That night, when the pub was opened.
Yuan Zhou came to the headquarters of the Green Chef's Guild. Qin Kaili had prepared everything.
As a knife skill, the Tortoise Lion Dance was used to process ingredients. It was impossible for it to appear out of thin air. It was like snatching vegetables. If there was no vegetables, it couldn't snatch the air.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou had discussed with Old Master Wang before. The location was the kitchen of the Green Chef's Guild.
Yuan Zhou didn't think it was good to hold these activities in the Sichuan Cuisine Association or the Chef's Association. But he was the president of the Green Chef's Guild. This was his territory, so there was no problem.
With Wang Mingjie's rigid character, he would only arrive early and never be late. Coincidentally, Yuan Zhou had always arrived early as well. Therefore, such a scene occurred. They had agreed to meet at 9: 30, but both of them arrived at the entrance of the restaurant at exactly 9: 00.
Why didn't they enter at the door? Because there were other units in this building, so the door was closed at this time. They needed to wait for someone to open the door.
"Won't Old Master Wang come?" Yuan Zhou didn't see Wang Huai, so he asked with concern.
"No, he won't come." Wang Mingjie answered seriously.
Yuan Zhou nodded and didn't ask anymore.
Then, Wang Mingjie stood upright. During this period, Yuan Zhou talked about two topics, but they were all dead. Yuan Zhou finally met a person who was worse at chatting than him.
Talking with Head Chef Mingjie, Yuan Zhou felt like talking with the news broadcast. It was too formal. Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't talk well, but he couldn't talk well.
Qin Kaili, Liao Yue, Wan Li and Kang Hu went out 20 minutes earlier than 9: 10. Then, they saw the Dumbbell Fruit on the Dumbbell Tree. Under the Dumbbell Tree, you, me, Yuan Zhou and Wang Mingjie stood there blankly.
"President, why did Head Chef Wang come so early?" Wan Li asked.
Qin Kaili said, "You must have waited for a long time. President, please tell us directly next time. We will come down to pick you up immediately."
Kang Hu and Liao Yue nodded. Originally, Qin Kaili was the only one in charge of receiving them today, but after knowing the details, Wan Li, Liao Yue, and Kang Hu rushed over.
The ingredient used for the demonstration was a chicken. It was impossible to display the knife skills. It would be too wasteful to throw the ingredient aside after the demonstration. Therefore, after the demonstration, the chicken would be eaten, and then Liao Yue would make the chicken into colorful shredded chicken.
Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife Technique. Tortoise soaring and lion dancing were just adjectives, just like Yuan Zhou's Three Beasts Crossing, which also used three animals to describe the characteristics of the knife technique.
Thinking about it carefully, what were the characteristics of a tortoise? It was slow and lived for a long time. As the saying goes, a thousand-year tortoise is better than a ten-thousand-year tortoise. However, since it was a compliment, it naturally couldn't be a negative word. Thus, the tortoise here represented "steadiness", and the tortoise soaring also meant being steady and able to float.
Strictly speaking, the Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing was truly dazzling. It was just like the scene of the lion dancing. Every time there was a dazzling line at the end, the only consideration was dazzling. Although it couldn't be compared with the Three Beasts Crossing, the skill in it was also impeccable. In Yuan Zhou's opinion, it was only one level lower than the Butcher's Dismembering a Cow that he had performed not long ago. After all, the Butcher's Dismembering a Cow was a legendary knife technique.
"That's not right. I remember Mr. Wang once said that Head Chef Mingjie had only learned about 80% or 90% of the Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife Technique. If Mr. Wang were to perform it in person, the magnificence of his knife technique should be only half a level lower than the Butcher's Dismembering a Cow." Yuan Zhou watched earnestly.
While watching, Yuan Zhou got a little curious. Therefore, he started to ask the system, "How far is the Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife Technique?"
Then, the system displayed, "One level? Host, don't you have any confidence in your knife technique? "
The word "confidence" was enlarged and bolded by the system.
Next, the system explained how to reach the standard of the Tortoise Knife Technique.
