Chapter 926: Native Foreigners
"Cards!"
Wu Tian smiled and shouted into the shouting microphone, and the scene was suddenly jubilant - after a year of filming, "2012" was finally completed.
"Director Wu, congratulations." Kiki ran up to her and said with her trademark big mouth.
"Rejoice and rejoice, hehe." Wu Tian also grinned.
"Wu, it's finally finished, are we celebrating tonight?" Cage laughed.
"Of course, Chinese restaurant, I'm in for a treat!" Wu Tian said with a smile.
Because Wu Tian is Chinese, almost all the people in the crew have been influenced by Wu Tian to like China, especially Chinese food. To this end, Chen's Restaurant has also set up a branch in a small town near the studio.
Although the scale of this branch is not large, Chen Lili did not hesitate to send the top chef of Chen's Restaurant Group, so this restaurant has almost become a designated hotel for the crew to have dinner.
"Wu, I heard that when the Chinese crew finishes the show, we are going to invite everyone to have a big dinner to celebrate, should we also go to the city to find a better restaurant today." Jarvis said with a smile.
Wu Tian said with a serious face: "Don't look at the small place of the Chinese restaurant in the town, and think that it is not a high-end place. Tonight, I specially chartered the venue and asked the chef to prepare a sumptuous finale banquet for you according to the standard Chinese banquet specifications to ensure that you are satisfied! ”
Qiqi curled the corners of her mouth and looked at Wu Tian with a smile, she didn't believe that she could eat such an authentic Chinese banquet in the United States.
As we all know, most of the Chinese restaurants in the United States are not authentic Chinese tastes, but have added many Chinese people's dietary tastes to the locals, and this kind of "Chinese food" is also something that foreigners can get used to, at least Qiqi has been here for more than a year, and she has never been used to eating at all. It's better to eat Western food directly.
"You don't believe me?" Wu Tian saw Qiqi's strange expression at once, and said, "I'll let you see it tonight!"
"Actually, what people want to see the most, what you should know......" Qiqi muttered to Wu Tian in a low voice.
Wu Tian only heard it, turned his head and ordered his Jarvis. Let him arrange for everyone to call it a day, put the equipment, especially the film, and ask the actors to quickly remove their makeup and change clothes, and then gather everyone to go to dinner......

There is a saying that food knows no borders.
In fact, the correct concept should be that food is the easiest to break through borders.
In the United States, the most common restaurants are outside the fast food restaurants that represent the style of the United States. The most common cuisines are European restaurants such as French and Italian cuisine, followed by Hijima restaurants and sushi restaurants.
In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, especially the implementation of Wu Tian's cultural invasion strategy, Chen Jiahua's Chinese restaurant has sprung up and began to occupy major cities in the United States.
As early as when Wu Tian and Chen Jiahua joined forces to establish Metshide, Chen's Restaurant had already begun to expand. Although the initial expansion was difficult, it laid a good foundation. In particular, in terms of management and service process, after reasonable adjustment, the characteristics of Chinese and Western food are integrated, and the fast food model that Mi people like to take out is integrated into Chinese food.
However, Wu Tian is not very satisfied with the development model of Chen-style restaurants, because it is well known. Fast food is definitely not a high-end restaurant, and even if fast food can be very profitable, it can easily expand the scale of operation and open more branches, but that does not really promote a catering culture.
So. Wu Tian proposed that Chen's Restaurant and Changtian Hotel jointly establish a new catering company to focus on the high-end Chinese food market in the rice market.
This time, the model is completely different from the model of Chen's Restaurant, but is implemented according to the standards of Changtian Hotel.
This means that the entire restaurant, including the service model, ordering process, kitchen management, and even the taste of the dishes, is strictly implemented in accordance with the domestic high-end restaurants.
The Chen's restaurant in the town is the first pilot, and tonight is the first time that the restaurant has officially opened to the public.
"Wow, when has this place been renovated?" Jarvis was the first to shout.
As a bearded fat man, Jarvis is undoubtedly a foodie, and one of his favorite dishes is foie gras, but he has also tasted all the signature dishes of all the big-name restaurants in the cities around Los Angeles, and he is even a part-time food critic.
"Hehe, you're welcome, everyone, sit down." Wu Tian greeted with a smile.
Naturally, a young Chinese beauty waitress greeted her and ushered everyone into the round table in the hall.
According to the tradition of the past, Chinese food was very strict about square tables and seating requirements, and in the past, it was rude to sit in the wrong seat. However, over the years, China has gradually lost many traditions, and its round table has gradually become popular. Although the round table will also have a primary and secondary division, but after all, it is not so strict, and the older Venerable usually sits at the top, and the others are at will.
Europeans, who also pay attention to seating, are very envious of the Chinese round table, but they do not understand the ancient Chinese culture.
