Chapter 604 Magic

"Everyone is here so early." Luo Quan said to the fans surrounding him as he opened the door.

"I've been waiting here for more than half an hour!" said a chubby boy, holding a cup of cold hot coffee in his hand.

"I can't wait to eat your cooking!" Another fan said, rubbing his hands with excitement on his face.

Although it is still very early, only eight o'clock, there are already more than three to four hundred customers and fans gathered outside the restaurant.

Given Luoquan's reputation, no matter what store is opened, business will be overwhelming on the first day.

What's more, it's a restaurant where she personally cooks and serves customers.

Eating a dish made by Luo Quan is a completely different experience than buying a photo or album of hers, and it is definitely more realistic.

The door lock was opened, but Luo Quan did not open the two doors immediately, but said to the fans:

"Due to the limited store size and limited manpower, the store can only make reservations through the "Luoquan APP" on your mobile phone. Please register."

The app Luo Quan was talking about was actually a personal app she had always wanted to build, to provide a community for her fans around the world to communicate.

But because I was busy making movies, I never did this.

However, as the store was to be opened in the next few days, Luo Quan asked Li Jiang to arrange for someone to design an app for making reservations and ordering food. Other chat functions would be added later.

The fan opened his mobile phone and downloaded the software with the word "Luo" as its icon. After registering, he entered the reservation and ordering interface and found that the dishes here were a bit expensive, generally costing two to three hundred dollars a piece.

This price made quite a few fans scratch their heads and complained in a low voice: "This is a bit expensive."

But then I thought about it, for a celebrity of Luo Quan's level personally cooks for everyone, so the higher price is actually very reasonable.

If it were Leon cooking for female fans here, no female fans would complain if a dish sold for five hundred dollars, and there would definitely be many people chasing after them to place orders.

It can only be said that men are still more rational than women when it comes to consumption. Women who cannot get it will still be hesitant to spend more money.

Of course, if the service becomes Luo Quan personally feeding the fans dishes, then there will be no hesitation, and customers who place orders can line up from here all the way to Washington, D.C.!

As for Luo Quan, it was actually a helpless move.

In fact, Chinese cuisine is generally not expensive. Except for some palace dishes that have precious ingredients and take a long time, the rest are only 40 to 50 yuan a plate.

But after all, she is known as a chef and is an international star. Charging three hundred dollars for a dish is not too much, right?

After all, this is the United States, with a per capita monthly income of 3,500 US dollars, while the per capita monthly income in China is around 3,400, which is actually about the same.

It's just that the exchange rate is different, so the purchasing power of the same amount will appear different.

But in the eyes of Americans, there is not much difference between a dish costing 300 US dollars and a dish costing 300 RMB in China.

It is definitely a bit expensive. For people at the bottom of society, one meal is basically equivalent to less than half a month’s living expenses.

However, it is impossible for Luo Quan to set the price at the level of fast food that is affordable to the people, such as more than ten dollars, otherwise she will be busy from morning to night and will not have time to rest.

"Fans, the restaurant prices are indeed a bit expensive, but this time I opened the restaurant mainly to film a variety show, and I have no long-term plans to open it, so everyone will do what they can.

In addition, I will provide some free breakfast and coffee to fans outside later, which are also cooked by me. "

Luo Quan saw that the fans were a little depressed, so he comforted them.

Hearing this, the fans immediately smiled again. Originally, everyone came here to join in the fun, but now they can eat Luo Quan's cooking for free, of course they are very happy.

As for going to the store to eat, it’s not that I can’t afford it, it’s just that I can’t bear the money.

Of course, there are always those who can afford or are willing to pay this price. Soon, Luoquan Restaurant welcomed its first batch of customers.

More than a dozen fans successfully made reservations and walked into the store. When ordering food, they did not blindly order on their mobile phones, but first looked at the menu provided by the waiter.

The dishes on the menu are divided into three types, spicy, sweet, and light. The translation is not like Huaxia Xindaya, and the translation is completely based on the type of ingredients and taste characteristics.

For example, the fish-flavored shredded pork is sour and sweet shredded pork, and there is no word fish on it.

