Chapter 242: Chinese Delicacy [Ask for Subscription]

Kong Zhendong and Sister Victoria entered the seafood restaurant and found that the decoration here was bright, and some of the service staff in it were indeed Chinese faces, but the decoration pattern of the entire seafood restaurant was more European.

The waiter led Kong Zhendong and others to take their seats, and then handed over the menu.

Because Gothenburg is a seaport city, seafood is the most common ingredient here. The difference between restaurants is the way the ingredients are handled.

This seafood restaurant follows the local customs and mainly focuses on Western-style barbecue.

Kong Zhendong and Sister Victoria sit at a fan-shaped table, and a young Chinese chef stands on the other side of the table, which is equivalent to a fan pendant.

This kind of seafood barbecue with special service will gradually appear in first-tier cities in China after more than ten years, but the Victorian sisters have become accustomed to it, and in other Western restaurants, this kind of service is the norm.

The waiter began to set up the spices and plates, and Kong Zhendong opened the menu.

Looking at the menu, and then looking at the seasoning and plating, Kong Zhendong couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This is probably the current situation of relatively high-end Chinese food abroad.

This so-called seafood Chinese restaurant is at best a combination of Japanese and Korean cuisine and Mongolian barbecue, and the photos of traditional Chinese dishes make people lose their appetite.

Kong Zhendong had no choice but to give up traditional dishes and order some seafood suitable for barbecue, such as shrimp, squid, and oysters.

The Victorian sisters originally saw the Chinese restaurant and had already handed over the order initiative to Kong Zhendong, but found that there were no Chinese dishes, so Victoria shook her head, and Madeleine added two servings of northern Shaanxi.

The ingredients were all ready, and the chef was immediately busy, and Kong Zhendong and the three of them watched this young man's shovel flying, which was also pleasing to the eye, but the soup had a strong taste of Korean food.

Kong Zhendong looked at Victoria and found that she had a shallow taste of some dishes, and some did not touch them at all, Kong Zhendong was not confident in treating anorexia with these dishes.

During the meal, Kong Zhendong talked with the Chinese waiter and learned that although Gothenburg does not have a Chinatown, most of the Chinese still live in a few neighborhoods, and there should be some authentic Chinese restaurants.

In the afternoon, Kong Zhendong did not continue to let Victoria take him to see some places of interest, but walked around some folk streets and watched some Nordic-style ethnic performances.

Towards dinner, Kong Zhendong proposed to go to the Chinese-populated neighborhoods, so the three of them went to the western side of Gothenburg.

The pace of life of the people in the western district is obviously slower, and Kong Zhendong and the three of them found a Chinese restaurant after a little search.

Kong Zhendong looked at the signboard of the restaurant in the style of a plaque, and the four characters of the Song family restaurant were actually written in a small seal, which was full of ancient meaning.

Kong Zhendong smiled: "This store looks quite authentic, let's go in and have a look." ”

Entering the Song family's restaurant, there was no one at the front desk to greet her, and the lights inside were dim, and Madeleine immediately had the urge to turn around and leave: "There is not even a waiter, the lights are dim, I guess the door is about to close!" ”

Kong Zhendong muttered in his heart: Such a poor sense of service is really a bit like the Chinese people in the nineties, and it may be really authentic.

However, the Victoria sisters had a bad impression of this store, and Kong Zhendong had to turn around and prepare to leave.

At this moment, a voice came: "I'm sorry, the store is too busy today, are you dining, please come in!" "A woman in her thirties walked out of the room, this kind of small shop, looking at the posture, like a proprietress and a waitress.

Too busy with a hotel? That's a good thing! Doesn't that mean there are too many guests to be busy?

Kong Zhendong and the Victoria sisters glanced at each other, but decided to try this small shop with too many customers to be busy.

Entering the room, Kong Zhendong and the three of them were dumbfounded, there were only two or three tables of guests in the entire main restaurant, and the so-called busyness was not because there were too many guests, but there were no other waiters in the store except for the proprietress at all.

However, they had already come to the seat, and the proprietress began to clean up the table diligently, and Kong Zhendong and the three of them were embarrassed to leave.

The result menu is okay, boiled fish fillets, husband and wife lung slices, etc., all of which are authentic Hunan and Sichuan cuisine.

Kong Zhendong wants to open Victoria's taste buds, of course, he chooses Sichuan cuisine with a heavy taste.

As a result, the proprietress said: "I'm sorry, my husband's surname is Song, he is the chef of this store, he is good at Sichuan cuisine, but he hurt his finger at noon today, and I can only hold it in the kitchen, and I am better at cooking Huaiyang cuisine." ”

The hostess is also a chef? Kong Zhendong had a flash of inspiration and said, "Is your kitchen Chinese?" I'll order a few dishes, if there are ingredients, I'll make them myself, you just provide the materials and condiments, and the price will be the same. ”

"You cook it yourself?" Victoria and Madeleine were surprised in unison.

At this time, the so-called experiential consumption was not popular, so it was quite strange for customers to take the initiative to cook in restaurants and make their own food.

