Make your face white with moonlight [Quick Transmigration]

Almost at the moment of entrance, the fat-melting fish melted in the mouth.The soup of bamboo shoots and shiitake mushrooms brings out the most delicious taste of anchovies. When the tip of the tongue is lightly sipped, the fish rolls down the throat smoothly, smooth and boneless, with a tantalizing flavor Fragrant.

The Prime Minister narrowed his eyes slightly in enjoyment, while the assistant next to him watched quietly, and was taken aback.A leader's eye movement may be interpreted too much by the media or even foreign intelligence agencies. The higher the position and weight, the more unruly, especially in China. There are very few "dramatic" leaders from other countries. The audience expresses astonishment or delighted expressions at every turn.First, it looks solemn and reflects the image of a big country. Second, it tries to prevent others from reading any information from the expression.However, as an assistant, he naturally understood the expression on the Prime Minister's face. At this moment, the old man can show such a satisfied attitude. This meal is already exquisite and outstanding, which is enough to give him a very high praise.

One oxtail and one shad.There are also stewed squab with bad smell, snowflake chicken with hibiscus, abalone with dragon head and fish body, three delicacies stuffed with bamboo fungus, orange stuffed with crab from Southern Song Dynasty, and fried prawns with fish flavor.

Flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, everything is included.

Just look at the exquisite dishes and jade cups, the chicken is pure white, the shrimp is bright red, the abalone is as yellow as primrose and pleasant to the eye, and the crab meat is bright yellow and delicate.There is also a bit of light green, bright red pepper, clear soup, ham powder, the collision of colors, coupled with the spread of delicious taste, the eyes look at the nose and smell it, which makes people excited.

Abalone with dragon head and fish body, the dragon head carved from corsage melon is magnificent, the eyes made of cherries are piercing, the refreshing violets are used as side dishes, the fish tank made of wax gourd, pumpkin, banana melon and "little abalone" are soft and rotten Delicious, the real net abalone is specially cooked with pork spine, chicken feet, and pork meat hanging soup. The oil in the soup is skimmed and used to stew the abalone juice. The yellow gravy makes the abalone flesh shiny and looks pliable and firm.Pick it up and taste it, the mouthfeel full of gelatin, coupled with the umami taste soaked in the tongue, makes people subconsciously feel happy, and the exhaustion of listening to the meeting in the morning is driven away by the hot food.

Crab-stuffed oranges have been recorded as early as in "Shanjia Qinggong". Just reading the text, I feel tongue-smelling: "Use oranges that are yellow, cooked, and large, truncate the top, scoop out the scorpion, and leave a little liquid. Inside, still cover it with pedicle branches, put it into a small steamer, steam it with wine, vinegar, and water, add bitter wine and salt, and serve it, it is fragrant and fresh, and makes people feel like new wine chrysanthemums, orange crabs." It's really imaginative.

And when I saw the real thing, the oranges were yellow and clear, and each person was served one by one, with a little bit of orange peel on the side, like the lid of a small orange cup.The orange crab meat in the orange cup has a slight blush. Stir it with a small silver spoon in your hand, and it will produce a lingering thick juice, as well as a tangy sweet and sour flavor. Thick, fresh and salty.Crabs are crab paste, crab roe, and crab meat carefully separated to obtain crab powder. When frying, use rose rice vinegar to enhance fragrance and remove fishy smell, cook with Xiangxue wine, pour the mixture into the "orange bowl" where orange meat has been removed, add hangbai chrysanthemum to add With a touch of elegance, steamed on high heat in the pot, the sweet and sour orange aroma will drive away the last trace of fishy smell in the crab meat, combined with the smell of wine and chrysanthemum, the fresh and plump taste is in the mouth, and immediately there are sweet foreign guests. Thumbs up: "This is so delicious! How did your chef come up with such a cooking method?!"

"This is an ancient Chinese dish." Shi Chen tasted the delicate and plump umami in his mouth, swallowed the last bite of crab meat, and explained with a smile, "The famous dish of the Southern Song Dynasty is just that we spent some time chasing our own history after the end of the world. culture, which brings it back to the dinner table."

"It's amazing! I have to say that my impression of Huaxia cuisine is always the rich soy sauce color. I thought you guys like strong flavors. The fish has already surprised me. But this one, I just love it so much !" The counselor of country U wiped his mouth with a napkin, and the praise in his tone was almost exaggerated.

It seems that he is also a sweet pie.

