Chapter 1536: Officially finished apprenticeshipTranslator: 549690339

As the main purpose of this gathering was to judge the twice-cooked pork cooked by master Cheng, the remaining three people didn’t ask Yuan Zhou about his personal cooking exhibition.
Even though Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan had helped Yuan Zhou block countless interviews and visits, as well as more and more chefs from all over the world who came as it was getting closer and closer to the start of the competition, Yuan Zhou was still very happy.
However, the two people didn’t allow anyone to disturb Yuan Zhou. It could even be said that they had given a strict order not to let anyone disturb Yuan Zhou before the cooking exhibition started.
Therefore, the two of them were extremely busy. Since Yuan Zhou couldn’t come out to entertain the guests, the two of them naturally had to entertain the guests that they could not refuse.
Just like that, as soon as Yuan Zhou said that he needed the two of them to judge master Cheng’s culinary skills, the two of them agreed readily and directly freed up their afternoon time.
Although Yuan Zhou didn’t know all these, he had his own way of thanking them. That was because this time, he would try his best to show off his culinary skills. By then, he would make sure that the people present would not be able to bring back their tongues.
On the other side, master Cheng was being stared at by the four big shots and his most respected master. The pressure on him had increased by several times. However, he was still tense and thus had a more stable performance.
It didn’t take long to prepare a dish of twice-cooked pork. In less than half an hour, master Cheng came to the table with four plates of twice-cooked pork.
The four plates weren’t big. They didn’t even look like plates, but plates. The large pieces of twice-cooked pork, the diamond-shaped green red chili, and the green garlic sprouts all gave off a beautiful oily glow.
The entire plate looked bright and beautiful, and once it was served, the fragrance overflowed. The appearance and smell were very good.
“Home-cooked twice-cooked pork, please enjoy.” Master Cheng put the plate in front of the four people steadily and then stood aside and said.
Oh, by the way, master Cheng’s first dish was naturally for Yuan Zhou.
“It smells like two servings of little Yuan ‘s,” Lee Yanyi said objectively. Then, he picked up the chopsticks and was about to taste it without any hesitation.
“It does look good.” Zhou Shijie also said that to show respect to Yuan Zhou.
“Let me have a taste.” Zhang Ye said.
Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything. He just looked at the twice-cooked pork in front of him seriously and then picked up the chopsticks to pick up a piece.
This time, the meat was cut to the right size. Because it had been blanched before being sliced, the meat was even in thickness. If one looked closely, they could clearly see that the lean meat was slightly charred, the fatty meat was oily and slightly charred, and the skin was a beautiful and transparent brownish-red.
That’s right. This Chenghua pig was a black pig. The improved Chenghua pig used by master Cheng was also a black pig. Therefore, the pig skin was naturally black.
However, after The Black Pig skin was stir-fried, it showed a beautiful brown gel texture due to the appropriate heat control, which increased the desire to taste it.
Yuan Zhou directly put the pork into his mouth. The pure fragrance of the pork burst out in his mouth all of a sudden. After chewing slightly, the gelatinous skin of the pork was slightly tougher and chewy. Meanwhile, the fragrance of the meat was even richer. At this time, the fragrance of the chili blended in and the stimulating spicy taste diluted the greasiness of the fatty meat that was chewed.
The stir-fried garlic sprouts, on the other hand, removed the fishy smell of the pork and even added the fragrance of the garlic. Because they were stir-fried, the spicy taste was gone, but the fragrance of the garlic sprouts was added.
“Cha Cha”, this was the wonderful sound of the fried meat being chewed. The stimulating spiciness, the aroma of the garlic seedlings, and the aroma of the pork made people instantly want to eat three big mouthfuls of rice.
“Oh, it’s very appetizing.” Lee Yanyi said at this time.
“Indeed,” Zhang Yan, who was at the side, nodded his head as he ate.
“It’s a good thing I didn’t eat lunch. It’s just right to have a bowl of rice after the evaluation. ” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.
