The Taoxi Road Street Office was quite anxious all the time. They knew that Japan was trying to keep Akira Toriyama alive so that they could repair the road. In terms of influence, as a chef, Yuan Zhou wasn't inferior to Akira Toriyama.
Therefore, the Street Administrative Office tried to give Yuan Zhou some benefits. Putting everything else aside, if the Master Chef Restaurant really moved away, it would be an unbearable burden on his life.
This time, Yuan Zhou's fame in Europe had spread to the Street Office, so they prepared a gift for Yuan Zhou.
On the other side, the exchange meeting was in progress.
"Yuan, it's nice to see you again. It's been a long time since we parted ways in China. Recently, I have my own opinion on the Philip Bull's Eye." Tuo Luoma was a straightforward old man. He came up to greet them and immediately changed the topic.
"Don't you know first come first serve at your age? I came first, so I'll speak first. "Ju Man Li's mouth was very vicious. He didn't get beaten to death because he learned boxing when he was young.
Originally, Mariselo was prepared to argue with the stupid marmot, but he felt uncomfortable when someone else spoke first.
"Vice-President Ju Man Li is not young anymore, but his mouth is still unforgiving." Mariselo spoke. After all, if the stupid marmot argued with him, it was his. If others argued with him, it meant that they were his friends.
"This group of people is really a joke." Anthony shook his head. He was speechless about this group of people. The reason why they were arguing was because they were obviously greedy for Yuan Zhou's body … No, they were greedy for Yuan Zhou's culinary skills. At their level of culinary skills, it was really difficult to improve even a little bit. It was already good enough to learn from peers.
The appearance of Yuan Zhou was equivalent to raising the ceiling of their culinary skills.
In order not to be a joke, Anthony walked to the front of Yuan Zhou and said, "Yuan, I'm Anthony. I've always heard about you from Ogyust. Today is the first time we meet, please give me some advice." Anthony said as he led Yuan Zhou to the side.
The representative of the Sino-France Exchange Meet was led by Yuan Zhou, with Zhou Shijie as his assistant. In terms of reputation in Europe, even before participating in the competition, Yuan Zhou was also well-known in the top circle, so there was no problem with Yuan Zhou leading.
However, this time, Yuan Zhou did not participate in the actual exchange. The actual exchange was led by Cheng Zhao Mei. There were a total of ten people, all of whom were elites from various cuisines. Originally, they wanted to have one chef from each of the eight major cuisines, but then they thought that there were countless cuisines in China and there were more than eight major cuisines. In order to not disappoint the other contestants, they directly combined the candidates from the previous Ten Beauties Competition and only took the champion, which made the others speechless.
The leader of the French side was Podraco. Steele and the others had also made up the numbers.
There were also ten chefs from different regions of France, and they were all carefully selected by Auguste.
The facilitators were Auguste and Manfred, who had a high standard. Also, there was Yuan Zhou, who was the most famous chef at the moment.
They all attached great importance to this event and hoped to show the delicacies of their countries. Yuan Zhou did not participate, because if he did, he would be the only one performing.
"He participated in the competition with us yesterday, but today he is already a professor," Julian said.
Steele added, "Yuan came to the competition to win a prize. He's not on the same level as us."
Hearing this, Podraco's momentum weakened, but he could not refute it.
With Cheng Zhao Mei leading the team, Yuan Zhou was very reassured. In addition, five of the ten chefs were registered disciples of Yuan Zhou.
Not to mention Yuan Zhou, even Zhou Shijie was very reassured.
Although Cheng Zhaomei was very low-key in the previous competition, he was just a mascot. There were still many chefs and media who noticed him. Therefore, at the beginning of the exchange, Cheng Zhaomei was the first to be called.
Auguste and the others who were more familiar with Yuan Zhou knew that Cheng Zhao Mei was Yuan Zhou's disciple, so they were quite curious about him.
"I wonder what Head Chef Cheng has prepared for us today?" Lester, a famous French food critic, looked at Cheng Zhao Mei with great interest.