This is another difference in taste between China and the West.Including Shi Chen, there are more people who like the shad dish. The western guests also praised it before, but they are not as excited as they are now.Hearing that this is an ancient Chinese dish, their expressions added a bit of admiration.It is the same for all human beings. What surprises and looks forward to is the dazzling technology in the future, while what makes people recall and shock is the heavy history of the past.

But this expo, for the vast majority of people, they have witnessed two good things.

The brilliance of technology guides the way forward, while the deliciousness of history is ironed on the tip of the tongue.

The sumptuous delicacy of the whole table ends with a bowl of golden noodles as a condensed and sublimated ending.

Gold thread noodles, as the name suggests, are golden in color, as thin as hair, and continuous.A group of extremely slender noodles lying in the clear golden broth, accompanied by a green vegetable, looks extremely simple, and it seems a bit too simple for such a feast.

But the guests didn't take it seriously, they all thought it was a refreshing addition to the dazzling variety of delicacies before.Unexpectedly, when I scooped it up with chopsticks, the eye-poppingly slender noodles wrapped in dripping soup came out, and when I put it in my mouth, the smooth and fragrant taste immediately conquered every taste bud.

"good to eat!"

After taking a deep breath, the guests couldn't find a more suitable language to praise this delicacy after much deliberation. Thousands of words were merged into two concise and heartfelt words, almost resounding.

Shi Chen knew how much effort such a small bowl of seemingly simple noodles would take. He cherished a sip of the delicious broth, wiped his mouth for a long time, and explained to the surprised foreign guests: "Don't look at this bowl. The noodles are simple. The noodles are made of local duck egg yolks. No water is added. The flour is completely kneaded by the softness of duck egg whites and egg yolks, and it becomes a golden and smooth dough. A bamboo pole with a thick fist - called a "sitting bar". One end presses the noodles, and the other end rides the whole person. It is suppressed by the whole body strength of an adult man, repeatedly pressed, and the noodles are broken into small pieces and then pressed... After that, there are two rolling pins, big and small. 'Five pushing and five rolling', repeatedly rolling the rolling pin, pushing, beating lotus leaves, powdering, and pressing diamond-shaped patterns until the dough is so thin that it is transparent, then use a big knife to cut out slender strands of noodles and stretch them out—— In the eye of a needle, the noodles we eat can pass through 30. Such noodles can only be put into boiling water for 3 seconds, not more, and they will be delicious when they are put into the broth."

The guests were dumbfounded when they heard it, and when they looked at the small bowl of noodles in front of them, their eyes were different.

There is such a complicated mystery behind this wonderful moist taste that leaves a fragrance on the lips and teeth.Then use chopsticks to hold it, or roll it up with a fork a little bit and stuff it into the mouth, chewing becomes solemn.The last broth was not at all willing to waste it, and I swallowed it all in my stomach. I felt a wonderful taste pouring into my limbs and bones, and I felt a sudden sense of happiness.

With this hot, delicious base, hours of afternoon meetings won't seem overwhelming.

A World Information Technology Expo has come to an end, but the storm has just begun.

Most of the countries in the world have live broadcasted or rebroadcasted the expo, which is attended by many heavyweights from all over the world, or, at least, there are news reports from national TV stations.

The most eye-catching, undoubtedly, is the "olfactory transmission application system" that has attracted the attention of the whole world.Shi Yue, the company's name, and Shi Chen, the young man's name, quickly spread to the world along the network line—together with the video of him introducing and displaying the equipment on stage.

How did he make the guests wear helmets, how did he invite Bai Yue out, how did he stuff the peripherals of the smell information collection terminal into the glass cover, and the guests below—from the prime minister to the ambassador to the CEO of the top 500, etc. What a surprised or intoxicated look.

It was like pouring a bowl of cold water into a hot oil pan, and the whole world exploded with a splash.

Turning on the TV during this time, everyone is excitedly talking about the olfactory transmission application system, discussing its value, its technological innovation, its development direction... and, as time hints, the future pursuit: holographic.

Not to mention how shocking this was to the science and technology world, under the theme of science and technology, Bai Yue's feast—especially the stewed oxtail with red dates, also became a mess with this shareholder.

This is understandable.

The clips shown by the time were played repeatedly, and the reactions of the guests will undoubtedly be featured. The reporter will naturally interview them about their experiences at that time after the meeting.

