Chapter 887 "Mutation"

"Is this? This seems to be a pig's head, right?"

"It looks a bit similar. Look at that mouth. What is it if it's not a pig's mouth?"

"It's just a pig head, but doesn't the shape look weird?"

"This color is okay. What's the golden color? It looks good together."

"Can pig heads still be eaten like this? I have never eaten pig head meat."

The appearance of the pig head immediately sparked a heated discussion in the audience and attracted everyone's attention.

In Europe and America, very few people eat pig head meat. Not only do they not eat pig heads, they also don’t eat pig trotters and pig offal.

These things are naturally shipped to Asia, especially China, which is the world's largest purchasing source.

So now many places sell pig's trotter rice, and the price is quite cheap. Because these imported pig's trotters are not expensive, they have naturally become a popular delicacy.

Roast pork trotters!
Braised pork trotters!

Pork trotters stewed with soybeans!
There are many delicacies made with pig's trotters in Greater China. The pig's trotters are soft, fragrant, fat but not greasy. Especially when you hold the whole hoof and chew it, it feels so comfortable.

It's a pity that foreigners don't know so many cooking techniques, and these things don't taste good, so they are sold to Asia.

The most excited people at the venue were naturally the locals, who had many different ways of eating pig heads, but they only cooked the whole pig head and then cut it apart to taste.

But this is the first time I have seen the pig head split into such an exquisite shape. And looking at the golden particles on the pig head, I know that this dish is absolutely delicious.

"Wow, such a huge portion, this is simply spectacular."

A European guest first sighed. Compared with European restaurants, this is the first time he has seen such a large dinner plate.

"This is indeed a bit hardcore, but I really like it. This dish will definitely taste great."

A local Thai customer could not hide his inner excitement at all. If he hadn't seen that the food was still being served later, he would have had a knife and fork.

"Pig head with bean dregs, this dish is made by marinating a whole pig head and then frying it with soybean dregs. Please try it.

However, due to the large size of this dish, guests can divide it by themselves, or we can help. Please call us at any time if necessary. "

After Liu Xiaoxiao served the dishes, he began to introduce them, but a strange feeling flashed through his heart.

This dish is eaten with chopsticks in China, but many people here today use knives and forks, so I am very curious about what everyone will choose.

Should you do it yourself, or let the waiter divide it up before eating?
"Let's just do it ourselves at our table, thank you very much!"

The king's table had spoken in advance, and when he saw this dish of pig head with bean dregs, he was very satisfied.

On weekdays, when performing sacrifices in Thai temples, pig heads are indispensable, and tasting pig heads is also a form of respect for the gods.

So at this time today, having such a dish is very appropriate, because in the afternoon, he and Silena will go to the temple to pray together.

The sacrifices have been prepared a long time ago, and naturally a pig's head is indispensable.

The next dish was fish maw with spinach dumplings. The green coat of the dumplings added a bit of greenness, making this dish look so vivid, which aroused everyone's scrambling to take pictures.

Then a delicate blue and white small cup was delivered. The blue and white porcelain was rich and elegant, and everyone was very curious about what dishes would be inside.

However, Liu Xiaoxiao and the others suggested not to open it for the time being. It would be most appropriate to try the appetizers after a while.

Lotus chicken slices and Kung Pao chicken were served one after another, especially the Kung Pao chicken. When they saw the chili pepper, many people's expressions changed a bit.

But when Liu Xiaoxiao told everyone that this was a Chinese state banquet dish, everyone immediately changed their minds. Even if it was a spicy dish, they would try it themselves.

After all, it’s a state banquet dish, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a bite. You always have to try the Chinese state banquet dishes.

After the oil steamed Jiang Tuan came up on the Internet, many people said they couldn't understand it.

"What kind of dish is this? It looks like a fish?"

"Oh my God, is this a fish? When I saw that white layer outside, I thought it was made of cheese."

"Amazing oriental cooking skills. It's incredible that a fish can be cooked in such a way."

This jiangtuan weighs about 5 pounds, so it is naturally very large. It looks like a relatively hard-core dish, which naturally attracts everyone's attention.

