Unlimited Food Plan

"I know what happened to you, maybe you have misunderstood me now, but..." Jessica really couldn't bear to see such an excellent chef being treated unfairly.So she thought for a while, and patiently tried to persuade the young man not to refuse their help just because he was temporarily offended by James' behavior.

"Thank you for your kindness,? I know,? You and your friends must be very fair and gentle seniors." Du Changqiu smiled to comfort the little old lady.

For a good-natured old man like Jessica, even though he heard that they were actually the seniors and colleagues of that provocative James, Du Changqiu would not be angry, and his attitude was still very good.He patiently explained to Jessica that he really didn't need their help, nor the so-called judges and approval.

"Although that James is arrogant,? But he is right about one thing. Even though we can understand each other in terms of different dietary subjects, if it needs to be evaluated,? I hope it is our country's industry The master came to comment on my skills." Du Changqiu said to Jessica in a gentle voice.

"Food has no boundaries." Jessica frowned, and said, "I thought I could make such delicious beef short ribs and cheese,? You might have the same perception as us."

"Yes, food has no boundaries." Du Changqiu thought for a while, and when he saw a rice cake with yuzu sauce in front of Chaiyu, he brought it to Jessica and the others, "Come on, You guys try this, rice cake with yuzu sauce."

Jessica didn't quite understand, why they were talking about the judges, but this young man directly tried desserts for them.But this dessert looked very interesting, and she couldn't help but took a piece, because there were only a few pieces of rice cakes, Jessica spontaneously broke up and shared with the friends who surrounded her.

Everyone ate the rice cake with yuzu sauce in one bite, and were instantly surprised by the soft and delicate taste in the mouth.Tasting the rich flavor of sweet yuzu sauce and the rice cake itself, I feel that the whole mouth is full of sweet and fresh breath.

"What is this rice cake? It's delicious!" Jessica and the others' eyes lit up, and they discovered that there were too many surprises in this Guan family chef that they didn't know about.

"This is rice cake with yuzu sauce." Du Changqiu introduced the method of making rice cake with yuzu sauce. Everyone was surprised that rice can be made into such a soft dessert, and praised how delicious it was.

Du Changqiu used this to say: "Look, when you comment on this grapefruit rice cake, you will say that it has a delicate taste, the aroma of honey, and the sweetness of grapefruit sauce...but other than that, you can't taste it. The grapefruit I use is different in origin, and the sour and fragrant flavor is different. But in your local restaurants, an apple pie uses a certain kind of special apple from the southern farm. Special output...you can all distinguish clearly."

"Yes, you're right, but what does this have to do with us wanting to help you get a fair evaluation?" Jessica didn't understand.

"Because this in itself is an injustice." Du Changqiu looked at Jessica and said in a gentle voice, "Your staple food, cooking ideas, and even the direction of the entire food civilization are completely different from ours. You can clearly distinguish You can replace the food you are used to with our dishes. As ordinary diners, you can tell which is delicious and which is not, but when a group of chefs with similar differences compete on the same stage, you can distinguish each Are the ingredients used by the chef, the details of the collocation, ideas and innovation breakthroughs?"

Having said that, Jessica slowly showed a slight astonishment on her expression.

She thought, she understood what the young man in front of her meant.

He was mild-mannered, but in essence, he meant just as arrogantly as James.The meaning of this young man is very clear. Obviously, he feels that they are not qualified to judge which of his or even the entire Huaxia cuisine is delicious, and which one is worthy of three stars. They are not qualified to judge.

Because they don't understand Chinese food at all.

Jessica was stunned. After being stunned, a surge of anger surged in her chest. It was a sense of being offended that her professionalism was underestimated. She frowned, took a deep breath, and said with all her might, "We are professional. We have eaten food all over the world, and we have also selected star restaurants among countless Chinese cuisines!"

Although that has nothing to do with Jessica's age, but what she said is the truth.

"Then the restaurant you rated, has it really been widely recognized and praised by the local people? Has it maintained your previous credibility?" Du Changqiu's only words made Jessica's anger stuck in her throat. Can't even utter a word.

Because needless to say, in fact, everyone knows that Michelin has not opened up the scene in China. The so-called star restaurants they evaluated are sometimes even ridiculed by the crowd on the Internet, saying that they are worthy of cheating foreigners. fooled the judges.

Sometimes, when the new year comes out, one-sided comments will be received - "There is no good Chinese restaurant, what the hell!"

These are real speeches that can be found by searching the Internet casually, so Jessica didn't know what to say for a while.

