This group of people were the chefs. In the WeChat group, apart from the diners, there were also many lurkers. Just like the Lybs, they didn't communicate with each other. They just dove into the water and almost drowned.
Of course, they would also go to The Kitchen God to eat. They were also diners.
However, their purpose of joining the group was to follow in Boss Yuan's footsteps. For example, Kang Hu who won the "Yuan Shi Most Anticipated Chef".
"Shandong Cuisine. I have to look at Shandong Cuisine and try to win the award this year." Kang Hu pondered.
"You have to study Shandong Cuisine. The Sichuan Cuisine Competition at the end of the year is coming." A chef friend heard Kang Hu's murmur and advised him.
"It's like losing a watermelon to pick up a sesame seed. Do you think the Yuan Shi Most Anticipated Chef Award or the Sichuan Cuisine Chef of the Year Award is more important?" Kang Hu questioned.
"Well, you're right." The chef friend thought for a while and nodded his head. The Yuan Shi Most Anticipated Chef Award was indeed more important.
Unknowingly, the Yuan Shi Award, which had been established for two years, had surpassed the Sichuan Cuisine Association in the hearts of the chefs in Sichuan.
In addition, as the manager of Yuan Shi Restaurant Discussion and Yuan Ping Website, Cheng Ying had been busy recently. As the daughter of Engineer Cheng, she naturally heard about the news that her Teacher's father had accepted a nominal disciple.
Cheng Ying could foresee that once the nominal disciple was accepted, the influence of the Yuan Shi Award would definitely go beyond Sichuan. Cheng Ying's goal was to make the Yuan Shi Award an award on the same level as the China Golden Chef Award.
The China Golden Chef Award was awarded by the China Chefs' Alliance. It was a national award and also the highest award in the Chinese chefs' circle.
However, the award was mainly given to gourmet management and organizations that made breakthroughs in cooking skills, not individual chefs.
As for the Yuan Shi Award, it was to honor individual chefs. Cheng Ying felt that it was a perfect complement.
Back to the topic. While they were discussing in the group, the dishes were finally served.
"Uncle Zhou, try the shredded yam." Yuan Zhou personally carried it to Zhou Shijie.
As a dessert, the shredded yam had the characteristics of sweet and sticky, sweet, crisp and fragrant. Of course, the speed of cooking was also one of its characteristics.
In the Qing Dynasty, there was a scholar from the Hanlin Academy who explained in detail how to make the shredded yam in his Introduction to Vegetarian Cuisine. One could imagine how famous this dish was.
Shredding was an important cooking technique of Boshan cuisine in Shandong Cuisine. As the saying went, everything could be shredded … and shredded yam could be regarded as the representative series of Boshan cuisine.
As a Master of Shandong Cuisine, Zhou Shijie's dishes were naturally targeted and covered several cuisines of Shandong Cuisine. Among them, they were the dishes that could best embody the characteristics of the cuisines. It could be seen how much effort he put into making the dishes.
The shredded yam was placed on a big, light blue plate. The yam was covered with a layer of yellowish syrup, which looked sweet and delicious. There was a plate and a bowl in the white glazed porcelain bowl, which was filled with ordinary cold water. Of course, the water was definitely not ordinary water.
How could anything from the system be bad?
Was Fat Tiger too tired to hold the knife, or was the system not flirtatious enough?
The shredded yam was served with a bowl of water to prevent the customers from scalding their mouths. Many people would first rinse the shredded yam in the water to get rid of the excess heat and reach a temperature that could be eaten.
"Hiss"
Zhou Shijie smiled slightly and picked up a piece of yam with his chopsticks. From the moment the chopsticks picked up the yam, a silver thread appeared on the yam.
The sugar thread was crystal clear and tough. As Zhou Shijie's chopsticks moved away, it kept extending, but there was no sign of it breaking.
"Not bad. The heat control is quite outstanding." Zhou Shijie's eyes were filled with joy.
