Standing at the side, Zhou Jia seemed to have seen through Gabriel's thoughts. She suddenly walked over and said in a low but firm voice, "Hello, sir. The containers of our restaurant can't be taken away. They can't be eaten."
"Okay. Of course, I know that." Gabriel nodded without blushing and then turned to the bamboo tube rice beside him.
Reluctantly, Gabriel picked up the last piece of bamboo shoot soaked in the shallow broth and stuffed it into his mouth.
As for the chicken? Of course, it had already entered his stomach. There was only this piece of bamboo shoot left in the entire bamboo tube.
The bamboo shoot Yuan Zhou chose was naturally the winter bamboo shoot of Qingzhu. The taste of winter bamboo shoots was completely different from that of spring bamboo shoots. Winter bamboo shoots had a kind of coldness and crispness, with a kind of heavy but refreshing taste and a richer taste.
Spring bamboo shoots, on the other hand, could be described as fresh. Eating one bite was like biting into spring.
Of course, as a poor Frenchman who had never eaten spring bamboo shoots, Gabriel naturally didn't know the difference between the two, but that didn't affect his sense of taste.
The winter bamboo shoots soaked in the chicken broth had the fragrance of soy sauce on the outer layer, but when chewed, they were crisp and tender. The taste was a little strange to him, but it was quite delicious.
"No wonder it's a three-star chef's expectation. It's worth it." Gabriel looked at the broth in the bamboo tube and resisted the urge to take it up and drink it. Then, he sighed with emotion.
But after that, he couldn't help looking at the broth at the bottom of the bamboo tube and then warned himself in his heart, "I'm a Michelin three-star chef. I can't be impolite."
After repeating that in his heart for more than 10 times, Gabriel finally looked away and started to eat other dishes.
Although the identity of a three-star chef had stopped Gabriel's eager hands, what he actually stopped was the two plates of other dishes that hadn't been touched yet.
There were two small bamboos in one of the plates. The two bamboos were only 4 centimeters thick, which was dwarfed by the bamboo used for the bamboo chicken. However, as curious as he was, Gabriel still opened the small bamboo first instead of the duck wrapped in bamboo strips.
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 were tools to open the bamboo tube on it.
It was also a small green bamboo stick. Gabriel held the small bamboo stick and slid it on the dark but smooth outer wall. Then, he found the switch that could be activated.
With a sound of "Ka Da", the bamboo stick was inserted into the bamboo stick and then gently pried open. The bamboo piece was naturally separated into two pieces on the plate.
Rice grains wrapped in bamboo film were exposed inside. The rice grains were tightly glued together in the shape of a bamboo tube. Steam and fragrance were rising from them.
The fragrant smell of rice and bamboo, which was completely different from before, rushed into Gabriel's nose.
"The smell of this bamboo is actually different from the one just now. This one is sweeter while the one just now is more fragrant." Gabriel sniffed it carefully and then said.
"I wonder how the main dish tastes like." Gabriel reached out his chopsticks curiously and prepared to pick it up.
As an authentic Frenchman, his main dish was usually French bread and he seldom ate rice.
Or to be exact, he hadn't eaten it before in Chengdu City and had only tasted it when he was abroad. He only felt the texture was different and the taste wasn't bad. It could reach the novelty standard instead of the standard expected by a three-star restaurant.
However, the delicious bamboo tube chicken just now gave Gabriel sufficient confidence. Therefore, he picked up a bamboo tube shaped rice and stuffed it into his mouth together with the bamboo film without hesitation.
The bamboo film was similar to the glutinous rice paper wrapped around the milk candy that he ate in his childhood. Once it entered his mouth, it melted and carried a faint bamboo fragrance. Immediately, the rice inside was revealed.
The bamboo rice cooked by Yuan Zhou was slightly different from others. He used the famous Eight Treasure Rice of Dian Province.
The rice tasted fragrant and sweet, sticky but not greasy. It was snow-white and as white as jade. The rice grains were larger than ordinary rice grains and slightly longer. The cooking time was shorter. The rice grains were soft and rich in viscosity. Besides, it was fragrant and delicious. Besides, it was rich in oil, sweet and moist, soft and delicate. Even if it was cold, it wouldn't come back to life.
Not only did they have to pay tribute of 100 tons of rice every year, they were also known as blue-blood nobles. The fen and protein content of the rice were higher than ordinary rice grains and rich in nutrients.
The rice with such characteristics complemented each other even more when used to cook bamboo tube rice.
Before eating, Gabriel thought, "I'll taste the taste of the main dish first and then eat it with the duck. It's like eating bread with sauce."
"I heard that the main dish of China should be eaten this way." Gabriel's imagination was very beautiful.
However, the reality was that he ate up the two bamboo tube rice in one go without stopping to take a breath.
The duck at the side was still a duck, lying there in perfect condition and not moving at all.
"Oh my god, I forgot again." Gabriel looked at the two empty bamboo tubes and revealed a dumbfounded expression.
It was exactly the same as when he accidentally ate up the bamboo tube chicken liver just now and was about to savor it carefully. The taste was comparable to that of foie gras.
That's right. The bamboo tube chicken liver just now tasted almost the same as the top-notch foie gras that he had eaten before. He had originally intended to eat two mouthfuls first and then savor it slowly and carefully. However, he directly ate it up by accident.
At that time, Gabriel also looked at the Diabolo bamboo tube with a dumbfounded expression. As expected, history was always astonishingly similar.
"Hoo. Never mind. I still have another duck." Gabriel turned his gaze to the duck wrapped in bamboo strips.
This time, Gabriel was really eating slowly and earnestly. However, that was obviously making things difficult for a chef who was incomparably passionate about delicacies.
Similarly, the plate of bamboo strips duck was sacrificed in his mouth again in a short while.
"Sigh. The portion is really too small. It's even smaller than the French dishes I cook." Gabriel couldn't help sighing and then started to talk nonsense.
He wasn't talking nonsense. French dishes were famous for their delicacy but small portions. But now, he unexpectedly felt that the portion of the dish cooked by Yuan Zhou was too small.
Gabriel really celebrated Arbor Day every day and didn't have any intention to force the tree.
Relying on the fact that nobody knew he was a chef of French dishes, Gabriel said to Zhou Jia rationally and boldly, "The portion of the dish cooked by your boss is too small. It's not enough for me at all."
"As long as you can eat it, you can order more." Zhou Jia said with great experience.
"You're right. I can order more." On hearing that, Gabriel's eyes immediately lit up and he nodded his head.
When Gabriel opened the menu again, he coincidentally found the dish of French White Wine Mussels. Instantly, his interest was aroused.
"You can even cook this dish? I have to try it. "While thinking of that, Gabriel pointed out three more dishes to Zhou Jia.
One was French White Wine Mussels, one was Swedish Meatball, and one was Danish Roast Pork Neck. He was no stranger to these three dishes and could judge them fairly.
Because he ordered three more dishes, Zhou Jia confirmed twice whether he could eat them up or not. However, Gabriel nodded his head confidently, indicating that he could.
"His appetite is comparable to the stomach of Brother Wu's Wu Beast." Zhou Jia couldn't help murmuring inwardly.
