Chapter 2033 Little Plum Is Here

A chef's skills are reflected in many aspects: knife skills, heat, control of taste, etc. For Chinese chefs, the use of fire has always been unique. From Chef Chen's mouth, I can hear the opinions of a foreign chef on heat It’s really not easy to receive the highest praise in this regard.

However, this kind of evaluation can reassure Yang Cheng. He was also worried about hiring another chef at the same time, fearing that the two chefs would fight if their ideas did not match, but now it seems that he underestimated the chefs' broadmindedness.

Besides, there is no dignity issue involved at all. We are just making money together, so there is no need to cause trouble.

As the conversation returned to the wedding banquet, Chef Chen said, “Except for the pufferfish just now, the other dishes on this wedding banquet menu are mainly Huaiyang cuisine.

Firstly, I am the best at it; secondly, Huaiyang cuisine can appeal to many people and is more easily accepted by Westerners. "

Yang Cheng nodded in agreement, "Of course, this is why I invited you, Chef Chen. Huaiyang cuisine can still be served at a state banquet even if it doesn't have delicacies from the mountains and seas."

Chef Chen's eyes lit up, "Mr. Yang knows how to eat. Yes, he pays attention to Huaiyang cuisine that comes from time to time. He pays attention to the best shelf life of the ingredients, which actually far exceeds the value of the ingredients themselves.

'Drunk crabs cannot watch the lanterns, wind chickens cannot watch the lanterns, swordfish cannot watch the Qingming Festival, and sturgeons cannot watch the Dragon Boat Festival.' This rule that changes from time to time ensures that the gourmet ingredients on the plate come from the best condition, allowing people to experience wonderful things at any time. Huaiyang.

As Mr. Yang said, why are Huaiyang dishes so popular at state banquets?

It’s because Huaiyang cuisine can please everyone!

Moreover, it belongs to ‘literati cuisine’ and has cultural connotations. "

Yang Cheng smiled and said, "I remember that Premier Zhou is from Huai'an and loves Huaiyang cuisine. However, the main reason why Huaiyang cuisine has become a state banquet dish is that it can satisfy the taste requirements of 'lower Riba people' and 'Yangchun Baixue' at the same time. Its There are many features that other cuisines in country Z do not have.

Many of the people who attended the state banquet back then were older people, and the gentle Huaiyang cuisine could satisfy the appetite and digestion requirements of most people.

Sichuan cuisine is relatively spicy, Shandong cuisine is rich in oil and red sauce, and has a strong taste. Northern cuisine has a lot of barbecue, which is demanding on the teeth and stomach. Cantonese cuisine has a lot of raw seafood, which is difficult for the stomach and intestines to adapt to. After such a comparison, it is not surprising that Huaiyang cuisine stands out. "

Chef Chen really didn’t expect Yang Cheng to talk so much about Huaiyang cuisine, and was a little overjoyed, “Yes, Huaiyang cuisine is known as literati cuisine and scholar-official cuisine, because YZ has a profound historical and cultural heritage and numerous literati. Catering is also an integral part of YZ culture. Many dishes have an inescapable relationship with YZ’s historical celebrities, chess, calligraphy and painting, schools of thought, and salt merchants.

Such dishes can naturally conform to and represent the catering culture and level of state banquets.

It can also be used for wedding banquets to enhance the style. "

Yang Cheng continued, "Yes, they say that the cuisine of Country Z is not exquisite. Those who say this have never tasted the exquisite cuisine of Country Z. As far as the exquisiteness of Huaiyang cuisine at the state banquet is concerned, it will take another ten or eight years to learn Western food. You don’t necessarily learn the essence.”

This is by no means a deliberate pandering. Yang Cheng has traveled all over the country and eaten a lot of delicious food over the years. Not to mention the specialties of other countries, the Cantonese cuisine of country Z has put a lot of effort into seasoning; Sichuan cuisine is inseparable from chili; Shandong cuisine is heavy on oil and lacks oil. No; Huaiyang cuisine pays more attention to knife skills and cooking skills.

Yangzhou's dry shreds are of the same length and thickness. A Wensi tofu dish shows the chef's knife skills to the extreme. A small piece of tender tofu needs to be cut into 5,000 shredded tofu.

There is also the Sunflower Big Chopped Meat, also commonly known as "Lion's Head", which is also a special test of knife skills. It is not "chopped", but cut with one knife, and finally cut into granular meat pieces. The size and thickness are the same to the naked eye. It is precisely because of the craftsmanship that the lion head melts in your mouth and is so wonderful.

Moreover, Huaiyang cuisine pays more attention to the shape, beauty and bright colors; the white sauce stew is unique, with the taste of fresh red yeast rice, and the food has a strange fragrance.

The taste is sweet, especially WX, thick but not greasy, light but not thin, crispy and fall off the bone without losing its shape, smooth and tender without losing its taste.

Xuhai cuisine is originally close to the Qilu style, with all kinds of meats and animals being used, and the aquatic products are dominated by seafood. The dishes are rich in color and salty in taste. The cooking techniques are boiling, frying, deep-frying, etc.

Huaiyang cuisine can be said to be all-inclusive. With fine knife skills and various cooking methods, it should be able to satisfy the well-informed and picky guests at the wedding.

. . . . . .

The food tasting lasted a whole day, from morning to night. They drank four large pots of tea just to promote digestion. When they left the restaurant in the evening, Yang Cheng and Luo Yue helped each other out.