So, in the news, you can see close-ups of xx famous people from x country with intoxicated faces.Then I saw a high-ranking figure with a happy face facing the camera: "Yes, I felt a tangy aroma at that time, and my stomach felt hungry. When I close my eyes, it seems that there is a red plate The sizzling oxtail was in front of me, and when I opened my eyes, there was nothing left. It was amazing, my senses were tricked."

Of course, this is to say how easy it is to use the olfactory transmission application system.But all the process of embodying this "easy to use" ended with the guests thinking about how delicious the oxtail smelled.

Many of them are also very talented in language. Their description of this dish made the audience friends in front of the TV unable to hold back their tongues. The children even hugged their parents' arms and acted like a baby: "Mom and Dad! I also want to Eat oxtail!"

Not to mention, the meeting meal at noon left a deep impression on the guests.In the post-meeting interview, if more than [-]% of the content that the guests talked about was about Shiyue Technology, then at least [-]% was about the food they tasted. Seriously, other exhibitors will probably be frustrated , at a tech fair, their appeal is less than a dish?

The most exaggerated one is the counselor of country U. He is obviously a foodie, and because of a sumptuous lunch, he successfully reversed the prejudice against Chinese restaurants.

He was interviewed by their own media, and he beamed in front of the camera and said: "My God, you will not believe what kind of food I ate! I never knew that crabs can be made so fat! And it is made with oranges ...No no no, it's not fried crab with oranges. Their chefs are so great. They hollowed out the oranges and carefully cooked the crab meat. Put the prepared crab meat into the orange and steam it. Can you believe it? The most popular young CEO now, he told me that this dish is an ancient Chinese dish, as if it existed 1000 years ago! My God! Not only crabs, but also fish, I don’t know what it is What kind of fish, but so tender that I hardly had time to feel its deliciousness slipping from my gullet. And the golden noodles, very thin, the soup is very fresh..."

"Haha." The reporter shook his head with a smile, "I remember I interviewed you before you took office, and you told me that you specially brought your home cook? Do you think the biggest challenge during your tenure in Huaxia is your western stomach?"

"I take this back. I have to say that I didn't know much about Huaxia cuisine at the time." The counselor showed an aftertaste expression, "You really should try it, that chef is very young—oh, yes, I After meeting him, Mr. Shi Chen has a very good relationship with him. After the meeting, I, the Prime Minister of Huaxia, and Mr. Shi took a photo with that chef. I am surprised that such a young chef can make such perfect taste!"

Undoubtedly, this interview was translated and broadcast by China's domestic TV stations, and it was regarded as a small highlight worth mentioning in the expo.After all, Chinese people have always been proud of their country's history, culture, and art—including the art of food.It is a joy to be able to overwhelm an otherwise skeptical foreign official over a meal.

Not only this counselor, but many guests who participated in the expo specifically mentioned that delicious meal in the interview, especially the foreign guests. Their exaggerated compliments made Bai Yue, who was watching TV, feel blush. Sitting next to him, he looked happy. ——The one who was as happy as him was probably Mama Ke. When Bai Yue returned home, she rarely abandoned her image of a traditional Chinese mother who was always restrained, and rushed over to give her son a big kiss on the face.Moreover, in the next few days, the mother seemed to be obsessed with the TV, especially the news channel, and she was keen to watch those people whose names she couldn't name but with very big titles praise her son's cooking.

Undoubtedly, Bai Yue's popularity has increased a second time. This time, it is much more exaggerated than his first "Internet celebrity". It is almost a reality to gain 100 million followers overnight. In a few days, "Ke Jia The number of Weibo fans of "Restaurant" has reached 600 million, and the group photos he posted of himself, Shi Chen, the Prime Minister, the U country counselor, and of course all the conference meal preparation staff have reached the number of likes and reposts. An astonishing 30 and [-].This may be nothing compared to a star, but you know, he is just a chef.

This time, the sign of "Ke's Restaurant" was actually erected.

The dean of the Institute of History and Culture said before that his dishes are very authentic, and many famous people have praised his craftsmanship, but... how should I put it, in terms of authority and heritage, Ke’s restaurant is really inferior A section of competitors.

It wasn't that Bai Yue didn't work hard enough or something, or that the other party's family background was so rich that he couldn't compare.

But this time it's different.

In the screen repeatedly played by CCTV, the prime minister personally experienced the olfactory transmission application system, but he showed a very approving expression, which shows that the work is really delicious.There are so many celebrities, both at home and abroad, so it doesn't mean that Ke's restaurant has the ability to let them advertise?It must be because I really feel that it is so delicious that I can't help but mention it.And being able to make these distinguished guests who have eaten all kinds of delicacies so satisfying...

