Chapter 16 Food and Wine
Chapter 16 Food and Wine
Because the Pope brought all the Holy See staff to see him off, everyone mistakenly thought that Tom was a figure highly valued by the Holy See, so there would be such a high-level farewell ceremony. Because of people's misunderstanding, Tom's value has been invisibly increased, so Shuyun and Tom have been extremely warm and welcoming everywhere they go, and the royal family and noble members have been highly sought after, and they have basically responded to their needs.
So-Yun and Tom's first stop was France. Europe is still in the early stages of development, and there is basically nothing to play and see. Even Paris, the fashion capital, is now in a dilapidated state, with a rancid stench in the air. The streets are full of people who defecate and defecate everywhere. According to Shuyun, even the current King of France, Louis XIV, only took a bath once in 64 years from 1647 to 1711. These things are so speechless.
So Sook Yun focused on the food aspect. In her previous life, Shuyun had excellent food and was an authentic glutton. And I like to research and make it myself, and the craftsmanship is also excellent. He is also very proficient in Western food. But there are some secret recipes that are never passed on. For example, Salami (salami) in Italy is a kind of marinated sausage with rich nutritional value and excellent taste, which can be sliced and eaten with bread when eaten, and can also be made into salami-flavored pizza. It is one of the indispensable foods for Europeans. When she was in the Holy See, Shuyun finally learned as she wished, making up for the regrets of her previous life. As for pickled cucumbers, pizza, macaroni, etc., Shuyun will be in her previous life. Now I can rely on the momentum of the Holy See to learn everything I want to learn, it's so beautiful that I drool when I think about it.
Therefore, when she met the stinking Louis XIV, Shuyun expressed her yearning for French cuisine and asked to learn how to make foie gras. So the royal chef became Shuyun's temporary tutor. In addition to studying, Shuyun took Tom on a friendly visit to the royal couple and the various nobles. The process was gratifying, but after Shuyun scraped the ground and asked everyone for a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, and exquisite handicrafts, the king, his wife and a group of nobles puffed on their white powder-like faces that looked like white impermanence, and there was a tendency to develop in the direction of black impermanence. So Mr. Chef sped up the pace of teaching.
When So-Yun and Tom left Paris, the entire Parisian bourgeoisie burst into tears and gave them a warm farewell.
Of course, Shuyun is a kind silver, how can she favor one over the other, not only to communicate deeply with the people of Paris, but also to take into account the feelings of the people in other regions. So he took the letter of introduction written by Monsieur King with the speed of flying, and went straight to Burgundy and Bordeaux. It doesn't matter what Romanée Conti, Peter Green Castle or Rafael, Latour. It doesn't matter if it's red wine or white wine, since you have such a good opportunity, you can just learn it. They are all the top famous wines of later generations, and it would be a fool not to learn. It's also the season for winemaking. What a godsend!
Of course, the cellars of these wineries cannot be missed, and don't forget that there is also a wine cellar in our space villa. What, afraid that you can't put down too much looting? The place is like milking a cow, squeezing hard will always be there. It's so easy to come back and forth, and if you take too little, God won't be able to see it. Besides, you have to be worthy of a few embroidered handkerchiefs that were sent away.
As for the best grape vines of the century, how can I have two of them. If you want to put it in the future life, it will be said that the dragon is called, and people will not give it. What the? Don't give it now, it's okay, we have Tom. Ask Tom to give the lovely Louis a letter, and if he doesn't, we'll go back to Paris. And so the vines were successfully obtained.
As for the grapevines in hand, Tom doesn't care where his Yunyun treasure is going to be placed, how to take it away, and a series of other questions, as for whether he wants to throw it away or chop it for firewood, he can ignore it. People are only blindly responsible for satisfying all the wishes that Shuyun wants to achieve. As for the response to the victim, Tom has only one point of view – chirp.
As for the treatment of other people and things, please refer to the previous article.
So the owners of the wineries in Burgundy and Bordeaux also wept.
And Shuyun is extremely happy to take the super cute Tom children's shoes to the birthplace of perfume - the small town of Grasse, Grasse lavender soap and a series of soap products to learn, all kinds of flavors, perfume production of course. As for the finished product, there are as many as there are. Bring me ten sets of eight stills.
When So-Yun and Tom left France, it is said that the whole country of France celebrated, and the people felt that they would be left behind, so they celebrated with joy for three days and three nights.
So-Yun and Tom's second stop was Germany, which is close to France. The Germanic people of Germany can be said to be synonymous with old-fashioned and rigorous. This personality is also reflected in the diet. Germans usually eat a fixed set of foods that they think are good all their lives, and never change them. So Germany can't produce any food in this situation. But there are three things that are still commendable: butter, sausages and beer.
And the German people are still quite refreshing, when Shuyun expressed her desire to learn, people don't say a word, immediately arrange, you can learn whatever you want. It's a relief to Tom, and he can be regarded as meeting someone who understands! There's no need for him to threaten and lure.
