1686 Yuan Chui, the Ace of the Jie

[A real Grandmaster, such as head chef Yuan, not only does he manage everything well by himself, but he can also influence the surroundings with his own power.[Taoxi road experiences and insights]

Dashi xiujie had informed Yuan Zhou in advance that he would come here to observe. Moreover, this afternoon was the day he would consult with the Grandmaster.

A small notebook that he carried with him, a humble attitude, and a focused gaze. To put it bluntly, if even an elementary school student had this attitude, double 100 points would not be a dream.

On the way to observe, Kosen came. He should be here for the matter of yesterday’s guidance. However, after he arrived, he didn’t disturb Yuan Zhou’s sculpting. Instead, like dashi xiujie, he stood at the side in a well-behaved manner.

Not until Yuan Zhou finished sculpting in the morning did the two of them go up to him respectfully.

“No wonder head chef Yuan is known as the knife of God by our media. His knife skills are godly. He is truly worthy of the title!” Dashi xiujie said.

“Of course. Head chef Yuan has already obtained the knife King’s signboard in China.” When it came to praising Yuan Zhou, Kosen was not inferior to anyone at all.

Dashi xiujie wasn’t tengyuan. Therefore, he didn’t know much about the Chinese cooking circle. Thus, Kosen naturally explained it to him.

“It’s normal for head chef Yuan to get the knife King’s board. It’s not strange.” Dashi xiujie said after he heard that.

Kosen’s eyes narrowed. The Japanese in front of him was a formidable opponent in Yuan chuijie.

Yuan Zhou listened to their compliments quietly and didn’t interrupt them. After all, Yuan Zhou was a very polite person and wouldn’t interrupt others “speech casually.

“Thank you for your guidance yesterday, head chef Yuan.” After a round of competition with the other Yuan braggart, Kosen solemnly thanked him,”I was enlightened when I went back last night. I’m completely clear about the path I’m going to take next.”

“It’s not that I can’t make any progress in Guizhou cuisine, but that I can’t make any progress in the area I’m studying. I didn’t even master one area of cuisine, but I’m so impatient to learn another. Naturally, I’m throwing away watermelons and picking up sesame. I’m not doing well on either side.” Kosen reflected seriously.

“Well, it’s good that you’ve thought it through.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head contentedly. After all, the title of the all-knowing culinary skill wasn’t for nothing.

“I wanted to buy something to thank head chef Yuan, but I really can’t think of anything that head chef Yuan is lacking.” Kosen’s following words were extremely formal.”Head chef Yuan, if you need my help, please let me come.”

“You’re welcome. This is the reward from the young chef exchange meeting. You deserve it.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.

After that, Kosen made some small talk with Yuan Zhou. Only then did he bid his farewells and left.

Then, it was dashi xiujie’s turn to speak. He directly bowed and then said,””Head chef Yuan, is there anything else I need to prepare for your guidance in the afternoon?”

“Just bring people and hearts.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and answered.

“I understand. Thank you for your generous advice, head chef Yuan.” Dashi xiujie bowed to Yuan Zhou again and then left directly without bothering him.

Looking at dashi xiujie’s back, Yuan Zhou fell into deep thought. Did he give him any advice just now? Then, what did he understand?

Obviously, Yuan Zhou was a little confused. Of course, this doubt didn’t bother him for long, because it was time to prepare lunch.

Today was the day to cook the roast goose, so he had to be a little busy. Yuan Zhou set aside the other thoughts in his mind. After all, no time could be more important than preparing food for the customers.

On the other side, dashi xiujie, who continued to stroll in Taoxi road, found a place to sit down and then opened his notebook.

Although the phrase “bring the people and the heart” was only a few words, it represented the most important “self-confidence” of a chef, which was to bring one’s own persistence in cooking. ‘Moreover, I’m bringing it with me, not carrying it with me. This proves that the Grandmaster’s meaning is that I need to maintain a normal heart while maintaining my self-confidence and perseverance.’ [An understanding of the words of a Grandmaster]

Last night, in fact, dashi xiujie had prepared to go to bed early in the morning so that he could have enough energy.

But before he fell asleep, his brain became active on its own …

“I must not speak nonsense tomorrow. I don’t want to say the wrong thing and make the Grandmaster feel disgusted.”

“But if I don’t say anything tomorrow, will it make the Grandmaster feel awkward?”

“This won’t do. I need to get up and write an exchange form.”

Therefore, he stayed up all night writing. However, the next morning, dashi xiujie was still full of energy. Therefore, he came to Taoxi road early in the morning.

In the afternoon, after finishing his lunch hastily, dashi xiujie arrived at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant half an hour earlier than the appointed time. As the Holy Land of card-checking, Taoxi road, a tourist attraction, was still crowded with people.

