Although Su Cha's talent wasn't among the top of the nominal disciples, it was still relative. Compared to ordinary chefs, Su Cha was still a genius. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the top chef in Thailand.
Now, he had poked at a point that he could comprehend, so he gained something.
The knife light flashed in front of him, reminding him of the Chrysanthemum Cutting Knife he used, which was especially incomplete. He perfected it step by step in his mind.
Su Cha's eyes became brighter and brighter. Obviously, he had reached the critical moment.
On Yuan Zhou's side, it was almost over. The fresh flowers and green grass, as well as the dancing butterflies, were both vivid, moving, and quiet. It was truly wonderful.
Clang!
Yuan Zhou made a horizontal movement with his right hand and instantly cut off the excess ice cubes as if he were cutting a piece of tofu. It seemed to be a very rough technique, but it was quite suitable to combine the remaining burrs effectively with the scene just now.
"Good afternoon, Master." Su Cha, who had recovered a few seconds earlier, saw Yuan Zhou stop and immediately went up to greet him.
He was carrying a food box in his hand and bowing. This kind of etiquette was a little out of place.
"How do you feel about your homework this time?" Yuan Zhou asked while packing up.
Su Cha hurriedly let the customers into the restaurant and came out to help clean up. "It was indeed a little difficult. I only figured out the last difficulty after Senior Brother Dashi pointed it out."
Although Su Cha was not convinced by Senior Brother Dashi's reputation, he was still an honest and obedient person. When asked by Yuan Zhou, he naturally told him what happened in Japan.
Of course, he didn't know that Dashi was plotted against. The precise time was after Su Cha left, so he didn't know.
Those who had just met Dashi Xiujie didn't know, so naturally, Yuan Zhou didn't know either.
There were only small reports in Japan, so Dashi stopped the news. First, he didn't want his master to pay attention to him. Second, he thought that suing a radical for revenge was also a radical action. Anyway, he would get the verdict he deserved, so there was no need to use the media to influence the trial.
"It seems that Dashi has made rapid progress. You have done your homework well." Yuan Zhou nodded. Among his nominal disciples, Dashi Xiujie had made the fastest progress.
Swish! Swish!
The master and disciple worked very quickly. Not long after, they cleaned up the remaining ice chips and put them into a special bucket to prevent them from turning into water and wetting the street.
When they returned to the shop, Su Cha washed his hands before opening the lunchbox and taking out the oily green stuff.
It was really a field of green, and as it was brought out, Yuan Zhou's sensitive nose smelled a variety of stimulating scents.
This time, Yuan Zhou gave Su Cha the title: "Being able to make green curry that satisfies you". Of course, the key phrase was "sour and spicy naturally".
In Thailand, curry was also a common seasoning. Although it was not as crazy as in India, it was still added to many dishes.
In fact, when Su Cha first received the question, he thought it was very simple. The main ingredients of green curry were southern ginger and green pepper, so it was something that was slightly sour and spicy. It was too easy to succeed. But when he actually tried it, he realized how difficult it was to "satisfy" himself.
This was like how many writers liked to change their works. No matter how many times they changed it, they always felt that they could still be changed the next time.
Yuan Zhou's research on Thai cuisine was relatively deep. After all, he had been to Thailand on a public trip. Although he did not have a good impression of Thai cuisine, he still had to understand everything.
The main purpose of this question was to allow Su Cha to summarize and improve his cooking skills in the process, and to slowly touch upon his personal seasoning style.
"Tell me about the idea of cumin and lemon." Just by touching his nose, Yuan Zhou was able to tell most of the ingredients used by Su Cha. Obviously, Su Cha had replaced the lime rind with lemon juice and lemon leaves. Furthermore, the green curry required the roasting of cumin, but Su Cha had used more of it.
This was really … human behavior when you taste it, but when you smell it … it was inhuman.
"At first, I saw many famous chefs' improvements to green curry. I explored it bit by bit, but I was never satisfied.
"I made seven or eight versions. Later, I went to ask Senior Brother Dashi, and he told me that green curry is for the chef himself, so any changes must be in line with his cooking skills. Then I roughly understood. I'm good at cooking chicken dishes, so when I cook the lime peel, it will make the chicken taste a little astringent, so I made a big change. The amount of cumin is also in line with my current cooking skills, "Su Cha said.
This time, he was making green curry chicken. He cut the chicken into small cubes, and the chicken, which was basically the same size, was floating in the green soup. The chicken, which was supposed to be shiny and white, was covered with a layer of green gauze.
Taking the chopsticks handed to him by Su Cha, Yuan Zhou picked up a piece of chicken and put it into his mouth. An extremely sour taste spread in his mouth. He had originally thought his teeth would fall off due to the sourness, but suddenly, a spicy taste appeared. Combined with the degree of sourness, it seemed to be easy to accept. When he bit the chicken lightly, he found it smooth and tender. From inside to outside, it was very moist, as if it would disperse with a single bite.
After a moment of silence, Yuan Zhou said, "Very good, you have your own ideas. Although I think this green curry still has room for improvement, the question this time is to make green curry that you are satisfied with. It's based on your own analysis of cooking skills, so you pass this test."
Su Cha nodded when he heard that, feeling relieved.
As a teacher, Yuan Zhou hoped that his students would have a request and that they would return with a full load from him.
Su Cha took out a small notebook and began to ask questions he had accumulated this month.
The teacher and disciple went back and forth, one asking and one answering. Occasionally, Yuan Zhou would stand up and go to the kitchen to do some simple demonstrations. Time passed quietly in these minutes and seconds.
It was only when the alarm for the preparation of dinner ingredients rang that Su Cha woke up from his reverie.
When he came to the restaurant, Yuan Zhou had only finished one ice sculpture. By the time he finished the second one, it was only three o 'clock. It was already five o' clock now, so it was indeed getting late.
"Thank you, teacher. Thank you for your hard work," Su Cha thanked Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou waved his hand to indicate that he didn't mind. Seeing that Su Cha was basically fine, he went upstairs to wash up and change his clothes.
Su Cha took advantage of this time to organize his notes and see if there were any omissions. While his memory was still intact, he would fill in the gaps.
When Yuan Zhou came down, Su Cha bade farewell to Yuan Zhou and expressed his request to stay in line for dinner. Then, he went to wait outside the restaurant.
As a customer, everyone should be treated equally. One couldn't be treated differently just because one was a disciple. This was Yuan Zhou's rule. Whether it was Cheng Zhao Mei or the other registered disciples, they all kept it in mind.
"Duo duo, Suo Suo"
After Yuan Zhou washed his hands, he began to prepare the various ingredients. He chopped those that needed to be chopped and washed those that needed to be washed in advance. All the preparation work was carried out in an orderly manner.
It was rare for Yin Ya to come for dinner today, mainly because she had been getting off work late recently. Therefore, she rarely had the time to line up and could only wait to eat with Yuan Zhou. It was rare for her to get off work early today and come at the right time. She actually lined up behind Mao Xiong.
Zhou Xi wasn't here today.
Ever since Wuhai and Mao Xiong made their official announcement, Zhou Xi didn't follow behind them five out of ten times. Originally, he always followed them, but every day, he would be killed by their public display of affection.
Wuhai didn't know how to display affection, but Mao Xiong was good at it.
