Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 742 The Patriarch of the Food World

  Soon, the oysters are ready.

  The whole process was recorded by two cameras. Such a rare scene is not to be missed.

   Yang Chen held a plate, put the roasted oysters on the plate, and then distributed them to everyone, "Everyone, eat them quickly, otherwise it will be cold and the taste will be bad!"

"Haha" Cai Lan didn't care whether it was hot or not, she ate the oyster meat into her mouth in one bite, chewed it, and said with a smile: "After I go back, Lao Jin and I have some blows, and the big boss grilled it with his own hands. Good fortune, good fortune."

Li Lizhen imitated Cai Lan's example and shoved the meat from the oyster shell into her mouth in one bite. She was handsome for only a second, and then spit it out quickly, crying and saying, "Bah...it's not delicious, it's all garlicky, it's unpalatable to death. ."

  Yang Chen glanced at the girl Li Lizhen, and couldn't help laughing and crying: "Don't waste it, this oyster can be tasted only by adding minced garlic."

  Oysters generally live in the sand. Because they live in the sand for a long time, the fishy smell of oysters is much heavier than that of ordinary fish.

  In the process of processing oysters, adding mustard and minced garlic can well mask the fishy smell of oysters.

   When grilling oysters, adding minced garlic can make the oysters more fragrant. People who like to eat oysters usually prefer oysters with minced garlic.

  Oysters are rich in a variety of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients needed by the human body. They are a kind of high-protein and low-fat food. They were once known as the milk of the sea and have extremely high nutritional value.

  Oysters have high requirements for freshness, so transportation and preservation are relatively difficult. Except for coastal cities, the price of oysters in other places is relatively high.

   Of course, as a maritime country with a lonely continent, the British have no such troubles. They want to eat seafood, any type, and any time period.

  The oysters in different places are grown in different environments and cultures, and the way of eating them is also different.

  Uncle Xiang handed a plate of sliced ​​lemons and fresh unbaked oysters to Li Lizhen and said with a smile, "If Miss Li doesn't like minced garlic, you can try this!"

   "How do you eat this?" Li Lizhen looked at the oysters on the plate that were not even grilled, and asked with a confused expression.

   "Just a few drops of lemon juice will do." Uncle Xiang said as he demonstrated to Li Lizhen.

   Watching Uncle Xiang eat a raw oyster into his mouth with a satisfied look, Li Lizhen hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, and almost didn't spit it out.

After Uncle Xiang finished eating raw oysters, he saw that Li Lizhen didn't seem to be very interested in this way of eating, so he continued to introduce: "If Miss Li doesn't like this way of eating, you can try to make incense with green onions and red wine vinegar. The vinegar sauce is paired with oysters, so the taste is richer and the mouth is full of aftertaste.”

   Seeing that Uncle Xiang was still going to let her eat raw oysters, Li Lizhen quickly picked up the chicken wings on the side, nibbled them, and said, "No, I still prefer chicken wings."

For the Chinese, eating raw meat is a tormenting thing. Few people will try it. Even if it feels fresh occasionally, after trying it once, they will basically never try it again (not including very few).

  The eating method described by Uncle Xiang is a kind of eating method called "Oyster Textbook" by the British, and it is also a kind of eating raw oysters.

  In Europe, Europeans have the same habit of eating oysters as islanders like to eat sashimi.

   In addition to the United Kingdom, the neighboring France is also a big country that likes to eat raw oysters. Compared with the United Kingdom, the French enjoy more food than the British.

   Therefore, their way of eating is also more abundant.

  French oysters originated in the Roman era. So far, France has been the largest oyster producer in the world and the first country in Europe to farm oysters on a large scale. There are thousands of oyster farms in China.

  With more than 2,000 miles of coastline and the best natural oyster riverbed in the world, French oysters are very complex in terms of variety and taste, and there are thousands of brands of French oysters alone.

  The oysters under each brand have their own unique taste due to the differences in seawater, tides and farming techniques, making them the most complex delicacy in the world.

   Therefore, French oysters are famous all over the world.

   It's just that Europeans like to make a slap in the face of everything, and they like to be crowned with an aristocratic title at every turn.

   Similarly, oysters are no exception. Some high-grade oysters are eaten raw in restaurants, pursuing the so-called original flavor.

   In this regard, Yang Chen is not very cold.

  What is the original flavor, for him, it's just shit. When he eats, he only sees one thing, that is, whether the food is good or not, the appearance and ingredients are second.

   If the taste is not good, even if it is original and has nutritional value, he will not destroy his tongue.

  Although there is a camera around him to shoot, Yang Chen still eats his own way, and he doesn't mean to hide it. Anyway, everyone who should know what he can eat already knows, and he can't hide it if he wants to.

  Many people in later generations like to put a foodie hat on themselves. Now he doesn't need to say it, he just needs to prove it with practical actions.

   When the Internet era comes in the future and foodies become popular, he is a veritable grandfather in the foodie world.

   Foodies from all walks of life have to burn incense and worship their ancestors.

   After a while, when the food was almost finished, Cai Lan couldn't help but ask, "Boss, I heard that you bought Li's Voice?"

   Yang Chen was stunned when he heard the words, "Who did you listen to?"

  Cai Lan shook his head and said, "No one told me, I heard about our program before I came here, and it can be broadcast directly in Southeast Asia and other regions in the future, and there is no need to resell it to local TV stations.

  When I came to London, I saw a report on the plane, which reported that Li's Voice was acquired. The company that acquired Li's Voice happened to be the YAA company under your boss. "

  Yang Chen listened, nodded and said: "Yes, Li's voice has now been acquired by us, not only Southeast Asia, but also the UK side is our target."

   Having said that, Yang Chen wiped his mouth, took a sip of red wine and said, "I am very optimistic about your food show. Next, by taking the opportunity of recording the show, you can get to know more about and get to know the chefs of various countries.

   To dig out famous chefs from various countries and regions, we can hold a cooking competition in the future, and let chefs from various countries compete with each other. "

   "Besides, you have to find more famous foodies with the same aspirations as you, and make this show an international food show."
