It was true that Liu Xi and Liu Jian were unlucky. It was a great pity for them to miss the election of Yuan Zhou's nominal disciple.
From another point of view, they were quite lucky. Not only did they happen to come when Yuan Zhou was free to exchange cooking skills, but they also came back at the right time. They lined up in the third echelon, neither too far nor too near. Thus, they could eat here. They were much luckier than those who came late and didn't get to eat here.
As Su Ruoyan spoke, lunchtime officially began.
The people in the first echelon filed in, and the people in the second echelon were ready to go. As for those in the other echelons, they could only raise their heads and wait.
Although it was a scorching hot day, drinking the Sour Plum Soup was quite pleasant. Naturally, the Sour Plum Soup produced by Yuan Zhou was very amazing, especially for those who tasted it for the first time.
At least, Liu Xi and Liu Jian found the Sour Plum Soup very tasty. Anyway, they couldn't cook it.
One was a Yunnan Cuisine Master, while the other was a Guizhou Cuisine Master. Needless to say, their culinary skills were excellent. Even the sensitivity of their tongues was incomparable to ordinary people. Although they didn't know who made the Sour Plum Soup, they had some guesses. There was no chef better than Yuan Zhou within a radius of dozens of miles. Even if he didn't make it himself, he must have taught it.
Time passed like flowing water. Soon, the people in the second echelon went in one after another and then came out. Soon, the people in the third echelon also went in.
Liu Xi and Liu Jian were in the front of the third echelon. After three people went in, it was finally their turn.
They walked slowly under the sun toward the entrance of the restaurant. With every step they took, they could feel the slight change in temperature. After they entered the restaurant, they felt very comfortable. It was not the kind of feeling that suddenly became cold. Instead, they unconsciously felt that the temperature was very comfortable. Don't ask why, it was because of the black technology of the system.
"It seems that there are more seats," Liu Jian muttered.
Then, he went to an empty table for two with his brother and sat down.
"It's the two Masters Liu. It's been a long time." Yuan Zhou happened to raise his head and saw Liu Xi and Liu Jian.
His memory was very good, and the two of them had basically not changed. Therefore, even though they had not seen each other for a few years, he could still recognize the two of them at a glance.
However, it was business hours now, so Yuan Zhou just sighed and turned his attention to the steak in front of him. This was the filet mignon that someone had ordered.
"Hua la, hua la!"
The oil had just come out, and as the heat increased, the meat began to change. The aroma of beef began to waft out. Yuan Zhou took the opportunity to turn the meat over. He quickly sprinkled some seasonings on it with his right hand and continued to roast it. The whole process was as smooth as flowing water, smooth and natural.
The moment Liu Xi sat down and raised his head, he happened to catch a glimpse of Yuan Zhou's natural and rhythmic movements. He could not help but widen his eyes to take a closer look. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhou was not cooking in one place. Instead, he was cooking with several pots at the same time. As a result, Yuan Zhou's figure soon disappeared in front of him.
He couldn't help but stretch his neck, but he couldn't see anything. He could only give up.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Liu Jian was sitting across from him. He was facing Sakurai Shrimp Wall, so he couldn't see Yuan Zhou's movements.
"I just saw Head Chef Yuan. He seems to have improved a lot. He is completely different from how he was a few years ago," Liu Xi exclaimed.
He knew that Yuan Zhou must have improved a lot. But no matter how he imagined it, it was still better to see it with his own eyes. Liu Xi's cooking skills had improved slowly, but that didn't mean that Liu Xi's eyesight was bad. He was able to get a glimpse of Yuan Zhou's strength just by looking at some of Yuan Zhou's movements.
"Isn't that normal?" Although he said that, Liu Jian still turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen. Unfortunately, he couldn't see Yuan Zhou's figure through the gap in the kitchen. He was reluctant to turn his head.
"What would you like to order?" Su Ruoyan came over to order for the two brothers.
Only then did the two brothers realize that they were here to eat, not to watch Yuan Zhou cook. They looked at the heavy menu on the table and felt a little embarrassed.
"I want a Big Thin Slice, a Big Rescue, a Sour Bamboo Shoot Boiled Chicken, and a serving of plain rice," Liu Jian thought for a while and ordered a few dishes that he was good at.
It wasn't a test. He just wanted to compare the difference between him and Yuan Zhou after several years of seclusion.
When Liu Xi heard Liu Jian's order, he instantly understood his intention. Without waiting for Su Ruoyan to ask, he directly ordered, "A Divine Fresh Wood Ginger Chicken, a Pickled Spicy Crispy Fish, a Kung Pao Magical Taro Tofu, and a bowl of plain rice will do."
Liu Xi loved spicy food and especially liked eating chili. He had the spirit of Guizhou people who weren't afraid of spicy food. Although he wasn't young anymore, he still had a strong taste.
Previously, Colin from Guizhou had once sent his pickled chili to Yuan Zhou for a taste. In return, Yuan Zhou had sent his pickled chili to him. The pickled chili was the main ingredient of the Pickled Spicy Crispy Fish, and the best chef in Guizhou wasn't Colin, but Liu Xi.
Thus, Colin's Pickled Spicy Crispy Fish wasn't as good as Liu Xi's because of the pickled chili.
"Okay. Please wait for a moment." After Su Ruoyan remembered it, she said that and then left politely.
"How far do you think we are from Head Chef Yuan? I felt like I couldn't keep up with him since a few years ago. Now that I have improved, it should be better," Liu Jian said uncertainly.
"Huh? Better? Are you telling me Head Chef Yuan is waiting for you? You better see if you can maintain the original gap. After all, Head Chef Yuan is still young, "Liu Xi was very self-aware.
Furthermore, he had seen that Yuan Zhou's actions were definitely not a sign of improvement. Thus, he was very confident.
Liu Jian didn't get angry when he heard that. He felt that his brother was right. Even for an abnormal genius like Head Chef Yuan, it would be a disgrace to his reputation as a genius if he improved slowly. A hardworking ordinary person like him would be overestimating himself if he thought he could compete with a genius like Head Chef Yuan.
After Liu Xi rebuked his younger brother, he began to look at the kitchen. He was waiting for Yuan Zhou to turn to the stove so that he could watch his movements.
Although he couldn't see everything clearly due to the fast speed, it didn't stop him from watching attentively.
As for Liu Jian, he stretched his neck and turned around, wanting to see what was going on. In a few minutes, his first dish was served. It was a very simple 'Great Rescue King'.
Actually, the 'Great Rescue King' had another name, Tengchong Stir-Fried Bait Slices. This was a dish related to Emperor Yongli of Nan Ming. It could be considered as a historical dish given by the emperor.
The 'Great Rescue King' that Yuan Zhou made was in the shape of slices. Therefore, when it was served, apart from the green and red chilies, the most obvious thing was that the slices were of the same thickness and size and had a glossy and glossy color.
In addition to the other side dishes, such as golden eggs, black shiitake mushrooms, red ham, and so on, the colors were colorful and looked very beautiful. Not to mention, there was also a spicy and glutinous aroma that rushed straight to the tip of the nose. No one could control themselves.
"It smells so good. I feel that the rice fragrance of the slices is especially strong and sweet. Even with so many side dishes, it is still very distinct," Liu Jian carefully smelled the fragrance.
