With Yuan Zhou's current cooking skills, he was no longer the newbie he used to be. The knowledge points provided by the system to Yuan Zhou would no longer stop at the stage of absorption and proficiency, but would directly add his own understanding to make it more comprehensive.
Even though Yuan Zhou's current cooking level was quite high, it still took him about the same time to learn new dishes, and some would even take a little longer. This was because he needed to combine the knowledge points provided by the system with his current cooking skills to explore a path that belonged to him alone, Yuan Zhou.
This path was quite narrow, and it seemed that if he did not pay attention, he would not be able to walk on it. However, the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou gradually had his own style.
Every chef had his own habits when cooking, and habits and styles were two completely different concepts.
The former was everyone's preference. After all, their hearts were biased, while the latter was a path that must be taken in order to form one's own school.
To be honest, with Yuan Zhou's current cooking skills, it seemed that it was very late for him to form his own school. But in fact, that was not the case. There were very few chefs in history who could form their own school, and those who could were all famous in history. Moreover, most of them had just set foot on this road, and they did not have such conditions. Moreover, their cooking skills were not as good as Yuan Zhou's.
Originally, Yuan Zhou was standing on the shoulders of giants. Therefore, he had a high starting point and therefore had higher requirements. When Yuan Zhou was a middle-level chef, he could already sweep away all the other chefs in the cooking world except for the senior chefs. Now, after Yuan Zhou became a senior chef, he could almost sweep away the entire cooking world in China. When one's craftsmanship was high, it was much more difficult to find a path that belonged to oneself than to find a path from scratch.
As Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship became more profound and he became more serious about cooking, he also set foot on his own path. There were several more dishes added to the Yuan Family's Private Kitchen on the menu.
The dishes that could be recognized by the system were definitely beyond the current level of the market, and they were also varieties that had never appeared before, which showed how difficult it was.
For example, Liao Wenkai's Azure Sea Pearl. Although it was originally invented by him, as this dish became famous, not only Liao Wenkai, but many other chefs also learned to cook it, and some even added their own improvements.
But today, Liao Wenkai's horizons were broadened.
Originally, after he finished cooking the Azure Sea Pearl, Yuan Zhou said he would cook this dish as well. He had already braced himself to watch it. But only when he saw it with his own eyes did he realize it was still not enough. He really wished his parents could give birth to several more pairs of eyes. Otherwise, it wouldn't be enough.
"Based on his skillful and elegant appearance, it is more believable to say that Head Chef Yuan is the inventor of this dish," Liao Wenkai praised.
However, he did not feel embarrassed at all. He had also learned quite a lot of knowledge from it, and he could make improvements on it once he came down. He could even obtain a second generation Azure Sea Pearl.
Of course, as the conversation went on, Liao Wenkai realized that he was indeed making a mountain out of a molehill. When he saw a corner of Cang Mountain, he thought that it was Yuan Zhou's full strength. Later on, he realized that it was just a drop in the ocean. This feeling was just an illusion because he was in the middle of the mountain.
"Thank you, Head Chef Yuan. I really learned a lot today. I didn't expect Head Chef Yuan to have such a deep understanding of vegetarian dishes," Liao Wenkai said sincerely.
He couldn't help but admire Yuan Zhou. No matter which vegetarian cuisine sect it was, Yuan Zhou was always at his fingertips. Compared to him, who only focused on the monastery's vegetarian dishes, Yuan Zhou was much more brilliant. Moreover, he had also learned a lot from the monastery's vegetarian dishes today. Therefore, he was very grateful.
He was a cooking fanatic, not an idiot. Since he had benefited from others, he naturally had to return the favor. Therefore, he shared some of the techniques he had inherited from the monastery's sect with Yuan Zhou without reservation.
It wasn't that Liao Wenkai could casually share the techniques he had inherited with others, or that he didn't respect the inheritance. Instead, it was because Yuan Zhou was too abnormal. It was said that geniuses were able to infer many things from one instance. But when it came to Yuan Zhou, even inferring five things from one instance was considered a light punishment.
Almost as soon as Liao Wenkai shared some simple techniques that could be passed on, Yuan Zhou was able to figure out half of the deeper secrets that were previously not passed on.
If he had more time, Yuan Zhou might have figured out something that was more advanced than what he had inherited. There was no need to hide it.
Indeed, it was as Liao Wenkai had expected. When he shared the techniques he had inherited, what he received from Yuan Zhou was more valuable than what he had passed on.
Overall, Liao Wenkai had definitely gained a huge advantage. Therefore, he felt a little guilty about passing on the things he had learned. After all, the value wasn't equal.
"I also learned a lot about the techniques of the monastery's vegetarian dishes today. Thank you, Master Liao, for your explanation," Yuan Zhou said politely.
Ever since he got together with Yin Ya, Yuan Zhou had become more and more humane. At the very least, he could say a few polite words. It was better than his previous deadpan attitude.
Of course, he was still as serious as ever when it came to culinary skills. After sending Liao Wenkai away, Yuan Zhou saw that there was still some time left. He immediately went into the kitchen to practice the small techniques he had previously learned and integrate them into his own understanding.
While Yuan Zhou was busy practicing his culinary skills, Zhan Changfa and the others were also in high spirits and full of passion. They couldn't wait to set off.
"Dadada, Dadada!"
A series of hurried footsteps came. Soon, two figures, one thin and one fat, appeared in the hotel lobby. They were Xiang Yang and Wu Kun.
This scene was very similar. It was almost the same as when they were in Fuzhou. The difference was that Zhan Changfa wasn't alone, but three people. Three?
The two of them, who were in a hurry and almost couldn't stop, immediately stopped. What was going on? Didn't they agree that only the three of them would go together today?
Xiang Yang and Wu Kun were a little confused. They hadn't seen President Zhan for a few days. Five days ago, they had held an apprenticeship ceremony with Gu Xun and the others from Shanghai Cuisine. It could be said that they had become Yuan Zhou's disciples, so they were very busy.
Every day, they had to complete tasks assigned by Yuan Zhou. For today's appointment, it could be said that they had tried their best to complete it in advance with quality and quantity. But why was it different from what they had agreed on?
Xiang Yang's serious face became more serious, which was a sign that he was thinking. Wu Kun, who was a little more lively, winked at Zhan Changfa, trying to express what was going on with his eyes and nose.
An old man who was about the same age as Zhan Changfa, who was standing behind him calmly, said directly, "Don't ask the president. Let me tell you. Today, we are going to eat at The Kitchen God together."
This was Qu Yun, the vice president of Fujian Cuisine. He and President Zhan's secretary, Xiaowang, arrived in Chengdu late at night on the day Zhan Changfa and the others left.
After that, as the vice president and secretary, they naturally had to follow Zhan Changfa. Because Xiang Yang and Wu Kun soon went through the apprenticeship ceremony, they had their own things to do. Therefore, although Zhan Changfa went to The Kitchen God every day or every meal, the three of them were not the same three people as before.
But today was the day that they could eat Buddha jumps over the wall. No matter how busy they were, Xiang Yang and Wu Kun wouldn't forget it. Therefore, they had planned to eat it with the president last night.
Each of them ordered one, and there were only three. It could be imagined that they didn't have enough for themselves. Therefore, they tacitly agreed not to bring Qu Yun and Wu Kun.
