Sesame Green Bean Garlic

They dumped their luggage in the hotel, intending to have lunch, but now it's been four hours and they're still hanging out.Um no, they are sitting in the dining room again!

This Chinese restaurant is opened in a casino, and the decoration is extravagant. Huge crystal lamps, Suzhou embroidery, goldfish walls, and copper pendant curtains occupy a huge space. The texture is very good, not too cheap.

Seeing the situation, Dr. Qiao smiled and said, "It's like a stage here. Are there any opera singers?"

"Yes, I will ask Zian to sing "The Drunken Concubine" for you after eating," Qiu Xinzhi went on to explain: "If restaurants in Beijing pretend to be like this, there are nine out of ten it will not taste good, but Macau is different. Money, the competition in the casino is fierce, the ingredients are good, and the top restaurants are much higher than those in Beijing and Shanghai.”

Qiao Yilian drank Pu'er tea indifferently, whether it was delicious or not, he just wanted to finish eating quickly and go back to the hotel.

Huo Zian was also familiar with the menu here, so he casually ordered seven or eight dim sum.The front desk manager recognized him, came over to exchange some pleasantries, and gave them a pot of frozen oolong and dessert.

Qiu Xinzhi noticed that Huo Zian had nothing else to do in Macau, and he used these restaurants as his own cafeteria. "You have a really good time here, you haven't done anything serious. Hey, the results will be announced tomorrow, how sure are you?" They came here for the selection of "Asia's 100 Best Restaurants", and they didn't really come to travel of.

"I'm not sure at all. The thousands of judges are all experts, each with their own hobbies and tastes, and various relationships. It's possible for anyone to be selected. It's just the people in the industry playing by themselves, so it doesn't matter what the result is."

"Don't pretend to be noble, it doesn't matter if you come here?"

Huo Zian said with a smile: "I'm here to work with Liang Chen, and it's not bad to have an extra title, it can attract more business. Have you heard any news in the circle?"

"It's just a cliché. Someone is optimistic about you, and someone is optimistic about Zeng Da. The chances of you two are half and half."

Zeng Da... Huo Zian scratched the name in his mind.This "Asia 100" selection was launched five years ago. The consumption power of the Asian market is soaring, and Michelin's expansion in Asia is very conservative. A consortium that started out as a packaged food company took a fancy to this gap and made this selection. Want to be the "Michelin star" of Asia.Because the consortium is rich and powerful, each selection ceremony is done with great fanfare. This year, all the major media in Asia have been invited.

Huo Zian didn't have a fixed restaurant, so he didn't have anything to do with him, but this year, the "Asia's Emerging Chef" selection was newly established, which was the award that the media paid the most attention to this time.The establishment of this award is probably because although the Asian market is good, half of the high-end restaurants are still played by Western celebrity chefs, especially in China.The consortium wanted to take this opportunity to promote celebrity chefs with oriental faces to increase their influence.

In this selection, most people thought it was a dispute between Huo Zian and Zeng Keda.Huo Zian said it lightly, but it's not that he doesn't have the desire to win in his heart. The main reason is because of Zeng Keda.Rather than saying that he wanted to win this award, it was better to say that he wanted to know who the experts recognized more between him and Zeng Keda.

"Have you met Zeng Da?" Huo Zian asked.

"I ate at his restaurant once and met him. Many years ago, I went to Singapore to participate in an event. At that time, Michelin hadn't entered Singapore yet, but Sapphire was already difficult to book. I only made an appointment two months in advance. For dinner, after getting three stars, this restaurant has almost become their national treasure, and it is extremely difficult to book. Zeng Da is too lazy, and rarely goes out to socialize...well, especially after that incident."

Huo Zi'an was silent.

The dim sum arrived, each of which was exquisite and exquisite, but it also filled the table.Huo Zian greeted Dr. Qiao, "Eat it while it's hot, this abalone cake is very well made."

Qiao Yilian took a bite, and the meringue shattered in his mouth. It was light and crispy, intertwined with the flexibility of the abalone and the sweetness of the chicken, and the delicious taste hit his head.Huo Zian saw that he was a little dazed after eating, and joked: "It's delicious, doctor, it takes a very large watt electrode to have such an effect."

Qiao Yilian: "Chef, the higher the power of the electrode, the deeper the feeling, and if it doesn't work, you can use MRI pulses to stimulate the brain area, not to mention eating snacks here, it's like simulating the feeling of a whale eating raw fish on the bottom of the sea , as long as there are sufficient conditions, it can be done.”

Huo Zian was speechless again.I imagined myself turning into a whale, and felt incredible, so I couldn't hold back my curiosity and asked Dr. Qiao: "Is it true that I become a whale?"

Qiu Xinzhi laughed loudly: "Every tech geek fantasizes that he can make the earth spin backwards by sitting there. Listen to him fooling around."

Qiao Yilian also smiled and said, "Whales are not allowed at the moment, but fruit flies are allowed. Do you want to try it? I can arrange a laboratory for you."