In Europe today, butter is still considered a barbarian food, and only Gauls and Germans eat it. No one will keep the technique a secret. So Sook Yun quickly learned several ways to make top-quality butter.
As for the German sausage, there is a big difference between the kind we Chinese often eat, either boiled or smoked. They are sausages made from a mixture of ingredients, fried in oil, drizzled with Italian mustard, and eaten in a crusty bun that is unique to Germany. When you bite into it, you will find that the meat is tender and overflowing, and the skin is crispy and chewy, and it is very delicious. It is also the only food product in Germany that can be praised.
Germany is best known for its beer, and Sook Wan learned how to make two kinds of beer. One is white beer, which is dark, mellow in flavor and rich in wheat. It is very popular with people in southern Germany, mainly in Bavaria. The other is from the Berlin region, which is a bright beer, light and refreshing. Shuyun also scavenged a large bag of hop seeds by the way.
After the last, Shuyun asked for a pair of purebred German Shepherd puppies before leaving satisfied.
In this way, Shuyun walks and learns under Tom's escort, whether it is food, wine, or other things that interest Shuyun. By the way, countless national specialties and treasures were looted.
Among them, Turkish kebab is very commendable. This is a type of skewering of large pieces of chicken or lamb to form a large meat skewer about one meter long and about forty centimeters wide. Then it is erected and rotated, and the back is roasted on a standing stove. Then the grilled meat is sliced layer by layer and eaten with salad dressing, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, salad greens, and sauerkraut. It can also be eaten with pancakes rolled or sandwiched, and some people like to add two olives or fresh feta cheese. The taste is very delicious. And this kind of barbecue translated into Chinese means rotation.
In addition, the seafood from Greece and the Nordic countries is also unique and commendable.
While in the UK, Sook Yun was lucky enough to meet a couple of adventurers who had just returned from North America, carrying a large number of top-quality Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans and seeds. Shuyun immediately exchanged a small purse with orchids for a small bag of seeds with them, which made several adventurers very happy. Alas, what an ignorant silver!
Shuyun then went into the space and planted four of them next to the cocoa tree.
When there was nothing to do, Shuyun counted the things that she got from this circle, and it was really a lot.
Salami, foie gras, butter, sausages, chocolate, seafood, and more than a dozen top cheeses, a variety of wines, white wines, and beers are made in secret recipes. A variety of finished food and wines.
15 cases of assorted soaps, essential oils and perfumes. Top Blue Mountain Coffee Seeds. A pair of purebred collies.
There are also two pianos and accordions, more than 20 boxes of various jewelry, and exquisite handicrafts. 10 boxes of leather clothing and leather goods. 20 large boxes of various glass products. 20 sets of exquisite Easter eggs for the royal family.
These things are all top-notch, not the best Shuyun and not rare to reach out and ask for them. What a harvest!
Everywhere Shuyun and Tom went, they were like locusts crossing the border, and they almost became angry. Later, it is said that when they ended their trip to Europe, all the European people wept bitterly, and they were later ranked as the least popular people in the history of Europe. And a legend has been formed, that is, there is a Qing country in the far east, which is the homeland of demons.
And our lovely Comrade Tom often looks at Shuyun with a look of doubt and bewilderment. Because the things that Shuyun looted were helpful, but then they all disappeared, and it was normal for people to be suspicious. So Tom would often weakly ask Shuyun, "Yunyun, where are the things?" ”
Whenever this happens, Shuyun will stare at a pair of squinting eyes, and yell at poor Tom viciously, "Shut up, you are embarrassed to ask, they have said that you will convert to the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, you don't believe it, now that you see the supernatural powers, I ask them to help me keep it for the time being, and give it to me when I want it." Why don't you take so many things? ”
And then Tom would always smile and coax, "Okay Yunyun, don't be angry, I'm just a little curious." Whatever you like, you can do anything. looked at Shuyun's face, and then weakly added, "But you know, we Westerners are still closer to God." ”
In fact, Shuyun's lame lie will not be believed by anyone. But Tom is so considerate, Shuyun doesn't want to say, he won't chase after him. Even if Shuyun's lies are lame, he will still smile and believe it. And no matter what Shuyun wants, no matter how difficult it is, how many people he has to offend, and how much it costs, he will still find a way to satisfy Shuyun as much as possible. Even if Shuyun yelled at him for no reason and lost his temper at him, he would always smile and coax Shuyun. Tom like this sometimes makes Sook-woon want to cry.
And Shuyun, who was originally very old and wise, often completely relaxes in front of such a Tom, forgets her troubles, and is extremely happy. Sometimes they even do childish behaviors that children of this age do.
PS: Among the above listed dishes, Italian Salami (salami), French foie gras, German sausage, Turkish kebab, as well as those two beers and several seafood that are not described in detail, Xiaoyu has personally tasted the most primitive. And Xiaoyu really has a pair of purebred German Shepherds.
