Chapter 1560: Simple ingredients and names
“The vegetable dish for lunch is stewed bean sprouts.” Yuan Zhou’s voice sounded in the spacious banquet hall.
Obviously, Yuan Zhou was teaching the master. As a master, he was quite responsible.
“Yes.” Master Cheng answered loudly.
Yuan Zhou didn’t respond to master Cheng. Instead, he started to process the bean sprouts by himself with great concentration.
Speaking of green bean sprouts, it was really a simple ingredient. Not to mention other things, it was easy to get homemade food.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn’t explain how to grow the bean sprouts. After all, it was very basic, but the processing of the bean sprouts was more difficult.
First of all, they all had roots of different lengths, and the length and thickness of the buds couldn’t be the same. After all, they were not automatically cultivated by the system.
The first step that Yuan Zhou had to do was to carefully select the bean sprouts that were of the same length and thickness.
This job sounded simple and even sounded very simple to do. However, one should not forget that Yuan Zhou was going to cook a banquet meal for 200 people. The amount of bean sprouts required for that was a little terrifying.
However, Yuan Zhou first looked at the large area of bean sprouts in front of him seriously without the slightest anxiety.
The bean sprout in front of him grew in a long, two-fingers-wide wooden box. The wooden box was dark in color and looked moist. The White roots of the bean sprout at the bottom were entangled together, and a white sprout grew on top.
Each sprout had two small, light yellow leaves on top of it, and they were trembling slightly from the wind caused by the opening cloth.
After the observation, Yuan Zhou held a huge flat bamboo basket in one hand and quickly picked up the bean sprouts in the long box with the other hand.
Every time, Yuan Zhou would draw the bamboo very quickly. He quickly picked it up and put it down. In a short while, the bamboo winnowing basket was filled with a layer of green bean sprouts.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the bean sprouts were arranged in rows, and each one of them was exactly the same in length and thickness.
Even the tangled roots were now obediently lying in one direction.
Even though Yuan Zhou was very fast, he had only sorted the bean sprouts when people started to enter the banquet hall.
They must have realized that today was the last day, so they came here more than 10 minutes earlier than yesterday. Just by looking at the time that they came here earlier than yesterday, one could tell that these people attached great importance to Yuan Zhou.
One must know that the big boss waking up at four in the morning to deal with documents was no joke. It was real.
Not to mention other people, even among the people Wu Yungui called, the last to get up was like Maitreya Buddha, old Zhu. He got up at FiveO’ clock.
As for what he was doing up so early? Of course, it was to deal with work-related matters. In the past few days, they had been very active in dealing with all the matters in the morning so that they could enjoy Yuan Zhou’s delicacies with ease.
And today, they had handled it even faster just to come over as soon as possible, and there were quite a few guests who thought the same.
As a result, today’s guests arrived more than ten minutes earlier than yesterday.
It was not even eighto’ clock yet when everyone had filled the banquet hall.
At that time, the culinary arts Exhibition naturally hadn’t started yet. Therefore, except for those reserved big shots, those slightly younger chefs had already surrounded the partition to watch Yuan Zhou.
“Yuan sang is really amazing.” Dashi xiujie praised her seriously while watching her. His posture had almost surpassed the position of Tang Xi’s number one fan.
“No matter how much you praise him, he’s still my master.” Master Cheng glanced at dashi xiujie discreetly and snorted coldly in his heart.
While master Cheng and dashi xiujie were secretly competing with each other, Yuan Zhou had already started to make tea. That’s right. The breakfast prepared by Yuan Zhou today was Cantonese-style morning tea.
The morning tea was naturally matched with the tea. However, Yuan Zhou didn’t prepare the tea, but herbal tea.
Herbal tea was the common name for traditional herbal drinks, and Cantonese herbal tea was the representative of traditional herbal tea.
Today, the weather in Chengdu was hot and the air was humid, so it was very suitable to have a sip of herbal tea.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou’s breakfast appeared with a combination of Cantonese breakfast, dessert, and herbal tea.
The warm herbal tea didn’t feel hot when it entered their mouths. Instead, it had a kind of refreshing air. The desserts that just entered their mouths had a rich taste and texture. This made the guests present instantly sigh.
There was a feeling of comfort all over his body.
“What’s this? It’s very comfortable to drink. ” The politicians asked one after another.
“This is the traditional herbal tea Guangzhou, China. It’s very common,” He Zhenghong was well-versed in posturing and said in a light tone.
“I see. I feel that my mind is very clear after drinking it. It’s more refreshing than coffee.” The Prime Minister of Fiji praised.
“This coffee is different. Look at head chef Yuan’s pot. It’s brewing this herbal tea. This herbal tea can be drunk when it’s cold. It’s not as stimulating as coffee and is more mild.” Zhou Shijie explained while sitting at the side.
“That’s right. This thing is very common. We’ve been drinking this for a long time. It’s all from our ancestors.” Department head Hao’s tone was very calm when he mentioned the ancestor, but he looked very proud.
This sentence instantly made the politicians at the scene speechless. It didn’t take long for the Prime Minister of Fiji to speak again.
“The weather is hot in our country. I think this is very suitable for our country’s weather. Maybe we can talk about the future?” Prime Minister Fiji looked at Minister Hao with anticipation.
“Of course, our country has always adhered to the policy of mutual assistance and friendship.” Department head Hao replied with a smile.
Then, the politicians of other East Asian countries were unwilling to fall behind and began to discuss cooperation with Minister Hao.
He Zhenghong, who was at the side, helped to drum up some support from the side. As for Zhou Shijie and the other big bosses of the chef’s Association, they answered questions about ingredients and culinary skills habitually.
It was just a habit. In the past few days, these politicians had already secretly reached many agreements that were originally intended but had not been confirmed. Even some new intentions had also come up with preliminary plans. And all of this was because of Yuan Zhou.
Not only did these politicians realize cooperation between countries, but the big shots there also realized many cooperation with Wu Yungui.
It could be said that Wu Yungui had also gained a lot this time, all thanks to Yuan Zhou’s personal cooking exhibition.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t know that. After he finished the breakfast, he started to prepare lunch.
On the last day, the theme chosen by Yuan Zhou was Cantonese cuisine. However, Cantonese cuisine was well-known for its grandeur, ingredients, and taste. Therefore, Yuan Zhou naturally needed to prepare well in order to put a perfect end to this cooking exhibition.
The lunchtime arrived very soon. Yuan Zhou first carried the first appetizer to the table, which was the stewed green bean sprout that Yuan Zhou had been preparing for the whole morning.
The name was simple, and the ingredients were simple, but the word “stew” was not so simple in cooking.
Soon, plates of green bean sprouts on dark brown wooden utensils were served by beautiful waiters.
