Logically speaking, given Albert's status in the United States, he would have seen all kinds of food.
However, it was difficult for the four Warner brothers to start their own business back then, and they were frugal and frugal.
Although they are a truly wealthy generation, their living habits are extremely frugal.
Therefore, I eat simply every day.
Just a sandwich or a burger or something.
At this time, Chinese workers in the United States had almost no status.
Chinese cuisine is naturally not very elegant in the eyes of Americans.
If Albert hadn't arrived in China and been treated to two pure Chinese meals by Yu Sheng and Zhang Shankun, he would never have felt this way.
Yu Sheng smiled and said: "Dear Albert, I know that the United States has the famous Yellow Peril theory and the Chinese Exclusion Act that disgusts the Chinese.
However, no matter what others say, China's five thousand years of cultural accumulation is not useless.
You think these dishes are delicious, but in fact they are just home-cooked dishes.”
"Chinese food is far more than the dishes you have eaten and the fried chicken steak you had last time.
Chinese food not only has eight major cuisines, but also has a Manchu-Han banquet.
The beauty of a chef's cooking lies in his heart and is ever-changing.
In the end, Chinese food How many different dishes there are, no one can give a specific number until now.”
Albert's eyes were filled with greed, and he asked Yu Sheng: "Dear Yu, can you cook a full banquet of eight major cuisines?"
"That's right, there are eight major cuisines, namely Shandong cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Anhui cuisine.
There are no specific statistics on how many dishes there are.
The basic cooking techniques include stir-frying, stir-frying, stir-frying, Fried, boiled, pan-fried, fried, roasted, simmered, stewed, steamed, boiled, stewed, boiled, There are dozens of ways to pickle, mix, bake, braise, freeze, carve, honey, smoke, roll, etc.
Moreover, China has a vast land and abundant resources, and there are countless types of ingredients, and some dishes require the use of a variety of cooking techniques.
Calculate, according to mathematical statistical formulas, how many kinds of dishes should there be?"
Albert listened with fascination.
"As for the Manchu-Han banquet, it is a palace feast handed down from the Qing Dynasty.
It combines the taste of Chinese cuisine.
There are fifty-four southern dishes, thirty Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes, twelve Fujian dishes, twelve Cantonese dishes; and fifty-four northern dishes.
Twelve Manchu dishes, twelve Beijing dishes, and thirty Shandong dishes, a total of 108 dishes, need to be eaten in three days."
"In addition, before taking the table, two pairs of incense sticks, tea and hand dishes are served; there are four fresh fruits, four dried fruits, four fruits and four candied fruits on the table; after taking the table, cold dishes are served first, then hot stir-fried vegetables, large dishes, and beets are served in sequence Table.
There are one hundred and ninety-six items of hot, cold and meat dishes at the table.
There are 124 items of tea and food, and 320 items of delicacies are included.
A complete set of pastel Wanshou tableware is equipped with silverware.
It is rich and gorgeous, elegant and solemn.
During the banquet, a famous teacher is invited to play ancient music to accompany the banquet, following the elegant tradition.
Inheriting traditional virtues is the essence of Chinese cultural paper.”
Albert swallowed hard when he heard it.
He ate a huge roast duck with his saliva.
But he heard Yu Sheng pour cold water on him: "But, dear Albert, according to your Jewish teachings, you can't eat this full banquet.
Don't even think about it."
Albert had a hearty meal in Yu Sheng's villa, and after realizing that he was a little full, he regretfully said goodbye to Yu Sheng.
I rushed back to the United States without stopping.
Yu Sheng sent Albert away and asked Qing Xiaoyi to make a simple dish.
By the way, he wasn't actually full just now.
After the meal, Qing Xiaoyi did not read a book or play with the children with her small dog as usual, but instead brought a notebook for Yu Sheng.
It was still a thick book bound by Qing Xiaoyi himself with rough rice paper.
Qing Xiaoyi said to Yu Sheng: "This is some information I have collected in the past few months.
I feel something is not right."

"Oh, something is wrong."
Qing Xiaoyi's speed and ability to process various materials amazed Yu Sheng.
Qing Xiaoyi said something was wrong and must have discovered something.
Yu Sheng finally opened the notebook, and when he opened it, he saw extremely detailed maps, all of them showing the distribution of various streets and lanes in Shanghai.
The map is clear and well-proportioned.
There are many beautiful small regular scripts next to it, recording important positions and changes on the map.
"There is something wrong.
I don't have clear evidence.
I just think that some places may be dangerous."
Qing Xiaoyi looked through the book, pointed at the map and said to Yu Sheng: "Generally speaking, the time you usually get up is probably in the morning.
Around eight o’clock, then spend about half an hour washing up and eating, and leave home at eight-thirty.”
"Besides, you usually walk to Xinhua Company.
Ever since Principal Liu Zhanen was shot to death by the Zodiac Society at the bus station, you rarely take the bus again.
Unless the bus is very empty.
So, I let the mistress Together with Ahua and the others, they checked out all the roads, alleys and buildings along the way from your home to the company."
"Then, I discovered that there were a few things that were not quite right," Qing Xiaoyi said while flipping through the book.
This book doesn't look too thick, but it has hundreds of pages.
The rest of my life followed Qing Xiaoyi, watching the streets and alleys of Shanghai flash past my eyes.
"When you leave home every day, you will inevitably pass by Zhongshan East 2nd Road.
At Taikoo Pier, turn to Jinling East Road.
You pass the French Consulate here.
More than half of the patrols in the French Concession patrol here.
So, this There are few Japanese and traitors in this place, so even if you really have any plans, you won’t take action here, after all, there are too many variables.”
"Once you pass the Yuanfeng Road at the intersection of Jinling East Road and Sichuan South Road, it will be much more dangerous.
Sichuan Road is extremely long and divided into north and south.
A section of Sichuan North Road was occupied by the Japanese.
In the past, the Zodiac Society Most of the people who sneak into the concession and do evil things enter the concession through Sichuan South Road. " "And what I said is wrong is after passing this intersection."
"Opposite the Yuanfeng Bank is the Meng Hengdeng Western Food Club, and then along Jinling East Road is the Hengxingxiang Watch Shop, Wynn House, Fuhe Xiangzhuang, Jiang Wanchang Pharmacy, Dagong Bank, Hezhong Pharmacy, and so on.
Go to the Traffic and Travel Agency.
Although these stores seem to have not changed, some of our children saw Japanese people coming in and out of the Traffic and Travel Agency."
"It was later discovered that the boss of this restaurant had actually been replaced by a Japanese.
Although the manager and staff were all the same, and the door and decoration had not changed, the boss had become Japanese.
Although the French, British and even Americans don’t like the Japanese’s presence in Shanghai.
However, the Japanese still pretend to abide by international conventions.
Therefore, no one can stop the Japanese from doing normal business in the concession area
