The 'Minghu Truffle' launched by Jinghu Group was immediately snatched by partners because these truffles are of high quality and the prices given by everyone are not low.︽,

Take black truffles as an example. The average weight of each is over 200 grams. Customers offer high prices of US$1,000 per kilogram. Some super truffles will even be sent to auctions to further increase their popularity.

As for the rarer white truffles, the price is even higher, at least $8,000 per kilogram, and all of them were acquired by Smith's Wharton Group.

Although the production of the first batch of truffles in Jinghu Group was not high, it only brought hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue to Jinghu Group, and its huge revenue was just a drop in the bucket compared to Jinghu Group.

However, the production of truffles has a special significance for "Jinghu Group", which means that "Jinghu Group" has occupied a good position in the field of high-end ingredients in Western food. From then on, when the Western food industry mentions the best top ingredient suppliers, there will be a place for "Jinghu Group"!

Therefore, the symbolic meaning of truffles is greater!

Major media also reported on this, once again pushing "Jinghu Group" to the forefront and further increasing its popularity.

Just when the outside world was in trouble, Xiao Feng was not idle either. He was busy learning some Western food production techniques and methods with Dukass.

This time, Xiao Feng returned to Ginkgo Village and had to stay until the beginning of the summer vacation before he would take his children to the United States, so he had plenty of time.

Now the "Dream Ranch" has begun to get on track. Whether it is the grassland, the construction of fully automatic irrigation system is coming to an end. The introduction of cattle breeding is naturally hosted by Ma Wanli and Old Bob, so Xiao Feng doesn't have to worry about it at all.

Compared with ranch operation, Xiao Feng is more willing to stay in Ginkgo Village and spend time with his family, especially the children. He always feels empty when he leaves for too long.

This time, I happened to take this opportunity to learn the skills of top Western food under Mr. Dukasse and learn the techniques of making top Western food. This is also a hobby of Xiao Feng.

Learn Western cuisine cooking skills well. You may not necessarily have to open a restaurant. At least you can make various delicacies for your family. This is Xiao Feng’s biggest wish.

China's food culture has a long history for thousands of years. In addition, China has a vast geographical location and rich products, making Chinese food the most extensive and profound existence in the world.

Strictly speaking, modern Western food has only risen for less than five hundred years, but with the strength of Western civilization in recent hundreds of years, its international status far exceeds that of Chinese food.

Even if Xiao Feng is the toughest nationalist, he has to admit this!

Sometimes, economic strength will give cultural promotion more confidence.

…………

"Western food is just a general term for Western catering by Orientals. In fact, Western food is divided into many different styles and dishes!" When training Xiao Feng, Ducass first explained the true meaning of 'Western food' to Xiao Feng and said: "I have been in contact with French cuisine since I was a child. Even after I started to come into contact with the catering characteristics of other countries, the French style has not changed much."

Under Dukass' explanation, Xiao Feng realized that it was actually a misunderstanding that he used to call Western food and catering in Western countries collectively "Western food".

For example, Westerners have relatively subdivided the classification of oriental cuisines. "Chinese cuisine", "Japanese cuisine", "Tianzhu cuisine", etc., and will not be collectively called "Oriental cuisine"!

The styles and characteristics of each country in Western cuisine are also very different. After careful calculation, Western cuisine is not as simple as imagined, and it also has its complexity.

What's more, in today's high-end Western restaurants, Western food is no longer just a kind of diet. It is more of a reflection of culture, which brings more connotations to the promotion of the catering industry.

"It is different from the characteristics of Chinese food that emphasizes knife skills, heat and taste. In addition to pursuing taste, Western food pays more attention to nutritional matching. This requires the chef to have a deep understanding of every ingredient and can cook delicious and nutritious food!" Dukasse knew that Xiao Feng had been in contact with Chinese food since he was a child, and many concepts were deeply rooted. Therefore, before teaching, he specifically pointed out the differences between Chinese and Western food to him.

Hearing this, Xiao Feng couldn't help but nodded secretly. Teacher Dukasse's words came to the point.

In the eyes of many Westerners, foods such as braised pork, boiled fish, salted duck eggs, stinky tofu and other Chinese food are completely extremely terrible. If it weren't for those who have been in China for a long time, they wouldn't even dare to touch these foods.

In the eyes of many Chinese people, Western food is a burger and fried chicken represented by uncles and grandpas, but this is just a part of fast food. Real Western food is elegant and exquisite!

The huge difference between the two cultures also makes the two food cultures have many differences. Only by understanding the differences in them can you make better food.

