Chapter 70 Food Is the Most Important Thing for the People
Adriana's injury was originally caused by Fan Wubing, so when Fan Wubing used the same source of zhenqi to recuperate her, the turbulent zhenqi was immediately guided to the correct track, and the blood of the whole body circulated It also returned to normal. After ten minutes, Adriana turned over and sat up like a normal person. (Provide the latest chapters to read>
But Adriana's reaction was very intense, and she raised a hand to slap Fan Wubing while naked.
Fan Wubing grabbed Adriana's arm, and then said to Giselle, "This is not good, it's not polite. You should maintain a little awe for the unknown areas."
Giselle looked at Fan Wubing's gaze at this time, and she was indeed a little in awe, so she covered her younger sister Adriana's body with a piece of clothing, and said, "Okay, sister. This gentleman Saved you, and he promised not to pursue us for entering his hotel room."
"Is that so, we should invite him to dinner to express our gratitude?" Adriana asked sharply, she looked at Fan Wubing with a very unfriendly look, after all, she was the one who slapped Fan Wubing inappropriately Yes, if you ask her to say something grateful at this time, wouldn't that be a bitch?
Even so, Giselle asked the servants at home to prepare lunch for Fan Wubing to eat together.
Their restaurant is very good. It seems to have a history of more than a hundred years. The crystal chandelier is not made of glass, but a real crystal chandelier. As for the table, it is not an ordinary material, but a whole piece of beech wood. land. As for the shining silver tableware and porcelain with various patterns and patterns, they are all family heirlooms.
When Fan Wubing picked up a blue and white porcelain and studied it with great interest. Adriana carefully reminded, "That porcelain bowl was obtained from your Manchu palace, and it should be worth at least ten thousand pounds."
"The burning of the Old Summer Palace, or the time when the Allied Forces of Eight Nations?" Fan Wubing thought to himself if this kind of thing came out of the palace. That must be the time when the British and French allied forces burned the Old Summer Palace or the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered Beijing. This thing is considered stolen goods! They just took it as their own, and then placed it on the dining table for banquets.
"No, our ancestors were real nobles. This thing was bought from your last emperor, and there are many similar things." Giselle replied.
"Your family is noble?" Fan Wubing asked curiously.
Although he knew that ordinary people might not have such a large piece of land and houses as their ancestral property, it was still difficult for Fan Wubing to associate the two female thieves with the word noble.
Unexpectedly, Adriana raised her face, looked at Fan Wubing with a condescending attitude, and said,
"Until now, my sister and I still have the title of hereditary earl."
"Really?" Fan Wubing turned his head and asked Giselle.
Giselle nodded. "Really."
Fan Wubing patted the armrest of the chair he was sitting on, thinking that today is really interesting, the two female thieves are actually earls, it seems that if there is a robber in Paris in the future, maybe he will be a duke, It's really hard to understand.
The way of thinking of the French is really very understandable. Taking these things in Giselle's house as an example, if you sell two of them, you can get a lot of money and make them live a very rich life. Instead of living in embarrassment like now. She also has to bear the risk of losing her reputation. It's really Qingben's beauty who can't be a thief.
But on second thought. Fan Wubing can also understand them a little bit, just like Laura in Tomb Raider. Doesn't she also have the title of Countess? It seems that Westerners have a completely different understanding of the word aristocrat than Easterners, and they cannot equate each other. This is caused by different national conditions and cultural differences.
The French are more particular about their meals, so the preparation time for this meal is not short. When the dishes are served, Fan Wubing will show up, and the cooks in Giselle's family are full of pride.
Although French cuisine ranks among the top Western cuisines, and the French have always been famous for being good at eating and being good at eating, from Fan Wubing's personal point of view, this is nothing more than a gathering of fresh food, there is really nothing wrong with it. The art of eating speaks volumes.
French cuisine is characterized by a wide selection of ingredients. For example, snails and foie gras, which are not eaten by Chinese people, are all delicacies in their French cuisine. The variety and other characteristics are nothing more than the simple cooking of the British.
Fan Wubing can say very responsibly that the process and technical content of making a home-cooked braised pork by himself is much more difficult than the so-called French feast.
Of course, although Fan Wubing felt a little disdain for the French dinner, but the two earl sisters wanted to invite him to dinner, and they made the arrangement so solemnly, Fan Wubing was embarrassed to refuse, otherwise, they would be let Feeling unkind.