The knife technique was divided into three categories: practicality, performance and function. There was no difference between the three categories.
The Crossing of Three Beasts was a practicality knife technique, while the Butcher's Dismembering a Cow was a function knife technique. Practicality and performance knife techniques were almost opposite. Practicality meant conciseness and effectiveness. However, the Crossing of Three Beasts was an exception. It was much better than the Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife Technique in both the degree of magnificence and practicality.
On the other hand, the function could be combined with performance. Therefore, the Ding's Cow Dismembering Knife Technique was also very dazzling. The standard for the Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife Technique was very simple, which was to reach the peak in one field. As a performance knife technique, the Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife Technique was far from reaching the peak. As a practical knife technique, it was also far from the peak.
That was why the system said that Yuan Zhou didn't have any confidence in his knife technique and his heart was a desert.
As a matter of fact, the system suspected that the host, Yuan Zhou, was showing off. However, the system indicated that it had no evidence.
"Clap Clap Clap Clap"
After finishing, Kang Hu, Liao Yue, Qin Kaili, and Wan Li couldn't help but applaud and discuss loudly.
"The arc of the Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife is too beautiful." "I think the tail knife is even more beautiful." "I saw it at the Waisted Knife Banquet two years ago. This year, it's still amazing." "Although I don't know much about culinary arts, this is indeed the second most beautiful knife technique I've ever seen."
"Thank you." Wang Mingjie thanked them and then looked at Yuan Zhou. He asked seriously, "Head Chef Yuan, what do you think of my Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife?"
Actually, it wasn't that Wang Mingjie didn't care about Wan Li, Liao Yue, and Kang Hu. The key was that the three of them couldn't give any technical suggestions.
"The Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife created by Old Wang is unquestionable." Yuan Zhou paused and then continued, "But Head Chef Mingjie, do you have a clear direction for your breakthrough?"
Hearing that, Wang Mingjie was startled. Then, he lowered his head and said solemnly, "Please enlighten me, Head Chef Yuan."
"If knife techniques are broken down, we can divide them into practicality, performance, and functionality. Old Wang has done his best in the Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife Technique. But I don't think you have a sense of direction," Yuan Zhou got straight to the point.
Actually, according to the system, the Tortoise Soaring and Lion Dancing Knife Technique was a performance knife technique. If he continued down that path, he could reach the pinnacle. But the path of culinary arts wasn't something that could be easily decided. Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn't say the last sentence.
With Yuan Zhou's current status, if he said that, Wang Mingjie would make the same choice. And that wasn't the result Yuan Zhou wanted.
While Yuan Zhou and Wang Mingjie were talking, Liao Yue had finished preparing the Five Colored Chicken Shreds.
Wang Mingjie was lost in thought because of Yuan Zhou's words. No one knew what he was thinking.
Seeing that it was almost ready, Yuan Zhou said, "Head Chef Mingjie, please eat first. This is the skill of the vice chairman of our Green Chef Association."
"Okay. I'm looking forward to it," Wang Mingjie came back to himself and said while sitting upright.
Qin Kaili had also prepared some other side dishes. As the main dish, the Five Colored Chicken Shreds was enough for a simple table.
Seeing Yuan Zhou eat the Five Colored Chicken Shreds, Liao Yue was very nervous and his eyes almost popped out.
The Five Colored Chicken Shreds was one of the representative dishes of Shandong Cuisine. Yuan Zhou had eaten the dish cooked by Chairman Zhou before. Regardless of the taste or the heat control, it was definitely incomparable to Liao Yue's. But considering Liao Yue's age, to be fair, the taste was already at the standard of a signature dish in many hotels.
"The Five Colored Chicken Shreds is very delicious for your age," Yuan Zhou nodded and said.
Liao Yue heaved a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on his face, "It's good that Chairman likes it."
Since they had already eaten dinner, this meal could be considered a midnight snack. About an hour later, they finished eating.
Qin Kaili dealt with the aftermath. Then, Liao Yue, Kang Hu, and Wan Li saw off Yuan Zhou and Wang Mingjie. Neither of them asked anyone to drive them.
