The crispness and the fragrance, the tenderness and the richness of the meat blended together in the mouth. It was as if they were dancing on the tip of the tongue. The taste was wonderful.
"The beef is extremely tender. It's just right for the pastry. It won't be too tender, but it won't be too old either. The red wine in the sauce is really appropriate. This is what a steak should be." Alexandra felt that no amount of words could be used to praise the steak.
"Yes, we must let Doma and Mariselo have a look."
When it came to the steak, Alexandra immediately thought of the two authorities in the steak industry. Clearly, after the competition ended, Doma and Mariselo had come to congratulate Yuan Zhou. They didn't have much interaction with the others.
"I'm more surprised by the side dishes. Even the side dishes are just right. It won't affect the taste of the other ingredients and perfectly complements them. It's indeed a rare delicacy." Gauss ate half a fried egg in one bite.
"I wonder if Tuo Luoma and the others have eaten this type of steak before. It tastes even better than the steak that I ate two years ago." Ju Man Lee ate the steak slowly and leisurely.
Gauss added, "I think Mr. Doma and Mr. Mariselo can do it."
If the steak duo heard this, they would definitely thank Gauss for thinking so highly of them. But they really couldn't do that!
No matter how slowly Ju Man Lee tasted the steak, it was only so big. Soon, it was all in everyone's stomachs. Then, everyone touched their stomachs in unison. None of them felt full.
"I think we can order more." Gauss was the first to speak.
"That's a good idea. The meat you ordered just now tastes good." Anthony was the first to respond.
He liked the lute meat that Gauss had served earlier. It was a taste he had never tasted before.
"I think Chef Ju Man Lee's dishes are very good. They are very rich," Alexandra said.
She liked the Jade Qilin Pork Loin that Ju Man Lee had ordered. Although it had a beautiful name, it was actually a steamed dish with a variety of dishes.
Everyone didn't choose anything new. Instead, they wanted to eat the dishes they had just eaten. Therefore, everyone added a dish and planned to eat it before looking at it.
As for Zhong Lili and Lil Wu, they could only try their best to shrink their figures and pretend that they did not exist. After all, the president's dishes had been snatched away, so they had better pray for themselves.
Dinner time was only so long, and soon, half of it had passed. Because Ju Man Lee and the others ate slowly, everyone quickly stood up and walked out of the restaurant to make room for others.
Yuan Zhou was busy and didn't have time, so they didn't say goodbye to Yuan Zhou. Anyway, they would see him tomorrow, so they didn't have to worry about not seeing him again.
Yes, they had just eaten dinner and were already thinking about when they would come for dinner tomorrow. Ju Man Li and the others had never been so eager to eat.
"I will send you to the hotel. When will you come to the Chef's Association to finalize the final deal?" Zhou Shijie said.
Ju Man Lee and the others came under the banner of implementing some matters for next year's China-France Exchange Conference. There was no problem for Vice President Ju Man Lee to take the lead.
"We can take our time and stay here for a few more days. You can have a good rest and then we will talk about it," Ju Man Lee said primly.
Those who didn't know him might think that he had a good relationship with Zhou Shijie, but in fact, they had only known each other for a few days.
The group of people discussed things while walking, so they didn't delay at all.
On the other side, the dinner time of The Kitchen God was still going on, but it came to an end soon. After sending the customers and Su Ruoyan away, Yuan Zhou was finally free.
"Speaking of which, Head Chef Ju Man Lee and the others came too early. Did something happen?" It was rare for Yuan Zhou to care about something and he specially called Zhou Shijie.
After knowing that they came to deal with the follow-up matters, Yuan Zhou was relieved. It was good that nothing happened.
"The cured meat should be ready," Yuan Zhou said.
Then, he directly went to the corner to check the second smoked cured meat without having time to wash his face and rinse his mouth. It was indeed ready and had cooled down, ready for the final smoking.
After the cured meat was processed, Yuan Zhou checked again and found there wasn't much white chili left. It was probably because there were a lot of people ordering Hunan Cuisine these days and it was used up quickly.
"Let's make some white chili first." Yuan Zhou looked at the time and found he could squeeze out some time to make chili.
As one of the important ingredients of Hunan Cuisine, white chili naturally needed to be stored. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if he didn't have enough when he needed it.
When Mao Ye arrived and the pub time started, Yuan Zhou was still busy in the kitchen.
"Dadada, Dadada."
A series of footsteps came from outside the door. Soon, Zong Mo's figure appeared at the door. Moreover, he was panting and seemed to be in a hurry.
"Is Romeo missing?" Yuan Zhou saw Zong Mo's forehead was full of sweat and he was obviously very anxious. His first thought was that the husky was missing.
It wasn't easy to say that a husky was gone.
"Boss Yuan, good evening." Zong Mo said immediately after he caught his breath.
"Good evening, Boss Zong. Romeo didn't come tonight." Yuan Zhou said.
"It's okay. Romeo secretly ate more than half of an iced watermelon during the day and had a bit of diarrhea. I sent him to the hospital." Zong Mo waved his hand and said.
When Yuan Zhou heard that, his first thought was that Romeo opened the fridge to eat watermelon and then locked himself in to freeze.
Shaking off the image in his mind, Yuan Zhou said directly, "Boss Zong, why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's like this. Some time ago, an ancient tomb from the Ming Dynasty appeared in Meizhou. According to research, it seems to be the tomb of an imperial chef. The higher-ups intend to release some information. I contacted some people and planned to go there as soon as possible. Time is tight and we have to leave in a while. But Romeo is still in the hospital."
Zong Mo was embarrassed when he said that. Yuan Zhou understood that he was here to entrust his orphan. But the tomb of an imperial chef? What was that? In ancient times, imperial chefs were not high-ranking officials. Just take the Qing Dynasty as an example. There were no ranks in the imperial kitchen. The only officials with ranks were the eunuchs.
Therefore, it was impossible for the imperial cooks to build a huge tomb. Even for Zhang Dongguan, who was well known in history, the greatest reward he received was that Qianlong rewarded him with the privilege of 'riding a horse to accompany him', and this reward was because Zhang Dongguan was already old at that time.
Zong Mo seemed to have seen through Yuan Zhou's doubts and explained that the owner of the ancient tomb was a famous commercial chef. Not only did he know how to cook, he also knew how to earn money.
Oh, that's fine. In the Ming Dynasty, the only chef who had served as an imperial chef and knew how to earn money was Sun Han.
Yuan Zhou said, "Then I will go and fetch Romeo. It just so happens that Mi Tang and the others miss Romeo very much."
"Thank you so much, Boss Yuan. I have troubled Boss Yuan. It's mainly because this matter is very sudden and urgent. But if there are any recipes or whatnot, I will bring some information back for Boss Yuan to study." Zong Mo was very grateful.
"If it's possible, bring some. If it's not convenient, don't force yourself." Yuan Zhou. People in the chefs' circle said that the imperial chef of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Han, might be a time traveler because he created the franchise method.
This wasn't the first time that Zong Mo said that he would bring recipes for Yuan Zhou. Basically, when Zong Mo went out to collect antiques, he would consciously look for ancient recipes and bring them to Yuan Zhou to study.
Zong Mo felt that these things would only play a greater role in the hands of Yuan Zhou.
