Chapter 180: State Banquet
The day after the video chat with Gu Bai, Jun Morin returned to Imperial University.
It's a pity that the two of them still couldn't see the above, because when Jun Morin came back, Gu Bai had already gone to the Chef's Association to continue participating in the discussion of the state banquet and the making of the menu.
It wasn't until night when Gu Bai returned to the dormitory, only to find out from his roommate that Jun Morin had returned. He immediately went to the teacher's dormitory without caring about his exhaustion.
"I'm not coming back tonight, you guys help me deal with the bedchat teacher." Gu Bai hurriedly dropped these words and left the dormitory quickly, so fast that his roommates didn't have time to say a word.
"I just came back, what's the matter?" Du Xiaoxing couldn't help but wonder when he saw that Gu Bai had completely disappeared.
Wen Yan didn't answer, but a thought flashed in his eyes.
Gu Bai came to the teacher's dormitory as quickly as possible, and saw that Jun Morin's dormitory was still brightly lit.
He walked in familiarly, and couldn't help complaining with a little surprise: "Why didn't you tell me when you came back?"
"I wanted to give you a surprise, who knew you were so busy." When Jun Molin saw Gu Bai, he couldn't help showing a gentle smile on his face.
Since being with Gu Bai, the expressions on Jun Morin's face have become more and more numerous.
However, only Gu Bai was fortunate enough to see these.
"It's not for you that I'm so busy." Gu Baijiao said angrily.
Jun Molin opened his arms, and Gu Bai threw himself into it without any hesitation. Although he was separated by clothes, it felt good to hug.
Jun Morin: "For me?"
"Hmm, isn't the foreign visit to China about to start? The Chefs Association has been preparing for the state banquet recently. I'm Grandpa Zhou's assistant." Gu Bai said directly.
Although the state banquet needs to be kept secret, as the prince of the empire, Lord Grim is the person with the most power except the emperor. He naturally knows about the state banquet.
Gu Bai also knew this, so he didn't hide it from him.
"So powerful?" Jun Molin was a little surprised, but he felt it was reasonable. After all, he had personally experienced Gu Bai's cooking skills.
"Of course." Gu Bai proudly raised his chest, showing a proud expression.
If someone else made this expression, I'm afraid they would be regarded as arrogant, but when Gu Bai made it, he looked naive and cute.
Of course, it may also be that Lord Grim's lover sees Xi Shi in his eyes.
The two are busy with their own affairs now, and there are not many opportunities to meet each other, so they didn't talk about the state banquet for long, and they soon became sticky and tired of being together.
The next day, Gu Bai went out very early again. Although he really wanted to hang out with Lord Grim for a while, the reality didn't allow it.
Jun Molin hurriedly finished things in a hurry, just to free up these few days of vacation to accompany Gu Bai, but Gu Bai is now busier than him, he can't see people at all during the day, and he can meet occasionally at night. It's almost the same as when I was dealing with things before.
Therefore, Jun Morin took the initiative to end the holiday again and returned to the palace and the military to continue to deal with the matter of his visit to China.
Both of them are busy with the same goal, which is a special sweetness in a way.
Gu Bai can see Shen Liangxu almost every time he goes to the Chef Association, and his emotions have gone from being unable to cover up his hatred at first to now being able to face each other normally.
However, his dissatisfaction with the Shen family was frantically brewing in his heart. The plan to deal with the Shen family had begun to be drawn up. After the state banquet was over, he didn't want to see Shen Liangxu's face again at all.
Best, let him never have the chance to appear in front of him again!
Shen Liangxu's situation is similar to Gu Bai, especially seeing that Gu Bai is loved by the president and elders of the Chef Association, he is even more jealous.
Sometimes when drafting the menu, he would ask Gu Bai's opinion, and even adopted Gu Bai's opinion, and even handed over the five dishes on the state banquet menu to Gu Bai directly.
You must know that the chefs who cook at each state banquet are at least four-star or above, and there has never been an exception. Gu Bai is He Dehe who can cook with a master-level person, and even set a precedent for him.
What an opportunity and honor this is for a chef.
Shen Liangxu was going crazy with jealousy towards Gu Bai.
He is obviously better than that scumbag, has been exposed to cooking for a longer time, and has a higher level of chef. How could such a good opportunity fall on Gu Bai's body? Even if you want to let the assistant cook by himself, you should choose him.
Shen Liangxu had reacted with Elder Bai in private, and he had also tried to win it, but unfortunately he could not get the consent of the other elders and presidents, which also caused him to see Gu Bai every day as if he wanted to swallow him alive.
When Shen Liangxu was unhappy, Gu Bai was happy, and even practiced cooking those two dishes in front of him. It would be better to make Shen Liangxu angry to death.
Time passed day by day, and soon came the day of foreign visit to China.
His Majesty, the Emperor of the Empire, brought officials and military generals to greet the top leaders and representatives from other countries, giving other countries enough face.
