If you want to eat good food, be prepared to be disappointed.
In terms of food, Han Qi is completely free. There are now several million in the bank card. This money allows Han Qi to buy a more luxurious house in a certain big city. It is not enough, but he can still eat casually.
After ordering the food, Han Qi looked at Lin Qiqi.
To be precise, he was looking at his cell phone.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a live broadcast, why don’t I do it too?
Forget it, forget it.
There were several people in the group, and two of them were holding their cell phones and banging their phones, which looked strange to passers-by.
Just after ordering the dishes, the waiter quickly brought a bottle of champagne... This was really a gift. The red wine Han Qi ordered had not been served yet, but the champagne came first, and not long after, the first course was also served.
French Truffle Cheese Fried Onion Capsules.
It was the first time for Han Qi to see such exquisite dishes.
He served it to you on a very beautiful plate. A small black thing was placed on the plate. How exquisite is it? It is so exquisite that it is only as big as half a spoon. You will feel worried after eating it in one bite.
Will it clog between teeth?
"So small."
Han Qi has eaten a lot of Western food. He often goes abroad and there are so many Chinese food for him to eat. But even so, this is the first time he has eaten such a small 'dish', which made the netizens in the live broadcast room say they were fooled.
Already.
It is indeed a bit small, only as big as a fruit candy, but it tastes very rich in flavor.
Black truffle is a very expensive delicacy, with a strong and pungent taste, just like the cold Houttuynia cordata that Tianfu people often eat. Some people love it to death, and those who don't like it will feel like it even if they taste a little bit.
vomit.
The taste has a bit of earthy smell from the wet soil in the mountains and forests.
If you get used to this taste, you will be able to feel the freshness and nature-like aroma contained in truffles.
Along with the taste of cheese, the fried onions explode in your mouth, and the hot parts inside will exude a stronger stimulation.
Don't just take a small bite at the food. When you eat it, you will feel that your eyes, ears, nose, and throat are all open, and your sense of smell, taste, and hearing will all become more acute.
I guess this is the purpose of serving this appetizer.
Take another sip of champagne, it's refreshing and sweet.
At the same time, the red wine Han Qi ordered was also served, which was the 99-year-old red wine produced by Kangtao Winery 20 kilometers away.
This winery's 1991 red wine is the most expensive. It used to cost more than a thousand euros to buy. Now that Kangtao has entered the top ten well-known wineries, the price has doubled, at least 50%.
Fame is money and profit.
To become famous early, this principle has been explained thousands of years ago.
He didn't know the price of the wine Han Qi ordered before, but now it's only 800 euros a bottle.
Since the wine of 1999 can be brought to the banquet by Kang Tao, it means that the wine of this year is also a high-quality product, and Han Qi likes the taste of the summer of 1999. It will make him recall his life in these years and feel a sense of joy.
Pleasure.
The waiter opened the bottle of red wine and poured it for all four people.
Han Qi said: "Yesterday I went to Kangtao Winery, which produces this wine, and I was deeply impressed by their 1999 red wine. You can try it. But if you don't drink well, don't drink too much, just drink milk.
"
Lin Qiqi groaned and asked, "Brother Han Qi also went to the winery?"
"Well, there was a banquet in Kangtao yesterday. Of course I wasn't invited. A friend took me in."
Han Qi didn't say who his friends were, but netizens in Lin Qiqi's live broadcast room had different opinions.
Some people said that he was a celebrity that Han Qi met in Italy, and some said that this mysterious man was someone from the winery. Anyway, the more Han Qi didn't say anything, the more they liked to make all kinds of guesses.
In fact, not many fans of Han Qi know that this little anchor actually met Han Qi during his travels. Otherwise, this live broadcast room should not have a popularity of 30,000, but a popularity of 100,000 or 200,000.
If Han Qi started broadcasting on his own, there would be 200,000 people in one minute, which translates into more than 10,000 or 20,000 people.
Regardless of their drinking ability, everyone tasted the red wine recommended by Han Qi.
Lin Qiqi said in surprise: "It tastes good, a little sweet."
Zhong Ying also felt that this wine brought her a surprise, but Zhou Sihui frowned when she looked at someone who didn't like drinking. She took a small sip and lowered her head to reveal her half-flavored tongue.
Han Qi smiled and said: "If you don't like it, don't drink it. Drink some milk."
