The reason why Yuan Zhou asked about this matter was that a successor of Wei Ziji had come to him previously. That was how he got this idea.
Zizi Chicken was a dish from Shancheng. However, now that Shancheng had been separated from Sichuan Province, the cuisines were not separated and still belonged to Sichuan Cuisine.
There were simply too many types of Sichuan cuisine. Even if you ate a few dishes a day, you wouldn't be able to eat the same dishes for an entire year, not to mention the dishes that were about to be lost in Shankaka in Shancheng.
No one had ever ordered this dish, so Yuan Zhou gradually forgot about it. It was not until Wang Yang came to him that he remembered there was such a dish.
In fact, the main points of Zizi Chicken were the zizi and the ingredients.
Whether a dish was delicious or not, the craftsmanship was the key. The cooking utensils and ingredients were also inestimable variables. There was a reason why Wang Yang came to Yuan Zhou.
Originally, Wang Yang was a partner with a master who made zizi. The master made the zizi and he made the Zizi Chicken. It was a good cooperation. However, the master passed away not long ago. What awaited Wang Yang was the loss of Zizi Chicken. Even if there was the last zizi made by the master, it would not last for long. Then, Wang Yang thought of Yuan Zhou.
He wasn't willing to let go of the lost legacy of Scorpion Chicken. As the well-deserved king of Sichuan Cuisine, the first person Wang Yang thought of was naturally Yuan Zhou. He had a feeling that no matter what happened, as long as it was in Yuan Zhou's hands, he would be able to solve it.
Even though Zhao Mei now had the reputation of being the king of Sichuan Cuisine, she was not as good as his master. Therefore, it was not strange that Wang Yang came to find him.
Yuan Zhou could use the tableware provided by the system to make Zizi Chicken. For Wang Yang, this problem was only a temporary solution. Therefore, he planned to learn to make it himself.
After a period of research, he always felt that the zizi looked simple, but it was very difficult to make. Not to mention other things, just the steam pipes alone were a big problem. It was not that Yuan Zhou could not make the pipes.
Yuan Zhou, who had been praised by several masters, was indeed very talented in ceramic art. However, the pipe production also had to be paid attention to. It had to be smooth and straight. If there were some knots inside or it was not straight, then it would affect the smoothness of the steam.
Yuan Zhou had once compared the one he made with the one provided by the system, and he always felt that there was a gap. That was why he wanted to find a Master Checker to discuss it. It was much better than building a car behind closed doors.
After Wang Yang got the answer that Yuan Zhou needed to study, he went back with a peace of mind. Yuan Zhou's trademark was to keep his word. Therefore, he was very relieved when he got Yuan Zhou's answer.
On the other hand, Yuan Zhou asked Master Ge, Master Ju, and Master Fei Zhi to spread the news in hopes of finding a master to discuss it with.
Originally, this dish belonged to a niche type. Almost no one knew how to cook it, let alone those who knew how to make this kind of utensils.
He did not expect that there would be news from Master Ge in just half a month. Even though Yuan Zhou was as calm as still water, he could not help but feel excited.
"What a coincidence. This master is in Chengdu. I came here to see you, but I did not expect to meet this master," Master Ge said casually.
In fact, ever since Master Ge met Yuan Zhou face to face, he not only admired Yuan Zhou's ceramic art very much, but also became very interested in his cooking. It should be noted that the desserts that Yuan Zhou had brought him for the first time tasted amazing.
If it were not for the fact that the matter abroad had been settled long ago, Master Ge would have wanted to go to Chengdu with Yuan Zhou to eat delicious food.
Food was the most important thing to the people. Of course, food was very important. However, Master Ge was also a man of principle. He must fulfill his promise to others. Therefore, he had been busy until now.
He left his old friend, Master Ju, who was still busy. Master Ge secretly came to Chengdu alone. He even left his assistants behind.
He did not know if Yuan Zhou was lucky or if Master Ge was lucky. He was able to meet Master Qin, whom he had met once before, in a car. This master was not only good at making pots, but he was also good at making ceramic utensils.
Now that he was old, everything was handed over to his disciples and grand-disciples. He just walked around casually. Of course, when Master Qin walked around casually, he was also inspecting the soil quality of various places to see if he could find suitable soil to make some new things. He wasn't just doing nothing.
Coincidentally, Master Qin had just arrived at Chengdu when he met Master Ge. Master Ge naturally did not cry when he saw Master Ge.
Hearing that Master Ge highly praised Yuan Zhou, Master Qin also became interested. He wanted to see how talented this chef with a talent in ceramics was.
People always said that a soldier who did not want to be a general was not a good soldier. Now, it became that a chef who did not want to be a top master was not a good chef.
It was rare for Master Qin to be interested. On the other side, Master Ge naturally called Yuan Zhou to finalize the matter.
When he heard Master Ge say that Master Ren was in Chengdu, Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief. He had no choice. He had just asked for leave. If he asked for leave again, his life would be in danger. Fortunately, that didn't happen.
"I will be free tomorrow afternoon. I can visit Master Qin then." Yuan Zhou thought for a moment and said.
There were four hours between lunchtime and dinner time. If Yuan Zhou made preparations in advance, he could reserve more than 10 minutes to prepare the ingredients for dinner. Three hours was enough for Yuan Zhou to go to many places, but he didn't know where exactly this Master Qin was in Chengdu.
"There's no need for us to come here directly. Master Yuan, you just need to prepare the clay. If we don't come to Chengdu to have a meal cooked by Master Yuan, it's no different from never coming to Chengdu." Master Ge revealed his true intention.
One was that Master Ge really wanted to eat Yuan Zhou's cooking. The other was that he vaguely knew that Yuan Zhou was very busy and had to open the restaurant every day. Since he wanted to eat and Yuan Zhou was busy, there was naturally no place more suitable than the small restaurant.
Master Ge directly ignored Master Qin's opinion and made the appointment to meet in the small restaurant. Master Qin did not care where they met because he had a lot of time.
Therefore, he just rolled his eyes at Master Ge and did not object.
"Now, there should be hope to solve Head Chef Wang's problem." Yuan Zhou murmured.
In the beginning, Yuan Zhou's idea was to teach Wang Yang how to make his own macaroni and then how to make macaroni chicken. Of course, if Wang Yang did not have the talent to make macaroni, he could also help to contact some sources of macaroni.
However, it needed to be practiced again for the two to work together. After all, every chef had their own unique cooking habits. To make suitable kitchenware, the chef and the craftsman naturally needed to practice together.
These were the two most suitable methods for Wang Yang at the moment.
Because of the phone call from Master Ge, Yuan Zhou was in a good mood for the following days. He bought quite a lot of local specialties, not only for his relatives and friends, but also for his mother-in-law. He directly selected some gifts and sent them to them.
