Xu Jinheng's words, calling him "the father of Lan Kwai Fong", surprised Li Feng. He still wondered whether this "father of Lan Kwai Fong" was the descendant of the British consortium that once ruled Xiangjiang.
"Father of Lan Kwai Fong?" Li Feng looked at each other with a smile and then joked with a smile.
"Mr. John, that's a joke. I'm Allan Zeman, a German Canadian from Xiangjiang, who runs several bars and restaurants in Lan Kwai Fong. I'm a small businessman.", The bald foreigner introduced himself to Li Feng.
"John, don't underestimate Allen. You see, the California building behind is the home of others, and most of the properties of Lan Kwai Fong are owned by others, but Lan Kwai Fong, a famous real estate developer in Xiangjiang, is built by Allen. They are powerful!", Li Zekai also helped introduce him and gave Alan Zeman a thumbs up.
"Oh, really, LAN Guifang, I heard about Xiangjiang's film and television drama a long time ago, but I haven't had a chance. This time, I finally realized my dream.
Mr. Allen can build such a bar, restaurant and leisure place in Xiangjiang, an international capital and prosperous place. He is really not a small businessman. He is a German Canadian from Xiangjiang. I guess Mr. Allen should be Jewish? " After listening to their words, Li Feng also smiled and joked back.
"Wow... How did Mr. John know I was Jewish?"
"Ha ha... There are two smartest ethnic groups and nations in the world. One is Chinese and the other is Jewish. People of these two nationalities can get along wherever they go, can't they?" Li Feng replied with a smile.
……
"Ha ha... That's true. If you don't say that, it's just a joke to call yourself a businessman in front of Mr. John and your CHILDES. Compared with your achievements, I'm making a small fuss. Please!"
Listening to the foreigner's words, although he speaks English, Li Feng can feel that the foreigner's mode of thinking and way of speaking are really a little Chinese and deep in modesty and prudence.
You know, foreigners in Europe and America don't like this. Obviously, the father of Lan Kwai Fong has won the essence of Chinese culture.
After some introduction, under the personal guidance of the host Alan Zeman, the people walked into the California restaurant of the California building together, perhaps catering to the Oriental way of eating. There were also large boxes, and a group of people entered the reserved boxes.
"John, you are a real Californian from Los Angeles. See if Allen's California restaurant is worthy of its name!" Just sitting down, Li Zekai, a very active little Superman, immediately joked to Li Feng.
"Mr. John, am I teaching?" Alan Zeman smiled and said modestly.
"Alan, how did you come up with the name 'California', and this building is called the 'California Building', and the California government didn't collect your patent fee?" Li Feng joked to Alan Zeman with a smile.
"It's a long time to say. In short, in the early 1980s, Western restaurants were mainly opened at that time, and steak and other ingredients were mainly transported from California. Therefore, it was simply and directly named 'California' restaurant.
Later, slowly, many restaurants and bars were opened here. Finally, they bought the building and established their own catering company. Since the restaurant at the beginning was called California restaurant, this building is called California building. "
"Sure enough, he is a shrewd Jewish and born businessman. Obviously, Lan Kwai Fong is completely famous now. You have succeeded!" Li Feng also gave him a thumbs up.
"Similarly, smart Chinese!"
"Ha ha..."
……
The "father of Lan Kwai Fong" left after Li Feng and his party served the main course. I think it's the same. Being able to come out directly to meet him in person is enough to give Li Feng and his party face.
In the evening, we had western food steak, which was taken from Angus beef of California. The beef of California was naturally graded according to the beef of Meidi.
The beef is divided into 8 grades according to the meat quality and maturity. The super grade is naturally the best, accounting for only about 2%, which is mostly provided to top restaurants and hotels.
In terms of maturity, the younger the beef is, the more tender it is, and the better the quality is. It is generally divided into four grades of ABCD, of which 9-30 months are Grade A. the beef on tonight is from the special grade beef just over 12 months old, which can be said to represent the best quality Angus steak of Meidi.
Angus beef is generally refrigerated below 10 degrees for 10-14 days. At this time, the eating taste is the best, mainly for the natural decomposition of protein fiber in beef. Therefore, I don't worry about the quality of steak materials.
For example, I am worried that the quality will not decline because it is not fresh slaughtered, but the taste will be better because of refrigeration. Similarly, it also lays a good foundation for the hot sales of Angus beef all over the world.
According to Alan Zeman, the beef served tonight was specially prepared by Li Zekai after he said hello yesterday. The super grade beef on the tenderloin of Angus beef cattle aged 12 months was selected. The snowflake marble grain was clearly visible, and it was refrigerated for 12 days to ensure the best taste. It is the top steak.
As today's rich class, he grew up in the United States. After a period of edification by Uncle Wang, Li Feng naturally knows more about the beef grading of the United States. Now the beef in Los Angeles is ordered directly from the Hearst family farm, which is definitely the top Angus beef.
……
"Richard, it seems that you have put some thought into it. How about I try it!" Li Feng smiled and said to Li Zekai after seeing Allen, the Jewish businessman, leave.
"Well, you are an authentic Californian. Try whether the California beef you eat here is the same as that you eat at home. It's hard to get these Angus premium beef in Xiangjiang. I still ordered it in advance. The quantity is too small."
"Hehe, next time you have a chance to go to Los Angeles and sit in my house, I'll ask the chef to make it for you. You know, the cold storage in my Los Angeles home has long-term refrigeration and stocks some top-grade special beef, and they are ordered directly from the farm, which is guaranteed to be the best beef." Li Feng smiled back and said, "attack" the steak on the table.
"Really, that's great. We're too far away, and there's no channel to book."
"Ha ha... You can go to Meidi to buy a piece of land, a farm or something, and then you can eat as you like." Li Feng replied jokingly while eating.
"Forget it, if you do, my father must scold me for losing my family."
"Next time I have a chance to introduce an old man to you. The boss of Hearst publishing group now lives in Hearst farm in California all year round, just a few hours' drive from Los Angeles.
My beef is all from Hearst farm. I'll help him with a business. You can talk to the old man and order it directly from their farm. "
"Hurst? The Hearst family in America? "
"Oh, you know?"
"Please, the famous Hearst family, how can I not know? Besides, I have studied in the United States for several years, and I have always heard of the crazy gene of the Hearst family." Li Zekai replied with a blank eye.
……
"Ha ha... Richard, let me introduce you to Aunt Hurst who robbed. You see, you two are not married. Why don't you get together and I'll pull a line for you?" After listening to his words, Li Feng immediately joked.
"Don't... I can't stand the crazy genes of the Hearst family."
"Ha ha..."
