Chapter 55 (Part 2)
It was delicious, it was so delicious. Crowel praised the fat chicken in his heart and was a little proud of it. If the translator who was accompanying him could not stand it and pulled his sleeve to remind him, I guess the whole plate of chicken would have been wiped out by him without leaving any left.
After eating chicken, the fish came up.
The tender white fish meat, green green bamboo shoots, and bright red carrot slices. This is a very light and slippery fish fillet.
Faced with this extremely attractive dish with color combinations, Crower slowed down his meals.
After eating the previous dish, I needed to drink a little refreshing light tea to neutralize it so that the taste of the previous dish will not continue to remain in my mouth. This was what an old man told him when Crower was studying in China. Now he is doing this!
In fact, state banquets should be mainly talk and meals are supplemented. Because when eating, people's brain nerves are generally at the most relaxed moment, and the atmosphere at the dinner table can easily increase the level of friendship between people. Therefore, many diplomatic affairs between countries are negotiated at the dinner table. But today, it is just a bit the opposite. From the beginning of the meal, Crower has not said more than ten words, and the rest of the time is desperately trying to stuff things into his almost invisible mouth, which makes other members of the US delegation embarrassed.

The Chairman, Prime Minister, Minister and I smiled at each other, and this is the effect we want.
Crower is from Texas, the United States, and has loved drinking milk since he was a child. This habit has not changed until now. This dish of Shanghai Pudong Jiujin Yellow Chicken steamed with a Yunnan-style steamer flavor was specially prepared for him.
Soon, Crower returned to his state, and perhaps he realized his disobedience just now. He picked up the napkin in front of him and wiped the corner of his mouth. He looked at the chairman who was smiling and said, "I'm sorry, my movements are a bit too big."
"Haha! It seems that Mr. Special Envoy likes this dish very much?" the minister smiled.
"Yes! This is a taste I have never tasted before." Crowel said in a deep voice: "I like it very much. Chinese cuisine is really delicious, so delicious that it makes people say nothing." As soon as this said, everyone around him laughed.
"It's good if Mr. Crower is satisfied." The Chairman smiled and turned his body to his side: "There is a Chinese saying: 'Be sincere to treat the guests and do not deceive them', which means to satisfy the guests as much as possible. As long as everyone is satisfied, everything will be easy to say. Isn't it? Mr. Special Envoy?"
"Yes! Yes! You are right." Crowel quickly replied: "I knew the hospitality of Chinese people a long time ago. Today I experienced it again. Haha! I believe that the talks between us should be very successful."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the state banquet hall completely relaxed. Other dishes were served at this time. So Crowl began to enjoy this rare meal with confidence and boldness.
The more I ate it, the more surprised he felt. Four dishes, one more exquisite and one more delicious. Why do these ordinary chickens, fish, radish and cucumbers completely change their appearance and taste in the hands of Chinese people? The essence of them has been brought to the extreme. The best meal I had eaten in China before is simply a garbage that is difficult to swallow compared to this. I really don’t know why I ate so delicious before.
It's delicious! What should I do if I can't eat such delicious food again? Crowel thought funnyly.
The soup is here.
This is a very full pot of soup, with a layer of yellow objects floating on the surface. A fresh fragrance of flowers spreads out in it.
Crower is so familiar with this taste. Yes, this is his favorite soup and the most delicious soup he thinks in the world.
In restaurants on the streets of Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, etc., you can see this scene: some sticky liquid is boiling in a hot pot. A waiter in a red-clothed head with a straight hat skillfully pressed a venomous snake with a twisted body, pressed the snake's mouth with a clean spoon, and stuffed it into the middle of the upper and lower venomous fangs. Snakes eat by swallowing. Once their sharp teeth bite something, they will instinctively spray the venom out of the small hole at the top of the venomous fangs through the squeezing of the venomous glands. Although not many, only two drops, as long as it enters the blood of humans or animals, it will immediately cause nerve disorders and death. However, as long as the snake venom does not enter the wound, you will have no problem drinking it. So, under the stimulation of the spoon, two drops of crystal liquid flow down the snake's teeth into the steam-wrapped pot.
As the snake venom fell, the waiter in red quickly sprinkled the fresh ju petals that had been prepared on his hand into the pot. Suddenly, a rich fragrance of flowers wafted out of the broth that had been boiled for a long time.
This is the famous dish that is popular in South Asia: "Violen Snake Ju Flower Bird's Nest and Lotus Seed Soup".
Crowel had tasted this soup, but he tasted this delicious soup when he was sent to the local government as a consultant in the Philippines as a US government, which left him a very beautiful impression. At the beginning, he did not dare to touch this terrifying soup at all. And according to the locals, the main ingredient for making this soup was snake venom. The more venomous snake saliva flowing out of the soup would taste delicious when boiled. Until one time at a Philippine presidential banquet, he could not erase the owner's face. He reluctantly tried it, but it turned out to be out of control. From then on, Crowel fell in love with this soup. There was a time when he thought that "Venic Snake Ju Flower Bird's Nest and Lotus Seed Soup" was the most delicious thing in the world.
The high-quality Guerre Bird's Nest native to Thailand, especially cultivates thick petals, white and plump lotus seeds, and a highly toxic cobra, which form the pot of soup in front of us.
As soon as the waiter had divided the soup, Crower took a sip in a hurry.
Huh! I have been forgetting this taste for many years. There is the unforgettable taste of tropical countries, the memories I cannot forget there, and the things I did when I was young are all in this soup. What a delicious soup, an unforgettable soup.
Clauer let out a long sigh, looked at the thick soup basin on the table affectionately and nodded slightly. The meal was really enjoyable. The Chinese are really a nation that understands food culture very well.
We saw all his performance and smiled knowingly between each other.
