Chapter 609: Magical

"Everyone came so early." Luo Quan said to the fans surrounding her while opening the door.

"I've been waiting here for more than half an hour!" A slightly chubby boy said, holding a cup of hot coffee that had already gone cold.

"I can't wait to eat the food you cooked!" Another fan said, rubbing his hands, looking excited.

Although it was very early now, only eight o'clock, the number of guests and fans surrounding the restaurant had already exceeded three or four hundred.

With Luo Quan's fame, no matter what kind of shop she opens, the business on the first day will explode.

Not to mention it's a restaurant where she personally cooks and serves guests.

Eating a dish cooked by Luo Quan personally is a completely different experience from buying her photo album or album, and it is definitely more realistic.

The door lock was opened, but Luo Quan didn't open the two doors immediately, but said to the fans:

"Because the scale and manpower of the shop are limited, the shop can only be reserved on the 'Luo Quan APP' on the mobile phone. Please register."

This app that Luo Quan mentioned is actually a personal-oriented app she had always wanted to make, which is a community for her global fans to communicate.

However, because she was busy shooting films, she never got around to it.

But because she was opening a restaurant these few days, Luo Quan asked Li Jiang to arrange for someone to design a reservation and ordering app, and other functions like chatting would be added later.

Fans downloaded this software with the "Luo" character as the icon on their mobile phones. After registering and entering the reservation and ordering interface, they found that the dishes inside were a bit expensive, generally 200 to 300 US dollars per dish.

This price made a considerable number of fans start scratching their heads and muttered in a low voice: "This is a bit expensive."

However, thinking about it, it is actually quite reasonable for a star of Luo Quan's level to cook for everyone personally and sell it at a higher price.

If it were Leon here cooking for female fans, it is estimated that even if a dish sold for 500 US dollars, no female fan would call it expensive, and there would definitely be many people chasing to place orders.

It can only be said that in terms of consumption, men are still more rational than women. If the woman they can't get spends a lot of money, they will still hesitate.

Of course, if the service becomes Luo Quan feeding fans food personally, then there would be no hesitation. The guests placing orders could line up from here to Washington, D. C.!

As for Luo Quan, this is actually a helpless move.

Chinese food is generally not expensive. Except for some palace dishes with precious ingredients and long time, others are at most 40 or 50 RMB per plate.

However, she still wears the title of God of Cookery and is an international superstar. Is it too much to charge 300 US dollars for a dish?

After all, this is the United States, with an average monthly income of 3,500 US dollars, while the average monthly income in China is about 3,400, which is actually similar.

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, 300 US dollars for a dish and 300 RMB for a dish in China actually don't have much difference.

It is definitely a bit expensive, and for people at the bottom of society, eating one dish is basically equal to half a month's living expenses.

However, Luo Quan couldn't set the price at the level of ten-something US dollars for popular fast food. Otherwise, she would be busy from morning to night and couldn't have time to rest.

"Fans, the restaurant pricing is indeed a bit expensive, but I opened this restaurant mainly to shoot a variety show, and I don't intend to open it for a long time, so everyone should do what they can.

In addition, I will provide some free breakfast and coffee to the fans outside in a while, which I also cooked personally."

Luo Quan saw that the fans were a bit depressed, so she comforted them.

Hearing this, the fans immediately smiled again. Everyone came to join the fun, and now they can eat the food cooked by Luo Quan for free, which of course is very happy.

As for going to the shop to eat, it's not that they can't afford it, it's just that they are reluctant to part with the money.

Of course, there are always those who can afford it or are willing to give this price, and soon, Luo Quan Restaurant welcomed the first batch of guests.

More than a dozen fans successfully reserved and walked into the shop. As for ordering, they didn't click blindly 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 didn't follow the Chinese "faithfulness, expressiveness, and elegance" set, but completely translated according to the type of ingredients and flavor characteristics.

For example, shredded pork with garlic sauce is shredded pork that is both sour and sweet, and the word fish didn't appear.

