Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 431-Take down the French restaurant level for me!
The tomatoes may be fixed in a mold when slow-roasting, so their shape is more rounded.

There are some ingredients on top as decoration, which makes it look small and cute.

The champagne next to me is light yellow in color, and it exudes charming charm through the crystal clear wine glass.

Holding the champagne close to my nose, a fresh fruity aroma came to my nose, a mixture of ripe grapes, fresh lemon and delicate floral scents.

Take a sip, and the delicate bubbles dance on the tip of your tongue. The refreshing, slightly sour and slightly sweet taste stimulates your taste buds just right.

He picked up the slow-roasted tomato and put it in his mouth. It had a slightly sweet but more sour taste, and a soft and sticky texture that was a bit like candied fruit, which further stimulated Wang Fan's appetite.

In order to adapt to the local customs, Wang Fan brushed up on the French dining procedures before coming here so as not to appear shy.

He had no idea about these steps. In his opinion, the etiquette that some people in Run always praised was just that.

The Chinese dining etiquette that is despised by the people of Run would make everyone stand aside if it were really taken seriously.

Just a pair of ordinary traditional chopsticks can surpass all these Western etiquettes by eighteen streets.

The shape of the chopsticks is round on one end and square on the other, representing the perfection of the sky and the squareness of the earth, reflecting our ancestors' worldview of the unity of man and nature.

The upper part is square and the lower part is round, which is not only easy to hold, but also represents Qian and Kun, representing the outer circle and inner square of the way of dealing with people and things, which is both flexible and principled.

The standard length of chopsticks is seven inches and six tenths of an inch, which means that people have seven emotions and six desires, and implies that people need to control their emotions and desires.

When using chopsticks, the thumb and index finger are on top, the ring finger and little finger are on the bottom, and the middle finger is in the middle. This implies the image of heaven, earth and man, and expresses the philosophical idea of ​​harmonious coexistence between man and heaven and earth.

My charming ancestor!
With this kind of cultural background, Wang Fan will not feel like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

To put it bluntly, you come here to eat, and ultimately it all comes down to the taste of the food.

The waiter came over again with a plate of baguettes and dips.

"Are you two here in Gaul for tourism? How many days do you plan to stay?"

"Yes, I'm here for tourism. I expect to stay for about a week."

Zhuo Qianqian replied politely, but it was just a casual reply. There was no need to publicize the real purpose because it was known to everyone.

Chatting without any hesitation is also a major feature of French cuisine, and it is one of the skills that every waiter must master.

Zhuo Qianqian took a bite of the bread. The baguette fresh from the oven was quite soft, and a crisp "crunch" sound could be heard when she took a bite. As for the taste, it would not be much better than ordinary ones just because it was from a Michelin-level restaurant.

However, if this baguette is left for a day, it will become the best masseter muscle enlarger and a handy weapon.

The waiter seemed to be secretly paying attention to the two people's dining rhythm. After they finished the baguette, they brought a bowl of soup.

Unlike the hot soup in Huaxia, this one is a cold soup made with tomatoes and basil.

Zhuo Qianqian took a bite, and her pretty face was almost squeezed together.

This soup is also used to stimulate the appetite, and as long as it stimulates the appetite, it is associated with sourness. This soup is even more sour than the previous slow-roasted tomatoes.

After this soup, we will get to the point.

Before serving each dish, the waiters would first remove the tableware they were currently using and then serve a new set of tableware. This seemed noble, but it also prolonged the dining time.

The first dish was one that Wang Fan didn’t know how to translate, but the main ingredient was lobster.

A small bowl of cream made with vanilla and olive oil is inverted on a round dinner plate.

The waiter quietly explained the main ingredients and how to prepare them. Wang Fan poked through the cream with a spoon and found three pieces of lobster meat at the bottom of the bowl. He put it in his mouth, and the cream was tinged with the flavor of mixed fruits. The lobster was simply poached, its freshness and sweetness combined with the creamy flavor assaulting Wang Fan's taste buds.

Wang Fan said that this level of attack was simply not enough to break the taste buds on his tongue.

"The lobster was cooked a bit too long, so the sweetness was lost a bit, and it was a bit tough to eat."

Wang Fan spoke softly to Zhuo Qianqian.

Zhuo Qianqian nodded vigorously: "It's not as good as the boiled shrimp made by the boss."

The following meal left Wang Fan somewhat speechless. It was simply because the battle line was too long.

It was just lunch, but by the time we got to the last dish, it had already taken us three full hours!
The portions were small, so Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian looked at each other in bewilderment after finishing their meal, feeling a little hungry again.

As for the food, Wang Fan was not disparaging French cuisine, the taste was just okay.

As for wanting him to feel amazing, that was totally impossible.

The second dish is mushroom cheese sauce and buckwheat pancakes. The pancakes are fried until slightly crispy on both sides and have a strong milky flavor.

But putting aside the ingredients and the Michelin filter, Wang Fan felt that this was at most at the level of Shaxian snacks.

The waiter even introduced the next dish, saying it was the chef’s masterpiece. However, Wang Fan took a look at it and felt that it really affected his appetite.

On top of the white foamy sauce is the main dish that is bright red like chicken blood. Yes, chicken blood.

The bright red color really made Wang Fan unable to appreciate it.

I heard from Zhuo Qianqian that this should be translated as Italian ravioli. The bright red layer is beet jelly, and the meat filling inside is lobster.

The overall taste and texture are good, but the appearance really detracts from it in Wang Fan's opinion.

Then there's turbot with caviar, slow-roasted lamb shoulder confit, truffle cheese...

The seven dishes were mostly cold dishes, and more than half were desserts.

After finishing the meal, Wang Fan sat there in deep thought. How could this legendary French cuisine be on par with his own?

"The French cuisine filter has been shattered, and we really have to thank China for that. French cuisine has three treasures: foie gras, truffles, and caviar. These three things used to be priceless, but now they've become ubiquitous in China."

Zhuo Qianqian couldn't help but complain after eating.

I have to complain. Who can eat for three hours and still be hungry?

She now wants to take a bite of naan to fill her stomach!
However, her complaint reminded Wang Fan that what Zhuo Qianqian said made a lot of sense.

Putting aside the dining steps and services, I'm afraid the ingredients used in French cuisine are just a little rarer.

However, due to the emergence of various aquaculture industries in China in recent years, almost all precious ingredients have lost value and become extremely common.

In this way, this French food looks a bit like Northeastern cuisine in my eyes.

The same reason is that the status of Northeastern cuisine has been lost due to changes in ingredients. The difference is that the ingredients of Northeastern cuisine have been included in the criminal law and can only be replaced by equivalents, while French cuisine is no longer rare.