Huo Zian didn't want to become a fruit fly, and once again felt that he and Dr. Qiao were not in the same dimension.But Dr. Qiao continued: "The dim sum here is delicious, thanks to the chef."

Although Qiao Yilian said it was delicious, he only ate two bites, and Huo Zian and Qiu Xinzhi divided up the rest.Fresh springy shrimp dumplings, puff pastry made with Japanese Wagyu beef, and sweet and sour yuzu jelly. They also ordered a roast suckling pig. Run.

Qiu Xinzhi felt very satisfied, like a cat basking in the sun, and wanted to sleep against Qiao Yilian.The two got up early to take the plane, and now they are tired, so they are going to check out and go back to the hotel.

At this time, two men approached their table and asked, "Is this Chef Huo Zian?"

Huo Zian nodded: "Who are you two?"

The person who asked the question spoke a mouthful of Hong Kong-style Mandarin, but spoke quickly. He introduced his surname as Su, and he was in the catering business in Hong Kong.Huo Zian has heard of the five or six restaurants he mentioned, and they are quite famous among high-end restaurants.Zi An thought to himself, so these restaurants are all his, so this person's financial resources should not be underestimated.

The man surnamed Su looks fair and clean. If the proportion of the whole person is increased by one-third, he must be a beautiful man with bright eyes and white teeth. Now the whole person seems to be fermented, round and round, ugly but not ugly, just a little bit funny face.He flattered Huo Zian for a round, and then warmly invited him to dinner.

"There is a restaurant here. The chef only cooks one table a night. I hope you can have a meal with me."

His tone was very humble, and Huo Zian was very curious about what he wanted to do, but it took him a long time to meet Qiu Xinzhi, and he only had two or three days in Macau, so he didn't want to give his time to strangers.He was about to refuse, but he heard Qiu Xinzhi happily say, okay, the restaurant Boss Su is looking for must be tried, and we will go there in a while.

Boss Su was satisfied, shook hands and left.

Qiao Yilian looked surprised: "Do you still want to eat?"

Qiu Xinzhi: "It's not about eating, it's about socializing." Qiao Yilian thought to himself, this man surnamed Su seems to be a big sponsor, and it's inconvenient for him to follow them, so he said, "Then I'll go back first. "

After Qiao Yilian left, Huo Zian raised his eyebrows at Qiu Xinzhi: "Does the chief editor also want to attract venture capital?"

"Tsk, you're not so closed-minded, are you? You don't know the Su family. They made the Asia 100. I don't know if this person is the second or third child of their family. A quarter of the high-end restaurants in Hong Kong Island and Macau have their family." shares."

Huo Zian had vaguely heard about this background, and he remembered what Qiu Xinzhi said. "Oh, what did he want me for?"

"Anyway, you won't lose your skin after eating a meal, so you can go out to socialize. The Oscar depends on public relations. Take this opportunity and work hard. Tomorrow's award will be yours."

Huo Zian smiled and shook his head.He was not very interested in this selection, but after he left Beijing for so many years, Qiu Xinzhi was still planning for his future, and he was quite moved by his concern. "Hey, then you don't have to accompany me, let Dr. Qiao stay by himself."

Qiu Xinzhi didn't care: "Yi Lian is not a child anymore, and he likes to be alone. He always said that he is at ease by himself, and it would be troublesome to be with anyone."

Huo Zian sighed again: "How did you two get together?"

"Look at mung beans, bastard."

Huo Zian smiled: "If you can't eat together, then he must be very good in bed."

"Yo, Huo Zian, the older you get, the more wretched you are... Needless to say, on the bed! But the two of them don't watch all of this together. Besides, if the two people's thoughts, habits, and backgrounds are too similar, it won't be interesting."

"That's right, Dr. Qiao's perspective on things is different from that of ordinary people."

Qiu Xinzhi lowered his tone: "Do you think Yi Lian is difficult to get along with?"

"No," Huo Zian stopped joking, "Dr. Qiao is pretty good, much easier to get along with than you."

"Damn!" Upon hearing this, Qiu Xinzhi refused to accept it: "I am so cute and good at dancing, I am not as good as a science man who eats boiled vegetables."

"You just think too much, and your mind is twisted and twisted." Huo Zian poured him a cup of tea, "Dr. Qiao is simpler than you, not because he is simple-minded, but because he understands what he wants, Don't worry about anything, your mind is clear, and you won't think about so many external things."

Qiu Xinzhi takes this evaluation seriously. Due to his personality and working environment, he often worries about the balance of the relationship between all parties, and habitually seizes various opportunities to develop relationships. People like Yilian and Youliangchen are attracted.He smiled wryly: "That's true. Well, being yourself is a talent, and you can't learn it."

Huo Zian smiled and said: "It's good that you are like this. Knowing how to be a human being is another kind of talent, and you can't learn it."

"Damn, that doesn't sound like a good word."

"Haha, sincerely, you and Dr. Qiao are a match made in heaven, you should cherish it. ——Hey Lao Qiu, the sesame ice cream here is very good, shall we eat it?"

"It must be eaten! What desserts are there..."

The two ate another round.