Wang Mingjie drove here while Yuan Zhou hailed a taxi.
"Before coming, my father told me that Head Chef Yuan has excellent culinary skills and is good at many cuisines. If I have any questions about culinary skills, Head Chef Yuan, you will definitely be able to give me the best guidance." Before leaving, Wang Mingjie said, "Head Chef Wang was also enlightened in your The Kitchen God. Head Chef Yuan, you really deserve to be called the Cooking Encyclopedia."
"Eh? The Cooking Encyclopedia? "Yuan Zhou heard a strange title.
Wang Mingjie explained in a deadpan manner, "The Cooking Encyclopedia means that you, Head Chef Yuan, will be able to provide very useful guidance when it comes to culinary skills."
"Um … Who gave me this title?" Yuan Zhou asked after thinking for a while.
"I don't know," Wang Mingjie said. "I heard the name 'Encyclopedia of Cooking' from my father."
Isn't this title too low? It's better to be called the Cooking Encyclopedia. At least it can be called the Cooking Encyclopedia. Yuan Zhou couldn't help but grumble inwardly.
As a big shot in the field of naming, Yuan Zhou remained silent and didn't want to say anything. These people didn't even ask the person involved when giving others nicknames.
After a short conversation, Yuan Zhou directly hailed a taxi and left.
Yuan Zhou was very busy watching the cutting skills for the whole night. There was another person in the The Kitchen God who was also very busy. He had never asked anyone out before. The first time he asked someone out was Wu Shou.
[Ask someone out? I'll come tomorrow at noon. ]
[How many people? ]
[Three people. ]
[Should I bring Meng Meng? Four people is just right. ]
[This is a battle of the pinnacle. Don't let cannon fodder get in. ]
[Ok, I'll come and line up in advance. ]
The above was the WeChat conversation between Mao Xiong and Wuhai. To be honest, they didn't talk much except for having a meal. Mao Xiong basically failed to ask Wuhai out because Wuhai would never go to other restaurants when the The Kitchen God was open.
The battle of the Chief Good-For-Nothing was a big event in Taoxi Road.
It was a sunny day. Even God was very kind to them. The battle was about to begin.
A group of people (big shots) surrounded the battle, led by Wang Hong and Zhou Xi. The two busy people were ready for the battle.
Wang Hong was holding a small notebook, while Zhou Xi was carrying a video camera on his shoulder. Wu Lin and Zheng Jiawei were in the third group. They had gone to the hospital for a physical examination in the morning. Because of the physical examination, Wuhai didn't even have breakfast today.
Therefore, Wuhai came prepared for this lunch. Of course, Yu Daoyi didn't eat anything before coming. After all, he had to fight against the two Good-For-Nothings today. As for Mao Xiong, he was said to be a natural foodie. No one could tell how strong he was.
In addition, Wuhai, Yu Daoyi, and Mao Xiong were in the first group, led by Wuhai. As for why Wu Lin and Zheng Jiawei were in the third group …
The former was because she didn't want to admit that she knew Wuhai. The latter was simply to accompany the former. Besides Wu Lin, Wu Lin, and Mao Xiong were also in the first group.
Besides Wu Lin, the new employee, Su Ruyan, was also confused. Ever since she came to Master Chef Restaurant, Su Ruyan's worldview had been destroyed. Wasn't Rice Bucket a scolding term? Why were there still people fighting for it?!
Actually, Su Ruoyan would probably get used to it after staying here for another half a year. The titles of the Top Ten Malignant Tumors of Master Chef Little Store, the Top Four Vajras, and the Top Three Devils (Because Wang Hong followed his heart, he didn't dare to add Jiang Changxi to the list) were all titles that people would fight for.
"This girl's table manners are perfect. It's rare." It was the first time for Yu Daoyi to meet Mao Xiong.
Today, Mao Xiong was wearing a white dress, like a white lotus … Well, it didn't seem to be a compliment. To be honest, Mao Xiong was thin and tall. Wearing a simple dress, her collarbones were obvious. Her thin image was too deceiving.
