Chapter 277: Celebration
Everyone gave gifts, and Li Han also followed the customs of the locals and dismantled them one by one in person.
Benedict sent two cruise tickets for the Mediterranean route, and Li Han had never been to the Mediterranean, so he immediately smiled with a smile. Tom gave him a black card that allows you to eat at any time of the day at a three-Michelin-starred restaurant in London without a reservation.
The most valuable was the gift from the Count of Reims: the transfer of ownership of the units on the cruise ship "World".
The "World" cruise ship is sold to the guests in units, the guests are the owners, the cruise ship is like a moving community, the guests buy a unit on the cruise ship, and they own a house on the cruise ship. World cruises sail annually on routes voted by the owners, so you can stay on board and travel all year round as long as you have the time.
Lydia had mentioned to Li Han before that Count Reims had a unit on the "World" cruise ship, and they could get on board at any time to play for a while, but they never had time to spare, but they didn't expect Count Reims to give this unit directly to him. You must know that the price of units on the "World" cruise ship was between 2.5 million and 6.5 million US dollars, and now it has multiplied several times, but no one is willing to sell it.
It's just that Count Reims gave this gift in front of everyone, and Li Han couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it, while thinking about when to give his father-in-law a big gift, he wanted to marry someone's daughter, he couldn't take such a big advantage of others, right?
The celebration was specially made by Yan Lin, and now Chef Yan is almost not invited to go out to cook, he has opened his own restaurant and is applying for a Michelin rating. If it weren't for the good relationship with Li Han, he wouldn't have left his restaurant at all.
The dishes made by the chefs are naturally very delicious, and the real ones are full of color and flavor. One of the cold dishes is ham, a few pieces of half-inch square ham on the Yabai small plate are the most essential part, steamed with rice wine stored for many years, the lean meat is bright red like fire after being cut into thin slices, the fat is vaguely transparent, and then with a special clear sauce, the entrance is both melted and fragrant.
One is the tip of the cold bamboo shoots. If it is in the country of Huang. Now is the time to eat winter bamboo shoots. Winter bamboo shoots must be found in the kind that is still buried in the soil and has not shown its tip. As long as it grows a little above the ground, it will not work, and the taste will become hard and astringent, and it can only be dried into bamboo shoots.
The third course turned out to be a snack in the shape of a flower petal. The translucent skin is filled with a red-black filling. It looks unremarkable. When I tasted it, I found that it was sweet and sour. It's very appetizing, even if you just want to taste it at first, and you end up taking one bite at a time. I couldn't stop at all, and before I knew it, I ate all the plates.
Benedict asked, "What is this?" It tastes so good. ”
"This is a yam cake with jujube paste," said the maid who served the dishes, and the stewards told them to carry it, in case the guests would not know when they asked, "the skin is made of yams on the outside, and the stuffing on the inside is jujube paste." ”
The fourth course is also dim sum, which looks like a persimmon, but it is actually a kneaded dough with a custard filling, just like a custard bun. It's just that it's not steamed, but oiled and roasted into the yellow color of persimmons, the size of a walnut, and the amount of only two per person, to prevent guests from eating enough and affecting their appetite for eating the big dishes behind.
The staple food is mixed noodles, the thin noodles are pulled out by hand, and there are more than a dozen kinds of sauces. Each person has a plate, and there are only two mouthfuls of noodles on the plate, what kind of ingredients do you like, Yanlin directly helps to adjust, the amount is less because you can try a few more, what sour, salty, sweet, spicy, what you like to eat and what to mix. If you have a big belly, you can try each of them. Paired with shredded cucumbers, gluten, diced pumpkins and the like, it's colorful and beautiful.
Everyone liked it and picked their own flavors. Li Han stopped after tasting two of them, blocking the few people who wanted to continue: "If you like it, we will mix it ourselves tomorrow morning, and there are big dishes below, and we will be full at this time, but we will miss the deliciousness." ”
The main dish is roast duck, and the raw materials are all prepared by Yan Lin, and I don't know where he got the authentic stuffed duck. I didn't use an electric oven, but set up a mud oven by myself, burning fragrant fruit wood, and a few roast ducks were roasted with golden color, and they already exuded an attractive fragrance before they were sliced.
Yan Lin pushed the cart over and began to slice ducks in front of everyone. The guests only saw the glittering knives, and the slices of duck meat were extremely thin, and each slice had skin, oil, and meat. Follow Li Han's example and spread out a lotus leaf cake, take the duck meat sauce, and roll it with shredded green onions and cucumber strips to eat, salty and delicious, I couldn't help but roll one after another, and a few roast ducks were swept away.
When he was trying to keep his image and not burp, he came up with a few more vegetables, one was fried celery, which was refreshing and refreshing, so that everyone who had just eaten roast duck couldn't help but stretch out their chopsticks again. Then there is black fungus mixed with green onions, which is also a refreshing dish, just to clear the greasy feeling after eating meat in the mouth, and can also help digestion.
There are two kinds of desserts at the end, one is a small rice ball stuffed with wine, a sweet mash, a small balls with a super Q taste, and a little egg drop. There is also a rice ball, Li Han repeatedly emphasized when he saw it: "Be careful of scalding, pay attention when eating rice balls, the sesame filling inside is easy to burn your mouth, especially be careful not to stick to the roof of the mouth, it must be foamed." ”
The wine that goes with the meal is neither red wine nor white wine, but the rice wine brought by Yan Lin, sweet, this is his own wine, and he gave two jars to Li Han as a gift, each jar is about ten catties, one jar is ordinary rice wine, and the other jar is brewed medicinal wine. At night, rice wine was accompanied, and everyone thought it was sweet water when they drank it, although Li Han repeatedly emphasized that this wine was full of energy, no one believed it, they all thought he was joking.
Li Han was helpless, so he didn't dissuade him anymore, anyway, there are enough rooms in the manor, and there are maids waiting, if you are drunk, go straight to sleep, it's not a big deal, anyway, it won't hurt you to drink a few more glasses of rice wine, and you won't even have a headache when you wake up tomorrow morning.
Even ladies love this rice wine, and although it is not as tall as the wine, it tastes good at all. If it is an old wine, even if it is only left for a year, the taste will not be so sweet, it will be more mellow, and the strength of the wine will be greater.
A meal was eaten from eight o'clock to eleven o'clock, and then everyone shifted their positions and went to the entertainment room with various snacks prepared by Yanlin to eat and chat.
At this time, just after eating, the dim sum is naturally the kind that does not occupy the stomach, except for the fruits are all kinds of nuts, and there are several flavors of melon seeds alone, what herbal tea, green tea, cream, spice, licorice, plum...... It is also divided into watermelon seeds, pumpkin seeds, hanging melon seeds, red melon seeds, and sunflower seeds...... (To be continued......)
