No matter how enthusiastic the customers were, the breakfast time was only one hour. Most importantly, there were only 100 servings.
"I'm counting on Boss Yuan. I feel that without Boss Yuan, my business is not so good. I don't know if it's just an illusion," said a small fry restaurant nearby.
"It's not an illusion. My convenience store is very obvious," said a family convenience store diagonally opposite.
Originally, after breakfast, Yuan Zhou planned to write an article named My Experience with the Royal Chef. But last night, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan both called and made an appointment to come this morning. Therefore, after breakfast, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up and change a set of clothes.
For Head Chef Yang's Blade Sealing Banquet, the former chairman of Sichuan Cuisine Association and the chairman of Chef's Alliance were very eager. No matter how busy they were at the end of the year, they immediately took some time out.
From the side, it showed that although few people attended this Blade Sealing Banquet, it was really noticed by the Kitchen Altar.
Yuan Zhou took out the Pre-Ming Tea Box and took it to the stone table in the backyard, intending to make some tea. Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan also liked to drink tea. They talked about the Blade Sealing Banquet while drinking tea, which was quite comfortable.
There were also a lot of refreshments, such as Crispy Pineapple Buns and Chicken Pancakes.
After everything was ready, Yuan Zhou stood at the door, intending to welcome them, which was a sign of respect for the elders.
As the appointed time approached, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan did not let Yuan Zhou wait for long and appeared together.
"Yuan, did I delay you today?" Zhou Shijie was a little embarrassed.
"We are too capricious. But Head Chef Yang has not appeared in the Kitchen Altar for a long time. I remember the last time was the Chef's Assembly of the Chef's Alliance four years ago," said Zhang Yan.
"Four years ago, he only appeared as a judge. If we really want to talk about cooking, it will be two years ago," said Zhou Shijie.
Zhang Yan said, "Yes, sorry to disturb you, Yuan."
"It's okay. I have gained a lot from this Blade Sealing Banquet. It's a good opportunity to communicate with Uncle Zhang and Uncle Zhou," said Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou's words made Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan feel much better.
"That's good. Come on, let's talk about the Dao-sealing Feast first. Which chefs attended it?" Zhou Shijie hurriedly asked while following Yuan Zhou.
Seeing that Zhou Shijie had already asked, Zhang Yan followed behind and pricked up his ears to listen. He was also very curious.
This was one of the few times Yuan Zhou had seen President Zhou Shijie so anxious in the past few years. It could be seen that he attached great importance to this Saber Sealing Feast.
"Head Chef Yang and the other three heirs of the Imperial Chef Clans will attend the Conferred Blade Banquet. Head Chef Wang Ying of Zhejiang Cuisine, Bei Kouli of Cantonese Cuisine …"
After it ended, all the chefs present exchanged contact information with Yuan Zhou. In Cantonese cuisine, even Song Ming had to call Yuan Zhou senior, which was equivalent to the Old Master Wang of Jiangsu cuisine.
"It turns out that Old Bei and Old Geng are also here. But why is Wang Ying here?" Zhang Yan found a very discordant name.
Zhou Shijie thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, Wang Ying was once apprenticed to Imperial Chef Ge's father when he was young. Moreover, Wang Ying is very close to the heir of the Imperial Chef. This should be the reason."
Zhang Yan suddenly understood and then said, "No wonder Old Yang's Blade Sealing Feast is held. Indeed, only people of virtue and prestige can attend it." Zhang Yan was shocked by this lineup.
Except for Wang Ying, the rest had basically retired from the cooking world. After all, they were already old.
Yuan Zhou of Virtue and Prestige was silent for a while. When he said this, did he forget someone?
"Uncle Zhou, Uncle Zhang, come, let's sit down. I will tell you slowly," Yuan Zhou came back to his senses and asked Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie to sit down. After pouring a cup of tea for them, he said slowly.
"Yuan deserves to be able to attend this Blade Sealing Feast. With your culinary skills, I reckon Old Yang and the others will also be very shocked. Not to mention Sichuan cuisine, the other cuisines are all top-notch. Therefore, I asked those Sichuan cuisine chefs to learn more from you, Yuan," Zhang Yan said sincerely.
"Aren't you making things difficult for those Sichuan cuisine chefs? Can Yuan learn from them? I have never asked Shandong cuisine chefs to learn from Yuan. They can't learn, "Zhou Shijie said.
