Chapter 779: The Mother of Western Food
(Thanks to my friend Xiao Demon's love and encouragement, wow)
"Let's come here this time, let's try what authentic pasta tastes like." After coming to the hotel, Liu Yunxuan said happily.
Michelle shook her head amusedly, one eats and the other plays, these are the two major themes in Liu Yunxuan's life. However, you can enjoy authentic Italian cuisine here.
Ancona is also an ancient city, full of Gothic buildings, so Liu Yunxuan asked yì to find a small local restaurant and taste the local taste.
"Yun Xuan, let me ask you a question, do you know which country Western food originated from?" On the way to the restaurant, Michelle asked with a smile.
"You're not telling me that Western food originated in Italy, are you?" Liu Yunxuan asked with some surprise. Although he really doesn't know, combined with the current situation, it should be the same.
"Count it as eye-catching, Western food did originate in Italy." Michelle nodded and said.
"Isn't it, is it really here? Actually, I want to say that I came from France, don't I always say French food? Liu Yunxuan really didn't expect that Italy would have such an important position in the Western food industry.
"I know you're blind." Michelle glanced at Liu Yunxuan and said, "Since the construction of the city of Rome in 753 BC, the advanced ancient Roman civilization has developed, thus becoming the political, economic, and cultural center of Europe at that time. ”
"Just because of this, they vigorously promote Western food?" Liu Yunxuan asked with some curiosity.
"Did you listen to me?" Michelle glanced at Liu Yunxuan and said. This person is not well-behaved now, and he always interjects.
was criticized by Michelle, and Liu Yunxuan had to listen honestly. The sky is big, and the wife and children are the biggest. In a hurry, he didn't want to sleep on the couch in a foreign country.
"At that time, the princes and nobles did not show their status by the amount of money, but by the fact that they had excellent cooks to show their status and power. And to honor and honor it. Seeing that Liu Yunxuan was honest, Michelle continued.
Therefore, those people in the lower class think that as long as they have superb cooking skills, they will have the opportunity to step into the upper class, so they are permeated with the joy of culinary research and development throughout the country. The development of the catering industry has made great strides and has affected most of Europe, and it is known as the 'mother of continental cuisine'".
"It can also be said that these current Western cuisines were developed on the basis of that time, but in recent years, the fame of French cuisine has been relatively large, and Italian cuisine has been overshadowed."
Listening to Michelle's explanation, let alone Liu Yunxuan. Even Charlie and Jack admired it. This proprietress didn't say anything, and she really deserves to be called a "mobile encyclopedia" by Liu Yunxuan.
"Pap, pap, pap," Michelle just finished speaking, and the sound of applause came from her side.
"This beautiful lady is right that not many people know about this history anymore, and more people talk about the taste of French cuisine. I don't know if you can enjoy it, but come to my little shop and eat for free, and I will cook the purest Italian food for you. Liu Yunxuan and the others turned sideways and followed the sound to look, and saw an old man in his fifties standing in front of a small restaurant on the side.
If Liu Yunxuan praised it, Michelle would naturally accept it properly, but she was also a little embarrassed when outsiders heard it.
Liu Yunxuan looked at it. The small restaurant should have been around for some years, and there are a lot of diners in it, so it seems that the business is not bad.
"Thank you, as long as it allows us to taste authentic Italian food." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.
He didn't expect Michelle's words to let everyone mix up a free Italian meal, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, the main thing is that it is also a fun thing.
When he came to the small restaurant, Liu Yunxuan found that this store was estimated to be some years old. The tables, chairs and benches inside are a bit old, and this is not an old decoration style. Rather, it has the accumulation of years.
"It's been around for decades, and it's still the same as when my father took over and renovated it. I wasn't even born at that time. The boss smiled and introduced.
Liu Yunxuan heard that this store was really old enough, and he could be regarded as seeing the humor of Italians.
"Distinguished guests, do you have any favorite dishes?" The boss asked.
"Or you can recommend it for us, there are not too many dishes, just enough to eat, we just want to taste the taste." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile. The boss of the house treats you. You can't just grab the cheap stuff and eat the seastuffs.
"Well, I recommend you a seafood salad, beef tenderloin, macaroni and dessert." The boss thought for a moment and said with a smile.
"These are really representative of the style of Italian cuisine, where they do more seafood than meat. And the specialty of the Chinese cuisine, Dosnican beef, is also very good. Michelle said as she waited.
