2610 Progress in cooking
With Yuan Zhou’s current culinary skills, he was no longer the rookie of culinary skills. The knowledge points given to him by the system would no longer stop at the stage of absorption and proficiency. It would directly add in his own understanding and become more integrated and thorough.
Even though Yuan Zhou’s current cooking level was already quite excellent, the time he took to learn new cuisines was almost the same as before. Some of them might even take longer. This was because he needed to combine the knowledge points provided by the system with his current cooking skills to find a path that belonged solely to him.
The road was quite narrow, as if there would be no way to walk if one didn’t pay attention. However, the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou gradually had their own style.
Every chef had their own habits when they cooked. Habits and styles were two completely different concepts.
The former was a preference that everyone would have. After all, their hearts were biased. The latter was a path that they had to take if they wanted to form their own faction.
To be honest, it seemed to be very late for Yuan Zhou to form his own style with his current culinary skills. However, that wasn’t the case. There were only a few chefs in history who could form their own style. Those who could were all famous in history. Moreover, most of them had just set foot on this path and had such conditions. Moreover, their culinary skills were not as excellent as Yuan Zhou ‘s.
Yuan Zhou himself was standing on the shoulder of a giant. Therefore, if the starting point was high, the requirements would be even higher. When Yuan Zhou was an intermediate chef, he could already sweep away all the other chefs in the cooking world except for the senior chefs. Now that he had become a senior chef, it could almost be said that he had swept away the entire Chinese cooking world. When one’s craftsmanship was high, it was much more difficult to find one’s own path from it than to find one from scratch.
With the profoundness of Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship and his serious attitude towards cooking, he had also set foot on his own path. Several more dishes were added to the yuan family’s private kitchen on the menu.
To be able to obtain the system’s recognition, it was definitely beyond the current market level. It was also a species that had never appeared before, which showed the degree of difficulty.
For example, although Liao wenkai’s ocean’s Pearl was originally invented by him, with the popularity of this dish, it was not only Liao wenkai who had made it, but many other chefs had also learned from him, and some had even added their own improvements.
But today, Liao wenkai’s eyes were opened.
Originally, after he finished cooking the Ocean Pearl, he had already perked up his spirit to watch Yuan Zhou cook this dish once. However, when he really saw it with his own eyes, he realized that it was not enough. He really wished his parents had more pairs of eyes. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be enough at all.
“Just based on his deft and elegant appearance, it would be more believable to say that head chef Yuan was the inventor of this dish.” Liao wenkai praised.
He didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He also learned a lot of knowledge from it. He could make improvements to it and become a second generation Blue Pearl of the ocean.
Of course, as the exchange went deeper, Liao wenkai realized that he had indeed made a mountain out of a molehill at the beginning. He had thought that this was Yuan Zhou’s full strength when he saw a corner of the Cang Mountain. Later on, he found that it was just a drop in the ocean. Having such a feeling was just an illusion of ‘being in the mountains by fate’.
“Thank you, head chef Yuan. I’ve really learned a lot today. I didn’t expect head chef Yuan to have such a deep understanding of vegetarian dishes.” Liao wenkai said sincerely.
He couldn’t help but admire Yuan Zhou. No matter which sect he chose, Yuan Zhou was able to cook all of them with ease. Compared to him, Yuan Zhou was much more brilliant. Moreover, Yuan Zhou had also received a lot of inspiration from the monastery’s vegetarian dishes today. Therefore, he was very grateful.
He was a cooking fanatic, not an idiot. Naturally, he had to return the favor after he had obtained the benefits of others. Therefore, he communicated with Yuan Zhou about some of the skills of the monastery that he had inherited without reservation.
It wasn’t that Liao wenkai could casually pass on his inherited skills to others or that he didn’t respect the inheritance, but rather that Yuan Zhou was too abnormal. People always said that geniuses could draw inferences from one example. However, when it came to Yuan Zhou, even drawing inferences from one example was a light punishment.
Almost as soon as Liao wenkai talked about some simple skills that could be passed on, Yuan Zhou could grope out half of the deeper level of the previous secrets that couldn’t be passed on.
If Yuan Zhou was given more time, he might have figured out something more advanced than the one he inherited. Therefore, there was no need to hide it anymore.
Just as Liao wenkai had expected, when he told Yuan Zhou about the inherited skills, the things he got from Yuan Zhou were even more valuable than what he had told others.
Overall, it was definitely Liao wenkai who had gained a big advantage, so he felt a little guilty about the things that were spread out. After all, the value was not equal.
“Today, I also learned a lot of techniques of the temple’s vegetarian dishes. Thank you for your explanation, master Liao.” Yuan Zhou said courteously.
Ever since he got together with Yin ya, Yuan Zhou had become more and more humane. At least, he could say some polite words, which was better than his previous deadpan manner.
Of course, he was still as serious as ever when it came to cooking. After sending Liao wenkai off, Yuan Zhou saw that there was still some time left, so he immediately went into the kitchen and practiced the little skills he had obtained before. He even integrated them into his own understanding.
While Yuan Zhou was busy practicing his cooking skills, Zhan Changfa and the others were also full of energy and passion. They couldn’t wait to set off.
“Ta ta ta.”
The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard. Not long after, two figures, one thin and one fat, appeared in the hotel lobby. They were Xiang Yang and Wu kun.
This scene was very similar, almost the same as when they were in Fuzhou. The only difference was that Zhan Changfa wasn’t alone, but three people. Three?
The two of them, who were in a hurry and almost couldn’t stop in time, suddenly stopped. What was going on? didn’t they agree that the three of them would go together today?
Xiang Yang and Wu kun were a little puzzled. They hadn’t seen Chairman Zhan for a few days. Five days ago, they and Gu Xun of Shanghai cuisine had officially held an apprenticeship ceremony under Yuan Zhou. Therefore, they were very busy.
Every day, they had to complete the tasks assigned by Yuan Zhou. For the date today, they had tried their best to complete the tasks ahead of time while maintaining the quality. But why was it different from what they had agreed on?
Xiang Yang’s serious face became even more serious. It was a sign of his thinking. On the other hand, Wu kun, who was more lively, was winking at Zhan Changfa, trying to express what was going on with his eyes and nose.
An old man who was around the same age as Zhan Changfa, who had been standing behind him calmly, said,””No need to ask the President. Let me tell you. We’re going to master chef Restaurant together.”
This was the Vice President of min cuisine, Qu Yun. He and President Zhan’s Secretary, little Wang, had arrived in Chengdu late at night on the day President Zhan and the others left.
After that, as the Vice President and Secretary, they naturally had to follow Zhan Changfa. Because Xiang Yang and Wu kun quickly became his Masters and had their own things to do, although Zhan Changfa went to master chef Restaurant for dinner every day, there were only three of them. However, they were no longer the three of them from before.
However, today was the day that the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup could be eaten. No matter how busy they were, they would not forget about it. Therefore, they had already made an appointment with the president to eat it last night.
Everyone ordered one serving, one serving each. There were only three servings, and it was obvious that they didn’t have enough for themselves. Thus, they tacitly agreed not to bring Qu Yun and the other two along.
