Chu Xiao didn't like to explain this kind of work. However, judging from the current situation, he had to do it himself.
"Do you know human breath?" Looking at Yuan Zhou quickly and accurately cutting, Chu Xiao said quite solemnly.
The word "human breath" represented too many meanings, so all the chefs on site were lost in thought.
"Is it the smell of body?" A chef asked tentatively.
"No." Chu Xiao knitted his brows again and then said, "Everyone has a smell and delicate food is the easiest to be contaminated."
"I see. No wonder Master Chu has that rule." Engineer Cheng was suddenly enlightened and said.
"What rule?" Some chefs didn't quite understand and thus asked curiously.
"The ingredients sent to me must not have their own smell." Chu Xiao crossed his arms in front of his chest and said naturally.
His words made all the chefs on site choke.
Apart from the chairman, Xing Min and Lee Yanyi, all the chefs on site basically couldn't smell human breath. Therefore, the words of Chu Xiao instantly made them speechless.
"Master Chu, you have a sharp nose." A chef couldn't help saying that.
"Just like you guys. You touch it and I touch it. Then, the dish can't be used." Chu Xiao said with a tone of disgust.
"So Master Yuan doesn't want us to touch it?" The remaining chefs now knew the reason why they weren't hired.
As for the unpleasant words that Chu Xiao said, they basically said they didn't hear it because the wind was too strong.
"A group of chefs are like opera singers in a teahouse, chattering incessantly." Lee Yanyi couldn't help saying sarcastically when he found Yuan Zhou hadn't started to cook. "Come on.
Which of these chefs isn't proud? That young man doesn't even let others drink the soup. Of course, we have to make things difficult for him. "Xing Min understood the thoughts of these chefs better and thus said straightforwardly.
"Humph. Troublesome." It was unknown who Lee Yanyi was referring to. After that, he just sat on the chair and didn't say anything.
"Okay. Everybody, please look." Yuan Zhou picked up the beef with one hand and turned over the plate with the other.
After a sound of "Peng", he put it on the azure stone countertop lightly.
"Why does it look like it hasn't been cut?" A chef said in a dialect in surprise.
"It does look like it, but I don't know how thick it is." Chu Xiao frowned. His eyesight was not as good as his sense of smell.
Yuan Zhou took the knife and gently wiped it on the square beef. In an instant, the whole piece of beef became trapezoidal.
The Knife Skill of the beef that had turned into a trapezoid could be seen at once, and the chefs who were watching couldn't help but say in unison.
"F * ck!"
"Allow me to take a closer look." After saying that, Chu Xiao strode over.
Yuan Zhou just made a gesture of invitation.
A piece of fresh beef was placed in a trapezoid shape on a white rectangular plate without any patterns. Every piece of beef could be clearly seen from a close distance, and the spacing and size were all the same.
Even the thickness that was difficult to grasp when cutting blindly was the same.
Chu Xiao paid more attention to the first few pieces and the last few pieces.
Generally speaking, regardless of whether it was shredding or slicing, the middle part of the beef would be cut off and then cut after it became square. That way, no slices or shreds of different sizes would be cut out.
Nevertheless, Yuan Zhou didn't do that. That was why Chu Xiao observed these two parts.
"It's surprisingly cut according to the radian and grain direction." After watching that, Chu Xiao felt a little awkward.
Not wasting any material was something that even Chu Xiao himself couldn't do. Not to mention that just now, when he was so close to it, he found that the piece of beef didn't have any of Yuan Zhou's own taste even though it had been in Yuan Zhou's hands for so long.
What filled his nose was the fragrance of the superior fresh beef. Just by smelling the fragrance, he felt the beef would definitely be fresh, tender and juicy.
"Wait. I want to pick it up with the chopsticks and have a look." Chu Xiao suddenly thought of that and then looked at Yuan Zhou and asked.
"The chopsticks are over there. Take them yourself." Yuan Zhou still maintained the rule of the restaurant, which was to pick up food and clothing by himself.
"Ok." Chu Xiao nodded the head.
Taking up the chopsticks, Chu Xiao took a deep breath and then exhaled.
Only then did he start to pick up the slices of beef.
