Chapter 1436 Comparable to Wu Hai’s Appetite
Zhou Jia on the side seemed to have read through Gabriel's thoughts, and suddenly walked over and said quietly but firmly: "Hello sir, the containers in our store cannot be taken away and cannot be eaten."
"Okay, of course I know that." Gabriel nodded without blushing, then turned to the bamboo tube rice aside.
Gabriel reluctantly picked up the last piece of bamboo shoot soaked in the shallow soup in the bamboo tube and stuffed it into his mouth.
As for the chicken? Of course it had entered his stomach long ago, and only this piece of bamboo shoot was left in the entire bamboo tube.
The bamboo shoots Yuan Zhou chose were naturally winter bamboo shoots from green bamboo. The taste of winter bamboo shoots is completely different from that of spring bamboo shoots. Winter bamboo shoots have a cold and crisp texture, with a crisper texture, a thick but refreshing taste, and a richer taste.
Spring bamboo shoots are known as fresh. Taking one bite is like biting spring.
Of course, as a poor Frenchman who has never eaten spring bamboo shoots, Gabriel naturally does not know the difference between the two, but this does not affect his taste in judging.
The winter bamboo shoot slices soaked in chicken soup have a soy sauce flavor on the outside, but they are crispy and tender when chewed. The texture is a bit weird to him, but it is delicious.
"It is worthy of the expectations of three stars. It is well worth it." Gabriel looked at the soup in the bamboo tube, resisted the urge to pick it up and drink it, and then sighed.
But after sighing, I couldn't help but glance at the soup at the bottom of the bamboo tube, and kept telling myself: "I am a chef with three Michelin stars, so I can't be rude."
After repeating these words in Gabriel's mind a dozen times, he finally turned away and started eating other dishes.
Although his status as a three-star chef stopped Gabriel's imminent move, what actually stopped him were the two plates of other untouched delicacies left on the table.
There are two small bamboos on a plate. The thickness of these two bamboos is only four centimeters. Compared with the bamboo of the bamboo chicken just now, it is simply dwarfed. However, the curious Gabriel opened the small bamboo first. , instead of the duck wrapped in bamboo strips on the side.
This time Gabriel didn't need Zhou Jia's help to open the bamboo tube. Instead, he looked at the plate carefully. Sure enough, there was still a tool for opening the bamboo tube on it.
It was also a small green bamboo stick. Taking the small bamboo stick and sliding it slightly on the dark but smooth outer wall, Gabriel found the mechanism that could be opened.
"Click" insert the bamboo stick,
Then gently pry it open, and the bamboo slices will naturally separate into two pieces on the plate.
The rice grains wrapped in bamboo film are exposed inside. The rice grains are very sticky and take on the shape of a bamboo tube, exuding steam and fragrance.
The fragrant rice and the completely different fragrance of bamboo rushed into Gabriel's nose.
"The smell of this bamboo is actually different from the one just now. This one is sweeter and more fragrant, while the one just now has a refreshing fragrance." Gabriel smelled it carefully and then tasted it.
"I wonder how such a staple food tastes." Gabriel curiously stretched out his chopsticks to eat.
You must know that as a pure and authentic Frenchman, his staple food is usually French bread, and he rarely eats rice.
In other words, I have never tasted it since I came to Chengdu. I have only tried it abroad. I just felt that the texture is different and the taste is not bad. It can meet the novelty standard, not the standard expected by Samsung.
But the delicious bamboo tube chicken just now gave Gabriel enough confidence, so he picked up a bamboo tube-shaped piece of rice without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth with the bamboo film attached.
The bamboo film is somewhat like the glutinous rice paper wrapped around the milk candies I ate when I was a kid. It melts as soon as you put it in your mouth, with a faint bamboo fragrance, and the rice inside is revealed.
The bamboo tube rice made by Yuan Zhou is slightly different from others. He uses the famous Babao rice from Dian Province.
This rice has a sweet taste, is sticky but not greasy, is snow-white, and is as white as jade. It is larger than ordinary rice grains and slightly longer. The cooking time is short. The rice grains are soft, rich in stickiness, fragrant and delicious, and rich in oil, sweet, moist, and oily. Soft and delicate, but even if it is cold, it will not come back to life.
Not only is the tribute rice worth a hundred tons per year, but it is also known as the blue-blood noble. Its content of salt and protein is higher than that of ordinary rice, and it is rich in nutrients.
Rice with such characteristics complements each other even more when used to make bamboo tube rice.
Before eating, Gabriel thought like this: "I will taste the taste of the staple food first, and then eat it with the duck, just like bread with sauce."
"I heard that this is how China's staple food should be eaten." Gabriel had a wonderful thought.
However, the reality is that he finished two sections of bamboo tube rice in one go without stopping to take a breath.
The duck on the side was still a duck, lying there intact and unmoving.
"Oh my god, I forgot again." Gabriel looked at the two empty bamboo tubes with a confused look on his face.
This is exactly the same as when you accidentally finished eating it and prepared to savor the liver in a bamboo tube, which tasted like foie gras.
Yes, the chicken liver of the bamboo tube chicken just now had the same taste as the top-grade foie gras he had ever eaten. He originally planned to take two bites first and then savor it slowly and carefully, but instead he just ate it. I accidentally finished eating it.
At that time, Gabriel looked at the diabolo with a confused expression. History is indeed surprisingly similar.
"Phew, it's okay, I still have a duck." Gabriel turned his attention to the duck wrapped in bamboo strips.
This time Gabriel was really serious about slowing down and eating, but this was obviously embarrassment for a chef who was extremely passionate about food.
Likewise, soon the plate of duck with bamboo strips was sacrificed in his mouth again.
"Hey, the portion is really too small, less than the French food I cook." Gabriel couldn't help but sigh, opened his eyes and started talking nonsense.
It's not nonsense, French food is famous for being exquisite and sparse, but now he actually feels that the portions of Yuan Zhou's dishes are too small.
Gabriel really celebrates Arbor Day every day, and he doesn't feel a bit anxious about it.
Relying on the fact that no one knew about his identity as a French chef, Gabriel said to Zhou Jia sanely: "The portions of the dishes prepared by your boss are too small and not enough to eat."
"As long as you can eat it, you can order more." Zhou Jia said with experience.
"That's right, I can order more." After hearing this suggestion, Gabriel immediately nodded with his eyes.
Gabriel opened the menu again and happened upon the dish of French white wine mussels, and was instantly interested.
"Can you still cook this dish? You must try it." Thinking like this, Gabriel pointed out three dishes to Zhou Jia again.
A dish of French white wine mussels, a dish of Swedish meatballs, and a dish of Danish grilled pork neck. He is familiar with these three dishes and can judge them fairly.
Because he ordered three dishes again, Zhou Jia confirmed twice whether he could finish it, and Gabriel nodded confidently that he could finish it.
"This amount of food is comparable to Brother Wu's beast stomach." Zhou Jia couldn't help but mutter in her heart.
