These celebrities in Los Angeles were very puzzled. They couldn't understand why Jia Hongjian and the others would go to New York, a place they were unfamiliar with, to open a store? Los Angeles is obviously their base! That's right, after a series of exchanges that year and a month of partying every day, everyone had accepted Jia Hongjian and Ye Jing as local celebrities in Los Angeles. He said that as a local celebrity in Los Angeles, few people would go to New York on the east coast to open any store, and Jia Hongjian and the others did not have much business in New York, so everyone was puzzled! Of course, another aspect also proves their love for the Chinese food cooked by Lao Zhang and the others!
As for Lao Zhang, after some understanding, they also learned about the origin of these Western-style meals - generally talking about three-course meals, four-course meals, etc., that is a routine in Western food. , for a three-course meal, it would be an appetizer, a main course, and then dessert. How did such a few dishes come about? Or it comes from the French court! At that time, the king of the French court had nothing to do all day long, just thinking about how to eat, so in the end, the French court served a super feast of thirteen courses! In fact, if you think about it, you will know that when we Chinese go to restaurants, one dish is enough for one person, and four dishes and one soup for four people, so that everyone is full. The King of France doesn't eat food together like the Chinese do. They just eat their own plate alone. This person has a total of thirteen dishes. How can he die if he doesn't eat it?
So just thinking about it, you know that the result of eating so much will definitely be less than a few bites per plate! No matter how much you make in one plate, you may end up eating just a few bites. So from this point of view, it can be understood why each plate of Western food now has enough food for a few bites, and is also decorated in a fancy way - these are all bad habits passed down from the French court. Just show off! Modern people certainly don¡¯t have the time or money to eat such a 13-course meal, just like the rich people in China, no matter how pretentious they are, can¡¯t have a Manchu-Han banquet! So modern Western food is basically reduced to a reduced scale of three to five dishes.
In the earliest days, there were regulations for each of the thirteen dishes, and the first course was a cold appetizer. The second course is soup, the third course is hot appetizer, the fourth course is fish, the fifth course is main course, the sixth course is hot plate, the seventh course is cold plate, and the eighth course is sorbet. , which is something that includes fruit cream and ice - ice cream. The ninth dish is barbecue or salad. The tenth course is vegetables, the eleventh course is dessert, the twelfth course is savory, and the thirteenth course is dessert again. This meal is considered complete! Nowadays, it has been simplified. The three courses are cold/hot appetizer, then the main course, and finally the dessert. And the five courses. Just cold appetizers and soup. Hot appetizers, main courses, and desserts only!
When it comes to eating, Americans still learn the rules from France. In other words, Europe and the United States have basically been radiated by France. Under such a situation, Lao Zhang decided to arrange the order of serving dishes as much as possible according to American habits. For example, people are accustomed to having appetizers as the first course. Then can we get them some appetizers like Sichuan pickles? Can we get some cold dishes like saliva duck to appetize? There are so many cold dishes in China! Aren¡¯t there cold dishes before the official dishes are served at formal dinners in restaurants? Let's serve some cold cuts. Isn't this an appetizer? Then if there are five courses, we will make them soup or something. For three courses, we will not serve them soup and just make the main course. This main dish can be made similar to a rice bowl. Mix it into vegetables and rice. With a little attention to taste, we can keep Americans full, right? Let¡¯s get some desserts after the meal later, and the desserts after the meal Hahaha, is our Chinese cuisine short of desserts?
French desserts after meals don¡¯t just mean ice cream, cakes and the like are all desserts! Our Chinese Shachimana is also a dessert! Yes, although Shaqima sounds like a transliteration and sounds like it was introduced from abroad, it is actually a dessert produced in China. As for the name, it sounds like a transliteration because this thing is Manchu specialty pastries! It was one of the sacrifices during the Sanling Sacrifice in the Qing Dynasty! In Manchu, this Shaqima means "dog** dipped in sugar"! So, is this a Chinese dessert? Even the sesame balls for breakfast, is this a dessert? Then in China we also have sweet tofu curd. Is this a dessert? Even the flower buns that are special to the Loess Plateau and western Shanxi are also desserts!
