The front yard was not far from the kitchen of Yuanzhou shop, so Yuan Zhou quickly brought those kitchen knives over.
Although it was a miraculous kitchen knife, it was also the knife that Yuan Zhou usually used to cook. Therefore, this knife wasn't put in a delicate box like the one brought by Chairman Tian. Instead, it was directly taken over by him.
The miracle kitchen knife looked really ordinary. Of course, this ordinary referred to its appearance.
The log color handle now looked glossy and smooth. Obviously, it had been used many times, so the wood of the handle looked very shiny.
The blade was glowing with silver light, similar to the blade of an ordinary chef's knife. It was completely different from the famous knife brought by Chairman Tian. The tip of the knife was specially shaped, and even the handle was made into the shape of a dragon's mouth, which was very gorgeous.
Because Secretary Liu and the man in a suit had seen this famous knife, when they saw that the knife brought by Yuan Zhou was so ordinary, they were a little unconvinced.
It was known that their famous knife was carefully designed by many masters and specially made for chefs.
This famous knife was worthy of the name of a famous knife no matter its shape or function. It was a kitchen knife that combined appearance and practicality. In short, it was very good from the ergonomic point of view.
Even the chairman of the Chef's Alliance, Zhou Shijie, knew about this and asked for this knife after it was forged, but he didn't succeed.
It could be imagined that this knife was precious and rare. Now, Yuan Zhou took out such an ordinary knife and refused this famous knife, which made the two very unconvinced.
As for Chairman Tian? He stared at the knife in Yuan Zhou's hand and couldn't say anything for a while.
Yes, as the chairman of the Pao Ding Collection Association, his appreciation ability was naturally good.
Naturally, he wouldn't think that Yuan Zhou took out an ordinary knife. When he took a closer look, he found that this seemingly ordinary knife was full of secrets.
It played the role of the kitchen to the fullest.
And looking at the blade, he knew that this was a knife that could really cut a hair.
Just by looking at the surface, Chairman Tian was sure of his answer.
Therefore, President Tian didn't say anything. He just looked at the knife in Yuan Zhou's hand seriously, and Secretary Liu couldn't help it.
"Director Yuan, your saber is naturally a good one, but the famous saber we are giving you is also very good. You can take a look before you decide," Secretary Liu said seriously and tactfully.
The man in the suit nodded as well. He placed his hand on the silver box, ready to open it as soon as Yuan Zhou spoke.
Naturally, Secretary Liu wouldn't be dissatisfied with Yuan Zhou, the great master that they had invited with great difficulty, just because he didn't want their knives. Therefore, even if she thought that Yuan Zhou's knife was ordinary, she wouldn't say it. Instead, she would persuade Yuan Zhou to accept their knives.
"No need. I'm more used to my own saber." Yuan Zhou shook his head. Then, he walked forward and gently placed the saber on the table.
His meaning was obvious. He wanted everyone to see it.
"Actually, Director Yuan, you can …" Secretary Liu wanted to persuade him again, but he was interrupted by President Tian before he finished speaking.
"Little Liu, you are wrong. Take a good look at the saber before you speak." President Tian reminded.
"Huh?" Being interrupted by President Tian, Secretary Liu then looked down at the kitchen knife on the table.
At this time, Secretary Liu found that the knife wasn't as ordinary as it looked from afar.
The seemingly ordinary blade could reflect a faint light under the sun, but the blade didn't need light to exude a sharp silver light. The blade that was as thin as a cicada's wing was definitely not made by ordinary people.
Even if he didn't know how to cook, Secretary Liu also knew how comfortable it was to cut vegetables with such a beautiful arc from the blade to the blade.
Not to mention that the handle seemed to have no design. Looking closely, one could see that there was a very slight arc at the handle. The arc was suitable for the feeling when the palm was slightly bent.
Such a kitchen knife without any decoration but fit the chef everywhere was exactly the pursuit of a chef.
Then, Secretary Liu couldn't say anything. She looked at the president and then at Yuan Zhou, feeling a little embarrassed.
The man in the suit expressed that he didn't understand. He looked around with some doubts and wisely didn't speak.
Nevertheless, Chairman Tian seriously checked Yuan Zhou's Miracle Kitchen Knife and said, "Director Yuan, can this knife of yours really cut off a strand of hair with a single blow?"
"Yes, it can." Yuan Zhou nodded and said.
As soon as President Tian heard Yuan Zhou nod, he immediately looked at the knife on the table with shining eyes. He couldn't wait to pick it up and have a try, but his self-control as a president for many years restrained this impulse.
President Tian had also heard of things like cutting a hair with a single blow or seen it in novels, but in fact, it had never happened.
After all, the requirement for cutting a hair with a single blow was to put a very thin hair gently on the blade and cut the hair the moment it was put on the blade. The cut must be very neat.
Therefore, when President Tian was about to look at Yuan Zhou expectantly, Yuan Zhou said first, "But I'm sorry, my knife can only cut ingredients."
"Yes, a good kitchen knife can only be used to cut ingredients. This is what it should do." Although President Tian was very regretful, he still agreed with what Yuan Zhou said.
"Yes, this is the tacit understanding between a knife and a chef." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Yes, but this is really a good knife. I'm afraid I can't find a better knife in my association," President Tian said with emotion.
"I can't say it's the best, but it is indeed the most suitable for me," Yuan Zhou said.
"Director Yuan, you are too modest. This knife is indeed better than this famous knife," President Tian shook his head and said.
Secretary Liu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Head Chef Yuan, you have such a good knife, but you have never taken it out to use?"
"For example, in the seafood competition at the beginning, the China-Japan exchange, the Asia-Pacific exchange, and the recent individual cooking exhibition, I have never seen you use it?" Secretary Liu asked curiously.
With a solemn expression, Yuan Zhou was thinking about how to answer. However, the man in a suit at the side finally understood and said, "Isn't it simple? Director Yuan is thinking for the sake of his opponent. What's the point of competing with such a good knife? Director Yuan's own culinary skills are already so great. With such a good knife, others will say that Director Yuan is bullying the weak."
"That's true. Director Yuan's culinary skills have already reached the acme of perfection. Indeed, he doesn't need a good knife to add flowers to the scenery. No wonder he's an Asian Famous Chef." Chairman Tian nodded his head earnestly and gasped in admiration.
Secretary Liu suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. Director Yuan, you are really a gentleman. No wonder people say you are the chef with the most noble demeanor."
Suddenly, the three people opposite Yuan Zhou, President Tian, Secretary Liu, and the man in a suit, all looked at Yuan Zhou with admiration.
"You have all imagined it. What else can I do? I have to accept it reluctantly," Yuan Zhou could only sit there with a serious look on his face.
"Maintaining a public image is really a technical job. Fortunately, I am really good at cooking, so I don't have to worry about my public image collapsing," Yuan Zhou thought seriously and then decided to introduce Jiangsu Cuisine as soon as possible.
Well, it would be easier to improve his cooking skills this way.
