"I'm Yuan's closest student. Let me try it first. Chinese cuisine is a little particular when it comes to eating. Let me demonstrate." It sounded good, but when it came out of Lester's mouth, it sounded like he was showing off.
"We'll try it ourselves. What can you taste with that tongue of yours? With that red nose of yours that can't tell the difference between basil and cloves?" Ju Manlee said with a serious face.
Lester had a rosacea, but he did not drink alcohol. It was a skin disease, and he hated it the most when people talked about it.
"I …" Lester clenched his fists and wanted to fight back. But when he saw that it was Ju Manlee who spoke, and recalled his previous experience of being killed when he turned against him, he took a deep breath and decided not to fight with a retard.
"Why can your tongue stimulate secondary puberty?" Lester said. "You …"
Ju Manlee's fists stiffened, and Lester swallowed the rest of his words.
"Stupid groundhog, you actually didn't say anything." Marisello looked at Doloma.
Doloma was already preparing to eat, and Marisello walked over.
"It's hot!" Marisello opened the lid of the steamer with his bare hands.
But he had never opened a lid like this before, and it was good enough that he knew how to open the lid. He did not know that he had to open it sideways, so that the sudden heat from the inside would not rush to his hands, and it would not be hot.
Don't think that famous chefs knew everything in the culinary circle. Humans were too particular about food, and it was too difficult to know everything.
Doloma mocked Marisello in his heart, but he did not say it out loud.
As soon as the lid was opened, the white steam dissipated, and the spicy and fragrant taste became more intense. Although it was not as fragrant as the delicacies made by Yuan Zhou, it was still enough to arouse people's appetites.
"Let's split it like this, two people to a steamer. It's faster," Lester said.
Ju Manlee did not speak again, and it was obvious that he agreed. The remaining four steamers were split amicably.
Actually, Marisello and the rest could not be blamed for being quick. It was mainly because they had been dealing with steaks for their entire lives, and they had not come across steamed beef much.
When he went to China previously, he didn't get to eat this dish, so he reached an agreement faster than the others.
After the white gas dissipated, the contents inside were revealed. Pieces of beef were arranged in the shape of a flower. There were three layers of petals. Even though it was covered by a thick layer of burnt yellow powder, it was still about the same size. It could be seen that Engineer Cheng's knife skills had improved.
"Is this steamed beef?" Tuoloma stared at the beef in the steamer again and again, but he didn't find anything different.
It looked like a very authentic Chinese cuisine. Without waiting for Marisello, he picked up his chopsticks and skillfully picked up a piece, intending to put it in his mouth.
As a matter of fact, as long as it was a master who had communicated with Yuan Zhou, the first thing they would do after going back was to learn how to use chopsticks. They planned to eat faster the next time they went there and eat more delicious food.
Other than the newbie Lester, the others were Ju Man, Lee, Alexandra, and the rest. It was considered normal for them to use chopsticks. At least they didn't know how to use both hands.
When the steamed beef with rice powder was put into his mouth, the first thing Tuoloma felt was the spicy rice flour mixed with the taste of beef. It was glutinous, and he had never tasted this kind of texture before. It felt weird, but it wasn't bad.
When he bit into it, the rich juice immediately flowed out and combined with the soft rice flour. The originally tender beef was stained with a spicy taste, adding color to the original flavor of the beef. It was a very fresh texture.
If it was tender, the steamed beef with rice powder would definitely not be as tender as the medium rare or medium rare steak. The two were fundamentally different, and it was a whole new texture.
After swallowing it, the spiciness left on the tip of his tongue urged him to eat the second piece. Therefore, Tuoloma picked up the second piece with his chopsticks without hesitation.
Of course, the fastest one was definitely Marisello. This guy had already started eating the third piece. Perhaps being short also had its advantages?
The others who were given a steamer also started eating. Their movements were bold. Although they weren't as smooth as the Chinese, they were much better than most foreigners.
"The texture is a little rough? But is it intentional? It's spicy, soft, and tender, and the layer of glutinous on the outside. It's a good combination, "Lester commented as he ate.
He was satisfied with the taste, so his movements were a lot faster. His partner, Ju Man Lee, was only able to maintain the same speed by using his chopsticks.
"Using steaming to keep the tenderness of the beef in place is also an advantage. Although I might still prefer steak, I can't deny that this is a good dish," Marisello commented as he ate.
"I thought that Chinese cuisine was just an example of Yuan Zhou, but this dish has broken that possibility. Although it's not as good as Yuan Zhou, I can't deny that it's a good dish," Ju Man Lee commented.
As a matter of fact, this was also what most people were thinking. A chef who had reached the peak of perfection probably didn't even know how well he could cook a cuisine. Just like how Yuan Zhou didn't know, there were many people who wanted to become his disciple and learn magic.
The group of big shots started tasting from Cheng Zhao Mei's place. The only one who was relatively free was probably Yuan Zhou. He was too embarrassed to fight with the foreigners, so he decided to watch the French cuisine showcase.
The first person that Yuan Zhou locked was Bordraco. Obviously, Yuan Zhou had heard of Bordraco's name during the past few days. Bordraco was said to be on par with Chu Xiao. One was classic, while the other was creative. Both were genius French chefs.
Yuan Zhou walked at a leisurely pace. He looked like he was taking a leisurely stroll, but when he saw Bordraco walking toward him, he felt extremely nervous.
When he was competing with Yuan Zhou on the same stage, Bordraco wasn't nervous at all. He was fearless because he didn't know what was good for him. However, when the result was announced and he finished watching the recording …
Bordraco didn't have the same fighting spirit as Chu Xiao. He directly gave up.
"Chef Bordraco, what's the dish that you prepared for us today?" Yuan Zhou asked.
Bordraco took a deep breath and said respectfully, "It's Provence fish soup."
As the representative of classics, the dish he prepared was naturally a classic French dish. As the hometown of lavender, Provence's fish soup was as famous as its stew. It was filled with a strong rural flavor and regional flavor.
It could be considered a representative dish of home cooking. Of course, Bordraco's fish soup was naturally modified according to his personal preferences. On the premise of retaining the traditional flavor, he pursued the perfect shape, exquisite plate presentation, and the essence of French cuisine. This was his current research topic.
"I'm looking forward to it," Yuan Zhou said.
"I'll do my best," Bordraco replied with a nod.
Then, he took out the prepared fish and started cooking. The fish prepared for the fish soup was naturally different. This time, Bordraco prepared a sea bass.