"That's true. Actually, I don't need much. Even if it's just two points, I also think it's very good." Zhang Yan thought for a while and nodded in agreement with Zhou Shijie's idea.
"Two points is also a lot. If Shandong cuisine can have one point, I think it's very good to have a few more chefs." Zhou Shijie was also very honest.
Zhou Chui and Zhang Chui kept praising him. Yuan Zhou was thick-skinned. Although he was not embarrassed, he still had to keep a low profile.
Of course, the key point was that Yuan Zhou also deserved such praises. Even Zhou Shijie was not qualified to attend the Blade Sealing Feast, but Yuan Zhou did.
They continued talking about the Blade Sealing Feast. At the beginning, they talked about the Blade Sealing Hall, because Yuan Zhou had never thought that there would be a Blade Sealing Hall specifically for him.
After that, the dishes of the Blade Sealing Hall were officially introduced.
"The first dish of the Blade Sealing Feast is Clear Sauce Pork. The Clear Sauce Pork cooked by Head Chef Yang is innovative in the traditional way. Not only in the way of eating, but also in the way of marinating the meat. Besides, the Knife Skills are quite excellent. And the second dish …"
Yuan Zhou knew that Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan were very curious about everything about the Blade Sealing Feast. Therefore, he started to talk about the first dish, followed by the second and the third. As long as it was a dish that appeared in the Blade Sealing Feast, Yuan Zhou would describe it in detail. Incidentally, he also told them about his own experience.
While listening to Yuan Zhou's experience, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan also talked about their own thoughts. Although they did not attend the feast in person, their decades of culinary experience were not fake. Just by listening to Yuan Zhou's words, they already had a lot of ideas.
"After the Blade Sealing Feast, I also cooked a deer's head. In order to solve the sourness of the deer's head, I used the cooking method of Guizhou Cuisine." Yuan Zhou slowly brought out his own opinion.
"Deer's head? Not many people cook it. If it's braised, it should be difficult to get rid of the sourness. What's your cooking method, Yuan?" Zhou Shijie asked on hearing that.
"I did come across it once. Back then, I was lucky enough to obtain a deer. I used the deer's head to roast it. The aroma of the roasted deer head can solve the sourness of the meat," Zhang Yan interjected.
"Uncle Zhang, it turns out that you have also cooked it. Could you tell me more about it?" Yuan Zhou asked.
Actually, when he cooked the deer's head at the Blade Sealing Feast, it was a temporary recipe. Even though he had already tried it and all the grandmasters approved of it, Yuan Zhou was still curious when he heard about it. He always had a rich exploration of delicacies.
Next, the three of them talked about the dishes of the Blade Sealing Feast. One was a grandmaster of Shandong Cuisine, the other was a grandmaster of Sichuan Cuisine, and the last one was a master of six cuisines that surpassed the grandmaster level.
Time passed while they were communicating with each other. Soon, it was time for Yuan Zhou to prepare lunch. Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan both decided to have lunch here before they left. After all, it was not easy for them to come here.
The communication was very successful. The tea and refreshments were also delicious. If there were no accidents, it would be a successful conclusion. However, there was an accident.
What was unexpected was that Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan heard another thing, which shocked them greatly.
"Yuan, you mean Mr. Yang, Mr. Ge, and Mr. Mo have all joined your Famous Chefs' Union?"
"And they are even the executive directors?!"
It was impossible for them not to be shocked. Previously, they had been astonished that Yuan Zhou could invite Mr. Ma to be the vice chairman.
Later, they felt that Mr. Ma might have regarded Yuan Zhou as his successor, so it was understandable.
But now, all the successors of the four imperial chefs were captured in one fell swoop, which was really too exaggerated.
When Yuan Zhou talked about it, he naturally couldn't say what he did. But now, Zhang Yan and Chairman Zhou could also imagine Yuan Zhou's performance at the Blade Sealing Feast.
Zhang Yan said, "I used to want you to be the chairman of Sichuan Cuisine, Yuan. Now, it seems that fortunately I didn't insist."
"Yuan, your Famous Chefs' Union is going to surpass the Chefs' Union." Zhou Shijie paused for a while and said gloomily. How could he ask Yuan Zhou to be the chairman of the Chefs' Union?
