Chapter 19: The Icelandic Covenant (1)
"Oh my God! This...... Can you eat it like this? ”
In the kitchen, olive oil chokes the pot on the high flame, reflecting the horrified faces of several other white cooks.
"Magic...... It's like a fire-controlling mage......" The chef was dumbfounded, but his brow furrowed.
His gaze fell on Lin Xiao's face under the flames.
Although he didn't think that the things Lin Xiao made were edible, there were two things that made him unable to say it at all.
One is the fragrance.
A few simple ingredients, after Lin Xiao's operation, were accompanied by a fire that seemed to burn down the dining car, wafting out a strong meat aroma, which made people's thumbs move when they smelled it.
The other is the technique.
The white chef is not young, and the chef of the ordinary small crew may not be able to see it, but the chefs of the 120 million crew are all star-bearing!
Don't bring? That's not good, Nolan can't afford to lose this person, Warner can't afford to lose this person, and investment can't afford to lose this person.
From Lin Xiao's methods of cutting, flipping, and frying, he can only think that the other party is by no means mediocre! And quite possibly a real master!
Food knows borders, but it knows no borders, especially the techniques, there are similarities all over the world, and he is also a chef with stars, so it is impossible not to see it.
"Zla ......" is poured with tomato sauce and garnished with a few slices of golden alfalfa, and it looks like it is seven or eight points.
"Mr. Lin......" Chef finally couldn't help but be curious, and said thoughtfully, "I don't doubt you...... I just want to...... This thing, what does it smell like? Can it make Europeans and Americans accustomed to eating? ”
As he spoke, he stared at the pile of balls of flesh, the smell was so fragrant that he almost wanted to see through the mass of flesh to see what was inside.
"You taste it." Lin Xiao smiled, "I'm not sure, but I deliberately chose dishes with a moderate taste." ”
The chef did not refuse.
This is like an artist, seeing a good drama unfolding in front of him, he can't help but be itchy.
However, the most important thing in Chinese cooking is not knife skills, nor carving work, but fire!
From the moment Lin Xiao entered the kitchen, they were like watching a fire-breathing feast!
However, this feast came out with plates of fragrant dishes.
From the beginning of worrying that Lin Xiao would blow up the kitchen, to the later speechlessness, he picked up the chopsticks without hesitation.
"Zla!" A small ball was put in his mouth, and when he bit it gently, the chef's eyes suddenly widened.
"How?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
"Oh...... Club...... That's great! The chef didn't answer, and after tasting it for a long time, he didn't hesitate to raise his thumbs up, "Strong exotic flavor!" The muscles are not old or tender, just right, Mr. Lin should have fried it, it was very crispy on the outside, but as soon as this tomato juice was drizzled, it was immediately absorbed by the dry skin. The inner layer is a juicy piece of meat, and the innermost, this ...... What is this? ”
"Salted mashed potatoes." Lin Xiao said with a smile: "This dish is divided into four layers, which can be regarded as my improved Four Happiness Balls." ”
"VERYGOOD......" the chef said convincingly, "the four layers, the layering is very clear, but in the end it will not make people feel conflicting, sweet, fragrant, numb, salty, Mr. Lin...... What level of chef do you belong to in China? ”
Lin Xiao shrugged his shoulders shamelessly, "I don't know, maybe it's a stunt." ”
"No wonder...... "Chef exclaimed," exclaimed the chef, "to see the performance of the mysterious Oriental Grand Chef...... I opened my eyes......"
"A few of you." The chef lifted his chin to the next few people, "Put the ten dishes on the table and serve them out on the most delicate plates." Oh, it's your pleasure. ”
……
Outside, Wally almost slammed the table with a fork and knife, shouting, "We're going to eat." ”
"Wally, pay attention to the image." Nolan smiled: "I'm afraid Lin will be scared by you when he comes out later." ”
Bell also smiled and said, "I'm curious, to be honest, we have all eaten Chinese food here, but I don't particularly like it." It's oily, it's smelly, and oh, what I can't accept in particular is the offal. We don't eat that. ”
Wally laughed, "Bell, you're wrong, real Chinese food, and Chinatown you eat those, it's definitely two worlds." ”
"However, do you believe that Lin can make the 'real Chinese food' you imagined?" Lindy joked with a smile.
Wally suddenly became angry: "I'm just hoping. ”
Just then, several food trucks were pushed out.
Lin Xiao opened a small stove, naturally it was impossible for the whole crew to do it, and it could only be eaten by the main members.
The first plate, half a meter in size, was gently placed on the table.
"What is this? Roast suckling pig? Assistant Director Sith looked curiously at the plate of light and recognizable, "Roast whole lamb?" ”
"Whatever it is, I'm starving." Wally's eyes lit up, "I hope it's worth our long wait......"
The following words were immediately choked into the throat.
It wasn't just him, everyone's eyes widened.
Westerners, even if they don't know anything about the East, have seen the dragons of the East.
