"Chairman Zhou, do you know the head chef here and you are very familiar with him?" Yuan Zhou observed the surroundings and asked abruptly.
"Oh? You know that? "Zhou Shijie didn't conceal anything and asked curiously.
"It takes at least one month to make a reservation in a three-star Michelin restaurant. Even if I know him, I won't be able to eat it so quickly." Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and thought of the rules before saying that.
"What if I made the reservation one month ago?" Zhou Shijie said smilingly.
"Then you will definitely tell me." Yuan Zhou said confidently.
"Haw-haw. That's right. You'll know who the head chef is after eating it." Zhou Shijie winked at Yuan Zhou and said mysteriously.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't ask anymore.
Meanwhile, the dishes in the kitchen began to be carried out one after another.
"Andre, come here." At that time, Chu Xiao had also put on the face mask. His voice was a little muffled, but Andre still ran over as soon as he heard it.
"Okay. Do I need to scoop it up?" Andre asked self-consciously.
"There's still one minute left. Watch carefully and then scoop it up with this." Chu Xiao took a pair of chopsticks and directly handed them to Andre.
"No problem." Andre answered with full confidence.
It was a beautiful ivory color with light pink. The color was beautiful and plump, emitting a beautiful luster in the cool water.
"Head chef, the goose liver from the southwest is really not bad. It even has a little fragrance." Andre scooped up the goose liver and put it down. He couldn't help saying that.
"This is the goose liver from Strasbourg." Chu Xiao said lightly.
"I think the one from the southwest is the best." Andre didn't dare to contradict him, but he still muttered in a low voice.
Actually, it was no wonder that Andre said so. After all, the origin of goose liver was actually not in France, but in ancient Egypt.
Then it came to Rome and then France. During the reign of Louis XVI of France, goose liver was offered to Louis XV as a tribute. After that, it was deeply loved by the king and became famous ever since. It was also praised by many well-known writers, musicians and artists at that time.
That was how it established its extraordinary status as a noble delicacy.
The two best places for foie gras were in southwestern France and Strasbourg. Many people participated in the battle for the status of these two places, but it was almost a tie.
"The red wine fed by Stras is more in line with my taste," Chu Xiao said to Andre.
"Understood." Andre nodded.
Then, Chu Xiao finished the preparation of the goose liver alone. Of course, the side dishes were still prepared by Andre. This was Chu Xiao's division of labor.
"Dadada Ta." Along with the sound of light footsteps, the brown-haired waitress came over with the main dish of the day.
However, this main dish was a little special. Generally speaking, the dishes in French cuisine were all exquisite and small in quantity. Some of them even only had one bite.
Usually, there was only one tray, but this time, it was different. Including the brunette, there were a total of four beauties, and they were all holding trays.
"Please allow me to change the cutlery for you two." This time, the waitress was another person who specialized in changing cutlery.
"Okay," Zhou Shijie said.
Naturally, Yuan Zhou nodded his head haughtily, indicating his approval.
"The main dish of the head chef today is a little special. It's the goose liver. Please have a look." The brown-haired beauty uncovered the cover.
Almost immediately, there came the sound of "Zi Zi" of frying from inside. However, the fragrance of the goose liver came faster than the sound.
A kind of grease-like taste mixed with a little sourness and sweetness filled the nose of the two people along with the beautiful color of the goose liver that was fried.
"Humm. It's really the top-notch goose liver. The mellow fragrance is so wonderful." Zhou Shijie uttered first.
"It's really good, but the apple isn't so good." Yuan Zhou directly said that the sour and sweet taste was the apple.
Even though there wasn't even a shadow of an apple in the entire plate.
"Let's taste it first." Zhou Shijie didn't say much, but just signaled Yuan Zhou to eat first.
"The design of the plate is very interesting." Yuan Zhou noticed the plate, not because of how beautiful it was.
After all, the one provided by the system looked better. It was just that there was a thermometer on the plate, which showed the current temperature of the goose liver.
"It's exactly 35.5 degrees, the temperature of human body. At this temperature, the fat in the goose liver can just melt." Yuan Zhou had done a lot of homework before he came here.
Therefore, he was quite familiar with the famous French dish, Goose Liver.
"As expected. The temperature control is excellent." Zhou Shijie looked at the plate and found the temperature was indeed shown on the plate.
If the dish was served after being cooked, it naturally wouldn't be at the perfect temperature like now. However, it could be seen that the dish was really prepared and served on the way.
It was just right for the dish to be eaten. It was very difficult to make such precise calculation, therefore, Zhou Shijie marveled at it.
"It's really awesome." Yuan Zhou also nodded his head affirmatively.
After that, Yuan Zhou also started to eat.
At that time, the western food etiquette he had learned for several days came in handy.
In the past, Yuan Zhou also picked up the knife and fork according to his own habits. Naturally, there wouldn't be any elegant sense of beauty.
But now, it was different. Yuan Zhou raised the knife gently and pressed it on the tender goose liver.
Almost effortlessly, the knife sank into the goose liver. Yuan Zhou immediately cut a small piece off and stuffed it into his mouth.
Instantly, the mellow fragrance of the goose liver, like the fragrance of fresh chestnuts mixed with the intoxicating taste of red wine, gushed into his mouth.
He couldn't wait to start the dance in his mouth. Then, because the temperature in the mouth was close to the body temperature, it wasn't abrupt at all. On the contrary, because of that, the goose liver melted in his mouth almost without chewing.
Although it was just a small piece that Yuan Zhou ate, the fragrance and the smooth texture kept fermenting in his mouth and continued to bring out the fragrance in his mouth.
The dense texture mixed with the top-notch fragrance made Yuan Zhou feel a little irresistible.
"No wonder it's Goose Liver." Yuan Zhou revealed a smile on his face.
"Of course, it has to be attributed to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of this head chef." Zhou Shijie also nodded his head and echoed.
"Indeed. It's really a good idea to mix the juice of the apple into the butter to make the apple butter and use it to fry the goose liver." Yuan Zhou only took a bite and then said that.
"So it's added to the butter from the very beginning. Originally, only a small amount of butter is used. I didn't expect it to be like that." Zhou Shijie patted his own head. Thinking of that, it was really as Yuan Zhou said.
"Besides, he only grilled the iron plate instead of frying the goose liver directly. Only in that way could the temperature be just 35.5 degrees when it was served." Yuan Zhou straightforwardly brought out the reason why four people were needed to serve two servings of goose liver.
The other two people were naturally there to take away the iron plate without anyone noticing.
"Is that so, Head Chef Chu Xiao?" After saying that, Yuan Zhou turned his head and said as if he had sensed something.
