Chapter 34 Fusion Cuisine Restaurant

Inside the newly opened fusion restaurant.

The proprietress Sun Xiaowei, who is not very old, only 27 or [-] years old, is sitting in the store in a cheongsam, dignified and elegant, looking a little sad.

Since she fell in love with this place during her travels, she wanted to live here for a long time. Because she has worked in the catering industry and has resources in this area at home, she resolutely decided to open a restaurant in this place where the per capita consumption is not high and the flow of tourists is not large. A fusion restaurant.

The stage of trial operation was okay, but when it officially started, the daily operation was a bit bleak.

After all, the consumption level of her store is not friendly to many people who come to Qiongyou to check in.In addition, the reputation of the store itself has not been established, and there are not many people who come to the store exclusively.

"Here it is, you come to order."

"Wait a minute, let me look at the menu at the door first."

Suddenly, two voices sounded at her door and floated into her ears.

I heard that I came here to eat...

It seemed that her publicity on the Internet finally had an effect, and she hurriedly got up and went to the door to welcome her.

When I came out, I saw two people who were about my age, their eyes lit up, and they showed bright smiles, because people of this age would not care much about the prices on the menu when they had ample wallets.

But not absolutely.

Of the two, the taller and more handsome one was flipping through the menu. Sun Xiaowei secretly thought that he should be the one who made the decision. She greeted her with a smile on her face: "Both of you, why don't you come and sit inside? Our store just opened , I’ve been engaging in activities recently.”

"Ok?"

Zhang Wentao froze for a moment.

When Hu Youyu saw that she was a beautiful woman, a strange light flashed in his eyes, he pushed Zhang Wentao aside, and said with a smile, "That's exactly what we mean."

Sun Xiaowei smiled slightly, bowed her body and took a step back, raised her hand to guide Hu Youyu into the shop.

This scene stunned Zhang Wentao.

He finally understood why this guy didn't invite Da Mai to meet Nana, he was too hungry.

Complaining in his heart, he also hurried towards the store.

"Our restaurant is a fusion of Western food and local special ingredients. You two have a look at the menu, and give us an evaluation after tasting."

Leading the two of them in and sitting down, Sun Xiaowei brought two menus and handed them to them.

"Mmm Good."

After Hu Youyu finished speaking, he blinked at Zhang Wentao, as if to say, "Brother, it's up to you."

Looking at the other party's actions, Zhang Wentao opened the menu speechlessly. It doesn't matter if you don't open it. If you really look carefully, you are even more speechless, and your brows are wrinkled.

Combining dishes from different cuisines, different regions, different characteristics, and different experience methods is basically a fusion restaurant.Western-style fusion restaurants are basically meals selected from various fields in various countries and selected according to local consumption habits.

For Zhang Wentao, who is familiar with Western food, such a menu is more troublesome.

Because I can't understand many things... For example, what does this Korean-style charcoal-grilled filet mignon mean?What is local mixed berry sauce with duck?Grilled Chicken Skin with Liver is…

After pondering for a long time, he only ordered a few dishes, so let's treat it as a novelty.

After secretly writing down the dishes ordered by the guests, Sun Xiaowei politely asked the two guests: "Do you need a bottle of red wine? We have Cabernet Sauvignon from Bordeaux winery in France, as well as Italian and New World wines."

"No, we came by car."

Zhang Wentao shook his head and rejected the proposal. The two of them came here by bicycle, drinking alcohol is considered drunk driving.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Sun Xiaowei who was rejected nodded, poured water for the two of them carefully, and left their dining table.

"Old Zhang, what are New World and Cabernet Sauvignon?" Hu Youyu asked in a low voice as soon as she left.

"It's just a variety of grapes. The New World is red wine from Chile, Australia, and the beautiful country. Anyway, if you want to drink it, you can't go wrong with Chile, trust me."

After listening to Zhang Wentao's explanation, Hu Youyu nodded and wrote it down, this kind of thing can be used in the future.

The two of them waited for a short time, maybe because there were not many customers, or because they ordered a lot, Sun Xiaowei personally brought over the dishes one by one, and introduced the various ingredients to the two of them in detail.

Although Hu Youyu didn't understand many of them, he was very serious and nodded from time to time.

Zhang Wentao smiled, this guy really doesn't want to pretend in front of women all the time, but with Sun Xiaowei's introduction, he also focused on the dishes.

The level of presentation is okay, but this one is not difficult.

The real difficulty of fusion cuisine is to integrate the unique cooking methods of each place into the local flavor in an innovative way, and to transform the dishes on the basis of "complete color, fragrance and taste", rather than blindly combining them.

This is a test of a chef's knowledge of food culture in various places, professional foundation, and sense of innovation.To put it simply, if you want to make a good fusion dish, you don’t just copy the plate presentation skills in Michelin restaurants, simply put a beautiful plate, and arrange the dishes in a good-looking way.

After all, there is a big difference between Chinese food and Western food in essence.

Even many Michelin-starred restaurants and chefs, because of their excessive pursuit of plate presentation, have affected the taste of the dishes, and have been criticized while falling out of the ranks of Michelin-starred restaurants.

And the dishes in Sun Xiaowei's shop obviously have this kind of problem.

Novel and innovative methods, unconventional fusion forms, but because the chef's lack of control over the taste of food and sauces, fatal shortcomings have emerged.

Faced with such dishes, Zhang Wentao lost interest in hunting for novelties. After eating two bites casually, he saw that Hu Youyu was delicious, and asked in doubt: "Old Hu, is it so delicious?"

"Whether it's delicious or not, I'm sorry for my wallet if I spend so much money on it."

Hu Youyu chewed the food in his mouth, and said in a gulp.

Zhang Wentao opened his eyes wide and looked at the other party. It took him a while to realize that it was not a problem with his sense of taste, but that the other party felt sorry for Qian Hou and said, "Then you eat more, and you don't need to eat supper when you go back at night."

"Don't worry."

Hu Youyu's slightly dark face flashed with self-confidence, if you don't eat for nothing, you won't eat for nothing.

As for Zhang Wentao, he glanced at the Korean-style charcoal-grilled steak in front of him, and couldn't help but shake it away. If he knew that ordering pizza would be bad, at least he could swallow it.

This dish is really not as delicious as the spicy air-dried yak jerky...

After Hu Youyu had eaten and drank enough, Zhang Wentao had almost drunk his fill: "Boss, please settle the bill."

"Chenghui 732, after the discount is 585.6, just charge you 580." Sun Xiaowei walked over with a smile holding two taste survey questionnaires and a QR code payment code.

"So expensive? Why don't we AA?" Hu Youyu asked in confusion.

He basically wiped out all the food on the table, so he was a little embarrassed to let Zhang Wentao treat him.

"Let me come, it's okay." Zhang Wentao scanned the QR code, paid 580, took the questionnaire and glanced at it casually, and said to Sun Xiaowei: "We won't fill in this, it's unnecessary, really .”

"My customer, what do you mean by that?" Sun Xiaowei was taken aback for a moment.

"It's not interesting, just change the chef, and don't make fusion dishes easily, really."

After Zhang Wentao finished speaking, he raised his butt, signaling Hu Youyu to prepare to go back together.

"No, you have to explain this clearly. I can't drive our chef away just because of your words."

Sun Xiaowei felt a tightness in her chest. She personally invited the chef here, and the salary is not low.

"Oh, that's nothing. I still have something to do, let's go first."