However, in the past, there were many wild Jiangtuan, weighing ten or twenty pounds, but now that the wild ones have been protected, the farmed ones cannot grow as big.

But it still shocked everyone because the way of eating was very different from usual.

In Europe and the United States, small fish are usually fried directly and then eaten directly between bread or something.

As for the big fish, cut it into pieces, fry it and then slowly cut it with a knife and fork before eating, and then the whole huge fish will be served.

How to eat this is a very complicated question!
And Chu Yunfeng and the others did not expect that when it was time to taste the steamed glutinous rice dumplings, some very helpless things would happen.

At this moment, eight dishes had been served. Chu Yunfeng temporarily stopped the next two dishes and asked the waiters to start serving side dishes.

The side dishes are naturally appetizers of kimchi, snacks of egg puff glutinous rice cake, black and white Shuangsha and cold salad.

These four side dishes were given for free and were not included in the contract. Princess Silena originally requested to include them together, but Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing refused.

Today's side dishes are naturally designed to be fresh and refined, completely different from the domestic serving methods.

When serving these four dishes in China, just serve one portion directly on a dinner plate.

But today's banquet is quite special, and there is a problem with dining habits.

That is, European and American guests are accustomed to sharing meals, which means that the dishes are divided directly, and everyone only needs to eat the food in front of them.

But today's delicacies are made exactly according to the Chinese banquet method. You can't let Chu Yunfeng directly divide the bean dregs and pig heads into ten portions for each table before serving them, right?

Wouldn’t it be impossible to see the beauty of this complete dish?

So this is why so many tableware are provided on the table, just to make it easier for everyone to use public tableware, so as to avoid differences caused by different eating habits.

So these four side dishes were assembled on three plates, using plates instead of dinner plates.

The plate is much smaller than the dinner plate, so it won't look so obtrusive when placed in front of the guests, and it is also convenient for the guests to take it by themselves, without using public tableware.

Liu Xiaoxiao was followed by five maids. They all held a tray in their hands, which naturally contained these four side dishes, with two portions placed on each tray.

The same is true behind the rest of the waiters. With the help of the maids, everyone can naturally deliver the appetizers to the guests easily and quickly.

"Here are the appetizers, which are Sichuan kimchi, egg crisp glutinous rice cake, black and white Shuangsha and cold salad. Please try it."

Liu Xiaoxiao naturally gave the first portion to the king, the second portion to Princess Silena, and the rest to the royal members present, as well as Peter and Kailin, as well as the two princesses' best friends.

Originally, the main table of Princess Silena was reserved for several of her partners, but after the king and the others came, they naturally could only sit down as they are now.

Peter was able to sit at the table entirely due to his personal prestige. The reputation of this great educator was well-recognized, so he was naturally invited to the table.

And a diva like Kailyn is also one of the top figures in the industry, not to mention that the king is still her fan, so he is naturally qualified to attend.

The main table is different today. Not only is the table much larger, there are also a lot of people seated there, 16 in total.

"Sichuan kimchi is made by Boss Chu according to ancient methods. It is an appetizer. Egg crispy glutinous rice cake is an authentic traditional Sichuan snack. The taste and texture are very good."

After Liu Xiaoxiao put down the four side dishes, she did not leave immediately, but began to introduce them. She was only in charge of the main table, and the rest of the tables were a little different.

A total of 150 tables were set up for today's banquet, and all the ingredients prepared by Chu Yunfeng were consumed.

Originally, based on the number of guests, 146 tables would be enough for the banquet. Princess Silena invited some more people to the extra 4 tables, which was enough for 150 tables.

However, there are not 150 waiters in Xingchen. It is impossible for one person to be responsible for one table. It is impossible to serve 150 tables and explain at the same time.

There are only 33 people including the waiter and Liu Xiaoxiao, so we can only spread down from the main table, introduce the food to the table, and then continue to move forward.

Originally, Princess Silena suggested that one person should broadcast it, so that everyone could understand what kind of dish was served and which dish should be tasted first.

