Chapter 1436: A food intake comparable to Wu Hai
Zhou Jia, who was at the side, seemed to have seen through Gabriel’s thoughts. She suddenly walked over and said in a low but firm voice,””Hello, Sir. The containers in our shop can not be taken away or consumed.”
“Alright, I know that.” Gabriel nodded without blushing, then turned to the bamboo rice at the side.
Reluctantly, Gabriel picked up the last piece of bamboo in the bamboo tube, which was soaked in a light sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.
As for chicken? Of course, it had already entered his stomach. There was only one piece of bamboo left in the bamboo tube.
The bamboo shoot chosen by Yuan Zhou was naturally the winter bamboo shoot of green bamboo. The taste of winter bamboo shoot was completely different from spring bamboo shoot. Winter bamboo shoot had a cold and crunchy feeling, and the texture was even crisper. It also had a kind of heavy yet refreshing taste, and the taste was richer.
The spring bamboo shoots, on the other hand, were simply delicious. One bite was like biting into the spring.
Of course, as a poor Frenchman who had never eaten spring bamboo shoots before, Gabriel naturally did not know the difference between the two. However, this did not affect his taste in judgment.
The winter bamboo shoots were soaked in chicken soup, and the outer layer was mixed with the fragrance of soy sauce. When he chewed, they were crisp and tender. The texture was a little strange to him, but it was delicious.
“As expected of a three-star. It’s worth it.” Gabriel looked at the soup in the bamboo tube and resisted the urge to drink it.
However, after sighing, he couldn’t help but look at the soup at the bottom of the bamboo tube and kept telling himself: “I’m a three star Michelin chef. I can’t be rude. ”
These words repeated in Gabriel’s mind a dozen times before he finally looked away and started to eat other dishes.
Although Gabriel’s status as a three-star head chef stopped him from making a move, he was actually stopping the other two dishes on the table that had not been touched.
There were two small pieces of bamboo on the plate. The two pieces of bamboo were only four centimeters thick, and they were nothing compared to the bamboo of the bamboo chicken. However, curious, Gabriel opened the small bamboo first, instead of the duck wrapped in bamboo.
This time, Gabriel didn’t need Zhou Jia’s help to open the bamboo tube. Instead, he looked at the plate carefully and found that there were still tools for opening the bamboo tube on it.
It was also a small green bamboo stick. He slid the small bamboo stick across the dark but smooth outer wall, and he found the mechanism that could be opened.
With a “ka da,” he inserted the bamboo stick into the bamboo stick, then gently pried it open. The bamboo was naturally separated into two pieces and placed on the plate.
The rice grains wrapped in bamboo film were exposed. The rice grains were very tightly stuck in the shape of a bamboo tube, emitting hot air and fragrance.
The fragrant smell of rice and bamboo, which was completely different from before, rushed into Gabriel’s nose.
“The bamboo’s taste is different from the previous one. This one is sweeter, while the previous one is more fragrant.” Gabriel sniffed it carefully, then savored the smell.
“I wonder how this kind of staple food will taste.” Curious, Gabriel reached out with his chopsticks and prepared to eat.
As an authentic Frenchman, his main course was French bread. He rarely ate rice.
Or rather, he had never tried it in Chengdu and had only tried it overseas. He only felt that the taste was different and it was not bad. It could reach the standard of novelty, not the standard of staying for three weeks.
However, the delicious bamboo chicken just now had given Gabriel enough confidence. He picked up a bamboo-shaped rice without hesitation and stuffed it into his mouth along with the bamboo film.
The bamboo film was like the glutinous rice paper wrapped around milk candy that he ate when he was young. It melted as soon as it entered his mouth, revealing the rice inside with a faint bamboo fragrance.
The bamboo rice cooked by Yuan Zhou was slightly different from the others. He used the Babao rice, which was famous in Dian province.
This rice was fragrant and sweet, sticky but not greasy, snow-white in color, and as white as Jade. It was larger than ordinary rice grains and slightly longer to cook. The rice grains were soft and sticky, fragrant and delicious, and rich in oil. It was sweet and moist, and the oil was soft and delicate. But even if it was cold, it would not return.
Not only did they contribute a hundred tons of tribute rice every year, but they were also known as blue-blooded aristocrats. Their protein content was higher than ordinary rice, and they were rich in nutrition.
Rice with such characteristics would bring out the best in bamboo rice.
Before he ate, Gabriel thought,””I’ll try the taste of the main course first and then eat it with the duck. It’s like bread with sauce.”
“I heard that the staple food in China should be eaten this way.” Gabriel’s thoughts were wonderful.
However, the reality was that he had finished two bamboo rice in one go and did not stop to take a break at all.
The duck was still a duck, lying there without moving.
“Oh my God, I forgot again.” Gabriel looked at the two empty bamboo tubes with a dumbfounded expression.
It was exactly the same as the chicken liver of the bamboo chicken that he had just accidentally eaten and was about to taste carefully. The taste was comparable to that of foie gras.
That’s right, the chicken liver of the bamboo chicken was almost the same as the top-grade foie gras that he had eaten before. He had planned to take a few bites first and then slowly and carefully savor it, but he had accidentally finished it.
At that time, Gabriel also looked at the empty bamboo tube with the same dumbfounded expression. History was always shockingly similar.
“Phew, don’t worry, I still have a duck.” Gabriel turned to look at the duck in the bamboo basket.
This time, Gabriel was seriously slowing down his eating speed. However, he was obviously trying to make things difficult for a chef who was extremely passionate about food.
Similarly, the duck was sacrificed in his mouth again.
“Ah, the portion is really too little. It’s even less than the French food I make.” Gabriel couldn’t help but sigh. He opened his eyes and began to speak nonsense.
He wasn’t spouting nonsense. French cuisine was famous for its exquisiteness and small quantity. But now, he actually felt that the portion of Yuan Zhou’s dishes was too small.
Gabriel really celebrated the tree planting festival every day, and he didn’t feel pressured at all.
Since no one knew that he was a French chef, Gabriel said to Zhou Jia confidently,””Your boss’s dishes are too small. It’s not enough at all.”
“As long as you can eat, you can order more.” Zhou Jia responded with experience.
“You’re right, I can order more. ” Hearing this suggestion, Gabriel’s eyes immediately brightened.
Gabriel, who opened the menu again, happened to see the dish “French white wine, mussels” and was instantly interested.
“You actually know how to cook this dish? I have to try it. ” With that thought in mind, Gabriel pointed out three dishes to Zhou Jia again.
A French white wine, mussels, Sweden meatball, and a Denmark roasted 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 finish them. Gabriel nodded his head confidently, indicating that he could finish them.
“This appetite is comparable to big brother Wu’s Black beast stomach.” Zhou Jia couldn’t help muttering in her heart.
