Chapter 2001: When the small test is in progress

Translator: 549690339 

“Senior brother Zhang, you’re so serious about carrying a small notebook with you. I can also prepare one so that I can record it at any time.” Seeing Zhang Longquan’s actions, Cao zhishu pondered.

In fact, Zhang Longquan also learned it from Cheng zhaomei. Cheng zhaomei and Zhang Longquan were quite good in private and often had cooking exchanges.

Before she became Zhang Long’s apprentice, Cheng zhaomei was already a famous master chef in the circle of chefs. Her cooking skills were quite good, almost the same as Zhang Long ‘s.

But it was different now. Ever since she became Yuan Zhou’s disciple, Cheng zhaomei’s cooking skills had improved by leaps and bounds, leaving others in the dust.

Their relationship had also become that of senior and junior brothers. It had to be said that life’s encounters were sometimes very wonderful.

The disciples finished cooking one by one and brought the dishes over for Yuan Zhou to taste. The latter also tasted every dish seriously and then evaluated them.

It had to be said that these apprentices were very observant. Before the start of the mid-level test, they had asked Cheng zhaomei about the amount of food, so they only prepared a few mouthfuls of food. If possible, they did not need to cook whole fish.

The largest portion was Cao zhishu’s carp, which was about 200 grams.

“Master, how does my River Wu tofu fish taste? please take a look.”

“I have sour fish soup. How’s the taste? did the Kairi sour fish soup recorded by my master enlighten me?”

“The poached fish borrowed some of master’s little methods. Can you take a look and see if it’s suitable?”

Each of them was making a dish related to fish from their own cuisines. Of course, everyone had the ambition to choose the simplest home-cooked dish to present, so they were quite fast.

The only one left was his Little Junior Sister.

It was not arranged according to age, but Luo Qing was the only one among the 14 in-name disciples. She was loved by many senior brothers. Regardless of her age, they all called her Little Junior Sister, which was also a kind of recognition.

It should be known that there were very few female chefs, and there were even fewer female chefs who could become famous.

Luo Qing was famous for her exquisite boat layout, and her ability to make desserts was also very superb.

For this midterms, Luo Qing also made snacks, steamed dumplings with fish.

“Master, this is the steamed fish dumplings I made. Please try it.” Luo Qing was the last to bring up the steamer.

After a burst of white smoke, three white and chubby dumplings were revealed inside. They were like crescent moons and were very vivid.

“It’s a reference from the cooking method of steamed dumplings in yechun. ” Yuan Zhou took a glance at it and immediately found out what it was.

There was a wide variety of desserts in the SU family. Not only were there all kinds of pastries, but there were also steamed dumplings, steamed buns, and so on.

Among them, the most famous ones in Jiangdu were the “Fuchun steamed buns” and “yechun steamed dumplings”. They were all created in the Qing Dynasty and were desserts from tea houses.

“Yes, master, but I’ve improved it. Try it.” Luo Qing said carefully.

Yuan Zhou picked up the chopsticks and picked up a dumpling. He immediately felt the toughness of the dumpling skin. The chopsticks directly stuck into the dumpling skin and wouldn’t break it,””The dumpling skin is kneaded quite well, and the strength is quite good.”

“Ka Cha!”

After taking a bite, the first thing he felt was not the rich gravy, but a fresh and elegant taste. The fish meat and water chestnuts were mixed together. The soft and tender fish meat combined with the crisp water chestnut. In addition, Luo Qing probably added some fish slices in the process. At the end of the meal, it felt a little tough, so it was not bad.

“Next time, when you’re processing the stuffing, you can choose the position of the fish belly and add a little pork dart inside. Also, adjust the amount of water chestnuts.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Okay, thank you, master.” Luo Qing remembered everything in her heart.

“Alright, the test is over. I understand your situation. Tomorrow, I will give you the corresponding notes and tell you the direction of your future study. We will gather here at three in the afternoon.” Yuan Zhou closed the laptop in his hand, stood up and said.

That’s right. In order to teach according to the material and the situation of each disciple, Yuan Zhou had gone to great pains and directly recorded the situation down one by one.

“From now on, you can hand in your homework every month like your eldest senior brother. You don’t have to stay in Chengdu all the time, but you can’t neglect your study and practice of cooking. If you have any questions, you can come to me at any time.” Yuan Zhou said solemnly.

“I know, master.” Everyone replied in unison.

After that, Yuan Zhou guided each person according to their situation. Although the direction of study might not be the same even for the same cuisines, everyone gained a lot more or less from Yuan Zhou’s in-depth but simple explanation of the culinary arts.

Seeing everyone whispering to each other from time to time and thinking alone as if they had gained something, Yuan Zhou felt relieved in the heart.

“It seems that I have the talent to be a master.” Yuan Zhou felt that it was definitely not a coincidence that he had taught Cheng zhaomei as his disciple.

Now, these in-name disciples had also begun to flourish.

It didn’t take a long time to cook. On the contrary, they spent a lot of time discussing. Very soon, it was time for Yuan Zhou to leave. After instructing his disciples, Cheng zhaomei took him back to master chef Restaurant.

Dinnertime started on time.

As usual, nothing out of the ordinary happened during dinner time. If there was anything strange, it might be that there were a few more people wearing sunglasses and hats that covered most of their faces, looking like gangsters. However, there were even weirder attires than this, so everyone only took a glance and no longer paid attention to them.

After making the sobering set meal, Yuan Zhou began to look for his own notes that he had recorded in the afternoon, preparing to take them out and make a copy tomorrow morning.

In the past, the revision materials given to Cheng zhaomei were all original. This time, the in-name disciples were all given high-definition copies. It was not that one was biased, but there were two in-name disciples of the cuisine Department. Some revision materials must be circulated among each other. What if one disciple was given the revision materials and then the other one was given the revision materials?

This definitely wouldn’t work.

The notes prepared for the apprenticeship ceremony were the original version. It was a small book that Yuan Zhou had specially written according to the specific situation of each person that he understood.

Otherwise, how could so many honorary disciples find their own methods in the notes? however, no one had discovered this fact yet.

The morning of the second day.

“Ding ding dong Dong”

“You should be done packing, right?” Mo Xiao looked around and found that the things she wanted to bring had been packed. She looked around again to make sure.

Even Yuan Zhou hadn’t gotten up to exercise yet, but mo Qian had already tidied up the room and packed all the necessary things into the suitcase. It was evident how early he had gotten up.

Mo Zhao looked around the “tofu shop” again, then locked the door and drove to the destination with the box without looking back.
