Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

“Chairman Zhou, you must know the head chef here must be very familiar with him . ” Yuan Zhou observed the surroundings around them and suddenly said that .

“Really? How do you know that?” Zhou Shijie didn’t try to conceal that matter and thus asked curiously .

“One has to make the reservation at least one month prior if he wants to eat in a Michelin Three Star Restaurant . Even though you know the head chef, you shouldn’t be able to eat here so quickly . ” With a frown, Yuan Zhou thought of the rules and then said .

“What if I really made the reservation one month ago?” Zhou Shijie said smilingly .

“You’ll definitely tell me about that . ” Yuan Zhou said confidently .

“Haw-haw . You are right . After eating, you’ll know who the head chef is . ” Zhou Shijie winked at Yuan Zhou and said mysteriously .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded and asked nothing more .

Meanwhile, the dishes in the kitchen also started to be carried out one after another .

“Andrew, come here . ” At that time, Chu Xiao had put on the face mask, which made his voice sound a little hollow . However, Andrew still heard that immediately and ran over .

“Ok . Shall I scoop it up?” Andrew asked quite consciously .

“Do it one minute later . You watch it now and then scoop it up with this . ” Chu Xiao took a pair of chopsticks and handed to Andrew directly .

“No problem . ” Andrew answered him with full confidence .

The beautiful chopsticks had an ivory tone with a light pink color, which was both pretty and fulfilling . They emitted a beautiful glossiness in the cool water .

“Head chef, this goose liver from the Southwest is really very nice . It also has a little bit of fragrance . ” Andrew scooped the goose liver up and put it down and then couldn’t help saying that .

“It’s from Strasbourg . ” Chu Xiao said lightly .

“I still feel the goose liver from the Southwest is the best . ” Andrew didn’t dare to retort, but he still muttered in a low voice .

As a matter of fact, it wasn’t surprising that Andrew said so . After all, the cuisine of goose liver didn’t originate from France, but from ancient Egypt .

Then, it went to Rome and afterwards, France . During the rule of Louis XVI, goose liver was offered to the royal court as a tribute . After that, it was well-received by the king and became very popular among the people . Besides that, it was praised by many writers, musicians and artists of that time .

Ever since then, it has established itself as a noble delicacy .

The two production areas of the best goose liver were the southwest part and Strasbourg of France . Many people participated in the dispute over the positions of the two places, but they almost always matched evenly with each other .

“The red wine fed in the goose liver in Strasbourg conforms to my aesthetic appreciation more . ” Chu Xiao said to Andrew .

“I see . ” Andrew nodded his head .

Right after that, Chu Xiao completed the preparations for the specialty goose liver on his own . Of course, the side dishes were completed by Andrew based on the division of work assigned by Chu Xiao .

“Ta Ta Ta”, along with the light footsteps, the brown-haired waitress carried the main cuisine to them .

The main cuisine was nevertheless a little special . Normally, dishes of French cuisines were all exquisite were of small amount; some even had the amount of only a mouthful .

Therefore, there was only one plate . However, this time was different . Including the brown-haired waitress, there were four pretty girls that came up while carrying the trays .

“Please let me change the dinnerware for you two . ” The waitress was another one who specifically changed dinnerware this time .

“Ok . ” Zhou Shijie answered .

Naturally, Yuan Zhou nodded his head with his usual aloof manner, indicating his consent .

“The main cuisine prepared by our head chef today is a little special . It’s our specialty goose liver . Please have a look . ” The brown-haired waitress then uncovered the cooking pan .

Almost at the same time, there passed the frying sound of “Zi Zi” from inside . However, the fragrance of the goose liver came to them much quicker than the sound .

A slightly oily flavor yet with a little sweetness and sourness filled the noses of the two people . The fragrance came from the fried goose liver with a beautiful color .

“Hum . . . It turns out to be top-notch goose liver . Such a mellow fragrance is really wonderful . ” Zhou Shijie commented first .

“It’s indeed very good except the apple . ” Yuan Zhou immediately revealed that the scent of sweetness and sourness came from an apple .

Even if there wasn’t the shadow of an apple at all on the plate .

“Let me taste it first . ” Zhou Shijie didn’t say much, but just signaled Yuan Zhou to eat first .

“The design of the plate is fairly interesting . ” Yuan Zhou noticed the plate of the dish, yet not because it was good-looking .

After all, the plate provided by the system was more beautiful . It was just that there was a thermometer on the plate showing the current temperature of the goose liver .

“It’s exactly 35 . 5 degrees, the temperature of the human body . At that temperature, the fat in the goose liver barely melts . ” Before Yuan Zhou came over here, he had made good preparations about French dishes .

Therefore, he was quite familiar with the goose liver, the most famous French dish .

“So it is . The temperature is really controlled well . ” Zhou Shijie took a look and really found the plate was showing the temperature .

If the dish was carried to them after it’s cooked, the temperature naturally wouldn’t be as good and precise for people to eat . Actually, the dish was definitely well cooked on the way to them .

Therefore, the goose liver was just perfect to be eaten when it was served on the table . It was quite difficult to make the process so concise . That was also the reason why Zhou Shijie was so surprised .

“Great indeed . ” Yuan Zhou also nodded his head affirmatively .

After saying that, Yuan Zhou started to enjoy the dish .

At that time, the etiquette of eating western-style dish finally came in handy .

Formerly, Yuan Zhou used the knife and fork as per his own habits . Naturally, there wasn’t any aesthetic feeling .

But it was different now . Yuan Zhou lifted the knife lightly and pressed it on the tender goose liver softly .

Then, the knife penetrated it without effort . Yuan Zhou immediately cut a small piece and stuffed it into his mouth .

Instantly, the mellow fragrance of the goose liver alike to the faint fragrance of fresh chestnuts flooded into his mouth along with the intoxicating red wine .

They started to give a dance in the mouth impatiently . As the inlet temperature was close to the body temperature, it wasn’t abrupt at all . Because of that, the goose liver contrarily melted immediately upon entering the mouth without even chewing .

Although Yuan Zhou only ate a small piece, its fragrance and fine texture fermented ceaselessly in his mouth, which continuously emitted much fragrance .

The fine texture mixed with the top-notch fragrance made even Yuan Zhou feel difficult to resist .

“As expected of goose liver . ” There appeared a smile on Yuan Zhou’s face .

“Of course . That must be attributed to the craftsmanship and ingenuity of the head chef . ” Zhou Shijie likewise nodded his head and echoed .

“Absolutely . It’s really an originality to blend the apple juice in the butter and make it into the apple butter and then fry the goose liver with it . ” After only one mouthful, Yuan Zhou recognized the ingredients and said that .

“It turns out they added the butter at the very beginning . Originally, only a little butter is needed . Never have I thought it to be so . ” Zhou Shijie patted on his head and suddenly found it was really so after he thought for a while .

“Plus with the cooking method of roasting only the iron plate instead of frying the goose liver directly, the temperature can be precisely controlled at 35 . 5 degrees when it’s served to us . ” Yuan Zhou straightforwardly brought out the reason why two servings of goose liver would need four waitresses .

The remaining two waitresses were naturally approaching to take away the iron plate without leaving a trace .

“Isn’t that so, Head Chef Chu?” After saying that, Yuan Zhou turned his head and said that as if he had felt something .