A group of rice guys can be so exquisite, casually filled the seven or eight large round tables in the hall, and waited until the waiter served hot tea first, and then Wu Tiancai stood up and greeted: "Today is a good day for us to finish, it is worth celebrating." So, tonight I ordered a flowing water table in Chinese Shannan cuisine for everyone, I hope you will have a good meal, hehe, you can serve......"
*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ********************************************************************
A group of rice land buns, when have you seen the real charm of Chinese food? Not to mention the very sumptuous flowing water mat.
Running water seat. It is not to serve all the dishes of the banquet at one time, but to serve the dishes in a specific order, remove the plates, and under normal circumstances, a table of banquets will not last for more than one or two hours.
However, the number of dishes in the flowing water table varies according to the region, and the types of dishes are also different.
For example, today, Wu Tian served the food in relatively normal portions. First of all, four dim sum plates were served at the beginning of the banquet, including small oil film, small flower rolls, bean paste cakes, fried fruits, etc., in order to let the hungry guests cushion their stomachs first.
According to domestic customs, these four dim sum are generally eaten by each person for two bites, and the big meal is behind.
Poor Bang Mi Guoyan muttered over and over again that the portion was too small, swallowing it heavily, and the snack was eaten up in the blink of an eye.
This was followed by eight cold and eight hot and sixteen plates. Immediately, the foreigner was very excited, and his eyes lit up.
Chinese food has always been particular about color, flavor and flavor. Although the flowing water table is not as particular about knife carving as some cuisines, the dishes are also full of appearance, and the taste of the dishes is more heavy, and the aroma is even stronger, so it is strange that foreigners don't like it.
But the problem is that few of these foreigners know how to use chopsticks. I can't help but scratch my ears and cheeks in a hurry. Fortunately, the restaurant has long considered this problem, and each table is served by two waiters, using long chopsticks and spoons to help everyone divide the meal, and finally let the foreigner taste the food. One by one, they ate with intoxicated faces.
Sixteen plates are actually very rich, and for these foreigners, they can eat four or five dishes in one meal, even if they are quite a high-grade meal. What they never expected was that this was just the beginning.
Sixteen dishes later, two pots of soup came up.
Flowing water table is particular about eating and drinking, generally serving a few dishes, there will be a pot of soup, through the taste of the dish and the taste of the soup, to form a contrast and stimulate the taste, a good chef through the order of the dish can make the guests eat more enjoyable and happy.
However, apparently, the foreigner thought that these two pots of soup were the last dishes, and asked the waiter to serve more and drink it cleanly.
It's a pity that those guys are about to wipe their mouths with satisfaction, but they find that another dish is coming up, and this time it is a big dish.
According to the concept of flowing water seats, the general ones are like all kinds of stir-fried, which belong to the appetizing side dishes, and the real protagonist should be "big pieces", such as the whole braised elbow, the whole roast chicken, the whole sweet and sour carp, the whole Wang Ba soup, etc., which can be regarded as the main dish.
Poor foreigners stared at the big dishes on the table one by one, touching their stomachs, that is called helpless......

"Haha, I'm laughing to death, these foreigners ......"
Rakuten.com, the comment area of a certain video was full of jubilation, but it was a video about the completion of "2012", Skye Wu invited foreigners to eat Chinese flowing water banquets, and ate a group of foreigners with sad faces.
"Foreigners don't know the breadth and profundity of Chinese food."
"Anyway, the flowing water seat is really tricky, the first time I ate the flowing water seat, it was also this expression."
"Didn't you see? The dishes that Comrade Lao Wu invited this time are not the most sumptuous, we can usually eat for five hours at a banquet here, guess how many dishes there are in total? ”
"COMRADES, I JUST WENT OVER THE WALL AND READ THE COMMENTS ON YOUTUBE, AND MANY FOREIGNERS SAID THAT CHINESE FOOD IS TOO WASTEFUL......"
"They know a fart, how much is this meal? It's a lot cheaper than what they call a French meal, okay? And this kind of consumption is a demand stimulus for upstream and downstream channels, activating the economy! ”
"What I said upstairs is a crooked reason, and the appraisal is complete."
"Over the wall, why don't you say that many foreigners are curious, isn't Chinese food only dumplings and noodles, there are so many exquisite dishes. They all shouted to ask where Skye Wu was having a treat. ”
"yes, where is Skye Wu? It won't be a charter flight to pull the crew back to China for a big dinner, right? ”
"Hehe, I have inside information, Skye Wu is going to open a high-end Chinese restaurant in the United States, this treat, including the spread of this video, is obviously a careful hype, to advertise his new restaurant."
"If you do it well, you should let foreigners know that the best food in the world is in China, what French snails, foie gras, what little devil's sashimi, kimchi on the stick, and even the heels of Chinese dinner can't compare!"
"Support Skye Wu to open a restaurant, but he is going to open a restaurant in the United States, will he come back to film?"
"Cut, it's going to be 2012 soon, it doesn't matter if he's in the United States or going back to China! It's better to take advantage of the end of the world before it comes, hurry up and masturbate again......"