What is flower steamed bun? In short, it is the fancy steamed buns made by women from various families to show their skill during festive occasions such as New Year's Eve, old people's birthdays, children's full moon, etc.! This steamed bun is called steamed bun in the Loess Plateau and western Shanxi, so this fancy steamed bun is called flower steamed bun! What's the flower bun like? As long as your imagination is enough, you can make anything! Can be made into a cute and chubby fat girlA tiger can be made into a bunny, a chicken or a duck, a dragon or a fish! And just making the shape like this is still elementary. For more advanced ones, you can make it look like it has words or pictures depending on the different embellished grains! For example, when an old man celebrates his birthday, the flower buns he makes look like longevity peaches, with the word "longevity" written on them! Then, if you want to make some kind of pattern, you can make the flowers and branches made out of the dough on the back of the goldfish! Then you can also ask for color! In the old days, they might have used some red paper to dye it, which of course is not good for health. Nowadays, when we are making high-end desserts, we can use various "pure natural dyes"!
That¡¯s right, using food coloring is too low-end. If you want to use it, use pure natural ones! The gimmick of this thing came out instantly! For example, for red, would it be okay to dye the rose petals into rose jam? Add rose petals to sugar, and after crushing, this is rose jam! This dyeing is applied to the steamed buns, and it still tastes sweet! If you want to make it yellow, you can use white flour with cornmeal added. The whole steamed bun will turn yellow. If you want to make a dragon like that, you only need to use scissors to make scales on the dragon's body, and it will look like a golden dragon! How awesome and artistic is this? Don't this thing make all the rich people in the United States crazy? When had they ever had such a lovely dessert? When have you ever seen such artistic desserts?
It can be said that at this time, for Lao Zhang and the others, everything is almost ready and all they need is the east wind! On the other side, Jia Hongjian was mingling with the waiters in New York! That's right, who is Jia Hongjian? He's Chinese! We Chinese want to mingle with others. If we really want to do what we want, who can¡¯t? Isn't it just that when you see people talking about people, you see ghosts talking about ghosts, and you just go with them? Then add carrots and sticks, make rewards and punishments clear, and then add officers and soldiers who are close to the people, and that will be perfect! In ancient times, wasn't it true that some military commanders saw abscesses on soldiers' feet and sucked the pus from them? Then the soldiers were so moved that they decided to sacrifice their lives for the commander? What kind of examples do we have in our 5,000-year history? Just grab a bunch of examples!
So when Jia Hongjian led his employees in training, he also used various methods to win over people's hearts! For example, he eats the same food, wears the same clothes, and even sleeps in the same building as everyone else all day long - of course, he sleeps on a different floor than everyone else. But even so, he shocked everyone all of a sudden! American bosses, like Chinese bosses, rarely take the initiative to share joys and sorrows with their employees and receive the same treatment! But Jia Hongjian did it, which immediately made the employees feel that Jia Hongjian was different, and immediately made everyone feel that Jia Hongjian was worthy of their admiration! Yes, in their own opinion, they have worked hard to train and eat simple sandwiches for lunch, which is what they should have in daily life. But if a rich man like Jia Hongjian can share the joys and sorrows with everyone, it is definitely a reflection of his level! It is definitely a reflection of great spirit!
Maggie feels like this. In her opinion, Jia Hongjian is too cruel. For such an awesome rich man, he can be so cruel to himself! Could this not awe her? Must be in awe. But something she encountered today made her change her view of Jia Hongjian. What's going on? To put it simply, when Maggie came to work for training today, her car broke down halfway through. Yes, the car broke down. Her car broke down on a highway in the middle of nowhere. Originally, she should have called Jia Hongjian to ask for leave at this time, but who knew that the phone was dead! At this time, she could only find a way to take a ride to New York City, and then take the subway to the training venue. By this time, she was already half an hour late!
Before arriving at this training location, she thought she was going to die today! Why? Because someone like Jia Hongjian was so cruel to himself before, wouldn't he be even more cruel to others? She was half an hour late, and then she didn't make a single call. This is not a rhythm where she will be scolded and her money will be deducted! I've only been working for a few days, and I'm actually late in front of my boss. Isn't this asking for scolding? Just when she entered nervously, she saw that Jia Hongjian and a group of colleagues were not training at all and were waiting for her to come. She suddenly said to herself-fuck, we are in big trouble! That's right, we invited a teacher to come over and give you training. This teacher actually didn't give a lecture, but just waited quietly with everyone. What else could he be waiting for? He must be waiting for her, and he must be dealing with her now!
At this moment, Jia Hongjian looked at her and said, "Give me a reason." He asked with no emotion or anger on his face. "Mr. Jia, I'm sorry, my car broke down and my phone ran out of battery I should have charged my phone when I went to bed last night, but I forgot I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to" She hurriedly Apologizing, she apologized while anxiously waiting for the punishment to come (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
