Chapter 1354: Seminar on knife skill fame
After Zhang Yan said this, hang Tian did not ask any more questions. He could only exchange a few pleasantries and then went to chat with other chefs.
However, Colin did not leave. He was still standing beside Zhang Yan.
“What did that kid learn recently?” Colin asked with a serious face.
“Master ke, you’re talking about little Yuan, right?” Zhang Ji turned around and asked.
“Yes.” Colin nodded and didn’t say much.
“They’re still working on a new dish. I heard that they’ve already made a snack.” Zhang Ji didn’t try to hide anything and told him everything.
Although Zhang Yan wanted Yuan Zhou to stay in Sichuan cuisine to further his career, just like what Zhou Shijie had said, it would be a waste of Yuan Zhou’s talent for the entire Chinese cuisines if Yuan Zhou was forced to stay in a certain cuisine.
Therefore, after the ‘friendly discussion’ between Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan had already thought it through. He would not give Yuan Zhou any pressure and would just learn whatever he wanted to learn. He hoped that Yuan Zhou could reach a higher level. This was the policy that the chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Alliance and the entire chef’s Alliance had set for Yuan Zhou in their hearts.
Hence, Zhang Feng did not hide anything from Colin and told him the truth.
“This little brat’s appetite is quite big.” Colin snorted coldly.
“Little Yuan is still young and always wants to try more. Recently, some new dishes have been served.” Zhang Ye said.
“Aren’t you guys going to do anything?” Collin looked at Zhang Ye and asked.
‘You’ naturally included Zhou Shijie. After all, Zhou Shijie and Colin knew each other.
“Young people should be allowed to spread their wings and fly high, and not be bound by their wings.” Zhang Ji said with an enigmatic expression.
This time, Colin didn’t answer. Instead, he turned to his son, Kosen, and said, “Don’t be so ambitious and learn from little Yuan. Study the dish in your hand thoroughly. Don’t compare yourself with that kid. That kid is not human.”
“Yes, Master.” Kosen nodded his head seriously.
“Master ke, you’re too strict.” Zhang Ye looked at Colin and then at Kosen.
Zhang Ye was naturally referring to the way that Kosen addressed Kolin.
Almost all of the older generation who came here knew that Kosen was Colin’s son, but Colin had never allowed Kosen to call him father in front of others.
If he was in the kitchen, he would even ask Kohen to call him head chef. In front of others, he would call him master.
This was because Kosen had truly acknowledged Colin as his master, even if the two of them were really father and son.
“Strict requirements are the basic requirements of a chef.” “That’s something that’s vividly reflected in that kid,”Colin said.
“Master is right.” Kosen nodded his head at the side.”It’s a good role model to learn from Yuan Zhou!”
“Even more old-fashioned than me.” Zhang Ye said quietly.
Fortunately, the conversation between the three of them didn’t last long before the host announced the official start of the exchange.
Speaking of which, both Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie had made a mistake. They didn’t even ask Yuan Zhou about the exchange of cuisines.
If he asked, according to Yuan Zhou’s current demand, he would really come and take a look at the older generation seated there. They were basically the top chefs of various cuisines.
If Yuan Zhou came, the mission of the system would be completed instantly.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t know about this at all. At this time, Yuan Zhou was opening his restaurant.
The seminar went smoothly. Although the older generation present were old, and some had even retired from the stove, they still talked endlessly about cooking.
At the same time, they also didn’t forget to compare the new young chefs of their own cuisines. Every time this happened, they would ask the young chefs to say a few words as a way to show their faces.
When it was Collin’s turn, he naturally talked about the Guizhou cuisine and then mentioned Colson who was behind him. Then, he talked about Yuan Zhou.
Therefore, when it was time for Zhang Yan to speak, the others could not help but speak up. The first to speak was the Huaiyang cuisine master, hang Tian, who had just spoken: “Quickly play the video that President Zhang brought for us.”
“That’s right. Master ke rarely holds someone in such high regard.” The Cantonese cuisine master said,
“It’s not because the younger generation likes to go online. There’s news on the internet. I heard that little Yuan is also very famous online. ” The master of Hui province cuisines also nodded and said.
“Last time, the tengyuan Jiayuan was also impressed by little Yuan’s cooking skills. It’s a pity that I wasn’t in China at that time. Otherwise, I could also see how dazzling the steamed rice with anchovy is.” The person who said this was a local cuisine master in Shanghai.
“Boss Yuan’s performance at the Sino-Japan Chef exchange meeting is indeed very eye-catching.” The one who spoke was Li Minghui, who had come to attend the exchange meeting on behalf of Zhou Shijie.
Li Minghui naturally represented Lu cuisine.
“Minghui, you and little Yuan participated in the exchange meeting between China and Japan.” The local cuisine chef in Shanghai nodded.
“Yes, I am.” Li Minghui nodded.
Following that, everyone urged him a little more. Zhang Ye then stood up with the USB drive and said,”This is an internal video of our Sichuan cuisine. I’m contributing some solid food today.”
Zhang Ye smiled as he handed the USB drive to the staff member in charge of the screening.
“Which one of us didn’t bring out something useful? you’re the only one who knows how to claim credit.” The ones who spoke were naturally the chefs of the older generation.
They were all from the same generation, so it was natural for them to talk a lot.
“This video was taken when little Yuan and I were discussing the translucent beef slices, which is a very famous dish in Sichuan cuisine.” Zhang Ye smiled and did not say much. He started introducing the video.
“This translucent beef slices is a specialty dish of Dazhou in Sichuan Province. Little Yuan has a deep understanding of this dish. In the video, not only did they discuss the process, but little Yuan also demonstrated how to cut the translucent beef slices and make it live up to its name.” Following Zhang Yan’s introduction, the video began to play.
As Zhang Yan had said, there were only him and Yuan Zhou in the video.
Most of the people here knew that there was a young genius chef in Sichuan Province. When he convinced tengyuan Jiayuan, his reputation rose. After that, a series of events made Yuan Zhou even more famous.
However, all the people present were the older generation of chefs. Although they were curious, they didn’t have the desire to go and have a look. Every year, a genius chef would appear in the cooking world. Under the circumstances that they didn’t know Yuan Zhou well, they would at most think that Yuan Zhou’s Sichuan cuisine was very good.
But what did it have to do with the other cuisines?
Therefore, only a few of the older generation of chefs present had a deep and intuitive understanding of Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills. However, almost all the younger generation standing behind them knew Yuan Zhou, no matter the cuisines.
Thinking about it, it made sense. He was so popular online.
These disciples of the younger generation looked at Yuan Zhou with a complicated expression. Some were jealous, some sighed with emotion, and some were envious. In short, it was very complicated.
As soon as the older generation saw Yuan Zhou appear in the camera, a sentence immediately appeared in their hearts,””This kid has become a great talent.”
That’s right, he had such an evaluation on their first meeting.
In the camera, Yuan Zhou had a serious expression and a straight back. When he talked to Zhang Yan, he was neither too fast nor too slow. Not only did he have the demeanor of a master, but his posture when holding the knife was also very relaxed. One could tell at a glance that he was a capable person.
“I’m afraid little Yuan’s cooking skills are about the same as yours and mine. ” This was said by the Huaiyang cuisine master, hang Tian, who was talking to the Cantonese cuisine master next to him.
The Cantonese cuisine master nodded his head in agreement. Then, he pointed at the meat that Yuan Zhou had just cut and said,””How’s his knife skill compared to yours?”