"I'm just curious and want to try it."
"There is no need to learn it. Didn't Jay Chou sing a song?" Han Qi searched for the tune and sang, "Although I am a cowboy and only drink milk in the bar, why not drink red wine, because red wine is harmful to the body...
…”
"Haha." All three girls laughed.
"That's beer."
"In my case it's red wine."
The subsequent dishes also came slowly, including three-head abalone and Spanish red shrimp.
The method of making abalone is very simple. It is simply smoked and then sprinkled with a little salt for seasoning. It tastes okay. Han Qi thinks that the bigger the abalone made this way, the less delicious it is. Three-headed abalone
The smoke tastes just right.
Spanish red shrimp uses molecular cuisine. Even live shrimps are unfolded in the end, which are two sizes larger than the daily crayfish and shrimps.
Others also cut it slowly with a knife and fork and divided it into three or five times to eat. Han Qi held it with a fork and took one bite.
Is such a small thing worth cutting with a knife?
Among the next few dishes, Han Qi's favorite is foie gras. Foie gras is so delicious. If you bite it, the juice will burst into your mouth. He has eaten foie gras many times before, but this is also the first time.
It feels like eating.
He wiped his mouth and asked, "What do you think? Is it delicious?"
These three girls are his guests and must be taken good care of.
"Yeah, I like this scallop."
"Me too."
Han Qi nodded and said, "Well, it's really good. It's cooked with soup stock. The soup inside is actually edible. That's what this small piece of bread is for."
He took a fork of bread and spread it on the scallop juice.
The soup in Western food is very important. It is as important as the heat in Chinese food. It takes a lot of work. So no matter how you eat it, even if you just eat the soup, you will feel very delicious. Pair it with soft bread and scallops that melt in your mouth.
The taste is really amazing.
Lin Qiqi said seriously: "These dishes made me feel something."
"What's the point?" Han Qi said with admiration.
"High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking method." She pointed at the dishes she had eaten before, "Look, steamed red shrimp, halibut skin, smoked abalone, you don't even know if they are hot or not.
Oysters are very simple to make.”
Han Qi nodded, but also reminded.
"If you find something tastes bad or difficult to swallow, just spit it out and don't eat it. This is your body's response to you that it won't be able to bear it if you eat it."
"Really or not?"
"Of course it's true. I'm a good person and I won't lie to others."
Han Qi said with a smile.
This is indeed the case. Chinese people have been poor for several generations. Even the former landowners have not eaten anything good. Therefore, they lack a digestive enzyme in their bodies and sometimes cannot digest Western food.
It is estimated that it will take several generations to make up for this kind of physical condition.
Later there was even a special soup with bread.
The waiter came up with a piece of bread covered by a transparent glass, which was only a small piece. Han Qi took a bite, and the girls probably finished it in two bites. The soup was beaten into foam and covered on the bread, and there were also a few slices of truffle.
The bread should be toasted and slightly browned on the surface, which makes it very appetizing.
As soon as the waiter opened the glass cover, an indescribable fragrance hit him. It was neither soup nor bread, nor truffles, because the taste of truffles was not noticeable on the surface and had to be tasted in the mouth.
smell.
"What does this taste like?" Han Qi asked the person who served the food.
"It's a cigar."
A top-quality cigar, lit but not smoked, with a glass cover used to cover the ingredients. No wonder Han Qi saw that the inside of the glass felt a little cloudy when he served the food. He thought it was a visual effect.
Let's smoke together.
However, the taste of cigars is very different from cigarettes. As long as this person said it was a cigar, the girls didn't feel much discomfort.
"So cigars taste like this." Zhong Ying exclaimed.
Steak, lamb chops, needless to say.
This should be the most commonly used ingredient in Western-style meals. Even all over the world, no matter what small town you are, although you can't see a Western restaurant, there must be a fast food restaurant that makes steak in some corner.
Very tender.
Han Qi ordered medium.rare, which was almost medium rare, with a trace of blood in it, but it tasted very tender.
If you are used to eating cooked food, you may not be able to accept bloody beef, but this is a Michelin restaurant. It is a Michelin two-star restaurant with a per capita cost of 3,000 euros. If you eat medium rare steak here, you may not be able to appreciate the delicate taste of top-quality steak.
Already.
