At this time, Sikong Yao was about to thank Jean for his patient explanation, when a gentle middle-aged male voice added: "Yes, there are four core conditions for awarding the DOCG title to the DOC appellation, first, this possible DOCG appellation has produced historically important wines. Secondly, the quality of the wines produced in this region is already internationally recognized and sustainable. Thirdly, the quality of the wine has improved dramatically and is gaining attention. Fourth, the wines produced in the region have already contributed greatly to the health of the Italian economy. And these are precisely these things that only Tuscany can meet, and the DOCG wines of other regions are far inferior to the wines produced on my farm. ”

This man was the Medici Eric of the Tuscan farm, who had a deep affection for the wines produced on his farm, and was delighted to hear Jean's praise as he passed by.

Unexpectedly saw Eric, Sikong Yao and Jean both nodded in greeting, Eric smiled and said, "I didn't expect that there would be people in your class of little ghosts who understand." ”

Eric wasn't interested in these young sweets, he saw them as just a bunch of naïve children chasing ridiculous dreams without knowing anything about the world, but when it came to wine, he was very interested.

Jean smiled and said, "A man's experience and intellect are disproportionate to his age, just as his wealth is. ”

Eeric's modesty and arrogance surprised Eric a little, and Eric's previous words were clearly a bit mocking of Sikong Yao and Jean's young age. Hence classifying them into the ranks of the ignorant. However, Jean fought back, and although it was very subtle, he could still hear the simple words that Eric had taken over the Medici family for so many years.

However, Eric did not get angry, but smiled and said, "I'm sorry for my previous collision, you're right, a person's talent is not tied to his age, at least not the two of you." ”

Although Eric apologized, he still didn't show recognition to everyone, just felt that Jean and Sikong Yao were a little different from the others.

Sikong Yao shrugged. There's no need to dwell too much on this issue. So he moved on to another topic that everyone would be happy about: "It is said that in Western food, roasted beef in red wine is a very classic dish, such as beef stew in Burgundy red wine." ”

As soon as he heard the burgundy beef stew, Jean and Eric's-for-tat atmosphere eased a little. Jean realized that he shouldn't be so rude as a guest. So he nodded and said, "Eric Zhuang." I'm sorry too. ”

Eric smiled, he didn't mean to be angry with Jean, but because of the burgundy red wine beef stew that Sikong Yao talked about, he whetted his appetite. So he said: "Burgundy beef stew is so ordinary, how can you not try the T-bone steak in red wine in Florence?" ”

Sikong Yao smiled and said, "What, is the owner of Eric planning to invite us to dinner?" ”

Eric also smiled heartily: "Why not, come with me." ”

Sikong Yao and Jean were a little surprised, Erik who didn't feel hospitable at first would treat them so hospitablely, something must have happened.

Sikong Yao said with a smile: "The owner of Eric seems to be very happy, what good things have happened in recent days?" ”

Eric smiled: "This year's ordinary harvest is particularly good, it just so happens that the most recent batch of 10-year wines has come out of the cellar, and in another 10 years, this year's grape harvest will definitely be able to create a brilliant record for the Medici family, and my son will be blessed at that time." ”

Sikong Yao nodded knowingly, it turned out that Eric was thinking about his son, and he had to say that he was a good father, of course, if he was willing to entertain Sikong Yao for a good meal, Sikong Yao would also recognize him as a good uncle.

However, when it comes to steak, Jean is not as excited as Sikong Yao, although they are all steaks, but the steaks recognized by Jean are most likely different from Eric's taste.

Usually in China, the kind of sauce steak eaten is actually European, because American steak is more suitable for Chinese appetite, it is not only larger, but also has a lot of side dishes, such as noodles or mashed potatoes and so on.

In the steak house restaurant in the United States, which specializes in eating steak, the steak on the menu is a la carte, it divides the beef into different parts, with different names, and the guests can choose the part of the meat according to their preferences, and the side dishes also need to be ordered, like spinach, mushrooms, salads, fries, etc., when serving, everyone wants the steak in front of them, and the side dishes are placed in the middle, and the guests can eat them separately, much like the way to eat Chinese food, and the amount of steak is also very large, and people who love meat can definitely eat to their heart's content.

A country's cuisine not only reflects the culture of a region, but also reflects the character of the residents, Italian steak is not as rough as American steak, when it comes to the difference of Italian steak, it is relatively common to eat more oil smoke, the taste is greasy teppanyaki steak, Italian steak is all made of porcelain plate as a container, with the fresh quality beef of the day, and the sauce used is also Italian black pepper and mushroom sauce, the taste is delicate, and there is no greasy feeling.

