Chapter 4 Classic collocation

Then he looked at the two plates in front of Chen Xuan, and said a little excitedly, "This kind of classic combination in French food has not appeared for a long time!" ”

Everyone instantly fell silent and looked at Xiao De suspiciously.

Xiaode explained with a smile, "That's right, the combination of this classic meal is very elegant, it looks simple, but in fact, there is a lot of knowledge in it." ”

"There are very few dishes here, but Mr. Chen actually used these dishes to skillfully match the classic meal. There is a tradition in French cuisine, if it is a classic pairing, the head chef must personally serve the dish and show respect to the guests, which is also one of the etiquette of French cuisine. ”

Everyone was stunned, staring at Chen Xuan with extremely incredible eyes, as if they were looking at aliens.

Chen Xuan looked calm, and there was no emotion on his face.

"Looks like you're in luck today."

Su Mei suddenly said sourly, "I casually let you get a classic match, with this luck, I think you should go buy lottery tickets, why are you going to eat here?" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt relieved, this straw bag must not know French food, just now it was just luck and blindness.

"It is said that fools have foolish blessings, and it seems that this is true."

"Prince Charming, why don't you and everyone be blind, what will be the lottery numbers for the next draw?"

The crowd began to laugh sarcastically again.

However, Su Nan's face relaxed a lot, regardless of whether Chen Xuan was blinded or not, it was not so embarrassing.

Everyone was disappointed that there was no big joke as expected, but it didn't hurt and they began to enjoy a French meal that they rarely eat.

Su Nan didn't move the knife and fork for a long time, Su Mei keenly caught this detail, and immediately said bitterly, "Why don't you eat it, this is a piece of Prince Charming's heart." ”

Everyone also raised their heads, and only then did they realize that they had just made that straw bag right, but then it was up to him what to do.

French cuisine pays special attention to dining etiquette, and there are extremely strict rules for what to eat first and how to eat for each pairing.

"I'm not hungry yet, I'll eat later."

Su Nan replied calmly, of course she could see what Su Mei and the others were having, so naturally she couldn't follow them.

No matter what they say, they just don't eat, and no one can do anything to them.

"No, this French food has to be eaten hot, if it is cold, the texture of the food will be tasty."

At this time, Chen Xuan next to him suddenly interjected.

Su Nan's face instantly froze.

This wreck, and add chaos to yourself!

If she doesn't eat all the time, no one can do anything to her, but if this wretch is said, the situation will be difficult to clean up!

Everyone simply stopped the knives and forks in their hands and stared at this side with great interest, never expecting that this straw bag would actually force a game of chess that was hard to revive into a desperate situation.

"What does it matter to you whether I eat or not!"

Su Nan finally couldn't help it, glared at Chen Xuan angrily, and scolded coldly.

At this time, she was in a dilemma, although she also knew some knowledge of French food, but this kind of classic combination, she had never encountered it before, and she had never even heard of it, how to start?

"Try it, I think this dish is quite authentic."

Chen Xuan replied with a light smile, and without waiting for Su Nan to react, he picked up a knife and fork, cut a small piece of beef, wrapped it in sauce, and cut a gap in the small piece of beef, stuffed half of the strange fruit into it, forked it with a fork, and sent it to Su Nan.

"Considering that you usually eat relatively light, so this first dish, I deliberately added Zuo Apricot from France, with fresh olive oil fried Dole Mountain steak, which can not only reduce oiliness, but also contains a special acidic substance in Zuo Apricot, which can maximize the aroma of the steak, you can taste it."

Su Nan was slightly stunned, and looked at Chen Xuan with some astonishment.

"Taste it." Seeing that Su Nan didn't move, Chen Xuan said with a smile again.

Su Nan gritted his teeth, took the fork suspiciously, and put the steak with Zuo Xing in his mouth, and bit it gently, and the aroma was immediately overflowing. Under the effect of that piece of left apricot, the steak is fat but not greasy, and the combination of the two flavors is indescribably wonderful.

"Considering that your taste is light, I chose a clear soup made with cod and onions for the second course, which has a very soft texture."

"The third side dish I chose is polygonal snails, with deep-sea fish fillets, and this fourth main dish is a bit particular, I specially matched it for you........"

Chen Xuan smiled and introduced the contents of the plate to Su Nan in turn, but he didn't notice at all, at this time, the entire private room was quiet as if the air had been drained, and they all looked at Chen Xuan with an extremely surprised and stunned expression.

"He's talking nonsense here again!" Su Mei rolled her eyes and frowned.

Everyone also had a skeptical expression, on the one hand, Chen Xuan's words were very professional, and they didn't seem to be nonsense at all.

But on the other hand, they absolutely didn't believe that Chen Xuan, a hillbilly, would understand these things.

Only Su Nan, although her face was calm at this time, she couldn't see any emotion, but looking at Chen Xuan's eyes, they were full of incredulity.

Only she knows that what Chen Xuan said is not nonsense at all, because according to the way Chen Xuan said, every bite of the dish will feel an incomparable enjoyment and pleasure, and the taste and effect are exactly the same as what he described.

