1894 Chapter 1893: the first Prince!
No matter how enthusiastic the customers were, the breakfast time was still only one hour, and the most important thing was that there were only 100 servings.
“I’m counting on boss Yuan. I feel that the business of my restaurant isn’t so good as long as boss Yuan isn’t here. I don’t know if it’s just an illusion. ” The stir-fried restaurant next door said.
“It’s not an illusion. It’s especially obvious in my convenience store. ” In the family convenience store diagonally across.
Originally, Yuan Zhou planned to write a novel after breakfast. However, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan both called him last night and made an appointment to come this morning. Therefore, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up and change his clothes after making breakfast.
As the former chairman of Sichuan cuisine and the chairman of the chef’s Association, they were very anxious about head chef Yang’s knife-sealing banquet. No matter how busy they were at the end of the year, they immediately made time.
From the side, it showed that although there were not many people present at the knife-sealing banquet, it was really the focus of the chef altar.
Yuan Zhou took out the pre-Ming Tea and brought it to the stone table in the backyard, intending to make some tea. Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan also liked to drink tea. It was more comfortable for them to drink tea and talk about the knife sealing banquet.
There were also many refreshments, such as crispy pineapple buns and chicken pancakes.
After everything was prepared, Yuan Zhou stood at the door of the restaurant and intended to welcome them. This was the respect for the elders.
As the appointed time approached, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan didn’t let Yuan Zhou wait for long. The two of them appeared together.
“Little Yuan, did I hold you up today?” Zhou Shijie was still a little embarrassed.
“It’s the two of us who are too willful. However, head chef yang has not appeared in the cooking altar for a long time. I remember that the last time he appeared was at the chef’s conference of the chef’s Association four years ago.” Zhang Ye said.
“Four years ago, I only appeared as a judge. If I really want to speak, I have to wait two years.” Zhou Shijie said.
“Yeah, sorry for disturbing little Yuan.” Zhang Ye said.
“It’s fine. I’ve gained a lot from the saber-sealing banquet this time. It’s a good opportunity to exchange some ideas with uncle Zhang and uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou said.
Hearing Yuan Zhou’s words, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan felt much better.
“That’s good. Come, let’s talk about it first. How was the knife-sealing banquet? who were the chefs?” While walking with Yuan Zhou, Zhou Shijie asked hurriedly.
Seeing that Zhou Shijie had already asked, Zhang Ye followed behind and listened attentively. He was also very curious.
This was one of the few times Yuan Zhou showed such an anxious look ever since he knew Chairman Zhou Shijie for the past few years. It was obvious that this knife-sealing feast was very important to him.
“For this knife-sealing banquet, the other three inheritors of the royal chef families, head chef yang, head chef Wang Ying of Zhejiang cuisine, and bekoli of Cantonese cuisine have come to watch the ceremony …”
After the dinner ended, all the chefs present exchanged their contact information with Yuan Zhou. When Beko stood in the middle of the Cantonese cuisine, even song Ming had to call him senior. He was equivalent to Grandpa Wang of Jiangsu cuisine.
“So elder bei and elder Geng are here too. But why is Wang Ying here?” Zhang Ye found a very discordant name.
Zhou Shijie thought for a while and said,”if I remember correctly, Wang Ying was once a disciple of the Father of the royal chef GE when she was young. Moreover, Wang Ying is very close to the inheritor of the royal chef. That should be the reason.”
“As expected of elder Yang’s saber-sealing banquet. Indeed, only those of high moral standing and prestige can participate,” Zhang Ji said after a sudden realization. Zhang Ye was shocked by this lineup.
Except for Wang Ying, the rest of them had basically retired from the cooking world. After all, they were old.
Yuan Zhou was silent for a while. Did he forget someone when he said that?
“Uncle Zhou, uncle Zhang, let’s sit down. I’ll explain it to you slowly.” Yuan Zhou came back to his senses and asked Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie to sit down. He poured them a cup of tea and then said slowly.
“Little Yuan, you deserve to be able to participate in this knife-sealing banquet. With your culinary skills alone, I reckon that even yang Lao and the others will be shocked. Let’s not talk about Sichuan cuisine, which of the other cuisines isn’t top-notch? therefore, I told those chefs of Sichuan cuisine to learn more from you, little Yuan.” Zhang Ye said this from the bottom of his heart.
