Chapter 1565: A Little Game
There is no narration in the video, there are no subtitles under the screen, there are just scenes of picture changes, breakfast in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, breakfast in the breakfast shop on the city street, breakfast in the ordinary people's homes......
The whole shot doesn't take more than a minute, and the variety of breakfast types flashes by, and if you don't know about Chinese food, from this one-minute video, you only know that those things can be eaten.
The only thing you can eat is a meal.
Next, it was changed to lunch, and it was still these scenes, with all kinds of noodles and various rices and dishes, which looked very ordinary, just like the Chinese food in the foreigner's impression, and it was really not elegant.
The shots take less than two minutes, and the main shots are a variety of staples and a variety of home-cooked dishes.
Then, the camera changed again, there was still no voice, and there was still no subtitle explanation, but all the Chinese dishes in the video changed.
The first thing that came out was the Manchu and Han banquet in Bailu's event in Japan, the big dragon, the Western cuisine, and the complete dishes.
Before coming here, many guests knew about Bai Lu's table in Japan, and they watched and watched the video, and they wanted to understand why there were so many guests on the field, and anyone who had eaten Bai Lu's food was as comfortable and satisfied as if they had taken drugs?
These dishes are much better than the breakfast and lunch that ordinary people eat before, but unfortunately, these dishes are only for viewing, not on the table.
So the camera continues to change, it is a restaurant, one table after another, the dishes on each table are different, the same is very good-looking, and there are guests eating at the table. Starting from this shot, for two full minutes, the video continuously changes various dishes, all of which are exquisitely made and beautiful, and then suddenly the screen goes black, and there is a line of English text: Chinese food, much more than that.
A total of six minutes of video, very short, very short, without any introduction, some just a variety of food, in the sù guests, Chinese food is the rice and dishes eaten by Chinese, that many good-looking and unsightly, ordinary or exquisite, are Chinese food.
Everyone understands this truth, and ordinary foreigners can't afford to eat expensive Western food, so they can only make do at home and drink milk and make cereal. However, after the guests saw this video, they were all slightly touched, and the first touch was that they basically didn't know the various dishes that appeared in the six-minute video, or they hadn't seen them before.
Chinese dishes often eaten by foreigners include kung pao chicken, fish-flavored shredded pork, spring rolls, mapo tofu, etc...... But the patterns and seasonings they eat have changed a lot. When it was changed to the appearance of authentic kung pao chicken in the video, they could only speculate that it might be.
They are not to blame for this, it is that if Chinese food wants to be sold in foreign countries, it must suit the taste of foreigners. It's like a well-cooked steak in Western food, which many of us are not used to.
The second touch is an inexplicable little touch, and it is also a little doubt. It's strange to say, it's a very simple and simple video, from beginning to end, it's a compilation of various shots, no voices, and even translation work is omitted, it's such a boring list, but I don't know why, but it can catch people's attention, attract you to watch, and want to see what is said in the video.
It's a pity that I waited until the end, and the video didn't explain anything.
Well, this explanation can only be given by Jennifer, or Chef Bai Lu.
The video stopped playing, and the guests turned their attention to Jennifer at the door again, but Jennifer was gone, and the guests looked left and right, but they didn't see anyone, so they had to look at the big screen again, with a little doubt, picked up the small wine glass, took a sip of the really delicious fruit wine, and then, or thought about it, or continued to eat slowly and carefully.
Western food is to be closed, estimate the time, should be served soup, the guests speed up, eat the first plate of four small square plates, fortunately, the amount of dishes is not large, quickly finished.
After only a while, the small square plate in front of most of the guests was empty, so the door on the side of the restaurant was pushed open again, and the food trucks came out one after another, and beautiful oriental girls with graceful postures appeared.
I didn't say anything about the whole service process, I couldn't find any fault, I took away the empty plates very gently and gently, and then served the soup bowls one by one very softly.
The soup bowl has a lid and is gently placed in front of the guests, and the waiter does not speak, but smiles at the guests and retreats lightly.
Some anxious guests take off the lid, what appears in front of them is a picture-like soup, pale white soup, like fog and smoke, in the light green porcelain bowl is lightly moved, this piece of white floats a small piece of green, you can understand it as a green boat, can be seen as a water weed, or even a herring fish......
Of course, what you understand depends on how you plan to think about it. If you don't bother to think about it, then it's a white soup, a very unsurprising white soup, just very beautiful.
Some guests couldn't help it, picked up the silver spoon to take the soup and tasted it, and when they tasted it, it was like what often appears on TV, breathing lightly with their eyes closed, and the tip of their tongue moving lightly, tasting that kind of taste.
I can't tell what kind of soup it is, I just think it's fresh. And there are no clues in the soup bowl, and there is no shredded meat foam.