Dashi xiujie stood at the door of the restaurant and waited respectfully. Seeing that, Yuan Zhou put down the book and said,””Let’s enter the shop first. “

“No need, no need. Head chef Yuan, if you have anything to do, I will wait outside.” Dashi xiujie quickly shook his head and said.

“It’s nothing important. I’m just reading a book,”Yuan Zhou said.

Dashi xiujie raised his head and took a look at Yuan Zhou secretly. Then, he took note of the book that Yuan Zhou was reading and followed him into the restaurant.

“Do you have any questions about cooking?” After bringing him to the backyard, Yuan Zhou still went straight to the point.

“Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Dashi xiujie said,”about this issue, I have also discussed it with tengyuan Jiayuan. Now there is a group of chefs in our country who will combine Western food and new food. They will establish new food.”

“But I think that Xin Heshi doesn’t necessarily need to expand outwards, but to expand inwards, after the efforts of the seniors, there is no longer a newer and wider path.” Dashi xiujie said.

“Head chef Yuan, please give me some pointers.” Dashi xiujie bent his waist and bowed. Then, he stood up and his eyes were full of expectation.

Upon hearing that, Yuan Zhou nodded his head to indicate that he understood dashi xiujie’s doubt. Then, he asked,””What do you think is the best food in Yashi?”

Dashi xiujie thought carefully for a while,””Sushi, exquisite, timely, knife skills, and the persistence in using the ingredients. I think sushi is a dish that can show a lot of Yakushi.”

“Yes.” “Have you ever eaten the revolving sushi?” Yuan Zhou asked after a nod.

Dashi xiujie was stunned. The reason was that he had never eaten it before. He had only heard of it.

In fact, it wasn’t just him. Fujiwara Jiayuan had never eaten revolving sushi before, and they all thought that revolving sushi wasn’t real sushi.

Because they were born into rich families, they had never come into contact with such food.

“You can try it if you haven ‘t.” Yuan Zhou said,”I know that the sushi made in Japan is criticized by the cooking circle. But a dish that can be passed down must have its own merits.” Yuan Zhou said objectively.

“Yes, I am.” Dashi xiujie nodded his head. Although he didn’t know why Yuan Zhou would make such an arrangement, he still nodded his head and agreed earnestly.

“The reward was supposed to be a one-time guidance.” Yuan Zhou said,”but big stone, your situation is a little special. Therefore, I temporarily divided my guidance into two parts. First, you go back to the country and eat sushi. Then, I’ll cook a table of Japanese dishes for you to eat. That will be the guidance for the second part.”

“Alright, head chef Yuan. Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Dashi xiujie bent his waist and bowed.

“Remember to find an authentic sushi restaurant.” Yuan Zhou instructed.

Then, he watched dashi xiujie leave. It wasn’t that he was deliberately mystifying or keeping him in suspense. After all, dashi xiujie had never eaten it before. It wouldn’t be enough to tell him more.

Dashi xiujie was also a straightforward person. He booked the evening ticket back to Japan that afternoon.

It could be said that the first half of the instruction only lasted for about half an hour from the moment dashi xiujie entered the restaurant to the moment Yuan Zhou saw him off.

“Well, it’s still early. I’ll practice my cooking again.” Yuan Zhou had never been relaxed when it came to himself. He directly stood up and started to prepare the ingredients to practice his cooking skills.

Time passed quickly. Soon, Yuan Zhou’s phone rang, reminding him that it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

When Yuan Zhou started to prepare the ingredients for dinner, a long line had already formed outside the restaurant. Su Ruoyan had also arrived early and was maintaining the order with the people of the queuing Committee.

Nowadays, people who cut the line in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were as rare as a Phoenix Feather or a Qilin horn. However, su Ruoyan still learned from the queuing Committee very seriously every time.

When it was almost time to open, su Ruoyan organized for everyone to collect their number. After collecting their number, it was almost time to open for business.

Su Ruoyan looked at the time seriously. Then, in the last ten seconds, she said,””The opening hours have arrived. Customers with the first 16 numbers, please enter the restaurant for your meal.”

As soon as he finished speaking, it was dinner time.

“There’s actually no dessert this afternoon. I’ll have to eat more tonight.” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and walked into the restaurant quickly.

It was obvious that he had practiced his speed, so the little girl in second place couldn’t keep up at all.

That’s right, the second place today was a little girl that he didn’t know, not one of those regular customers.

The little girl, Shu Xin, looked to be only 20 years old. She had a low ponytail and wore an ordinary blue floral dress. She looked gentle and graceful, with a tender face.

Seeing Wu Hai run so fast, she immediately felt a little embarrassed and a little anxious, so she also took two steps to catch up with him.

