Speaking of which, Chu Xiao was also a weirdo. If ordinary people took Yuan Zhou as an opponent or a reference, they would absolutely despair.
For example, you had a friend who grew up with you. When you were younger, you were 1.1m tall and he was 1.2m tall. However, when you were still 1.3m tall, your friend had already grown to 1.7m.
Then, you worked harder and drank milk, but your friend had already grown to 1.9m. Is there any meaning in that?
Therefore, it was reasonable for Wuhai to call Chu Xiao Second Rash Chu Xiao. The stronger Yuan Zhou was, the more motivated he was to become stronger. This was probably the genius among geniuses, the strong endurance.
Zhou Shijie recalled the movements of Yuan Zhou just now and found Chu Xiao was right. He indeed didn't use the thin, long and thin knife that Butcher Ding used to dismember the ox. He couldn't help gasping.
It was true that Chu Xiao knew Yuan Zhou best.
"Yuan has made such rapid progress. It seems that I can't slack off on myself." Whenever Zhou Shijie thought of Yuan Zhou's routine, he felt his scalp tingle.
He was getting old and didn't have the energy anymore.
The uproar on the stage didn't affect the host. After the goose was taken a cold bath, Yuan Zhou used a hollowed flat sieve to drain the goose, intending to control the moisture.
At that time, Yuan Zhou intended to prepare the sauce with his free hand.
"Since the knife skills show the connotation of culture by understanding the ox, the sauce should also mainly use the condiments of China to reflect our own culture." Yuan Zhou thought inwardly.
His movements weren't slow. He directly took out some special condiments of China that he had prepared previously as a backup.
The chief chef had brought some uncooked condiments with him, which were permitted by the organizing committee. Not only did Yuan Zhou bring them, but every chef that attended the ceremony also brought some special condiments of their own country and region. They were all the trump cards of the chefs.
Actually, Yuan Zhou didn't bring too many ingredients. He mainly brought them here to prevent the food ingredients and seasonings prepared by the organizing committee from not having the taste of China. If they couldn't cook authentic Chinese food, the judges wouldn't be able to have a further understanding of Chinese food.
The final control of the competition was in the hands of Ogyust. Naturally, he had prepared some ingredients and spices from Huaxia. Not only that, he had also prepared ingredients from other chefs' hometowns. In this aspect, Ogyust had always done a good job.
There were a total of 12 spices. Yuan Zhou took them out one by one and began to choose. Soon, his eyes fell on a pile of golden fruits. They were olives.
Speaking of which, these golden olives were brought back to Chengdu by his two registered disciples, Huang Gang and Zhang Longquan from Guangdong Province, before he came to France.
Everyone knew that Yuan Zhou liked to collect all kinds of special and rare ingredients. Whether it was a disciple or a customer, as long as they went out and saw them, they would usually bring some back for Yuan Zhou. For example, Lei Ti and Zong Mo did the same.
"Three-edged olive. This is a specialty of Guangdong Province. It can be used as the main ingredient. Its unique sweetness and sourness should add a lot of color to the goose meat." Yuan Zhou pinched the well-preserved olive.
Although it was a little withered, it didn't hinder its value.
Three-edged olive, also known as Golden Jade Three-edged Olive, was a landmark protected product of Guangdong Province. It was very special and the output was quite low. Especially this time, the one Huang Gang brought was from a wild olive tree that they found in the wild. It was a wild three-edged olive, which made it even more precious.
Compared with the artificially cultivated three-edged olive, the meat was crisp and sweet. After chewing, it was full of fragrance and lingered for a long time. The wild one had more wildness and the unique sourness of wild fruits, which was the taste that Yuan Zhou needed.
After choosing the main ingredient of the sauce, the ingredients were simple. Yuan Zhou chose them in a few seconds and directly started to process them.
He removed the core of the olive and mashed it. Then, he added other spices and pounded it into a paste with a wooden mortar. After that, he started to make the sauce.
After a few minutes, the sauce was ready. He took the goose over and slowly poured it into its body. Then, he put it aside and continued to make the sauce that was needed outside.
After everything was done, the goose could be put into the oven. The oven prepared by the committee was not very big. It was probably the kind of oven that could roast two chickens at the same time. Of course, it was more than enough to roast one goose.
The second sauce that Yuan Zhou made for brushing the skin was almost translucent. Once it was brushed on the skin, apart from the sizzling oil, it didn't seem to help the color change of the skin.
Unlike roast beef, roast goose needed to be decorated with sauce. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as fresh and juicy as roast beef. The main difference was the taste of beef and goose.
At this point, everyone present could see that Yuan Zhou's cooking was nearing the end. He was just waiting for the roast goose to be cooked. It had only been 30 minutes since the start of the competition. It was like a dream 30 minutes.
Bordraco, who had won the second competition, thought that five people could be faster than one person. At this moment, he was carefully carving the main ingredient.
That's right, he had to do something to the fat foie gras. Not only did he have to keep the foie gras in perfect shape, but he also had to decorate it. Of course, for Podraco, who had the reputation of being the king of delicacy, this was his specialty.
At this moment, Bordraco was confidently making something on the goose liver with a small and delicate knife.
In fact, if one didn't see Yuan Zhou's dazzling knife skills at the beginning, Bordraco's actions would be very eye-catching. Unfortunately, Julian's unique skill of the moon was quite wonderful.
Julian's Moonman skills were even more spectacular. When he was mixing the sauce just now, the spoon, the pot, and the sauce were connected in a line. The speed was so fast that it looked like a silver thread flashing by. It indeed had the color and shape of the moon.
As for Steele, he also used his unique skill. He had his own unique understanding of fire control. Of course, the main dish hadn't been put into the pot yet, so he didn't have time to use it.
However, one of his assistants had been a little absent-minded since some time ago. Fortunately, it didn't affect the work at hand, or Steele would feel that his temper wasn't good at all.
Of course, Steele didn't know that many people in the audience knew that this assistant had just been reeducated by Yuan Zhou.
"Clatter"
The big goose chosen by Yuan Zhou was plump and juicy. After being roasted in the stove, it emitted a sound of "Pa Pa". The skin of the goose began to change from the original white color to a brownish color, indicating that it was going to be ready soon.
As the goose became more and more cooked, the aroma became more and more intense. Unlike the three dishes made in the first round, even the braised chicken still had a lingering aroma, which could be easily missed by those who were focused on the dish.
However, the whole roast goose was different. The fragrance was overbearing and strong, sweeping the stage before it was completely cooked.
"It smells so good. Who's done it?" Steele was busy with his hands and didn't have time to look, but it didn't hinder his nose from working.
"He's almost done? He's so fast." Julian happened to be cleaning the goose when he turned around and found that the fragrance came from Yuan Zhou's side.
"Clang"
At this moment, Yuan Zhou looked at the skin of the goose and felt that it was almost done. With a turn of his hand, the whole goose fell onto the specially prepared plate.
"Here comes the highlight!" Chu Xiao murmured.
