Chapter 55 (Part 1)

On June 11, Crower's special plane arrived at Jingxi Airport.

When the assistant opened the cabin door of the Boeing 757, Clauer was stunned.

The gorgeous flowers decorate the airport into a colorful ocean, and the bright red carpets were paved beyond the norm until the airport intersection. The neat and solemn guard of honor stood on both sides. All of this was a scale that only the head of state would use to welcome the head of state!

Although the position of Secretary of State is not small, his words and deeds can completely represent a country. However, after all, it is just a senior leader of a country and is not qualified to be a leader. China should know this clearly.

"The Chinese government seems to attach great importance to my visit." Crower thought with pleasure. It seemed that his mission should be completed.

There are three people who are welcomed. The Chairman, the Prime Minister, and the Minister

"My God, dear Wang, why are you here?" Seeing this leader of 1.3 billion Chinese people come to greet him personally, Crowel suddenly felt extremely radiant on his face.

"Haha! Mr. Crower is our old friend. There is an old Chinese saying: 'It's a pleasure to have friends from afar.' The United States and China are thousands of miles apart, and Mr. Secretary of State can come to visit thousands of miles apart. What other reason can I not come to welcome you?" The Chairman's welcome speech was extremely contagious and humane, and he deserved to be an old fox in the political arena for many years.

"I'm glad you can say that, it seems that my trip to China should be very fulfilling. And you, dear Tang. Since you parted at the UN Security Council that year, you have become more and more charming." Crower's Chinese is very standard.

"Haha! Thank you for your praise, please! Mr. Claule." The beautiful female prime minister smiled and owed, giving way.

Within a short distance of hundreds of meters from the airport to the exit, Clauer was surprised to find that the Chinese had arranged thousands of armed security personnel. Looking at these soldiers with live ammunition and guards surrounded by guards, he suddenly had a very gratifying idea: the sincerity of the Chinese to themselves is obvious, which is very touching.

The welcome ceremony is held at the level of the head of state.

Only the head of state can take the pick-up vehicle.

The rest room is only eligible for the head of state.

Everything is arranged according to the highest specifications.

All of this is to show our sincerity.

At 7 p.m., the Great Hall of the People, the State Banquet Hall.

Under the flags of China and the United States, three groups of fifteen beautiful round tables of rosewood are arranged in a compact manner in the shape of plum blossoms. In the center, a round table slightly larger than other tabletops is placed there conspicuously.

In the eyes of many people, state banquets are mysterious.

Some people say that state banquets are for the highest leaders of the country, so all kinds of dishes and styles are gorgeous.

Some people say that state banquets are specially used to entertain foreign heads of state, so the specifications are very high and they must reflect the highest level of Chinese dishes, so the various ingredients used are the best.

Some people also say that a state banquet is the most luxurious banquet in a country, so it will be eaten for three days and three nights, just like a Manchu and Han banquet, all over the world, and the chef will make it as long as you can think of the dishes.

In fact, state banquets are very simple. According to some chefs who once participated in the production of state banquets in the Great Hall of the People: "The state banquets are not mysterious, they are just high in specifications and high in etiquette."

What is a state banquet? It is a formal banquet held by the head of state or government to entertain state guests, other guests or to entertain people from all walks of life on important festivals.

State banquets are very serious, but in fact they are just a display of food culture and folk customs. Different countries and ethnic cultural backgrounds are different, and the dietary customs are very different. Therefore, state banquets in different countries also vary from place to country to ethnic group and are colorful. Some countries and regions pay great attention to entertaining guests with ethnic characteristics. French cuisine is the most famous of Western countries, and "Paris steak fried shredded potatoes" is also known as the national dish of this food country, and it is served on the state banquet table every time. Ethiopia's state banquets are mostly raw beef feasts. Raw beef is very tender, and bloody beef is the most popular. State banquets in African countries have local characteristics. African roast camels are a national dish. Mexicans use corn as their staple food, and their state banquets are also a plate of corn delicacies. The most popular dish in Arab state banquets is roasted whole lamb.

The recipes formulated by Chinese state banquets are generally light and meat-vegetarian. They are basically fixed in four dishes and one soup. This is the standard set by Premier Zhou back then and continues to this day. The dishes of state banquets bring together local cuisines from all over the country. Nowadays, state banquets are generally arranged according to the different tastes of Chinese and foreign guests, as well as the records of banquets in recent days. When ordering recipes, you should understand the living habits and taboos, taste preferences, age, and physical condition of Chinese and foreign guests as much as possible. Another thing is to understand the scale of the banquet, taking into account factors such as season, climate, food raw materials, and nutrition. Light summer, and meat-based in winter.

For Crower, we certainly customized special dishes.

A chicken, a fish, a plate of cucumber, a night of radish, and a pot of soup. This is all the dishes at today's banquet.

The Chinese banquet standards are very clear about the Chinese Secretary of State, who specializes in Chinese issues. It is not extravagant, but it is also precious. The recipes and ingredients of each dish are very exquisite, and there are special allusions. Many diplomats working in China always praise Chinese cuisine. When studying at Tsinghua University in the early years, Craul personally experienced some famous Chinese snacks and famous delicacies, and left a deep impression on her. I just don’t know what kind of delicious dishes these Chinese people will use to entertain themselves today.

The dishes are started.

A round, green-bottomed white porcelain plate filled with a complete steamed chicken. This is the first dish tonight.

When the lid of the serving plate was opened, a unique smell of steam mixed with a strong butter fragrance came to my face. Crowel couldn't help but get excited when he didn't smell it. He absent-mindedly spoke to the host, and quickly picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Fragrant, tender, and refreshing. This is what Crower in the feast gives this chicken that tastes so wonderful.

The chicken is very tender, but it can't be more tender. Americans claim to be the country that eats the most chicken every day in the world, and fried chicken legs are also food that Crower likes very much. However, compared with the tender chicken today, what I ate before was definitely wood residue because they were too old.

Besides, the smell of fried chicken is fragrant enough, right? But compared with this chicken, it is simply a slurry smell. Steaming can maintain the original taste of the food, and it can also completely wrap the most essential aroma in the food in the steamer. This chicken contains the most perfect original smell. By the way, butter and butter. This aroma and cream flavor are really a wonderful combination!

The chicken is cut in pieces. The chef has good knife skills. The cut pieces are even in size and are only about 1 cm thick. The chopsticks on Crower's hand are more flexible than anyone on the table. A plate of chicken was beaten by him twice, like a wind blowing the clouds. In a short while, he wiped out one-third of them.
