2234 A pool of talents
Provence fish soup was too common. Even though Yuan Zhou hadn’t received the French dish reward yet, he still had a certain understanding of it.
“I wonder when I’ll be able to get French food or Italy Food. The cooking system is indeed different.”
“I’m still an apprentice on the road of cooking. ” Yuan Zhou judged by himself.
He completely ignored the fact that he had mastered the Singapore cuisines and the Spain cuisines that were about to appear, as well as the steak Encyclopedia. Even if it was a foreign cuisines, Yuan Zhou could still be called a master.
It was known that even in foreign countries, it was rare for a chef to master the dishes of several countries, let alone Yuan Zhou, who was proficient in all kinds of dishes.
Seeing that podraco had chosen sea bass, Yuan Zhou knew that he must have created an innovative dish. This was not easy. After all, podraco was not Chu Xiao, who believed in “better to die than to create something new”.
After washing the fish again, he drained the water and began to remove the head and tail. Then, he cut open the fish belly and separated the fish meat from the bones.
Since the bass did not have any small thorns, only the big fish bone in the middle, it was easy to remove.
When podraco said that he was going all out, he meant it. There was not a single hint of perfunctory, and he was going all out.
While Yuan Zhou was waiting for podraco’s fish soup, it only took tuoma and the others a few minutes to finish all the beef in the steamer.
“There’s a clear difference between the culinary skills and Yuan ‘s, but as expected of head chef Yuan’s disciple. Even the portions are equally little.” Auguste muttered in his heart.
He was definitely not the only one who had such thoughts. The others had similar expressions.
In fact, Cheng zhaomei was also wronged. He had already prepared a lot of food, but Yi qun was quite fond of the taste of this snack. It was numbing and spicy, soft and smooth, and even a little sandy.
“Head chef Cheng, may I ask if this dish is a signature dish of a chef or is it available in all of China?” Ju man Li wanted to ask.
Auguste and Manfeld also noticed. They were familiar with China and knew that many of the dishes were exclusive to chefs.
“This dish is not rare, especially this series of dishes,” Cheng zhaomei replied.”Almost all chefs know how to make it, but the most authentic ones are in Huaxia and Sichuan Province.”
Although there was a saying that there were three villages in China that steamed vegetables, namely, e province Tianmen, Xiang province Liuyang, and su province Changfu, the method of steamed rice flour was popular in Sichuan cuisine. It was also widely promoted, such as steamed pork ribs, steamed meat, and steamed beef cooked by Cheng zhaomei. There were many kinds of dishes.
“Sichuan Province really has a wide system of Chinese cuisines.” Ju man Li muttered these two words in silence, intending to take note of them. He knew that Yuan Zhou was cooking Cantonese dishes yesterday.
“I think those who like this dish will love it very much, but those who don’t like it might not be able to accept this rustling texture. I can accept it, so I like it.” Rexton gave a thumbs up and continued,””Although I’m not sure about the exact temperature of the cooking, from the texture of the beef, I get full marks for this.”
Rexton was a straightforward person. His likes and dislikes were all on the surface, and his evaluation was more objective.
Gauss, for example, couldn’t accept the taste, so he didn’t move his chopsticks after the first bite.
Cheng zhaomei was not discouraged. After all, apart from her master, he had never seen anyone who could satisfy everyone’s requirements for delicious food.
“Yuan should still have some room for improvement in this dish.” Gauss said.
Lester had just gone to Italy to participate in a tasting event of a restaurant and had just returned yesterday. As he didn’t participate in the cooking competition, he naturally didn’t know about Yuan Zhou’s performance.
Although he could not imagine it, Rexton felt that he could look forward to it when he saw everyone’s admiration.”Does head chef Yuan open a restaurant? I want to go.”
“It’s in Sichuan, Huaxia. You can come with me to see the world.” Ju man Li said slowly.
Just when everyone was having a small talk, podraco’s fish soup was coming to an end. The few famous Chinese chefs who followed Zhou Shijie and Yuan Zhou automatically gathered there.
The group of people had been very low-key just now. They were very familiar with Cheng zhaomei, the chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association and the direct disciple of Yuan Zhou. Therefore, they didn’t compete with those foreigners. However, now that it was the France chef’s turn to cook, it was naturally the Chinese’s turn to be the home field.
Although it was just a home-cooked fish soup, it was different after podraco, the king of exquisiteness, had carefully sculpted it.
The fish meat was cut into tiny cubes, each about one centimeter in length. Three pieces were placed on a plate, and a spoonful of red soup was poured over it, adding a bit of beauty to the originally white and tender fish meat.
The colors were distinct and the dishes were exquisitely arranged. As expected of the representative of French cuisine, he had indeed made the essence of French cuisine.
After Yuan Zhou greeted them, several Chinese chefs started to move their spoons. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. It was also a form of respect to use the tableware of other countries.
He scooped up a piece of fish meat. Probably because it was soaked in the red soup, the fish meat was red. The soup was made with fish bones, shrimp shells, onions, and scarlet flowers, so it had a spicy taste.
As soon as the soup entered his mouth, it stimulated his tongue. Then, it was the fish meat. With a light sip, it spread out in the shape of garlic cloves. The fish skin was soft and sticky, and the fish meat was tender and smooth. The taste was not bad.
“Provence fish soup is indeed worthy of its reputation. It has the local characteristics, but if you add some Provence vanilla leaves when making the soup, it will be more regional. Also, the duration can be slightly longer, and it will be more fragrant.” Yuan Zhou got to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.
Podraco, on the other hand, had been listening attentively. The more he listened, the brighter his eyes became. Obviously, Yuan Zhou’s words had inspired him.
Thank you, head chef Yuan. I understand.” Podraco bowed to Yuan Zhou with great gratitude.
Yuan Zhou waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t mind. It was already in the past. His comments were always in the form of guidance. He had never made any mistakes so far.
With Cheng zhaomei and podraco as the leaders, the exchange officially began. The chefs from both countries showed their skills. Not only did the famous Chinese chefs see a lot of France specialties, but the French also learned more about the diversity of Chinese food.
Different cuisines presented different tastes. There were all five flavors, spicy, sour, sweet, and all sorts of other flavors. In just one day of the exchange meeting, all kinds of dishes had opened the eyes of the famous France chefs.
For example, Zhang Longquan had prepared a Cantonese shrimp dumpling Emperor. The combination of the chewy and tender shrimp, the delicate and crisp mushrooms, and the soft and chewy skin was a breath of fresh air for everyone.
“It should be because of the ingredients. The activity of the prawns is not enough, and the preparation for washing the prawns is a problem. It’s a little soft to eat.” Auguste, who had entered official work mode, had no mercy.
“Thank you for your advice, Mr. Auguste.” Zhang Longquan said.
“The improvement of this dish seems to have failed.” Reist said.
Also, the West Lake fish in vinegar sauce made by Luo Qing was a very good experience for Gauss, who liked sourness, but Adrian, who didn’t like sourness, was more depressed.
“The future of Chinese cuisine will definitely be bright. The chefs who are here to hand over their culinary skills are not weak. The strongest one is even better than Julian.” Manfred said.
Everyone at the meeting brought out their best. Of course, everyone also carefully judged and gave suggestions. Both sides were very satisfied with this exchange.
