Chu Xiao found the way Francie was looking at Auguste to be very familiar. Only when he looked at Francie's face again did Chu Xiao realize that this was the same expression he had every time he ate in Yuanzhou shop.
Therefore, Chu Xiao was very understanding of Francie. He even took the initiative to move to the side so that Francie could come closer.
Auguste naturally noticed Chu Xiao's actions and instantly became even more speechless.
But after calming himself down, Auguste still decided to say, "If possible, I suggest everyone at our table eat one of each other's fish balls. It should be a pleasant surprise."
"What do you mean?" Salomon was the first to speak.
"I want to verify what Chu said on the first day," said Ogyust as he looked at Yuan Zhou who was in the open kitchen with a burning gaze.
"Head Chef Yuan, do you mean according to your taste?" Chu Xiao asked.
"Yes." Auguste nodded and then continued, "I think everyone should have noticed that the food served these days is very suitable for your taste."
"For example, I like salty food, but I don't like greasy food. But the food served by Head Chef Yuan is perfectly suitable for my taste. It's not a matter of taste," Auguste said thoughtfully.
"You mean Head Chef Yuan knows everyone's taste and eating habits?" Manfred asked in astonishment.
"Yes." This time, it was Chu Xiao who answered. He continued, "As long as you are his customer, he knows it from the first time you enter the restaurant."
"Although I have never tasted the food served by others, I think that's for sure," Chu Xiao said.
"That's unbelievable. How is that possible?" Manfred shook his head. Obviously, he didn't want to believe this.
"Think about your taste and then exchange. Then we will know the answer," Auguste said.
"Okay." Salomon was the first to nod. Then, he picked up his own plate and scooped a fish ball from Auguste's plate before giving his own to Auguste.
Even though Auguste was a self-proclaimed French gentleman, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Salomon's actions. Who was he looking down on? It was as if he wanted to snatch his fish ball.
Although Ogyust secretly thought so, he didn't take action, so it didn't count.
"If that's the case, you should have said so earlier, Augu." Francie slowly returned to his seat, scooped a bowl of Ogyust's fish ball, and gave Ogyust a fish ball from his plate.
"…" Ogyust was speechless.
Then, Chu Xiao and Manfred exchanged the fish balls on their plates.
After the exchange was completed, Ogyust looked at the few of them, then picked up the fish ball from Salomon's plate and stuffed it into his mouth with a look of anticipation.
In an instant, the thin layer of starch on the outside of the fish ball melted in his mouth, and a faint freshness of the fish spread on the tip of his tongue. Then, Ogyust gently pursed his lips, and the fish almost immediately melted into small cloves of garlic. At the same time, the freshness of the fish became even more intense.
"Soft, fragrant, and smooth. The fish is fresh and delicious. Very delicious," Ogyust commented.
But at the same time, he also noticed the difference between this fish ball and his own. This fish ball only had a faint burnt taste, but not a burnt texture.
"Salomon, you are indeed getting old. You still prefer soft and tender food," Ogyust mocked.
"No, I'm just paying attention to my health. After all, I'm much younger than you," Salomon said straightforwardly.
Then, the two of them argued about their ages for a while more. Then, Chu Xiao and Manfred, who looked shocked, spoke.
"As expected of my lifelong rival," Chu Xiao sighed with emotion. He was already so old, but why was he still so chuunibyou?
"It's really different. Moreover, it's different for everyone. Moreover, it's such a subtle difference. How is this possible?" Manfred muttered in astonishment.
"I don't think there's any need to be surprised. After the past few days, I don't think there's any need to be surprised about Head Chef Yuan's cooking skills," Ogyust said with a smile.
"How can I not be surprised? This isn't something a human can do. He's simply a god. No, no, no. I don't think even a god can do such a detailed thing. This is unbelievable," Manfred said excitedly.
"A god might be able to do it. After all, a god is omnipotent," Ogyust said.
"Unless it's the God of Chefs," Manfred said.
"I think this Head Chef Yuan might be able to reach that level in the future. His upper limit is too high," Ogyust said.
"Regardless of the upper limit, Yuan Zhou will definitely be able to do it," Chu Xiao said earnestly and confidently, as if he had already seen the future.
"I don't know if he's a god or not, but I want to know if I can have another bowl of fish ball. I'm not full yet, "Francie said while rubbing her belly.
"Hahaha, indeed. The amount is really not much," Ogyust said with a smile.
"Actually, these dishes are all made according to our own appetites. It should be just enough after eating," Salomon had a different opinion.
Moreover, what Salomon said was also the truth. Yuan Zhou had indeed prepared the food according to the general appetite. After the food was finished, the stomach would be just full, neither hungry nor stuffed.
"In that case, this Head Chef Yuan is probably not a god," Manfred suddenly said.
"Why?" Ogyust looked at Manfred curiously and asked.
"Because he forgot to take into account the fact that these dishes are made by him," Manfred shrugged and said.
"Yes, that's right," Ogyust blanked out for a moment before nodding earnestly.
"Indeed." Chu Xiao also nodded his head, pretending to be serious.
"That's right. If it were any other chef, I would only feel full. But since it's Head Chef Yuan's dish, I feel like I can cook another set," Francie said inelegantly.
"It's not healthy to eat too much." Salomon raised his eyebrows and continued, "But Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills are outstanding. Eating more is good for your body and mind."
"Hypocrite," Ogyust immediately retorted.
This time, however, Salomon ignored Ogyust. The last two vegetarian dishes were about to be served.
Just like what Salomon had said, after the two vegetarian dishes, the dinner was completely over. Everyone lingered on the aftertaste in their mouths, feeling somewhat reluctant to leave.
But at this time, Zhou Shijie and Yuan Zhou had returned to the stage.
"Welcome, everyone. My personal cooking exhibition has officially come to an end. Thank you," Yuan Zhou spoke first and then nodded to the diners below the stage to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. It's very delicious," such voices rang out incessantly, followed by enthusiastic applause.
After a while, when everyone had expressed their gratitude to Yuan Zhou, Zhou Shijie walked to the microphone and spoke.
"The evaluation this time is the same as the international one. You only need to check whether you're satisfied or dissatisfied. There's no need to sign. The general secretary of China Chefs' Alliance and Miss Yin Ya will jointly issue the evaluation letter," Zhou Shijie said and signaled the two people beside him to enter the banquet hall.
