After their respective explanations, the group became lively again with the first question from the Michelin 1-star head chef, Alford.
[I think it should be 85%.] Peru: Aldair
[It should be slightly higher, reaching 87%, just like that genius Head Chef Chu. Just now, someone said that it wasn't enough. If that's the case, people will look forward to it more.] France: Andry
[My opinion is the opposite of yours. I think it should be lower, only 83% or 84%. After all, the famous British chef, Udyar, also used this method last time, but he was defeated. He was dissatisfied with the reason being that he deliberately kept people in suspense.] United States: Alford
[I agree with Alford. The satisfaction should not exceed 85%, lower than that Head Chef Chu. After all, Head Chef Chu's creative French cuisine is really amazing.] ]
[Head Chef Chu's French cuisine is indeed amazing, but I don't think Head Chef Yuan is bad either. Look at his expression, movements, and cooking techniques. It's just like art. I think it should be 87%.] ]
[I don't agree with anyone. I think it should be between 85% and 88%.] It was a new head chef who had recently been leading the new high-quality food and beverage industry. He was also the world's most famous chef eight years ago, Alliander.
Alliander's words caused the group to boil. After all, the highest score he gave was higher than the highest score in the past 50 years, which was Chu Xiao's score of 87%. Therefore, everyone started a heated discussion.
However, even those who hadn't eaten the dish could give a score no lower than 83%. Those who had eaten the dish and could better experience Yuan Zhou's culinary skills naturally gave a higher score. Among them, Chu Xiao gave the highest score.
"Let me say first that my answer will definitely be satisfactory." Francie gave the answer four days later in advance with a smile.
"A dish that can make you remember it for more than half a year is naturally worthy of your satisfaction," Ogyust was not surprised by Francis's choice.
"Then, how satisfied are you guys with this Head Chef Yuan?" Francis said and looked around the banquet hall.
In addition to the waiters, there were only two types of people in the banquet hall. One was people who sat around the table and discussed like them, and the other was the Japanese representative from the Asia-Pacific Economic Exchange, who surrounded the open kitchen with long partitions.
To be exact, they were all surrounding Yuan Zhou and watching him cook. Among them, Dashi Xiujie was the most serious one. His attitude could even be compared to Master Cheng's. Even Master Cheng was staring at Dashi Xiujie solemnly at the side.
"I think it can reach 90%." Chu Xiao was the first to speak this time and said affirmatively.
"Chu, your score is really high. No one can reach such a high score. But I think it should be close to 90%," Manfred said after a pause. Close to 90% was also very high.
It was hard to satisfy a hundred people, not to mention there would be more than one.
"I think so too," Ogyust agreed with Manfred this time.
"No, my estimation is not high. This is just the first dish. Oh, no, it's not a dish. It's just a snack," Chu Xiao shook his head and said seriously.
"I'm not underestimating it. Based on my judgment, this Head Chef Yuan doesn't have any assistants. He's all alone. The energy of a single person is limited. I think the later he cooks, the worse it will be," Manfred said.
"Yes, it's a pity," Ogyust nodded.
"No, you guys don't understand. He won't." Chu Xiao shook his head.
Ogyust and Manfred looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. They didn't object to what Chu Xiao said anymore, but obviously, they didn't believe Chu Xiao either.
In their hearts, they both felt that it was a little thoughtless for Yuan Zhou to cook a meal for 200 people alone. However, this was just a small problem and wouldn't affect their evaluation of Yuan Zhou's culinary skills.
It was just that it was very difficult for Ogyust and Manfred to reach 90 points in this individual cooking exhibition.
"I'm optimistic. I think this Head Chef Yuan will get a higher score," Francis said. Thinking of the Immortal Duck last time, he started drooling.
"This is different. Last time, he had a chef assistant," Manfred shook his head and said. He had obviously done his homework.
"It doesn't matter. We'll know in three days," Francis shrugged.
"That's right. We'll know in three days. I'm looking forward to him breaking the record," Ogyust looked at Yuan Zhou with a burning gaze.
Time passed very quickly, especially when he was chatting with others. Time passed even faster, and soon it was lunchtime.
The main dish Yuan Zhou prepared for lunch was Yunnan Qian Yun Drumstick, the main dish was steamed pork, and the snack was Yunnan's specialty Rose Flower Cake. Each person had a small piece, and it was still warm. When one bit it, one would feel like being in a rose garden.
As for the beverage, each person had a small cup of sour bean juice, which was also Yunnan's specialty. It was sweet and sour, suitable for all ages.
The lunch looked simple, but in fact, Yuan Zhou had prepared the Golden Yun Drumstick for a long time.
Yuan Zhou had been preparing it ever since Chu Xiao mentioned the individual cooking exhibition. Although it wasn't the best three years, Yuan Zhou had used other methods to make the ham taste better than the ham that had been cooked for three years.
This method was the exclusive secret recipe of a Yunnan Cuisine master given by the system.
The bright rose-colored ham was cut into small slices of uniform thickness and suitable for eating. On the plate, it looked like layers of rose petals.
When the snow-white steamed pork was served, it emitted the fragrance of rice. The slight warmth made it soft and glutinous, even better than eating the softest white bread. Moreover, it wasn't sticky at all, only having the unique fragrance of the rice.
The combination of the steamed bait and the slightly cold ham made Francie's plate empty in an instant. This speed could be said to be extremely fast.
He must have practiced it at the Asia-Pacific Economic Exchange last time.
This time was no exception. Yuan Zhou briefly introduced the spring theme. He used Yunnan Cuisine, one of the Huaxia cuisines. The staple food was Yunnan's specialty pork, and the main dish was Yunnan's famous Golden Yun Drumstick. The snacks were also Yunnan's tribute flower pancakes. Even the rice used in the pork was Yunnan's tribute rice.
Of course, the rice provided by Zhou Shijie's Chef's Association was naturally not as good as the one provided by the system, but the pork was also very soft and sweet.
In fact, the rice was now specially used for state banquets, and it would be used to entertain foreign guests.
Therefore, when Yuan Zhou mentioned the rice and Zhou Shijie popularized the Yunnan Cuisine culture, the Thai Prince immediately said, "This rice does taste like the one I ate in the capital last time, but the cooking method is completely different. I didn't expect it could be cooked in this way. It's very delicious."
As he spoke, the Thai Prince also did as the Romans do and gave Yuan Zhou a thumbs-up.
The rest of the leaders also nodded to show that they understood.
It could be said that this was Yuan Zhou's personal cooking exhibition. Yuan Zhou not only showed his superb cooking skills, but also promoted the diverse cuisine culture of Huaxia.
And this was something that only Yuan Zhou could do, because he was Yuan Zhou.
