Duanmu gave the waiter to hand over the menu, the name of the dish is written in French, with a small line of Chinese notes underneath, and a picture of each dish is inserted next to it to facilitate customers to order. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

As one of the three major cuisines in the world, French cuisine and Turkish cuisine, it is the most prestigious dish in Western cuisine and a pearl of Western culture, according to legend, in the 16th century, after the Italian woman Catherine married King Henry II of France, she brought the cooking methods such as beef liver, black mushrooms, tender steaks, and cheese that were prevalent in the Italian Renaissance to France, and Louis XIV also launched a cooking competition, which is now popular Corden Bleu Award. Anthony Calemé, who served as chief chef of King George IV and Tsar Alexander I of Russia, wrote a food dictionary, the Dictionary of Cuisine, which became the basis of classical French cuisine.

"For the main course, I choose steak, medium rare, for soup, I choose French Seafood Soup, for fruit, Tiramisu with Fresh Frui baked Tian Nami Su with fresh fruit, for aperitif take two bottles of champagne, oysters with lemon juice on the appetizer, ice cream for dessert, and finally double espresso," Duanmu Ci said with a smile, the authentic French meal contains at least five courses, including an aperitif, an appetizer, a main course, dessert, and coffee. These Duanmu Ci have done some homework, and he knows the names of the dishes on the menu and can say them fluently, which surprised the waiter, this Asian can speak fluent French, it is incredible, you must know that spoken French can be regarded as one of the most difficult spoken languages to learn, you need to use a lot of tongue curl, it sounds like a tongue twister.

After Duanmu Ci liked it, he gave the menu to Xiaoxue, telling them that they only needed to order their main course and coffee, and he ordered everything else for everyone, and Ling Xue also chose a steak and a cappuccino.

After the others finished ordering their main dishes and coffee in turn, the waiter wrote them down one by one, smiled and said to Duanmu Ci in French, please wait a while, and then left, seeing Xiaoxue glanced at Duanmu Ci fiercely, this guy is a scourge of attracting bees and butterflies wherever he goes.

"I said boss, why is French food so troublesome, it feels like it's the same process, it's too complicated" The mouse said with a mouthful, he was a little stunned, he had never eaten French food, he didn't understand this complicated order.

"The complicated ones are still to come," Duanmu said with a smile, spreading the napkin flat on his lap. Dining in a French restaurant is very particular about table manners, and the slightest failure to do so will cause the locals to roll their eyes. In France, there are some established etiquettes when eating. Many Western countries have French food etiquette, so they should pay attention to some of the key etiquette.

After a while, the waiter came with a tray with two bottles of champagne, which were placed on the table and then opened with a special bottle opener.

Duanmuci picked up a bottle of champagne and gently poured it into a slender cup in front of him, this kind of cup is called a tulip cup, because it is shaped like a blooming tulip and got its name, the cup holder is relatively long, and the mouth is relatively small, mainly used to preserve the fragrance of the wine as much as possible. In front of everyone there are four cups of different sizes, and each cup contains rules for what, the large cup is used to hold water, generally not used as a toast to wine, the medium cup is used to hold red wine, the small glass is used to hold white wine, and the slender cup is used to hold champagne, and when drinking, don't just take a sip, but take a small sip of the tongue and taste it slowly, Duanmu Ci only poured about a third of the cup, and the golden liquid was packed in a transparent cup and glowed golden under the illumination of the light.

"It's delicious! it's delicious," the mouse sighed after taking a sip, and felt that it was not enjoyable and just took a sip. A few people also followed the example of Duanmu and drank in small sips, chatting while waiting for the appetizer to come up, eating French food is not in a hurry, it is useless to be in a hurry, it is better to enjoy every link.

After a long while, a bottle of champagne was almost finished by everyone, and the appetizer was finally served, and the waiter pushed a trolley over, on which were placed two large plates, covered with round lids, and when they were placed on the table of Duanmuci, the lids were taken away.

Appetizers are cold cuts, generally salads, cold cuts, seafood and vegetable (meat) soups, etc., the amount is not large, to put it bluntly, it is to let you pad your stomach first, "warm up". So Duanmu ordered a plate of oysters, and the other plate was also a lemon that had been cut, and French cuisine paid more attention to plating, because it was an indispensable art for them, so the lemons and oysters were arranged in a beautiful shape, which made everyone reluctant to start.

"Shelled things can be done by hand," Duanmu Ci said with a smile as he looked at everyone's tangled looks, and took the lead in picking up an oyster and placing it on the plate in front of him, the French often say that the freshest oysters will tremble slightly when you squeeze the lemon juice. Lemon is eaten with oysters to cover up the fishy smell of seafood, which is similar to the vinegar used in seafood in China, and as for mayonnaise, it is said that because you eat too much raw seafood, your body will lose B vitamins, which can be compensated for with mayonnaise. Duanmuci took a clove of fresh lemon and squeezed it on the oyster, dripping it on the oyster meat little by little, and sure enough, he saw the oyster meat squirming little by little, it seems that what the book said is really not deceiving, Duanmuci thought to himself.

The amount is very small, each person only has two oysters, and it was solved by five people after a while, this time the waiter did not let everyone wait too long, just after eating the appetizer main course was served, five steaks were placed in front of that person, everyone ordered the same. When the waiter left, he took away the plates and knives and forks that everyone had used before, and put on a new pair of knives and forks.

Duanmu Ci picked up the napkin on his knee and rolled the corner of it into his neckline, holding a knife in his right hand and a fork in his left hand. Cut out a small piece of steak, the knife is very sharp, cut the steak at once, Duanmu Ci forked it up with a fork and slowly put it into his mouth to chew, the authentic seven-minute cooked beef is very chewy, several people chatted about irrelevant things while eating steak, Duanmu Ci ordered two bottles of red wine, steak with red wine, this is the most authentic way to eat, and it is also very delicious, a mouthful of steak and a mouthful of wine, it can be said that it is very enjoyable.

The whole meal took about two hours, which is quite normal for a French meal, and there were three or four hours of eating, for example, the gringos at the table next to them, who had been drinking aperitifs since Duanmu gave them here, and still eating desserts, which is not surprising to the French.
