Chapter 6 Put less salt
The next day, when Dou Yitong came to Chen Er, he told him about it.
Shen Yinian also listened to it.
I couldn't help but express my opinion, "What does that person mean that every dish must have strict requirements?" Including how much salt to put in, how many degrees is the heat, and the amount of each side dish? ”
Dou Yitong nodded again and again.
Shen Yinian showed a confused expression, "At first glance, it seems to make a little sense......
Dou Yitong asked Chen Er, "Does it really need to be so troublesome to select Michelin-starred restaurants?" ”
Chen Er glanced at Dou Yitong, "Have you ever been to a Michelin restaurant for dinner?" ”
Dou Yitong shook his head.
Shen Yinian was surprised, "Aren't you a rich second generation?" How could it be that you haven't been there? ”
Dou Yitong explained, "Because there is no one in China, I rarely go abroad, I have only been to the island country, and there seem to be a few Michelin restaurants in the island country, but I don't like Japanese food very much, so I didn't eat it." ”
Shen Yinian nodded.
But I didn't quite understand, "I think Japanese food is delicious, I like sushi!" ”
Especially with thick wasabi!
Dou Yitong still shook his head, "I think there is a very amazing thing about Japanese food, that is, different chefs make the same kind of sushi, and the taste is almost the same." I think it's so boring. ”
Dou Yitong feels that perhaps the only difference is the quality of the choice of ingredients. Or a different level of refinement.
But there is not much difference in taste.
Chen Er picked up the topic just now, "The selection of Michelin restaurants is really troublesome. ”
Michelin turned out to be a tire company.
In 1900, Michelin's founders published a gastronomic guide.
Helping travelers choose delicious restaurants on the go is known as the Michelin Guide.
Later, it slowly developed into a professional restaurant evaluation guide.
Michelin gives a star rating to the selected restaurants, with a minimum of one star and a maximum of three stars.
There are many aspects to the selection of restaurants.
Michelin-starred restaurants will send inspectors to secretly enter the restaurant to eat.
Then evaluate the restaurant from the aspects of the restaurant's environment, food, service, and wine pairing.
"In fact, Michelin-starred restaurants used to use the dining habits of their own country to evaluate the quality of a restaurant. Later, he was ostracized in other countries, and gradually chose to integrate the local dining culture and habits. ”
"Therefore, it is understandable that there are not many Chinese restaurants selected by Michelin, after all, different countries and regions have different eating habits and different feelings about food."
Just like the same mapo tofu, the taste is definitely different between the south and the north.
Because eating habits are different.
Dou Yitong suddenly realized at this time, "That Mr. Lin, is it just to select Michelin by strictly requiring the division of labor of food?" ”
Chen Er nodded, "Maybe." ”
It's just that Chen Er thinks that this process should be more difficult.
There are many ways to cook Chinese food, and it is impossible to strictly control the heat of a certain dish, how much seasoning to put in, and how many knives to cut.
Especially for stir-frying, the requirements for heat are even more unlikely to be as precise as those of Western food.
Chinese chefs grasp the heat is all about personal feeling and experience.
Even if it is the same restaurant, two different chefs will cook the same dish in a slightly different way.
These are different from Michelin's selection requirements.
For example, the representative cuisine of Western food, French food.
French cuisine likes to use wine to accompany its dishes. Therefore, there are strict requirements for the combination of ingredients in each dish in French cuisine.
A certain dish with a certain wine must be strictly in accordance with the requirements and will not be easily changed.
Western food will even require that the ingredients of a certain dish must come from a certain origin and how much it weighs.
The cuisine of the island country is deeply influenced by Western food, so it also has strict requirements for ingredients, even the place of origin.
But most Chinese food just doesn't have such a requirement.
Therefore, in a sense, the cuisine of the island country is more popular internationally than Chinese food.
Chen Er remembers that several Michelin-starred Chinese restaurants in the SAR were a fusion of Western food.
It is very close to Western food in terms of food processing and plating.
In a sense, this approach is also an innovation.
Shen Yinian sorted out the guest list next to him.
Suddenly, he was very surprised, "Coincidentally, today's guest is also surnamed Lin!" ”
Dou Yitong hurriedly leaned over to look.
I saw that it was written, Lin Shaofeng.
"Isn't it!"
"It's the same person!"
Dou Yitong's brain suddenly opened.
He looked at Chen Er and said, "Master, I really doubt that this person is here to find you to kick the gym......
Chen Er glanced at him, "What are you thinking, at most he wants to pull me into the gang." ”
Dou Yitong and Shen Yinian shouted at the same time.
"Nani?!"
Chen Er really didn't guess wrong this time.
Lin Shaofeng returned to Huaxia with the mentality of wanting to pull Chen Er into the gang.
I can eat the dishes made by Chen Er today, and Lin Shaofeng said that he was very happy.
His assistant Xiao Zhou was on the side to sort out some address information suitable for opening a restaurant.
While sorting out the information, he looked up at Lin Shaofeng.
"Lin Shao, I don't understand, you can also promote Chinese food in the United States, why do you have to come back."
Lin Shaofeng was stunned, and then remembered a person he met when he opened a restaurant in the United States.
The man said that Chinese food was greasy and spicy, and it was very unhealthy to eat.
Huaxia doesn't even have a Michelin-starred restaurant, so it's not qualified to say that its food is delicious.
"When Huaxia can have its own Michelin-starred restaurant, it can really be regarded as going international."
Xiao Zhou was a little discouraged, "But, Lin Shao, you have also opened a restaurant in the United States, and you know what the selection criteria of Michelin are, they can't accept our set of ...... at all."
Lin Shaofeng straightened his back, "So, I'm changing, and I have new ideas now." ”
He had watched Chen's show.
With Chen'er's current influence in China, Michelin's first stop in China must be his restaurant.
As long as he cooperates with Chen, it will be a matter of time before he wins the Michelin-starred restaurant.
Xiao Zhou didn't understand why Lin Shaofeng did this.
"Lin Shao, aren't you making wedding dresses for others like this?"
Lin Shaofeng felt that it didn't matter, "As long as Huaxia has its own Michelin restaurant, then who is this restaurant and what does it matter?" ”
Xiao Zhou wanted to say something, but Lin Shaofeng had already strode away.
In the restaurant, Dou Yitong and Shen Yinian were still chattering about the script about Chen Er and Lin Shaofeng.
Chen Er was already rolling up his sleeves.
"You're not leaving?"
Chen Er watched the chattering Dou Yi Channel.
Dou Yitong glanced at the muscles on Chen Er's arm and immediately shut up.
"I didn't open until noon, it's still early......"
Chen Er waved his hand and said, "Then you go to the kitchen to cook some osmanthus sauce." ”
Dou Yitong said with a smile, "Haole! ”
Then he hurriedly walked towards the kitchen, and Chen Er's voice came from behind him.
"Put less salt."