If a diner orders this dish in search of fish, but finds out that there is no fish at all, it would be too far to accuse you of being dishonest.

In addition, each dish is divided into Chinese and American styles, not just one type.

Despite the vast and profound Chinese food culture and the long history of the eight major cuisines, in fact, they are not as influential around the world as Chinese people imagine.

In the United States, Chinese food is indeed very popular. For example, a Chinese restaurant called Panda Express has opened all over the United States, and its business is quite prosperous.

But the Chinese food in Panda Express Restaurant has been modified according to local tastes. When Chinese people go to eat it, they probably only have one thought, and that is: Does this shit deserve to be called Chinese food?

Americans have very strong tastes, either ridiculously salty or ridiculously sweet. There are thousands of Chinese dishes. It is estimated that only sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour carp can become popular in the United States without much improvement.

As for the others, it will definitely be delicious, but it will probably be very difficult to become a hit.

Therefore, Luo Quan made it clear on the first page of the recipe that authentic Chinese food tastes very different from American Chinese food, and reminded diners to choose carefully.

Of course, for fans, it doesn’t really matter whether Chinese food is authentic or not. They mainly come to eat Luo Quan’s dishes.

Under the recommendation of the trained waiter, they ordered sweet and sour Chinese food such as sweet and sour pork and Kung Pao chicken, which are considered to be one of the most famous Chinese food in the world.

After placing the order, the kitchen quickly started working.

Zhou Zirong and three other kitchen assistants immediately started washing vegetables and cutting meat, while Luo Quan completed the more technical tasks of making sauce and spooning.

This step is where the most heat is seen, and basically all the steps for a dish are here.

The cooking steps of Western food are accurate to units such as grams, minutes and seconds. The amount of seasonings and stir-frying time of Chinese food completely depend on the experience and feeling of the chef.

It takes trial and error and summarizing one dish at a time to truly find the most suitable and delicious one.

Of course, with Luo Quan's level, he has already passed this stage.

In the words of the ancients, her current state is that delicacies are made by nature and come by chance with a skillful hand.

One by one, the fragrant dishes come out of the kitchen. Because they are all home-cooked dishes, the dishes are prepared very quickly. Each of the eight dishes takes no more than three minutes on average.

Soon, a magical scene appeared.

After eating Luo Quan's dishes, fans felt a kind of happiness spreading from the tip of their tongues to their whole body with just one bite.

This is when the taste is greatly satisfied, stimulating the body to secrete dopamine.

Such a fulfilling pleasure is much stronger than eating any fried junk food, and people can't help but want to shout "It's so good".

"God, is it really so delicious?" Outside the restaurant, fans saw a customer near the door looking up intoxicated after eating a piece of sweet and sour pork, as if his whole body was about to float.

It feels a bit too exaggerated, but that expression of satisfaction and joy cannot be faked.

At this time, the aroma of sweet and sour pork also wafted out with the flow of air.

At this moment, the fans outside the door suddenly understood. Just by smelling the aroma, they knew how delicious the food was. Their saliva kept secreting, but they could only swallow their saliva.

About ten minutes later, a new customer came to the restaurant.

Although he was a fan of Luo Quan, he also had a photographer who happened to bump into Luo Quan's photography team.

"I am a food blogger on YouTube and a fan of Luo Quan. In addition to chasing stars this time, I also want to live broadcast for my fans." Ryerson explained the situation to the restaurant foreman, ensuring that other diners would not be affected. case, permission to enter was obtained.

"Fans, today we came to the Chinese restaurant in Luoquan." Ryerson sat in a relatively remote location where he would not disturb others.

"Don't you all know about Luo Quan?"

In the live broadcast room with more than 5,000 viewers, there was not a single "no" in sight.

Ryerson smiled: "Haha, I shouldn't ask this question. I heard before that she opened a Chinese restaurant, and it officially opened today. I will take everyone to see what this restaurant is like.

As a food blogger, everyone has eaten French, Italian, Turkish, Chinese and Japanese food with me, so it’s not too much to say that I’m half a gourmet, right? "

"It's all for you, okay, we're just watching."

"Chinese food is just like that, not as good as Korean Smecta."

