When the others heard the words of Ogyust, they also looked at Yuan Zhou curiously. Although they had not seen Yuan Zhou before, they had more or less heard of Yuan Zhou's name. After all, the task of becoming famous in Europe and Asia was not done for nothing.
"Chef Ogyust, Chef Ju Man Lee, Chef Opello … Long time no see, everyone."
After greeting everyone, Yuan Zhou found that almost half of the people who had come were very familiar with each other. Some of the people he was not familiar with also had connections. For example, Youichiro Sanada from Japan. He could be said to be the peak of the food and beverage industry in Japan.
He was 85 years old and had always been the kind of person who had never met him before.
Originally, Yuan Zhou had wanted to visit Youichiro Sanada when he went to Japan. After all, Youichiro Sanada was a senior in cooking. At that time, his Japanese food was not so exquisite. Unfortunately, Sanada was not there at that time, so he could only regrettably miss it.
No matter where they were, people liked to follow the crowd. Half of the people greeted Yuan Zhou warmly, and the other half naturally greeted Yuan Zhou as well. Otherwise, it would be seen as unsociable.
Of course, it was only limited to greeting.
When Ju Man Lee said that he would ask a question, it was really a question, and it was a relatively high-end question. At least, there were only a few people who could answer it. However, Yuan Zhou's explanation made everyone's faces suddenly show a look of enlightenment. Because what Yuan Zhou said was easy to understand, almost anyone who dabbled in cooking could understand it, not to mention that everyone here was a big shot in the cooking world, so it was not a problem.
Because almost everyone who learned cooking could understand it, the half of the people who were not very familiar with Yuan Zhou were shocked. It was not that some of them could not answer this question, but they had never thought of such a concise and clear answer that took care of everyone. It was not that they could not think of it, but they had never thought of it at all.
From this, not only could they see Yuan Zhou's solid basic skills, but they could also see a thing or two about his care for other people, whether they were chefs or diners.
Their eyes revealed some respect, and they began to join in the conversation. For a moment, Yuan Zhou seemed to have become the center of attention.
Time passed slowly, and the meeting officially began at nine o 'clock. Operello was the host of the meeting. The meeting was divided into two parts. For the first two days, they were all discussing problems. It was a bit like an academic seminar. The topics of discussion were definitely about cooking, and the questions they raised were naturally not trivial. The people present represented the highest level of cooking in the world. Apart from pondering over their questions themselves, only the people present were qualified to verify their answers with each other.
Otherwise, others might not even be able to understand the questions. This was the original purpose of the Ankara Conference. The last day was a time to learn from each other's cooking skills. Of course, it could also be said to be a showcase of cooking skills from various countries.
Almost all the powerful countries had one person in each country. Therefore, when everyone gathered together, they naturally needed to show their own food culture, so that everyone present could see what it was like. There was an ancient saying in Huaxia, "Whether it's a mule or a horse, you'll know if it's a mule or a horse."
Before coming here, Yuan Zhou already knew the process, and he was fully prepared. But to be honest, there was no problem that Yuan Zhou could not solve at the moment. Except for the fact that he was not clear about the main task, he certainly could not bring it out for discussion.
But he was not sure, and he felt that there were also other problems that could be explained. For example, if fresh daylily was poisonous, then in addition to the sterilization effect of sun-drying and sunlight, how else could it be used to remove the toxins from fresh daylily and let people use fresh varieties? Or if ham itself was acidic, then how could it be used to make the best use of its acidic characteristics, and so on.
These were all problems that already had a solution. What Yuan Zhou was looking for was several more solutions. He had prepared several sets of plans, all of which were methods that had already been experimented on and had obtained experimental data. Instead of saying it was a discussion, it would be better to say it was a demonstration to promote the methods and let more people know about them.
After Yuan Zhou's research, these methods were more simple and suitable for daily life.
It was conceivable that when Yuan Zhou took out the questions, all the cooking masters present were very surprised. After all, they originally gathered together to discuss difficult problems, but they never thought that through this conference, they would determine some processing methods of ingredients and promote them to benefit thousands of families. It was not an empty saying that food was the most important thing for people.
"Yuan, no wonder he can join us at such a young age. Not only is his cooking talent and strength superior to most people, but also his thinking is different. In the future, we still need to trouble Yuan more."
Mr. Badham, who was the president of the Ankara Conference Organizing Committee at the age of 80, was very optimistic about Yuan Zhou and had the intention of taking him as his successor.
There was no such thing as retirement in their organization. After all, the older they were, the more experience they had. In terms of cooking skills, except for their hands-on ability, they were superior to others in everything else. The most valuable thing was the experience and experience in their minds.
Many people present didn't agree with Badhan's idea. However, they were all people with good manners. Besides, Yuan Zhou was indeed young and had limitless potential. Therefore, those who could sit here all hoped that the culinary circle would get better and better. Even if it wasn't in their own country, it was still a human being.
Most of those who disagreed wanted to let Yuan Zhou broaden his horizons on the last day. They wanted to see the strength of these old guys so that he wouldn't be arrogant or rash and could move forward bravely. It was still too early for some things.
Of course, these people definitely did not include Ogyust and others who were very familiar with Yuan Zhou. No one knew Yuan Zhou's strength better than them.
During the two days, the problems raised by everyone varied from difficult to easy. Some walked into a dead end and couldn't get out of it, and some ran wildly on the wrong road but couldn't be pulled back by eight horses. However, after sitting together and having such a discussion, the problems basically became clear.
In fact, the Ankara Conference was similar to the Famous Chef Gatherings held by Yuan Zhou, at least in the first half. One was a low-level version, while the other was a high-level version.
"It seems that the Famous Chef Gatherings have to be adhered to as always in the future. However, some rules can be changed with reference to this conference." Yuan Zhou attached more importance to the Famous Chef Gatherings.
Many years later, when Yuan Zhou deserved to be the best in the world and there was no dispute, the Famous Chef Gatherings of Huaxia would suddenly rise and become a pilgrimage place for chefs all over the world, on par with the Ankara Conference. Many people were proud of being able to attend the conference.
At present, regarding the reform of this conference, Yuan Zhou only had a prototype. More of it needed to be discussed with others before it could be implemented.
Now, Yuan Zhou focused his attention on the discussion. Two days passed in a flash. Those who came to participate in the conference all felt that it was not enough. Almost all of them were people with the same strength. Although there were some who were stronger and some who were weaker, the difference was not too big. It was rare to see people who could speak freely and connect their own thoughts. However, there were many of them here. Naturally, everyone hoped that time would pass more slowly.
The discussion took two days, but the highlight of the Ankara Conference was just about to begin!
