After saying that, Yuan Zhou didn't stop. He directly walked to the stove behind the chair. Obviously, he was ready to start.
"It seems that Head Chef Yuan is very confident," Zheng You stood out and said with a smile.
"I don't think it's confidence. It's arrogance," Gu Shan, the leader of the Yun Province, snorted coldly.
Gu Shan was about 40 years old. He had a small mustache on his chin and clean hair. He had a medium build, but his arms looked very powerful. The obvious muscles on them could be seen.
"What dish does Head Chef Yuan Zhou plan to cook for us?" It was the relatively cautious Head Chef Yang from Qian Cuisine who asked.
"We don't know how to cook Sichuan Cuisine," Zheng You looked at Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan and said straightforwardly.
Zheng You's meaning was clear. He wanted to force Yuan Zhou to say that he would compete with Qian Cuisine and Yun Cuisine.
One ought to know that there was no rule that Yuan Zhou had to compete with Guizhou Cuisine and Yunnan Cuisine during the culinary exchange. But if Yuan Zhou said so himself, it would be easy to handle.
"That's right. Since you are so arrogant as to name your restaurant Master Chef, your Yun Cuisine should be good enough," Gu Shan said bluntly.
Yuan Zhou walked to the stove on the left unhurriedly. After choosing a stove, he raised his head and looked at the chefs.
"Probably better than you, or more precisely, definitely better than you," Yuan Zhou looked straight at Gu Shan and said straightforwardly without changing his expression.
"Ho, better than me? But you need to have the ability to be so arrogant," Gu Shan glared at him and said.
"Of course. What dish are you going to cook today?" Yuan Zhou nodded and then asked.
"You are going to cook the same dish as me?" Gu Shan was a little surprised. He even forgot to mock Yuan Zhou.
"Since it's an exchange, we can only do it if we cook the same dish," Yuan Zhou nodded and said directly.
"What a yawning toad," Gu Shan snorted and said nothing.
"My master is cooking his signature dish today, Golden Money Cloud Leg. It's also a famous dish of our Yun Province." Gu Shan didn't say anything, but a young man who looked like a disciple beside him said.
"Do you have the right to interrupt when the master is talking?" As soon as the man opened his mouth, Engineer Cheng immediately stepped forward and glared at him.
Engineer Cheng had a strong body and a fierce look on his face. The young man subconsciously took a step back. Obviously, he was a little scared.
"Are you Engineer Cheng?" Gu Shan turned to look at Engineer Cheng and asked.
"Of course." When Engineer Cheng spoke to Gu Shan, his attitude was not so fierce, but it was not good either.
"I'm Head Chef Yuan's disciple," Engineer Cheng said before Gu Shan could say anything.
This caused Gu Shan to choke on his words. Gu Shan pursed his lips and said, "Money Cloud Legs."
Only then did Yuan Zhou nod, indicating that he got it. Then, he said, "Please report the dishes you prepared this time. After two hours, we will finish cooking and start the exchange."
"Two hours? Head Chef Yuan, are you going to cook all of our dishes? "Zheng You looked around at the chefs beside him and said.
"I know you can cook fast, Boss Yuan. But we are not cooking Sichuan Cuisine," Head Chef Yang said discontentedly.
That was right. Yuan Zhou was looking down on them. One person was cooking two different cuisines, one that he was not familiar with, and the other was cooking their signature dish.
This was not just looking down on them, but directly despising them.
"Of course." Yuan Zhou nodded and did not have any desire to say anything.
"I heard that Head Chef Yuan doesn't know much about Guizhou Cuisine," Zheng You frowned and asked tentatively.
"I'm not good at it," Yuan Zhou nodded and said naturally.
"Then why are you so arrogant?" Gu Shan said discontentedly again.
"I haven't finished yet, but it's enough for me to exchange with you," Yuan Zhou glanced at Gu Shan and said directly.
While they were talking, or rather, while Yuan Zhou was talking, the remaining chefs had handed in the dishes they were going to cook today.
And Yuan Zhou also got their menus.
"You can start now," Yuan Zhou took a look and said directly after knowing what to do.
Moreover, after saying that, Yuan Zhou directly turned around and began to pick the ingredients. Obviously, he was ready to start cooking.
"This person is really arrogant. Even if he is young, he should not be so immature," Head Chef Yang took a deep breath and then said.
"It doesn't matter. He said he is not good at it. He is arrogant now, but he will know the consequences when he loses later," Zheng You said confidently.
"Yes," Gu Shan answered at the side.
"Then let's also start," Zheng You smiled and nodded to Gu Shan and then said.
"Of course. Two hours is enough for me to prepare the dishes." Head Chef Yang also nodded and then walked to a stove with his assistant chefs.
As there were a total of 13 people participating in the exchange this time, the Chefs' Alliance added another stove position in the middle of the two rows of stoves.
Originally, Zhou Shijie thought Yuan Zhou would choose this position and specially told Yuan Zhou to make it better, but obviously, Yuan Zhou didn't get Zhou Shijie's good intention.
Yuan Zhou chose the first stove on the left because it required a lot of space to cook and the seasoning and processing of Chinese dishes were complicated.
Therefore, even if the two stoves were next to each other, there was a distance of one meter to ensure that each chef could work freely.
And because it was an exchange, the remaining 12 head chefs only brought one assistant chefs each. After all, the preparation of a dish wasn't too much.
Yuan Zhou's place was very conspicuous. He brought the main ingredients in two batches according to the 12 dishes on the menu, and then everyone began to stare at Yuan Zhou.
The reporters always wanted to make a big news, so they naturally had to watch carefully. Whether Yuan Zhou won or lost, it would be a big news.
Of course, if he lost, the news would be bigger. Therefore, most of the reporters watched very carefully, waiting for Yuan Zhou to make a mistake.
The other chefs also looked at Yuan Zhou, waiting to see how Yuan Zhou would cook their specialty dish. Of course, they still didn't believe that Yuan Zhou could cook it.
Because it was necessary to consider the cooking time and the interval between cooking, the first dish Yuan Zhou cooked was Zheng You's specialty, which was called Gastrodia Elata Mandarin Duck and Pigeon.
This dish was a famous dish in your province, and the dish itself had an accompanying legend, so this dish was very famous in your province.
Zheng You was best at this dish. The shape of the Gastrodia Elata Mandarin Duck and Pigeon he cooked was like a pair of mandarin ducks playing in the water, which avoided the bitter taste of gastrodia elata very well. Besides, the broth was as clear as water, but it was rich and fragrant when drunk. The pigeon meat was fresh and tender, and the chicken meat was tender and elastic.
Yuan Zhou was holding two pigeons in his hands now. Because the pigeons provided here were all slaughtered and cleaned, Yuan Zhou still held the sharp wings of the pigeons in one hand and cleaned them carefully.
"This dish isn't as easy as it looks. It's a medicinal cuisine." Zheng You watched for a while and then snorted inwardly.