“We haven’t eaten yet. Little Yuan, I’m going to have breakfast and dinner here.” Zhang Ye said.
“That’s right. The stomach is usually cleaned in advance before tasting the dishes. Therefore, I’ll have to trouble little boss Yuan for breakfast and dinner. ” Lee Yanyi also said.
“No problem,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
Only then did master Cheng, who was listening to their conversation at the side, feel slightly relieved. However, he still stood straight and waited for their comments.
In a short while, the four of them finished the twice-cooked pork on their plates. Only a thin layer of oil was left on the plates, and the four of them put down their chopsticks.
“Today, we’re going to give the final evaluation of master Cheng, head chef Yuan’s apprentice. Our words don’t count, but we can still let you have a look. So, I’ll start with a few words.” Zhou Shijie was the first to speak.
“Please,” he said. Yuan Zhou said.
“First of all, I’ll give Cheng zhaomei’s twice-cooked pork a score of 7.5. Of course, this score is based on the one you made, Yuan Zhou.” Zhou Shijie threw out his score directly.
They didn’t say anything and just waited for Zhou Shijie to continue.
“According to old man Li’s evaluation method, this dish would only get 0.7 Yuan. But the extra 0.05 Yuan is compared with the previous master Cheng, so it got 7.5 yuan.” Zhou Shijie said.
Zhou Shijie’s meaning was very clear. He acknowledged master Cheng’s hard work during this period of time. Therefore, he added 0.5 points.
Master Cheng was very grateful and bowed to Zhou Shijie to express his gratitude.
“Then I’ll be next.” “Chairman Zhou, since you’re complimenting me, then I’ll point out the areas that I’m lacking in,” Zhang Yan said again.
The way Zhang Yan spoke was the opposite of what Zhou Shijie had said. This made master Cheng, who had just relaxed, nervous again.
“First of all, I wouldn’t point out the problem of handling the oil if it was someone else. But you are Yuan Zhou’s disciple. Think about Yuan Zhou’s dishes and then look at your dishes.” Zhang Yan pointed to a thin layer of oil at the bottom of the bowl.
“Yes.” Master Cheng recalled that Yuan Zhou would never leave such oil at the bottom of his bowl after he finished all the dishes. It could be said that Yuan Zhou could control the heat very well and the right amount of oil for the dishes.
“Also, you were pursuing the taste, but the twice-cooked pork slices were a little too old. You should know that, right?” Zhang Ji asked again.
“Yes.” Master Cheng continued to nod his head and looked a little embarrassed. In normal times, he would be the same generation as Zhang Yan and the others, but now it was the time for the postgraduate entrance examination.
Master Cheng was being so reserved completely out of respect for Yuan Zhou.
After all, ever since he became his disciple, his cooking skills had improved significantly. Yuan Zhou didn’t hide anything from him at all.
“There’s nothing else,” Zhang Ye mentioned two points and then continued,”My opinion is 0.7 Yuan.”
“Thank you, President Zhang.” Master Cheng thanked him.
“You’ve already told me the good and bad, so I have nothing to say. ” This time, the sharp-tongued Lee Yanyi didn’t have any desire to say anything.
But Lee Yanyi didn’t give the score directly after a pause. He still said,””In terms of the harmony of the taste, the first thing that entered the mouth was the meaty fragrance. After chewing, the spiciness followed. It was a little late, so the fusion of the taste was a little lacking. The rest was alright.”
After the three of them said that, they looked at Yuan Zhou and waited for his final decision.
Yuan Zhou sat on the chair with his back straight and his hands crossed naturally. He looked at master Cheng, who had already stood in front of the four people with his head lowered, and said,””Stand properly.”
Master Cheng subconsciously raised his head, puffed out his chest, and sucked in his stomach. Then, he stood up straight and looked at Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou was sitting while master Cheng was standing, but that didn’t affect Yuan Zhou’s aura. When he saw master Cheng standing properly, he said seriously,””Seven points, you can finish your apprenticeship.”