Such a proposal was naturally rejected by Mu Qing, because it seemed too casual and not as formal as a personal introduction by the waiters.

If it is introduced by a dedicated person, the guests' feelings will be different, and the experience of being respected will be more profound.

Although the progress of serving food is a little slow, it doesn't matter and it won't take up much time.

“The Black and White Shuangsha and Cold Sansi are both unique cold dishes in Sichuan cuisine. The Black and White Shuangsha is made from black fungus from Qingchuan and walnut kernels that fall off when ripe in season.

Peeled walnut kernels are less bitter and more sweet.

The cold three shredded noodles are made from vermicelli, kelp and carrots. It has a sour and rich taste. Please take your time to taste it.

In addition, after tasting the appetizers, everyone can open the small blue and white porcelain cups and taste Boss Chu's most famous soup dish - chickpea pudding. "

After Liu Xiaoxiao's introduction, everyone here understood it very clearly. His spoken English was very proficient and there was no local accent in it.

It must be said that Mu Qing's advance training had a great effect, and the same was true for the other waiters. This fluent accent made all the guests present recognize the strength of the Star Hotel.

Are the waiters at five-star hotels in China so highly qualified?
This kind of service level is even better than Michelin's three-star restaurant. Coupled with the service concept rich in oriental elements, these European and American people can experience what is called oriental charm.

"This kimchi looks pretty good, and it makes me want to start it right away, but today is Silena's birthday, so let's wish her together.

happy Birthday! "

The king was still very patient. Faced with the temptation of these delicacies, especially the sour taste and fragrance from the pickles, his throat moved several times.

After seeing the waiters serving all the appetizers, he proposed to toast and drink together.

Then there was the sound of moving chairs throughout the hall, followed by wishes for a happy birthday.

Zhang Xinran and the others naturally aimed their cameras at the entire hall and captured the scene.

Yu Lili's live broadcast focused more on the overall situation, while Hao Minming only shot one place, which was the main table.

No matter where the subject of the photo was, after Mu Qing saw it through the live broadcast, she flattened her mouth and sighed slightly.

Because when everyone was celebrating, no one had touched the two bottles of wine on the table, they were still "standing" there quietly, no one cared about them.

Naturally, the two top-notch white wines that no one cares about are the red wine that everyone is drinking to celebrate, but there is only one bottle. After everyone poured it into the glass, it has now become an empty bottle.

"The red wine is gone. I'll see if you can drink it later."

Mu Qing was slightly annoyed, then snickered, and then continued to observe. There will be follow-up plans to serve wine later. Who will be anxious then?
After sitting down, everyone naturally focused their attention on the four snacks in front of them, especially the appetizer. Its combination is really amazing.

There are a total of three vegetables on this small plate, and they are overlapped in twos, which looks very beautiful.

On the bottom layer are two long green vegetables. Although they are cut into long strips, you can easily tell that they are lettuce strips.

The middle layer is carrots, and the top layer is celery.

So at first glance, this color combination is also very beautiful. The top and bottom are green and the middle is red, which can also increase appetite.

Click, click.
No one said anything at the scene, only the crisp sounds of clicking sounded one after another, like a wonderful symphony.

good to eat!

too delicious!

acid!But it was very sour, not so sore that I felt like losing my teeth, it was just right.

Crisp and cool!The juice is very rich and the taste is irresistible.

The most important thing is that this food makes people unable to stop eating it. It feels so wonderful.

Unknowingly, the kimchi was quickly eliminated, and everyone suddenly felt that their appetites were like Pandora's box, which had been opened by a mysterious force.

want to eat!

A primitive impulse burst out from the heart, and people immediately turned their attention to the egg crisp glutinous rice cake.

There was only a square golden square in the dish, and the egg could be clearly seen on it.

In the two small compartments next to it, in addition to a little thick black sauce, there are also some fine powders, which seem to match the golden square.

Pick up the golden cube and coat it in the sauce, then dip it in the powder and put it directly into your mouth.

After the entrance, a "mutation" suddenly occurred in the hall.
