Except for Luo Yu and Fang Jie, everyone present knew that Tai Shiyou wanted to use tonight's dinner to rectify Luo Yu, so they all thought that Ye Ziying's words were arranged by Tai Shiyou in advance to make Luo Yu look embarrassed.
, because he didn’t look like he had eaten Western food before.
Nothing went wrong last time, and Luo Yu will certainly not make a fool of himself this time.
Jin Qian had reminded herself before that Tai Shiyou and Ye Ziying were in the same group, so Luo Yu didn't intend to give them face.
"There are not many famous dishes in French cuisine. There are only a dozen main dishes, such as Marseille fish soup, foie gras steak, Paris lobster, red wine pheasant, chicken salad, potato and lamb, etc. I don't remember the details.
Qing, by the way, Shiyou." Luo Yu turned his head and looked at Tai Shiyou, "You should pair white wine with seafood and red wine with red meat. You don't know this, right?"
Tai Shiyou held up the half-empty bottle and looked at it carefully. Only then did he realize that he had picked up the wrong aperitif, and his face suddenly turned red.
Luo Yu looked very embarrassed when he looked at him, and said with a smile: "Shiyou, your membership in the catering association cannot be bought with money, right? It is popular in China to buy diplomas and certificates, but it turns out that it is popular abroad to be members of various kinds.
Proof."
Being ridiculed by Luo Yu, Tai Shiyou suddenly lost his dignity, but Luo Yu knew the principle of giving a sweet date a slap in the face, and said: "But red wine is good for appetizing. Besides, we are not in a western restaurant today, so there is no need."
Everything is done so carefully, otherwise it would be too formal and would not feel as comfortable as eating at home.”
Luo Yu first despised himself, and then pushed himself down. Although Tai Shiyou was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, who made the mistake first.
After a while, a specially invited servant served everyone a plate of bread.
The first dish served was a cold dish. Although we were not used to using knives and forks, everyone still had to show off.
Luo Yu was an absolute expert in playing with knives. He was dazzled by the knife and fork in his hands. The knife flashed and he cut the fish fillets on the plate into several thin slices. The thickness was even and the sizes were almost the same.
, dipped in sweet sauce, it looks crystal clear and extremely delicious.
Tai Shiyou, who claimed to be a senior member, could only hold the fish pieces with his fork and slowly cut them with a knife in his other hand. Although he tried his best to act elegant, his cautious appearance could not make people think that he and Luo were in a relationship.
Yu Xiaosha's sword skills are comparable.
The second course is soup, and soup is also the most famous dish in French cuisine.
French soup is divided into thick meat soup, light vegetable soup and delicious seafood soup.
Luo Yu has also mentioned this dish before, it is the famous Marseille fish soup.
In order to save the face he had lost before, Tai Shiyou hurriedly stood up and introduced it to everyone as soon as the soup was served.
"This Marseille fish soup is a famous dish in the fishing port of Marseille, a city in the south of France facing the Mediterranean Sea. I ate it once when I went to Marseille a few years ago. I think everyone will not forget the delicious taste of Marseille fish after eating it today.
"
"Is it a sea fish? It tastes similar to hairtail and yellow croaker?" Fang Jie blurted out and asked. After asking, she immediately realized that she had asked a very stupid question, and her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
Tai Shiyou paused in his speech. He really didn't know how to compare hairtail fish and Marseille fish.
Luo Yu smiled slightly and comforted Fang Jie and said: "Hairtail is relatively famous in the Yellow Sea area of China. It is a deep-sea fish. Marseille fish is considered a foreign product. In different places, due to the differences in environment, the taste will naturally be different. Try it.
Just know it.”
With Luo Yu's comfort, Fang Jie was no longer so embarrassed. Tai Shiyou felt depressed again because Luo Yu had taken the lead.
The people present who know the most about Western food are Tai Shiyou, and Luo Yu, a person that everyone can't see clearly.
As the host, Tai Shiyou naturally explained to everyone: "The main ingredients of Marseille fish soup are fresh local fish. The seafood is cooked with some good spices and tomato sauce. I also chartered a plane to deliver these fish."
, to ensure the purity of taste.”
Tai Shiyou explained and demonstrated at the same time: "When eating, just like me, pick up the fish inside and put it on the plate, and then pick up the bread just now."
Luo Yu grabbed the bread on hand and looked around. The French baguette looked really inelegant, almost the same as the pattern on the medicine packaging paper.
Tai Shiyou obviously didn't notice the disgust on Luo Yu's face, and continued to do the action: "Pour the soup on the bread, and then you can eat."
"It's so complicated." Luo Yu looked at Tai Shiyou's set of actions and couldn't help but sigh that Indians can see it clearly. Anyway, it will be mixed into a ball in the stomach after eating, so it would be more convenient to just grab it with hands.
Chang Zi just heard Luo Yu speak. The anger he received from Lin Yao had not yet been released, so he snorted: "Western food is a ceremonial meal. You must not be used to it. Look at you squatting under the telephone pole like that.
Eating a box lunch is more suitable for your temperament."
Tai Shiyou also said: "It can't be complicated. After all, French cuisine can only taste its unique flavor by following the steps. It's not suitable for those who are impatient."
Luo Yu was not angry when he heard this, and waved his finger: "Actually, Shiyou, I think you can add one more step, so that you will feel that eating this soup is worth it no matter how complicated it is."
Now everyone has basically tasted this dish, and its delicious taste has won everyone's praise.
Hearing Luo Yu's words about adding another step, not only Tai Shiyou, but also the others frowned slightly, showing doubts.
Luo Yu just said that these steps are already too cumbersome, why should we add more? Isn't this inconsistent?
Seeing everyone looking at him, Chang Zicai even sneered: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. The expert on Western food at this table is Mr. Tai."
Luo Yu glared at him directly: "Shut up, you haven't got down on the ground to learn how to bark, so you have no place to speak here!"
Chang Zicai's lips moved and he wanted to retort, but Luo Yu glared at her with a ferocious look, and the words that reached his mouth were swallowed down his throat again, and he lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
No one here can compare to what Luo Yu has experienced over the years. In comparison, Luo Yu's experience is infinitely richer.
"I think if you can eat it with some Bojiu Laihong wine or Alsatian white wine, well -" Luo Yu pondered for a moment, glanced around the wine rack next to him, and nodded, "Then
A bottle of Cote de Provence rosé would also be nice.”
Westerners are almost picky about the pairing of wine and food. Seeing Luo Yu's confident look, Jin Qian was the first to take the bottle of red wine and pour some into her own cup.
"How to eat?" Jin Qian asked Luo Yu.
"Take a sip of wine, and then take a bite of bread dripping with soup while the taste of wine is still on your tongue." Luo Yu explained, "Remember not to drink too much wine, just take a small sip."
Everyone looked at Jin Qian to see how she would react after eating it.
Jin Qian first took a sip of red wine and then ate bread.
The moment she bit into the bread, her expression immediately changed.
The original sweet and sour taste of the red wine is still swirling on the tip of the tongue. When the deliciousness of the fish soup and the fragrance of the bread are added, I feel like my taste buds want to explode. The three flavors are mixed together just right, and it is so satisfying.
The intoxicating taste of food suddenly increased to several levels. From the mouth through the esophagus to the intestines and stomach, I felt a warm current flowing through me, and my whole body felt indescribably comfortable.
"How is it?" Ye Ziying sat next to her and asked with concern.
Jin Qian's eyes were full of disbelief, and she swallowed the bread in her mouth and nodded: "It's delicious, really, it tastes even better than at the beginning!"