Fan Wubing felt that the two earl sisters were useful, after all beauties should have the correct way to use them, not to mention the two sisters Giselle and Adriana are not only twins who are legendary She is a beautiful woman, and she also has the title of countess, which is very rare.
After the food and wine were served, the two sisters still dutifully introduced to Fan Wubing the traditional dishes of their family, as well as the wines that had been cellared for many years, and even the intricate cutlery.
French cuisine also pays more attention to eating half-cooked or raw food. For example, steak and leg of lamb are characterized by half-cooked and tender. Seafood oysters can also be eaten raw.
Their chefs pay more attention to seasoning, there are many types of condiments, and they also use wine for seasoning. There are strict regulations on what kind of wine to use for any dish, such as wine for clear soup, brandy for seafood, and various sweets for dessert. Wine or brandy or something. As cheese is used in many dishes and soups, they prefer to eat cheese, fruits and various fresh vegetables.
In the end, Fan Wubing looked at the table, and there were basically all the famous dishes in the French dinner, Marseille fish soup, foie gras steak, Paris lobster, red wine pheasant, saffron chicken, chicken liver steak and so on.
"Should I praise the chef?" Amidst the music, Fan Wubing raised his knife and fork, and then asked Giselle.
The French pay more attention to romance. Play some relaxing music while eating to make you feel better and eat more comfortably.
In fact, many European musicians before the 19th century served the princes and nobles at that time. Their main job was to play suitable music when they were eating or sleeping, so as to make them have a good appetite. Or sleep more soundly.
"Why do you say that?" Giselle asked curiously.
Fan Wubing replied, "I heard people say that the French like to praise the chef when they eat, the British pay attention to etiquette when they eat, and the Germans like to have a big meal. I don't know if this tradition still exists? "
Adriana said first, "Forget about this, anyway, they don't understand what you say, they only speak French."
Then Adriana looked at Fan Wubing, and said to him again, "Please, when eating Western food, you should hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand. You have confused this order."
Fan Wubing replied indifferently, "It's normal, I'm left-handed, and my habits are opposite to yours."
It should be said that the nutrition of these things on the table is very sufficient, but the taste can be described as hard to swallow. No wonder someone said before that Japanese people pay attention to form when eating, so their dishes are very delicate, Westerners pay attention to nutrition when eating, so their noses are big, only Chinese people pay attention to taste when eating, so their tongues are very sensitive, and they can speak Chinese well this unique language.
At this time, Fan Wubing had a deep understanding of what kind of life a normal French family lives. Although they exhibit a certain degree of industrial civilization, when it comes to treating themselves well, they are far behind the Chinese.
"If I use your kitchen to cook a few Chinese dishes to express my gratitude, I wonder if you and your chef will mind?" Fan Wubing, who ate a few mouthfuls of half-baked food, finally put forward his idea politely .
"Although something is wrong, we are also very interested in learning about Chinese cuisine." The two sisters replied after researching.
So Fan Wubing went into the kitchen of Giselle's house. Fortunately, there were everything he needed, including pots, bowls, knives, gas stoves, and many seasonings. He even found Chinese-made The soy sauce and vinegar are still intact. I really don’t know what they bought them for?
Half an hour later, Sister Giselle and her cooks and servants, like wild wolves who have been hungry for more than ten days, cleaned up the dozen dishes Fan Wubing fried and licked them with their tongues. The bottom of the plate was empty, obviously no soup was going to be left behind.
"God! Your Chinese dishes are more irresistible than the devil's temptation!" A chef sighed with pain, "From tomorrow on, I will learn how to cook Chinese food!"
Fan Wubing said confidently to the two sisters, "How about it? Follow me, you can eat well!"
At this time, he finally put forward his request, which is to let the two sisters become his subordinates and do things for him.
The talents of the two sisters can be seen, and they are very suitable for some intelligence work. Even if you don't plan to use them to enter the palace, you can use their aristocratic status to enter some high-level places that ordinary people cannot enter, and get some sensitive information.
The French are the people with the least position. As long as there is enough temptation, national defense secrets can be sold, not to mention some information that is beneficial to enter the French business world?
What Fan Wubing wants now is to spend two billion US dollars, how many planes can he get from Airbus? If the Frenchman has a bottom line, he wants to know where it is.
