Chapter 955: Complicated and niche is the so-called aristocratic etiquette
"Dad, what do you think Brother Heath will cook for us?" Xiaoyao sat on her chair nervously. In front of her was a bowl of mung bean soup, which Heath had just scooped for her and Qianli. It felt cool and comfortable to the touch. After taking a sip, Xiaoyao couldn't help squinting her eyes. The mung bean soup in front of her tasted really good, and there was nothing wrong with it. Although it was not very sweet, after drinking it, the scorching heat that she had just experienced outside seemed to have left her body all of a sudden. Xiaoyao couldn't help but take another sip, holding the mung bean soup in front of her with satisfaction. Now she was looking forward to what she could eat later.
"I don't know. Mr. Heath didn't say what he was going to do today. He just asked us to wait." Qianli glanced at his daughter. Although his daughter was still young, he somehow felt like an old father who was jealous. His daughter was too fond of Heath, wasn't she? Even to the point of being a little abnormal. However, Qianli also knew that his daughter definitely didn't have that kind of feeling towards Heath. After all, Xiaoyao was still young. However, this feeling of idol worship also made Qianli feel uncomfortable. He curled his lips. Why did he feel that his little cotton-padded jacket was about to become someone else's?
Xiaoyao nodded. Brother Heath did not say what he was going to do, but looking at Heath who was busy in the kitchen, Xiaoyao's eyes were filled with curiosity.
When did it start? Xiaoyao herself couldn't remember, but she remembered that every time her father Qianli came home, her mother would cook a big table of delicious food, and then the family would eat happily on it. She was very happy, and her parents were also very happy. The connection between them seemed to be the hot meal. This made Xiaoyao fall into thought. Could it be that delicious food is the secret to maintaining the family relationship?
After getting to know Heath as such a magical chef, learning about Heath's stories, and seeing Heath become the champion's boyfriend, all of these brought a great shock to the young Xiaoyao. It can be said that at this moment Xiaoyao is becoming more and more interested in cooking. Now watching Heath cooking attentively, Xiaoyao seems to have discovered some fun in cooking.
Heath's dining car is designed with a semi-open kitchen, so guests can easily see Heath who is busy and the kitchen environment. This helps guests eat with peace of mind. After all, food safety and hygiene issues have always been very important, and Heath himself attaches great importance to this. Being able to see the kitchen naturally means being able to see his own neat and beautiful kitchen. It can be said that Heath's kitchen is very clean, so clean that people can't find any problems with it. This is also a way to increase guests' happiness during meals.
After all, food is obviously more attractive and more reassuring to eat than food served from a dirty kitchen, instead of making people feel uncomfortable. Heath once went out to eat in his previous life, and ordered noodles. When the waiter brought the noodles, his finger accidentally got soaked in the soup. Although he quickly noticed this, Heath was not in the mood to eat the bowl of noodles. He also saw that the other person's nails were black. Heath did not lose his temper, which showed that he had a good personality.
Although in the previous life, when people saw the street vendors in India, they would say that they were clean and hygienic, but in fact no one likes to eat in a dirty environment. That would be a huge test for their stomachs. Heath himself paid great attention to hygiene issues.
"Here, this is the starter, vegetable salad with three-no-stick." Heath brought the dish over with a smile, and placed it in front of Xiaoyao and Qianli. This time Heath made a big dish, the so-called banquet dish, which is not made casually. Banquet dishes are usually made by chefs only on weddings or important occasions. Of course, according to the previous tradition, dishes are served one by one, but with the development of the times, important occasions such as weddings have become prepared in advance and served together. After all, it is troublesome to serve one by one, but some private restaurants still retain this habit.
Many people say that foreign cuisine is elegant, high-end and classy, but in fact Chinese cuisine is truly classy. After all, it has been passed down for thousands of years. However, most of the time, people are exposed to home-cooked dishes, so naturally there are not so many details. But what about the royal banquet? You should know that in ancient China, there was a special Ministry of Rites to be responsible for various etiquette matters, from the enthronement ceremony to the emperor's meal. How to serve the dishes, how many dishes to serve, the order, etc., all have particularities.
It's just that after the founding of New China, these bad customs were abandoned, so everyone became casual again.
"Three No-Zhan? What is this?" Xiaoyao knew about vegetable salad, but she really didn't know what Three No-Zhan was. After all, there was no such food in this world, and although Heath had made it, he rarely used it to entertain guests. The taste of Three No-Zhan was only average. Its main selling point lies in the complicated production process and its reputation. Moreover, it takes a lot of effort to make. Even though Heath now has amazing arm strength, he is not very willing to make Three No-Zhan.
"You'll know if you try it. Don't be fooled by its sticky appearance. In fact, it doesn't stick to pots, plates or chopsticks ." Heath smiled. At this moment, he remembered a bartender he once knew. The bartender hated it when customers ordered whiskey with water. That thing was actually whiskey mixed with water, but there were two ways to make it. One was very cheap and you could just mix it with water, while the other was very expensive and required ice cubes. The bartender then stirred it quickly and continuously, and the ice melted to form a layer of ice flowers on the surface of the cup. It looked very nice, but was expensive.
According to the bartender friend, the second way to water-cut whiskey is to ask for a higher price. After all, the bartender has put in hard physical labor, so it is normal to ask for a higher price, which is reasonable and convincing.
In fact, Heath thought that San Bu Zhan was similar. If you asked him how delicious it was, that was not the case. However, the price would definitely be higher, otherwise Heath would feel sorry for his physical labor. He had already discussed the price issue with Qianli yesterday, and he would definitely not lose money. Although Heath would suffer some losses by closing the store today, Heath was planning to take a holiday anyway, so it didn't matter.
Seeing Xiaoyao eagerly picking up the chopsticks, Heath smiled and went back to the kitchen to start preparing the next dish.
