Chapter 140 Huaxia Platter

Xiao H took his puppy and lay lazily on the side, not understanding why these humans were nervous about a plate of vegetables.

In its opinion, this dish that is more beautiful than Miss Cheng Yuqi is not as good as a meat bone.

Amazing comes from first acquaintance, and shock comes from familiarity.

Among the stars present, the two gourmets, Mr. Huang and Mr. Yu, were the most shocked.

After the raised plate cover was unveiled, what was presented to everyone was a poem and a painting.

The ham has long lost its proper appearance. Under Zhou Dong's skillful hands, the ham has become an arch bridge with a small arc.

What kind of carving skills is this? It is so meticulous that people can see the statue of Leo at the end of the bridge, the indirect railings, and the people walking on the bridge... There are naughty children who are still in the age of childish hair, trembling old women, husbands holding umbrellas and carrying luggage, and ladies who quietly push the curtains in the sedan chair to peek at the pretty husband.

It is said that success lies in the details, and the details of this dish are simply outrageous.

Cheng Yuqi even saw the "blue stone slabs" laid on the bridge deck. The irregular grooves between the stone slabs vary in depth. Some of them were probably trampled on by people more times, and there were also signs of depression on the surface...

There are twenty-four bridge holes under the bridge, and white moonlight passes through it. Is this the moonlight in the sky? Of course not. After looking carefully, everyone realized that they were only twenty-four tofu carved into round shapes. It was just that the bridge was too real, which caused visual deception.

It’s not enough to have a bridge alone. There is a slightly wavy water surface under the bridge. When I think back, I understand why Zhou Dong shook it twice before putting the dishes on the table, just to make the water surface turbulent?

On the "water surface", there were also lotus leaves slightly yellow in the blue, and a white lotus protruded and had already opened its lotus petals. Cheng Yuqi looked curiously and immediately covered her mouth in shock. There were lotus stamens in the lotus petals, but unfortunately, the lotus seeds had not yet been produced.

On the 'shore', there are actually faint green mountains that are undulating, but they are made with green fresh spinach. In this dish, there are objects, water and light, and the green mountains are far away, and the white lotus is seen close to it!

Is this the same dish?

The cameraman in the program team is well-informed, and his hands holding the camera still can't help but tremble slightly. Fortunately, the camera has anti-shake function, which does not hinder close-range high-definition shooting!

"This...this is the real moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges, right?"

Teacher Huang and Teacher Yu, whose eyes were shiny, looked at each other, and they said at the same time: "And it's a real Chinese plaza!"

Chinese cuisine can basically be divided into three categories.

The first category: home-cooked dishes. Teacher Huang basically cooks this category in the program. In some small restaurants, these dishes are mostly provided. Even some big restaurants must prepare such dishes, such as shredded potatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, seaweed egg soup, etc.

The second category: regular dishes, eight major dishes, fine dishes among local dishes, table-based banquets. Compared with home-cooked dishes, it pays more attention to the combination of cold and heat, with meat and vegetables, and the dishes are generally more exquisite. Not only do they pay attention to the taste, but also begin to pay attention to the external shape and color. The "belts on the court" made by Shen Gongdao actually has both color, fragrance and flavor, which is essentially different from ordinary home-cooked dishes.

Some private restaurants may even improve the cuisine based on the cuisine to further enhance the character of shape and color. Such dishes taste satisfactory, and the appreciation process before eating is also very pleasing to the eye.

But even the authentic essence of the eight major cuisines is not yet considered a real placing!

The third category is the Chinese dishes: the dishes are of classics, colors and flavors. If they are placed on a long table, they must have scenery step by step, mountains and forests, allusions in the scenery, and characters in the allusions!

For such a banquet, perhaps half of the things cannot be eaten, but are used to see them.

Zhou Dong’s 24 Bridge Moon Night is different from the ones that blindly vassed Jin Xue’s small restaurants. Dig a few holes in the ham and throws tofu balls in and cooks for several years. But is that called the 24 Bridge Moon Night? Don’t joke, okay!

Zhou Dong’s dish truly corresponds to the artistic conception of “The green mountains are faintly drifting, and the grass in the south of the Yangtze River has not withered” in the original poem; when I think of the original poem, everyone suddenly felt aroused, how could there be no elements of golden books?

There was a kind young man on the bridge. He was walking side by side with a pretty little beggar. Isn’t it Guo Daxia and Huang Rong?

"Is this what China is doing?"

Gu Yacheng was really shocked. Shangzhou Group started out with catering. Of course, he is not unfamiliar with Chinese cuisine. However, because of his Western education, he has been living abroad in his youth and has never cared about Chinese displays.

In fact, he didn't care much about Jiuzhou Dingshi. According to his ideas, Shangzhou Group should build fine Western restaurants, such as allowing fine restaurants like Michelin to bloom everywhere; if it weren't for the fact that his sister Gu Yanan had always insisted, his father also had high hopes for Chinese food, Jiuzhou Dingshi might be called a continental restaurant now.

Now that I have seen this poetic and picturesque moonlit night on the Twenty-Four Bridges with my own eyes, Gu Yacheng has to admit that the so-called Samsung Michelin presentations I have seen before are all shit.

However, when Gu Yacheng thought that he had eaten all the 'dog shit' before, he was very unwilling to accept it. He thought for a while and said, "This dish of the Twenty-Four Bridges Moon Night is beautiful, but can all the ingredients used in this dish be eaten?"

When Teacher Huang and Teacher Yu heard his question, they also looked at Zhou Dong with some concern.

It has to be admitted that China has indeed entered a vicious circle in recent years.

In order to make the plate look good, it has gradually deviated from the category of food. You can't imagine that there are inedible strange stones, green plants and even glass accessories on the dining table, and you can't imagine that in order to create the effect of waterfalls and springs, there is also an autologous water circulation system on the dining table...

Although this method has been around since ancient times, even if Song Huizong put a small birthday gift on the dining table, he would still have very strict requirements on the dishes. Unlike the current platter, he demanded a sky-high price and was placed in a fairyland. He immediately returned to the "world" as soon as he ate it.

Metaphysics has become the deepest pain in the Chinese market, and it is also criticized by many gourmets. Fortunately, the banquet was held by a group of foreigners and laymen. If a diligent senior like the "Big Three" went to eat, there would probably be nothing good to say to him.

“All the ingredients used in this dish are edible and very delicious.”

Zhou Dong started to invite him: "Please taste it."

"OK!"

Cheng Yuqi paused the chopsticks excitedly, then frowned and stunned. Teacher Yu and the others also smiled bitterly.

How can such a beautiful picture scroll that is as poetic as a painting, and where should people get the chopsticks?

"The dishes are considered high-quality only when they meet with nature. So, let's start with it and take the moonlight first."
