Chapter 584: 161: Are you Daya? (11 updates)_1
This was Mr. Abner’s first time admiring someone so much.
And also the first time he fell in love with a country!
He had always heard about the profoundness of Chinese culture, this time, he experienced it firsthand!
“You flatter me, I am merely carrying on my master’s teaching,” Ni Yang said with a faint smile.
“Yangyang.” Georgia looked at Ni Yang, “May I call you that?”
“You may.” Ni Yang nodded.
“I really like you! I don’t have many friends in China, can I come to talk to you often after I recover?” Georgia asked.
Ni Yang nodded, “Of course, I’d be very happy to!”
Hearing Ni Yang’s response, Georgia was very pleased.
After Ni Yang left, Georgia turned to Mr. Abner.
“Abner, I want to discuss something with you.”
“Mom, go ahead,” Mr. Abner replied.
“I want to recognize a younger sister for you,” Georgia continued.
“Is it Ni Yang?” Mr. Abner seemed to have guessed his mother’s intention.
Georgia nodded, “Yes.”
Georgia truly liked Ni Yang. Hearing that it was customary in China to recognize goddaughters, she had this idea in mind.
If such a pretty girl could become her god-daughter, she would wake up laughing even in her dreams!
Of course, she would need to get her son’s consent before proceeding.
“Abner, would you mind?” Georgia continued to ask.
Having such an excellent sister would undoubtedly be fine for Mr. Abner, “The question is whether Ni Yang would agree?”
Georgia replied, “After I recover from my illness, I will visit Ni Yang’s home personally.”
This sort of matter would undoubtedly require discussion with Ni Yang’s family.
Georgia was not the type to neglect propriety.
Mr. Abner nodded.
After leaving the manor, Ni Yang went to the training class.
With over a month passing by, the training effect was very good, and the front-of-house staff could start working at any time.
The executive chefs were also busy tasting dishes and discussing the names of the dishes.
As Ni Yang’s restaurant aims for a higher-end market, the names of the dishes couldn’t be too plain.
For example, “Spread Your Wings” is the name for chicken wings slow-cooked over low heat.
“Gold Branches and Jade Leaves” refers to Stir-fried Meat with Green and Red Peppers.
“Galloping Across the World” signifies Braised Pork Trotter.
While they were discussing the names, Ni Yang sat aside, occasionally giving some suggestions.
As for the taste of the dishes, with Ni Yang’s secret recipe, even a simple fried vegetable dish has its unique flavor.
The chefs were very skilled, and with Ni Yang’s secret recipes, the dishes would exude an incredible aroma as soon as they were served at the table.
“Miss Ni, could you try this and tell us how it tastes?” The head chef passed the chopsticks to Ni Yang.
Ni Yang stood up and took a piece of fish, “The taste is good. But we need to rethink the way of plating and the portion size.”
Chinese people prefer hearty servings, so most dishes are very large in portion.
Actually, this is least preferred in high-end restaurants.
Because “in scarcity lies value”, too large a portion doesn’t look precious.
“How should we change it?” The head chef was a bit confused.
Ni Yang lightly smiled, “Have you ever had Japanese or Western cuisine?”
“No.” The head chef shook his head.
After all, a Japanese meal would cost 200-300 yuan. How could he afford that?
Ni Yang smiled and said, “It’s okay if you haven’t tried it before. I can show you now.” After saying that, Ni Yang took out a dozen photos from her bag and distributed them to the cooks present.
These photos were taken while having Japanese and Western cuisine previously. Ni Yang continued:
“This is plating. Both Japanese and Western cuisines pay great attention to plating. A perfect dish not only tastes good but also looks good. It triggers both the appetite and the feeling of high quality!”
Hearing this, the chefs frowned, “It sounds simple, but it’s not that easy to do.”
“That’s true.”
“Are the flowers on this Japanese dish fake?”
