Chapter 311: Knowing the Descendants of the Royal Chef
Su Xiaotian had no choice but to tell Shi Yuliang what Christina was thinking.
Shi Yuliang's concentration was pretty good and he barely stood still.
However, the expression he looked at Christina was a little unnatural.
This person actually has great ambitions and wants to eat a full banquet between Manchu and Han Dynasties?
Does she know what a Man-Han Banquet is?
I'll beg you, this stuff was not eaten every day in the palace even in the past.
Not to mention how high the price is, if he is willing to spend money, where can he find it?
He is just a factory director, not an emperor!
August clearly saw that the expressions of several people were not right, and his face darkened on the spot.
He thought it was because the Orientals were worried about spending money and therefore did not want to fulfill his sister's wish.
Shi Yuliang was thinking about how to persuade this young aunt from abroad to give up this idea, and did not notice the change in August's expression at all.
August said calmly: "Christina has been favored since childhood and is a little willful. Please forgive me."
"Since Christina wants to eat, she can ask Mr. Lao Shi to help book a place. As for the money, don't worry!"
They didn't have anything else at home, and they had enough money so that their sister wouldn't be unable to eat anything good she wanted.
August had this confidence, but he obviously ignored that the prerequisite for eating delicious food is not having money, but someone must sell it.
But there is indeed no Man-Han banquet!
August's words stopped what Shi Yuliang wanted to say.
Is this foreign boss really the legendary shrewd leader of the consortium?
Why do you think you are just a fool?
Shi Yuliang cursed and looked at Su Xiaotian.
Su Xiaotian felt helpless after receiving the signal from Shi Yuliang.
Did August and Christina, two brothers and sisters, come here specifically to cause trouble?
The more Su Xiaotian thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was not completely impossible!
Maybe they don't want to cooperate at all, but just want to play with them.
But at this time, she could only explain.
"Dear Miss Christina, please allow me to introduce you to the Man-Han Banquet!"
Although Christina is deeply loved, she is a good girl who knows how to be polite. When she heard Su Xiaotian's words, she nodded immediately.
"Dear Tian, please explain to me the most delicious food in your country."
She was very excited. It was better to understand it first, so as not to be embarrassed when eating later.
Su Xiaotian smiled and said: "Miss Christina, you probably don't know that the Manchu-Hanban Banquet is not a single dish, but a banquet that takes three days to finish. The Man-Hanban Banquet consists of one hundred and ninety-six hot and cold dishes, and one hundred snacks and tea.
Twenty-four items, a total of three hundred and twenty items of delicacies."
Hearing what Su Xiaotian said, Christina's expression was very shocked. Apparently she had never thought that the Manchu-Han Banquet was not just one dish, but so many dishes.
"Three hundred and twenty dishes? What kind of family can enjoy so many delicacies?"
Christina was so surprised that she could hardly close her mouth.
It was too luxurious. She used to think that her life was very luxurious, but she never expected that there would be such a luxurious banquet in this ancient oriental country.
She is really becoming more and more interested and really wants to have a taste. What should I do?
Su Xiaotian shook her head slightly: "It's not that family, but a royal banquet, which is a delicacy that the emperor and his ministers taste together. This kind of banquet has very rules. Before sitting down, two pairs of tea and hand dishes must be served;
Four fresh fruits, four dried fruits, four candied fruits and four candied fruits; after sitting down, cold dishes are served first, then hot stir-fries, vegetables, and beets are served in sequence. It is divided into six banquets, all named after the famous banquets of the Qing Dynasty."
"Next, let's talk about the ingredients for the Man-Han Banquet. The Man-Han Banquet brings together many famous Manchu and Han dishes. We choose fresh seafood, rare animals, and all of them are rare and good ingredients that we strive for excellence. Miss Christina, such a banquet,
Just one or two months is not enough to make preparations and collect ingredients.”
Christina was sincerely sorry to hear such news, as it would take a month or two to get the ingredients together!
"Besides, no one can make such a banquet now." Su Xiaotian continued.
Christina heard what Su Xiaotian said, and she would be lying if she said she wasn't disappointed. If it was just that the ingredients were difficult to collect, that would be fine. Think of a way, maybe one day she could eat them.
But if no one can do it, then it’s just a legend!
"There's no one else who can do it?" Christina's face was full of disappointment.
"Yes, Miss Christina. The Manchu-Han banquet is a collection of the characteristics of our country's palace cuisine, the essence of local flavor, and a combination of various methods of Manchu and Han nationality dishes. Some are salty, some sweet, some meat and some vegetarian. It needs to be
It can only be completed by the cooperation of multiple skilled chefs.”
When Christina heard this, she completely understood that her wish to taste a full banquet this time would be impossible to achieve.
August also listened to what Su Xiaotian said. He originally wanted to fulfill his sister's wish, but who knew that his sister's wish could not be fulfilled!
No chef can do it, no matter how much money he has, there is nothing he can do!
He opened his mouth to comfort: "Christina, China is a country that knows how to enjoy its appetites. In addition to the Manchu and Han banquets, there are many delicacies to taste!"
However, the Man-Han banquet that Christina had been thinking about for so long was gone, and the disappointment in her heart would not disappear just because of a few words of comfort from her brother August.
Just when Christina was disappointed, Su Xiaotian spoke again.
"Miss Christina, although you don't have the opportunity to taste our Manchu-Han banquet, you can taste some of the dishes."
Su Xiaotian naturally made up these words.
But regardless of whether she was telling nonsense or not, when she said it now, Christina's eyes began to sparkle.
"Can you really find someone to make a Man-Han Banquet? Oh, no, it's some of the dishes in the Man-Han Banquet?" Christina was so happy that she almost jumped up.
She is not an ignorant girl. Even if the Manchu banquet is given to her, she cannot eat it. It is obviously a waste!
It's okay if you eat part of it.
"I know a descendant of an imperial chef who can't cook a full Manchu-Han banquet, but he can cook some of the dishes. I wonder if you would be interested in trying it?"
Su Xiaotian lost no time in reminding.
She originally planned to put this matter aside tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
After all, Director Shi had ordered roast duck tonight, and she knew it.
