked horrified after hearing this, Xiao Peng smiled: "Actually, it's not so terrible, when it comes to Cantonese cuisine, people will first think of those heavy ingredients, in fact, not all Cantonese cuisine is like this." Cantonese dishes such as stir-fried fresh milk, crispy suckling pig, Teochew abalone wings, oyster sauce beef tenderloin, winter melon cup, and Wenchang chicken are all very delicious. β
After listening to Xiao Peng's introduction, Emilia looked yearning again: "What else?"
"Well, there is also Lu cuisine, which belongs to the northern cuisine, Sichuan cuisine makes good use of chili peppers, and Lu cuisine makes good use of green onions and ginger. Lu cuisine pays attention to the purity of seasoning, and pays great attention to the preparation of clear soup and milk soup. There are more than 30 kinds of cooking techniques commonly used in Shandong cuisine, especially the unique and specialized techniques of stir-frying and grilling. The explosion method pays attention to the rapid fire and quick frying, the chop method is the original Lu cuisine, the raw materials are marinated and sticky powder, and the yellow side is fried on both sides of the slow heat to collect the juice, in fact, I just made the fried fish and chips in the frying technology, which is to borrow some techniques from the chop method in Lu cuisine. Xiao Peng introduced.
"But if you want to talk about it, the most detailed thing is Huaiyang cuisine, which is Jiangsu cuisine. The characteristics of Huaiyang cuisine are that they are different from each other, thick but not greasy, fresh in taste, and also pay attention to shape, and make good Huaiyang cuisine, which can be called a work of art!" Xiao Peng walked on the beach, lightly introducing the four major cuisines, but suddenly he couldn't hear Emilia's movements.
Xiao Peng looked back and saw that Emilia was wiping her saliva: "Xiao Peng, when are you going to cook these dishes you said?" β
Xiao Peng: "This γγγγγγ If you want to make Chinese cuisine well, all kinds of seasonings are very important. Let's wait until the seasoning is ready. β
Emilia was just about to say something, when she suddenly pointed in the direction of the sea with a frightened face: "Oh my God! Xiao Peng, what is that?"
