From this, it could be seen that when Yuan Zhou was cooking, he focused most of his attention on the ingredients. Otherwise, the famous Three Swordsmen of Hunan Cuisine, Meng Guangping, Ding Yang, and Du Yundong would definitely be able to recognize them.
The inheritor of Hunan Cuisine was Meng Guangping. Ding Yang was also known as the Famous Chef of Xiangjiang. Du Yundong's grandma's dish was known as the best dish in the country for a period of time.
It was said to be a home-cooked dish made with purslane, radish, leafy green vegetables, Xiangxi local vegetables, and minced meat. Du Yundong was able to make an anorexic person eat.
It was truly amazing. But compared to Yuan Zhou, it was still far behind.
The three of them had made great achievements in Hunan Cuisine. But Yuan Zhou had never expected that Meng Guangping and the others would come all the way to Chengdu to eat on the first day that Hunan Cuisine was released. Their perseverance was truly unparalleled.
"He's still young. I wonder how Head Chef Yuan's hands grow. How can they be so fast?" Meng Guangping looked at Yuan Zhou's hands carefully.
They were whiter, longer, and more distinct. Apart from that, there was no other difference. How could he use such perfect knife skills? He couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
What Meng Guangping was talking about was the video of Leon's previous competition. He had also studied it carefully. As the No. 1 in the knife craftsmanship of Hunan Kitchen, his knife craftsmanship was fairly good. But compared with Yuan Zhou, he was merely good.
"Head Chef Yuan is not only young and promising, but also a young grandmaster. He is simply far superior to other chefs of his generation," Ding Yang said.
"Isn't it known that Head Chef Yuan is excellent? Let's think about what to order later," Du Yundong was a little impatient.
In his opinion, Yuan Zhou's excellence was obvious to all. Besides, he was still excellent. Eating was the key.
"Haven't you already thought about it?" Meng Guangping asked back.
That's right. As a master of Hunan Cuisine, he definitely knew what to order. He didn't even need to look at the menu.
"Indeed," Ding Yang also knew what to do.
While they were whispering, Su Ruoyan walked up to them. She was a few minutes late because Wuhai had too many things to write. It would take a lot of time to finish writing.
"What would you like to order?" Su Ruoyan saw the four people enter the door, so she asked the four of them.
The weak and pitiful Little Yu, who was trying his best to reduce his sense of existence, felt that Su Ruoyan was a little fairy. Finally, someone noticed him. It was not easy.
Previously, when the three masters were whispering, Little Yu couldn't get a word in. He was as superfluous as Wang Duoyu.
"I want a Goldfish Playing with Lotus, a Yongzhou Blood Duck, and a serving of rice." Meng Guangping was very conservative in his ordering. After all, he was old and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish the dishes.
What he was more afraid of was definitely being blacklisted. Not only were the customers familiar with some of the rules of the restaurant, even some chefs knew Qingqing Chu very well.
Meng Guangping was a knife master, so the dishes he ordered were naturally dishes that could only be made with excellent knife skills.
"I want a Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers, a Dongting Mandarin Fish with Barbecued Oil, and a serving of rice." Du Yundong was the second to order.
He liked eating fish, so all the dishes he ordered were related to fish.
Ding Yang was even more extreme. He said straightforwardly, "A Sister Dumpling, a Xianglian with Rock Sugar, and a Yuanyang Pastry Box." All the dishes he ordered were famous dim sum.
Indeed, Ding Yang was the best in Hunan dim sum, so it was normal for him to order that.
Meanwhile, Little Yu had long been eager to get into action. Although Chairman Meng had said that he would treat him to dinner tonight, as a subordinate, he naturally couldn't ask for a foot after being given an inch.
Little Yu thought for a while and said, "I want a Grandma's Dish, a Shiitake Mushroom with Yolk-Less Egg, and a serving of rice."
They were all simple but also representative dishes. It could be seen that they had put in a lot of thought. No wonder they were sent to Chengdu to wait for their prey. They were very clever.
Meng Guangping's group of four all ordered Hunan dishes, which were not outstanding at all, because most of the diners who came to eat also ordered Hunan dishes. It was the first day the new dishes were served, so everyone's enthusiasm was still very high.
"Okay, please wait a moment." Su Ruoyan's pen was like the wind, and she quickly finished writing the menu.
Because the seats were close, she directly handed the menu to Yuan Zhou and then went to order for other diners. At this time, Yuan Zhou was already busy in the kitchen. After all, Wu Hai's group really ordered a lot of dishes.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the Black Beast's eating speed that was comparable to Taotie's, the dishes they ordered could only be finished from the opening hours to the end of the opening hours. If one person ordered ten to twenty dishes, two people would add up to a lot.
They didn't know whether they should be glad that the Black Beast ate fast or should they lament that it ate too much.
"Tut, tut, tut"
The chopping board made a hurried sound, and the kitchen knife in Yuan Zhou's hand almost left afterimages. His every move was not clear, but it was very impressive.
"It's everyone!" The hearts of Meng Guangping and the others were burning, and their eyes were staring straight at Yuan Zhou.
They didn't even move their eyes and just stared at his movements. As for what dish he was cooking, they didn't pay attention at all. Just the knife skills and the dazzling flame technique were enough to see. As for the dishes, their brains were temporarily not enough to understand it.
Meng Guangping felt that they were attracted by a fragrance after watching for a while, especially Du Yundong. When he sniffed, a fresh and spicy smell kept drilling into his nostrils.
"The Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers is done?" Although Du Yundong smelled the fragrance, he was still a little confused. How could it be so fast?
He felt that the dishes were done just after he ordered. Even if it was magic, it should be this fast.
Just now, Yuan Zhou was cooking at least five dishes at the same time, so he was dazzled and didn't notice when his dishes were done.
Clang!
When the plate was placed in front of him, Du Yundong finally realized that the dishes were indeed done.
The Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers was a basic dish of Hunan Cuisine. Basically, every chef of Hunan Cuisine could cook it. Not to mention that Meng Guangping and the other two were familiar with it, even Little Yu was very familiar with it, although he was a civil servant.
As the representative steamed dish of Hunan Cuisine, the Steamed Fish Head with Diced Hot Red Peppers was naturally steamed. Therefore, it was cooked very quickly. Besides, the most authentic steamed dish was definitely the fish head of the bighead carp. With a big fish head and bright red chili, the appearance was absolutely outstanding.
However, if it was the ordinary Steamed Fish Head, there would definitely be water stains inside after it was carried out. This was the reason why the steam of the steamed dish would flow back after it cooled down. Besides, the sauce would also have gravy after it was marinated. These were all common sense.
However, the fish head placed in front of Du Yundong didn't have such concerns. Apart from the black and white fish heads and the red chili, there was nothing else. It was so clean that if it wasn't for the fact that it was still burning with passion, one would think that it hadn't been steamed yet.
"I can't compare with this skill." Du Yundong sighed with emotion.
He liked eating fish and naturally liked to cook it. However, Du Yundong couldn't cook the steamed fish like that without a drop of gravy. At most, there would only be a little bit left.
"Indeed."
Meng Guangping and Ding Yang were also very amazed. Even the ordinary home-cooked dishes were of such a standard, not to mention the other main dishes.
