It was not that gnawing on pork trotters was inferior to others, but the people present were either the Prime Minister or the Foreign Affairs official who received the Prime Minister. They definitely did not want the other party to see them gnawing on pork trotters.
However, how could there be any problem with Yuan Zhouâs work? for the sake of the menu this time, he had considered very carefully for a long time before deciding on it.
When Li Yanhua used his chopsticks to poke the pigâs hand, the skin and meat were separated from the bone very smoothly. The top was sprinkled with sand ginger and some sauce-colored seasoning. The contrast between the snow-white pigâs hand and the dark-colored sauce was very distinct, adding to the alluring taste.
âItâs this well-cooked?â Li Yanhua couldnât care less about the magical scene just now. He picked up the meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
The pigâs hand wasnât completely cold. It was a little warm. After coming into contact with the temperature of the human mouth, the temperature began to rise. The unique taste of the sand ginger spread in the mouth. With a little sweetness and spiciness, it matched the soft and sticky texture of the pigâs hand perfectly.
âThis taste is too good. It even has a sour taste of lemon. Itâs the best appetizer Iâve ever had. I can eat another 20 pig trotters without a problem.â Li Yanhua squinted his eyes.
He had eaten a lot of head chef opelloâs dishes, but compared to this plate of pig trotters, at least in terms of appetizing cold dishes, it was indeed inferior.
âItâs not that itâs too well-cooked, but rather, itâs his knife skill. This knife skill is too exaggerated. How did he manage to separate the bone and flesh with just one poke and grasp it just right?â Tang Lei understood as soon as he ate, but he felt that his current cooking skills were not professional enough. He could not even see the chefâs knife skills.
If Cheng zhaomei was here, she would definitely tell him,ââItâs normal that you canât see it. Even with masterâs knife skills, he might not be able to understand it even if it was 0.5 times.â
If they werenât professional chefs, the way they marveled at the miracle was to eat a few more pieces. Originally, it was one piece per person. Those who were faster would have a second piece, such as the experienced leader song. Those who were slower could only eat one piece, such as President Li Yanhua.
For the second dish, Yuan Zhou chose Sichuan cuisine and also the signature dish of master chef Restaurant, translucent beef slices. Of course, the translucent beef slices this time were different from those in the past. It was so thin that even light could be seen through it, which was only at the elementary level.
âIs this an empty plate?â Although the middle-aged man looked ordinary, his status was not low. He was one of the envoys who accompanied Li Yanhua to visit, but he was a little short-sighted.
He was talking about a very beautiful peony flower plate. An exquisite and beautiful peony was placed in the center of the plate. The green leaves and vines wrapped around the plate and were hidden at the bottom of the plate. It looked like a peony on the table, rich and magnificent.
Even Li Yanhuaâs vision of 2.0 was barely enough, let alone a short-sighted middle-aged man.
If he wasnât sure that empty plates couldnât be served, he would have asked the same question.
Tang Lei didnât want to speak anymore. He had already been amazed by his cutting skills, but he didnât expect them to improve further.
âLetâs just eat. â Tang Lei sighed and stopped thinking about learning knife skills.
After all, his culinary skills were still far from Yuan Zhou âs, even a little worse than Cheng zhaomeiâ s. Thus, it was still okay for him to watch the show with a layman.
âThis should be head chef Yuanâs signature dish, translucent beef slices.â Leader song immediately picked up his chopsticks.
Previously, when the dishes were served, they had sung the names of the dishes, mainly because they were immersed in the fragrance of the pigâs hand and did not hear other peopleâs words.
Leader song was smart and quick-witted. Even if he didnât remember the names of the four dishes, he had a rough impression of them. Therefore, he reached for the colorful petals with his chopsticks, although he couldnât see clearly where the dishes were.
The chopsticks didnât feel like they had hit an empty plate. When he picked it up, it was light and thin as a cicadaâs wing. If he didnât see a trace of meat color, he would have thought that he didnât pick up anything.
With leader song taking the lead, Li Yanhua followed closely. The others also began to move their chopsticks and quickly stuffed the food into their mouths.
Numbing, spicy, fragrant, and with a little crispness. Of course, Yuan Zhou had controlled the spiciness very well and it was all acceptable.
From the light and soft pork trotters to the fresh, spicy, and crisp translucent beef slices, it was as if the season had changed. The feast on the tip of the tongue was irresistible.
âThis tastes really good. This is a Chinese cuisine from Sichuan, right? the food in Chengdu also suits our taste.â Li Yanhua started mumbling to leader song, who was beside him.
âHead chef Yuan is the name card of our Chengdu City and also the name card of our Chinese cooking circle. His craftsmanship is outstanding, and he is worthy of this responsibility.â Leader song said exultantly.
The four cold dishes were not even enough to fill the gaps between the teeth of the people at the few tables. Although everyone adhered to etiquette, the empty plates were very eye-catching.
Yuan Zhouâs timing was quite accurate. Without making everyone feel anxious, the hot dishes were served.
The first dish was related to crab. After all, Singapore was a country that loved to eat crabs, and opelloâs signature dish was crab fried with chili.
Yuan Zhou didnât cook the stir-fried crab. Instead, he used another method to make a crab with glutinous rice.
The dishes were placed in a bowl that looked like a claypot. When they were first served, a hint of fragrance could be faintly smelled. The fragrance of wine and meat mixed together, and there was a little bit of an indescribable smell.
âThump!â
When the lid was removed, a burst of steam first appeared, followed by a strong fragrance.
âWhy does this crab look so delicious? there seems to be something underneath?â Li Yanhua said as he waved his hand. He had learned this from leader song.
The shell of the crab was easily flipped over, revealing the crab meat that was neatly arranged inside. Each piece looked almost the same size. Below it was a layer of slightly yellow glutinous rice, and the smell of rice was wafting into peopleâs nostrils.
Yuan Zhou had borrowed the principle of the pot rice to make baked crabs this time, so the taste was quite good.
âItâs soft, tender, fragrant, and full of seafood. I didnât know that crabs were so delicious.â Li Yanhua felt that he had probably eaten a fake crab in the past.
He had never felt that crabs were so delicious before. Even the slightly burnt glutinous rice had been mixed with the taste of the crab. Coupled with the soft and sticky texture, it was exceptionally delicious.
However, there were quite a few people at the table. Li Yanhuaâs speed was fast, and coupled with his high status, he didnât eat much before it was gone. He could only switch to other dishes.
For example, the yuan familyâs roasted suckling pig with a burning fragrance, once again showing the world Yuan Zhouâs top cutting skills, the fish head tofu soup with clear and white soup and tender tofu, the sweet honey sauce and the fresh and elegant Hundred Flowers fish belly, and so on.
When each dish was served, it was fragrant and the shape was perfect. After a while, the plates were clean and white.
It wasnât that someone licked the plate. After all, they couldnât bring themselves to do so. One reason was that Yuan Zhouâs culinary skills were truly superb and the sauce wouldnât stain the plate. Another reason was that the person who ate it was very careful and didnât miss even the slightest residue.
