"Why is that chef still taking his time? Although there's no fixed time, he can't be like this."
"This Chinese chef only has one assistant chef, but the assistant chef is still standing at the side like a stone pillar."
"Could it be that he hasn't figured out how to cook it? If that's the case, he's too slow. "
Basically, all the head chefs on site had gone to the material warehouse behind to select the ingredients. In a few minutes, they had all finished selecting and came back. Only Yuan Zhou was still standing by the stove, which immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.
Cheng Zhao Mei was even more straightforward. In order not to hinder Yuan Zhou's performance and because she also had a task to complete, she directly shrank her presence and stood in the corner.
That was, the stone pillar in the corner.
Although it was a corner, the position was chosen by him after careful observation. He could directly see the whole scene on the stage, so the field of vision was quite good.
Although the field of vision was good, it also meant that he was quite far away from the stove, so his actions could be seen clearly.
Actually, the audience couldn't be blamed for being puzzled. Not to mention the head chef, the other assistant chefs were already very busy. Some were washing the vegetables, some were preparing the tableware, and some were carving the plates.
Anyway, it was a lively scene, and the sudden appearance of a quiet scene in a moving picture would naturally attract attention.
"Hua La, Hua La"
After arranging all the seasonings he brought, Yuan Zhou began to pick the tableware provided on the stove and started to wash the ones he needed.
"What's wrong? Since you're so good at cooking, why did you come to the competition to wash the dishes? Isn't it a waste of time?" Ju Man Li was always biased.
"Don't you know that old views can kill people? It's not wrong to say that you're old. Which famous chef doesn't have their own rules and habits? Why are you making such a fuss?" Ogyust even wanted to roll his eyes gracefully.
Compared to Ju Man Li's restlessness, Ogyust was quite calm no matter what Yuan Zhou did. He didn't believe that Yuan Zhou would fail with his culinary skills today.
He was looking forward to what delicacies Yuan Zhou could cook with the Bresse Chicken. Everything else was just fleeting.
Not to mention Ogyust, even Gauss and the rest were filled with anticipation. They weren't affected by Ju Man Lee's provocation at all. Maintaining their best condition and eating delicious food was a tacit understanding.
"Isn't there a saying in China? Whether it's a mule or a horse, we'll know after taking a walk. You guys keep praising him. It's useless to explain," Alexandra said meaningfully.
"Let's continue watching." Adelaide and Abby agreed.
They seemed to be speaking very politely, but this couldn't hide the fact that they were supporting Ju Man Lee's actions. Once a dispute arose, the Grandmasters' fighting strength was stronger, because they were Grandmasters, and they knew better.
While the judges were arguing, Yuan Zhou finished his chores and walked towards the food storage.
At this time, most of the head chefs had basically chosen the ingredients they wanted. When they saw Yuan Zhou enter at this time, they all looked at Yuan Zhou, who was moving forward steadily, with unclear meanings. They did not say anything and went to busy themselves.
As for mocking him to his face, the 30,000 people present were all famous people. Only a fool would do such a thing.
There was no one present who would lower the IQ of the crowd.
However, the thoughts in everyone's heart were definitely not known to others.
There were also some who were more vigilant, such as Stehle and Julien. They knew a little about Yuan Zhou's strength. Seeing Yuan Zhou's unhurried behavior, they definitely wouldn't think that Yuan Zhou had given up on the competition. It was obvious that he had a card up his sleeve.
"I'm already under so much pressure before the competition even starts. Looks like I have to show 120% of my culinary skills. Otherwise, if I get eliminated in the first round, my teacher will definitely not give me a good look," Stehle muttered to himself.
His teacher, Anthony, was sitting at the judging table, but Stehle had no intention of taking advantage of him.
Putting aside the fact that Anthony usually paid attention to the rules, the rules of the competition system would remove the highest score and the lowest score, and only take the average score. This would put an end to the strong individualism of the judges.
"My culinary skills are also very good. It won't be a problem for me to perform normally." Julien also made up his mind.
Yuan Zhou didn't know that he had aroused so many people's suspicions just by doing what he usually did. Of course, even if he knew, he would still do it.
It didn't take long for him to walk into the ingredient warehouse. It really lived up to its reputation as a warehouse. As soon as he walked in, he saw all kinds of ingredients. There were all kinds of local ingredients in France, such as the famous sausages of Lyon, seafood and fruits from Normandy, and some ingredients from other countries and regions. Of course, the most complete of all was spices and alcohol.
French cuisine used the most alcohol, so Yuan Zhou noticed that there were all kinds of wine on the shelves against the wall. There were all kinds of red wine, which showed that the organizing committee had put in a lot of effort.
Rows of Bresse Chicken of different breeds were placed neatly on a large table at the entrance, living up to its status as the main character of the night. It was originally full like a small mountain, but now there were many empty spots. Obviously, they had been picked by other chefs.
"Head Chef Ogyust and the organizing committee have really put in a lot of effort to reserve these ingredients." Yuan Zhou noticed that there were several unique ingredients of China in a corner.
The millet spicy, wild mountain pepper, and some mountain delicacies, which were unique to Sichuan Cuisine, were also unique to China and couldn't be found anywhere else. Yuan Zhou felt a burst of warmth in his heart.
No Asian chef had ever participated in such a grand event before. Naturally, it was prepared because he was going to participate this year.
Yuan Zhou picked a capon and a fat chicken. After he carefully checked the nameplate of the chicken and found there was no problem, he continued to pick the remaining side ingredients. He already knew what he wanted to cook.
"Dadada Ta"
It didn't take Yuan Zhou long to pick the ingredients. When he came out, there were still several head chefs in the ingredient warehouse who hadn't come out yet.
"Hiss"
After removing the special cloth cover of the Bresse Chicken, Yuan Zhou started to clean the chicken and prepared to cook.
The Bresse Chicken had such a noble status in France. Every chicken had its own identity certificate and so on. It wasn't only because of the tricolor on its body, which was equivalent to wearing the national flag, but also because of the unique way of raising it. As the first and only chicken in the legal production area, it was naturally extraordinary.
"The system is still more awesome." Yuan Zhou thought of the breeding method of the Melt-In-The-Mouth Chicken.
He felt that even if the Bresse Chicken knew about this, it would probably cry in the toilet. This was a treatment that even as a national chicken, it didn't have.
"Shua Shua Shua"
The first dish that Yuan Zhou was going to use was the chicken breast. Therefore, after he controlled the water in the chicken, he raised the knife in his hand and chopped it down. With just a few flashes of silver light, the entire chicken was directly separated from the meat.
Clean chicken bones were placed at the side, chicken skin was piled up, and meat was piled up. Everything was arranged neatly, without a single trace of unnecessary clutter.
