Asian cuisine is respected by China and European cuisine is respected by France. It is very interesting to say that the food traditions of these two countries actually start with the monarch's extravagance and extreme desire.

Needless to say, the emperors of China have been in history. Thousands of years of feudal dynasty have given imperial power endless power, so the enjoyment under imperial power is something that ordinary people dare not imagine.

The ultimate Chinese cuisine should be the Manchu and Han banquet! Paris, the cultural center of Europe, also formed a dominant luxury culture through generations of powerful French monarchs through tireless pursuit of luxury.

In particular, Louis XIV, the King of the Sun, pushed the culture of luxury to the peak. During his reign, the French high-level officials paid great attention to banquets and food. It was during his period that the French food culture quickly opened up several geometric gaps in Europe.

In the end, French cuisine became the jewel in the crown of the entire European diet world.

Although the British are currently the world's largest country, with unparalleled industrial strength, colonies are everywhere on earth, and military strength is superior to all the heroes. But in terms of culture, they are really no match for the French.

The latest clothing in Paris represents the latest trend in Europe. The fine wine the Paris aristocracy drank this year was the unified hobby of European aristocracy.

Even the private custom luggage made by Napoleon III's wife can become the popular standard in Europe, and the bag master's name is Louis Vuitton.

Among all the luxury enjoyment, food is the most worth mentioning. The Duke of Newcastle is an amateur gourmet. In his mind, French cuisine is already the pinnacle of luxury.

He even kept marveling at the complexity of French cuisine, thinking that it was precisely because of the French's greed that they were not enterprising and missed important historical opportunities and eventually became the second power under Britain.

But today, Chinese food completely refreshed his view. Not only did the unique taste conquer him, but what surprised him was the cumbersome craftsmanship of Chinese people making food.

"A dish needs to be prepared for three days? God, how extravagant it is?" the Duke of Newcastle exclaimed.

"This is nothing!" Liu Dadao said proudly. "It takes half a year to prepare the whole man and Han mat. The flowing mat can't be finished for three days and three nights. Compared with the royal style, this dragon and phoenix auspicious dragon and phoenix auspiciousness is just an entry-level!"

"Eat for three days and three nights?" The British representatives present were shocked.

Xiao Letian coughed gently, "Yes, this is not an exaggeration. It is a hundred and ninety-six dishes, one hundred and twenty-four dishes in snacks, and three hundred and twenty dishes. The full set of pastel tableware, paired with gold and silver utensils, is rich and gorgeous, and the dining environment is ancient and solemn. During the meal, famous teachers are invited to play ancient music and accompany the banquet, along with the elegant legacy, rigorous and solemn etiquette, inherit traditional virtues, serve the meal and serve the court in the school, making guests linger. After the meal, you can appreciate the exquisiteness of Chinese cooking, the origin of food culture, and enjoy the supreme spirit of all things..."

"According to the rules, 320 dishes are to be served within three days. This is not only a ritual to enjoy the food, but also a ritual. It is very etiquette... Come on, move the chopsticks, this honey pork rib is specially ordered for the guests!"

In Xiao Letian's memory, Europeans and Americans are very accepting the sweet and sour tastes in Chinese food, and Europeans' eating habits are very focused on meat, so Xiao Letian specially asked the kitchen to prepare a series of sweet and sour tastes.

Honey pork ribs, sweet and sour tenderloin, char siu pork... These meat dishes with strong sweetness really easily conquered the British's stomachs. Along the way, the British captains came for free meals, basically for the sweet and sour series.

The pork ribs with honey sauce are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the knife skills are all neat inch. The Duke can easily use a knife and fork to spread the flesh. When the meat and flesh covered with sauce refuse, the Duke's expression was shocked at the time, followed by an indescribable posture of enjoyment.

"Delicious! So delicious! Compared to this dish, our British fried pork chops should be thrown into the trash can! I really can't imagine your daily life. Can you eat such delicious food every day?"

Liu Dadao smiled with a bit of contempt, and thought to himself that you can eat with just a dish of honey pork ribs. You can't find it in the southeast, west and north. If you taste all the dishes in the Qing Dynasty, you will have to forget what your parents' surname is.

"Haha, foreigner, this dish is actually a folk side dish in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It is often eaten by middle-class families... Your Majesty and the Head of State, and they only taste it occasionally, but they don't eat it often..."

"Don't eat often? This is just a side dish from the middle-class family?" The British suddenly became uneasy. The Duke of Newcastle asked with a suspicious look, "What do Your Majesty eat on weekdays? Am I lucky to taste it?"

Xiao Letian put down his chopsticks, "Of course, half of today's dishes are dishes from the Manchu and Han chess, such as this dragon and phoenix, and a few soups are the finale later. The Duke of the unique flavor must try it!"

After saying that, Xiao Letian used a color to Liu Dadao. Liu Dadao knew it and quickly shouted loudly, "Supple soup! Abalone stewed with pearlescent, mussel shrimp soup, West Lake beef soup..."

Europeans drink soup differently than Chinese people. They prefer to drink soup on plates rather than bowls. The waiter divided the soups for both guests and hosts in order, and placed them gently in front of the duke with a strong fragrance and heat.

"Peach abalone and stewed with pearls...please!" Xiao Letian reached out to signal the soup with added ingredients.

In front of the duke was a whole fresh and plump abalone, surrounded by thick soup. I don’t know what the soup was made of. The color was golden and fragrant, and the abalone that set off was even more attractive.

Grabbing the silver spoon, the Duke scooped half a spoonful of soup into his mouth. As soon as the taste buds came into contact with the soup, an unprecedented stimulation rushed up.

"Oh! God! What does this taste like! Too...too..." He didn't know how to describe it.

"It's too fresh? Isn't it..." Xiao Letian replied with a smile. When he saw the duke's tongue swallowing it into his stomach, he knew that the money-making plan was officially launched.

At this moment, these British nobles didn't care about their identities. Diplomatic banquets focused on one dish that should never be moved three times. No matter whether you use a knife or fork or chopstick, you can only eat it three times.

For example, the dragon and phoenix Chengxiang just now were delicious, but the Duke only ate a piece of phoenix tail feather made of duck meat and dragon scales made of char siu pork. He just ate two bites.

The soup and dishes are according to the rules, which means three spoons, and it is enough. This is the diplomatic banquet etiquette that is common to both the East and the West.

But when this abalone-stewed sauerkraut was served, the Duke completely broke the rules. He didn't eat three spoons, so he almost picked up the plate and licked it.

"It's so rude, really... Sorry, can you give me another copy?"