"Mr. Chen, please accept my most sincere respect, I didn't expect you to have so much research on French food, even I, a Frenchman, can't do it like you, if it's convenient, we can exchange contact information, and we can discuss with each other in private......."

Xiao De stood up and looked at Chen Xuan with great reverence, as a Frenchman, of course he knew that what Chen Xuan said just now was not nonsense.

"I'll talk about this later, today is grandma's birthday!"

Su Mei hurriedly dragged Xiao De back to the chair, then glared at the other party viciously, and quickly changed the topic.

"Let's all take out the gifts and make grandma happy in advance."

Su Mei opened his mouth and said, originally the gift-giving link was arranged at the end, but Su Mei just wanted to slap the face of a straw bale, and also wanted to make a show earlier.

"I wish grandma a day and a year!"

Everyone immediately said words of blessing, and then took out their respective gifts, the old lady's birthday, naturally can not be ambiguous, it is all some bird's nest matsutake mushrooms and other things.

"Grandma, this is my gift to you, Nanhong bracelet, I wish grandma happiness like the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan!"

Su Mei couldn't wait to take out the Nanhong bracelet, Mrs. Su was in charge of the entire Su family, naturally well-informed, and recognized what it was at a glance, "This Nanhong is quite transparent, it has to spend a lot of money!" ”

"It's not much, it's just 100,000 yuan, as long as grandma is happy, those of us who are juniors are willing to give anything."

Su Mei smiled very brightly, her mouth was very sweet, and she always did a good job of pleasing Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su complained that Su Mei spent money lavishly, but her face full of wrinkles was happy.

"Su Nan, what gift did you prepare for grandma today? I haven't seen you give a gift yet, so I haven't forgotten it. ”

At this time, someone suddenly said something.

"Where can I forget this, Chen Xuan, quickly take out the gift for grandma." Su Nan hurriedly said.

Chen Xuan hurriedly took out a black watch from his trouser pocket, and smiled at Mrs. Su, "I wish grandma a better life than Nanshan!" ”

In an instant, the air was quiet again.

Everyone stared intently at the black thing in Chen Xuan's hand.

"What is this?"

Su Mei stared at the watch, and then suddenly laughed, "Chen Xuan, did you do it on purpose?" Pick something up from the garbage heap and dare to take it out as a birthday gift? ”

"This thing, if it is sold as scrap metal, it will be worth at least five cents!"

"Nonsense, how can it be five cents? Now that the price of scrap iron has risen, such an iron block has to be sold for at least six cents! ”

"Hahaha, Chen Xuan, you are so generous!"

How could Su Mei let go of this opportunity, and said angrily at Su Nan, "Su Nan, you said that you are too, your family is lazy and lazy all day long, and it doesn't matter if you don't have money to buy gifts, don't you have any money?" Are you trying to make Grandma angry? Take a piece of broken copper and iron, what do you mean? ”

"Grandma, it's not like that!"

Su Nan's shoulders trembled, and she panicked for a while, she was in a hurry today, so she gave Chen Xuan 3,000 yuan and asked him to buy a birthday gift for his grandmother.

But I didn't expect this guy to make a piece of broken copper and iron.......

"It's not scrap metal, it's a watch." Chen Xuan interjected.

"Watches? I'll see, what kind of watch is this. ”

Su Mei used two fingers to carry the black thing with a look of disgust, and after taking a closer look, he suddenly laughed wildly, laughing extremely exaggeratedly.

"Su Mei, what's wrong?"

Everyone was a little puzzled, even if it was a piece of scrap metal, there was no need to laugh so happily.

"You're laughing out of my eyes, hahaha, it's a watch, it's just ......."

Su Mei seemed to have a lot of effort to calm himself down, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hand, and shook the watch he was carrying with two fingers, "It's just that you can explain why a watch doesn't have a pointer?" ”

When they looked closely, they found that the watch did not have hands, but the dial was divided into two halves, like two semicircles, one half up and the other down.

"Chen Xuan, have you forgotten your IQ........

"Even if you go to the scrap yard to pick up garbage, you can pick up a piece with a pointer......."

"Where did he forget his IQ, did he ever have an IQ?"

A group of people sneered exaggeratedly, looking at Chen Xuan and shaking his head again and again, it seems that this guy's brain is in water, and it is estimated that he is still in sulfuric acid or something, otherwise how could he be so sick?

"It's not broken, it's the way it is." Chen Xuan suddenly said again.

Everyone suddenly laughed more exaggeratedly, and they almost ran out of breath while holding their stomachs.

Su Mei saw that Mrs. Su's face was already dark on the side, so she hurriedly seized the opportunity and immediately added fuel and vinegar, "Chen Xuan, you deliberately prepared this watch, you are laughing at grandma for being confused, and now you can't even understand the pointers, right?" ”

Old Lady Su's face was already so dark that she couldn't do it, and when she heard this, she finally broke out and slapped the table hard, "Chen Xuan, you make it clear to me today, if you can't say it clearly, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!" ”
