"Don't you think this master looks familiar?" Bai Guo suddenly asked.
"What?" Jiang Meisi looked at him and didn't think so.
"Yes, a little." Li He also felt that Engineer Cheng looked familiar.
"I know. Isn't he the judge of the Southeast Asian Master Chef who stole the headlines with us last time?" Bai Guo suddenly said.
"Yes, that's him." Li He also remembered instantly.
"Culinary judge?" Jiang Meisi was a little puzzled.
"Yes. Bai Guo and I originally had a variety show and it was on the hot search list. But because this person was a critic of the Southeast Asian Food Conference held in Vietnam, his comments were so sharp that his Weibo exploded. I didn't expect him to be here." Li He found it hard to believe.
It wasn't hard to believe. Back then, Bai Guo and Li He's interaction had been stirred up by the program team because of their slightly rotten interaction. While they were still on the hot search list, this Master Cheng suddenly became popular because of a video where he sharply commented on the pros and cons of foreign and Chinese cuisines.
Later, people found out that this person was a very famous Master Chef in China. He had once represented the country on a culinary exchange abroad.
However, they didn't expect that such an excellent Master Chef was actually an apprentice here. Moreover, judging from his respectful expression when he looked at Yuan Zhou, it was obvious that he admired Yuan Zhou wholeheartedly.
"Such a person is learning to cook here?" Jiang Meisi found it hard to believe.
After all, in their opinion, such a person who was rated as a Master Chef should be very proud. How could he stand in front of Yuan Zhou and learn with such a respectful expression?
Last time, they went to film an artiste about bamboo weaving. That person was also known as a Master Chef and had an extremely bad temper. Even though he knew they were filming a show, he still didn't give them any face.
He acted as if he was very talented and didn't care about them at all. However, such a nationally famous Master Chef was so humble and gentle, which really surprised them.
They almost rubbed their eyes and wondered if there was something wrong with them.
"Yeah. Engineer Cheng has been here for a long time. He wants to be Boss Yuan's disciple, but Boss Yuan doesn't agree at all," a customer said proudly.
"You still don't agree?" The three of them looked at Yuan Zhou and Engineer Cheng with a strange expression, then silently raised Yuan Zhou's status in their hearts.
"Yeah, I haven't met Master Yuan's requirements." Engineer Cheng also heard their conversation and replied.
"Ahem, Master Cheng, what other requirements do you have?" Bai Guo was stunned by Engineer Cheng's words and asked curiously.
Master Cheng looked at Yuan Zhou respectfully and thought of Yuan Zhou's various culinary skills. Then, he answered, "I think he's still far from it."
He had no idea what level Yuan Zhou was at. Shock after shock came one after another. At first, he thought that he was just slightly weaker than Dean, but now, even Dean was completely convinced.
"Then, Master Cheng, can you tell us what's the easiest way to learn here?" Li He was the first to recover from the shock and asked about the mission.
"Normally, it's impossible for you to learn Master Yuan's culinary skills in such a short time. But there's something you can try. You should be able to learn something by following the posture," Master Cheng didn't keep them guessing and said straightforwardly.
"What is it?" the three of them asked in unison. Even Dean was curious.
"Watermelon juice. Freshly squeezed watermelon juice," Engineer Cheng said.
"Watermelon juice? Yeah, why didn't we think of that? This beverage is definitely the easiest, "Bai Guo immediately reacted and said excitedly." Indeed.
Freshly squeezed watermelon juice is very easy, "Jiang Meisi nodded with a smile.
"This should be doable," Li He nodded and said with relief.
"Is there anything different about the watermelon juice squeezed by this Chef Yuan?" Dean looked at Engineer Cheng's expression and asked keenly.
"Of course. All the dishes cooked by Master Yuan, even a seemingly simple watermelon juice, are different from those cooked outside," Engineer Cheng said affirmatively.
"What difference can it make?" Bai Guo asked subconsciously.
That's right. It was just a watermelon juice. If the watermelon was cut into pieces and squeezed by the juicer, it would be bad. How could there be any difference?
"There might be." Jiang Meisi suddenly thought of Yuan Zhou's unique posture of washing the rice grains.
"What's the difference?" Li He asked cautiously.
"Master Yuan is about to make it. Have a look yourself." Even though Engineer Cheng was talking to them, he was still paying attention to Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he immediately signaled them to look at Yuan Zhou.
This time, it wasn't Jiang Meisi's arrangement. It was a customer who directly ordered the watermelon juice.
"How lucky! There's still watermelon juice in the evening," the customer said happily.
Watermelon juice was limited. Not to mention now, there was no watermelon juice at night even when the weather was extremely cold during the Chinese New Year.
It was like meeting a pillow while dozing off. Just as he was about to learn, he saw it.
"Come on, let's go over and see how Boss Yuan makes the watermelon juice," Li He immediately called out to them.
"Ok," Bai Guo and Jiang Meisi answered immediately and then walked forward.
The speed at which Yuan Zhou squeezed the watermelon juice was much faster than the speed at which he cooked plain white rice.
Li He, Bai Guo, Jiang Meisi and Dean only saw Yuan Zhou take out a whole watermelon. Li He murmured, "This watermelon has a nice appearance, round and beautiful color."
With a swish, a cold light flashed in the air. Yuan Zhou had already made a fist-sized round cut on the top of the watermelon. Before Li He and the others could praise the freshness of the fruit, they saw Yuan Zhou take out the knife from an extremely weird angle. He waved it and directly poured out a cylindrical watermelon with a complete cut surface.
Of course, this watermelon was the one in the middle. It was like a smooth ruby pillar lying quietly in the plate. Then, Yuan Zhou squeezed it to make a cup of fresh watermelon juice.
When the watermelon juice was poured into the cup, it was a beautiful red color. There was a faint white mist on the surface of the cup, which made people drool. Moreover, they could even smell the freshness of the watermelon.
However, the whole process took less than two minutes. This was because the method of squeezing the watermelon juice was relatively primitive and the materials were all hand-picked.
More importantly, Yuan Zhou was using a kitchen knife the whole time. This was what shocked them.
How did such a large kitchen knife fit into such a small hole and then cut out such a neat cylindrical shape?
"In the past, in the TV series, all the ingredients would be cut by just waving the knife in the air. I didn't believe it until I saw how Chef Yuan processed the watermelon," Bai Guo couldn't help muttering.
"That's too fast," Jiang Meisi wrinkled her nose and frowned, feeling like she didn't see anything clearly.
"Indeed, it's a bit fast," Li He was somewhat absent-minded. He only saw the cold light flash twice.
This mission wasn't to make things difficult for them. They were just celebrities, not chefs. How could they be so good with knives?
