When Chu Xiao appeared in front of them, these people immediately stopped their discussion and began to greet Chu Xiao.
After all, Chu Xiao's status and reputation were much higher than theirs, or it could be said that his cooking skills were much better than theirs, and he was also much younger than them.
This group of five people all looked to be over 35 years old, not as young as Chu Xiao, who was not even 28 years old.
"Hello, Chu."
"Chu, what do you think of the ingredients this time?"
"What does Chu think of the food this time?"
"Nice to meet you, Chef Chu."
One by one, they greeted Chu Xiao warmly.
As soon as they greeted him, Chu Xiao immediately recognized the person who said Chinese food syndrome just now. It was the brown-haired man who looked to be over 40 years old.
He was also wearing a black suit and looked quite friendly with a smile on his face. At least, he was very friendly and modest to Chu Xiao in front of him.
"Chinese food syndrome?" Chu Xiao smiled and said straightforwardly.
"No, no, no, Chu Xiao, you misunderstood. We didn't mean that just now." The person next to the brown-haired middle-aged man immediately stood up and explained.
How could these people not know that Chu Xiao heard their conversation, but because of Chu Xiao's identity, they quickly explained.
"Then what do you mean?" Chu Xiao asked with a very friendly smile.
"You misunderstood, we didn't mean that." Because they heard the exact words, these people could only repeat this sentence repeatedly.
It was not that they were making a fuss, but the term Chinese food syndrome was a kind of discrimination.
In 1968, a Chinese American doctor named Ho Man Kwok published a short article in the New England Journal of Medicine. He described in a literary tone that after he went to a Chinese restaurant, he suddenly had symptoms such as limb numbness, throbbing, and weakness. He speculated that it might be caused by the addition of MSG in Chinese food.
After that, the largest MSG manufacturer in Japan, Ajinomoto, immediately announced that there was no problem with MSG itself, and the main reason for the "MSG syndrome" was that the amount of MSG used in Chinese restaurants was too much. Thus, MSG Syndrome was given a new name — Chinese Restaurant Syndrome.
Because of this incident, it caused a strong chain reaction in Europe and the United States, causing a large number of foreign Chinese restaurants to be in a slump.
Even though there was no evidence, many people believed that it was caused by Chinese food. Therefore, it was not called Chinese food syndrome, but Asian discrimination, or discrimination against Chinese food.
Due to the efforts of the country and the people in recent years, people rarely mentioned such words in public, let alone at a banquet hosted by a famous chef like Ogyust.
This was not a good thing. After all, Ogyust was a famous chef. He was very curious about Chinese cuisine. He once said that the high-end Chinese cuisine was not inferior to French cuisine.
The brown-haired man slapped both Ogyust and Chu Xiao in the face.
Seeing that these people could not explain anything, and the brown-haired middle-aged man was only a little embarrassed but not regretful, Chu Xiao opened his mouth.
"It doesn't matter if your cooking skills are bad, and it doesn't matter if your character is bad. But I didn't expect that you didn't even read the statements of the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations at the 23rd conference and the United Nations. You don't even have the most basic knowledge. I think you really don't deserve to be a chef, and you don't deserve to stand here and participate in such an event." Chu Xiao stared at the man like an eagle and said seriously.
"You!" The brown-haired middle-aged man was so angry that his face turned red and white, and he couldn't say anything for a while.
But because of Chu Xiao's ruthless words and strong aura, the four people beside him didn't dare to interrupt for a while.
Moreover, Chu Xiao was with Ogyust just now, so the people beside him slowly turned their eyes to him.
Feeling so many people were staring at him, the brown-haired middle-aged chef was shocked and immediately realized that he couldn't admit defeat now. If he did, his career as a chef would be ruined.
He had to bite the bullet and fight back.
With this thought in mind, the brown-haired middle-aged chef calmed down and put on a firm expression. "If it weren't for the MSG addiction, they wouldn't have stayed in China. They are the three youngest and most powerful chefs in France."
That's right, the brown-haired chef was going to stake everything on one throw and directly point out the discrimination. In this way, he could also win the favor of those chefs who already discriminated against Asians.
"And the chef named Yuan Zhou must be very good at using MSG to make people addicted." The brown-haired middle-aged chef thought of what his friend had said just now and deliberately brought up Yuan Zhou as an example.
In today's information age, it was inconceivable to hear such ridiculous remarks. But what was even more ridiculous was that there were many people who had the same prejudice as the brown-haired middle-aged man.
The brown-haired middle-aged chef looked at Chu Xiao fiercely, but Chu Xiao just turned his head and said to the waiter beside him lightly, "Bring me a projector."
"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter immediately nodded and turned away.
"Oh? What happened, Chu? "Ogyust walked over with a group of people and asked.
"Nothing serious. I just want to prove my culinary skills." Chu Xiao said lightly.
"Then I can also broaden my horizons." Ogyust smiled.
"No problem. You will be amazed." Chu Xiao said confidently.
"Let's wait and see." Ogyust nodded.
The group of people chatted among themselves just like that, completely ignoring the brown-haired middle-aged chef and his companions at the side.
The brown-haired middle-aged chef was both embarrassed and angry. Just when he was about to say something, the waiter came over with the projector.
As it was an open-air banquet held in the farm, there was a background wall at the rostrum. And Chu Xiao planned to place the projector there.
"Thank you." Chu Xiao nodded slightly to the waiter and then took out his phone and said, "Please connect me to my phone. I need to use it right away."
"Yes, sir." The waiter took the phone carefully and then went to play with it.
During the process, Ogyust had been looking at Chu Xiao with great interest, waiting to see his surprise.
And Chu Xiao's attitude towards others, and even his kindness towards the waiter, deeply stimulated the brown-haired middle-aged chef.
After all, Chu Xiao despised and ignored him.
"Chu, although your culinary skills are top-notch, you can't …" The brown-haired middle-aged chef couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted.
But before he finished, he was interrupted by Chu Xiao, "Watch carefully. There is only one person among you who can achieve such knife skills, and that person is me."
"Now, let's see the knife skills of Chinese chef Yuan Zhou." Chu Xiao said and directly began to play the video.
Chu Xiao's words were powerful and firm. Even Ogyust at the side couldn't help but frown and then looked at the projection.
That's right. The waiter had already prepared the projection. And what appeared on the projection was the knife skills of Yuan Zhou in the culinary exchange, and it had already begun to play.