If a diner orders this dish for fish and finally finds that there is no fish at all, suing you for not living up to the name would be too far.

In addition, each dish has two types of Chinese and American styles, not just a single type.

Don't look at the profound Chinese food culture and the long history of the eight major cuisines, but in the world, it actually doesn't have as much influence as Chinese people imagine.

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

But the Chinese food in Xiong Mao Express is improved according to the local population's taste. If Chinese people go to eat, they will probably only have one thought, and that is: does this broken thing deserve to be called Chinese food?

Americans have very heavy tastes, either salty to the point of absurdity or sweet to the point of absurdity. There are thousands of Chinese dishes, and it is estimated that only sweet and sour pork ribs and sweet and sour carp can be popular in the United States without too much improvement.

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

Therefore, Luo Quan wrote clearly on the first page of the menu that authentic Chinese food and American-style Chinese food taste very different, and reminded diners to choose carefully.

Of course, for fans, whether Chinese food is authentic or not doesn't matter much. They mainly come to eat the food cooked by Luo Quan.

Recommended by the waiters who had already received training, they ordered sweet and sour pork loin, Kung Pao chicken, and other sour and sweet Chinese food, which can also be considered one of the most famous Chinese foods in the world.

After placing the order, the kitchen started working quickly.

Zhou Zirong and the other three kitchen helpers immediately started washing vegetables and cutting meat, while the seasoning and stir-frying with high technical content were completed by Luo Quan.

This step is the place where the heat is most visible, and all the ins and outs of a dish are basically here.

Unlike Western cooking steps that are accurate to units like grams and minutes, the amount of seasoning and the time of stir-frying in Chinese food depend entirely on the chef's experience and feeling.

You need to try and make mistakes dish by dish, and summarize to truly find the most suitable and delicious point.

Of course, with Luo Quan's level, she had already passed this stage.

In the words of the ancients, her current realm is that the delicacies are naturally formed, and the clever hands are obtained by chance.

Dishes with fragrant smells came out of the kitchen one by one. Because they are all home-cooked dishes, the speed of serving dishes is quite fast, and each of the eight dishes will not exceed three minutes on average.

Soon, a magical scene appeared.

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

This is the body secreting dopamine after the sense of taste is greatly satisfied.

Such a fulfilling pleasure is much more intense than eating any fried junk food, making people want to shout "cool" out loud.

"God, is it really that delicious?" Outside the restaurant, fans saw a guest near the door, after eating a piece of sweet and sour pork loin, looking intoxicated with his head tilted, as if his whole person was about to float up.

It felt a bit too exaggerated, but that satisfied and happy expression could definitely not be faked.

At this time, the fragrance of sweet and sour pork loin also drifted out with the flow of air.

At this moment, the fans outside the door immediately understood. Just smelling the fragrance, they knew how delicious this dish was. Saliva secreted one after another, and they could only swallow their saliva.

After about ten minutes, another new guest came to the restaurant.

Although he is a fan of Luo Quan, he is also a photographer, and he happened to bump into Luo Quan's photography team.

"I am a food blogger on YouTube, and also a fan of Luo Quan. This time, besides chasing stars, I also want to livestream for my fans." Relson explained the situation to the restaurant foreman, and under the guarantee of not affecting other diners, he got permission to enter.

"Fans, today we came to Luo Quan's Chinese restaurant." Relson sat in a relatively remote location, where he wouldn't disturb others.

"Everyone shouldn't not know Luo Quan, right?"

In the livestream room with more than 5,000 viewers, there wasn't a single "no" to be seen.

Relson smiled: "Haha, I shouldn't have asked this question. I heard before that she opened a Chinese restaurant, and it officially opened today, so I brought everyone to see how this restaurant is.

As a food blogger, French food, Italian food, Turkish food, Chinese food, Japanese food, everyone has followed me to eat them, so it's not an exaggeration for me to say that I am half a gourmet, right?"

