Chapter 1948: Yuan family’s dishes: Can not be copied

Translator: 549690339 

“Little Yuan, there’s something I want to discuss with you.” Zhou Shijie suddenly thought of one thing and then became a little hesitant.

“Uncle Zhou, please speak.”

Zhou Shijie often took care of him. Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn’t hesitate to help Zhou Shijie.

“The circle of private cuisines is actually very different from Sichuan cuisines, Shandong cuisines, and Cantonese cuisines.” Zhou Shijie explained.

Private cuisines originated from deep courtyards in ancient times. In those days, high-ranking officials and tycoons “kept good chefs at home, and competition became the trend.” Then, it developed into private cuisines today, combining the advantages of various cuisines, but it did not belong to any cuisines. Therefore, private cuisines were more special in the Chinese cooking industry.

For example, the famous abalone camel hump soup of the Duan family’s dishes was an improved Cantonese dish. The private dishes were no longer limited to the cuisines and mainly had their own themes. For example, the main theme of the tan family’s dishes was “orchid in the empty Valley and Lingzhi in the dense forest.”

Most of the private restaurants were opened in Beijing, so they had their own small Alliance, which was somewhat indifferent to the China chef’s Association. Zhou Shijie’s request was relatively simple. He wanted to have a chance to have a “friendly” exchange of culinary skills with the head chefs of the private kitchen.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou got it and agreed with a nod.

“By the way, what’s the core of Yuan family’s dishes?” Zhou Shijie asked.

After a moment of silence, Yuan Zhou thought,”It was difficult to replicate, but now he paused and changed his words.””It can not be copied.”

Just four words.

“Alright,” he said. Zhou Shijie was influenced by Yuan Zhou’s spirit and thus shouted his approval.

“It can not be copied.” At the side, Chu Xiao was eating the steak silently and then mumbled these four words repeatedly.

“Compass, compass, is my roast pig ready?” Wu Hai couldn’t sit still anymore.

The dishes served had been gobbled up by Wu Hai.

“It’s done,” While saying that, Yuan Zhou carried a large tray and handed it to Wu Hai. It was a Cantonese dish,”Roasted suckling pig.

“Eh? Why does it look different from the one just now?” Wu Hai took a look and asked.

Yuan Zhou took a look at the Black Beast and answered directly,”uncle Zhou ate Yuan style roast suckling pig just now. This is the roast suckling pig of Cantonese cuisine.”

“Eh? How many more are there?” Wu Hai was instantly a little dazed.

“Yes, Yuan’s roast suckling pig and Cantonese roast suckling pig.” “Usually, the roast suckling pig we are talking about is a Cantonese dish,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Then I’ll get another Yuan-style roast suckling pig.” Wu Hai blurted out.

Yuan Zhou looked at Wu Hai’s belly subconsciously.

“Don’t worry, there’s no problem. I can eat it. You have to believe me!” Wu Hai understood Yuan Zhou’s gaze.

“Yuan-style roast suckling pig needs to be pre-ordered half a day in advance. That’s all.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“Then I’ll book the evening one now!” Wu Hai answered fluently.

“Sure.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Wu Hai’s voice was like a fuse. The customers who were originally immersed in Yuan Zhou’s superb skills woke up one after another. The new year was to reward their own mouths. Therefore, when they flipped to Yuan’s roast suckling pig on the menu and saw the price, they bought one for two or three people, or three or four people together.

As the Chinese New Year was celebrated, many people made reservations. Of course, most of them made reservations for tomorrow. There were very few people who were as eager as Wu Hai.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and noted them down.

“Little Yuan, with your current cooking skills, you should rest more when you have time. You don’t have to work too hard.” Zhou Shijie advised.

“Don’t worry, uncle Zhou,”Yuan Zhou said.

“I don’t know how many times I’ve said this, but I still have to say it. Take care of your health.” Zhou Shijie said.

“The new chef grading system will be released in March. Little Yuan, you should know that, right?” Zhou Shijie brought up another matter.

“That means there’s still a month left?” Yuan Zhou calculated and pondered for a while.

“Almost. It’s only a month and a few days.” Zhou Shijie said,”if it were any other chef, they would definitely be criticized greatly. But little Yuan, no one would dare to say anything about your reputation in the domestic cooking circle.”

Level 3 chef, Level 2 chef, Level 1 chef, technician, chef Yuan Biao, and senior technician.

It was a great honor.

“I’ll be leaving first. ” Zhou Shijie left after saying goodbye. He had also finished the food tasting and couldn’t be disturbed anymore.

As for Zhou char ‘char, who came with him, he would definitely leave with Wu Hai. Thus, he didn’t need to care about him.

After Zhou Shijie returned to the headquarters of the chef’s Association, he told Song Ming about the roast suckling pig of the yuan family.

As soon as Song Ming heard that it was a private dish improved from Cantonese cuisine, he was very interested. If it wasn’t for the conditions that didn’t allow it, he might have come to Chengdu immediately.

Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to hide the existence of his private dishes and had already served them on the menu. Therefore, with Zhou Shijie’s dissemination, more and more people in the circle of chefs knew of the existence of Yuan family dishes.

On the other side, Yuan Zhou was still not used to the days without any shop assistants.

During business hours, Yuan Zhou was always very focused on cooking. He felt that the yuan family’s roast suckling pig was quite acceptable when he saw Zhou Shijie’s reaction when he ate the roast suckling pig.

Lunchtime passed very quickly. On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the sun was shining brightly. Yuan Zhou decided to practice his knife skills.

“The new year also begins with the practice of knife skills.” Yuan Zhou started to carry the tools that he needed to practice outside.

At noon, there weren’t many people in the line at master chef Restaurant, but there were more people in the evening. Of course, there were some people who came halfway, but fortunately, it was the new year, so they still got a number. For example, Chen Wei and sister Wan went back at 30 and came back after a day.

The first thing they did was to come to master chef Restaurant for a meal. This was the first choice of all the old customers after they returned to Chengdu.

After sending off the last customer, the dinner time had also ended. Yuan Zhou quickly returned to the second floor to wash up and change a set of clothes before entering the kitchen again.

“Aunt Tong, it’ll be here soon. I have to prepare.” Yuan Zhou said.

At 30, boss Tong knew that Yuan Zhou was going to treat his customers to a free meal. Thus, she just took it as the New Year’s Eve dinner and didn’t come over. The main reason was that she didn’t really want to get involved in the affairs of the young.

Therefore, she prepared to spend the first day of the new year with Yuan Zhou. Therefore, boss Tong had made an appointment with Yuan Zhou to have dinner together on the evening of the first day of the new year.

For boss Tong’s first meal in the new year, Yuan Zhou had also carefully prepared it. A roasted suckling pig and several dishes made of tofu, a total of nine dishes, which had a good meaning and a good omen.

“Aunt Tong, you’re here. Come in and have a seat.” When Yuan Zhou was almost done preparing, he saw boss Tong enter the restaurant on time. She was always on time.

Boss Tong, who was carrying a big lunchbox in her hand, had just entered the door when she heard Yuan Zhou’s voice. She immediately revealed a smile on her face,””Happy New Year, little Yuan. This is the tofu pudding I made myself. I’ll add more dishes for you. Try it later.”

“Okay. Aunt Tong’s cooking skills must be very good. I will definitely try it later.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

After leading boss Tong to the courtyard, Yuan Zhou arranged the dinner to be served on the stone table in the courtyard.

In addition to boss Tong’s tofu pudding, there were ten dishes in total. They were all perfect and very auspicious.

Yuan Zhou and boss Tong sat down and chatted while eating.
