Ever since he had gotten the Carving Skills Part One, Part Two, Yuan Zhou could be considered bald in the field of Carving Skills.
What was bald? It meant that he had become stronger, but he had also become bald.
Of course, even so, he did not fall behind in his afternoon practice. He practiced both soft and hard carving.
When Yuan Zhou was shopping today, he found a giant white radish. It was well-proportioned and slender, which gave him some inspiration. Hence, he bought it.
Hence, when Kaman, Kumi and Bauer saw this scene, it was the time when Yuan Zhou was about to start carving.
Today's weather was pretty good. There was a little sun, and the warm winter sun shone quietly on Taoxi Road.
When the passing tourists and passersby saw Yuan Zhou, they knew that the classic scene of Taoxi Road had been recreated.
The sun shone on the sharp kitchen knife, which glowed with silver light. The blade was very sharp.
"Isn't this Yuan?" Bauer asked. He looked familiar.
He looked unbelievably young, but as a chef, intuition was very useful. Bauer's intuition told him that this was Yuan Zhou.
Kaman was the one who knew Yuan Zhou the best. After all, he had found a variety show called Niu Zai, and his appearance was almost the same as in the show.
"That's right, it's Yuan." Kaman confirmed.
"I heard that many Chinese chefs use a knife to process their ingredients. Yuan should be one of the best. I finally get to see it today." Kumi's focus was different.
Yuan Zhou planned to carve a flute. He already knew the angle of the knife and the overall layout.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The knife flashed. Every time the knife passed, some of the radish's flesh would leave the fat body. Sometimes it was the thin skin, sometimes it was the translucent flesh. Slowly, the radish began to transform under Yuan Zhou's knife.
It might be light, steady, or upright, but they all had one thing in common. Fast!
"I want to record this carving. This is a miracle." Bauer whispered excitedly, fumbling for his phone.
"I've already started recording," Kaman said while fiddling with his phone attentively while staring at Yuan Zhou's movements.
"Bauer, you're too slow," Kumi added.
As for the question of speed and slowness, Bauer really wanted to argue about it. However, there was an outstanding knife skill on display, so he put it aside for now and continued to watch Yuan Zhou.
He saw Yuan Zhou holding the carrot in one hand and the kitchen knife in the other. If Zhao Lunzai was there, he would definitely notice that Yuan Zhou's knife skills had improved compared to when he was carving 108 generals.
With a face like white jade, phoenix eyes and cherry lips, little by little, the appearance of a lady slowly took shape under his knife. Yuan Zhou, who was fully focused, did not pay attention to the situation around him, so he did not know that three foreigners were attracted by his carving skills, and two western food masters were shocked by his knife skills again.
As time passed, the appearance of the court lady had completely taken shape. She was wearing a chest-length skirt with fluttering silk embroidered patterns. She also wore a pair of small and exquisite embroidered shoes on her feet. She looked extremely beautiful.
The onlookers, including Kaman and the other two, began to exclaim in surprise, but only for a short while before everyone realized that they could not disturb Yuan Zhou. They kept their mouths shut, and did not need the reminder from the queuing committee.
"This is art!" Kaman's eyes widened, and he suppressed the urge to cry out for God.
That's right. Watching Yuan Zhou carve was like watching a feast of art. Superb skills, impeccable speed, and a perfect product. Everyone was fascinated by it.
Half an hour later, Yuan Zhou's carving was complete. Yuan Zhou used a kitchen knife to carve the half-meter-tall carrot into a standing statue of a Tang dynasty lady. The lady held a flute in her hand, facing her mouth. She was obviously playing the flute. Her slender fingers were pressed against the corresponding holes. It was a horizontal flute.
"I think I see God holding a knife." Bauer wished his eyes could open wider.
When he saw the 108 generals, he thought that Yuan Zhou's skills were excellent, but he did not feel it directly. He only watched the video and felt that his knife skills could reach five or six of Yuan Zhou's. Now that he saw it live, Bauer felt that his knife skills could reach four at most. That was already his best estimate.
"Difficult to surpass, difficult to surpass," Kumi repeated twice.
"I thought the carving at the auction was a masterpiece, but now it looks like it's just an ordinary work. I wonder if I can sell it." Kaman was eager to try.
In fact, when it came to carving 108 generals, it was indeed a masterpiece, but Yuan Zhou had improved. To be more precise, this sculpture that shocked Kaman, Bauer, and Kumi was not Yuan Zhou's best work.
After Yuan Zhou finished sculpting, he found it was almost time to prepare dinner. Therefore, he moved the sculpted court lady to the bottom of the shelf at the side and tidied up the scraps. After that, he walked into the restaurant, intending to wash up and prepare dinner.
During this time, no one went to disturb Yuan Zhou. They all knew the rules. Kaman and the others did not know, but they were people who followed the crowd. Seeing that no one moved, they did not move either.
"Come, let's line up for dinner," Kaman said to Bauer and Kumi.
Of course, it was more practical to look at the sculpture before moving. Kaman did the same.
Kaman and the other two had found out about the need to line up in Yuanzhou shop. After all, this was the basic rule of The Kitchen God.
When they found out about this, Kumi and Bauer were in disbelief. How could such a famous chef not need to make an appointment?
In France and Europe, as long as it was a Michelin star restaurant, one needed to make an appointment. Many of them were not cooked by the head chef.
When lining up, there were members of the Queuing Committee to manage the order. Occasionally, there were foreigners who came alone, and the Queuing Committee would guide them on how to get the correct number. Kaman, Kumi, and Bauer were able to get a place in the second echelon.
As long as nothing happened to the black beast, it would be his. Kaman did not recognize Wu Hai. The reason was simple. Wu Hai's style did not resemble that of a world-famous artist. Of course, part of the reason was that Kaman's attention was on Yuan Zhou.
Soon, it was Kaman's turn to enter the restaurant. The three of them were well prepared. Each of them had found a dish and written it down on a piece of paper. The three of them planned to order one dish each and take their time.
The dishes that the three of them chose were all from the Sichuan cuisine series. Kaman chose Lee Zhuang Pork, Bauer chose Mapo Tofu, and Kumi chose Sichuan Boiled Fish. He liked to eat fish, so he had specially chosen this dish.
In fact, it did not matter which dish they chose. They believed that a chef with such great carving skills could not make a bad dish. Especially after seeing the live version of the carving, this belief was strengthened.