Sure enough, Chef Ke's level is too high, right?

Go for a walk, hurry to taste, what kind of food is it that can amaze guests at home and abroad!

At the same time, the capital store and W Town store of "Ke's Restaurant" were full at the same time, and the reservation form had already been registered to the maximum period of three months. We have no place.And the grand scene of queuing in front of the restaurant reappeared together—and it was definitely more exaggerated than when the capital store first opened.Almost every customer who comes to dine will ask if they can eat the dishes at the expo - the most asked question is the stewed oxtail with red dates.

Of course, Bai Yue was too busy, so he entrusted the practice to his apprentice, but there was still a big gap between the apprentice and his craftsmanship.Therefore, the waiters will tell the customers truthfully that this dish is no longer available, and this dish is still available, but the [-] copies made by Chef Ke are sold out as soon as the store opens...

When customers heard that Chef Ke's cooking was gone, they often couldn't help but beat their chests, but they would still order a plate to try.What the apprentice cooks is what the apprentice cooks. It must be [-]% to [-]% of that chef's level, right?

Royal Banquet Pavilion.

A group of managers in suits and leather shoes gathered around the conference table with gloomy faces.

On the projection screen in front of them were the passenger flow and revenue of Yuyan Pavilion in the past two months, as well as the inferred passenger flow and revenue of Ke's Restaurant.

Even in the first month of Ke's restaurant's "Internet celebrity" stage and its opening, Yuyan Pavilion has steadily overwhelmed its opponents.After all, the brand of Yuyan Pavilion is there, and the price is set higher, even if the other party has a large number of customers at that time, and the income is far behind.

but now.

The dotted line representing speculation about the other party has been drawn above the red line representing the Royal Banquet Pavilion.

To be overtaken by a fledgling rival, this is nothing less than a slap in the face for such a century-old high-end brand advertised as a "state banquet".But what's even more funny is that a group of executives are sitting here in a meeting, and they can't figure out who made what mistakes, or how to improve.

Their income in the past two months was even better than usual at first—of course, it was because of the 127th anniversary store celebration, which made a lot of noise, and by the way, they wanted to invisibly establish the status of authoritative ancient court dishes on the brand.

But now?You let CCTV advertise for you?The opponent doesn't spend a penny, and the major media all over the world take turns to advertise him!

Do you put up a huge stand in the CBD where the well-dressed white-collar workers work or in the high-end neighborhood where they live?The other party didn't have a stand or advertising slogan, but they directly brought the food to the World Expo!Worldwide Live or Rebroadcast!

You said that there have been several generations of national chefs in the restaurant and hosted state banquets?The Prime Minister's expression was satisfied when he smelled their dishes, and the foreign guests immediately abandoned their past prejudices and fell in love with Chinese cuisine!What's the use of saying that your authority and leaders love to eat?It was said by high-level people at home and abroad!

In fact, activities similar to store promotions—especially for high-end brands—have a certain effect of overdrafting future earnings.After all, many people are, for a high-end brand like Yuyan Pavilion, the mentality they hold is to save half a year's salary for the whole family to experience it once, and it is rare for them to be able to spend it once.

On the one hand, word-of-mouth and the consumption quota at that time went up, but on the other hand, the subsequent income and customer flow naturally weakened and fell back.Yuyan Pavilion was mentally prepared for this, and they held the idea of ​​using short-term store celebrations to make a name for themselves and firmly suppress the brand of Ke's Restaurant.This is a bit like the practice of some big companies marketing at a loss to squeeze out small factories in order to monopolize the market.

But unexpectedly, the Ke's restaurant was shining brightly at the World Expo, and suddenly its style and popularity went up.The other party's brand is harder and the business is hotter, but my own side is in the stage of declining customer traffic after the promotion, and the result is a tragic comparison.

"How to do?"

Everyone looked at each other, seeing bitterness in each other's eyes.

"...Now, we can only see what other important banquets will be held in the near future. The state banquet is the best, and we will try to support our brand again."

"It can only be like this."

Their idea was pretty good, but it's a pity that Bai Yue went out with such an amazing meal and directly made his name on the international stage. Countless people at home and abroad remembered his name, including the Prime Minister's help.

"Mr. Ke, if time permits, there will be an important banquet in the future, and we still hope that you will honor hosting it."

"It's my honor." Of course Bai Yue would not refuse.
