Chapter 1556 (1/2)
”I said my description was the most accurate.” Francie said with a complacent face.
”No, I think it's more than that. It contains something else.” Manfred said thoughtfully.
”President, I think you think too much. I think this is the flavor of Chinese Spring and our romantic spring in France, because there is a charming fragrance of flowers in it. It's really strange.” August squinted and chewed the steamed stuffed bun again, and said comfortably.
”Yes, there is a flower petal called Sophora japonica. It is a long string of small white flowers. The flowering season is from April to may, and the flowering period is only 10 to 15 days, and the petals are picked today.” Chu Xiao nodded.
”We have a tradition of eating flowers in China, which is romantic and poetic in the eyes of ancient scholars.” Chu Xiao continued.
”Oh, I think it sounds interesting, too.” Said Francie curiously.
”Yes, we still use flowers to make tea or make essential oils. There are still some to eat, but this kind of flower is the first time to eat.” Manfred nodded.
”Yes, elderberry will be used to cook soup and more to make tea.” August shrugged.
”Hey, actually, I'm not interested in this flower or anything else. I just want to know if there's any food called steamed stuffed bun?” Francie touched her stomach and said, ”after all, it's too small. I'm not full yet.”
”I think you can look over there for yourself.” Chu Xiao motioned Francy to look at Yuanzhou.
Since Yuanzhou put down the microphone just now, Yuanzhou began to prepare lunch ingredients for noon. After all, it is still one person to cook meals for 200 people at one time, so it naturally needs to be prepared all the time.
Now Yuanzhou is pounding in the stone mortar with a thick wooden pestle. With the slight bulge of Yuanzhou's arm muscles, the wooden pestle falls not light but heavy, making a slight slap. If you smell it carefully, you can smell the smell of rice.
”Is this making new food?” Francie was immediately attracted by Yuanzhou's new way of cooking and asked curiously.
”Yes, I think you should listen carefully to President Zhou's explanation just now.” Chu Xiao said.
”I can't help it. I've just been completely immersed in the delicacy of this steamed stuffed bun.” Francie helplessly pointed to the empty steamer in front of her.
”No, I think you're just eating.” Auguste make complaints about it.
”Of course, you know, I've been thinking about it since I ate chef yuan's dish six months ago.” Francie was not ashamed and admitted it directly.
”Well, the taste is really impressive.” Auguste nodded approvingly after savoring the faint fragrance in his mouth.
”I think I should invite chef yuan to join the famous chef Association earlier.” Manfred said.
”Of course, I can write a letter of recommendation for him myself.” Auguste nodded at once and said positively.
In fact, not everyone can enter the famous chef Association. Ordinary entry into the association requires the recommendation of three famous chefs of different nationalities, and then it can be approved after assessment.
This assessment includes whether you have won awards in international cooking competitions, as well as your reputation and honor among chefs.
It can be said that there are Chinese Americans in the famous chef Association, but Chu Xiao is the only one with pure Chinese nationality, even Zhou Shijie didn't go in.
Chu Xiao is the honorary chairman of Asia. There is also Fujiwara Jiayuan, and he is the chairman of the famous chef Association of Japan. Therefore, it is said that Fujiwara Jiayuan, a Japanese who knows Chinese cuisine best, is highly recognized.