It was as if he was afraid that he would affect the others if he walked too slowly.

When the little girl Shu Xin entered the restaurant, Wu Hai was already sitting at the seat closest to the partition. The little girl hesitated for a while and then walked to the corner of the curved long table and sat at the seat furthest away from the partition.

The other customers didn’t choose their seats at all. They sat down as soon as they saw an empty spot. Of course, they didn’t miss the two standing spots either.

After all, all the seats in the restaurant would be full if it was the first time for a customer. Or rather, all the seats in the restaurant would be full during the business hours. It was also said that no one was allowed to eat outside of the seats. Otherwise, there would be no place for people to sit in the restaurant.

Shu Xin was sitting far away from Wu Hai. Su Ruoyan ordered the dishes according to their seats. Therefore, Wu Hai ordered first and su Ruoyan was the last.

Before su Ruoyan arrived, Shu Xin had already finished looking at the menu, but she was still not sure if the dishes she ordered were there.

As Yuan Zhou learned more and more cuisines, the menu had been improved. Except for the main cuisines of the cuisines, all the other cuisines could be summarized as “wait”.

This included the desserts that came with the cuisines, so Shu Xin didn’t see the dishes she wanted to order.

“Hello, what do you want to eat today?” Su Ruoyan’s standard question rang in his ears.

“Well, well, I want to ask if boss yuan can cook all Jiangsu dishes, including the snacks?” Shu Xin’s face was slightly red and she asked in embarrassment.

As Shuxin felt that she was doubting Yuan Zhou and she had long known about Yuan Zhou’s reputation, it took her a lot of courage to say that.

“Yes, everything written on the menu is real. Our boss knows how to cook anything that’s written on the menu.” Su Ruoyan said firmly.

If it was the first one or two months, su Ruoyan would have been a little uncertain when she said that. But now, she had already blindly believed in Yuan Zhou.

Even if Yuan Zhou said that he would cook the Dragon meat feast in the future, su Ruoyan would also say so to the customers without any hesitation.

This was also one of Yuan Zhou’s charm, because Zhou Jia, Shen Min and mu Xiaoyun who left the restaurant were also like this.

“Then, then I’ll order rotten noodles first. It can also be called rotten du noodles, or rotten paste noodles. Is that okay?” Shu Xin said carefully.

“Of course. It’s a specialty snack from Suzhou.” Shu Xin added.

Shu Xin listed out a few names in a row. Su Ruoyan nodded and said,””Wait a minute. I’ll ask the boss how much it is and if it can be made today because some dishes need to be reserved.”

“O-okay, sorry for the trouble.” Shuxin nodded her head and then looked at Yuan Zhou in the kitchen with an expectant look.

Shuxin had ordered this many times, but she had failed every time. That was why she cared so much about Yuan Zhou’s answer.

“Boss, can I make the rotten or rotten noodles today?” Su Ruoyan asked directly.

“Sure, but you’ll have to wait for 20 minutes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head. When he said he would wait for 20 minutes, he looked at Shuxin, obviously asking for her opinion.

“No problem. No problem. Thank you, boss Yuan.” Shu Xin’s tender and fair face immediately showed a smile of relief and nodded repeatedly.

“Alright, a serving of mushed noodles. 61 Yuan. Please wait a moment.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Yes, I’ve already transferred the money.” Shu Xin raised her phone and said to Yuan Zhou through the display.

“Please wait a moment.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Obviously, the reason why Shuxin acted so fast was that she had already scanned the QR code and was waiting for Yuan Zhou to nod so that she could pay.

“That’s great, grandma. I can eat rotten noodles again. I can eat them even in Chengdu. That’s great. ” Shu Xin held her phone, lowered her head and smiled. She was very happy.

Having received the order, Yuan Zhou started to cook several dishes at the same time.

Yuan Zhou asked Shuxin to wait for 20 minutes, not because this snack was very complicated, but because it was simple and required time to cook.

There were different versions of which city in the Jiangsu Province the noodles belonged to. It was almost available in Wuxi, Jiangyin, Suzhou, and other places.

Since the young girl said it was a Suzhou snack, Yuan Zhou naturally had to make the Suzhou-style scrumpled noodles.

In fact, the origin of Suzhou’s rotten noodles had risen in an era when food was not so abundant. At that time, in order to feed the whole family, Housewives had to think hard and finally came up with the idea of burning the noodles and leaving it for a while. In Suzhou dialect, it was to let the noodles “expand”. When the fine noodles became coarse noodles, the amount of soup that had expanded into a paste would naturally increase.

Therefore, the taste of the rotten noodles was not good at the beginning. However, as people’s living conditions improved, they naturally had requirements for the rotten noodles and would add many ingredients to it.

And this was the current scrumptious noodles.
