Chapter 1943 Braised Beef

Vienna's cafes are always clean and warm. They strive to maintain an ancient and exquisite life in the past.

Most of the waiters are still wearing black and white uniforms and neat bow ties, shuttling between the tables. They never address regular guests as "sir", but call them by their names or address them affectionately. Without the guest having to say anything, he will take them to their preferred seat and sit down, hand them their favorite newspaper, and then bring them their favorite coffee.

It is precisely because of these thoughtful services that guests who come to the cafe cannot help but feel emotional.

And drinking a cup of Viennese coffee in a Vienna cafe is the best companion for a lazy weekend or a leisurely afternoon.

However, this coffee is too high in calories, especially if you drink it at night. It is definitely the enemy of those who want to lose weight. Luo Yue gave up after taking two sips, and she would not be able to put on her wedding dress if she drank any more.

But for those who love chocolate, Vienna Coffee is sure to satisfy all your wishes.

Fortunately, what they are drinking now is European-style, traditional Viennese coffee. Compared with American-style Vienna coffee, it is undoubtedly higher in calories, so it is usually paired with lighter snacks.

To make American Vienna coffee, first put heavy cream and chocolate into a pan and melt it into chocolate syrup, then mix the chocolate sauce and black coffee.

Place a layer of granulated sugar at the bottom of a warm coffee cup, pour in a mixture of hot coffee and chocolate, then put two spoons of cold cream on the surface of the liquid, and finally decorate the cream with chocolate shavings or cinnamon powder to make American Vienna coffee. The key is the amount of chocolate, too much chocolate will mask the flavor of the coffee itself.

Coffee is something that Viennese people talk about and are quite proud of. Viennese people even compare it with music and waltz and call it the three treasures of Vienna. This shows the love between Viennese people and coffee.

Some people say that Vienna has coffee every five steps. This may be an exaggeration by the poet, but it is a fact that there are many coffeehouses in Vienna.

From coffee kiosks on street corners where people can stand and drink, to coffee shops where students gather near universities, to gorgeous and luxurious coffee shops next to theaters and near the imperial city, there are at least dozens of them. Some coffee shops open as early as 6:30 in the morning. It doesn’t close until 2 a.m., so it’s not an exaggeration to say that the air of the Music City is not only filled with the rhythm of music, but also filled with the fragrance of coffee.

Drinking coffee has become a part of life in Vienna. In a leisurely atmosphere, people only need to pay for a cup of coffee to meet friends in a cafe, play chess, read, write, read newspapers, or hang out in an inconspicuous place. Watching TV in the corner.

The most famous café in Vienna is the Central Café in the city center.

Before World War I, it had been a gathering place for famous poets, playwrights, artists, musicians, and diplomats.

Some people say that this is the cradle of many Austrian poems, plays, and poems. This may be an exaggeration, but the music masters Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and the waltz dynasty Strauss and his sons were all frequent visitors here.

Today's Viennese coffeehouses are not ordinary coffee shops that only provide coffee for people to drink. They are more like a public institution in Vienna, just like Stephen's Cathedral, the Ferris wheel and the Lipizzaner, they have become a part of Vienna. .

Vienna's coffee culture tradition can be traced back to more than 300 years ago. The Turks retreated in a hurry after being defeated during the siege of Vienna, leaving behind some green coffee beans that were still completely unknown in Vienna at the time.

A clever businessman bought all the beans and soon opened Vienna's first coffeehouse.

Alois owns several cafes in Vienna, but he doesn't usually go there. He leaves them to others to take care of. He earns a good profit every month, although it is nothing compared to his huge family assets.

After hearing this, Luo Yue was ready to open a cafe in Austria.

Alois suggested, "Instead of reopening, it is better to buy a few, but it is not easy to find. Most of the cafes in Vienna are run by their own families, and some have been operated for several generations. Even if they are given a high price, they may not be sold. "

After careful consideration, he said, "Let's do this. If you are really interested, I will ask the housekeeper to help collect information."

Luo Yue hesitated and looked at Yang Cheng. She didn't know whether she should agree or not.

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "Then please collect it. I will send someone over to take charge of the acquisition~"

"Okay, let's not talk about the little things tonight. Let's all have a good rest. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow~"

The Yang family said goodbye to the crown prince one by one, and everyone finally relaxed. Although everyone's status is not enough to show respect for a small crown prince, they still have to have the proper etiquette when they are outside, at least they cannot lose it. The face of his family.

After the crown prince left, Yang Sen suddenly said, "This person is a bit interesting~"

Yang Cheng wondered, "What's wrong? Why did you say that suddenly?"

