Chapter 878 What a luxurious French meal
"Well, Jiang, you are indeed a troublesome opponent as I said before. Dude, this is a big contract, and it will definitely not be negotiated so easily. Let's take your time. You are a little bit nervous now. Be impatient, relax, you should know how to enjoy such a beautiful scenery.” Vincent changed the subject and said: “I know, your country’s food is world-renowned. So much so that I have recently become obsessed with it, and I plan to Hire a chef who specializes in Chinese food. But you know, French food is also a very famous delicacy in the world. And we happen to be in France, so we should come to taste the most authentic French food. You know, to entertain you, I have put in a lot of effort. The foie gras specially brought back from the Strasbourg region was freshly slaughtered this morning, each weighing one kilogram, which can be said to be the best of French foie gras. In addition, we also retrieved it from the Alps The black truffles that come here are not more than twelve hours old and are absolutely fresh. Dude, this is known as the black diamond in the ingredients, and it will definitely leave you with endless aftertaste. In addition, there are caviar and caviar I brought from North America. The veal was brought in by air from Australia. The chef for us today is the technical chef of the French Le Cordon Bleu. We also made an appointment with him half a year ago, so that we can dedicate such a delicious table to us. Of course, it is also indispensable. Wine, in order to entertain you, we not only prepared the best wine in France, but also prepared wine from your country according to your habits. It is said that this wine has been around for more than half a century, and it came from your country in the 40s It was circulated. I bought it at a private auction, and I brought it here specially to entertain you."

Said so much by this Vincent, or show off.This has already made the people next to Vincent mesmerized, with excited expressions showing on their faces.For these people, although they live in the West and in the old America, they don't often encounter such delicious food.Their company will not be so extravagant, of course, traditional old American families will not spend like this anymore.So rather than entertaining Jiang Chen and the others, it would be better to satisfy them.It seems that this phenomenon of wanting to eat and drink is not only common in later generations, but also common in Laomei.

Of course, these things are relatively new to Jiang Chen. Although he likes food, he has never had such a luxury.The only time was when they went to work in Europe in their previous life, they came to a Chinese restaurant when they were a little hungry, planning to order fried rice for themselves.And Jiang Chen accidentally saw this white truffle fried rice, so he ordered one.In fact, there was nothing but incense, and it cost Jiang Chen hundreds of euros, which made him feel distressed for half a month.Director Yuan and the others were even more clueless. They obviously didn't expect that eating a meal would be so troublesome, and they actually had to use ingredients from all over the world.However, they have never thought about the value of these ingredients. If they know it, no one will dare to eat it.In order not to make them laugh, Jiang Chen didn't tell them in advance.After being polite for a while, seeing that they couldn't push it away, Jiang Chen and the others let it be.Of course, Jiang Chen would not be able to gain favor with him just because of their extravagant lunch, but Director Yuan and Deputy Director Song obviously didn't know the truth, and they thought it was just a meal, so they ate it.

The luncheon was also held on the lawn, right at the table where Jiang Chen and the others met.And the Chef Le Cordon Bleu invited by Vincent also set up the kitchen on the lawn which was far away from Jiang Chen and the others.This is a stubble-faced Frenchman in his forties, currently busy in the makeshift open-air kitchen with a dark blue chef uniform and a group of helpers.Vincent and the others also turned their heads to watch the performance of the Cordon Bleu chef. Unlike ours, western kitchens are all open.In addition to tasting foreign dishes, guests prefer to watch the process of the chef cooking this dish.For them, the cooking itself is also a visual treat.As for Jiang Chen and the others, apart from the fact that Jiang Chen was carefully watching some cooking methods and steps and planned to steal from them, so he could cook something for Wei Lingling and the others when he went back.The other people are also in the mood of watching the fun, wanting to see if this cooking is so particular.

Because Jiang Chen and the others had a large number of people, and it was an open-air informal banquet, the menu this time did not completely follow the special order of French cuisine, but it was basically the same.The appetizers were served first. After explaining this, everyone knew that this was an appetizer.And Jiang Chen and his staff also suddenly said: "Is this the same as our appetizers, peanuts, and dried pickled radishes?"

The appetizers are served, and there are two large plates. The cold dish is vegetable salad, and the hot dish is pan-fried eel.There was a waiter who carried the plates and put food on the plates in everyone's hands or in front of them. There were only a small amount of food, which made it difficult for Jiang Chen and his entourage who had never eaten Western food. Such a small bite, How to eat.So no matter what other people think, they finished eating in two bites, and then stretched their necks to look at the kitchen.As for Jiang Chen seeing this scene, to be honest, his heart felt like a galloping horse, and his forehead was covered with black lines.Of course, this can't be blamed on them, after all, they haven't seen each other before.However, Jiang Chen secretly remembered the smiles of the people on the opposite side.I thought that we still have a long time to deal with, and I will let you return.

Soups are next, all kinds of soups!This also made Jiang Chen and his entourage very puzzled. Could it be that the French always eat soup, which is too easy to feed.Next time you come to our country, I invite you to drink soup, just drink egg and seaweed soup, to keep you full, no, to support you.However, everyone is still very cautious about this new thing. In fact, they have already begun to observe and learn secretly when they first ate it.Now these people have learned to be smart, first observe how the other party eats or how Jiang Chen eats, and then move the fork and spoon.So the whole process is not that unusual. Although the movements are a bit awkward, they are still passable.

While Jiang Chen and the others were waiting for the dishes, they saw one of the chef's assistants come up with a notebook and muttered.After some translation, I realized that they were asking Jiang Chen how well-done their steaks were.Vincent on the opposite side mostly ordered medium rare or medium rare, while Vincent looked at Jiang Chen and ordered medium rare for himself.Then the assistant looked at Jiang Chen and the others, and Jiang Chen and the others looked at Jiang Chen again, wanting to ask Jiang Chen's opinion.Regarding this, Jiang Chen smiled at the assistant and said, "Serve them well-done steaks. As for me, please serve me a medium-rare steak."

Jiang Chen's words were spoken in English, upon hearing his words, the assistant and Vincent looked at Jiang Chen and the others in surprise. , and the assistant looked at Jiang Chen in disbelief and asked, "Sir, are you sure you want to be familiar with it?"

Jiang Chen looked at the astonished Vincent and the people around him, then nodded to the assistant and said, "Of course, only in this way can we taste the fresh and tender taste of Australian veal."

Western steak is divided into "[-] medium rare, medium rare, medium rare, medium rare and well done" wrongly written, correct it
