There was sound in Chu Xiao's video. After all, his video was shot when Yuan Zhou communicated with other chefs.
The video was played smoothly as soon as Chu Xiao pressed it.
The noisy banquet quieted down in an instant. After all, with Chu Xiao's words just now, everyone wanted to see how this Knife Skill that they couldn't do was like.
In fact, not all foreign chefs could reach the pinnacle of Knife Skill. After all, there was a special cutting block for cutting vegetables, and foreign chefs also followed the rule of doing their own things well.
But a master chef's Knife Skill was naturally good, even if foreign chefs didn't pay so much attention to Knife Skill.
For example, Ogyust's knife skills were not bad. To give a simple example, if a customer needed 200 grams of steak and 35 grams of side dishes, the steak would be exactly 200 grams after being refined by him. The side dishes would also be 35 grams without needing to be weighed.
Precision was also one of the Knife Skill.
What was being played in the video? That was Yuan Zhou's pinnacle Knife Skill. Even Huaiyang Cuisine Master Hang Tian couldn't help but look for him to exchange pointers.
What was the pinnacle of Knife Skill? No one could say for sure. In fact, many dishes could demonstrate knife skills. For example, the squirrel mandarin fish in Jiangsu cuisine, the scalded shredded beef in Huaiyang cuisine, the thin slices of Tengchong, and even the pheasant rolls were all examples of knife skills.
Even simple things like threading a needle with tofu and cucumber in a straw raincoat could be tested on knife skills.
But Yuan Zhou didn't do that in the video. What he was cutting was beef, the thin and translucent Translucent Beef Slices.
Yes, it was cutting, not slices.
When cutting large pieces of meat, such as Iberian ham, people used a knife, which was to use a knife to carefully cut a hole, and then slowly cut a complete thin slice.
As for Yuan Zhou, he pressed the entire piece of beef thigh meat with his left hand and held a kitchen knife with a silver gleam in his right hand. He cut it straight down without any hesitation, and the strength he used was ingenious, so that the texture of the cut was clear without any gaps. The beef slices that slowly fell to the ground only had the continuous texture of the beef itself, but there was no trace of the knife cutting.
It was impossible to cut such a big piece of beef in such a way. Someone must move the knife left and right to produce the tension and then quickly cut it.
However, Yuan Zhou held the knife firmly in his hand and made a straight cut. His speed was so fast that he did not even have to squeeze the flesh to complete the cut.
The texture of the cut was also complete and beautiful. The photographer was also a veteran, and directly gave the beef a close-up.
Everyone looked at the enlarged close-up of the beef and couldn't help but gasp in unison.
"This chef's control of strength is really ingenious." Ogyust couldn't help but praise.
"There's more." Chu Xiao crossed his arms over his chest and said indifferently.
"Um." Ogyust had long since put away his slight dissatisfaction. Instead, he watched Yuan Zhou cutting the vegetables in the video seriously.
"Shua Shua Shua". The slight sound was produced when the knife touched the air, which was particularly obvious in the quiet banquet hall.
Everyone watched as Yuan Zhou didn't stop. In just a little while, the chopping board was filled with a row of beef slices. Besides, every piece was the same size and cut in the same way. The beef slices that were more than the size of a palm were piled together just like that.
However, when the camera turned to the close-up, a chef couldn't help saying, "Every piece is surprisingly the same. There's not a single extra cut mark. That's incredible."
Once someone said that, the silence of the banquet was broken again. Immediately, some people started discussing.
"I don't know if you guys have noticed that this is a complete piece of beef tendon, but the size of the tendon is obviously different. However, the meat on the chopping board is all the size of a palm. Every piece is the same."
"I've noticed it for a long time." A chef nodded his head solemnly and answered.
"How did he do it? Even a machine can't do it so perfectly. "
"Of course, a machine can't do it. Look at how this person presses the beef with different strength every time. Therefore, there's not a single cut mark on the beef. How can a machine do that?"
"His control over his strength is simply insane."
The chefs present were staring at Yuan Zhou in the video while exclaiming from time to time. Their voices weren't soft, which made Ogyust feel dissatisfied.
