Qin Zhiyuan had eaten Western food in his previous life.
He also ate a lot during this period. From the summer midnight in Amiens to the Grand Fourvey in Paris, Qin Zhiyuan has seen a lot.
But Qin Zhiyuan has never eaten at a French home, let alone a Christmas dinner.
Unlike the feast in Qin Zhiyuan's concept, Annie did not prepare much food, some potatoes, some bread, a few onions, a piece of bacon, a few prawns, and an essential turkey.
Qin Zhiyuan looked at the turkey and saw that it was not too big. It was probably not big enough for him to eat alone. So he secretly called Gao Hongshi and asked him to go to Dafuwei to get some food and prepare to add some vegetables.
What is unexpected is that when I heard that it was going to be delivered to Foch's house, a dining car from the Dafuwei Restaurant came directly, and two chefs came with the car.
Qin, do you want the Ministry of Internal Affairs to investigate me? Foch was furious.
How is it possible? I have already paid. Qin Zhiyuan is not surprised at all.
Foch is an upright man. He is a Catholic. He is strict with himself and his family. It may be unbelievable to say that although Foch holds a high official position, Pierre and Julie rarely go to high-end places.
, let alone the habit of inviting chefs from restaurants to cook at your own home, that would be too luxurious.
Qin, this is not in line with the rules. Anne was quite critical.
In Anne's opinion, Christmas should be a time for the family to prepare dinner together, and outsiders should not interfere, as that would shake Anne's authority at home.
Annie, I didn't invite anyone over, I just went to buy some food to enrich the dinner table at night. This is also a tradition in our hometown. If this is offensive, then I'm sorry, I will let them go back. Qin Zhiyuan ignores
solved this problem.
Qin Zhiyuan wanted to please Anne, but ignored the habits of the Foch family. This is normal. In another time and space, Qin Zhiyuan was often at home alone because of his parents' work. After his parents passed away, Qin Zhiyuan was still at home because of his work.
Qin Zhiyuan is already used to being alone and does not have much experience in family life. In this regard, Qin Zhiyuan still needs to learn.
Why return it? After all, the money has been paid. Pierre had different opinions.
Pierre was tired of eating rock-hard bread, which even Napoleon disliked.
Okay, okay, since you sent it here, let's keep it, but it won't happen again. Anne will do as she pleases.
Come on, guys, you still have time to go back and have a reunited Christmas. Pierre greeted.
Qin Zhiyuan went over and took out two twenty-franc notes to pay the tip.
Qin, you must be in good financial condition. Anne suspected that Foch had a small treasury outside.
It's okay. Qin Zhiyuan doesn't want to go into too much detail.
Not only is it possible, it is simply amazing. Annie, you may not know that Qin received a check yesterday, and you would not have guessed how big the number on it was. Pierre testified.
Pierre, I think you should go to a priest to confess. When did you become a money worshiper? Anne was heartbroken.
This is not money worship. I have the right to pursue a happy life. As long as the source of wealth is legitimate, no one can stop me from pursuing money. After all, God also needs offerings. When you go to church every week, don’t you also donate?
Your strong words make sense.
You still dare to quibble, I will teach you a lesson today. Anne was furious.
Today is Christmas Eve, I want to be harmonious and beautiful. Pierre is cunning and cunning.
Let's wait until today. Anne is preparing to settle accounts in the future.
Pierre is not afraid. At dawn tomorrow, he will move to the Black Swan Castle and wait for ten days and a half before returning when Anne is relieved.
The restaurant Da Fuwei is indeed extraordinary. The finest caviar, delicious foie gras, fresh mushrooms and herring, freshly baked snails, etc. are all representatives of French cuisine. This is France that can rival Chinese cuisine.
A feast, not weapons-grade bread that even dogs won't eat.
This is such a waste. How much does this meal cost? Although she accepted Qin Zhiyuan's kindness, Annie couldn't help but inquire.
It was about 150 francs. Qin Zhiyuan subconsciously subtracted a zero.
150 francs, that's not expensive. Anne didn't know whether she really didn't know the prices of these top-quality ingredients, or whether she was pretending to be confused, but she acted very indifferently.
Qin Zhiyuan did not dare to say more, he had already felt Foch's angry gaze. For Catholics, lying is not allowed.
Come here, Napoleon, try this. If Napoleon doesn't try to kiss Julie, Julie will still be very good to Napoleon.
Napoleon had already smelled the fragrance that filled the room, and was so tempted that he salivated. When he heard Julie calling, he came over in a hurry.
Let me give you a taste first. Julie threw a small piece of beef to Napoleon.
The corners of Pierre's mouth twitched and he swallowed back the words he almost blurted out.
This is beef from Kobe, Japan. It's just such a small dish, which costs almost 150 francs. Speaking of which, the price offered to Qin Zhiyuan by Dafuwei Restaurant was also discounted, so it was probably the cost price.
Napoleon praised the deliciousness of the beef with a vigorous wagging of his tail, his eyes became more eager, and he looked even hungrier.
No, I can only taste it, you have already eaten your share. Julie cruelly refused.
The portions of Western food were pitifully small. Qin Zhiyuan was given dishes for six people, but judging from the portion size, it was probably enough for Qin Zhiyuan to eat alone.
No wonder Westerners have a saying to the effect that Easterners, especially Chinese, have three stomachs, and they are particularly good at eating.
The diets of Easterners and Westerners have never been the same. The Han nationality is a farming nation, and the small-scale farming economy based on the family unit occupies a dominant position. In addition to cultivating the land and growing crops, the average Han family must also find ways to cultivate some land.
Vegetable plots, grow vegetables to enrich the table, and if possible, raise some poultry, which can provide some chicken, fish, meat and eggs.
Westerners are relatively lazy. They regard vegetables such as potatoes and onions in the eyes of Easterners as food rations. There are only a few dry meals on the table from beginning to end of the year. Looking at their kitchens can reflect their living standards.
, no soy sauce, and no vinegar. You must know that these condiments are made from grain. Westerners don’t even have enough grain to eat, so they have no spare time to make these things.
If things go on like this, the Han people have a big appetite, while the appetites of Westerners are relatively small.
Westerners have a small appetite, not because they don’t want to eat, but because there is too little to eat, and they are left alive for hungry children.
We have prepared dinner, but we can’t eat it yet. We have to go to the church for mass. This is a traditional ritual, just like the Chinese people who post couplets with the door god during the New Year.
The church is not far from where Foch lived.
There are churches all over France. Seriously, there are not as many schools and hospitals as there are churches combined.
Strictly speaking, Qin Zhiyuan was not a Catholic, so he did not have to go to Mass. But to show respect, Qin Zhiyuan still went with Foch and his family.
When he arrived at the church, Qin Zhiyuan failed to see the mass he had longed for. Someone was waiting for him, and it was Leder Auerbach who had been promoted to cardinal.
