2191 Menu conflict
The duke who fell asleep in hunger secretly swore to God that he must firmly grasp the business of Fresh Source and promote Chinese food throughout Europe.
The business opportunities here are really too great. He knows too well that the nobles in London who have a lot of money and nowhere to spend are obsessed with food. As Xiao Lotte planned, what hunger marketing should be done to raise their appetites, it is possible that this spice can sell diamonds at the price.
The Duke of Newcastle, who is a businessman, didn't even have breakfast early in the morning and took a carriage to the East Palace. He knew that this banquet tonight was the best opportunity to promote freshness. As long as the Queen said a word, the business would be done.
Menu is the top priority and must be strictly controlled, but unexpectedly, such a small request encountered a conflict in the kitchen of the East Palace.
First of all, the Duke could not enter the kitchen at all. In order to prevent the slut from damaging or poisoning, Xiao Letian issued a very cruel joint seat system to the kitchen.
Everyone performs their own duties and purchases must support the safety of raw materials. Any food that is purchased must taste non-toxic before entering the kitchen.
Once you enter the kitchen, a chef will immediately receive one of his own portions. The individual keeps his own ingredients and cannot mix them. The chef is responsible for the safety of his own dishes. He can only hand them over to the servants after trying the drugs himself.
The attendant was monitored by the CIA intelligence officer throughout the whole process, and no one could do anything halfway. The CIA even recruited two fast-handed and fast-eyed folk magicians to stare at these chef teams. It can be said that anyone can't escape the layers of surveillance networks if they have small movements on their hands.
Liu Dadao is the general manager, and everyone else is responsible for their own dishes, while he controls the overall situation in a unified manner.
There is a poisoning case for making soup. So when making soup, what is wrong with Lengpin? Lengpin beheads!
If there were two accidents in the entire kitchen, then Liu Dadao beheaded!
Not only that, there is also a system of constables. Xiao Hexin was also crazy for safety. He had long taken care of all the families of these people. If anyone had problems, it would not be a single person who died, but the whole family constables.
The system is so harsh that it is not favorable, but none of these chefs have any complaints. After all, they are all obedient people who came out of the feudal dynasty. The rules in the Forbidden City are even more harsh, and it is not impossible for the family to be confiscated.
In addition, they also knew that the protagonist of this banquet was too noble, including the head of the Chinese clan, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, the queen of Britain, and countless envoys of European countries. If one of these people had problems, they might cause a war.
The Duke of Newcastle wanted to enter the big kitchen at this time? That was simply a dream. No one would let him in unless Xiao Lotte's order was ordered.
At this time, no one dared to disturb the head of state. Doctor Huang Xie prescribed a Chinese medicine to calm the mind to put it bluntly, it is a sleeping pill. After drinking it for Xiao Letian, he is already asleep. He probably won’t wake up before 10 o’clock.
No one wants to disturb the tired head of state for a menu. Even if they want to go, they probably won't wake up Xiao Letian, who is on the verge of the drug.
The duke was embarrassed now. He stood at the door of the kitchen waiting for Liu Dadao to take time to meet him. If this was spread, it would be a strange story forever.
Fortunately, Liu Dadao knew how much he had, so he didn't dare to deal with some of the things he had on hand, and immediately ran out.
"Please pay tribute to the Lord!" Liu Dadao said with a smile, "I don't know what happened to the Lord summoning the young man?"
"Are you the chef? I've seen you, your soup is really delicious... I'm here today to check out the menu of the dinner. After all, it's about the Queen's diet, and I have the responsibility to check it in advance!"
"Yes, no problem!" As soon as Liu Dadao waved his hand, a Suhang cuisine chef ran over with a gold-burned menu. "You have a look, the Chinese and English bilingual menu is almost drawing a picture for you..."
The menu is indeed very detailed, both in Chinese and English, and there are small characters below each dish, famous ingredients and flavors, cold spellings, hot dishes, soups, desserts... There are as many as 62 dishes.
After just looking at it, the Duke picked up the problem. "No...No, No! No, this menu must be adjusted, and many dishes are wrong!"
"Hoops and flower soup? You really brought this kind of coarse food to the Queen? It doesn't matter if we eat a little on the sea, but this is a state banquet. How can this kind of thing be served?"
"In the whole of Europe, except for Prussia and Nordic barbarians who can eat animal hooves, other ethnic groups will not eat them. Don't look at me, I just try it out, which does not mean that I will eat this kind of thing often in the future..."
"And what is this? Fragrant meat? Tell me what kind of meat is Fragrant meat? God, it's actually dog meat. How can you eat dogs if you are too savage... What a cute pet, can you do it too? Remove it..."
"Secret braised fish? What is this? You have to write down the types of fish...carp? grass carp? What is this name? Are there such fish in Europe?"
"Freshwater fish! No, no... are you kidding? How can you taste the queen with a scent of earth..."
The duke looked at the menus with a pale face, and his tone was extremely stern. Although Liu Dadao was a slave, he couldn't bear to face at this moment.
"Dragon and tiger fight? What is this? Can you write it clearly...Dragon meat and tiger meat? God, let me see where the dragon is?"
Liu Dadao frowned and said, "Dragon meat is snake meat, tiger meat is cat meat..."
Vomit... Before he finished speaking, Duke Newcastle and his entourage all started to retching. Fortunately, they didn't eat in the morning, otherwise they would have to vomit all over the floor.
"No...no...god! The menu of these savages is so terrifying! It must be modified, it must be modified!"
Liu Dadao slapped the foreigner in the face with a slap in the face, thinking to himself, why are you so many things? If you don’t eat this one or that one, these are all famous dishes that you choose from, okay? These are the best skills of all the top imperial chefs!
Let’s talk about the secret braised fish, which is the specialty of the Forbidden City Royal Kitchen. A whole carp is cured, and the knife is changed to remove all the fish bones, and then it is scraped three times over warm oil and low heat.
After drying, it is braised and cooked. The whole fish is crispy and has no thorns, and the taste is fresh, sweet and refreshing! Something that has no knowledge is even said to have a rustic smell? This is the favorite dish of the emperor. How could it have a rustic smell?
The most taboo thing for craftsmen is that others insult their craftsmanship. Liu Dadao is about to reach the critical point of explosion.