Dressed in a snow-white chef's uniform, there wasn't a single wrinkle on it from head to toe. He stood there perfectly straight with no change of expression on his face. At first glance, he still looked a little old. No wonder he was a direct disciple.
"Today, I will show you a snack of Sichuan Cuisine, steamed beef with rice flour. I hope you will like it." Cheng Zhao Mei's English was not bad, at least he could express himself clearly.
"Steamed.beef. with. Vermicelli" was the English translation of steamed beef with rice flour. Although it was not very appropriate, it was more vivid than the translation that Yuan Zhou had given him. At least they could understand the meaning of steamed beef.
"Steamed beef? I wonder how it tastes. "Lester had never eaten steamed beef before.
In Western cuisine, beef was either roasted or made into beef soup. Steamed beef was less common, but Italy and Hungary had it.
Auguste and the others were a little familiar with it. It was probably steamed in a steamer because they had eaten the crab roe soup dumplings in the steamer once.
"Please have a taste when it's ready," Cheng Zhao Mei said politely and started to work.
The steamer he prepared was a new one made of bamboo. He threw the steamer into the water and boiled it. Cheng Zhao Mei then started to prepare the other ingredients.
After learning from Yuan Zhou, he developed a bad habit, that was, he liked to use all the freshly prepared seasonings to preserve the texture.
Cheng Zhao Mei planned to make the rice noodles on the spot.
She would first stir-fry the rice, then add the other ingredients. Finally, she would use a mortar to grind the rice noodles into powder. Everything was done in an orderly and calm manner. It looked good.
Baldraco and the others were also relieved. At the very least, not every Chinese could cast a Forbidden Spell.
Of course, Zhao Mei's knife skills were pretty good. At least they could see it and not be as baffled as Yuan Zhou's.
Their difference in knife-work had become one of seeing and one of not seeing.
In fact, steamed beef with rice flour was just a side dish. It was not difficult to prepare. Plus, the 40 minutes of steaming time was more than enough.
Soon, an aroma wafted in the air. It was spicy and refreshing, making everyone feel refreshed.
During the competition, Yuan Zhou had not prepared the spicy cooking method of Sichuan Cuisine. Instead, he had prepared a combination of Cantonese, Jiangsu, Spanish, and Singaporean cuisines. Therefore, it was more refreshing and natural. Even the dipping sauce of the chicken and tofu pudding was sour and spicy, which brought out the mellowness of the chicken and tofu pudding.
Once the spicy taste of the steamed beef with rice flour cooked by Zhao Mei came out, everyone on the spot could not help but want to have a taste. It was too stimulating.
The bamboo steamer slowly emitted white steam. The smoke lingered in the air, making the place look like a fairyland.
"Zhao Mei's dish seems to have improved again." Yuan Zhou had a rough idea of Cheng Zhao Mei's current level after taking a sniff.
"Yuan, isn't Chairman Cheng improving fast?" Zhou Shijie also felt that Zhao Mei was much better than before.
"You are indeed making rapid progress. You are also working hard to attract girls," Yuan Zhou said truthfully.
"Can the apprentice not work harder after following such a hardworking teacher?" Zhou Shijie teased Yuan Zhou, which was a rare occasion.
"You should work hard every day to learn culinary skills. Only in this way can you make progress every day," Yuan Zhou said.
"Progress every day?" Zhou Shijie was almost choked by his saliva.
While Zhou Shijie was sighing inwardly, the steamed beef with rice flour was ready.
When the heat was ready, the fragrance became more and more intense. Cheng Zhao Mei smelled the fragrance to identify the degree of heat control.
"Clang"
She straightforwardly used the long bamboo chopsticks to move the small and exquisite steamer baskets to the prepared plates at the side.
She made a total of five small steamers. Therefore, without waiting for the order, a group of people swarmed over. The spicy taste buds were stimulated and nobody could resist it.
