Chapter 1564: Delicious Food

This is the normal table of the chef, the so-called delicious, one is that the food itself is delicious, and the other is to match the appropriate cooking means to make the food more delicious, this is the chef's job, and it is also what Bai Lu is doing now.

It's just that the former table is too amazing, and it makes people have a sense of anticipation. For example, in Japan, he breaded dumplings in front of the camera, and his hands were really flying, and the people who watched were dazzled.

Of course, this is an exaggeration, but at that time, Bailu was on the stove, and 18 stoves were fired at the same time, serving more than 1,000 guests, but it was just as easy, that was the real skill, and it was the picture that the guests wanted to see at this time.

And today, one is that there are few guests, and the other is that the time is long, and it should be more cowhide, how can you cook a little bit according to the order?

I can't say disappointed, I can only say that I have been looking forward to it in my heart, looking forward to the most perfect table of Bailu, the banquet is not over, and I am looking forward to it.

Now, the guests are still eating the first course, accompanied by a milky white wine, and the taste is indescribable.

How to say this, a green vegetable, but tender and fragrant, with a small sip of wine, I feel that my mouth is full of fragrance.

It's a direct feeling that you can experience right away without asking anyone.

In a slightly better Western restaurant, it always takes two to three hours to eat a meal, and one dish after another is served according to the process, which is a complete set of Western food etiquette, so that customers are worth the money they spend, and they come here to enjoy. Therefore, there is a time gap between each dish, and it cannot be served when it is ready, just like Chinese food.

Therefore, although it is only a small square plate of green vegetables, although they are all small and small, foreigners eat very slowly, especially those experts, chefs, and gourmets related to food. It's all about savoring it with your eyes closed, but it's also enjoying it slowly.

They eat vegetables in small bites, and they should first take a small section of tender beans and put it on the plate in front of them, then separate them with a knife, and use a fork to take a small part of it and put it in their mouths.

These guys make eating a ritual. Or rather, the process of showing elegance. Not only do they do this, but even those supermodels do the same, they don't talk and savor the food.

At this moment of eating, everyone is silent and is tasting. Wait for the food to go down, and then whisper a few words of praise to the guests around you, which is also to communicate your feelings. Look at that stance, it doesn't look like eating. It's like appreciating a work of art.

While they were eating, Bai Lu on the big screen was making fish soup.

The five soup buckets, which are particularly clean and large, are the kind that are common in Western food, and the heat is emitted from the open mouth, and Bai Lu walks in front of each bucket with a stern expression, occasionally stirring it with a soup spoon.

Despite the camera's tracking, no one knew what ingredients and ingredients Bai Lu had added, or even what soup was being made.

screen. Chef Bai is very strict, and he is really a bit of a panache.

A single hero at the kitchen door is placing a soup bowl.

Western food uses soup plates. It's a slightly darker dish, filled with soup, and drunk with a spoon. You have to drink silently, only then can you be considered qualified, you can be regarded as a person who can eat Western food, and you can be regarded as a person who understands dining etiquette.

The white road is replaced with a shallow bowl with light green fine lines. Some bowls feel like they are wide and shallow, and they are no more than four centimeters high. It is said that this kind of bowl has a bit of a quaint feeling, but with light green fine lines, it is actually more spiritual.

Cooking soup is a time-consuming task. Therefore, the white road is to check the soup while making the next dish.

According to the process of Western food, the soup is followed by a side dish, which can be said to be a supplement to the main dish, enriching the dishes, or it can be said to continue the role of the soup and continue to appetize until the main dish is tasted.

There are no strict requirements for the side dishes, and many times they can be combined into the first plate, and the food is relatively wide, such as seafood and vegetable salad.

From a health point of view, in order to supplement vitamins or something, anyway, it is to supplement nutrition, and the side dishes are often vegetables.

Of course, Mr. Bai Da would not do this, although the dishes were served according to the process of Western food, but the dishes were all Chinese. In order to show off the variety of Chinese food, of course, no greens are served.

If you can still recognize what kind of food is in the first four-course dish, the side dishes will definitely confuse you.

Looking at Bai Lu from the big screen, it is still easy and neat to handle the ingredients, the whole person is relaxed and natural, and the movements are as beautiful as flowing water, as if they have been doing these things for many years.

In the restaurant, the guests couldn't understand what Bai Lu was doing on the screen, and the dishes seemed to be a little familiar. But at this time, what they should do is to enjoy the delicious taste, the first four-course meal, ten minutes after the feast, no one is willing to finish it, including a few people from the domestic embassy.

While eating, I was amazed by the incredible deliciousness, and I was even more curious about the white road on the screen.

At this point, Jennifer walked back to the doorway, holding the microphone and coughing.

The restaurant was already very quiet, more than 700 people gathered together, but they never made too much noise, I have to say, even if they pretend to be on the scene, these foreigners are really good and sophisticated.

