Chapter 1566: Time and Mind
Bai Lu was born in the desert and has a certain bias towards food, such as rarely making seafood, such as grilled mussels and lobsters, which have never been done at all.
Don't talk about Western food, even if you eat Chinese food, you should have a combination when ordering, for example, if you have meat, you should have seafood, oysters and fish.
The main dish chosen by Bai Lu does not have these, the meat is definitely there, and the meat and vegetable combination route is taken, and as for the seafood, there is only that fish soup.
Look at the time, go to the end of the kitchen, where there is a row of ovens. There are two types of ovens, one is an electric oven, which is very large, like a roast duck that can be hung and roasted. The other is a charcoal stove like a barbecue restaurant.
Bai Lu looked at it a little in the past, and the single hero at the door asked, "Main course?"
Bai Lu nodded, Shan Hero turned around and left the kitchen, and after a while, he brought a few people to push a few carts, each cart had four white plastic boxes, and Shan Hero moved into the kitchen one by one.
Bai Lu came over to help, and in a short time the long platform near the door was full of boxes.
Lift the lid of one of the boxes, and inside is a half-cut corbel. Although it is half-cut, it is very large, and only one can be contained in a large box. That is, these boxes are full of corbels.
There was sauce in the box, and Bai Lu took a quick second look. Turn around and take a pair of gloves on, pick up the sauce and apply it to the meat a few times, then pick it up and take it to the oven.
Each leg is the part that leaves the most meat, and there are five large ovens in the kitchen, each with four beef shanks, for a total of 20 beef shanks.
After doing this, go and prepare another dish. And in the hall at this time, Jennifer was announcing the answer.
There are four side dishes, most people can guess one, and a few people can guess three dishes, but no one can guess them all.
The first dish that resembles vermicelli is pork rind, which is specially treated to remove the grease and cut into paper-thin pieces and air-dried in the shade.
The second flake is a conch slice, which can be cut into several slices in order to make the food look good.
The conch is a little more expensive in China, and Lao Mei rarely eats this noodles, and it is generally exported to Asia. There are several origins, and the varieties of conch are also different.
The third filament is shredded chicken, and the side dish is four dishes, this dish is the most tiring, and the white road is picked into filaments little by little, and then trimmed to the same length.
The fourth course is beef tendons, after cooking, the flavor is boiled, and it is also very soft, and the original shape is changed with a knife.
This is a four-course meat dish, and like the first four dishes, the white road does not add sauces, and the flavor is sent into the food during the cooking process.
The guests listened to Jennifer reveal the answer, and then looked at the food on the plate, and suddenly someone applauded, and many people applauded.
For many foreigners, participating in a banquet of this nature is really not about how delicious the food is. For example, there are always fashion parties, and many people buy tickets to participate. Regarding this, not only China has blanket stars, but also many foreigners, and in order to enter a certain high-end occasion, it is also appropriate to buy high-priced tickets.
In the past, the focus was not on what to eat, but on participating in the event. This type of gathering usually features celebrities.
When someone performs, there will naturally be applause.
But Bai Lu didn't perform here, but he won applause.
The applause quickly stopped, and with the small jar of wine, everyone was enjoying the delicious food with their hearts.
When she was originally planning, Jennifer had built a few shows to buffer the boring meal time. For example, during the wedding banquet, there are often singers singing, which is used to adjust the atmosphere.
Shiraji didn't agree, saying that this time was different from the last time he was in Japan, and the process had to change. So let's change.
But then you can change it, in the hall of eating, when you are really reluctant to finish the food quickly, there will always be a lot of time intervals, so you don't know what to do.
How is this time arranged?
The arrangement of the white road is that the black label girls dance, but there is no stage, one hundred and eight girls, ninety are selected, divided into six teams, like the conductor dancing on the train, the black label girls dance between the two rows of long tables.
When Jennifer used the method of guessing the food for twenty minutes, the Black Label girls came on the stage, and they didn't change their clothes, just beautiful cheongsams, lined with many girls and slowly walked back to the restaurant, walking into every aisle.
Fifteen people stood in each aisle from beginning to end, and suddenly the music started and they began to dance.
Very simple dance moves, very small venues, everyone only moves their feet in front of and behind them. But people look good, the food is delicious, the wine is good, and the dance moves are soft and light, and this dance is very successful.
And this dance performance will be the only program for the entire dinner.
A dance lasted no more than six minutes, and soon it was over, and the girls bowed and went out.
Next, it's time for the main course.
The guests also seemed to know that they were about to withdraw and began to clean up the leftover food, although they were reluctant to finish it, but they were even more reluctant to be served without eating.
This process is ten minutes, and in these ten minutes, the figure of Bai Lu reappears on the big screen.
