Entertainment starts with travel

Chapter 113 Arriving in Lyon City

Since the audience in the live broadcast room was dovetailed for a day, Ye Kai then led the audience to have an eye-catching experience in Paris. In a few days, he drove the live broadcast to visit all the scenic spots in Paris.

Compared with domestic scenic spots, there are significantly more foreigners in Paris.

The foreigners that Ye Kai refers to are tourists from other countries besides French locals, among whom Chinese people account for a large proportion.

However, the number of foreign tourists in Huaxia scenic spots has gradually decreased, and even Huaxia people prefer to travel abroad.

If there is a suitable time, many people will immediately think of going to neighboring countries like Thailand and India instead of domestic attractions like Dali City or Jiuzhaigou.

Ye Kai feels that many domestic scenic spots have been seriously commercialized, and scenic spots are more like shopping malls than scenic spots.If there is no management, the ticket income of the scenic spot is likely to be greatly reduced in the next few years.

I wandered around in Paris for a few days, but Ye Kai remembered his purpose of coming to France, so he left Paris before the food festival and went to Lyon in the south to participate in the local food festival.

After getting off the car, Ye Kai saw Rupert waiting on the side of the road.

Tall and thin, with a well-groomed mustache around his mouth, he looks very energetic.

"Hi! Come on, you're finally here."

"Of course!"

Ye Kai got out of the car and shook hands with Rupert, shook his hand vigorously, and said, "I said I would definitely come."

Rupert was very enthusiastic and helped Ye Kai put his luggage in his car.

France is a country with a lot of self-esteem.

Perhaps it's because France's fashion, food and art are among the best in the world.Under this influence, they feel that everything in the world is the best in France.

Therefore, in communicating with the French, knowing a few words of French will definitely make the other party more enthusiastic.

Lyon is the second largest metropolitan area in France. It has been quite prosperous in Roman times and is one of the most important cities in France except Paris.

Rupert drove the car to a western restaurant and said, "This is a restaurant opened by my friend, and it's a Michelin one-star restaurant."

In France, there are more than 600 Michelin-star restaurants, of which there are more than 500 one-star restaurants, and the rest are two-star restaurants and three-star restaurants.

Even so, in the huge France, one-star Michelin restaurants are not common.

Michelin originally sold tires, but their leaders had the foresight and were very optimistic about the modern car travel industry, which is what Huaxia often calls self-driving tours.

They figured that if car travel boomed, their tires would sell better.

Therefore, they made a kind of restaurant guide to encourage people to go on a self-driving tour, so if they go on a self-driving tour, it will definitely wear out the tires, so it will definitely be good for him to sell the tires.

Logical genius.

Well, this is Ye Kai's own guess. Ye Kai doesn't know why the restaurant guide was published.

The place where Rupert brought him was in the middle of the streets in the city. The houses in Little Paris may be low in order to highlight the Eiffel Tower, but in the cities outside, high-rise buildings are very common.

So this place is no different from the metropolitan area of ​​Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, except that the name of the store has changed to French.

The black signboard reads in distorted English, Bryant, which probably means Bryant's restaurant.

The lighting of the restaurant is still the favorite warm color style of western restaurants. There is an enclosed area in the center of the restaurant, which is about ten square meters, and there are many exquisite chandeliers hanging inside.

The function of this kind of chandelier is not only decoration, but also renders the atmosphere of this restaurant.

Surrounding this area and along the walls of the restaurant, there are many rectangular tables, with tableware that can be used in western food neatly placed on the clean and tidy tablecloths.

It may be that the meal time has passed, there are very few guests here, only two tables of people are still enjoying lunch, and the waiter is bored and leans against the cashier with the menu, or cleans the table with a rag.

They all knew Rupert and greeted him with a smile when they saw him coming.

After Rupert nodded to them, he yelled to the kitchen: "Chef Ent, Chef Ent..."

Then a fat man came out.

He weighs more than 200 kilograms, wears a chef's uniform, but does not wear a chef's hat. The fat on his face squeezes his eyes, making his eyes into slits, and holds a can in his hand.

"Hello, are you what Rupert often says? My name is Bray Ent, just call me Ent."

Ye Kai stretched out his hand to shake his hand, and said, "Hi, call me Xiao En."

"Okay, Sean."

Shaking hands out of politeness, Ye Kai originally thought that Ent's hands would be a little greasy, but they were unexpectedly clean, without the smell of oily smoke that chefs often come into contact with.

Rupert pulled out a chair and said, "Sit down for a while, I have a dish for you to taste."

Ent also said: "Rupert blows you up to the sky, haha. Taste my craft too."

"Thank you."

Ye Kai simply sat down on the seat he opened. In European and American countries, you don’t need to go to courteously. They don’t have the habit of being courteous to each other like in Asia. They usually invite you to a banquet because they really want to invite you. .

The two chefs walked into the kitchen, as if they were going to prepare lunch for Ye Kai.

Although he already knew that there would be a tasting session, and this was the main reason why he came to France, Ye Kai was still a little excited. The Michelin chef specially prepared food for you alone.

Just thinking about it makes people feel excited, okay?
In the kitchen, Rupert has already started making preparations. He feels that if he conquers the taste buds of this Chinese person, he will surely conquer the taste buds of all Chinese people.

Poor Frenchman, he doesn't know that even Chinese people in a city have different tastes.

What's more, China is divided into north and south ingredients, eight major cuisines.

Ent is also preparing his best dishes. He is different from Rupert. Ent feels that no matter how good Chinese food is, it cannot be compared with French food.

He received Ye Kai for free because of Rupert's face and because he believed Rupert's bragging about Ye Kai.

It is hard to describe the magic of being able to taste the food production process from the finished dishes. If it can be done, then this Sean may be even more powerful than Ralph Ford.

Ralph Ford is one of the most famous food critics in the West. His comments are an important reference for Michelin two-star restaurants to be upgraded to three-star.

Rupert was chopping onions and carrots on a tool.

The food prepared by Ent was ready when Rupert went to the station to meet Ye Kai.

He looked at the numbers displayed on the thermometer, pulled out the steel needle inserted into the ingredients, and began to plate with cheese, truffles, and celery, and finally put the main food on the decorated plate.