Hearing Michelle's explanation, Liu Yunxuan's face was full of pride. Look, this is our daughter-in-law. It's a cow, and understanding is more.
"Charlie, you've got to work hard, you're the only one of us who is single now. In two years, our family will be able to make soy sauce. Liu Yunxuan turned his head to look at Charlie and said with a smile.
Although Charlie didn't know the potential meaning of this dozen soy sauces, he could probably guess it. He was also a little helpless about this, and he had been asked about it a lot by everyone during this time.
Because it was not the peak season for dining, the boss was very fast, and the first three dishes were served in a flowing manner after a while. Each person also received two glasses of wine, one white and one red.
After thanking the boss, everyone also began to eat. Although this is authentic Italian cuisine, and Italian cuisine has a high status in the Western food world. However, Liu Yunxuan's mouths were all raised, and after tasting them carefully, they didn't taste anything particularly delicious. It was the seafood salad that made Liu Yunxuan eat very refreshingly.
I can't help it, I eat the products in the pasture every day, and now I taste the food outside, and I always feel that there is one less taste.
But this is also a piece of kindness from the boss, Liu Yunxuan and they also said some compliments, and when they went out, they also took a photo with the boss, which was kept as a souvenir.
"Hey, what can I do in the future, I'm afraid I'm less and less interested in those ingredients outside." After leaving, Liu Yunxuan said with a little distress.
"I can still eat it, so don't be so picky." Michelle looked at Liu Yunxuan and said angrily. said that it was average, but I didn't see him eat less, and he ate every dish cleanly.
"Charlie, how is our fishing company doing now?" After returning to the hotel, Liu Yunxuan asked.
"It's still okay to look at the number now, and the yield of fishing in the open sea is also very high, so we don't have to worry about sales." Charlie said with a smile, "This year, we will go fishing again, and the farmed lobsters and scallops will also be available for sale." ”
The fishing company is a cooperative company, and Charlie and they don't know much about it. also followed Liu Yunxuan's arrangement, but did a good job in the supervision of the accounts, and the rest of the things were done by Ah Yong.
Liu Yunxuan nodded after hearing this. The aquatic field is unfamiliar to him, and if Ah Yong can take care of it well, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore, as long as he can see the benefits every year in the future.
"What about our furniture company? How's the preparation going? Liu Yunxuan asked again.
Anyway, this matter has been in operation for a long time, but it has not been officially established yet, and he also wants to know about it.
"The furniture company is almost ready now, and the only hesitation is the location." After a moment, he said, "What we mean here is that we want to put the furniture company in Andy's Ranch, and your friend's idea is to put the ranch in Pennsylvania. ”
"Why did you choose Pennsylvania?" Liu Yunxuan asked with some curiosity.
In Andy's Ranch, the conditions are easy to get, and there is a site to have a site, and there must be a supporting facility. I haven't been to Pennsylvania myself, and if I do, I'll have to start all over again.
"Actually, your friend's idea is also very reasonable." Charlie said with a smile, "He thinks that since you want to build a top furniture company in the future, it is best to do it in one step." ”
"Red oak in Pennsylvania is known as an oak royalty, and it is also very popular in the market. If it is built in Pennsylvania, it also has certain advantages in terms of material selection and sales. ”
Hearing Charlie say this, Liu Yunxuan can be regarded as understanding. If you build in Andy's Ranch, the advantage is to save time, effort, and money, if you build in Pennsylvania it's to lay the foundation for the future, but it costs more effort and money.
Whether in China or the United States, consumers' psychology also considers whether some things are produced in the country of origin.
If furniture companies want to compete for a first-class position in the market in the future, this red oak zuò furniture that Charlie just mentioned is also indispensable.
"Can't this red oak be planted on our pasture?" Liu Yunxuan thought about it for a moment and asked.
"Even if it's planted, it won't be as good as the Pennsylvania side." Charlie shook his head and said, "The reason why the red oak over there is famous is also related to the local climate conditions. These red oaks have been tempered by centuries of cold wind, resulting in their unique vertical stripes and delicate natural colour. ”
"Because the materials are all from hundreds to thousands of years, even if we find a similar environment to grow in, it will be difficult to generate profits."
"Hey, let's see when the time comes, if Qiuqiu insists on doing it according to his ideas, it's just a matter of investing more." Liu Yunxuan said after thinking about it for a while.
This is also an objectively unsolvable problem. It's not like you can grow it after 30 or 50 years, and you won't be able to become it after a few hundred years. (To be continued......)