"Silence," Ogyust said with a voice that was neither loud nor soft. Instantly, the banquet hall became silent.
At this time, Yuan Zhou said something in the video. Chu Xiao translated in French, "This head chef Yuan said that this is a simple salad dish. The difficulty level isn't high."
Ogyust looked at Yuan Zhou's expression in the video and then at Chu Xiao's indifferent expression. He couldn't help but sigh, "China is indeed an ancient place. Either there are no geniuses, or if there are, they will definitely be top-notch."
The video wasn't long. After a while, the Translucent Beef Slices had become a finished product. It was placed on a small railing on the plate and a fire was lit underneath. The beef was dripping with the bright red chili oil and the white sesame seeds made the dish even more fragrant.
Obviously, the person who filmed the video also wanted everyone to suffer the torture of being able to watch but not eat. He filmed the entire dish from top to bottom.
Everyone present swallowed their saliva secretly.
The more skilled a chef was, the more they could tell the difficulty level of this dish and the taste of it.
Some chefs had even imitated the taste of this dish in their mouths, which was commonly known as drooling.
"No, I don't believe it. This is just knife skills. What's so important about knife skills? The most important thing is the taste." When the brown-haired middle-aged chef saw everyone immersed in the taste of the dish, he instantly broke out in a cold sweat and loudly interrupted everyone's imagination.
This sharp voice immediately brought everyone back to reality. However, no matter if the chefs present discriminated against Chinese people or not, they were even more dissatisfied with the ungentlemanly brown-haired chef. They all frowned and looked at him.
It was as if the brown-haired chef was some funny clown.
As for Chu Xiao, he didn't even spare a glance at him. Fortunately, this banquet was held by Ogyust, so he naturally had to show up.
"You not only made the mistake of being a short-sighted chef, but also lost your gentlemanly demeanor. A chef not only needs to have noble culinary skills, but also needs to be devout in culinary skills. Obviously, you don't have either." Ogyust looked at him with a face full of disappointment.
"No, no, no. Mr. Ogyust, it's not like that. It's not …" The brown-haired chef looked at Ogyust in shock and shook his head repeatedly to deny.
"I don't want to see you in my banquet in the future. Please leave immediately." Ogyust didn't give him a chance to explain and said directly.
"No, you can't do that. You can't …" The brown-haired chef immediately stared at Ogyust in disbelief.
It was known that Ogyust's expulsion was not an ordinary one. What was his identity? He was the recipient of the MOF award and had an extremely high prestige in the French cooking world. Ogyust said that he didn't want to see him in his banquet in the future, which basically cut off the possibility of him going up.
After all, Ogyust said that he didn't want to see him again. Then who would invite him in the future? No one wanted to offend both Chu Xiao and Ogyust for no reason.
Even the restaurant he worked for now would fire him after a period of time. This was the reality.
"No, I'm sorry. I apologize. I was wrong. Chu Xiao, I'm sorry." Thinking of the consequences, even if he was being held by the security guards, the brown-haired chef still called out to Chu Xiao repeatedly.
"You should apologize to him." Chu Xiao turned his head and pointed at Yuan Zhou on the screen.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Yuan Zhou." In a moment of nervousness, the brown-haired chef mispronounced Yuan Zhou's name.
However, it was obviously meaningless to apologize now, because he was quickly taken away by the security guards on the scene.
"Thank you." Chu Xiao nodded to Ogyust to express his gratitude. This time, he didn't even spare a glance at the brown-haired chef.
"You're welcome. He has offended two master chefs. This is what he deserves." Ogyust continued to watch the video eagerly.
Chu Xiao had already started to play the next communication video with Yuan Zhou. It was unknown where he got so many videos of Yuan Zhou in his phone.
Obviously, the two masters mentioned by Ogyust were Chu Xiao and Yuan Zhou.
Obviously, Ogyust was a master chef with good judgment. Just by watching the video, he knew that Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were extraordinary. He even had the thought of going to China to have a look.
This was the joy of meeting his match, even if this person didn't cook French cuisine.