As the medium for the two, Wuhai introduced them to each other. Although he didn't introduce them clearly, it was already a great effort for Wu Menshou.
"I, Eaves Wu, deserve the title of the Chief Good-For-Nothing of The Kitchen God." Zhou Xi was full of confidence.
As a writer, Wang Hong had a different opinion. After all, the famous Wuxia writer Gu Long once said that one shouldn't provoke three kinds of people in Jianghu: monks, women, and children.
Therefore, Mao Xiong, who looked tall and thin and didn't have any fighting power, was definitely a strong opponent.
The naughty kid, who was on summer vacation, also came. Of course, he wasn't interested in this matter. He mainly came to see Meaty Lots. He brought his camera, but the pictures of the koi were gone. Although they were selling very well, for the credibility of the seller, the naughty kid wouldn't raise the price.
But if he didn't raise the price, he would be letting down the enthusiasm of the children. Therefore, he spent five yuan to hire a classmate to sell Meaty Lots's pictures for fifty yuan. At the same time, the naughty kid's supply was reduced by one third. Therefore, the naughty kid had created a fourth market — the scalper market!
The naughty kid calculated. Although the supply was reduced by one third, he could earn an additional twenty yuan per picture. After deducting the supply and the five yuan of labor, the naughty kid's monthly income increased by seven hundred and twenty-five yuan.
"Lunch is starting," Su Ruoyan shouted.
Wuhai and the other two went in. The auras of the three experts intertwined. Indistinctly, the atmosphere seemed to freeze. It was like the calm before the storm!
The person who ordered the dishes was Yu Daoyi. He asked, "What would the two of you like to eat today?"
"Up to you. I don't … don't mind," Wuhai thought for a while. They had a strong enemy with them today, so it was better not to raise any flags.
"More meat and less vegetables. As long as the quantity is high, anything else is fine," Mr. Mao Xiong said softly.
Yu Daoyi and Wuhai felt slightly pressured by such a domineering request.
"Crispy Sliced Pork, Three Shreds in Chili Oil, Boiled Geoduck, Stewed Beef Brisket with Radish, Sweet Pineapple Meat, Kirin Bass, Huguo Vegetable, Thousand Layer Pork, Ginkgo Sweet Potato, Three Cup Chicken, Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetable, Mapo Tofu, Potato Braised Ribs, Sichuan Style Crab …" Yu Daoyi ordered thirty-six dishes in one go. Among them, there were only a few vegetarian dishes.
Su Ruoyan, who was taking note of the dishes, was stunned. She looked at Yu Daoyi, Wuhai, and Mao Xiong and reminded them of the rules of the restaurant.
"Don't worry, we will definitely finish all the dishes." Yu Daoyi's words were quite persuasive. Su Ruoyan passed the menu to Yuan Zhou.
"Twelve dishes per person. I know we won't be able to fill our stomachs. However, we are here to decide who wins and who loses, not to fill our stomachs." Yu Daoyi said, "I just sold two zithers, so I have some money. If you really want us to fill our stomachs, I think I will have to go to Mr. Yuan's place today."
Thirty-six dishes, and all of them were meat dishes, were worth a lot of money. Yu Daoyi had only sold two zithers, and he had earned so much money. This only proved that his zithers were worth a lot of money.
As mentioned before, Yu Daoyi was a strange person. He could easily earn money, and there were many people lining up to buy his zithers. However, he did not sell them at all.
If you think that Yu Daoyi did not love money, then you are wrong. He loved money, but it was impossible for him to sell his zithers for money.
"Why don't you open a bet and bet on who will win?" a regular customer asked the brat.
After all, in the eyes of the regular customers, the brat was someone who would think of any way to earn money.
"Although it is impossible to lose money if we open a bet, gambling to earn money is the most unwise way," the brat said, "I have other ways to earn money."
"Do you lack capital? I can invest," the regular customer said.
"No need, I have already gotten an investment from Sister Jiang Changxi," the brat said.