Soon, the door at one end of the hall opened again, and the food truck re-entered.
In the ten minutes that have passed, you can see Bai Lu steaming something on the screen, you can also see him looking at the oven, and you can see the many casseroles he has placed in front of him.
The casserole is large and can hold a lot of food, stewing very ordinary home-cooked dishes, sauerkraut vermicelli and white meat.
If any normal person does a banquet, he will not make such a dish, and it will feel like it is too child's play.
But Mr. Bai Da is used to child's play, and he has been playing since the first plate of four vegetarian dishes, why can't the main dish be sauerkraut stew?
However, it is not these dishes that are being brought into the hall now, but a cup of tea. Replace the four small plates of the side dishes and replace them with a cup of tea, whether it is to clear your mouth or quench your thirst, and stop to enjoy the process of eating.
When the waiter served tea, unlike the previous times, Jennifer would say something. Not this time, the content suddenly changed on the big screen, jumping from Bai Lu cooking to another video.
The previous video was a six-minute introduction to the dishes, and at the end of that video, it said: Chinese food, much more than that.
Now it's time to pick up on that video and do a different kind of introduction.
At the beginning of the video, what is Chinese food in English? The following subtitle answers: Chinese food is ......
This subtitle dialogue pauses for a while, and the next moment there are character shots, first a century-old store, like the previous video, this video is still food-based, the difference is that there are more character shots, and there are also more English dubbing, very simple words: Beicheng, belly, century-old store, inheritance of four generations.
The next camera change, what appears in front of everyone's eyes is a storefront and many scallion pancakes, and the dubbing introduction is: Shencheng, scallion pancakes, thirty years.
The camera then changes, Guangcheng, milk tablets, thirty years.
Again, Yuncheng, fried tofu, thirty years......
Judging by the content, it is a continuation of the previous video, and many foods that were not introduced in the previous video appear. Many are street shops, many are local snacks, but the minimum service life of each food provider is 30 years.
That is to say, there is a person who has been making food for more than 30 years very seriously, relying on this craft.
Every food is a simple English word, with simple food, and then there is a shot of the chef's bright smile, there is a kind of shocking power.
There is such food, there are these living people, so that this video comes alive immediately, and it is very true to tell everyone that this qiē is real and exists.
Obviously very simple things, whether it is food, zuò making technology, or that smiling face, it is very simple to shoot. It's not simple that there are many, many people, and it's not simple that everyone has been engaged in it for a long, long time.
Because of the characters and the voiceover, this video is more vivid and engaging than the previous one. It's a pity that I didn't go into details, but it was very simple and straightforward to say these people and food, that's all.
But because of this, it will make you curious about what kind of people and what kind of food are in the video, and what kind of story there is.
The video is very exciting, groups of food have changed, smiling faces have skipped, there are no young people, there are no good-looking faces, some are old, tribulations, and life...... It's that truth.
This is a Chinese food promotional video for foreigners, according to past experience, it should be to promote exquisite food, what the Great Hall, the State Guesthouse, all kinds of surprisingly good-looking food, anyway, it is to look good and scare people.
Bai Lu would never do this, the first set of videos is very strange, only the dishes, and the second set of videos is even stranger, it becomes an introduction to life. In his world, exquisite propaganda always comes second, and authenticity comes first.
The people in the video basically only make one kind of food, and they have persisted for many years, but they still only make that kind of food, they will not open branches, they will not deceive customers, and they will always make zuò food cleanly and seriously.
This video is about three minutes long, even if it is a set of shots every five seconds, three minutes is more than 36 kinds of food, and more than 36 cooks who have been concentrating on one food for a long time.
Such people are hard to find, it's hard to find them, and many of the people in the video are gray-haired and still working.
When the footage of more than three minutes passed, the text appeared on the screen: Chinese food or ......
The same ellipsis, followed by the same amazing content.
As usual, it's the smiling face of the food and the person who makes it, but the difference is that there are more words in the dubbing introduction.
In the north, there are many rows of sauce jars in the room, and the introduction is: chili peppers, various kinds of bean flour, fermented for a year, need to be stirred frequently, and make hot sauce.
In the south, a sauce jar in a square, the introduction is that I have made soy sauce for 30 years, but in fact, I have only made it 30 times.
……
The food that takes time to make is not only the sauce, but also the ham, bacon, and dried ...... Some have to be dried, some have to be cellared, and many kinds of food appear on the screen without modification......
It's all about introducing a variety of foods, and the first video and the second video are completely two different feelings. The first video just has a lot of dishes. The second video is shocking, telling everyone that there is not only one Japanese king of sushi in the world, but also many chefs in China who make food with heart. R1152