The heat of the Italian steak is also different from the teppanyaki steak I usually eat, only 5 points and 7 points, in order to maintain the best taste of the steak, which is also a little different from Jean's preference.

In some special places, there are also people who like to eat medium-rare steak, and they think that the steak is the most delicious when it has a blood-red interior and a certain temperature throughout the interior and has the toughness of raw meat, and a brown fully cooked steak on the inside.

The inside of the steak is pink with a mixture of light gray and brown tones, and the whole steak is very hot medium rare is a favorite of Italians, and the light gray mixed brown with pink medium rare is also very popular.

However, when you look at the world, it is clear that the medium rare steak, which is rosy on the inside and has a fairly hot temperature, is more acceptable, and the medium rare steak is not bloody, but can be seen only a beautiful burnt tan color, and the surface is oozing with sweet gravy. After cutting it with the knife, you will see a dark red color like ham sausage, and when you taste it, you can taste it and melt it with just a gentle chew, leaving a mouthful of fresh and sweet aftertaste.

Fortunately, Jean is not a particularly picky person, even if it is an Italian steak, he is acceptable.

Molière, a leading French chef in Western cuisine, once raised the question of "eating to live or living to eat", while Italians believe in the truth that "a dinner is not worth less than a good poem". At one end, Italian cuisine is like its own culture, noble, elegant and unique, and at the other end it strives to reach the tables of ordinary people all over the world with a friendly and peaceful attitude.

Italy, a country of nobility and elegance and rich fragrance, seems to have been separated from the rest of Europe. It is a jewel of the Mediterranean, and it is full of charm all year round. Romantic and tender Italians have a rich imagination and creativity, from people leisurely drinking the world's most authentic espresso on the roadside, to aging artisans tinkling the most dazzling calfskin boots on the Milan catwalk in the deep alleys, the Italian glamour and sense of superiority come from blood and thinking, and its dedication to seriousness is almost unstoppable, and even the world is saying: "Falling in love with Italian cuisine is like falling in love with a beautiful, graceful man."

Italian steaks are always the most talked-about and have a long aftertaste, with golden steaks infused with mellow wine that brings out the delicate taste of the beef. Cut a small piece and put it in your mouth, and you can clearly feel the shallow aroma in your mouth

Although Italian steak does not have the pleasure of American steak, it eats a natural and delicious taste of various herbs, this steak is delicious even if it is not paired with black pepper sauce, Italian steak is usually put a little baking soda when marinated, baking soda is an alkaline substance sodium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate will remain after the action, sodium carbonate has the general properties of salt. Sodium carbonate is a strong alkali and weak salt, which can make beef softer.

T-bone steak is the backbone of the cow's back, a large piece of steak sandwiched between the T-shaped bones, on one side is filet, on the other side is the New Yorker, the meat is tender and rough, or oily or refreshing, you can eat it all by ordering, and it is most suitable for cooking until it is medium rare to 5 to 8 medium.

Sirloin steak, also known as sirloin steak, refers to beef with tender meat and tender tendons, which is basically taken from the most tender beef in the beef back area, with different locations and different flavors. The more authentic sirloin is derived from the loin, but special varieties such as the New Yorker are derived from the fillet-like loin. Tender, sweet and juicy, Sirloin steak is a favorite of entry-level steak connoisseurs, with four to six medium-rare being its most delicious moments.

Filet mignon should be the favorite of many petty bourgeoisie, it is also called tender beef tenderloin, taken from the inner muscle of the cow, that is, the meat in the loin, because the muscles of this part of the exercise are small, so the meat is the most tender and lean, less fat, because each cow is a small strip and appears "scarce and expensive". The taste is good but there is no chewiness, and it looks old and astringent when overcooked, but it is actually more suitable for the elderly or children with bad teeth and weak digestion, and he can be perfectly qualified in the range of three to seven medium-rare.

The ribeye steak is taken from the rib of the cow, that is, the meat on the side of the beef bone, it is not as tender as the loin, but the meat on the side of the bone is undoubtedly delicious, the tender meat is sandwiched with elastic and strong oil tendons, which is chewy and chewy than the sirloin, more flavorful than the filet, and the oil is very rich, which is very popular with young male diners.

The two words of simple steak are also broad and profound, and there are common ones such as the tendon meat of the beef shoulder blade part, the rib eye of the upper shoulder blade, the ventral flank meat of the tripe part, the upper hind leg meat, etc., although the meat fiber of these parts is thicker, it cannot be compared with the above varieties, but as long as it is cooked properly, it is also delicious.
