2338 Lucky to be born early
“It’s good that head chef Yuan doesn’t mind. ” Although opello also thought so, he still felt quite comfortable in his heart to be acknowledged by Yuan Zhou.
“Head chef opello, you can try these pastries and see if they suit your taste.” Yuan Zhou said.
For this tea tasting exchange, Yuan Zhou had prepared five kinds of pastries in total. Each of them was placed on a separate plate, which looked both beautiful and neat.
“This Red Turtle shell looks beautiful and pure in color. It has a special fragrance, which is the fragrance of high-quality safflower rice. In addition to the unique fragrance of banana leaves, as well as the vivid patterns on the back, it is indeed worthy of being called a kun that symbolizes fortune, glory, and longevity.” Opello said carefully.
The Red Turtle shell was also very popular in the min province of China. It was mostly used for sacrifices and Tributes in temples.
Of course, what Yuan Zhou cooked was the authentic Singapore flavor. After all, he had not gotten his hands on the Fujian cuisine yet.
After the red tortoiseshell underwent a change in Singapore, not only was the filling more suited to the taste habits of Singaporean people, but the use was also greatly different. On big occasions such as the New Year’s birthday, the red tortoiseshell would shine with a different color.
In China, tortoises were a symbol of longevity and good fortune. Women who were deeply influenced by Chinese culture gave them good wishes when making Red Turtle bones.
“Indeed, the patterns on this turtle are not only vivid but also very unique. It’s different from what I’ve seen before.” Li Dehua was also very surprised.
He didn’t know how to stir up trouble, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t have eyes and didn’t know how to see. Previously, he had thought that Yuan Zhou’s grasp of Singapore dishes had already reached the acme of perfection. He had never expected that Yuan Zhou could even make his own improvements instead of inheriting the tradition. He was simply … A vile creature!
He didn’t mean to belittle him, but a beast was a beast.
Tang Lei and MA Minghui nodded hard. They were also very curious and amazed, but in this kind of occasion, unless it was asked directly, they couldn’t speak casually. Everyone present was a senior in cooking, and it would be rude if they, the juniors, spoke casually.
“It’s nothing. I’ve seen the molds for turtles in the past, and there were some problems with them, so I carved a few myself to try them out. I didn’t expect the effect to be so good.” Yuan Zhou said indifferently.
He really didn’t think it was a big deal. Even his master often checked his woodworking skills, so he had to practice from time to time. Carving a mold was a piece of cake.
However, it was like a thunderclap in opello’s group’s ears. They looked at each other and revealed all kinds of evil beasts!
“Head chef Yuan carved it himself. He even knows carpentry?” Opello licked his lips to confirm.
He wondered if he was hallucinating because he was old and had a hard time traveling.
Looking at the clear scales and the lifelike turtle shell, would you believe that he was not proficient?
At such a young age, opello was not only proficient in one skill, but also in two unrelated ones. Fortunately, opello was a man who had seen the world.
Even so, the excitement was great enough. Opello felt that he could not bear the weight of life anymore.
Of course, this was also because the information was not on the same level. Plus, Yuan Zhou didn’t deliberately publicize it. Therefore, the identities of the ice sculpting master, ice sculpting master and wine Master hadn’t been widely spread. Most of them were only spread in their own circle. Otherwise, opello would probably need an Iron Heart.
“I have a master carpenter as my teacher and learned some carving skills. In Chinese cuisine, utensils are also an important part of food, and many of the utensils used for food can be replaced with wood. Therefore, I want to learn more. There is an old Chinese saying that goes,’learn as long as you live.’ I am still young, so I can learn more.” Yuan Zhou said honestly.
Opello was completely speechless. He had been learning all his life. When he heard that from Yuan Zhou, he always gave his peers a sense of despair.
Of course, opello was not the only one who was hurt by this wave of indiscriminate attacks. Even Dehua, tangler, and the others could not help but reflect on their own life.
“Head chef Yuan is right. I also feel that the exploration of culinary arts is endless.” Opello finally said after a long time.
He finally understood. Anyway, he was born early, and he had already received all the Honors, prestige, and status that he should have. No matter how powerful the waves behind were, they could at most wash away the marks left by the waves in front, but they would never be able to erase these marks.
Thinking about it this way, he felt a little calmer. As expected of the National treasure chef of Singapore, he was so steady.
In the following time, Yuan Zhou and opello had an exchange of Singapore dishes with these beautiful and exquisite pastries. In the beginning, Dehua li could still interrupt from time to time, which was much better than Tang le and MA Minghui who could only take notes madly from the beginning.
Time passed by minute by minute. Opello didn’t forget why he came to China in such a hurry. He inquired about ju man Li and the others and also talked about the exchange with China. Yuan Zhou wasn’t sure about other things, but he felt that it was okay to exchange food culture with Singapore.
Although a lot of it had been passed on from Huaxia, many changes had occurred over time, and communication and integration were beneficial for both sides.
However, he was not the president of the chef’s Association, but the president of the China famous chef’s Alliance. Therefore, in his name, he proposed to opello that they could hold an exchange event for the Asian famous chef’s Alliance.
Opello happened to be the Vice President of the Asian chef’s Association, so he had this right. Therefore, in addition to the cooking exchange, the two of them had a series of discussions about this exchange event.
Time passed very quickly when there were serious matters to do. Soon, it was time for Yuan Zhou to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
“I’m really sorry. Our restaurant will be open for business in a while, so I need to make some preparations. We can talk next time. I wonder if head chef opello has time.” Yuan Zhou shut his mouth, still not satisfied.
He was very interested in opello’s new understanding of some Singapore dishes because Yuan Zhou felt that it would be very helpful for the formation of his Yuan dishes. Therefore, he couldn’t help wanting to chat with opello for a while.
“It’s fine, it’s fine. We’ve wasted too much of head chef Yuan’s time. If you don’t mind, we would like to come again tomorrow afternoon. What do you think?” Opello naturally couldn’t bear to give up such a great opportunity to communicate with Yuan Zhou.
Today’s exchange had helped him a lot with his new dish, so it would definitely be more than he could ask for.
As for Tang le and MA Minghui, who had been in the background all this time, they didn’t come in vain. Not only did they take down a lot of notes, but they also almost finished drinking their tea and didn’t leave a single piece of cake. They ate it with great pleasure.
Only after sending opello and the others away did Yuan Zhou have some free time.
“System, my little comrade, you’ve been doing a lot of missions lately. I’ve already completed three of the master level missions, and there’s still a fourth level. What’s the main mission for this fourth level?” Yuan Zhou said in the heart.
It had been a while since the last main mission had been issued, so he was not used to it all of a sudden.
