"Moreover, he's younger than me," Chu Xiao sighed.
"That's impossible." Gabriel didn't believe it.
A Chinese chef who was better than Chu Xiao? Gabriel was sure of it. After all, although Chu Xiao was one of the top chefs in French cuisine, he wasn't the best.
Some of the older generation were even more perverted in their pursuit of taste and details. Of course, there were still some people who were better than Chu Xiao, but not by much. It could even be said that they were better because they were older and had more experience.
Therefore, after hearing Chu Xiao's high evaluation, Gabriel's first reaction was that he didn't believe it. Such a person was probably not a genius but a monster.
"That's the truth," Chu Xiao said affirmatively.
"So he was the one who came up with Sweet Water Noodles?" Gabriel asked tentatively.
Chu Xiao was a creative French cuisine chef and often came up with new dishes. Therefore, Gabriel thought in this direction.
"No." Chu Xiao shook his head. "Sweet Water Noodles is a very famous local specialty snack in Chengdu City of Sichuan Province. It got its name because it uses duplicate soy sauce and has a sweet taste."
"That's good." Gabriel heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, after eating the Sweet Water Noodles, Gabriel's prejudice against Chinese cuisine was reduced a lot, especially in front of Chu Xiao. He really couldn't take it seriously and thus his attitude became milder. However, he was still traumatized by the bad Chinese cuisine he had eaten.
"But if he were to make this Sweet Water Noodles, it would be 10 times better than mine in both taste and texture. It's equivalent to my signature dish," Chu Xiao said straightforwardly as he recalled the taste of Yuan Zhou's dishes.
"But …" Gabriel still wanted to say something but was interrupted by Chu Xiao.
"Since you've tasted the new dish, it's time for you to leave," Chu Xiao said with flagging interest.
"Uh …" Gabriel was a little speechless, but he still said, "Alright."
"Thank you for your Sweet Water Noodles, Chef Chu," Gabriel said.
"You're welcome." Chu Xiao waved his hand and asked someone to send him off.
Chu Xiao was indeed not interested in Gabriel, because he had never been too interested in his defeated opponents.
If he hadn't started to despise Chinese food and his motherland, he wouldn't have bothered to do this, but since he had already conquered it, there was nothing more to say.
Speaking of Yuan Zhou, Chu Xiao wanted to know if Yuan Zhou had any new dishes recently.
It had always been Chu Xiao's style of doing things. After instructing Phil to clean up the dining table, he went straight back to his office to make a call.
Far away in Chengdu, Huaxia, it was 10: 00 in the evening, the time for dinner and the time for the pub to open.
Yuan Zhou was reading a book on Cantonese cuisine. He held a knife in his hand and felt the subtle differences between chopping vegetables.
That's right. Actually, every cuisine had different requirements for knife skills, and Yuan Zhou was trying to get a feel for these differences.
"Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling" The same old ringtone sounded.
Yuan Zhou waved the knife for the last time, then he opened the drawer and took out the phone from inside.
"Chu Xiao?" Yuan Zhou looked at the phone, then he picked it up and said, "I'm Yuan Zhou."
"Thank you for the menu," Chu Xiao said.
"Equivalent exchange, there is no thanks or no thanks," Yuan Zhou said methodically.
"Indeed, do you have any new dishes in the near future?" Chu Xiao asked directly, "I will pass by Chengdu soon."
"Not yet, but there will be a refreshment meeting in the near future." Yuan Zhou understood Chu Xiao's passing and said directly.
"In that case, my time should be just right," Chu Xiao said.
"Indeed." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"What's the specific time?" Chu Xiao asked.
"I haven't confirmed it yet, but it will be soon. It will be hosted by Engineer Cheng," Yuan Zhou said.
"I see," Chu Xiao said.
"Um." Yuan Zhou answered. After a moment of silence, Yuan Zhou said proactively, "See you at the refreshment meeting."
"Okay," Chu Xiao answered and then hung up the phone with Yuan Zhou at the same time.
That's right. The two of them could hang up the phone at the same time now.
After hanging up the phone with Chu Xiao, Yuan Zhou didn't put down the phone. Instead, he was thinking about something while holding the phone.
"Ling Hong hasn't been to the restaurant for three days. Tomorrow will be the fourth day," Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
"Do I need to make a call?" Yuan Zhou took the phone and opened the contact book. Looking at the names recorded on it, he thought of Yin Ya again.
After all, this contact book was saved by Yin Ya. Seeing these distinctive names, he would naturally think of her.
"Speaking of which, I don't know if Ling Hong has thought it through. It's not good to continue like this." Yuan Zhou recalled Ruan Xiaoqing's expression that night.
Although Ruan Xiaoqing had been indifferent since the first day when Ling Hong didn't come, today was the third day. Ruan Xiaoqing's expression became even more indifferent. Maybe she didn't care about it or something else.
But no matter what, Yuan Zhou knew it wasn't good to continue like this.
"Relationships are really complicated." Yuan Zhou sighed and put away the phone.
In the end, Yuan Zhou didn't make the call. Relationships were two different things. What he could do was to improve his culinary skills and let the food convey everything.
On the other side, Yuan Zhou hesitated for a while. But because of his culinary skills, he transferred the feeling to refining his culinary skills.
On the other side, however, there was someone who was more hesitant than Yuan Zhou. However, Yuan Zhou didn't know this person.
This person was Gabriel. Ever since he went back from Chu Xiao's restaurant, he had been immersed in a kind of emotion.
That was, he was curious about Chinese cuisine. However, he didn't dare to try it in France. Besides, just like what Chu Xiao said, he should go to Huaxia to try Chinese cuisine.
"What should I do?" Gabriel pulled his neatly groomed golden mustaches with distress.
"My culinary skills haven't been improved for a long time. If I lose points in the Michelin evaluation next time, I can't accept it." Gabriel couldn't help thinking that way.
Gabriel's curiosity about Chinese cuisine stemmed from his desire to improve his culinary skills. He was also a chef with three Michelin stars and the Michelin evaluation was held every year.
"Let's go there. Maybe I'll get something new." Gabriel's passion for culinary skills eventually defeated his prejudice against Huaxia.
That's right. As a chef with three Michelin stars who was proud of his skin color, he also had some prejudice against his own countrymen.
And he had never denied that.
"Is Tianshui Water from Chengdu, Huaxia? Let's go there for the first time. "Gabriel remembered the two words" Chengdu "mentioned by Chu Xiao and then made up his mind quickly.
As a man of action, Gabriel directly started to book the plane tickets and hotels after he made up his mind. He was very fast.
"And that chef highly recommended by Head Chef Chu. I think I'll be able to meet him." Gabriel thought to himself when he got on the plane.