"Young man, don't be so rude." The old friend next to him stood up and spoke up. He frowned at Du Changqiu and said, "We came here with good intentions."

"It is precisely because I know that you are well-intentioned that I can explain to you clearly why I don't need your evaluation." Du Changqiu looked straight back and said, "You know very well that you don't understand our food at all. The food you selected Those restaurants can’t represent Chinese cuisine at all, they can only represent your tastes. In fact, you are the ones who are rude. You are using your arrogant posture to try to surpass the culture of another country. Why should we use your standards? To decide our food?"

When Du Changqiu said this, he also felt a little unhappy. He saw the little old lady's good temper, so he explained patiently that he didn't need their help. Staring at him with condemning eyes, as if it was so outrageous for him to reject these people.

In several lifetimes, Du Changqiu has been a lord, a wise man, and a man with power over the world.But the identity he most identifies with himself is that he is one of the most food-loving people in every era.

He felt that what he said did not mean to offend anyone, what he said was the fact that he felt.After all, he had been a lord in the middle ages, and he had studied under real famous chefs in Daye all his life.It can be said that Du Changqiu is confident that Chinese and Western cuisines are definitely the most professional ones.

These two diets, thoughts and ideas, diet and historical evolution have created completely different diet civilizations.

Then, if you really respect another civilization, you will feel that your judges can rely on the knowledge of the country’s food civilization history, style, flavor, and even the unique local output and cultural evolution. Can one tongue decide whether the food of another civilization is good or not?

You must know that people are not machines, and people's feelings are influenced or even determined by their own preferences.

And a person's taste preference, from birth, is polished and shaped by the surrounding environment and eating habits, and it is impossible to produce one's own taste out of thin air.

To put it this way, many Chinese people have gone abroad to eat their steaks, and they can tell what is delicious and what is not. What apples, and even the method of extracting the apple juice, in what season were they picked...

is it possible?

Of course, for ordinary people, as long as they can tell whether it is delicious or not.

But the judges can't be like this. The delicacy made by a real top chef, under the full attention of the chef at the same time, there is very little difference.

There may even be no distinction between equals, and the taste cannot be distinguished.

At this time, new collocation styles, restoration or innovation of local dishes, innovations in various collocations... These are the keys to determine everyone's final evaluation.

And to be able to distinguish these differences, it is definitely not just about knowing food and having a sensitive tongue.

At least if you make a small tea feast for this group of people, what can they eat?Professor Yue An and his students had a tea feast, which brought tears to their eyes. They could taste the taste of books with a thousand years of history behind the tea feast.From this tea banquet, they can recall the elegance of the gentry thousands of years ago, and from this simple collocation, they can figure out the beauty of elegance represented by their ancestors for tea.

Therefore, this allows them to distinguish the tea banquet from ordinary roast chicken and rice balls, so this delicacy nourishes the soul from the lips and tongue.

Even the ordinary diners of the Guan family kitchen can taste the difference between out-of-home chicken and free-range chicken, ordinary chicken and three-yellow chicken from a simple shrimp paste chicken. The shrimp paste seems to be made by the boss himself. It is not the same as the general street food; you can feel how fresh and tender a mandarin fish is, and there is only a sweet and sour taste in the deep-fried sauce, and there is no extra oil to destroy the sweetness and crispness of the fish. From such a simple bite, you can taste the chef How perfect is his craftsmanship...

what is this?

This is the instinct of being born here all the year round, living here, and being nourished by the history and civilization of one's own country.

And this is something that these self-proclaimed absolute professionals simply cannot do.Although they also like food, for them, the dishes from other countries, if they suit their taste, are delicious, and if they don't suit their taste, they are not well prepared.

This is not Du Changqiu's nonsense. In fact, he checked the Chinese star restaurants evaluated by these so-called fair judges. There were no spicy three-star restaurants in them, and more of them were fresh and delicious restaurants that were more suitable for their tastes. Sweet cuisine.

With this knife, half of the country was cut off.Among the eight major cuisines, Shangxing restaurants basically focus on two of them.

This in itself is an extreme incomprehension of the entire Chinese food culture.

This kind of evaluation, which claims to be absolutely fair, is a kind of arrogance and narrow-mindedness in Du Changqiu's view.

"That's why I said, you are the ones who are rude." Du Changqiu looked at them and said, "Where do you have the courage to say so arrogantly that you can decide on the food culture of another civilization that is countless times longer than yours? Or even ...to judge its merits?"