When all the guests were in front of the soup, Jennifer appeared again, and introduced it in two simple sentences: it was fish soup.
This answer surprised many people, especially gourmets, who went to taste the soup again, but still couldn't taste the slightest fishy smell.
Western food should be used slowly, and this soup is no problem to drink for more than ten minutes.
So, what to do when drinking soup?
Is the big screen going to continue to introduce Chinese food?
The answer is no, any kind of propaganda has a freshness and aesthetic fatigue. Bai Lu squeezed the breadth and depth of Chinese food into a six-minute video because it was calculated that this time happened to be the cut-off point of people's tolerance limits. The premise is that you have to be interested in the matter.
When you are interested in Chinese food, and the video is Chinese food, even if you don't say anything, it will attract you to watch it. However, if you don't introduce and explain all the time, your curiosity will be reduced, your freshness will gradually become unattractive, and your guests won't care about what the video is doing.
It's the same reason, the same video can't be done again, and the publicity effect will not be very good.
It's still the same reason, and you can't let go of the cooking process of the white road anymore. It's just that the cooking is so unfazed and serious, not to mention that it is not attractive, and it will also wipe out the curiosity of the guests.
You have to say that Mr. Bai Da is very talented, although Liv mainly completed all the preparations for the whole Chinese banquet, many of the ideas were come up by Bai Lu.
Including Fang Cai's Chinese food video, but also many activities to come.
At this moment, there is nothing on the big screen. Jennifer said that it was fish soup and then quietly went out, leaving time for everyone to taste it patiently.
Ten minutes later, I came back and asked with a smile who had tasted the fish soup?
Only a small number of people raised their hands with a smile, and a few with smug expressions.
Jennifer counted a little and continued: "It doesn't seem too much, it's better like this, now look at the big screen, Mr. Bai Lu is making the next dish, let's play a little game, and after the next dish is presented, I won't introduce it first, you guess what kind of food it is after tasting, and the winner will have a prize, and the prize is the fruit brew in front of you." ”
It's just a little game, and there's nothing that you can't guess. Most of the guests didn't care. What they care about is getting the status of the invitation, and they also care about the food made by Bai Lu, and some people laugh and say yes.
So the big screen was lit up again, Bai Lu was dividing the dishes, it was still a small square plate, and the small square plate was packed in a large tray, each full of a large tray, covered with a lid, and the single hero put the tray on the conveyor belt and sent it to the side dish room.
Because of the lack of a zuò process, all you can see are the four types of food: silk, slices, strips, and balls...... You can only know by tasting.
In the midst of speculation, while waiting, the door of the restaurant was pushed open again, this time, the food truck took away the soup bowls, put four small plates of crystal dishes, and left.
Not necessarily for the prize, but for the unnecessary honor of knowing the dish well, and the guests will also watch the four-course dishes carefully.
This is a side dish, and it is still served with four small plates, although the amount is small, but many people's appetite is also small, and they will be full after eating some.
It can be said that if it weren't for the fact that the dishes made by Bai Lu were particularly delicious, when the first plate and eight small plates of side dishes were eaten, and then there was a small bowl of soup, many people would have been able to put down the dishes and think about going home to rest.
Now, the guests are looking at four small square plates, arranged in order of strips, slices, shreds, and piles. The first type is somewhat like wide vermicelli, which is very similar in color, size and transparency. The second is a few thin transparent sheets, the color is not uniform and uniform, some places are light yellow, and some places are whitish. The third type is filaments of the same length, small and small. The color approximates between white and yellow, mainly white. The fourth is a very light yellow clump, if you look closely, it is a knife, that is, it changes its original shape, and changes it into a very random clump, some like a sea stinger?
The guests looked at it for a while, but they couldn't tell what it was. Some people start to taste, but after tasting it, they also get nothing. It is to whisper and ask and discuss what kind of food it is.
No one introduced. The content on the big screen has also changed, with footage of many guests tasting food. Supermodels are more lively, and when they appear on the camera, they will smile and gently wave their hands very elegantly.
These are four very strange dishes, and no one knows what they are at the end.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Jennifer smiled and gave a hint: "It's meat dishes, both on land and in the sea, which are relatively common foods." ”
So everyone continued to guess, and Bai Lu seized the time to make the next preparation.
The side dish is followed by the main course, and the main course is not just one, it can be two or three, and it must be a good thing, or meat or seafood, which is very delicious and can be served on the table.
The single hero is also busy, and as the only helper, he completes most of the various preparation activities. The old man is in good health, and the degree of cooperation is also very good, and he has hardly said a few words when he has worked with Bai Lu until now.
If you want to have a tacit understanding, of course, you must know the recipe first.
After understanding the whole recipe, you will understand the general process of making zuò, and the rest is to cooperate with Bai Lu's work as much as possible. R1152