The chopsticks circled the yam several times and finally wrapped around the sugar thread. He quickly put it in the bowl to rinse it and found that the water in the bowl was basically the same. There was no embarrassment of the sugar falling into the water. It could be seen that Yuan Zhou's control of heat control had reached the point of perfection.
When he put it in his mouth, the first thing he felt was a heat that his oral cavity could accept, followed by a sweet feeling, and finally, the soft yam. The taste was distinct. It was obviously a sweet dish, but when he ate it, he found that it was completely different from the sweet dish he had imagined.
"The heat control of the syrup is just right. The yam is soft and has a hint of bitterness, but it just combines the sweetness of the sugar. There is also a hint of the fragrance of osmanthus. This syrup is stir-fried with sugar and osmanthus. The unique astringency of osmanthus, the bitterness of the yam, and the sweetness of the sugar are perfectly matched. It's quite outstanding." Zhou Shijie ate to his heart's content.
Of course, he didn't forget what he was here for. While enjoying the delicacies, he would also talk about his feelings.
As expected of a dish that could reach the level of Yuan Zhou's menu. It was indeed of a very high standard, and Zhou Shijie was very satisfied.
Subsequently, the Milk Soup Cattail from Jinan Cuisine, the Cloth Bag Chicken from Kongfu Cuisine, and the Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions from Jiaodong Cuisine all gave Zhou Shijie a great surprise. As expected of Yuan Zhou, he simply amazed the world with a single brilliant feat.
The sea cucumber in the Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions was the sea cucumber soaked by Yuan Zhou himself, which was officially soaked last night. After being carefully processed by Yuan Zhou and adding his own unique ideas, the Braised Sea Cucumber with Scallions was already different from the first time he made it. Therefore, this dish was the most surprising one for Zhou Shijie.
In the end, Zhou Shijie was stuffed and finished the dish unknowingly. In the end, he found that he didn't even need to wash the plates as he was so full that he couldn't be any fuller. It was probably the state after eating a buffet. Although he didn't need to hold the wall to walk out because he wanted to save his face, he still walked slowly.
"I just feel that Yuan's Shandong Cuisine is better than Cantonese Cuisine and Suzhou Cuisine. Hahaha." Zhou Shijie left immediately after he finished the meal without saying anything to Zhou Xi.
With a new topic to talk about, Zhou Shijie didn't feel stuffed anymore and even his footsteps became lighter. This was probably what the so-called old and young were like.
Taking Wuhai as an example, he ate no less than 20 dishes before wiping his mouth and leaving neatly.
Only after seeing off the last customer did Su Ruoyan let out a sigh of relief. The restaurant appeared to be extraordinarily busy today.
"Boss, I'm sorry. I didn't notice a new dish was served today and didn't inform the customers in time." Su Ruoyan directly apologized to Yuan Zhou.
She knew that it was the employees who informed the customers about the new dishes in the restaurant. The boss didn't care about these things.
"It's me who didn't inform you in advance. It's normal that you didn't know." Yuan Zhou didn't think it was a big deal.
"I will definitely pay attention next time." Su Ruoyan bit her lips and said.
She secretly made up her mind that such a thing would never happen again. From then on, Su Ruoyan had a habit of flipping through the menu every day so that she wouldn't miss out on the opportunity when Yuan Zhou served a new dish.
"It's okay. Go back now. Be careful on the way back." Yuan Zhou said.
"Goodbye, boss." Su Ruoyan waved her hand and left.
Yuan Zhou stood at the door and watched her leave. Then, he went upstairs to wash up. He still had to prepare the Hangover Set Meal of the pub later.
The number of people ordering Shandong Cuisine was gradually increasing. It should be spread by the customers. Therefore, Yuan Zhou wasn't curious about this. What Yuan Zhou was more curious about was that the number of people ordering plain water was increasing every day.
Although the reward of plain water had been obtained for a long time, as the Welcoming Set Meal originally included water, very few people ordered plain water. Even fewer people noticed that they could order plain water. After all, it was much better to order a cup of watermelon juice at this price.
But it seemed that the number of people ordering plain water had been increasing since a week ago.
