Chapter 29: Food without boundaries, opening of taste buds
Just as Boss Tang finished speaking, Ya Heng and Corporal Lin En came to their senses. Corporal Lin En looked at Chu Long with surprise and said, "I didn't expect that you still have such observation skills. You have great potential as a detective!"
"I didn't expect that, Chu Long, you surprised me again!" Ya Heng said with a sigh.
"Boss Tang, we'll talk about other things later. Let's eat first." Chu Long looked at the tavern owner and said.
"Ah! Yes, yes, look, I was so busy chatting, I even forgot that you didn't eat!"
"Xiao Li, bring the menu." Boss Tang said to another waiter on the second floor who was coming out of the private room.
"Okay, boss." Waiter Xiao Li walked quickly downstairs.
"Mr. Chu, your observations are so meticulous! After you summarized the little details about me, you concluded that I am a chef. Not to mention, the corporal always thought that I was just the owner of the tavern. He didn't know
My identity as a chef!" Boss Tang looked at Chu Long and said with a smile.
"Boss Tang, don't stand all the time! This is your tavern. If others see it, they will think we don't let you sit down!"
"Sit down and chat." Chu Long looked at the tavern owner standing next to Corporal Lin En. He felt that it was quite awkward to have a conversation with him from low to high, so he simply asked the other party to sit down and chat.
"I'll go to the kitchen to take a look first, and I'll come over later. You guys can order first." After finishing speaking, Boss Tang walked downstairs.
At the same time, the waiter Xiao Li, who had just gone downstairs to get the menu, walked upstairs, handed the two cookbooks into the hands of Chu Long and Corporal Lin, and stood at the table waiting for them to order.
Chu Long opened one of the cookbooks, and the first thing he saw was Chinese food. The names of the dishes were marked in three languages: Chinese, English, and French. The reason why there were only three languages was because France, next to the United Kingdom, is the nearest country.
, more people come, and Chinese is indispensable in the original dish names. The main reason is that there are too many languages, which makes people feel that this is not a recipe, but a multi-lingual dictionary.
Mapo tofu, tangerine peel chicken, spicy fish diced are authentic Sichuan cuisine, dry-fried beef river, clay pot rice, and salt-baked chicken are Cantonese cuisine. The Chinese dishes on the menu are mainly Sichuan cuisine and Cantonese cuisine, and of course there are some other places.
of
There are dishes, but very few. The second half of the menu is French food, which is much simpler than Chinese food. You can tell by the names of the dishes, such as braised veal in white sauce, crispy onion soup, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes and bell peppers.
What is the material?
Chu Long and Corporal Lin En exchanged recipes. Corporal Lin En's book mainly contained British dishes, but there was also a small amount of Mexican food. It seemed that the chefs in this tavern were from all over the world!
After Chu Long handed the menu to Ya Heng, he said to the waiter Xiao Li: "A bowl of smoked fish silver noodles, onion soup, roasted grain duck, that's it." After saying that, Xiao Li was also taking notes.
The book is finished.
"Crispy rice rolls, French pan-fried foie gras." As soon as Chu Long finished speaking, Ya Heng ordered two more dishes.
Corporal Lin took two cookbooks and flipped through them. Finally, five minutes later, he looked at the waiter Xiao Li who had been waiting at the table and said: "Ma Po Tofu, grilled Camembert cheese, a bottle of dry Bordeaux
Red." After saying that, he nodded towards Xiao Li.
The waiter Xiao Li walked quickly downstairs and went to the kitchen to report the menu.
"Corporal, it seems you also like Chinese food." Chu Long just asked when he saw Corporal Lin En ordering Mapo Tofu.
"When I first came here, Dean Charles ordered this dish. I have never eaten it myself, but when I tasted the first bite of tofu, the fresh and tender texture, moderate spiciness and refreshing taste left a deep impression on me.
!" When Corporal Lin En heard Chu Long's question, he seemed to recall the scene when he ate Mapo Tofu for the first time, with a look of aftertaste on his face.
Looking at Corporal Lin En's appearance, Chu Long thought to himself that the food in this tavern was indeed extraordinary, otherwise it would not have left such a deep impression on Corporal Lin En. He would like to try Mapo Tofu later.
