Chapter 490: There's a lot of food here

The stiff ramen noodles in the sea bowl are covered with a thick layer of butter.

With the smell of special spices, little Louis XIII swallowed like a bun.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of France, who would be greedy for a bowl of ramen in later generations and its ordinary, couldn't help but make Zhang Tie secretly laugh.

In the ramen, a little chives are sprinkled to make this bowl of ramen even more attractive.

In particular, the large slices of beef make this bowl of ramen look delicious.

"The signature food of this shop is eaten by many people. And this ramen is not expensive at all, and you can eat a bowl of it, so business here has always been very good. ”

Zhang Tie skillfully took the chili oil and aged vinegar and mixed them in his own sea bowl.

After little Louis inquired one by one, he also learned the same.

Suck! Suck!

Sizzle!

Delicious!

Since coming to Manhattan, Louis XIII Jr. has been hospitably entertained by Zhang Tie, but he has eaten European dishes made by Chinese chefs.

I haven't tasted Manhattan's native food yet.

Today, for the first time.

In fact, every time he goes out shopping and sees all kinds of food and snacks on the street, he is actually hungry.

It's just that he didn't make this request because he considered his identity.

Well, now he's finally got his wish, isn't he?

Speaking of little Louie, it's also pitiful, the so-called food in Europe is basically a garbage thing in the eyes of Chinese chefs.

And the food that Little Louis accepted by Zhang Tie's hospitality was mostly made in accordance with the European style at this time.

Even the taste is the same.

It's no wonder that little Louis XIII was always thinking about eating some local food outside.

"It's so fragrant, why is it so delicious."

Little Louis XIII was sweating profusely, but he didn't stop.

Because he was not used to using chopsticks, Zhang Tie specially asked someone to prepare a fork for him.

It's okay to get noodles with a fork.

Zhang Tie looked at the sweaty little Louis who was eating, and couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Meantime. Sorrow also for the Europeans of this era.

It's just an ordinary ramen in later generations, but it's already a delicacy.

It's pathetic.

"Eat slowly, if it's not enough, let's have a bowl." Oh, by the way, why don't you add some beef? ”

Zhang Tie asked kindly.

"Can you add beef, then let's have a beef."

Little Louis is as good as a stream.

Seriously, the beef that goes with this ramen is also delicious, and the taste is simply not enough.

Although most of the French court dishes are meat, the taste is bland to death, and it is not as delicious as this kind of beef.

In fact, where did he know the Tao. The beef served with the ramen is actually a bit like spiced beef.

And the empire also has all kinds of condiments and thirteen spices, which are all commodities that are in short supply in Europe.

What the Europeans were made in the Age of Discovery, wasn't it gold, silver and spices?

It can be said that in this era, the value of spices is equal to that of gold and silver.

But here in Manhattan, this thing is just the usual daily necessities in supermarkets and grocery stores.

So, in the restaurants here in Manhattan, the ingredients in those dishes are not comparable to those in France at all.

Little Louie was very good at eating, probably because he was a boy. And he was still a boy in the development period, so he ate two bowls of ramen in one go, and drank it cleanly with soup and water.

It's so delicious!

Zhang Tie sighed.

"It's so delicious, I really envy the people here in Manhattan. They can eat this kind of food every day. ”

Little Louis XIII put down the sea bowl in his hand, sat down in his seat, raised his hand and gently stroked his belly and sighed.

"If you like it, we'll eat out later."

Zhang Tie smiled at Little Louis.

"Really, it would be nice if that was the case."

Louis XIII Jr. was pleasantly surprised.

Honestly. Today's little Louis XIII is far from the kind of imposing emperor that later generations would say.

Today's little guy is just a very ordinary, freckled young man.

So. It was difficult for Zhang Tie to treat him like an adult, and in his heart, he just regarded Little Louie as the little brother next door.

"We have a lot of snacks here, spicy hot, kebabs, grilled fish, shabu-shabu, and a variety of local dishes, which are enough for you to taste."

Zhang Tie was not wrong at all.

In Manhattan today, there is really no shortage of dishes.

Although winter has just passed, the seeds of various vegetables have just been planted.

But the winter greenhouse vegetables continue to supply the vegetable market in Manhattan at this time, providing a guarantee for people's catering.

Basically, the vegetables that were owned by later generations were available in the Manhattan market.

There are even many fresh and expensive wild mushrooms.

After all, the forests of this era in the Americas were very well preserved, and there were more wild fungi growing in the forests.

