C2207 Serve the main dish on the table (1/2)
The queen said that it was really good, that no one dared to have any objections to anything she said. Of course, other than people like Montaubon who wanted to cause trouble, no one present could deny that these dishes were too beautiful.
Xiao Letian organized this banquet to conquer these European large nose in three aspects, not just for this national banquet, but also to curry favor with the Queen. This was actually a great opportunity to promote Chinese culture to the outside world.
If he wanted to conquer the European people's heart, then he had to first conquer their stomachs! This was a very important part of Xiao Letian's cultural aggression.
In an era when Chinese food had not yet fallen into the category of high-end brands, creating the image of top-end luxury food from the very beginning was a great opportunity to make money and at the same time give Europeans a good impression of China.
Duke of Newcastle could not even close his mouth from laughing. The Queen was sure that it was a golden signboard, he could already see the pounds falling down from the sky.
The appetizer is the first of the three elements of color and fragrance, color!
Fine delicacies must look good. The cutting edge skills of Chinese food were not inferior to those of French food. However, due to the vast land and the abundance of Chinese food, high quality food and low quality food were mixed together. As a result, the overall quality of Chinese food was lowered.
Lessons from his previous life had to be learned. In this life, he had to let Chinese food be branded as soon as it appeared in Europe with the word 'high'.
Therefore, the first test was about sex. One had to conquer these foreign devils in order to make them spend a lot of money to get Chinese food. If he succeeded, then the Chinese food promotion would become half of what it was.
No matter whether you still want to eat it or not, you have to put down the tableware no matter how much of a reluctance to eat it. The maids began to remove the plates.
The dishes that were tested for appearance had finally all been removed. Next was the main course, the Crispy Boar, the Shi Family Soy Sauce, the Buddha Leaping Wall, the osmanthus fish bar, the secret recipe Red Braised Fish, and the Crab Wine Orange … There were a total of twelve main dishes.
It was precisely because of Xiao Letian's improved proposal that these dishes had very big changes to their appearance. For example, water, skin, and skin, in the country, were all specially made for the entire suckling pig to be served.
However, in Europe, Xiao Letian took Western food culture into consideration, because Europeans did not eat head or hooves, and some exquisite Europeans would think that carrying a pig would give off a cruel feeling.
Therefore, all the suckling pigs changed their sabers into pieces, piecing together the words ”Blessed Life” one by one and placing them neatly in the large tray.
The secret dish, Red Braised Fish, that Liu Dadao had strongly reserved was also changed to fish slices. Not only was it convenient to eat, it also prevented customers from seeing the appearance of the dead fish.
That's right, the European aristocracy was just that hypocritical at times, he ate more than anyone else, but pretended to be kind while eating. You can't let them have any psychological burdens, so to speak, it was to prevent them from feeling like they were eating an animal's corpse.
When it was time to compete for the main course, Liu Dadao and the rest were all hiding behind the curtains, carefully observing from the gaps. This was a test of their skills, every one of them were sweating profusely.
They were very confident in their culinary skills, but they did not know if the Europeans had the same taste as the Asian.
Not only was it a matter of humiliation, but it was also related to their future fortune. Xiao Letian had already revealed the plans of the Empire of Gourmet to these people, and promised that every chef who stayed in Europe would receive ten times the income in the country.
