Zheng Ke got off the bus and walked down the straight street with an elderly couple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
From the day of the vacation of Yuanyue Academy, Zheng Ke took a flight to Rome, and then went all the way north from Rome.
Along the way, Zheng Ke feasted on a variety of delicacies, and if he encountered a special favorite dish, he would even stop and study carefully.
Because the cooking notes kept reminding Zheng Ke of the things that needed to be improved, Zheng Ke was basically able to do it the second time, which also made those chefs secretly surprised. After experiencing Italian cuisine, known as the "mother of Western food", Zheng Ke entered the kingdom of food - France.
After a slight adjustment in Lyon, Zheng Ke continued to set off, and Zheng Ke's destination was, of course, Paris, a famous metropolis in Europe and even in the world.
"That...... Xiao Zheng, we're going to eat some food, would you like to have some lunch together?" The old couple behind them looked at the dazzling array of Western restaurants on both sides, and asked Zheng Ke on the other side.
The old couple is Japanese, Zheng Ke only knows that their surname is Tukata, they are very fond of food, and when they travel to France, they know some French and English, so in France, they have no problem with some daily communication.
Zheng Ke and they met in Dijon, and they talked to each other quite well. Especially along the way, Zheng Ke's point-to-point evaluation of French food has shortened the distance between the two sides.
"No, old man, my friend is coming to pick me up soon. Zheng Ke squinted his eyes and politely rejected Mr. Hijikata.
"Well, then, we'll be separated from each other, and it's been fun to be with you along the way. Mr. Hijikata nodded slightly, took his wife, and walked towards a nearby restaurant.
Zheng Ke took a general look, and the restaurant chosen by the earthworks couple should be an old restaurant for a certain period of time.
If it weren't for the agreement with Absolon, maybe he would have followed the two of them over and tasted Parisian cuisine.
Uh, by the way, when it comes to Absolon, where is the place he is talking about?
Zheng Ke held his mobile phone, looked at the email, and scratched his head.
The email said that Zheng Ke was to wait for him in front of a private museum, but there was no museum on this street at all? However, the map showed that this museum was nearby.
Zheng Ke circled around the neighborhood twice, but didn't find any museums at all, and was about to confirm with Absolon again when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
He hurriedly looked in the direction from which the voice came, but suddenly heard Mrs. Hijikata running over out of breath.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Zheng Ke hurriedly came to Mrs. Hijikata's side and looked at Mrs. Hijikata with a flushed face.
"Come with meβ" Mrs. Hijikata grabbed Zheng Ke's hand, and regardless of whether Zheng Ke agreed or not, she directly pulled Zheng Ke into the restaurant they had entered just now.
"Grandma, what's wrong?" Zheng Ke asked puzzled.
"You'll find out when you come here. Mrs. Hijikata didn't explain much, pulled Zheng Ke, and came to the restaurant they had just entered.
Inside the restaurant, most of the people put down their forks and looked at the place where the incident occurred.
"Get out of the way, I've brought in the experts. Mrs. Hijikata walked at the front and said to the crowd gathered outside.
What do you mean?
Just when Zheng Ke was puzzled, the outermost people also found him and Mrs. Hijikata and got out of the way. Zheng Ke saw through the gap that Mr. Hijikata was red-faced and red-eared, arguing fiercely with a chef.
What the hell is going on?
Zheng Ke looked at Mr. Hijikata with an excited expression with some puzzlement, in his impression, Mr. Hijikata was a gentle and elegant person who paid attention to etiquette, and he had never felt such a defeat like now.
"Are you here?" saw Zheng Ke coming, and his expression eased slightly.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Zheng Ke asked.
"They are shoddy, and they think we don't know, and let them explain, but they are confused, and they can't explain clearly. Hijikata pointed to the other chef's nose and said.
"Is there such a thing?" Zheng Ke looked at the chef of the restaurant in confusion.
The chef was blonde and wore a tall chef's hat, and he looked like the head chef of the house.
Zheng Ke glanced at the dishes on the table, Mr. Hijikata's dish was a puff pastry salmon, and the dish on the seat opposite him was French roast beef, which was a relatively common French cuisine.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chef, what's going on?" Zheng Ke said in very standard French.
"Talent...... Didn't you?" the chef didn't expect Zheng Ke to be so fluent in French, so he lost his mind, but quickly came to his senses again, "Our dishes use the best quality ingredients, and there is absolutely no such thing as shoddy." β
"Do you think I've never eaten Western food with local buns? These two dishes taste so awkward, you dare to say that they are not shoddy?"
"Uh...... I don't know where you've eaten before, but the quality of this dish is absolutely fine!" the chef assured all the passengers.
Zheng Ke also felt that something was wrong.
You know, Paris is not only a world-class big city, but also tourists from all over the world, so once any stain appears, it will spread around the world at an extremely exaggerated rate.
As local Parisian chefs, they must know this, so they can't do anything to kill the eggs and so, so the food should be fine. However, the old man Hijikata's emotions are not like he is deliberately making trouble.
"Grandpa Hijikata, if I can, can I taste a bite of the food?"
Since you can't find a loophole in logic, you can only try it yourself.
"Yes, you can try it and expose the ugly faces of these people. The old man said angrily.
"Hmm. Zheng Ke nodded, and under the gaze of everyone around, he cut a small piece of salmon and put it in his mouth.
The delicate salmon carries a fresh scent that reverberates in the mouth, and a delicious sensation flows from the taste buds everywhere. The aroma from fennel seeds, mixed with the rich butter, gives the whole dish a different flavor. Finally, with the puff pastry wrapped around the surface of the salmon, this dish really has its own unique twist.
"This dish is not shoddy in terms of ingredients, and it is indeed very high-quality salmon. Zheng Ke put down the fork and said in French.
"Huh?"
The earthworks couple were dumbfounded, they didn't expect that Zheng Ke, who got along with them very well all the way, unexpectedly supported each other.
"Xiao Zheng, are you sure you're right?"
He knew that Zheng Ke had no contact with the chef of this restaurant, but he really couldn't accept this result.
"Yes, no matter how I put it, I can be considered a chef, and I still have the ability to judge ingredients. Zheng Ke explained.
After all, our store has a history of nearly 100 years, and it is impossible to use that kind of ingredients without quality assurance. The chef patted his chest and said.
Hearing the chef's answer, the faces of the Hijikata couple turned gloomy.
