Big Capitalist

As for dishes like the "Golden Plate Reflecting Danxia" (fried eggs with persimmons) just shown, which have unique Chinese characteristics, relatively "complex" cooking techniques, and deeper cultural heritage, Meilin has always regarded them as "killer dishes".

Merlin looked at the crowd with a hint of pride in his eyes, and slowly spoke, "I'm sure you've all noticed that the culinary culture of the Oberon civilization is completely different from ours. Our daily staples are mostly bread and steak, but in the Oberon civilization, there are many different kinds of staple foods, and the most popular among them is undoubtedly this Pearl White Jade Rice."

As soon as he finished speaking, the maids walked in with light steps, carrying exquisite small bowls filled with steaming hot rice. They came to everyone one by one and placed the bowls steadily on the dining table.

Merlin saw this and continued, "This Pearl White Jade Rice has a unique origin. It's said that during the heyday of Oberon civilization, people's pursuit of food quality reached its peak. This dish requires pure, clear mountain spring water, steamed in specially crafted cedar barrels. The sweetness of the spring water imparts a unique texture to the rice, while the cedar barrel imparts a subtle woody fragrance during the steaming process. The two complement each other, perfectly preserving the rice's original flavor while remaining pure, natural, and clean."

Everyone in the Aize Federation turned their eyes to the bowls of rice, and saw that each grain of rice was plump and crystal clear, just like a pearl.

In the continent of Aize, rice exists as a food, but it is not mainstream.

On weekdays, bread made from wheat is the staple food commonly consumed by the public, and only the elves grow some rice out of their love for natural crops.

At this time, the fresh and tempting rice aroma emanating from the rice permeates the entire restaurant.

Merlin smiled and continued, "In the Oberon civilization's diet, rice is the staple food that pairs best with all kinds of dishes. You might want to try it. Place the Golden Plate Ying Danxia you just tasted on top of this rice, and then enjoy it together. I believe it will give you a unique and delicious experience."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Aize Federation and Andorra picked up their spoons, scooped up a spoonful of the tempting fried egg and persimmon, and slowly spread it over the rice.

At this moment, the maid respectfully handed over two slender wooden stick-shaped cutlery from the side. This sudden scene made everyone present stunned.

Merlin smiled and explained, "This is the unique tableware of the Oberon civilization, called chopsticks."

Someone in the crowd couldn't help but mutter, "Aren't these just two sticks?"

Merlin shook his head slightly and said seriously, "Don't underestimate these two thin wooden sticks. They are an important symbol of the Oberonian civilization's culinary culture. Chopsticks play a vital role on the Oberonian dining table."

As he spoke, Merlin picked up the chopsticks, picked up an egg skillfully, and demonstrated to everyone how to use chopsticks to pick up food.

As he demonstrated, he said, "Using chopsticks requires finger coordination and controlled force. These two chopsticks may seem simple, but they actually contain profound cultural connotations and life wisdom. In the Oberon civilization, children learn how to use chopsticks from the very beginning. They are not just a tool for eating, but also a symbol of cultural heritage and family etiquette."

Everyone present imitated Merlin's actions and tried to pick up the chopsticks.

However, for these "country bumpkins from another world" who have never used chopsticks, it is extremely difficult to master the use of such an instrument.

They watched Merlin pick up the dishes easily with chopsticks, and shock appeared on their faces.

He couldn't help but wonder, these were just two small wooden sticks, why couldn't he use them as skillfully as Merlin?

Although everyone seemed a little clumsy as they continued to try, the curiosity and passion for exploration in their eyes became increasingly stronger.

After all, this group of people are the elites of the Aize continent. As magicians, their mental and soul powers far exceed those of ordinary people, and their learning abilities are even more outstanding. They can quickly master anything they learn.

Especially Andorra, when he took the chopsticks, he only watched Merlin use it once, and he understood it and learned how to use it.

He was seen holding the chopsticks, and although his movements were a little clumsy, he was able to pick up the food steadily, which attracted the admiration of the people around him.

Merlin clapped his hands in satisfaction upon seeing this.

Then, the maids came in one after another with light steps like well-trained dancers.

The plates in their hands were like treasure boxes containing mysterious treasures. Dishes with good color, fragrance and taste were placed on the table, which was dazzling.

The first dish served was the bright red, sweet and sour "Jinsi Fengsui Pei", which is actually the well-known fish-flavored shredded pork.

Meilin gave it this elegant name to highlight the delicacy of its ingredients, which are as precious as phoenix bone marrow and as delicate as brocade.

Next, the "Golden Thread Crisp Jade Slices" made a brilliant appearance, with the golden and crispy braised pork slices emitting an enticing aroma on the plate.

"Golden Threads" describes the golden color of the fried pork slices, just like golden threads, while "Crispy Jade" describes the crispy outside and tender inside, which is as fascinating as brittle jade.

Afterwards, a dish of three fresh delicacies named "Jade and Gold Pearl Stew" was placed in front of everyone.

The emerald green peppers, golden potatoes and purple eggplants, like jade, gold beads and treasures, complement each other and increase people's appetite.

The mouth-watering sweet and sour pork is now called "Amber Crispy Dragon Scale Roll".

The golden fried meat slices are shaped like dragon scales and are as clear as amber. When you take a bite, it is crispy and sweet, as if the fresh fragrance of a giant dragon is rolled into your mouth.

There is also "Red Flame Pepper Fragrant Phoenix Feather", which is spicy chicken.

The bright red peppers and tender chicken pieces are intertwined together, just like the feathers of a phoenix dancing in the flames, full of passion and vitality.

Finally, the "Cuiying Red Threaded Beef Slices" was served, with tender beef paired with emerald green pepper shreds, a blend of freshness and mellowness.

"Cuiying" refers to green peppers, "hongsi" means beef, and "Xiangniucai" emphasizes that this dish is made with beef as the main ingredient and is carefully cooked.

Not only do these dishes have elegant names, but each one is also a perfect side dish for rice.

Merlin sat quietly aside, watching everyone feasting on the food like gluttons, and felt secretly delighted in his heart, knowing that this step was a sure thing.

They were all eating with great enjoyment, constantly adding rice to their bowls, as if they could never eat enough.

Yes, in the continent of Aize, the best food these so-called elites can eat on a daily basis is nothing more than steak made from some extremely rare magical beasts.

Although Warcraft steaks are precious and magical, when it comes to the richness and variety of taste, how can they be compared with the delicacies of Chinese civilization.
