Li Jincheng prepared French dishes for all the guests who participated in the shooting at the ball. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, the time for French people to eat a big meal is generally after eight o'clock, or even later, but today because it is almost midnight, considering that many celebrities here may have an itinerary the next day, they cannot choose the traditional thirteen dishes, so they only prepare five dishes.

Chef Pikwa was loaned from Qu Xiaofei's family and worked at a three-Michelin-starred restaurant.

The Michelin Guide is known for its neutral and reliable reviews, with three stars for restaurants that are "worth a special trip" to visit, with delicious food that will never be forgotten, and are said to be worth a special trip to eat.

Rating a star, especially a three-star restaurant, is an infinite beauty, infinite glory and a lot of money for a restaurant and a chef.

Having worked in a three-star restaurant does not necessarily mean that the chef himself is a three-star Michelin chef, and this subtle difference is not likely to be noticed by many people.

The dining room is comfortable and gorgeous, with soft lighting, soft music, silver and white knives and forks, and exquisite and elegant tableware, sweeping away the gloomy atmosphere of Halloween throughout the evening.

The appetizer was a vegetable salad, which saved Li Jiaran, whose taste buds had been devastated just now, and at the same time raised everyone's appetite.

The French style of sorting is customary to put the host in the center of the table, Zhou Tianna's seat is next to Gu Chen, which belongs to the treatment of the hostess, and the rest of the guests decide how far away from the host is according to their status and importance.

Qu Xiaofei and An Yang sat together in the corner of the table, which was originally Li Jincheng's special arrangement for the two of them to have more space for themselves, but Miss Qu only felt despised now.

The main course is pan-fried foie gras with figs, which is the chef's best recommendation, and the whole Hungarian foie gras has been delicately processed, removing fascia and blood vessels, and fried in olive oil until browned on both sides, and inlaid in half figs.

Only Zhou Tianna didn't use a knife and fork much, she had learned that the way to obtain this foie gras was quite cruel, which made her not very appetizing.

Huang Lei, who happened to be sitting next to her, was a gourmand and liked to preach, so when he saw that she didn't eat, he casually persuaded her: "Xiao Zhou, you can eat a little foie gras, foie gras, truffle, and caviar are the three top ingredients in French cuisine, it's a pity not to eat it." ”

He said this out of good intentions, but it invisibly attracted the attention of the people around him, and Li Jincheng, who was exquisite, said diligently: "There is also steak, if you don't like to eat it, you can serve it." ”

Qu Xiaofei, who noticed this scene, seized the opportunity and said with a gentle smile: "Isn't it not used to using knives and forks, and steak is not good for laymen, I remember that Pikwa specially prepared beluga caviar for me, let it be given to her." Although she said it cordially and tactfully, it actually implied that the other party didn't know how to appreciate it, and she hadn't seen the world.

In fact, Zhou Tianna was once forced by the system to instill the table etiquette of eating French food, sitting in a dignified and elegant posture, with her feet together, and her knees slightly tilted in the direction of Gu Chen, which made it seem that the two were very gentle and sweet, even Qu Xiaofei, who had been instructed by someone in her manners, could not find any flaws, but unfortunately, the more this was the case, the more she wanted to debunk the essence of the other party's Cinderella, so as to find some sense of superiority.

It was impossible for Zhou Tianna not to hear the malice in her words, she raised her eyes and glanced at Qu Xiaofei, and said without humility or arrogance: "Thank you for bothering." I prefer to eat steak. If she retorts-for-tat, it's no wonder that some people read the joke. Now it's okay to answer politely like this, but I've been a little wronged.

Gu Chen obviously didn't intend to let her suffer this grievance, and said directly: "Recently, I've been studying French cuisine, and I guess she is tired of eating foie gras, so she doesn't think it's very appetizing." With that, he turned his head and asked the waiter to give him another steak.

He smiled lightly, but his mind was agitating the system: "The authority of the host has been provoked, what do you think?" ”

Stimulated, the system master was in a big mood and quickly released a task: "Make a fried foie gras with figs to defeat the French chef, and the task reward: magic soup bowl." ”

Sure enough, Qu Xiaofei was even more angry when she heard Gu Chen's words, and said provocatively: "I didn't expect Brother Gu Chen, your skills are so good, even better than a three-star Michelin chef, why don't you show us?" As soon as she said this, the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, everyone could see that Gu Chen was defending her girlfriend, she was so deliberately making things difficult, obviously wanting the other party not to get off the stage.

Huang Xiaoming had a good relationship with her father Qu Bojian, and said without a trace: "Everyone is very tired today, let's try Gu Chen's craftsmanship another day, and you must call me when the time comes." He said this, secretly shaking his head in his heart, Qu Xiaofei's aggressiveness.

Gu Chen Shi Ran stood up and said, "It's okay, I originally prepared foie gras and planned to invite everyone to eat, but this is rude to Chef Pikwa, so you might as well invite him to eat it later." ”

Zhou Tianna stood up and said, "I'll also be absent and help him deal with the ingredients, it's too late, try to let everyone eat early." ”

The foie gras used by Pikova is to use a cage that cannot turn around to jam the goose's head, and the goose that cannot exercise every day has its food directly inserted into the esophagus from the goose's beak with a high-pressure cannula, and the liver has increased abnormally in size due to overload, which has resulted in fatty foie gras.

The foie gras provided by the system is a selection of Strasbourg geese, which are large enough to be carefully selected for their natural gluttonous fat geese.

Knowing that someone challenged him, Pikova observed a detail next to him, and was secretly happy, fig foie gras is his most proud specialty dish, although his professional ethics as a chef made him not comment on what was really delicious, but he was relieved to see that the foie gras prepared by the other party was not a perfect light yellow, but a pale pinkish-purple color.

The color of the foie gras proved that the blood contained in it was too heavy, and it would have a faint fishy smell when it was made, and he did not intend to remind the two young Orientals, but planned to make corrections when he tasted them later, so as to show his authority.

Zhou Tianna quietly handled the ingredients, she knew that Gu Chen wanted him to lose even more if he was to make a name for himself, but after all, the process of obtaining the delicious foie gras provided by the system was not so miserable, and the plump and fatty taste might be slightly inferior, and the odds would be worse without the help of the ability.
