Mr. Lin Yutang said: The British do not take food very seriously, but regard it as a casual thing. Evidence of this attitude can be found in their national life.

Originally, there was no word for cuisine in English, they only had cooking, and they didn't have the right word for chef, but simply called cook; Originally, they didn't say menu, they just called dishes; They didn't have a word for gourmet (foodie) in the first place, so they politely called it greedygut (greedy belly) in the nursery rhyme.

Therefore, when Li Zhendong saw that the chef was French and Italian, he couldn't help but think of Mr. Lin's article.

In Europe, the French and the British each represent a different view of food. The British are interested in how to keep their bodies healthy and strong. Of course, any nation is in progress, but no matter how much progress is made, there is still a considerable gap between it and the French diet.

Li Zhendong turned his head to the east and gestured to Wu Daniu.

Wu Daniu opened the suitcase in his hand and took out four or five very small plastic bags from inside. After Li Zhendong took it, he opened it and took a look, put it on the table, and gently pushed it in front of Sir Abraham with his hand, "Please".

Sir Abraham opened each one and looked at it, and then pushed it into the hands of the man next to him.

Sitting first on Mr. Abraham's left is Mr. Diego of Italy. The second is Mr. Alonso of Spain, and the third is Mr. Henry of France. It's an interesting rank, Mr. Diego is a truffle hunter. Mr. Alonso is a scholar who digs truffles, and the last is Mr. Henry, a French gourmet, who eats truffles.

Mr. Diego squinted and looked at it carefully, leaning closer to his nose and sniffing. With an intoxicated look, he nodded heavily and whispered an OK to Mr. Abraham. Then he signed a wad of paper that Mr. Abraham had taken out.

Mr. Alonso was silent. Putting on a pair of glasses, he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and looked at it very carefully, even gently scraping somewhere with his fingernails. Nodding his head and watching. It took a lot more time than Mr. Diego.

Mr. Henry is interesting. I just took it in my hand and looked at it twice, and I recognized it. That's right, that's the truffle. It is also likely to be the performance of the first two, and Mr. Henry has already seen it. On this issue, Mr. Henry has no more say than the two previous gentlemen.

Whether it is a truffle or not, everyone has reached a consensus. Mr. Abraham did not think that there would be any accidents, but it was the conformist character of the British. This is the only way to do it.

The traditional way to eat truffles is with a special slicer. This slicer cuts truffles into very thin slices and then eats them raw. Or yes. Truffle slices, butter, and mozzarella are sprinkled on top of the boiled lasagna and water pasta. The French have a traditional way of eating, cut fresh truffles into diced pieces, put them in the beaten egg liquid and stir well, leave it overnight, so that the flavor of the truffles fully enters the egg liquid, and the next day, it can be fried according to the regular method. In France and Italy, it is one of the top European dishes, and it is famous in high-end hotels for its turf slices with foie gras and truffle juice with steak.

Li Zhendong has eaten the traditional way of eating in France, and he has also learned the innovative method of French chefs, who cut truffles into dices, sprinkle them on raw meat slices, roll them up and cook them.

"Please bring the stuff down and deal with it, Claude, is the dining room ready?" Mr. Abraham put away the signed papers. Politely ask the housekeeper and the two chefs to start immediately.

After a polite greeting, the English butler and the two cooks took the truffles and prepared to go down.

"Wait, Mr. Abraham, please allow my people to follow and take a look, we Chinese people are very interested in European food," Li Zhendong said with a smile. Hearing this, Abraham's sharp eyes looked at Li Zhendong's eyes, Li Zhendong did not have a trace of avoidance, and his eyes were bright and bright.

Last night, Huang Deding contacted Li Zhendong, and the British side proposed the location, which was in a relatively remote and secret place. After Li Zhendong thought about it, he thought that it was okay, and it was indeed not appropriate to choose a prosperous and lively place.

If he came to visit as a guest, Li Zhendong's request was extremely impolite, and he would not make such a request, but this was a business negotiation. Moreover, from the beginning of the choice of this English villa, the contest between the two sides has begun invisibly. This villa belongs to Mr. Abraham, and here, Mr. Abraham has the advantage of being on the home turf.

And when they came to this villa, the few people brought by Mr. Abraham were faintly exerting pressure. Making this request has nothing to do with trust, and it is also a procedure that must be followed, representing Li Zhendong's attitude.

After a long while, a smile appeared on Mr. Abraham's knife-like face, "Mr. Lee, please."

"You follow, just watch and don't say" Li Zhendong called Dagang out and confessed in the local language where the Hunan Provincial Machinery Factory is located. Da Gang doesn't even know how to cook, what kind of European diet to observe? Li Zhendong just needed a reason, and when he got there, Da Gang stood like a wooden stake.

Huang Deding was secretly surprised in his heart, has the little brother ever dealt with foreigners?

Da Gang went down with the British butler, chef and others, and the atmosphere in the room was a little stagnant for a while. Mr. Abraham and the others had clearly ignored the others, and their eyes were mostly focused on the teenager opposite. Even Mr. Henry's eyes were no longer cast on the beautiful Oriental girl opposite.

looked at everyone as if they didn't realize it. Li Zhendong just smiled, his eyes falling on the ivory on the table. The tusks are thick and long, estimated to be more than two meters long. It is more curved, the arc is larger, the texture is clear, and the color is whiter. This is a typical African ivory. Because Asian ivory is thin and short, it is more jade-colored in color and has a sense of luster.

"Mr. Lee, I'm in Colomba, Brazil, and I've hunted jaguars in the swamps, it's beautiful" Mr. Abraham broke the silence, saw the eyes of the boy opposite looking at the ivory, and remembered the boy's question just now.

In Corumba, Abraham and his companions spent nearly half a month hunting a male jaguar in his prime. The loot was left at home in England. The jaguar is not very large, and is roughly equivalent to the skeleton of a small African lion. The jaguar's fur is very beautiful, shimmering with a satin-like sheen, and its golden fur is covered with dark brown spots.

"Are there many jaguars?" Li Zhendong was full of interest.

"No, not much, actually. It usually takes a lot of time to inquire about the jaguar, and you should know that only after getting the news can you start to pursue the relevant area" Abraham shook his head, the number of jaguars is very large, but the area is too vast.

In the pursuit of beasts, camping in the wild is common, sometimes for a long time. Moreover, with no small amount of danger. If a beast is cornered by someone, it is likely to rush directly at the person, and in that case, it will be necessary to shoot at the oncoming beast at high speed (to be continued......