“Aren’t you making things difficult for those Sichuan cuisine chefs? Little yuan can learn this? I’ll never let the chefs of Lu cuisine and little Yuan learn it. They can ‘t. ” Zhou Shijie said.
“That’s true. Actually, I don’t need much. I think even two points would be excellent.” Zhang Yan nodded in agreement with Zhou Shijie’s idea.
“Two points is still a little more. If the Lu cuisine can get one point, I think it would be very good if there are a few more.” Zhou Shijie was also honest.
Zhou Chui and Zhang Chui were always showered with compliments. Although Yuan Zhou wasn’t embarrassed by his thick skin, he still had to keep a low profile.
Of course, the core of the matter was that Yuan Zhou was also worthy of such praise. Even Zhou Shijie wasn’t qualified to attend the knife sealing banquet, but Yuan Zhou had.
They continued to talk about the knife sealing banquet. At first, they talked about the knife sealing Hall, because Yuan Zhou had never thought that there would be a special knife sealing Hall.
After that, the knife sealing Hall officially became the banquet’s dish.
“The first dish of the knife-sealing banquet is the clear sauce meat. Head chef Yang’s clear sauce meat is innovative in its traditional way. Not only is it different in terms of eating, but it is also different in the marinating process. Moreover, his cutting skills are quite excellent. There is also the second dish …”
Yuan Zhou knew that Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan were very curious about everything that happened during the knife-sealing banquet, so he started to explain from the first dish, then the second, and the third. As long as it was a dish that appeared during the knife-sealing banquet, Yuan Zhou described it in detail and also told them about his own experience.
Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan also shared their thoughts after listening to Yuan Zhou’s experience. Although they didn’t come to the scene personally, their decades of cooking experience were not fake. They already had many thoughts just by listening to Yuan Zhou.
“After the knife-sealing banquet, I also made a deer head. To solve the sourness of the deer head, I used the cooking method of Guizhou cuisine.” Yuan Zhou slowly expressed his opinion.
“Deer head. Very few people make this. It should be difficult to change the sourness if you braise it. Little Yuan, what’s your cooking method?” Zhou Shijie said after hearing that.
“I’ve encountered it once, and it was a coincidence that I got a deer. In the end, I used the deer’s head to roast it. The charred fragrance can solve the sourness of the deer’s head meat.” Zhang Ye interjected.
“So uncle Zhang has done it before. Can you tell me more about it?” Yuan Zhou asked.
As a matter of fact, when he cooked the braised deer head at the knife-sealing banquet previously, it was, after all, a recipe that he thought of on the spot. Even though he had already tried it and the other Masters approved of it, Yuan Zhou was still curious when he heard other things. He had always maintained a rich inquiry about delicacies.
Next, the three of them started to talk about the dishes of the knife-sealing feast. One was a master of Lu cuisine, one was a master of Sichuan cuisine, and one was an existence who had mastered six regional cuisines and surpassed a master.
Time passed by while they were conversing with each other. Soon, it was time for Yuan Zhou to prepare lunch. Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan both decided to have lunch here before leaving. After all, it wasn’t easy for them to come here.
The exchange was very successful, and the tea and pastries were good. If there were no accidents, it would be a happy ending, but there were accidents.
Surprisingly, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan heard another thing and were extremely shocked.
“Little Yuan, are you saying that elder yang, elder GE, and elder mo have all joined your famous chef Alliance?”
“And it’s a practical position like Executive Director?!”
The two of them couldn’t help but be shocked. They had already been surprised that Yuan Zhou could invite Mr. MA to be the Vice-President.
Later on, he felt that Mr. MA might have taken Yuan Zhou as his successor, thus it was understandable.
But now, all four inheritors of the Royal chefs had been caught in one fell swoop. This was simply too exaggerated.
When Yuan Zhou was telling the story, he naturally couldn’t say anything about himself. But now, Zhang Yan and Chairman Zhou could also imagine Yuan Zhou’s performance at the knife sealing banquet.
Zhang Ye said,”in the past, I wanted you to be the chairman of Sichuan cuisine. From the looks of it now, it’s a good thing I didn’t insist.”
“Little Yuan, the foundation of your China chef’s Association is going to surpass that of the China chef’s Association.” Zhou Shijie paused for a while and said faintly. How could he say that he wanted Yuan Zhou to inherit the position of Chairman of the chef’s Association?