When Chu Long was still Aldrich, he followed his parents by boat back to Shanghai, China, where he ate the authentic Mapo Tofu made by Sichuan people. It was really impressive, even now after the soul fusion of Chu Long
I have never eaten it, but I can still feel the taste of the delicious food from the depths of my memory, and the feeling left in my mouth.
Time passed little by little while Chu Long and Corporal Lin were discussing the food in this restaurant, making people unable to feel the passage of time. The discussion about the food made them forget all about time, even if the food was relatively different.
It will be later. But this is normal. After all, the temptation of delicious food can make people forget everything at a specific time and place.
Food has no national boundaries. Foodies exist everywhere in the world, whether in ancient times or modern times, even on alien planets. The four Chu Long people are all foodies except for the soldier. Yaheng opened a hotel in

As a member of Dean Charles' escort, he also ate a lot of delicious food. Deep in Chu Long's memory, he also had the experience of following his parents to taste delicious food around the world when he was a child. As a senior military officer, he also ate all kinds of delicious food.
Some of them use alien plants and animals as ingredients.
During the chat, time passed quickly. The waiter Xiao Li brought up the smoked fish silver noodles ordered by Chu Long. The hot smoked fish silver noodles were placed in front of Chu Long. Since it was a Chinese food, chopsticks were used.
Indispensable. Chu Long picked up the smoked fish with chopsticks and took a bite. The fish meat seemed to melt in his mouth. It was so beautiful.
The flavorful soup and delicate texture immediately made Chu Long feel satisfied. The crispy texture rolled with chewing, stimulating the taste buds every minute. In an instant, all that was left was the smoked fish.
Fish bones, spit out the fish bones, and the taste left in his mouth made Chu Long have to chew twice more to keep the taste in his mouth.
When Chu Long was eating smoked fish, the aroma reached the nose of the nearby Corporal Lin En. He sniffed it gently, looked around and found that no one noticed his gaffe, and then looked at the smoked fish silver that Chu Long was eating.
Silk Noodles swallowed his saliva, maybe because he was hungry or because the taste was really attractive. Corporal Lin stopped the waiter Xiao Li who was about to go downstairs to get other dishes and told him that he also wanted a bowl of smoked fish silver noodles.
.
Xiao Li nodded and left again. Compared with Corporal Lin En's appearance, Yaheng was not bad, but the taste just now was really good. He still had an appetite to eat other delicacies, so he didn't ask for one.
Bowl of noodles.
After Chu Long quickly ate a few pieces of smoked fish while it was hot, he picked up the white and silky noodles in the bowl and started eating them. The noodles were also not inferior to the taste of smoked fish. The thin noodles were eaten in his mouth.
It's chewy and chewy! Soon, the noodles with excellent texture were also quickly "annihilated" by Chu Long. Even the noodle soup was drunk dry and quiet in the end, and the bowl was cleaner than it was washed!
In the following time, the delicacies ordered by Chu Long and others were brought to the table one after another. After the mapo tofu was brought to the table, Corporal Lin put down the uneaten smoked fish silver noodles and shook it with a spoon.
Put a spoonful into your mouth and the taste is still worth savoring. It is moderately spicy and the aroma permeates from the tofu. It is really a delicious experience!
Seeing the intoxicated expression on Corporal Lin En's face, Chu Long also shook a spoonful and put it into his mouth. The taste was indeed good and authentic. Although he had not tasted it in person, the fresh and tender taste left in his memory could not be faked.
It seems that Boss Tang’s cooking skills are really good. Whether it is the smoked fish silver noodles or the Mapo Tofu in his mouth now, they are all three flavors! It’s no wonder that he can become famous in a capital like London.
Come on, your ability is indeed extraordinary!
Compared with other dishes, roasted grain duck takes a longer time. It is only placed on the table after most of the food on the table has been eaten. Chu Long picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. The aroma overflowed in his mouth, and there was a hint of...
The refreshing feeling that hits the nose instantly elevates the taste to a new level, just like coming back from surfing on the beach in summer and seeing a beautiful woman in a swimsuit. This taste is really unforgettable!
Seeing Chu Long's intoxicated expression after eating delicious roasted grain duck, Ya Heng and Corporal Lin were surprised. Since coming to London, they have eaten in many restaurants, almost
No other tavern made him express so many emotions as this one today.
Maybe because I have traveled all over the world and tasted so much food since I was a child, I no longer have such a great feeling. This also made Corporal Lin En and Ya Heng jealous for a while! They can go to taste food all over the world.
