Chapter 194: The French Feast
The story of the White Lady is very long, and if the whole story is about the champion sacrifice tower, it is estimated that it will not be able to finish in three or two days.
Gao Hongsheng tried his best to shorten the story, but it ended when Xu Xian and the White Lady tied the knot.
The story of everyone's happiness is usually suitable for talking about between **, if the story behind is really told, it will definitely have the opposite effect, he doesn't want to use the later stories to spoil the current atmosphere.
The persistent love story is attractive no matter where it is, especially when it is mixed with elements such as the fighting methods between gods and demons, which is even more fascinating.
After a story was told, it was dawn, and Gao Hongsheng and Felia also drank up the bottle of wine.
It usually takes a long time for food to be converted into energy, and a story just fills their bodies with energy, and the rest is much simpler, after a while, the two of them are exhausted and fall asleep in bed.
When the sunlight moved from the window to the roof, Gao Hongsheng and Fei Liya woke up together, and then they began to fight for the right to use the bathroom like a joke, but both sides were very strong, and the final result was to compromise and use together.
The biggest difference between French lunch and China is the length of the meal time, the lunch of the Chinese is generally to deal with a filling stomach, dinner is the meal we enjoy the most.
However, in France, lunch is their main meal, and the meal time is generally relatively long, usually up to one or two hours, and a French meal in a top restaurant is often more than two hours long.
Appetizers, soups, fish, jellies, interdish, followed by barbecue, salads, desserts and coffee. Each dish also has a special wine pairing, and of course the main food bread is essential.
Moreover, the French cuisine is characterized by the use of fresh seasonal ingredients, delicious taste, juicy and delicious, coupled with the chef's personal unique conditioning, to complete a unique artistic delicacies, whether in sight, smell, taste, touch, can achieve the best, and in the quality of food service level, the atmosphere of the meal, more requirements for the refinement of the overall table.
Authentic French cuisine is thirteen dishes to choose from, each dish is not large, each dish is so small bites, after eating, immediately withdrawn, far from the Chinese plate stacks, bowls and bowls, the table is full of delicious temptation, so that people always have a taste that is still unfinished.
At the same time, the Western dining is very formal, no matter how comfortable the chair is, the sitting posture must be upright, not leaning on the back of the chair, and the arms should be close to the sides of the body. And it is so formal that there are rules for the placement of knives and forks, and you can't talk and laugh loudly when eating, and so on.
Gao Hongsheng they eat authentic classical French cuisine, the origin is before the Revolution, the royal family and nobles popular dishes, the selection of ingredients must be the best quality, commonly used ingredients include lobster, oysters, meat steak and champagne, mostly wine and flour as the basis of sauce, and then concentrated, the taste is rich and rich, most of them are thickened with butter or cream.
In contrast, the classical French cuisine is much richer in taste and cumbersome in practice than the home-cooked French cuisine and the new French cuisine that became popular in later generations.
In particular, French cuisine is the same as China, different regions have different special dishes, and even the wine used in the dishes is slightly different because of the location in different regions, which shows how particular French cuisine is.
Lobster, foie gras, barracuda with cream, duck with blood, Marseille fish soup, sirloin steak, cream round cake, and the chicken that is only one kilogram old, and it takes about 4,500 grams of red wine and brandy to make red wine chicken and other delicacies, which take more than two hours to eat.
But Gao Hongsheng didn't feel the feeling of being very full when eating Chinese food, but felt as if he had just eaten a ** full.
That's the good thing about French food, and it's why French women are always so slim, not in much volume but full of flavor.
I ate more than 1,000 francs in a big meal, which is not enough to eat the most famous dish in France, the black mushroom known as black gold, not counting Gao Hongsheng's generous tip, plus the tip, a big meal actually ate more than 1,500 francs, which is about Felia's salary for nearly a year.
However, this feast also completely defeated Felia, she never expected that one day she would be able to eat such an expensive meal, even her wedding is impossible, this is a real French court feast.
Delicious food, attentive waiters, rigorous chefs, exquisite tableware, and gorgeous facilities, not a single Qiē here can be imagined by a Cinderella.
Felia was a little reluctant to be led away from the table by the attentive waiter, and slowly walked to the fireplace in the living room, sitting a little lazily on the chair and staring at the burning fire, she was still reminiscing about every dish in this big meal, trying to remember the one thing that those dishes would be a good conversation point in the future.
"Black tea, or coffee?" Gao Hongsheng sat casually on the chair opposite Felia, leaning on the back of the armchair, and asked Felia with a cup of coffee.
French black tea is different from Chinese black tea, usually similar to English black tea, most of them add sugar or milk and sugar, and some tea is accompanied by fresh eggs, plus sugar to drink, some add lemon juice or orange juice, and some even add gin or whiskey to the tea to make a refreshing cocktail to drink.
This way of drinking tea is somewhat similar to our Song Dynasty before, when we drank tea and added all kinds of messy things, but later in the Ming Dynasty, most of them were mainly brewed directly, as a modern person drinking tea but there is no habit of adding things, so Gao Hongsheng would rather drink coffee than drink the black tea they brewed.
And the coffee he drank was freshly ground, carefully boiled on the stove in a silver coffee pot, and then added fresh milk and sugar, and the whole cup of coffee was fragrant and delicious, much sweeter than the brewed one in later generations, so that he fell in love with the coffee here as soon as he came to France.
"Black tea, thank you." Felia raised her head and looked at Gao Hongsheng, smiled at him, turned her head and said in French to the waiter who was standing on the sidelines.
"Take a break, we'll take a look at your wedding dress later, you should be familiar with it here, you can lead the way." Gao Hongsheng took advantage of the waiter walking away and whispered to Felia.
"Are you really going to buy me a wedding dress? That's too extravagant, so I'd better rent one. Felia excused herself, a good wedding dress costs more than a thousand francs, and the best wedding dress usually costs several thousand francs, and renting one is much cheaper, and she still hasn't considered whether to agree to continue to be by Gao Hongsheng's side.
"Let's buy one, just take it as a wedding gift from me, don't you accept gifts for marriage here?"
"That's too precious, really too precious, I can't ask you for such a valuable gift."
"It doesn't matter, even if we know each other, even if it's luck, not to mention, you and I have been together, there is an old Chinese saying, it takes a hundred years of practice to sit on the same boat, and a thousand years to sleep together on the same pillow. Look at the thousands of years of luck we have. ”
"You Chinese are so interesting, you understand it so well, well, you convinced me." Felia agreed.
