Chapter 1596: Yuan Zhou’s enlightenment

Translator: 549690339 

While Wu Hai bought the house to build the gallery and Jiang Changxi was negotiating with Wu Yungui, Yuan Zhou also received a call.

The person who called was none other than Cheng zhaomei.

“Master, as you’re getting more and more famous recently, and as your only disciple, I’ve been invited to more and more activities. Some can be refused, but some can ‘t. After so many activities, I feel extremely tired, and even my mood to study dishes and cooking has dropped a lot.” Master Cheng said with a respectful and tired tone.

In fact, master Cheng was already being very modest. He was also the boss of Sichuan cuisine, so he was naturally busy with all kinds of activities.

In other words, Yuan Zhou was no longer the boss of Sichuan cuisine. He was now almost the boss of Chinese cuisine.

“What should I do, master?” Master Cheng made a call to Yuan Zhou. According to his personality of not wanting to trouble Yuan Zhou, he must have hesitated for a long time before making the call. However, he still made the call. This showed that this problem had indeed troubled him for a long time.

As for master Cheng’s question, Yuan Zhou could be considered to have a deep understanding of it. Recently, he had been holding a personal exhibition and an exchange meeting of young chefs. There were too many things that happened one after another. Although he had the help of Chairman Zhou and the others, a person’s spirit was limited after all.

It was impossible to do infinite things in a limited mind.

This was common in all circles. For example, the curse of the most famous Nobel Prize in Literature,”kiss of death.” Any author who won the Nobel Prize in Literature would either have a sharp decline in production or stop writing.

The main reason for this was the pressure of glory and the distraction of energy.

“Come to the shop tonight after dinner time.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Okay, master. Do you think nineo’ clock is suitable for me?” Cheng zhaomei asked on the phone.

“Sure,” Yuan Zhou nodded.

“Then I won’t disturb you any longer, master.” After saying that, master Cheng didn’t hang up. Instead, he put down the phone when the busy toot sounded from the other end of the phone.

“A teacher is to impart knowledge and dispel doubts.” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself and then continued to prepare the ingredients with his head lowered. Dinnertime was about to start.

As time went by, people started to line up outside. Wu Hai still deserved to be the first, Zhou Xi was the second, and peach and Jiang Changxi were the third and fourth.

“Sister Jiang, long time no see.” Man man greeted him.

“It’s been a long time indeed. ” “How’s the bakery going?”Jiang Changxi nodded and asked.

“Hehe, I have five branches in Chengdu. I’m also a rich lady now.” Man man said proudly as she gestured with her palm.

“Then should I ask a rich woman to provide for me so that I can be a lazy salted fish?” Jiang Changxi blinked her eyes and pouted her face to act cute.

“Sister Jiang, don’t be like this. You’re melting my heart.” Man man turned her head sideways, not daring to look at Jiang Changxi.

Man man’s actions had fully proved that Jiang Changxi was a cute and Queen-like girl.

“I’m just a little rich lady, how can I keep a rich lady like Sister Jiang as my mistress?” He said slowly.

They talked and laughed, and the atmosphere was as warm and harmonious as ever. This was also the usual appearance of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

Of course, there was a slight difference. In the past, Jiang Changxi liked to drive in front of Yuan Zhou and she would even weld the door shut every time.

However, ever since Yin ya and Yuan Zhou announced that they were together, Jiang Changxi had never driven in front of Yuan Zhou again. As a result, there was one less experienced driver in the restaurant.

Dinnertime ended while everyone was having fun. Master Cheng arrived in advance at 8:30 am.

Yuan Zhou was also very punctual. At around 8:50, he had already finished his work. Master Cheng, who was waiting at the door, then entered the restaurant respectfully.

“I’m going to process some ingredients. You can watch me from the side,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Understood.” Master Cheng agreed immediately and stood there respectfully. He was still preparing to take notes in his small notebook and pen out of habit.

Yuan Zhou began to process the ingredients, the radishes, the beef, and the Jin ‘Ling grass. First, he sculpted the radish into a statue of a serving girl.

Then, he washed the vegetables and cut the beef blindly. Master Cheng watched him very seriously without even blinking his eyes.

No matter how many times he watched it, master Cheng would always admire Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills from the bottom of his heart.

Every chef had one or two unique skills, such as good knife skills, good control of the fire, and good at cooking. But Yuan Zhou was different. His strength was reflected in all aspects.

Yuan Zhou cooked very quickly. Moreover, the two dishes were not on the menu. Strictly speaking, they were creative dishes.

He was also familiar with these two dishes. They were fish returning to the nest and beef sashimi.

“Let’s eat,” Yuan Zhou put the two dishes on the table and then asked master Cheng to eat.

The beef sashimi was placed on a white rectangular plate. There were no other decorations on it except for the beef slices that had been gently rubbed into a trapezoidal shape by the back of the knife.

There was also a round plate with only a small hill-shaped stir-fried Jinling grass.

In the beginning, master Cheng didn’t notice it because he was seriously recording Yuan Zhou’s key points in washing and cooking. It wasn’t until Yuan Zhou finished cooking and brought it to master Cheng for him to eat that he realized that this was the first time he had eaten Yuan Zhou’s dishes and decided to become his disciple. It was also during the rare ingredients cooking conference.

“Master, you …” Master Cheng was touched and said excitedly.

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yuan Zhou,””Sit down and try it. Your mouth is for eating today, not for talking.”

“Yes, Master.” Master Cheng immediately took two steps forward and sat down slowly.

However, he only sat half of his butt down. He straightened his back and carefully picked up the chopsticks.

It wasn’t that master Cheng was afraid of Yuan Zhou, but that he was sitting while his master was standing. Therefore, he naturally had to be more cautious.

First, master Cheng picked up the stir-fried Jin ‘Ling grass with his chopsticks. The Jin’ Ling grass was particular about its crispness, tenderness, sweetness and freshness. Master Cheng had also eaten it last time, so he naturally knew its taste.

However, this time, master Cheng knitted his brows slightly and stared at the plate with his eyes wide open.

Of course, his mouth and hands didn’t stop eating. When he was halfway through eating the Jin ‘Ling grass, master Cheng suddenly turned his head and picked up a piece of beef.

He was deeply shocked by Yuan Zhou’s blind cutting of the beef sashimi back then. Therefore, he could even remember the texture of the beef very clearly.

However, the beef in front of him looked as thin as paper in the past. It was transparent but unbreakable, and the texture was clear.

But now, the beef was just as transparent and unbreakable, and the texture was even more beautiful. No, it should be said that it was more natural, just like in the cartoon. The beef seemed to be born like this.

“Ah Wu.” Master Cheng couldn’t help but stuff the beef into his mouth. Instantly, the taste of beef filled his mouth.

The fierce and overbearing taste of beef filled his mouth as he chewed. The slightly cold texture, the Milky fragrance that burst out as he chewed, and the slight saltiness that added the finishing touch to the taste made the taste in his mouth rich and tempting.

“Where did this salty smell come from?” Master Cheng suddenly felt a little puzzled.

He only watched Yuan Zhou cook and didn’t see Yuan Zhou sprinkle salt on the beef during the whole process.

But soon, master Cheng understood the origin of the saltiness. He couldn’t help looking at his master in surprise.