In front of me, a red dragon head, covered in emerald green, with a golden tail, is neatly coiled on the plate!
In the center of the coiling dragon, there is a huge red flower!
"MYGOD......" Lindy pushed her glasses first, "this...... Is this really a dish? ”
"It's too luxurious...... Nolan looked at it.
"It's cold cuts." The service staff said enviously, "Mr. Lin said, you eat, he will be there soon." ”
No one spoke, looked at the dragon, looked at his fork and knife, and was silent.
"Hey, guys, why don't you eat it? Do you think I'm not good enough? Suddenly, Lin Xiao's voice came, and he came out wiping his hands with a towel.
"Forest." Nolan's voice was strange: "You...... This dish ...... Is it really edible? ”
"Isn't this a work of art?" Lindy muttered.
And the gluttonous Wally was completely stunned.
"It's not." Lin Xiao said with a smile, "The dragon head is made of radish, the dragon god is a cucumber, the tail is alfalfa, and the flower in the middle is a scalded pork belly, and there are three kinds of sauces prepared in it, corresponding to three positions." ”
"God......" Lindy looked at the dragon, hesitantly stretched out her chopsticks, but sighed and put it down, "I really don't want to spoil this beauty, I have to take a picture first...... Ay...... Occupational disease is committed. ”
Before he could finish speaking, the silver light flashed, and everyone had already discovered that there was no dragon scales!
Wally's mouth was chewing crisply, and he closed his eyes and savored them, then suddenly opened them.
"Nope! Wrong! Lin, your cucumber is not your average cucumber! Sweet and sour, so comfortable! You, what the hell do you do! ”
"Soak it in salt and put a sugar cloth on it, it's actually very simple." Lin Xiao said with a smile.
As he spoke, four or five dragon scales had disappeared from Wally's bloody mouth.
"Delicious! As an appetizer, I think it can be used as a main course! ”
Finally, the others couldn't help it. They all stretched out to the dragon body that had been gnawed and mutilated.
But their surprise didn't end there.
Four happy meatballs, spicy chicken, three fresh soup...... Each dish caused a burst of amazement.
"I kind of know, those bastards in Chinatown are so inauthentic!" Bell's face was red when he ate it, and he specially picked the spiciest boiled beef to eat, and others were afraid of it.
"Bell...... You, did you really take it? Wally's eyes were red, but he tasted it, and he ate the greens, and screamed to death.
Bell was the same, he was panting for breath when he ate, and he put a glass of water in front of him, which was already red.
"Shh......h OK. He poured a big sip of ice wine, sweating and said, "It's so comfortable, although it's very spicy, but the spicier it is, the more you want to eat it, it's really delicious!" ”
Nolan, on the other hand, specializes in attacking spicy chickens and barely moves his chopsticks, and Wally makes fun of him for giving up a forest for a tree.
Lin Di has a soft spot for Sixi balls, and she praised them again and again while eating them, and asked Lin Xiao to write a recipe for her, and she went back to make them for her daughter.
"It's delicious." She smiled and admired, "European and American dishes are more important than the taste and taste changes, and it is the first time I have eaten such a rich dish, and it is even more difficult to believe that this is in a small meatball." ”
"I solemnly declare." Nolan suddenly raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Lin, now you are the chef of the Mystery of Heroes crew." ”
"yes, I can't live without you anymore." Wally also joked, "Oh, I hope this crew never ends, then I can eat your food every day!" ”
"Wally, you're cursing the film for not being released!"
"Gaffe, gaffe, I decided to punish myself for eating this plate of glutinous rice cakes."
By the end of the meal, Bell was already sweating all over his face and began to compete with the props team leader for the remaining half of the pot of boiled beef.
After occasionally tasting boiled beef, prop leader Nathan. Crowley immediately became obsessed with this "gunpowder" feeling and joined the small number of beef battles.
"I really can't imagine that the first bite of something that makes people shy away is so fragrant after eating a slice!"
Bell already completely felt that there was no estrangement between himself and Lin Xiao.
He even began to ask about the practice of boiled beef.
Dozens of minutes later, a few people wiped their mouths with a full meal and entered the wine tasting session.
"Forest." Nolan said with emotion: "You are really a decathlon...... It was the first time I had experienced the charm of Chinese food, and I realized that the so-called Chinese food I used to eat had changed too much. ”
"I'm hooked on this cuisine." Lin Di also smiled and said, "But, Lin, it's your fault, what should I do if I can't eat authentic food in the future?" ”
"Lin, you are my best friend, and you are welcome to come to my house often. We will buy the ingredients and wait for you. "Wally's heart is simply obvious.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened.
"Director." A staff member, already blushing from drinking, took the phone, "Your phone. ”
"Mine? At this time? Nolan took it suspiciously, took the phone, said a few words, and his face became solemn.
"Lin. I have a friend of mine, and a friend of his, who is collecting wind in the neighborhood, and if we have time, we might as well meet once. ”
"Who?"
"Ang Lee and Wu Yusen."
