Miraculously, when Head Chef Song's friends found out about his crazy idea, many of them objected.
Even if Head Chef Yuan didn't care about the knife technique, what about the other chefs in Gao Gou?
After all, it was a knife technique that they were proud of. If others learned it, how could they make a living?
Not only did Head Chef Song perform the knife technique, but he also gave a detailed explanation to the questions he raised.
At that time, Head Chef Song was very calm, "Since Head Chef Yuan is not afraid of showing his high culinary skills, why should I be afraid of my low culinary skills?"
Yuan Zhou didn't know about this. When he heard Master Song's question and saw the knife technique, he understood it clearly.
As someone who possessed two kinds of collection-level knife techniques, Yuan Zhou was very knowledgeable. He could see the problem at a glance.
"I have a new idea about Head Chef Song's knife technique," Yuan Zhou began.
Head Chef Song's knife technique mainly used the rotating knife. All chefs knew that there were about 12 kinds of knife techniques: cutting, slicing, peeling, chopping, chopping, splitting, picking, slapping, gouging, spinning, scraping, and carving.
As a rotating knife, it was very pleasing to the eye. But sometimes, too much attention was paid to the "rotating" knife.
For example, when changing the knife, it needed to be rolled cut. Yuan Zhou demonstrated his idea and Master Song gained a lot.
In the three-day meeting, some extremely difficult questions would appear from time to time, such as the pufferfish and Master Song's knife technique. But there were also many simple questions. Of course, they were only relatively difficult.
Most of the time, they worked behind closed doors. Therefore, many questions could be easily solved with the brainstorming of several chefs. Moreover, there was also Yuan Zhou to back them up.
"So far, the High Groove Meeting has come to an end. I've answered all your questions. I've gained a lot this time. I believe everyone here has also gained a lot. If there are no more questions." If there are no questions, Yuan Zhou paused for a while. When he saw that everyone had no questions, he continued, "I hereby declare the third meeting a complete success."
"Clap, clap, clap, clap."
As soon as Yuan Zhou finished speaking, everyone started applauding enthusiastically. Then, they stood up in unison and bowed slightly to Yuan Zhou, "Thank you for sharing, Head Chef Yuan. We have benefited a lot this time."
The 56 people present spoke in unison. They did not deliberately raise their voices, but their gratitude came from the bottom of their hearts.
Only they themselves knew how much they had gained from this trip. It wasn't just their own problem, they had also learned from others to make up for their shortcomings. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a cartload of goods.
"It's my duty to lead this event. Let's make progress together," Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
Although Yuan Zhou said so and thought so, everyone's gratitude didn't change. Everyone knew what they were like in the past.
All good things must come to an end. The Highditch Meeting had finally come to an end. Everyone began to pack up and prepare to leave.
"Um, wait. Head Chef Yuan must have seen my knife skills in the past. That's why he could improve it," Head Chef Song had a doubt in his mind. Then, he found a reasonable explanation.
It was an hour earlier than the estimated time. It was only four o 'clock now. Yuan Zhou looked at the time and considered whether he should read or practice his knife skills after returning to the restaurant. This was a problem.
At this moment, a series of messy and orderly footsteps could be heard. There seemed to be a lot of people. As the footsteps became more and more obvious, everyone realized that they were coming for the meeting room.
Yuan Zhou was the first to hear the sound. He also heard some familiar footsteps. He turned his head and looked at the door, "Is it Zhao Mei coming to congratulate the end of the meeting?"
When the meeting had just started, Zhao Mei, who had been staying at the meeting room, took the opportunity to ask for leave from Yuan Zhou, saying that she had something important to do and had to leave first.
Yuan Zhou didn't think much before agreeing. Now, it seemed that she was probably preparing a surprise.
"This disciple of Zhao Mei has too many ideas. But her culinary skills are not bad. She is also very hardworking," thought Yuan Zhou.
Soon, a figure appeared at the door. However, it was not Zhao Mei. Instead, it was a person dressed in a snow-white chef's uniform. His white hair was neatly tucked into the chef's hat, revealing his silver-white sideburns. His face was covered in wrinkles and some age spots. With one look, one could tell that he wasn't young.
This was Head Chef Qi Menhua, also known as the King of Spiciness in Sichuan Cuisine. The old man's cooking skills in spiciness had once swept the entire Sichuan Cuisine world, and no one could match him. He was already 70 years old this year and was the honorary vice president of the Sichuan Cuisine Association.
Yuan Zhou was very curious about why it was Head Chef Qi. He stood up and was about to welcome him. However, Head Chef Qi had already glanced around the meeting room and walked straight to Yuan Zhou. He placed the thing that he had been holding in his hands on the table in front of Yuan Zhou and said, "Head Chef Yuan, although I've only met you a few times, I know that your culinary skills are really good."
It was a pair of good quality mahogany chopsticks tied with a golden silk ribbon. It was placed neatly in front of Yuan Zhou.
After that, Head Chef Qi nodded at Yuan Zhou and walked to the back of the meeting room. Before Yuan Zhou could understand what was going on, another person entered. This person was also dressed in a neat chef's uniform and was not young. It just so happened that Yuan Zhou knew him. He was also the director of the Sichuan Cuisine Association, Head Chef Xie.
He was quite famous in the Sichuan Cuisine circle. Before Yuan Zhou and Cheng Zhao Mei, Head Chef Xie was the well-deserved leader of the Sichuan Cuisine Association. He was as famous as President Zhang Yan.
Head Chef Xie entered the room and did the same thing as Head Chef Qi. He first looked around and then went straight to Yuan Zhou and said, "Head Chef Yuan, nice to meet you. I hope I can always eat your dishes in the future."
Then, he placed the thing in his hands on the table in front of Yuan Zhou. It was a pair of bamboo chopsticks in a transparent box. The craftsmanship was very good and one could even smell the faint bamboo fragrance.
Then, he did the same thing as Head Chef Qi, walking to the back of the meeting room and standing right beside Head Chef Qi.
"Looks like there's something going on?"
Yuan Zhou's heart skipped a beat, but he maintained a calm expression. He knew it couldn't be that simple, so he stood there calmly.
As expected, a third person entered the room and did the same thing. Then, a fourth, a fifth, and finally, Engineer Cheng entered. He was dressed neatly just like the previous people. In his hands was a pair of black chopsticks wrapped in a black ribbon. Yuan Zhou had good eyesight. He could tell at a glance that the chopsticks were made of black sandalwood and were worth a lot of money.
Cheng Zhao Mei walked to Yuan Zhou with a solemn expression. She placed the chopsticks on the empty spot on the table and then bowed slightly to Yuan Zhou, "Master, it's my honor to be able to witness this moment."
Like the dozens of people before him, he walked to the back of the meeting room and stood there. At this time, the back of the meeting room was already packed with people. Yuan Zhou counted in his heart. Including Zhao Mei, there were a total of 38 people.
Just as Zhao Mei stood there, another person entered the room. It was the former chairman of the Sichuan Cuisine Association, Zhang Yan. He was also holding a pair of chopsticks in his hands, but this pair was much more conspicuous. It was a pair of shiny golden chopsticks.
Following the same procedure, he stacked the chopsticks and said to Yuan Zhou, "Head Chef Yuan is the pride of our Sichuan Cuisine."
Then, Zhang Yan stood straight with a solemn expression and said, "After the approval of all 39 famous chefs of Sichuan Cuisine, we have unanimously decided to award the Sichuan Cuisine Old Chef Achievement to Head Chef Yuan. Congratulations, Yuan Zhou."
At the end of his speech, Zhang Yan looked at Yuan Zhou with a smile.
