One Belt and One Road dinner menu: family portrait, beef with scallion, Beijing roast duck, assorted fresh vegetables, iced fried dumpling, crab-yellow steamed wheat, swan cake, pictographic loquat, fruit, ice cream, coffee, tea, Changyu dry white, Great Wall dry red, aged Moutai.
As the first dish, family photos are exquisite. As a traditional famous dish, family photos originated in the Qin Dynasty. It is a unique treatment of various seafood, meat and vegetables, and then cooked into a pot, symbolizing "family reunion". At important banquets, family photos are often the "first dish".
beef with scallion and assorted fresh vegetables seem ordinary, but they actually have a certain purpose. Cattle is a symbol of hard work in China, representing a spirit of hard work. In addition, foreigners are keen on eating beef, so it has both implications and can satisfy the tastes of guests. Assorted fresh vegetables are a mixture of many kinds of vegetables, which look beautiful and show that we are rich in products.
Needless to say, Beijing Roast Duck is a world-famous dish, which is known as "delicious in the world". However, some people ask why it is not Quanjude Roast Duck. The reason is actually very simple. Beijing Roast Duck is not necessarily Quanjude Roast Duck, but Quanjude Roast Duck must be Beijing Roast Duck.
The four dishes, namely, iced fried dumpling, boiled wheat with crab roe, swan cake and pictographic loquat, should not be regarded as dishes in a strict sense, but as snacks. It can be seen that they are all made of pasta, and they gather regional specialties from the north and the south. For example, boiled wheat with crab roe is a delicious food that northerners like, while boiled wheat with crab roe is one of the delicacies in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
in addition to the above delicious food, there are some delicious fruits, ice cream, tea and so on for guests to taste. Of course, the so-called banquet is also indispensable to drinks. This banquet has prepared three kinds of drinks, namely "Changyu Dry White", "Great Wall Dry Red" and "Aged Maotai", which can be said to be the top drinks in China.
Changyu and Great Wall are mainly red wines, which have won numerous awards both at home and abroad for many years, and they are also well-known domestic wine brands. Needless to say, Maotai is definitely the bearer of Chinese wine, brewed by traditional techniques, and has a strong sauce flavor.
Implication
The Belt and Road Initiative is a wonderful inheritance of the Silk Road. At the "Belt and Road" welcome banquet, everything on the 41-meter-long banquet table in the golden hall was carefully designed. The physical model shows the ancient Chinese Silk Road, as well as modern infrastructure such as high-speed rail, large aircraft, new energy vehicles, logistics vehicles, photovoltaic power generation, ports and docks, railways and highways.
In addition to exquisite decoration, the production of delicious food and the choice of fine wine also contain great questions. Food and wine are symbols of a country's culture. China's promotion of the "Belt and Road" cooperation is not only a business, but also a link for the export of Chinese culture.
Food, water, tea and wine represent Chinese culture and are China's own national brands. When international VIPs taste these delicious foods and wines, taste buds are the most honest expression of human beings, which will naturally enhance their recognition of Chinese culture and trust in Chinese national brands.
The ever-improving Chinese culture and the ever-changing Chinese national brands are all important forces on the journey of China's great rejuvenation, demonstrating China's soft power.
