The purpose of Wang Mingjie's visit this time was very simple. He wanted to cook a dish with Chairman Cheng and taste it together.
Of course, a Sichuan Cuisine Master and a Suzhou Cuisine Master wouldn't cook the same dish. Moreover, Wang Mingjie wasn't good at Sichuan Cuisine and Engineer Cheng only knew a little about Suzhou Cuisine.
Not everyone could be like Yuan Zhou and be able to cook many cuisines at the top level.
However, Wang Mingjie and Engineer Cheng could do something similar. They had discussed it yesterday and planned to cook Fried Rice.
Speaking of Fried Rice, everyone could cook it. The threshold was very low. However, whether it was good or not depended on the individual's craftsmanship. Some people's Fried Rice was greasy, some people's Fried Rice was dry, and some people's Fried Rice was burnt. There were all kinds of Fried Rice, but some were good. It could be said that many people had a special bowl of Fried Rice in their hearts.
Some were made by their mothers, some were made by their grandmothers, and some were cooked by themselves after school.
Moreover, Yuan Zhou also made his fortune with Egg Fried Rice.
The two of them communicated. Wang Mingjie was going to cook Yangzhou Fried Rice, while Engineer Cheng was going to cook the Egg Fried Rice that Yuan Zhou had cooked. As Yuan Zhou's apprentice, he had to learn from him.
Egg Fried Rice and Yangzhou Fried Rice were very similar. Many people even thought that they were the same.
"I don't know why Head Chef Wang Mingjie suddenly wants to communicate." Chairman Cheng couldn't figure it out. In fact, if Chairman Cheng wasn't so busy improving his culinary skills and the Sichuan Cuisine Association, he could have known in advance that Yuan Zhou was going to take a registered apprentice.
It was quite easy to cook Fried Rice. Moreover, Chairman Cheng had prepared all the ingredients beforehand. Therefore, the two of them finished cooking very quickly.
Both of them were at the Master level, so they were evenly matched in terms of appearance. The most important thing was definitely the taste.
"Chairman Cheng, I'm going to taste it now." Wang Mingjie picked up the spoon and scooped a spoonful of Chairman Cheng's Fried Rice into his mouth.
Wang Mingjie had never tasted Yuan Zhou's fried rice, but Chairman Cheng's cooking was almost 80% as good as Yuan Zhou's, so he could roughly imagine Yuan Zhou's cooking skills.
Even though he had already made up his mind, Wang Mingjie still finished Engineer Cheng's fried rice. This was the habit he had when he was taught by Yuan Zhou last time. No matter who made the dishes, as long as they were served to him, he would finish them all.
"Thank you, Chairman Cheng. I understand now. I'll take my leave first." Wang Mingjie left immediately after finishing the fried rice. He came and left in a hurry.
"Alright, goodbye." President Cheng was a little confused. Who was this person? What did he understand?
"Something doesn't feel right," President Cheng muttered.
"You flew all the way here from Su Province just to compete whose fried rice is better?" Chairman Cheng didn't think anyone with a healthy brain would do such a thing.
It was rare for Cheng Ying to wake up early, but she saw her father muttering to himself.
She asked, "Dad, what are you doing?"
"What do you think he meant?" Chairman Cheng took his daughter's hand and told her what had happened just now.
Young people were quick-witted. They might be able to think of some useful information. Raising a daughter was only so useful.
"I don't think he's here to challenge our restaurant, right? He's a Su Cuisine Master. What kind of restaurant is he challenging in our Sichuan Cuisine restaurant? He's not a grandmaster who knows how to cook all kinds of dishes. Furthermore, his cooking skills are far beyond our reach." Cheng Wu spoke without thinking. Even he didn't know what he was saying.
"Challenge the restaurant? Master. "
An idea flashed across Chairman Cheng's mind. When he thought of the shameless Dashi Xiujie, he suddenly thought of a possibility.
He picked up the phone and intended to call Zhou Shijie to ask if his master had any activities recently. As a personal disciple, he had to help his master.
On the other side, Wang Mingjie was indeed heading for the direction of the Chef's Association. He was going to sign up.
Old Master Wang had told Wang Mingjie that Yuan Zhou was going to accept an apprentice. Wang Mingjie admired Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills very much.
He was also grateful for the communication they had before and even believed that Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills had surpassed his father Wang Huai at such a young age. However, he was still a little confused about becoming a registered apprentice.
Wang Mingjie was also a smart person. He immediately went to find Yuan Zhou's apprentice, Cheng Zhao Mei.
Just a dish of fried rice was enough to defeat him, a Master of Su Cuisine. The simpler the dishes were, the more exquisite the culinary skills were. This was a well-known fact in the cooking world.
Leaving Sichuan Cuisine and Su Cuisine aside, Wang Mingjie knew that he was still far away from Engineer Cheng in terms of culinary skills.
"Wang Mingjie, Wang Mingjie, Engineer Cheng is now the president of Sichuan Cuisine and is called the King of Sichuan Cuisine. You can't be compared with him in terms of both reputation and culinary skills. What's there to be confused about?" Wang Mingjie rushed to the headquarters of the Chef's Association.
Chairman Zhou Shijie first informed several of his friends in the cooking world about the news that Yuan Zhou was going to accept an apprentice. Therefore, what happened to Ke Sen and Wang Mingjie was happening everywhere in China.
The news hadn't been officially announced yet, but those who were well-informed had already heard the news. Everyone was packing up and preparing to go to Chengdu.
It was the beginning of a new day. Today, Opello and the others still came to have breakfast. They also came to bid farewell to Yuan Zhou.
"I'm going back to France this time." Standing in front of Yuan Zhou, Chu Xiao straightened his back.
"Got it. Have a nice trip." Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
"I may pass by Chengdu during the Spring Festival. At that time, I'll come to The Kitchen God to have a look." Chu Xiao was as aloof as ever.
"Ok." Yuan Zhou said.
"Head Chef Yuan, this exchange has helped me find a way to move forward. Thank you so much." Opello had lost count of how many times he had expressed his gratitude.
"Head Chef Opello, you are too polite." Yuan Zhou said.
"I still have to thank Head Chef Yuan for sharing. But I want to ask, when will Singapore Cuisine be added to the menu?" Opello asked curiously.
Having eaten the new dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou, he knew how delicious the new dishes were. However, he had never seen them on the menu before. Therefore, he was a little concerned. Therefore, he specially asked Yuan Zhou about it before leaving.
"I don't think it's good enough. It's not perfect enough. I need to practice more." Yuan Zhou answered earnestly.
Anyone could see that he was telling the truth. He wasn't being modest at all.
"Not perfect enough?"
"You need to practice more?"
"Practice more?"
Opello muttered these three sentences and left in a trance, forgetting to even say goodbye.
The ten-person round-table meeting came to an end. As it was close to the Spring Festival, the chefs didn't stay to taste the delicacies and returned to their own countries.
Only Yuan Zhou knew how much he had gained. But the fact that his customers finally got their seats back was a cause for celebration. At night, they all realized how naive they were.
They might be late for the first meal, but there would never be anyone else's share.
That familiar posture, with its four limbs clinging onto the door in an unimaginable manner, was none other than the mythical beast that had disappeared for some time — Wu Hai.
I, Great Wu Hai, am back. Boss Yuan, did you miss me? My restaurant must have missed me as well. "" Hahahaha.
"Roar roar roar. I'm going to have a big meal today."
Since Wu Hai had appeared, naturally, Zhou Xi, who had recently become his follower, had also appeared. So had Zheng Jiawei.