I never thought that one day I would feel that eating is a very troublesome and tiring thing. The key is that you don’t have to do it, you don’t have to help, and you don’t have to wash the dishes. Who can bear this?

But today's work is not over yet. Luo Yue also made an appointment with people from the wedding planning company in the evening, and all details including the wedding ceremony procedures need to be finalized.

Now Luo Yue is still struggling with whether to have a Western-style wedding or a traditional Chinese-style wedding.

Anyway, Yang Cheng has completely let it go. Leave these things to Luo Yue to worry about. He is only responsible for signing the final check.

While Luo Yue was having a heated discussion with people from the wedding company, Yang Cheng plunged into the swimming pool. He was trying to lose weight. The wedding was about to happen, so he had to keep in good shape. He ate a bit too much today. , it must be consumed.

After swimming 2,000 meters in different swimming styles, he panted and climbed ashore. White quickly gave him a bath towel, fearing that he would catch a cold. It was almost March, and the temperature in Los Angeles was getting higher day by day, but it was located in Beverly Hills. , it’s still a bit cold in the evening.

I put on a towel, drank an energy drink, and had a good shout.

Luo Yue and the people from the wedding company who were not far behind her were so frightened that they all looked over. Luo Yue muttered angrily, "I'm out of my mind~"

Yang Cheng didn't care what others thought. He was lying on a chair on the shore wrapped in a bath towel, looking at the neon city of Angels, feeling very good.

"By the way White, you sent me an email last time and said that someone asked about the price of our estate?"

"Yes sir, the person asking the price is LeBron James~"

"The LeBron who plays basketball?"

"It's him~"

"He's coming to Los Angeles? Otherwise, why would he be looking for a house here~"

"I haven't heard any relevant news~" White said truthfully after thinking about it seriously.

Yang Cheng laughed and said, "Did you reply to him?"

"Yes, I told him that we have no intention of selling the house and thank him for asking the price~"

"Hmm~ I guess he just gave it a try once we want to sell it~ But how much did he bid?"

"He said he could offer a price of 80 million, but he would have to pay it in installments~"

Yang Cheng smacked his lips, 80 million. When he bought this manor, the actual cost was less than 50 million. In the past two years, it has increased by 60%. It is worthy of Beverly Hills.

Of course, he didn't want to sell it. The house was very comfortable to live in, with a good location, a good view, and complete entertainment facilities. If he didn't lack money, there was really no need to sell it!

The discussion over there was in full swing, but Yang Cheng was staring at the night scene in a daze. Maybe it was Wen Qing's illness, and he felt a little melancholy for a while. He couldn't help but think of his previous life. He always felt like he was dreaming now.

Of course, he is sure that the dream will not wake up, because this is the ending style 10 years ago and has long been outdated.

Just when he was bored and thinking wildly, the servant came over and reported that Xiao Lizi's car was outside the door. This guy came to the door without saying hello. Yang Cheng really wanted to shut him out.

After thinking about it, there were still outsiders here, and they probably heard the servant's report. If they drove Xiao Lizi back, the news would spread throughout Los Angeles in a few hours.

Yang Cheng doesn't believe in the integrity of so-called professionals. This is an entertainment country. Who doesn't have the spirit of gossip when you are in the center of the entertainment industry?

Asking the servant to invite Xiao Lizi in, Yang Cheng also went upstairs to change clothes. When he came down, he was already chatting with Luo Yue.

Seeing Yang Cheng come down, Luo Yue wisely left some space, "You guys chat, I have something to do over there~"

Yang Cheng gave him a soft kiss, took Little Plum to the bowling alley, and poured him a glass of whiskey herself, "Why are you here suddenly?"

"I just got home and heard the housekeeper say that you might have returned to Los Angeles, so I came up to see you. It's been a long time since I've seen you~"

Li Zi is still so handsome. Judging from the length of his beard, he probably hasn't shaved in two months.

"It's been a long time indeed. How are you doing?"

"It's okay. Apart from guest appearances, I went to a Caribbean island for vacation. Life is as boring as ever~"

Yang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Fuck, your life is still boring? Have you changed models recently?"

Xiao Lizi proudly rolled his hair, "That's my hobby, you don't understand~"

"Shit, go to your damn hobby~"

"Ha, to be honest, the complete script of "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" has been released, and the crew has started preparations. It is expected to start filming in the second half of this year."

"So fast? Didn't it mean that it would take 18 years at the earliest?"

"Quentin suddenly became passionate. You know, his character cannot be understood by normal people~"

"Okay, so you're completely fine now?"

"Yes, that's why I said it's boring~"

"Then let me find you something to do?"

"for example?"

Yang Cheng casually pressed the integrator, then picked up the bowling ball and threw it out. A graceful arc passed through it and fell out of bounds.

"Haha~ Your skills are so bad~"

Yang Cheng defended awkwardly, "I haven't played for a long time, I'm a hand student~"

"Look at me~" Xiao Lizi picked up a ball excitedly and threw it out without any gesture at all.

A second later, "哐啷~哐啷~哐啷~" the bottle fell down in response, and it hit the target!

"Oh yeah~" DiCaprio jumped up excitedly and pumped his fist in the air. Messi's excitement about winning the World Cup probably ended there.

Yang Cheng was speechless, what about it?

But it was really embarrassing. He was known as an all-around athlete. He waved his hands half-heartedly. He must have spent too much energy just swimming, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a mistake.

"You lost Jason, tell me quickly, what job are you going to arrange for me? Let's first say it, I don't act, I need to find the status for the next role!"
