As a matter of fact, it wasn't Gabriel's fault. At first, the Bamboo Tube Chicken looked ordinary. It was just a pitch-black and shiny bamboo tube with a big green leaf stuffed at one end and no fragrance could be smelled.
"What's wrong with it?" Gabriel looked at Zhou Jia who was carrying the dishes over.
"One moment," Zhou Jia said mildly. Then, she carried out all the dishes on the tray and began to unwrap them.
The Bamboo Tube Chicken was placed in a green oval plate. There was a groove in the middle of the plate and these grooves happened to block the round bamboo tube so that it wouldn't roll.
At the other groove of the plate, there was a small green stick that looked like a short chopstick.
"You can pick this up and then gently poke at this spot," Zhou Jia said while gesturing.
"Ok." Gabriel picked up the short stick that looked like a pin and poked at the spot that Zhou Jia pointed at.
With a light poke, a crack immediately appeared on the seemingly seamless bamboo tube. As he increased his strength, the crack split into a whole line. Then, Gabriel lifted it up lightly and the bamboo tube was immediately opened.
It revealed a whole fat chicken with a glossy brown and glossy appearance inside.
That's right. There was a whole chicken in the bamboo tube. As the lid was officially opened, a fragrance mixed with the fragrance of the bamboo and the chicken directly rushed to the tip of the nose.
The whole chicken was tightly wrapped in the bamboo tube. Apart from the outside being burnt pitch-black, the inside still maintained the original color of the bamboo wood. A shallow broth seeped out from the bottom of the bamboo tube. Under the lamplight, it glistened with a glossy gloss, looking very tempting.
"Wow, what a special fragrance," Gabriel was instantly intoxicated and said.
"It's a little difficult," Gabriel was a chef, but he really wasn't good at using chopsticks.
Therefore, he was a little embarrassed when he looked at the chopsticks on the table and the whole chicken in the bamboo tube.
"Only looking but not eating. This is simply the greatest torture in the world." Gabriel, who didn't know how to use chopsticks, frowned in distress. In the end, he couldn't stand the smell and picked up the chopsticks.
As a European, Gabriel's physique was naturally impressive. He was 1.8 meters tall and had thick palms. Because he didn't know how to use chopsticks, when he held the chopsticks, it didn't look like he was holding them, but more like he was holding a long sword.
Fortunately, he was a chef after all. After testing his hands for a while, he finally found a suitable position and directly rushed towards the bamboo chicken.
Gabriel's use of chopsticks is naturally different from Chinese people. We use the method of pinching, while he uses the method of poking.
The chopsticks went straight for the chicken breast. The chicken meat was soft and tender, and the chopsticks that weren't sharp pierced into the meat.
He could clearly see the chopsticks piercing into the intact chicken skin, and then into the soft and tender chicken. When Gabriel wanted to use force to pick up the chicken, the chicken was separated into a piece of moderate-sized chicken along with Gabriel's chopsticks.
"Oh my god, is this all cut?" Gabriel instantly realized that the whole chicken was actually not a whole chicken.
Gabriel couldn't be bothered to stuff the chicken meat into his mouth. He exerted a little force, and the intact chicken meat in the bamboo tube immediately broke into small pieces. Each piece emitted a rich fragrance, and the ingredients in the chicken's stomach could be seen.
There were jade-white slices of magnolia, some fragrant mushrooms, and a chicken liver that looked intact but had already been sliced.
"Amazing craftsmanship and knife skills." Gabriel praised sincerely, "If I didn't try it myself, I wouldn't have realized that this is not a whole chicken, but a piece of chicken meat that has already been cut and can be eaten directly."
"As expected of Head Chef Chu's recommendation." Gabriel looked at Yuan Zhou in surprise, and in his heart, he raised his expectations for Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship.
In order to avoid being disappointed, Gabriel had a habit of raising his expectations before tasting food. For example, he didn't have any expectations for the snacks that made him unable to take a step forward. That was why he found them so surprising and delicious.
His expectations for Yuan Zhou all came from Chu Xiao's commentary. Therefore, his expectations for Yuan Zhou were at two stars. After all, he didn't think that Chinese cuisine could match his taste buds.
But now, he had officially raised his expectations to three stars, looking forward to an extremely delicious meal.
Gulp. Gabriel put down his chopsticks solemnly and picked up the water in the welcoming set meal. He drank the water repeatedly to dilute the taste in his mouth. In the end, he even ate the aftertaste sweets before picking up his chopsticks again.
"That's it." After Gabriel felt that there was no smell in his mouth, he picked up his chopsticks again and stuffed a piece of chicken breast into his mouth.
The top of the chicken breast was connected to a thin layer of reddish-brown chicken skin, and the bottom was the tender jade-like chicken meat.
When he looked closer, he could even see the strands of chicken meat. Gabriel stuffed it into his mouth in one gulp.
Instantly, a stream of extreme freshness rushed straight into his throat, mixed with the fragrance of shiitake mushrooms, the freshness of bamboo, and the freshness of the main character chicken meat. All of a sudden, a unique banquet was opened in his mouth.
"Wow, it's really delicious." Gabriel sighed vaguely.
When he chewed, the tenderness of the chicken meat surprised him again. Theoretically, the chicken breast was the toughest because it didn't have any oil. However, the bamboo chicken breast cooked by Yuan Zhou was incredibly smooth and tender. It had the unique texture of chicken breast and every strand of chicken meat was wrapped in the smooth texture of chicken broth.
The most special thing was the piece of chicken skin connected to the chicken breast. It tasted crispy and tough with a special texture. Not only was it not greasy at all, but it also had the fragrance of grease.
"What a wonderful taste." While sighing with emotion, Gabriel kept eating the chicken with his chopsticks.
Although Gabriel didn't know how to use chopsticks, he seemed to be self-taught when eating such delicacies. His chopsticks danced in the air and the chicken meat in the bamboo tube was reduced ceaselessly.
Occasionally, when he ate some white jade-like bamboo slices, the crispy and tender texture made Gabriel exclaim again. He couldn't stop eating anymore.
"Delicious. It's a strange delicacy." Gabriel said while eating.
"I think I finally understand why pandas love to eat bamboo." Gabriel couldn't help sighing with emotion.
That's right. The reason why Gabriel ordered the dishes related to bamboo was because of the pandas. After all, this guy was the national adorable pet. As a chef, Gabriel had long been curious about the taste of bamboo and naturally wanted to try it when there was a chance.
Therefore, there were three dishes related to bamboo this time.
"It's really too delicious. It's a pity that my country doesn't have it." Gabriel poked the bamboo tube with his chopsticks regretfully.
"I wonder if it's edible." Gabriel looked at the bamboo tube that had been roasted black and thought seriously.