“Our Indian food is really delicious, clean and hygienic.”

"Really? I feel like I can smell a stench just by looking at those dishes."

"Who in the world doesn't know the name of Japanese food? The delicious food depends on our Japanese food gods."

………………

As a blogger with tens of millions of fans, Ryerson’s fans are quite diverse and can be found in various countries. Moreover, when such topics are discussed, there will always be fierce quarrels.

However, Ryerson didn't say anything to stop it, because this was also his traffic password. If it wasn't so noisy, where would the heat come from?

"Waiter, can you tell me what yours is?" Ryerson called the only waitress, Cindy, and asked about the gold-plated plaque hanging at the entrance.

"That's the sign of the God of Cooking." Cindy explained with a smile: "A while ago, Chef Luo Quan participated in a Master of Cooking competition organized by the Chinese government and won first place. The title of God of Cooking is equivalent to the title of Chef. Recognition of art.”

"The God of Cooking, he should be on the same level as the Japanese Culinary Master." Ryerson said thoughtfully.

He has eaten at the Sennin chain store in Japan, and he can only say that it is okay, but compared to those small shops in nooks and crannies, it is still a bit worse.

Cindy, on the other hand, had no idea about the level of her boss's cooking skills, so she just introduced him based on what she knew.

"Can you tell me what your signature dishes or the best dishes are?" Ryerson started the highlight of the day.

Cindy turned to the last page of the menu. There were many signature dishes in the store:

Among them is the best flavor in the world - Buddha Jumps Over the Wall

The royal delicacy - boiled cabbage

The No. 1 dish in the MasterChef Competition - Real Snapper Jiangshan Picture

The world's best sashimi - Liebing fresh sea bream

The magical bun that makes laughter - Golden Smile

Pork dancing on the flames - stir-fried twice-cooked pork

Black and white Chinese national treasure - Magic Panda Tofu

……………………

Each one of them hit the charts for the second time, with dish names that were ranked number one in China and the world at every turn, which made Ryerson and the fans in his live broadcast room dumbfounded.

Although Americans advocate individual heroism and like to have a more crazy personality, Luo Quan's recipe is a bit too crazy.

Especially that Buddha Jumping Over the Wall, who dared to be called the best in the world. Even if he is as arrogant as the Universe Kingdom, he has never called him such a name.

"Can you tell me what's going on with this Buddha Jumping Over the Wall? Why do you dare to call it the best dish in the world?" Ryerson asked curiously, looking at this dish priced at 100,000 US dollars.

“This is our chef’s special skill. If you want to eat it, you need to make a reservation three days in advance, because the cooking time of this dish is three days, which is very labor-intensive.

However, our chef said that the delicious taste of this dish cannot be compared with other dishes, and this should be mentioned. "

"Is there such a thing?" Ryerson was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately remembered it.

Some time ago, I seemed to have specially posted a tweet to praise a dish at the state banquet, saying that it was simply the most beautiful taste in the world.

But at the time, everyone thought it was a polite comment and didn't take it seriously.

It turns out that the dish that was so praised was made by Luo Quan.

However, the price is too expensive, costing a full 100,000 US dollars. Although he has made a lot of money through live broadcasts and making videos, forget it if he spends 100,000 US dollars on a dish. He is not that luxurious yet. .

"Fans, this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is too expensive. I really can't afford it. Let's look at other dishes." Ryerson apologized to the fans in the live broadcast room and turned his attention to other dishes.

"Let's have a golden smile. I want to see what this laughing bun looks like.

In addition, let’s have stir-fried twice-cooked pork, I like spicy food. "

These two dishes cost five hundred dollars each, which is relatively expensive. Ordering two dishes for one thousand dollars is already quite luxurious.

But he can still afford it at this price.

At the same time, the fans in Ryerson's live broadcast room were already noisy.

If not for anything else, just for this crazy recipe.

Some viewers complained about Luo Quan's arrogance, while some viewers were Luo Quan's fans and thought there was no problem with such a name.

The two groups are on opposite sides, and the quarrel will probably continue like this until they see the dishes.

Ryerson looked at the barrage and said: I will give everyone a fair evaluation after the food is served.
