1737 The greatness of a Grandmaster
“You’re no longer the dashi-san I used to know.”
In the dashi little store, a short man in his 30s shouted at dashi xiujie. His tone contained a lot of complicated emotions. Most of them were resentful that dashi xiujie had not lived up to his expectations.
“Chizuhara-san, head chef Yuan is worthy of my respect. I will follow his guidance and walk on the path of cooking.” Dashi xiujie looked at chiyuantao helplessly.
As mentioned before, before dashi xiujie won the championship of the young chefs ‘exchange meet, he had been appointed by tengyuan Jiayuan as the top figure of Japan cooking.
After being guided, dashi xiujie had a clear understanding of his own path and began to improve the Kaishi cuisine, showing more of his leadership.
However, Qianyuan Takumi regarded dashi xiujie as his lifelong opponent. That’s right, it was the same as how Dean regarded Chu Xiao as his lifelong opponent.
Of course, whether he admitted it or not was another matter. Chu Xiao had never put di en in his eyes. As for dashi xiujie … Let’s not say the latter part of the sentence. It wasn’t easy for Qianyuan Takumi either.
Culinary skills were not comparable to writing skills, calligraphy, or paintings. This was more delicious, so they could just compete for a meal.
Under the same theme and without the enhancement of memory, it was still possible to determine the winner.
Therefore, chefs, especially famous chefs, all liked to set a target for themselves. This was not because they were young people who were Chuunibyou, but because they had motivation, which could play a good role in promoting themselves.
Zhang Ji saw Zhou Shijie as his opponent, and Wang Jike saw hang Tian as his opponent.
As the goal in his heart, of course, Qianyuan Takumi was not happy to see dashi xiujie praise a Chinese chef so much. He looked at dashi xiujie being so’ humble ‘.
This afternoon, dashi xiujie took the book “the transcript of a Grandmaster” and gave a lecture to the students of the “Kuai Shi University”.
To explain it, Kazuki University was not a regular Advanced School. It was more like a large-scale training class, and the students were all over 25 years old.
It wasn’t easy for chiyuantaku to “come out” of seclusion, so he naturally went, but then he was unhappy.
First, let’s take a look at dashi xiujie’s clip.
“The Grandmaster once said,’you can’t slack off on ingredients and cooking, or else the one who is slacked off will be the diners’. Is there any student who can tell me what you think of this sentence?” Dashi xiujie asked.
Then, many students raised their hands. Dashi xiujie picked a male student who was closest to him.
“The great Grandmaster said this in an interview with the ‘chef Jie’ food magazine. At that time, the interview reporter asked why he didn’t hire a kitchen helper. At least he didn’t have to do the cutting and washing himself.” The male student spoke eloquently. What a joke. Everyone present had a copy of ‘Grandmaster’s casual conversation notes’.
The male student continued.”From the material selection to the washing, processing, cooking, and other steps, you have to do it yourself. Only by controlling everything by yourself can you guarantee everything.”
“Very good, very well understood. However, the Grandmaster’s words have another layer of meaning.” Dashi xiujie said,”in the second half of the sentence, only the diners can be neglected. This is the biggest difference between a Grandmaster and an ordinary master chef.”
“Ordinary Masters of cooking, including me, have formed their own unique style, so when cooking, they will use their own style as the main focus.”
Dashi xiujie looked around at everyone present. There were about forty students in today’s class. Dashi’s body leaned forward and his next words seemed to include all the students.
The students also listened more seriously, with the exception of chiyuantaku.
“It’s not just the same for Japanese, French, and Italy Food. The will of the head chef is greater than the will of the diners.”
“However, it’s not the case for a great Grandmaster. While ensuring excellent standards, they prioritize their customers. I’ve always wanted to learn about this, but I’m far from it.” Dashi xiujie took a deep breath and said firmly,””But I will work hard in that direction.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a round of applause.
“Very good. We have five minutes of Q & A time. After that, we’ll talk about other things.” Dashi xiujie pulled back his emotions and his face turned indifferent again.
“Teacher,” a student asked.”May I ask if a Grandmaster really has to clean the ingredients by himself?”
“Yes, this is not just for show. I often go to the Grandmaster’s restaurant to listen to his guidance, so I’m very familiar with master chef Restaurant. There are no sous-chefs or assistant chefs. The Grandmaster is the only one in the kitchen. It’s not fake,” the chef said. Dashi xiujie said.
Hearing this, all the students were astonished. Although they had heard about this matter in the news or through other channels, they were still shocked when they heard dashi xiujie’s 100% confirmation.
Not to mention other things, among the students present, there were many who opened shops. Many of the small shops also had kitchen helpers.
Master chef Restaurant was a famous restaurant in Asia and Yuan Zhou was even more of a landmark in the Asian cooking circle.
Not to mention washing the vegetables personally, it was also a very magical thing to do every dish by himself.
“Grandmasters are grandmasters indeed. They aren’t just powerful, they’re terrifying!”
In the end, a student’s words could be considered as a conclusion. After he had explained the spirit of a master, dashi xiujie began to answer the cooking skills ‘questions.
Dashi xiujie, who had made a breakthrough in his cooking skills, already had the signs of becoming a master. Therefore, it was easy for him to answer these small questions.
Anyway, chizufuru said word by word,””Oishi-san, you are the most outstanding genius in Japan. No matter how amazing and outstanding head chef Yuan is, you will not be worse than anyone!”
“Yes, I believe in that. I’m the most outstanding genius in Japan.” Dashi xiujie nodded his head confidently and didn’t say the latter half of his sentence,”It was because only the most outstanding ones could receive Yuan Zhou’s guidance.
Hearing dashi xiujie’s confident words, chiyuantuo was delighted. This was the dashi xiujie that he knew, the dashi xiujie that everyone wanted to challenge.
However, the last sentence made chiyuantaku’s expression freeze.
“Head chef Yuan is the most outstanding genius in the world. That’s why there is no conflict.” Dashi xiujie said.
…””
“Chizuhara-san, you’ve been in seclusion in the countryside for the past two or three years, trying to find the original taste of the ingredients. I admire your spirit, but you’ve missed too many things in the past two or three years.”
Dashi xiujie said,”Qian Yuan-san, you missed head chef Yuan’s delicacies during the Asia-Pacific cultural exchange. You also missed head chef Yuan Zhou’s historic personal exhibition and his amazing roast whole cow. Therefore, you don’t know how great head chef Yuan is just by watching the news and your preconceived impression.”
Chiyuantaku opened his mouth and wanted to refute dashi xiujie. However, dashi xiujie didn’t give him the chance.
“I’m sure you didn’t read the ‘Grandmaster’s written record’ that I gave you. ” Dashi xiujie said,”that’s just right. I have something to do in China the day after tomorrow. I will definitely visit head chef Yuan then. So, chizuhara-san, you can come with me. You will know why I respect head chef Yuan so much.”
Chiyuantaku kept all the words he wanted to say in his stomach. Of course, it would be best if he could see her in person.
