Chapter 2334: Great SaviorTranslator: 549690339
It was also true that Liu Xi and Liu Jian were unlucky. It was a great regret to miss the election of Yuan Zhou’s in-name disciple.
From another point of view, it could be said that they were lucky. Not to mention that they had come here at the right time when Yuan Zhou was free and could exchange cooking skills with him, they also came back at the right time and were in the third line. They were neither near nor far away and could have a meal together. They were much luckier than the others who came late and couldn ‘t.
Following su Ruoyan’s words, lunchtime officially began.
The people from the first group filed in, while the people from the second group were ready to go. The people from the other groups could only look forward to it.
Although the sun was scorching, it was still quite pleasant to drink the sour plum soup while waiting. The sour plum soup made by Yuan Zhou was naturally very stunning, especially for those who were drinking it for the first time.
At the very least, Liu Xi and Liu Jian felt that the sour plum soup was very appetizing. They could not cook it anyway.
One of them was a master of diannan cuisine while the other was a master of Guizhou cuisine. Their culinary skills went without saying. Even the sensitivity of their tongues was incomparable to ordinary people. Although he didn’t know who made this sour plum soup, some of his speculations were true. There was no chef better than Yuan Zhou within a radius of tens of miles. If he didn’t make it himself, he must have guided him.
Time passed by like flowing water. Soon, the people in the second-level team went in to eat and came out one after another. Soon, the people in the third-level team also went in.
Liu Xi and Liu Jian were at the front of the third-level queue. After the three of them had entered, it was finally their turn.
He slowly walked under the sun toward the entrance of the store. With every step he took, he could feel a slight change in the temperature. When he entered the store, he felt very comfortable. It was not the kind of feeling where he felt cold all of a sudden. Instead, he felt that the temperature was very suitable without him realizing it. There was no need to ask why. If he asked, it was simply the system’s Black technology.
“It seems like there are more seats.” Liu Jian muttered.
Then, she and her brother went to an empty table for two and sat down.
“It’s the two master Lius, long time no see. ” Yuan Zhou happened to raise his head and saw the figures of Liu Xi and Liu Jian.
His memory was very good, and the two of them had basically not changed, so even though they had not seen each other for a few years, he could still recognize the two of them at a glance.
However, it was the business time now. Yuan Zhou just sighed with emotion and then shifted his attention to the steak cooked in front of him. It was a filet steak that someone had ordered.
“Swish, swish!”
After the oil had just come out, the temperature of the beef had increased, and the texture of the meat also slowly changed. The fragrance of the beef came out bit by bit. Yuan Zhou turned the beef over and sprinkled some seasonings on it quickly with his right hand. Then, he continued to roast the beef. The whole process was as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, very natural and smooth.
The moment Liu Xi sat down and raised his head, he happened to catch a glimpse of Yuan Zhou’s natural and rhythmic movements. He couldn’t help widening his eyes to take a closer look. Unfortunately, there were so many people coming and going. Moreover, Yuan Zhou was not cooking in one place, but several pots at the same time. Therefore, Yuan Zhou’s figure disappeared from his sight very soon.
He couldn’t help but stretch his neck, but he didn’t see anything. He could only give up.
“Brother, What are you looking at?” Liu Jian was sitting opposite him, facing Sakurai’s shrimp wall and thus couldn’t see Yuan Zhou’s actions.
“I just saw head chef Yuan. He seems to have improved a lot. He is completely different from a few years ago.” Liu Xi exclaimed.
He knew that Yuan Zhou had definitely made great progress, but no matter how much he imagined, he couldn’t compare to seeing Yuan Zhou in reality. Liu Xi’s cooking skills had improved slowly, but that didn’t mean that Liu Xi’s eyesight was bad. He could get a glimpse of Yuan Zhou’s strength just by looking at a few movements of Yuan Zhou.
“Isn’t that normal?” Even though he said that, Liu Jian still turned his head and looked in the direction of the kitchen. Unfortunately, he didn’t see Yuan Zhou’s figure in the crack on their side and was reluctant to turn his head.
“What would you like to order?” Su Ruoyan came over to order food for the two brothers.
Only then did the two brothers realize that they were here to eat, not to watch Yuan Zhou cook. When they looked at the thick and heavy menu on the table that had not been flipped, they felt a little embarrassed.
“I want a large slice, a big helper, a sour bamboo shoot boiled chicken, and a serving of white rice.” Liu Jian thought for a while and directly ordered a few dishes that he was good at.
It wasn’t a test. He just wanted to compare himself with Yuan Zhou and see how far he was from Yuan Zhou after several years of closed-door cultivation.
When Liu Xi heard Liu Jian’s order, he instantly understood his intentions and did not wait for su Ruoyan to ask. He immediately opened his mouth and said,””I’ll have a heavenly Ginger Chicken, a sweet and sour crispy fish, a kung Bao Taro tofu, and a bowl of rice.”
Liu Xi was addicted to spicy food. He especially liked to eat chilies and was not afraid of spicy food. Although he was not young anymore, the food he ate was still very strong.
Collin from Guizhou Province had once given Yuan Zhou the fermented pepper he had made to taste and Yuan Zhou had returned the favor. The fermented pepper was the main ingredient for making the fermented spicy crispy fish. However, the best cook of the fermented pepper in Guizhou Province was not Collin but Liu Xi.
Therefore, the dish of sweet ‘n’ sour spicy crispy fish could not be compared to Liu Xi ‘s, and the reason was the sweet’ n ‘sour chili.
“Okay, please wait a moment.” After su Ruoyan remembered it, she said it and then politely left.
“How far do you think we are from head chef Yuan? I felt like I couldn’t catch up a few years ago. Now that I have improved, it should be better, right?” Liu Jian said with uncertainty.
“Ha, better? Is head chef Yuan going to wait for you? You’d better see if you can maintain that gap. After all, head chef Yuan is still young. ” Liu Xi was very self-aware.
Moreover, he had seen Yuan Zhou’s movements before and knew that it definitely didn’t mean that he had improved a little. Therefore, he was very clear about that.
Liu Jian wasn’t angry when he heard that. He felt that his brother was right. Head chef Yuan was an abnormal genius. If his speed of improvement slowed down, he would be disgracing his reputation as a genius. An ordinary person like him, who was a hard-working man, was overestimating himself by thinking that he could compete with a fighter among geniuses.
After Liu Xi retorted his younger brother, he began to look at the kitchen, waiting for Yuan Zhou to turn to the kitchen counter and watch his actions more.
Although he could not see clearly due to his fast speed, it did not prevent Liu Xi from watching attentively.
Liu Jian also craned his neck to turn back to take a look. After a few minutes, probably a few seconds or a few minutes, his first dish was served. It was a very simple rescue.
In fact, the Savior also had another name, which was Tengchong stir-fried bait. This was a dish related to Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty. It could be considered a historical dish given a name by the Emperor.
The bait prepared by Yuan Zhou was in the shape of a slice. Therefore, as soon as it was served, apart from the green and red color of the chili, the most obvious thing was the pieces of bait with the same thickness and size that had a round color after being stir-fried.
With the addition of other side dishes, such as golden eggs, black shiitake mushrooms, red ham, and so on, the colorful dishes looked very beautiful. Not to mention, there was also a fresh, spicy, and glutinous fragrance that rushed to the tip of the nose, and no one could resist it.
“It’s so fragrant. I feel that the rice fragrance of this bait slice is especially strong and sweet. It’s still very distinct even with so many side dishes.” Liu Jian sniffed the fragrance carefully.
