Chu Xiao took another bite and then continued to think with a frown. He had to figure out the problem. That was his idea.
Li Minghui and Liu Tong were both stupefied.
"This taste. Isn't it just the fish skin? Why is it so delicious?" Liu Tong couldn't understand it and revealed an astonished look.
"The taste is indeed very fresh and delicious. Besides, there's no sense of MSG." Li Minghui said affirmatively.
"Now you know?" Zhou Shijie turned his head and looked at his disciple, saying smilingly.
"Master, your eyes are really as sharp as before." Li Minghui lowered his head slightly and said respectfully.
However, Li Minghui still didn't praise Yuan Zhou.
"I feel it's indeed fresh and delicious, but his attitude isn't good." Liu Tong didn't stop eating and neither did his mouth. He continued complaining.
Liu Tong still couldn't let go of the half-hour he had been waiting outside the door.
"Even so, his attitude is better than yours." Zhou Shijie said bluntly.
Indeed, as Liu Tong was very talented, cooking was a piece of cake for him and he didn't need to study hard. Therefore, except for Li Minghui, his master and the evildoer Chu Xiao, he didn't respect anyone.
Under such circumstances, his attitude towards others was naturally not good.
"But I respect you, master." Liu Tong said smilingly and didn't feel that he respected others at all.
"What a crafty boy." Zhou Shijie stroked his goatee and obviously didn't care about that.
"Li Minghui, wait a minute. You brat, you ate up the dish without saying anything. Leave some for me." Zhou Shijie didn't care about anything else and immediately reached out to pick up the last piece of Cold Fish Skin.
"Then I'll leave it to you, master." Li Minghui put down the chopsticks courteously and appeared a little embarrassed.
Li Minghui seldom snatched food, at least not as much as Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao directly picked up the last piece of food in the bowl and stuffed it into his mouth under Zhou Shijie's dumbfounded gaze. Li Minghui didn't know how to snatch food.
"I understand." After eating it, Chu Xiao heaved a sigh and then said earnestly.
"What do you understand? You will understand. Don't you understand respecting the old and loving the young?" Zhou Shijie said angrily.
"Boss Yuan, your knife skills are really superb!" Chu Xiao paid no attention to Zhou Shijie's ridicule. Instead, he looked at Yuan Zhou and said earnestly.
"Thank you for your compliment." Yuan Zhou nodded lightly and responded to Chu Xiao's compliment.
As for his heart, he was naturally very happy.
"Who asked you to act cool? Now that you're in this Master Chef's territory, you won't have the chance," Yuan Zhou thought seriously.
"What do you mean?" Although Zhou Shijie was the guild leader, he was just enjoying the delicacies and didn't think about the cooking method, so he was still a little confused.
"Master Chu, isn't your evaluation too high?" Li Minghui knitted his brows and then said.
"That's right. Master Chu, your evaluation is way too high." Liu Tong didn't agree with Chu Xiao's evaluation, either.
"Chairman Zhou, your culinary skills are very good, but your eyesight isn't so good." Chu Xiao didn't pay attention to the two people, but said to Zhou Shijie regretfully.
"Cough, cough, cough. Do you think everyone is as talented as you and Yuan Zhou? You're like an abnormal person." Zhou Shijie ridiculed in the heart, but when he saw his two apprentices didn't look convinced, he didn't say anything.
Instead, he said to ease the atmosphere, "Don't keep us guessing. Tell me."
"I'd like to hear the details." Li Minghui was a little older after all, so he could still keep calm and said.
Liu Tong, nevertheless, directly snorted coldly and was quite dissatisfied.
"The fish skin used for the dish of Weaving Brocade Diligently in Winter Clothes is fresh. Can you tell?" Chu Xiao pointed at the empty plate in front of him and asked directly.
"Of course. Those with a little ability will always use fresh ones. Can't they be bought from the market?" Liu Tong sneered.
"Those with a little ability obviously referred to Yuan Zhou.
"All the ingredients in our restaurant are of the best quality. I believe the two chefs should be able to distinguish them." When Yuan Zhou carried the dish to the table, he said seriously and then turned around and left.
Although Yuan Zhou's voice sounded a little muffled in the face mask, his tone was quite serious.
"Yes, I know." Li Minghui nodded the head to express his affirmation.
"Ho Ho. You don't have high talent and poor eyesight. Even if you have a great teacher, it's useless." Looking at the two people's behavior, Chu Xiao didn't feel happy inwardly and thus said straightforwardly.
"Yeah. You, Chu Xiao, are born to eat this bowl of rice. Then tell me why this dish is called superb." Liu Tong couldn't bear it anymore. He said with an eccentric tone, but he still maintained the basic respect.
The reason why Liu Tong and Li Minghui reacted so strongly was because of the evaluation given by Chu Xiao. When they carried the dish to Chu Xiao on the table, Chu Xiao just said lightly, "It's basically qualified."
That's right. That was the simple evaluation. In the two people's opinion, it was simply unimaginable. However, the other party was Chu Xiao, the youngest Michelin three-star chef in history, so they just accepted it.
But now, there was an unknown Yuan Zhou that Chu Xiao thought had reached the acme of perfection. If these two people didn't explode, they would be tortoises, at the level of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
"You know it's fresh, but you still ask. So you still don't understand. It took less than 10 minutes from the time the fish skin was peeled out to the time it was served, right?" Chu Xiao said affirmatively.
"This …" Li Minghui and the others were stupefied.
Nevertheless, Liu Tong reacted quickly and said straightforwardly, "10 minutes is indeed very fast, but it still can't be called superb."
"Ho Ho. From the time the fish was scooped out to the time the fish skin was peeled off, this Boss Yuan only cut it once. Do you understand now?" Chu Xiao pointed at Yuan Zhou and said affirmatively.
"By the way, I forgot to tell you. You two definitely can't do that. As far as I know, more than 95% of chefs can't do that." When Chu Xiao said that, he didn't look at Li Minghui and Liu Tong at all. Instead, he looked at Yuan Zhou enthusiastically.
It was a kind of excitement of meeting an opponent.
"One cut? How is that possible? "Liu Tong was the first one who didn't believe it.
"One cut? It's true that the texture and taste of the fish skin can be preserved perfectly in that way, but how is that possible with only one cut? " Even the steady Li Minghui didn't believe it. He looked at his master, Zhou Shijie, for confirmation.
"Yes. If it's him, he can indeed peel off the fresh fish skin with one cut." Zhou Shijie nodded his head and said affirmatively.
"No wonder it's so fresh and delicious. No wonder it's so fragrant when a fresh fish explodes in the mouth." Zhou Shijie let out a sigh. He no longer looked at Yuan Zhou as a junior. Instead, he looked at Yuan Zhou as if he was looking at a chef, just like Chu Xiao.
"It's indeed one cut. Your tongue is very good." Yuan Zhou answered affirmatively, which directly crushed Liu Tong's confidence.
"He can surprisingly peel off the fish skin with one cut. If only I had seen it at that time." Liu Tong muttered to himself. Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were too horrifying!
"Of course. Not only that, I also know you have steamed the fish before peeling it. Why didn't the fish skin shrink?" Chu Xiao looked at Yuan Zhou eagerly.
Yuan Zhou, "…"