Yang Sen said meaningfully, "It's nothing. Maybe I got distracted. I left and went upstairs to rest. I don't know which one is more comfortable, Vaduz Castle or your North Sea Manor."

After everyone went back to their rooms, Luo Yue said to Yang Cheng who was about to wash up, "Do you think a cafe can be used?"

"Of course you can. You don't have to take care of it yourself anyway. You can buy it and give it to the current operator. They can do whatever they want. Maintaining stable income every month is enough."

"I think so too, at least it's a guarantee, and I have no resistance to this kind of artistic sentiment~" Luo Yue stuck out her tongue cutely.

Yang Cheng touched her little head and said, "Whatever is here, buy it if you like it. It's not that you can't afford it. Compared with something you haven't had, what you have has is more valuable."

"Oh, why are you giving me chicken soup all of a sudden?"

"Have it?"

"Why not, but thank you for always being willing to support my ideas."

Yang Cheng laughed, "Nonsense, you are my wife, if I don't support you, who will support you?"

We talked a lot of disgusting love words, and finally, in order to save electricity and water, we took a shower together, and then. . . It was the next day.

. . .

It was almost early in the morning when I went to bed last night. After washing and bathing, I probably didn't fall asleep until late at night.

The two old people who were used to getting up early on weekdays rarely slept in, let alone Yang Cheng and the others. Farming all night was very tiring.

However, everyone did not have breakfast together. The chef prepared it and the servants delivered it to each room, in order to better experience the aristocratic life.

The newspaper of the day was also delivered with the breakfast. Last night the housekeeper specifically asked everyone about their preferences. There are newspapers from all over the world.

Perhaps to take care of their Z-country stomachs, breakfast is not the traditional sandwich or scrambled eggs, but the Austrian modified "braised beef", which is paired with breakfast bread. The Austrian version of "Beef Soup"!

The difference from the domestic braised beef is that the Austrian version puts butter and a lot of onions. Almost one kilogram of onions is needed for one kilogram of beef. Another difference is that in China, meat is used to make soup. to influence the taste of the soup, while the Austrian version uses the soup that has been prepared in advance to influence the taste of the final dish.

There is also a "soup-style" way of eating, especially during the Christmas period. It is a "classic reserved dish" in the Christmas market. Hollow out the big bread, put the braised beef into the bread, and tear the bread while eating ~ it seems like another It became "paomo beef".

The "popularity" of this dish in Austria and even all surrounding countries is equivalent to that of "mutton kebab" in China.

This is also one of the dishes in Viennese cuisine that is truly the most suitable for "beer"! It is also one of the few Western dishes where you can eat it without getting glared at!

Eating beef early in the morning may not be acceptable to most people, but Yang Cheng thinks it's not bad. At least the appetite is awakened first, and then the body can wake up.

Luo Yue held her belly pitifully, "If you come to Liechtenstein, you will gain at least two pounds."

Yang Cheng pointed to the bathroom, "Empty your stomach and you'll get back those two pounds~"

Luo Yue slapped Yang Cheng on the back and said in a tone of voice, "Friend, you have a bad temper recently~"

Yang Cheng acted in a melodrama, and quickly raised her waist, "Yes, yes, I've been a little moody lately, please forgive me~"

"Haha~ Okay, I won't quarrel with you anymore, hurry up and wash up and let's go. Where are we going to play today?"

"Let's go to Austria first? Now that we're here, we have to go shopping."

"Enough once!"

. . .

After washing up and before setting off, Luo Yue asked, "By the way, are you going to inspect the winery this time?"

"Yes, since Alois invited me, I definitely want to go shopping, and Austrian wine is indeed very famous. You also drank it last night. It has a very fruity aroma and is friendly to junior wine tasters. It's a pity. The production volume has not been increasing, so it is good to make high-quality products.

Of course, this is just my current thinking, and I have to conduct on-site inspections before I can draw any conclusions.

My main concern is that the Austrians won’t sell. Almost all wineries in Austria are suffering from droughts and floods, so if they are not very short of money, they may not be willing to sell. "

Luo Yue asked, "Buy it from Alois? I think he seems to be interested in wooing you~"

Yang Cheng was stunned for a moment, "Where did you see it?"

"Anyone with a discerning eye can see that. I think what dad said last night also meant the same thing~"

Yang Cheng frowned and fell into deep thought. Luo Yue held his arm and said, "Don't think about it now. If you really have another purpose, it will be revealed sooner or later~"

"That's right~"
