Chapter 122: French Dinner!
At half past five in the afternoon, Liu Xiaotian and the four of them walked into the cafeteria of the Warrior School on time.
The moment he stepped into the canteen, Liu Xiaotian's definition of the word "canteen" was instantly subverted.
From the outside, the two-storey building has a bit of a baroque feel, but that's about it.
But who would have thought that after pushing the door in, it would be a royal drinking party?
Directly opposite the entrance is a circular dance floor with an area of more than 150 square meters, behind which is a two-level wooden staircase.
Liu Xiaotian, as a former rich second generation, can be seen at a glance to be a pure luxury version of the last century, aristocratic decoration style, and has not been renovated, everything is the same as nearly 200 years ago.
Each piece of floor inside is made by hand, and the surface is reflective, which shows how carefully it is maintained.
The vinyl record on the old-fashioned gramophone was still spinning, but Liu Xiaotian didn't pay attention to what music was playing.
His eyes and all his attention were drawn to the dining tables.
It doesn't matter what kind of wood, what age, what style or what, what matters is what is placed on it.
Each set of cutlery, visually made of sterling silver, is truly collectible.
From the arrangement of the tableware to the arrangement of the tables and chairs, it can be seen that the person who arranged these must have a deep understanding of the etiquette culture of the former Western aristocracy.
It is estimated that the important people have not yet arrived, and the soldiers who arrived in advance are scattered in all corners, and there is almost no communication between them.
Everyone knows in their hearts that before they graduate, they are considered "competitors" to each other and are to be ranked.
And behind the ranking of each of them, it represents their country, their army.
No one will have any reservations in the process.
Therefore, it is better to keep some distance between them.
Wang Yanbing has never been heartless, and he has no feeling for this luxurious environment, so he went directly to the dessert area to load a plate for himself, and then a plate for Li Erniu.
Li Erniu had never seen this situation at all, and was completely stunned, so he let Wang Yanbing pull him to eat dessert, and he didn't eat much better than the five-yuan cake for the cream without any additives.
He Chenguang was more steady, but he was also frightened by this situation, and asked Liu Xiaotian in a low voice:
"What's going on? Here...... Is it so extravagant to have a meal? ”
Liu Xiaotian had come back to his senses after the initial shock, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:
"I'm afraid, this is the Dunhongmen banquet!"
After all, a battle of this scale is not the highest level for the former "Liu Gongzi".
If it was placed when he was still a rich second generation, with this standard and this number of people, he could have shouted without flashing his waist and not turning his head out:
The consumption of the whole audience tonight is paid by Liu Gongzi!
He just felt that after such a big meal, I was afraid that the future would not be easy!
As a "frequent visitor" on this occasion, Liu Xiaotian can naturally see that this is the layout of a standard French meal.
Not to mention anything else, the meal time alone will take at least three hours or more, and the process of eating will have at least five steps:
1. Appetizer
The first course of a French meal, also known as appetizer, appetizer, and appetizer, is mainly divided into two types: cold and hot, with cold appetizers mostly made from salads made from various vegetables, fruits, and cooked seafood, while hot appetizers are mainly fried dishes.
2. Soup
The second dish is based on soup, which is divided into two types: clear soup and thick soup, which is made from beef, chicken, fish, etc., or vegetables, and the fat in the raw materials is removed during the cooking process, and the taste is very light. The soup, on the other hand, is made with flour, butter, milk, egg yolk and other ingredients, giving it a relatively strong flavor.
3. Side dishes
The main raw materials of side dishes are mainly fish, shellfish, and soft animals, with meat as the center, and the meat of side dishes is generally white, which is the biggest feature of side dishes.
4. Main course
The main course is the essence of a French meal, and there are many ways to cook it, usually with about two side dishes, and it is also the longest meal of all the dishes in the French meal, and it is extremely delicious.
5. Snack after meals
At the end of the meal, it is served with cheese or lettuce, or French dessert with coffee or tea.
There is also a wine pairing.
The wine will basically be paired according to the main course, which can be divided into two types: main course wine and aperitif, the aperitif will generally be paired with whiskey, white wine, and soda, while the main course wine will be dry red wine, champagne, and sweet wine.
In short, the order of French meals is also a part of French dining culture, and when the next dish is eaten, the previous dish is removed. In addition to the difference in the order of serving, the tableware is also very particular.
For example, appetizers are often served on medium and shallow plates, and if it is soup, use deep plates with large spoons.
To tell the truth, every time Liu Xiaotian eats this kind of French meal, he actually has a little headache.
Because, he has long been accustomed to the food culture of his country, in addition to drinking until midnight, he has to pour bottles of beer into his stomach, otherwise he will not eat for more than an hour.
But now, he seems to be looking forward to it.
Maybe it's because I haven't eaten it for a long time.
Ten minutes later, the chief instructor, whom he had just met during the day, walked down the stairs with a man who was more powerful than him, but with a very gentle expression and gesture on his face.
Not to mention Liu Xiaotian, even Li Erniu could guess that the old man with silver-white hair was the principal of this warrior school.
After the chief instructor introduced his identity, the kind-faced old principal gave a brief speech and motioned for everyone to sit down and serve.
During the banquet, Liu Xiaotian deliberately observed that all the wines in the whole dinner, although they were not as good as 82-year-old Lafite, were all good wines and were not low in value.
This meal, not only Liu Xiaotian, as long as it is not Wang Yanbing's heartlessness, there is a faint premonition.
After this meal, I'm afraid the next days will not be easy.
Of course, no one has missed a bite of thought and eating.
Anyway, whether you eat or not has to face it in the end, why don't you eat first and eat the meal in front of you?
Sure enough, when the last coffee was also removed, the chief instructor stood up, walked to the second floor of the wooden staircase and stood still, turned around, his eyes slowly swept over the audience, and said in a deep voice:
"Soldiers! The dinner just now is to welcome you to the Warrior School! ”
"Whoa......" thunderous applause.
This has nothing to do with personality charm, the key is that I just ate a big meal from others, and I should applaud at this time.
When the applause stopped, the chief instructor's tone became stern:
"From now on, you can be considered to have truly started life at the Warrior School! Now, soldiers, please leave your seats and return to your tents.
Tomorrow morning, your training at the Warrior Academy begins, and I wish you all great learning! The new revision and upgrade address of the mobile station:, data and bookmarks are synchronized with the computer station, and the ad-free fresh reading!