Others don't know the value of this kind of fungus, but Zhao Hongyu knows it.

Therefore, this kind of wild mushroom with high nutritional value will basically be bought by Zhao Hongyu as soon as it enters the market.

Even if Zhao Hongyu and they don't buy it, they will be snapped up by the genetic people of Chinese descent.

Therefore, the Indian women who like to collect wild mushrooms can be regarded as making a lot of money.

At the same time, there are more and more fishing boats on the Manhattan side, and the fish supply to the city of Manhattan is also increasing.

Trout, sturgeon, cod, herring and other fresh marine fish make Manhattans have a variety of ingredients to choose from.

In addition, many of the Chinese gene people are people who have learned to cook, and with their help, Manhattan's ingredients are gradually becoming more and more varied.

To know the Tao, the Chinese people are the best at eating.

In the hands of Europeans, the most that fish are boiled and eaten.

But at the mercy of the Chinese citizens of Manhattan, the fresh fish can be fried and steamed. There are many ways to eat braised and braised in oil.

In short, you won't get tired of eating fish even for a meal, and there are so many other side dishes.

And some citizens of Chinese descent used to set up food stalls and barbecue stalls on the docks of Manhattan in the early days.

Therefore, grilled fish is also very popular.

Especially in the summer, it's hard to describe how much it's like to eat a few grilled fish sprinkled with spices and chili noodles and a few large glasses of cold beer.

People who live in Manhattan like to come to the food stalls here at the pier in the summer.

And for this drink of beer. The European laborers in Manhattan accepted it little by little.

After all, it's cheap.

Although they were accustomed to drinking rum and gin, they could only buy alcohol from the Empire due to a series of measures imposed by the Empire.

Such as two pot heads, beer.

As for the alcohol in Europe, they can also buy it, but the price will be much higher.

Everybody settles accounts, so no one drinks expensive alcohol, does it?

Besides, the second pot head thing is enough to drink in winter. The porters at the docks like to drink the second pot head the most.

So, in a short time they accepted the alcohol and became addicted as soon as they drank it.

And here in Manhattan, in addition to a variety of snacks. There are also various delicatessens that have also emerged.

Braised pork head meat, pig trotters, pork liver or something, as well as all kinds of chicken and duck feet. There is also a food like duck neck, all of which have appeared.

Because the Europeans don't get these things, this makes the Chinese see business opportunities.

Although the citizens of Chinese descent. All were allocated land to establish estates and became the landlord class.

But the hard-working nature in his bones still makes many people unable to be idle.

The estates were usually managed by stewards, and they themselves made extra money here in Manhattan.

Because Europeans like to drink, but they don't have a response to the dishes that accompany the wine.

Therefore, this allows the Chinese to see a large part of the market.

Besides, deli is really the best accompaniment to wine.

The drunkards in Europe immediately fell in love with this greasy delicatessen.

Even now, the shops that made cooked food in the early days are no longer stalls.

They now have their own faces and make their business bigger.

And because they have their own estates, they can raise chickens, ducks, pigs and so on in addition to farming, so they have no shortage of supplies and can be self-sufficient in assets.

If you want to say that you can make money, in fact, the Chinese are no worse than the Jews.

It's just that the Chinese businessmen of later generations have forgotten the norms they have received, and they are only thinking about making money, so they will make their reputation stink to the end.

Even during the Qing Dynasty, Chinese merchants still abided by honesty and morality.

And the merchants of that era were very successful.

It is only in modern times that these ideas of sincerity in business have been discarded.

People just look at the 'money' and don't care about anything else.

The lack of morality led to the decline of the entire Chinese nation.

But here in Manhattan, Zhao Hongyu and Wang Shan deliberately issued business laws in order to avoid this situation.

There are regulations on honest and ethical business, which are included in the regulations.

Therefore, the Chinese people who do business in Manhattan in this era have always been honest.

At least no one dares to break the rules yet.

For example, vicious price competition, and denigration of business opponents.

Although the Chinese people have a variety of points, there are also a lot of bad roots.

Zhao Hongyu and others, who are Chinese, how could they not understand.

Therefore, in order to prevent this, they have been prepared for a long time.

Regardless, it's true that Manhattan has a lot of food to eat these days.

Every European who comes to Manhattan wants to stay because of the living environment here, and one thing is that there is so much food here.

At least, that's what little Louis XIII thought when he came to Manhattan (to be continued. For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