During the day, it was time for leaders of various countries to meet with the emperor of the empire, and at night it was time for a state banquet.
"Tonight, I invite you to taste the delicacies newly researched by our country in the past few years." The emperor of the empire, Jun Yu, said with a smile to the leaders of other countries.
Since the end of wars in various countries and life has been peacefully stabilized, there has been a boom in the revival of food culture. All countries are actively searching for and studying ancient books, trying to restore the diet of the ancient earth.
However, because of the turmoil in the past, very few ancient books were brought out. In addition, every country has been in constant wars over the years, and a lot of ancient books have been lost. It is difficult to find a reference now. You can only start from scratch step by step.
Therefore, the diets of various countries are still dominated by nutrient solutions, supplemented by a small amount of natural food, and there are only a few dishes that can be made back and forth.
In the beginning, the empire established friendly relations with other countries, foreign leaders visited China, and the state banquet was not even a hundred dishes. It has gradually improved in the last hundred years, and the menu of the state banquet has also been enriched a lot, but it is still the same as the previous one. State dinner menus have a lot of repetition.
"It's not going to be scrambled eggs with tomatoes, or vegetables like scrambled meat, right?" The leader of the US-Kenian Empire said with a chuckle, as if he had mentioned it unintentionally.
The relationship between the American Empire and their Hua-Xia Empire is not very friendly. Although they have signed a friendly agreement, they like to compete with their empire in some aspects, including food.
The people of the American Empire always take the opportunity to ridicule them that there are only so many kinds of food tossing and turning, in fact, the food in their country is not necessarily so rich.
I really don't know where the people in the American Empire get their sense of superiority.
"Of course not, this time you will definitely be able to return home happily." Jun Yu said with a smile, but looked at the Emperor of the American Empire with sharp eyes.
"Then I can't wait."
Everyone moved to the state banquet hall. The top leaders of various countries sat at a table, and the rest of the officials sat at a table.
Jun Yu said a few words to the waiter beside him, and saw the waiter gracefully step down and go to the kitchen to inform President Yang Xun and others that they can serve.
In the past, banquets were served directly from the big dishes, and the big dishes and the small dishes were presented in turn. Several state banquets were in this order, and representatives of other countries were also familiar with this.
But this time, with the addition of Gu Bai, the banquet process has become more complete, and it is closer to the banquet specifications of the ancient earth period.
The first thing on the table is the tea table - Baiyu milk tea.
Baiyu milk tea is a famous palace dessert in the ancient earth period. It is made of milk, black tea and glutinous rice flour. It is slightly sweet and not greasy, with the unique fragrance of tea.
Immediately after that, there are four Dao Feng dim sum, which are tea food knife cut, almond bergamot, crispy apple, Heyi cake, Zanbox first-grade dragon and phoenix drawing gold Zanbox dragon plate, four-hi dried fruit and four sweet confectionery, which are tiger-skin peanuts , Wei Dabian, milk white grapes, snow mountain plums, candied apples, candied longan, candied fresh peaches, candied green plums.
After the dried fruit and candied fruit are served, it is the five cold spells in the appetizers, Longfeng Chengxiang, Hongzi Chicken Shredded Cucumber, Fuzi Braised Tenderloin, Wanzi Spicy Belly, and Nianzi Mushroom Hair Cai. The names are pleasant and refreshing and appetizing.
Every time a foreign leader tastes a dish, the surprise on his face will be a little more, and he keeps saying "delicious" and "very good" in his mouth, which does not hide his satisfaction with the dishes. .
Even the emperor of the American Empire, who had been fighting against the Hua-Xia Empire, would occasionally reveal some of his emotions subconsciously, no matter how hard he tried to hide his emotions.
When Jun Yu saw this, although his face was not obvious, his eyes were full of pride and pride, and he was very satisfied with the people who participated in the state banquet.
After the appetizers were over, the hot dishes began to be served. After waiting for these dishes to be served, the foreign friends who were stunned before realized that the previous ones were just appetizers, and they were truly worthy of praise.
"Yu, are these dishes made by your country's chefs? It's the first time I've eaten such delicious food, and it's great!" One of the leaders, who was friendly to the Hua-Xia Empire, pointed at Jun Yu. Thumbs up, praised without hesitation.
"Is this the traditional Chinese-Xia cuisine? It's really delicious."
"Wow, that's too much. There are so many things that I don't want to delay. I'm going to keep my stomach and eat the following."
The leaders looked at the food that was being served constantly, and their exclamations never stopped.
Fortunately, their table is relatively large, and even if thirty or forty dishes have been served, they can still hold it.
The tables of other officials were smaller than those of the top leaders, and the dishes on the table were slightly different from the main table, but despite this, many foreign friends were amazed and praised.
President Yang Xun and the elders have been sending people to monitor the situation in the state banquet hall. After all, they have taken bold measures this time to change all the menus of state banquets in previous years.
Doing so is actually quite risky.