"It's all you eating, okay? We just watch."

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

"Our Indian food is really delicious, and it's clean and hygienic."

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

"Who in the world doesn't know the fame of Japanese food? For food, you still have to look at our Japanese food immortals."

………………

As a blogger with 10 million fans, Relson's fan composition is still quite mixed, from all countries, and they can always argue very fiercely when talking about this kind of topic.

However, Relson didn't stop them, because this is also his traffic password. If the argument isn't fierce, where does the heat come from?

"Waiter, can you introduce to me what that is?" Relson called the only female waiter, Cindy, and asked about the gold-plated plaque hanging at the entrance.

"That is the God of Cookery sign." Cindy explained with a smile: "A while ago, Chef Luo Quan participated in a cooking god competition held by the Chinese government and won first place. The title of God of Cookery is equivalent to a recognition of cooking skills."

"God of Cookery, that should be on the same level as the Japanese food immortal," Relson thought thoughtfully.

He had eaten at the Japanese food immortal chain stores, and could only say it was okay, but compared to those small shops in the corners, it was still a bit worse.

And Cindy didn't know what level her boss's cooking skills were at, just introduced according to what she knew.

"Then can you tell me what are the signature dishes or the best dishes here?" Relson started today's highlight.

Cindy turned the menu to the last page. There are many signature dishes in the shop:

Among them are the world's first flavor—Buddha Jumps Over the Wall

Palace unique flavor, delicious dish—Boiled Cabbage in Water

The first dish in the God of Cookery competition—True Sea Bream River and Mountain Map

The world's first sashimi—Fierce Ice Fresh Sea Bream Mountain

Magical buns that will laugh—Golden Opening Laugh

Pork dancing on the flames—Stir-fried Twice-cooked Pork

Chinese national treasure in black and white—Big Magic Xiong Mao Tofu

……………………

These dish names, which are full of middle-school degree and call themselves the first in China and the first in the world, directly stunned Relson and the fans in his livestream room.

Although Americans advocate individual heroism and like a style that is relatively arrogant, Luo Quan's menu is too ridiculous.

Especially that Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, daring to call itself the world's first flavor, even if the Universe Country is arrogant, it has never shouted such a name.

"Can you tell me what's going on with this Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, why dare to call it the world's first flavor?" Relson looked at this dish priced at 100,000 US dollars and asked curiously.

"This is our chef's bottom-of-the-box unique skill. If you want to eat it, you need to book three days in advance, because the cooking time of this dish is three days, which is very time-consuming and laborious.

However, our chef said that the deliciousness of this dish cannot be compared to other dishes. This should have been mentioned by President Trump."

"There is such a thing?" Relson was stunned for a moment, and then immediately remembered.

Some time ago, this comedian president visited China and seemed to have specially tweeted to praise a dish at the state banquet, saying that this is simply the most beautiful taste in the world.

But at that time, everyone thought this was polite, so they didn't take it too seriously.

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

However, this price is really too expensive, a full 100,000 US dollars. Although he earned a lot of money by livestreaming and making videos, forget it for spending 100,000 US dollars on a dish. He is not luxurious to this extent.

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

"Let's have a Golden Opening Laugh. I want to see what this bun that will laugh is like.

Also, come with a stir-fried twice-cooked pork. I like spicy food."

These two dishes are 500 US dollars each, which belongs to the more expensive category. 1,000 US dollars for two dishes is already quite luxurious.

However, he can still afford this price range.

At the same time, the fans in Relson's livestream room have also argued endlessly.

Not for anything else, just for this menu that is crazy without boundaries.

Some viewers complained that Luo Quan was shameless, while some viewers were Luo Quan's fans, thinking that there was no problem with naming it like this.

The two groups are on opposite sides, and it is estimated that they will continue to argue like this until they see the dishes.

Relson looked at the barrage and said: After the dishes are served, I will give everyone a fair evaluation. ===== CHAPTER 610 =====