Having said that, he wouldn't be able to accept it if he really wanted to show off to Han Qi.
Another thing is to dispel a rumor that eating medium-rare steak will leave blood and water in your mouth. Not to mention whether this little bit of blood will gush out when you eat it. Han Qi is very surprised why someone would eat it.
Something will come out of your mouth when you eat something.
Very strange.
Each dish was served one after another, and it didn't look like much, but an hour passed while I was eating.
The last dessert everyone liked was called peach honey curd.
Han Qi didn't see how it was made. It must be molecular cuisine. Many dishes in this restaurant are molecular cuisine. They even made the bread into a texture and taste like roasted bark, which tasted crispy and raw.
After all the dishes were served, the chef responsible for making Han Qi's dish came up.
"Ladies and gentlemen, are you satisfied with today's dishes?"
Han Qi shook hands with him: "I am very satisfied. I like the steak you made very much. On the basis of medium rare, it also takes into account the habits of us Chinese people. You did an excellent job."
The review was very high, so the chef was very happy.
"Making food that suits the tastes of guests from all over the world is my biggest dream after becoming a chef, but you are the only one who can taste this. I am very happy. Really. My name is Steve. I am very happy.
I can make today’s food for you.”
"Han Qi."
After walking out of the restaurant, Lin Qiqi complained: "His face is full of smiles."
"Brother Han Qi thinks too highly of him, right? Does a chef like him have any performance or anything like that? Can customers' comments increase their income?"
Han Qi shook his head and said:
"Our evaluation only reflects the taste of the food to them and cannot increase their income. And if you become a chef in a restaurant, you don't need to consider income, right? Top Western chefs make more money than doctors and lawyers."
Western chefs not only earn a lot of money, but they also don't do as much damage to the body as Chinese chefs.
Because he is not exposed to so much oil fume, he has worked for dozens of times, and even when he goes out to travel, he cannot tell that this person is a Western chef.
Han Qi also hopes that chefs in his country can also have such high incomes.
Zhou Sihui hugged herself and said with some fear: "The taste is still very good, but it's just too expensive."
"When eating out, you get what you pay for in most restaurants. If we talk about cost-effectiveness, then this kind of Western restaurant is definitely not cost-effective. A thousand yuan meal is delicious, and two thousand or three thousand yuan is delicious.
His meal may taste better than his, but it won’t be far superior.”
Han Qi explained to them.
In fact, it is easy to understand. The original price of a serving of ingredients is 500 yuan, and an average restaurant will charge you 1,000 yuan after processing.
Using this as a standard, let him double the price to two thousand yuan for a meal, but it cannot be said that the degree of deliciousness has doubled. Perhaps it can only be said that it has increased by one-tenth. If you continue to go up, this ratio
will get lower and lower.
Today's meal totals 9,000 euros, more than 2,000 euros per person.
Maybe it's just 50% better than the average restaurant.
Ordinary people may think it is not worth it and the price/performance ratio is too low, but what does this have to do with the rich? They are even willing to pay a higher price in exchange for 51% or 52% of the taste.
.
To a certain extent, money is just a number, and Han Qi only recently realized that.
This meal also opened the eyes of netizens in Lin Qiqi’s live broadcast room. This level of store visit is really not something you can encounter all the time. It is almost impossible to spend 10,000 euros to visit a store in domestic store visit videos.
Eat in the restaurant.
Moreover, Han Qi also explained it very clearly.
More than one-third of netizens ordered takeout on this late night. Those who couldn't order takeout went to the refrigerator to look for anything to eat.
Otherwise, I can't stop drooling.
Speaking of going back to Italy, after lunch, Han Qi was going to visit other places in Rome in the afternoon and asked the three girls if they wanted to come together.
Zhou Sihui, as the leader, thought about it and refused despite Lin Qiqi's objections.
Han Qi has his own things to do, and it is inconvenient for the three girls to follow him all the time. Moreover, Lin Qiqi is also running a live broadcast. How can anyone like to be photographed along the way?
She thought very clearly. Anyway, according to herself, she definitely didn't want to.
My bestie has had enough of the heat, it's time to go.
No friend was added, no phone number was left, this encounter was just part of countless encounters during the journey. Whether it was Han Qi or several girls, they would keep today's experience in their hearts and wait until the future to slowly reflect on it.
