C2061 Dragon and Phoenix Appearance

Under Xiao Letian's extremely strict gaze, the anger caused by Zai Chun was forcibly suppressed. Of course, Zai Chun and the rest could feel the hatred, but it had already been formed.

Zai Chun simply ignored the others, and chatted with his master and the Duke instead, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the English industry along the coastline.

Very soon, it was time for lunch, the Duke of Newcastle had long heard that the diplomatic mission to the east had brought along a huge chef team, and all of them were great Gods like the God of Cooking from the east. From the reports from the other British captain s in the united fleet, the Kitchen had already become the private kitchen for all the British captain s.

Three meals a day, basically two meals to rub off on Chinese food, and the rest of the breakfast is spent in half-starvation, because they still have to make room for the other two meals.

When the news spread to London, Benjamin and the other famous figures felt their faces burning.

However, the telegraph of reprimand was of no use at all. The admirals would still be eating when the time came, completely ignoring the orders of London. This clearly showed just how attractive Chinese food was.

He knew that if he wanted to promote the culture of the East in Europe, merely relying on pictures and words was far from enough. You had to give the Europeans a deep impression, a breakthrough that they had no choice but to submit to.

Gluttony is the fundamental human desire, do a Chinese Food Festival this is not a good place to knock on the door? To raise European people's view of the ancient east through eating, how could an ancient country that could produce such delicious food possibly be linked to savagery?

In a civilized country, even the delicacies are civilized!

More importantly, through the promotion of delicious food, Xiao Letian could completely stir up the mysterious Oriental spice, which was the secret recipe of the Xiao Family, the fresh source!

It was precisely because of this that Xiao Letian opened the dining hall of the Zhiyuan Warship, and provided endless amounts of delicious food. The famous chefs and imperial cooks in the east had completely raised the appetite of these British officer s.

The Duke of Newcastle was curious as to why London required the officers of the United Fleet to control themselves and not to eat the Chinese every day. Why would these officers not listen?

Could Chinese food really have this kind of charm or magic? These gentlemen officers had no time to care about their reputation. Did he have to go get food every day? Aren't you ashamed of yourself!

It was because of this question that Duke of Newcastle was filled with curiosity about today's luncheon.

"Your Grace, it is already noon. We have prepared some food, can we talk while we eat …" Xiao Letian extended his hand out to lead the way.

Duke Ryan had long since faintly caught a whiff of the faintly discernible aroma from the cabin. He had to admit that many of the Chinese style cooking techniques could force out more of the flavor of the ingredients, which was much more exciting than European cuisine from a sense of smell.

Duke of Newcastle subconsciously twitched his nose a few times. The smell of spring onion was something he had never tasted before in his life.

"Oh, dear Führer! Could this fragrance be the unique flavor of the Eastern cuisine? "I am really filled with anticipation …"

"This way please …" Xiao Letian led the way ahead. He was secretly laughing in his heart, if the famous dishes I ordered still cannot conquer the stomach of the Europeans, then it would be a waste for me, the transcender, to come here.

The long, neatly arranged table was covered with an exquisite jacquard cloth. A shiny gold and silver tray was placed on the table, and beautiful flowers were mixed in the middle.

The servant was dressed in a festive red satin vest, with a trained smile on his face, he pulled up a chair for the guests. When Duke of Newcastle had just sat down, a melodious violin sound suddenly came from behind a red wooden screen in the corner.

"Thank you for providing us with ingredients, flowers, and musicians. Let us drink until we can!" Xiao Letian raised his wine cup first.

"Cheers!" The two parties chatted merrily as if nothing had happened.

First served are 12 cold dishes, appetizers, there are secret cucumber, royal meal pea yellow, shadow beef... Among them, Long Fengxiang was the best in the cold dishes.

Chinese cuisine had always paid particular attention to both the color and the fragrance, especially the appearance. This Long Fengxiang in particular was also one of the imperial cooks' personal skills, something that no one had ever seen before.

Two attendants were carrying a one meter wide Jingde Town disk. There was a dragon and a phoenix spiraling on it, looking very lifelike. They directly sat on top of the plate with their plates on a plate as if they were alive.

"My God! Is this food? Isn't this a sculpture? You want us to eat sculptures? " The Duke was the first to cry out in alarm.

Xiao Letian laughed out loud, "Let our chef explain to the Duke, of course this is a sculpture, it's a sculpture that can be eaten …" With that, Xiao Letian signalled to the servant. The servant beside the Duke used a chopstick to pick up a piece of the Phoenix's feather and placed it on the Duke's plate.

Before Duke of Newcastle even had the chance to taste it, Liu Dadao had already carefully walked in from the outside. When he saw the big figures that filled the room, he immediately knelt down.

"Greetings to His Majesty! Greetings to the Prime Minister! Greetings to Master Yang! "Greetings to all my lords …" Liu Dadao, who was dragging his long voice, kowtowed loudly.

"Let's rise. Liu Dadao, introduce this dish to the Duke …" Xiao Letian said indifferently.

"Ah!" Liu Dadao took the opportunity to beat them up a thousand times, then stood up and said, "Honored guests, this dish is called Long Fengxiang, and is just about cutting techniques and seasoning …"

"Look, the dragon head and phoenix head are both carved from carrots. Then, the red vegetable head along with the carrot is carved into the spine and claws …"

"The Red Bake Duck is cooked. The knife on the duck meat is shaped like feathers. Then, this servant will personally carve out the pattern of feathers. This is the phoenix's long feather …"

"Fried meat, grilled until it was white and red. These are the scales of the red dragon. They coiled around the dragon's body, forming the main body of the red dragon …"

"Do you see those auspicious clouds below? This is the effect of the secret soy sauce and egg white drawn out with warm oil. The neat arrangement gives the dragon and phoenix the feeling of flying! "

The translator translated Liu Dadao's introduction to Duke of Newcastle, and the more he said, the more the Duke's mouth opened wide, until he finally blurted out, "God, how much effort is needed for this dish? This can only be done after a whole day of hard work! "

"More than, more than that!" Liu Dadao puffed his chest out as he said proudly, "Three days, from the preparation of the ingredients to the dining table, we have been busy for a full three days!"

"Three days? My God, do you eat better than the French? " The Englishmen present could not believe their own ears.
