Chapter 674: Delicious Food (Part I)

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, our restaurant is temporarily closed today, if you have a reservation, we will help you move it to the evening or tomorrow, I'm very sorry. According to the address on the business card, he went to Gordon's restaurant, but everyone was turned away by the attendant at the door.

"Isn't it??Dog, are you going to use this method to humiliate us?" Lin Xiao immediately became angry.

"This way is very low-level, and it also seems that I am very small-minded, which should not be. Liu Mang took out the business card given to him by Gordon from his pocket and handed it to the attendant standing at the door: "Mr. Gordon invited us here, if he is here, please tell him, okay?"

“c'est quoi?” Liu Mang spoke in Chinese, and the attendant pinched the business card and couldn't understand it at all.

"I'll do it anyway. Lin Xiao stepped forward and muttered to the attendant in French.

After Lin Xiao finished speaking, the attendant took the business card, opened the door and ran inside.

"What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, just said that we were guests that Goudan had invited after a long time, and that Goudan would be very angry if we left. Lin Xiao shrugged and replied.

After waiting for less than a minute, Gordon hurried out with David.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Liu Mang. My staff didn't know it was you. Gordon Ramsay apologized in a respectful manner.

"It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty. ”

"This is my assistant and the head chef of this French restaurant, David Grace. And this one is the kitchen god from China, Mr. Liu Mang. He is also the guest I have to feast today. ”

"Welcome, Chinese friends. David was stunned for a moment, then immediately stretched out his hand.

"Hello. ”

When shaking hands with Liu Mang, David Grace looked calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already turbulent. Who is this young man? Could it be that he has a higher status in Gordon's heart than the French culinary god Paul Bocuse? Why else would Gordon Ramsay, who has always been high, go out of his way to feast?

Walking into the restaurant, everyone looked around and found that there was not a single customer in the restaurant except for the staff.

"Mr. David, is your restaurant only for dinner?" Liu Mang couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not. We do breakfast, lunch and dinner in our restaurant. ”

"Then why is it noon and there isn't a single guest in the restaurant?"

"That's right, in order to welcome you, our chef specially asked me to suspend the restaurant for one day today. David glanced at Gordon Ramsay, who was walking next to him, and replied.

"What's so embarrassing about that? Mr. Gordon. ”

"Uh...... It should be, it should be. Gordon Ramsay secretly gave David a thumbs up, realizing that he was doing the right thing.

Everyone sat down in a window seat in the dining room, and the waiter immediately served the order.

"No, I don't. Gordon Ramsay waved his hand: "Today I have prepared a separate meal for you. Mr. Liu Mang doesn't mind, right?"

"Of course I don't mind, it's up to you. We eat whatever Mr. Gordon does. Liu Mang said with a smile.

"Alright, everyone, please wait for me, I'll go to the kitchen and start cooking. ”

"Why am I still a little looking forward to today's dish from Goudan?" said Lin Xiao after Gordon left.

"Do you want to see him slapped in the face by me, or do you want him to slap me in the face?" Liu Mang pouted.

"I want both. Lin Xiao laughed.

After chatting for a while, and waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Gordon Ramsay's first dish was served on a plate with a golden lid and served by the waiter.

"According to Western food tradition, the first course should be an appetizer, or a salad. Lin Xiao guessed.

But when the attendant lifted the lid on the plate, Lin Xiao was stunned: "No, is there a mistake?

Fish is often used as a main dish in Western cuisine, such as 'pan-fried cod steak with lemon flavor' and 'salmon with red wine sauce'......

This time, the fish is the size of a cup, golden in color, soaked in a burgundy sauce, and garnished with bright red cherries and emerald green basil leaves.

"It's fish, but it looks pretty good. Lin Xiao took a sip of the white wine poured by the attendant, picked up the knife and fork, cut the fish pieces in half, forked one of them and put it into his mouth.

The nugget is cod, a fish most commonly used in Western cuisine. The meat of cod is very tender, but it has no taste, so it is generally fried or braised in Chinese cooking, and it is rarely grilled.

Gordon Ramsay's cod fillet is grilled and has a smoky flavor that is palpable in the mouth, with a subtle nutty aroma that grows richer and richer as you chew it.

The taste of the dish is sour, probably because of the addition of lemon juice, but this acid stimulates the taste glands under the human tongue and allows a large amount of saliva to be secreted.

"Brother Lin, how does it taste?" Liu Mang tasted a piece and stopped and asked.

"It tastes good!, but I feel that the lemon juice is a little too much, and it doesn't highlight the umami of the fish, which is a bit noisy. ”

"Well, I think so too. Liu Mang licked his lips: "I don't know much about Western food, I can only judge it by personal taste." If even you, who are used to eating Western food, feel that it is sour, there are only two possibilities. Either Gordon Ramsay made a mistake or he did it on purpose. ”

"Deliberately, why?" Lin Xiao said in surprise.

"It's very simple, do you remember the 'fish head tofu soup' and 'charcoal-grilled lamb skewers' we made at the Chef God Conference?"

"Do you mean 'the taste of Japanese soup'?" Lin Xiao thought for a while, and immediately shook his head: "No, Gordon Ramsay is learning Western food, and now it's just a dish, what do you want to eat?"

"Food knows no borders and genres, and in the end, it will all go its own way, and there must be something special about Gordon Ramsay being so admired by the Western dining world. Although there is no dish to match now, there is a dish for the next one. ”

"You mean, this dish is too sour, so it caters to the next dish?" Lin Xiao immediately understood.

"If I'm right, the next soup must be hot and delicious. ”

"Okay, we'll see. He Donglin and Shan Jian laughed.

After everyone finished tasting this appetizer made of cod, the waiter brought a few Western-style soup cups and brought them to everyone.

"Begin to unravel the mystery. Lin Xiao couldn't wait to look into the soup cup, and couldn't help but sigh: "I really let Lao Liu guess correctly! But is there also Chinese clear soup in Western food? This is too rare." ”

The soup in the soup cup is a pale yellow color, and the soup color is crystal clear, only some arigenu crumbs float on the surface of the soup, which is very elegant.

Compared with the usual thick soups that are as viscous as porridge in Western cuisine, Gordon Ramsay's current soup can be said to be very different.