But this restaurant is obviously a small family shop, only a husband and wife. The man cut his fingers, and the proprietress was already stretched thin to deal with the other two tables of guests, and the guests at this table actually had to cook their own food? That's great.

Kong Zhendong asked the proprietress a few important side dishes, which are not only Chinese home cooking, but also very common in Western European countries, the proprietress nodded and said yes, Kong Zhendong smiled and said: "I went to the kitchen, I don't have other skills, we just have three dishes and one soup." ”

Madeleine was eager to try, "Can we watch you do it like a seafood restaurant at noon?" ”

Kong Zhendong was really a little worried about the sanitary conditions of the Chinese kitchen here, and he smiled: "I'll clean up first, you can come and have a look later, but it's not good to crowd too many people in the kitchen." ”

Kong Zhendong came to the kitchen and found that the proprietress of this shop was a cool person, the kitchen was much cleaner than the kitchen of a domestic Chinese restaurant, and the proprietress had all the side dishes he requested.

Kong Zhendong held the kitchen knife, and the first thing was to dice the chicken breast and beef.

Dicing without chopping is still a test of knife skills.

Victoria was a little shy and didn't follow her out of curiosity, but Madeleine came over to watch Kong Zhendong cook.

Seeing that Kong Zhendong was about to operate, Madeleine said worriedly: "Will you, the chef of this shop has cut his hand, don't get hurt, it's better to wait for the proprietress to finish the two tables and let her make it for us." ”

Kong Zhendong said with a smile while arranging the chicken breast: "I have played in leagues abroad, and I have been training and living for many years, and it is common for me to support myself and cook by myself. ”

Madeleine wondered: "How many years do you live alone? Have you played in a league in another country? How old are you, and your tone is like that of a middle-aged person. ”

Kong Zhendong found that he had arrived in the kitchen and found the feeling of cooking by himself when he was single in his previous life.

Kong Zhendong hurriedly made up for it jokingly: "People say that the horizontal board is a knife. Excellent crossboarders, all excellent swordsmen, look at my invincible side cut! As he spoke, he began to deal with the chicken breast smoothly.

The horizontal board grip is like holding a kitchen knife, and the racket itself also has weight.

Kong Zhendong flew like a knife, and instantly cut the chicken breast to the size of green beans.

Kong Zhendong then dealt with the beef, which was cut even more thinly, and it was the size of a grain of rice.

The first dish he made today was diced chicken, served with peanuts, diced cucumbers and other side dishes, making Chinese food and one of the most popular dishes in the West in later generations - Kung Pao Chicken.

Kong Zhendong asked while cutting cucumbers: "You and your sister are not allergic to peanuts and have other nut allergies, right?" "He found almonds in the hostess's kitchen, crushed as a side dish, which should have a novelty taste.

After Madeleine replied that she had no allergies, she left the kitchen and went to report to her sister.

Kong Zhendong was busy for a while, and only after twenty minutes did he come out of the kitchen.

The proprietress had already dealt with the other two guests, and immediately came over to help Kong Zhendong serve the dishes.

The first one to be served was Kung Pao Chicken.

Kong Zhendong pointed to the second dish and said: "Chicken wings are your common dish, I added Coke, and specially made Coke chicken wings, the taste should be very special." ”

Victoria's eyes lit up, and cola chicken wings are not uncommon in the West. Madeleine smiled, "Didn't you say cooking Chinese food?" Cola chicken wings are our Western dish. ”

Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "This is really unclear, because the method of roasting chicken nuggets itself is not a common method of Western dishes." On the contrary, we Chinese invented the unique flavor of roasted chicken with black caramel very early, and later found that replacing it with coke has a more special taste. That's why we also call it a Chinese dish. But don't worry about Chinese and Western food, the most important thing is to stimulate your appetite and open your taste buds. ”

Victoria lifted the third lid and was surprised: "Egg cake? ”

Kong Zhendong said with a smile: "It's a green onion quiche." Made with shallots, flour, and four eggs," Kong Zhendong waved his knife, divided the round egg cake into three equal parts, and said with a smile: "Eat egg cake, use a knife and fork, and experience the feeling of Western food." ”

Although it is a Chinese restaurant, Kong Zhendong did not force the Victorian sisters to use chopsticks, but chose dishes that are convenient to eat with knives, forks and soup spoons.

Kong Zhendong pointed to the last soup and said: "This is called West Lake beef soup, sticky soup, diced beef dotted in between, like the beautiful scenery of West Lake, you can try it." ”

Because Westerners are not accustomed to drinking Chinese-style water-like clear soup, Kong Zhendong deliberately chose a viscous soup, which has a Chinese taste, but also takes care of Victoria and Madeleine's Western dining habits.

This meal is just three dishes and one soup, and at the Chinese table, it is just a home-cooked dish. And it's not a dish with a strong irritation like chopped pepper fish head and boiled pork slices. Kong Zhendong has put a lot of thought into the relationship between Chinese taste and Western dining habits.

Victoria's anorexia has a physical factor of up to 305, and more than 70% is due to the comprehensive attention of the European media in previous years. It feels as if a 360-degree camera monitors your life every day.
