Chapter 1692: A sudden surprise

Translator: 549690339 

A scholar should be treated with new eyes after three days of separation. Yuan Zhou, who had obtained the system for almost four years, was not the same as he was at the beginning. Even though the system had not been unlocked and eaten yet, he had still studied it to a certain extent.

To be precise, people had a little understanding of the cuisines that were more popular around the world. However, the understanding that Yuan Zhou said was not much, which was different from the normal unit of measurement.

Yuan Zhou didn’t try to be unconventional and just made several traditional sashimi.

There were six kinds of fish in total: salmon, tuna, Arctic shell, fresh squid, sweet shrimp, and conch meat.

In addition, there was a plate of sauce specially prepared by Yuan Zhou. It was placed in front of dashi xiujie.

As a traditional Japanese, Oishi was very good at eating. He first ate the Arctic shell, followed by sweet shrimp, conch, squid, tuna, and finally salmon. To put it bluntly, the order was from light to heavy. In terms of the taste of the ingredients, salmon was basically the most heavy-tasting of the sashimi.

Yuan Zhou basically just watched dashi xiujie eat and even nodded his head from time to time.

Japan was known for its strictness, and anything that passed through Japan’s concentration could no longer be simple.

Just like the most authentic way of eating sashimi, one needed to cut it with the top silk. The top silk sounded very high-end, but in fact, it meant to follow the lines.

Not only could dashi xiujie guarantee the top wire, but he could also ensure that the knife and the lines of the fish were at a 90-degree angle. Didn’t it sound a bit painful?

However, dashi xiujie did it meticulously. As for the advantage, it had short chewy lines and tasted good.

“Head chef Yuan, do you really not know much about Kimura Kazuki?” Dashi xiujie asked this question after he ate it.

“En, I don’t understand. That’s why I can only make the simplest sashimi.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

“It’s not simple at all. When we make sashimi, we have to worry about the shape or sharpness of the knife, which will affect the shape and fiber of the ingredients. Therefore, we usually have three kinds of knife shapes. However, head chef yuan can do all of them with just a single Mulberry knife.”

Dashi xiujie observed carefully and said eloquently,””It’s not just the type of knife. We also have a variety of functional knives, such as scale removal knife, bone cutting knife, shell knife, and so on. I feel that head chef yuan can use the Mulberry knife to complete all of them.”

In fact, Yuan Zhou didn’t have much insight on this point, because his knife skills were not that good. Moreover, there were many Chinese dishes. In order to not affect the taste of the ingredients, knives made of other materials might even cause the taste to change.

Not to mention other things, Yuan Zhou even invented the bean stick knife in order to not damage the fragrance of the tofu pudding.

“Of course, head chef Yuan’s cutting skills are unrivaled in the world. Therefore, it’s only head chef Yuan’s personal ability that he is able to do this.” Dashi xiujie said,”what really amazed me was head chef Yuan’s decorations and the matching of the ingredients. He also accurately used the shredded radish and purple perilla leaves. He has increased the artistic value of this dish by at least 90%.”

“Head chef Yuan, please allow me to make a bold guess with my poor cooking skills. The mint leaves on the table must have been repaired by you, right?” Dashi xiujie said.

“Yes. Actually, all the ingredients used for the plate, including the cucumber and radish, have been prepared and fixed beforehand.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head to prove dashi xiujie’s guess.

Dashi xiujie repeated a few Japanese words. As he spoke too softly and too fast, Yuan Zhou didn’t hear him clearly. However, he guessed that dashi xiujie was saying words of admiration.

Yuan Zhou’s understanding of plate presentation was already at the top of the world. In addition to that, he had just received the second volume of carving techniques, which mostly talked about plate presentation. Therefore, Yuan Zhou had already thoroughly integrated it and had his own experience.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou could now say bluntly,””I, Yuan Zhou, am the world’s number one plate presentation expert!”

No matter if it was French, Japanese or Chinese, this was the reason why dashi xiujie was so shocked.

“Speaking of which, I’m so good at plate presentation and knife skills now. I’ll go to Japan to take a look when I have time. It’s about time someone took on the title of sashimi King.” Yuan Zhou pondered in his heart.

In fact, the ingredients provided by the system were already better than those outside. In addition to Yuan Zhou’s cutting skills and plate presentation, he immediately arranged sashimi on the menu. No one in Japan could be better than him.

About ten minutes later, dashi xiujie came to his senses and started to praise the sauce again. Don’t think that dashi xiujie was making a fuss over nothing.

As an apprentice, Yuan Zhou’s sashimi could help him comprehend a lot of things.

Dashi xiujie ate up all the sashimi prepared by Yuan Zhou, including the shredded radish, ginger slices and other ingredients. There was nothing left.

Head chef Yuan, I have a request. Please agree to it. ” Dashi xiujie begged.

“What request?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“Head chef Yuan’s arrangement is to make the last two dishes. However, after eating the sashimi that head chef Yuan has painstakingly cooked, I would like to make a complete huaishi cuisine for head chef Yuan to taste.”

After dashi xiujie finished his words, he quickly added,””I will settle the ingredients myself. I won’t trouble head chef Yuan.”

Yuan Zhou nodded his head and agreed to dashi xiujie’s request. After that, dashi bowed to thank Yuan Zhou and then started to get busy.

As the pioneer of the new era in Japan, dashi xiujie still had some connections. Moreover, if there were any difficulties, he could ask for help from the chef’s Association.

Half an hour later, dashi xiujie had prepared all the ingredients and started to cook the Caishi cuisine.

Yuan Zhou’s biggest impression of huaishi cuisine was that if Qingqing was hungry, she should never choose it!

This was not to say that Japan chefs were slow, but that the view of Kaishi cuisine was born from Zen, and the highest realm was the realm of divine thought. There was no need to go into detail about this. To put it bluntly, one had to be calm.

After ordering, because they liked to choose seasonal ingredients and had a cooking process, the dishes were served in about ten to twenty minutes, and there was a five to ten minute interval between each dish. The key was that although there were many types of huaishi cuisine, they were mainly exquisite, so it was difficult to fill their stomachs.

While Yuan Zhou was still in a daze, dashi xiujie began to serve the dishes. The first dish was the first to be served.

The “first payment” was a few appetizers, similar to preserved vegetables.

Then, the “eight-inch” was yingji sushi. After that, dashi xiujie made it for Yuan Zhou. It was the most traditional and complete Caishi cuisine.

The dishes were served one after another. There were many dishes, but in fact, there were repeated dishes.

For example, steamed buns and incense were similar. They were both pickled vegetables, but the taste was different. The two were green, which was rare in huaishi cuisine.

The main course was strong beef. Dashi xiujie prepared the roast beef for Yuan Zhou. As the huaishi cuisine also had the requirement of “eat while it’s hot and eat when it’s cold”, Yuan Zhou didn’t make any comment when he ate it.

The portion was small and Yuan Zhou was also used to not wasting food. He finished all of them, including the last fruit,”water” after the meal.

After the meal, Yuan Zhou gave dashi xiujie a score of 0.4 Yuan in his heart.

Judging from dashi xiujie’s expectant eyes, he was definitely hoping for Yuan Zhou to comment on him. After a pause, Yuan Zhou prepared to say …

However, before Yuan Zhou could finish his words, the system in his brain suddenly displayed words:

“Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission: Gain the admiration of 20 Chinese master chefs 1. ”

Yuan Zhou: “???”