Three days before starting to study with Ducasse, Ducasse did not bring Xiao Feng into the kitchen or guide him to make any Western cuisine. Instead, he stuffed him a lot of information to let him know some of the contents of French Western cuisine.

Fortunately, Xiao Feng learned French well. Although the information was stumble, with the help of French dictionary and online inquiries, Xiao Feng still showed the motivation of the college entrance examination that year and ate these materials.

After reading the information, Xiao Feng realized that he had a very shallow understanding of Western food before. He thought it only had steak, foie gras and other dishes, but he did not expect that its content was quite rich!

How to appreciate Western food culture? Scholars who study Western food have long discussed and summarized that they should pay attention to 6 "m" when eating Western food.

"menu" (recipe): When you walk into a cafe or a western restaurant, the waiter will take the customer to sit in first. After sitting down, the first thing you deliver is the recipe.

Recipes are regarded as the storefront of a restaurant, and the owner has always attached great importance to them. They use the best ingredients to make the cover of the recipe, and some even use soft sheepskin to put on various beautiful patterns, which looks particularly elegant and exquisite.

In Western restaurants, the Chinese ordering habit is completely unworkable. In Europe and the United States, even if you are the president, you have to order your own food, and you cannot let the waiters do it for you.

"mu private c" (music): In luxury and high-end Western restaurants, there are usually bands that play soft music, and ordinary Western restaurants also play some wonderful and elegant music.

However, the most important thing here is the "audibleness" of the music, that is, the sound must reach the "level that seems to be heard but not heard", that is, you must concentrate on talking to friends and not hear it, and you can hear it while resting and relaxing. This temperature must be mastered well.

"Touching the od" (atmosphere): Eating Western food requires the elegant environment and harmonious atmosphere.

&nbWestern food partners are best friends or people with similar interests. Eating Western food is mainly to connect with each other, and it is best not to talk about business on the Western food table. Therefore, in Western restaurants, the atmosphere is generally very warm, and there are few scenes of blushing and redness.

"manner" (etiquette): This refers to "eating appearance" and "eating attitude". Since eating Western food, you should follow Western customs and do not act abruptly, especially when holding a knife and fork, if you dance, you will "lose your composure".

"meal" (food): Chinese food takes "taste" as the core, while Western food takes nutrition as the core. As for the taste, it cannot be compared with Chinese food.

Sometimes, people are often influenced by their own thinking patterns and have prejudice against other cultures, but after understanding them, they will feel ashamed of their shallowness.

Western food is not about pretending, but an elegant attitude towards life, just like Chinese food, integrating into the five thousand years of history and culture of China and having enough sedimentation.

…………

Three days later, Dukass began to teach Xiao Feng to make various Western-style meals. This time he tried all his skills, hoping that Xiao Feng could master certain rules in a short period of time and make some progress in the future!

Speaking of which, Dukass has also accepted many students and has trained chefs in his hotels, but he has never met a student like Xiao Feng.

First of all, Xiao Feng has a deep foundation in Chinese food, and his knife skills and temperature are far beyond the level of ordinary Western chefs, which makes Dukass less trouble.

After all, it is always easier to get started with a student who doesn’t need to start from scratch.

Because of practicing the "Qi Guizhi", Xiao Feng has a very good physical fitness, and his personal control over strength is extremely subtle, so his knife skills are naturally not bad.

Whether it is carving or other knife skills, every food can radiate an intoxicating light under Xiao Feng's hands, which is amazing.

Because of learning photography, Xiao Feng has a deep understanding of composition, lines, colors, etc., and the arrangement of each dish has a good beauty.

In Dukasse's opinion, Xiao Feng had no other words, just this placing plate has already reached the master level, so he didn't have to worry about this aspect.

After careful calculation, Dukasse suddenly found that he didn't need to teach, but it was just the core content of teaching Xiao Feng's Western food. In many technical places, Xiao Feng can fully develop it on his own and further improve it!

In addition to the above highlights, Dukasse discovered that Xiao Feng's true talent lies in his tongue, which can very keenly distinguish the nuances of each ingredient and dish. This is a talent that is hard to come by.

It can be foreseen that once Xiao Feng becomes familiar with the production of various Western-style meals, his Western-style food level will be improved step by step and he will eventually become a true Western-style food master!

Xiao Feng's rapid progress made Dukasse both happy and disappointed. Sometimes meeting genius students is not such a beautiful thing. At least the sense of accomplishment as a teacher will be much less! (To be continued...)u
