1815 The number one chef in Asia
“As I told you before, the number one chef in Asia, head chef Yuan, is planning to exchange culinary skills with some other chefs. I received an invitation, and I was wondering if you would be interested.” Chu Xiao said directly.
Opello was silent for a long time before he said,””I’m very curious about the chef that you’ve always admired and even couldn’t compare to. But Chu, have you forgotten the title of the best Chef in Asia? although I studied Italy Food, my nationality is Singapore and I live there. I’m also an Asian chef. “
When opello first met Chu Xiao, he was immediately amazed by his superb talent and culinary skills. The two of them were like friends despite their age. Chu Xiao came to Singapore this time to visit opello. When Yuan Zhou opened his mouth to communicate with the foreign chefs, Chu Xiao thought of him first.
“Mr. Opello, I respect your cooking skills very much. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to verify with you whenever I have a new idea about cooking. However, I still insist on the introduction that I just made to head chef Yuan.” Chu Xiao said affirmatively.
Chu Xiao wasn’t trying to make Yuan Zhou hate him, but he had firmly believed that Yuan Zhou was the number one chef in Asia. To be more precise, if it wasn’t for the fact that Yuan Zhou didn’t know many Western dishes, Chu Xiao wouldn’t have dared to introduce Yuan Zhou as the number one chef in the world.
That was true, but opello did not agree.
Opello was about the same age as ogyust. He had been taught by a famous teacher in Italy and then returned to Singapore.
Previously, they had introduced Singapore cuisine, which was a combination of the four major cuisines of Huaxia, Western, Malaya, and niangyou. In Singapore, one could basically eat dishes from all over the world, and it was known as the country of a food paradise.
Doesn’t it sound very powerful? After opello returned to China, he had been trying to create a food culture that was unique to his country. Opello was also good at cooking. He was good at Italy cuisine, Malaya cuisine, niangyo cuisine, and Chinese cuisine. He also helped new dishes to build their own characteristics.
It was not appropriate to say that opello was the best Chef in Singapore because he was already the best Chef in Singapore ten years ago. To be precise, he was a national treasure chef in Singapore.
Now, someone told him that Yuan Zhou was the number one chef in Asia. How could he be convinced? Opello naturally knew Yuan Zhou, the man who separated the China famous chef Alliance from the Asian famous chef Alliance. But how could opello be inferior? He was also the Vice President of the Asian famous chef Alliance.
“Chu, if you say so, I’ll definitely come to the exchange.” Opello replied.
“Alright, I’ll inform you when the time is set.” Chu Qi said.
“No problem,” he said. The other party agreed very quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Xiao flipped through his phone book and muttered,””This one won’t do, this one won’t do either.”
Chu Xiao knew that Yuan Zhou had participated in a nine-person exchange meeting before. Therefore, he excluded all the chefs who had participated in the meeting and turned to those famous chefs who had great fame but had never participated in the meeting. Otherwise, Chu Xiao would definitely be able to make a name for himself in France. His attitude was very good.
Yuan Zhou’s main mission was waiting for him!
Coincidentally, Yuan Zhou was studying the Singapore cuisines. When he found Chu Xiao in Singapore on the phone previously, it reminded Yuan Zhou of the new dish rewarded by the previous main mission, Master 1. At that time, he was busy promoting Cantonese cuisines and other things, so he didn’t practice it. For the sake of the exchange later, Yuan Zhou had been checking the information related to the new dishes recently.
Time went back to the afternoon when Yuan Zhou took leave. The two head chefs returned to the homestay after lunch and immediately began to argue with each other.
The two of them were old partners and old rivals. If there was anything that could be hidden from each other’s eyes, it would only be for a moment. After a long time, they would naturally notice it.
“Elder Zeng, I think you should change your habit of copying others. Don’t just do whatever I do. You’re still so childish at your age.” Li Youcai probably had a flash of inspiration and actually spoke first.
“I made the decision myself, so I’ll definitely do it. As for following the trend, it’s most likely you, old man Li, who’s meddling.” Zeng Youwei glanced at it.
“You’ve really decided?” Li Youcai straightened his face and asked seriously.
“Head chef Yuan has excellent cooking skills and a noble character. I think this is an opportunity for us to develop our Yunnan cuisine.” Zeng Youwei said solemnly.
“That’s right. During this period of time, head chef Yuan is the only one who has ever cooked home-cooked dishes to this extent, let alone those big dishes and the banquet cuisines of Yunnan cuisine. I feel like I can’t even imagine how delicious those dishes are.” Li Youcai nodded his head. He could deeply feel the gap between his culinary skills and Yuan Zhou ‘s. It was a gap that he couldn’t even see the tail lights of the car.
“It’s decided then. Master Cheng wasn’t young when he first started. I think we are still young and strong. It shouldn’t be a problem for us to learn new knowledge. After all, head chef Yuan has high hopes for us.” Li Youcai continued.
He had no idea how old the two were, and he firmly believed that they were the chosen ones.
“I agree with that. However, it’s going to be quite difficult to become head chef Yuan’s disciple.” “Chairman Cheng was head chef Yuan’s apprentice for five years,” Zeng Youwei said.”Only then did he have the chance to become his apprentice.”
“Then, let’s go back and make some arrangements first. We’ll discuss it with head chef Yuan when we come back. At that time, we’ll go to master Cheng to ask him about it. It’s not easy to have a chance to make Dian cuisine famous.” Li Youcai said with determination.
“Yes, after successfully acknowledging him as my master, guild leader Cheng will also be our eldest senior brother.” “Chairman Cheng is head chef Yuan’s direct disciple,” Zeng Youwei said.”I think it’s not bad to get an in-name disciple.”
“Indeed. After all, President Cheng is a precious gem. I’m here to book the return ticket.” Zeng Youwei started to book tickets.
The two head chefs, Zeng Youwei and Li Youcai, were very proactive. They had already agreed to go back to Yunnan in the afternoon to deal with various miscellaneous matters. After they were done, they could come back and continue learning and discussing with head chef Yuan.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn’t see the two brothers who had been eating Yunnan cuisine for many days in a row in the restaurant the next day.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t know their plans for the time being, but it was in line with his plan to promote Yunnan cuisine.
Yuan Zhou had thought about this before. He would only accept Cheng zhaomei as his disciple and this thought would never change. From the beginning to the end, he only had Cheng zhaomei as his direct disciple. On one hand, he didn’t have enough time to teach more direct disciples. On the other hand, Yuan Zhou also felt that one direct disciple was enough.
However, he could take in a few more in-name disciples. Yuan Zhou really wanted to promote the Chinese cuisines and it would be better if he could train some chefs.
“Regarding the matter of becoming an in-name disciple, we can discuss it with the president.” Yuan Zhou thought inwardly.
