Chapter 1470: Sweet and sour meat

Yuan Zhou nodded to he Zhenghong and then took a step to the center of the circle before saying,””I’ve prepared eight main dishes this time. The first one is the sweet and sour pork.”

“This dish started in the Qing Dynasty of our country. At that time, many foreign friends who came to Guangzhou loved local dishes, especially the sweet and sour pork ribs. However, because of their eating habits, they were not used to spitting out bones, so this dish was born.” Yuan Zhou explained the origin of the dishes slowly and clearly.

While Yuan Zhou was introducing, the people around these dignitaries and the royal family began to translate it for them in unison.

However, the voice of these translators was very soft. Basically, only the people beside them could hear it clearly. Therefore, it didn’t affect Yuan Zhou’s speech.

He Zhenghong was quite satisfied with Yuan Zhou’s introduction. After all, the story behind a delicacy was also a kind of fun. Moreover, Yuan Zhou had said it very well.

When some people were satisfied, there would naturally be others who were dissatisfied, especially the politicians of India and Thailand.

The Prince of the Thailand royal family was middle-aged but had a good figure. He had a big black beard and asked the translator softly,””Is it the same Lu cuisine that China served last time?”

“No, I heard that it’s Sichuan and Cantonese cuisine this time, not Shandong cuisine.” The translator answered seriously while Yuan Zhou was talking.

“Oh, it doesn’t look any different anyway.” The Thailand Prince shrugged his shoulders without a trace and looked bored.

That’s right, the Thailand Prince was not very interested in China Food because of the difference in taste. He was not used to Chinese food, which was so light that it was tasteless.

Hmm … Forget about Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, do you think the Thailand Prince has ever eaten them?

“It’s said that there are eight Chinese cuisines, so the taste this time should be different from the last time. ” The translator said seriously.

Although the translator was not a Chinese, he had a good understanding of China because of his translation skills. He explained the difference in taste between the two cuisines to the Thailand Prince.

“Alright, but I’m still looking forward to our own cuisines.” The Thailand Prince responded in a low voice, then pretended to be focused and obedient.

The India politicians at the side, on the other hand, held the same feelings as the Thailand Prince and listened to Yuan Zhou’s speech in a rather tormented manner.

As one of the neighboring countries to the southwest of China, India a good understanding of China. This was not the first time that this diplomat had been to China, but no matter how many times he had been here, he was not used to Chinese food.

Therefore, every meal was a torture for him. After all, there was no India curry. To him, food that didn’t need to be held with his hands was soulless … Okay, it was a joke. To them, the heavy taste was the food.

Spicy, sour, and salty were all strong flavors.

For foreigners who didn’t come to China often, they would have a good idea of what it was the first time they tried it.

“Oh, my God. It looks like it’s a light flavor again. It’s not even as good as the spicy Sichuan cuisine.” The India political leader could not help but roll his eyes.

That’s right. The India politician didn’t pay attention to Yuan Zhou’s words at all. He was just playing along on the surface. Naturally, he didn’t hear clearly what Yuan Zhou said about the dish this time.

The India politician was only waiting for the meal to start, so he pretended to be fine.

Among them, dashi xiujie was the one who listened the most seriously. After all, his goal was to defeat Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he listened very seriously.

In fact, Yuan Zhou had seen the reactions of these people. After all, his hearing had long been extraordinary. However, he remained calm.

After all, he had met many people who doubted his cooking skills in the early days of the restaurant’s opening. He didn’t care about these people at all.

While Yuan Zhou was introducing this dish seriously, Wu Hai had already stood outside the circle.

Moreover, he was dressed in a custom-made pure black suit and stood there with a serious look. He held a wine glass and nodded to Yuan Zhou to show his respect.

At the side, Zheng Jiawei revealed an embarrassed smile to Yuan Zhou.

At that time, Yuan Zhou had just finished his explanation. He reached out his hand and said,””Then, please have a taste of the new sweet and sour meat.”

After saying that, Yuan Zhou nodded his head to everyone and then stood back.

As soon as Yuan Zhou stood back, he Zhenghong went up to him and continued talking with a smile,””Before you taste the food, let me introduce some things to you.”

He Zhenghong nodded to Wu Hai and then said,”This is Wu Hai, a famous young artist in our country.”

“Oh, the artist who created the painting of the eaves at the world Youth exhibition?” After he Zhenghong’s introduction, some of the Japanese politicians immediately asked.

“Yes, that’s the one.” He Zhenghong nodded.

With the introduction of the two people, everyone at the scene turned their eyes to Wu Hai. After hearing what the translator beside them said, they couldn’t help having some understanding of the Chinese art in their hearts.

At the side, Wu Hai, who was being introduced, didn’t say anything. He just nodded his head reservedly to everyone, looking very much like a painter.

In the case of wearing a suit and not leaning on the door, Wu Hai had to have the temperament of an artist.

“Alright, let’s continue tasting the food.” After he Zhenghong finished introducing Wu Hai, he said with a smile.

“Thank you. I’ll start eating then.” As he Zhenghong spoke, she directly turned sideways and took the chopsticks prepared by her assistant to pick up a piece of sweet and sour pork and put it on a small plate.

The plate of sweet and sour pork was placed in a super large plate with three colors, white, cyan and green. The plate was made in the shape of a boat.

The sweet and sour meat was placed in an open-style cabin. It was in a translucent round shape. From a distance, the shell seemed to be wrapped in a layer of crystal. The bright orange-red color was arranged neatly at the bottom of the ship.

After he Zhenghong took one, a corner was missing, but soon, as the people in the circle took it away one by one, there were only a few crystal clear orangey-red balls left in the cabin.

“Then I won’t be polite.” Seeing that everyone had finished, he Zhenghong picked up the small plate and was ready to eat.

As soon as he said that, the first one to stuff the sweet and sour pork into his mouth was not he Zhenghong, but Wu Hai.

After Wu Hai heard the signal that it was edible, he stuffed the little round ball into his mouth and started to chew.

The rest of the people moved at a normal speed. The slowest were the Thailand Prince and India politicians who were not used to Chinese food.

The Thailand Prince’s chopsticks were good. He originally planned to taste it a little and then spit it out, so he picked up the ball and put it in his mouth.

However, before he could spit it out, the outer shell, which was crystal clear and emitting white gas like ice crystals, shattered.

In an instant, orange-red juice flowed out, and a cold, sweet and sour taste rushed into his mouth.

“Oh? It tastes different from the ones I’ve had before?” This sentence flashed across the mind of the Thailand Prince, and he subconsciously stuffed the sweet and sour pork into his mouth.

“Kacha Kacha” the sound of chewing rang out. As the outer layer was broken, the Thailand Prince realized that the layer of white gas that they thought was hot at first was actually not hot, but cold air produced by ice crystals when they were heated.

The outer layer of the sweet and sour meat was really thin ice, but surprisingly, after biting through the ice, the sweet and sour juice inside was very delicious with a cold taste. However, when he chewed on the inner layer, the tender meat was hot, and as he chewed, it burst out with sweet gravy.

It tasted sour with a hint of sweetness, just like a fresh fruit with a meaty fragrance.

“Is this really Chinese food?”

“I didn’t expect Chinese food to be so delicious.” This was the only sentence in the mind of the Thailand Prince.