Now hearing Jennifer's cough, all the guests turned their heads to look over, and Jennifer introduced herself first, as if joking: "Jennifer, today's translator, has a few words to say." ”

After saying this, he waited for a little three or two seconds, and continued: "It should be Bai Lu standing here to speak, introducing to everyone what Chinese food is, but unfortunately he is busy, so I have to do it for me, so, what is Chinese food?"

After speaking, he paused for a moment, and also smiled: "Everyone has eaten Chinese food, but what kind of food is Chinese food? This sentence should not be said, Bai Lu said, and he should not be said, so who should say?"

Jennifer paused three times when she said a word, and the last one paused, raised her hand to the big screens on both sides of the wall, and continued: "Delay everyone's time a little, while Bailu is making zuò delicious for us, please watch the video of him participating in the production of zuò, is it okay?"

The answer must be yes, every banquet must have a theme, otherwise this large number of people gather to eat together, what do you say to eat?

Today's topic is Understanding Chinese Food, so please start now.

Some of the guests smiled one after another, as if watching a blessing video at the wedding scene, and the guests in the restaurant all looked at the big screen opposite.

On the screen now, Bai Lu is still working, preparing side dishes and cooking soup. As if reminded by someone, Bai Lu pauses his work, smiles at the camera, and then freezes the camera.

The next moment, the white road in that smile disappeared and was replaced by a short video: Understanding Chinese Food.

It's a big topic, but it's also a small one. What is Chinese food, the meals we eat every day are Chinese food. This is a big topic because it has been inherited for thousands of years, has the world's longest history and accumulated food culture, and is so huge and complex that none of us can understand Chinese food in detail.

The dishes of ancient times are not as complete as they are now, and there is a lack of ingredients, such as peppers, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, ...... These are all exotic foods.

The formation of modern Chinese cuisine is actually similar to the development of Japanese cuisine and Korean cuisine, which is to inherit the national tradition, absorb and integrate the advantages of other types of dishes, and constantly improve and develop, so as to become the Chinese food we see now. Even today, Chinese food is still absorbing and developing, just like Western food, it also has the advantages of absorbing Chinese food and integrating and developing.

Take a Michelin-starred restaurant as an example, any restaurant on the list must have a special dish that can be mastered, and the chef is encouraged to innovate and develop on the basis of the original recipe.

For example, Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong and Macau that have won three Michelin stars, it is difficult for Chinese restaurants to win this honor, and the chef of the hotel is to evolve traditional Chinese food to Western food, absorb and learn from the advantages of Western food as much as possible, and form new Chinese dishes, which has entered the eyes of Michelin gourmets.

Japanese food is the most thorough in this regard, starting from the time the American warship bombed through the Japanese gate, and the closed Japan began to come into contact with foreign food, and slowly developed.

In the past, Japanese food was closer to Chinese food, because the culture was also learned from China, and in the current Japanese food system, there is also a cooking method similar to the Chinese round table rice, that is, many people gather around a table, and a lot of food is placed on the table, and everyone eats together.

Today's Japanese food is closer to Western food, less in quantity and finer, and good-looking, so it will be accepted by foreigners relatively quickly.

In fact, the way Bailu now makes zuò dishes is also somewhat similar to Western food style, of course, you can also say that ancient Chinese nobles ate like this, such as the emperor's banquet, that is, each person eats their own small table.

The problem now is that no matter what kind of Chinese food foreigners like, the form is not important, the important thing is the quality of the dishes, and the important thing is to reshape the image of Chinese food, so that foreigners know how good Chinese food is.

There are always foreign institutions that make various statistics, and the most popular foreign cuisine, Japanese food has always been in front of Chinese food. What Bai Lu has to do is to make a good show of Xiàn first, we can't just say that foreigners think that Chinese food is the best, at least we can't think that Chinese food is low-grade cuisine.

It is difficult to make people change their concepts, and Bai Lu can only do it little by little, first of all, let's make a brief introduction from the video.

What is Chinese Food?

There are no voices in the video, no narration to be exact, only the content of the video, which starts with misty mountains, instantly turns into vast lakes and seas, and then has turquoise and boundless rice fields, just like the colors in the hall at that time.

The next moment, the camera changes, it is a small farmhouse courtyard, it is a city street, it is an ordinary family, and the subtitles at the bottom of the screen are in English for breakfast.

This is what Bai Lu has always wanted to do, and I want to give a comprehensive introduction to Chinese food, starting with breakfast, but unfortunately I can't.

Even in order to highlight the excitement of this dinner, even in the video, breakfast is quickly replaced.

What is there for breakfast, porridge, pickles, steamed buns, steamed buns, fried dough sticks, tofu brain, soy milk, rice noodles...... There are too many, our great nation, our great culinary heritage, which has given us countless kinds of delicious food. (To be continued......) R1292