"As expected." Looking at the slices of beef on the chopsticks, Chu Xiao instantly uttered.
"Hiss." The chefs following behind couldn't help making a sound.
The reason why the slices of beef made Chu Xiao say "as expected" and those chefs gasp in surprise was because of its thinness.
The beef slices contrasted with the ivory chopsticks. One could even see the chopsticks covered by the beef through the fine beef. Although the beef picked up was thin, it was nevertheless tough and didn't break. Just hanging on the chopsticks, it looked like a piece of scarlet white paper with some marble patterns painted on it.
"Is this paper thin? Blind cutting paper thin?" Engineer Cheng couldn't get himself back to reality.
"Aren't we shooting a movie?" Some chefs blurted out.
Another one said, "Master Yuan is going to fly to heaven."
It couldn't be helped. Yuan Zhou's skill was too amazing.
"Beef sashimi." Suddenly, Chu Xiao said affirmatively.
"Indeed. This can be eaten directly. I chose the part between the rib eye and the sirloin. This part is soft and juicy with clear frost lines. The quality is excellent and the texture is tender." Yuan Zhou said a lot of words while wearing the face mask.
"Blind cutting of beef sashimi." This time, Chu Xiao added two more words. His expression didn't show, but his eyes were filled with astonishment.
"Please take your time and enjoy." Although Yuan Zhou said that, he still didn't prepare the chopsticks and dipping sauce.
Seeing that there were no chopsticks, the chefs ran to get them one after another. When they came back, they found there was no dipping sauce. Then, they uttered hurriedly.
"Master Yuan, you forgot to prepare the dipping sauce. I …" Just when Engineer Cheng wanted to say he was confident, he thought of the pain in his face just now and then shut his mouth involuntarily.
"It's just right to eat now. No dipping sauce is needed." After saying that, Yuan Zhou didn't care about those chefs and straightforwardly began to wash the dishes. In a little while, he was going to get down to business.
Chu Xiao was the first to eat, followed by Engineer Cheng. He picked up a piece and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
The beef was too thin. Once it entered the mouth, it melted when it touched the warm mouth cavity. When it was chewed again, the faint milky fragrance mixed with the sweet and moist beef flavor suddenly occupied the entire taste buds.
"Delicious. It's a top-notch delicacy." Engineer Cheng took a bite and said affirmatively straightforwardly.
"Hey! Why are you like that? I've only eaten one piece. "Engineer Cheng found the plate was empty after he finished praising Yuan Zhou. Then, he said in surprise.
"How many pieces do you think there are? It's all gone after one piece for each person." Another chef who ate less also said helplessly.
"Master Yuan, you can start now." The chairman put down the chopsticks without a trace and urged Yuan Zhou primly.
"Yeah, yeah. Those ingredients should have been cooked long ago." Lee Yanyi immediately echoed.
"One moment, everybody. The dishes will be sent to you one by one very soon." Yuan Zhou changed a new face mask and said loudly.
"He's really a formidable opponent. Haw-haw." Chu Xiao had already sat back to his seat quietly. Of course, his sitting posture was as unrestrained as before. He looked at Yuan Zhou with a strong fighting spirit.
After eating, the chefs all fell silent. Even their words were pale. Only the delicious food was eternal.
Engineer Cheng savored the taste in his mouth for a while and looked at Yuan Zhou again. Then, he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet and walked to Yuan Zhou.
"Master Yuan, sorry to bother you." Engineer Cheng looked at Yuan Zhou solemnly.
"Please go ahead." Yuan Zhou put down the kitchen knife.
"I have a favor to ask of you. You don't need to answer me now." Engineer Cheng looked around and said that.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"I want to worship you as my teacher. One week later, I will visit you personally. Please tell me your answer at that time." Engineer Cheng said that in one breath and then left straightforwardly without giving Yuan Zhou any chance to respond.
"Interesting." It was Yuan Zhou's turn to say that this time.
All the chefs on site looked at Yuan Zhou expressionlessly. They all wanted to know whether Yuan Zhou would agree or not. After all, no matter if it was washing or cutting the vegetables just now, it was quite worthwhile for them to learn a thing or two.
Then the question was, would Yuan Zhou agree?
