Chapter 1509: Chu Xiao’s phone
As soon as Chu Xiao appeared in front of them, these people immediately stopped their discussion and began to greet him.
After all, Chu Xiao’s status and reputation were much higher than theirs. Or rather, his cooking skills were much higher than theirs. He was also much younger than them.
This group of five people all seemed to be over 35 years old. They were not as young as Chu Xiao, who was less than 28 years old.
“Hello, Chu.”
“Chu li, what do you think about the ingredients this time?”
“I wonder how Chu li views the food this time?”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, head chef Chu. ”
Each and every one of them greeted Chu Xiao gently.
With this greeting, Chu Xiao immediately recognized the person who had just spat out Chinese food syndrome. He was that brown-haired man who looked to be over 40 years old.
He was also wearing a black suit and looked quite kind with a smile on his face. At least, he was very friendly and humble to Chu Xiao in front of him.
“Chinese food syndrome?” Chu Xiao smiled and said directly.
“No, no, no. Chu Xiao, you misunderstood us. We didn’t mean that just now.” The person beside the brown-haired man immediately stood up and explained.
Now, how could these people not know that Chu Xiao had heard their conversation? however, due to Chu Xiao’s identity, they still explained hurriedly.
......
“What does that mean?” Chu Xiao asked with a kind smile.
“It’s a misunderstanding. We didn’t mean it that way. ” Because they had heard the exact words, these people could only repeat the sentence.
It wasn’t that they were making a mountain out of a molehill, but the term ‘Chinese food syndrome’ was a form of discrimination.
The incident originated in 1968. A Chinese American doctor named Ho Man Kwok published a short article in the New England Journal of Medicine. In a literary tone, he described the sudden numbness in his limbs, palpitations, and weakness in his body after eating at a Chinese restaurant. He guessed that it might be caused by the addition of MSG in Chinese food.
After that, the largest gourmet powder production company in Japan immediately announced that there was no problem with the gourmet powder itself. The main reason for the “gourmet powder syndrome” was that the flavor essence used in Chinese restaurants was too large. As a result, there was a new term for the gourmet powder syndrome, the Chinese restaurant syndrome.
Because of this, it caused a huge chain reaction in Europe and the United States, leading to a depression in foreign Chinese restaurants.
Even though there was no evidence, many people believed that the disease was caused by Chinese food. Therefore, this was not called Chinese food syndrome, but Asian discrimination, or rather, discrimination against Chinese food.
And because of the efforts of the country and the people in recent years, people rarely mentioned such words on the surface, let alone at a banquet held by a famous chef like August.
This was not a good thing. After all, ogyust was a famous chef. He was still very curious about the food of China. He had once said that the high-end food of China was not inferior to French food.
The brown-haired man slapped August and Chu Xiao in the face.
Seeing that these people couldn’t explain anything and that the brown-haired middle-aged man who said those words only looked a little embarrassed but didn’t seem to regret it, Chu Xiao opened his mouth.
“It doesn’t matter if your cooking skills are bad or if your character is bad. But I didn’t expect that you didn’t even read the World Health Organization and the food and food organization of the United Nations ’23rd conference. You don’t even have the most basic knowledge. I think you really don’t deserve to be a chef, and you don’t deserve to stand here and participate in such an event.” Chu Xiao stared at this man like an eagle and said seriously.
“You!” The brown-haired middle-aged man was so angry at Chu Xiao’s words that his face turned red and then white. For a while, he couldn’t say anything.
However, because of Chu Xiao’s merciless words and his powerful aura, the four people on the side didn’t dare to interrupt for a while.
Moreover, Chu Xiao was with Auguste just now. Therefore, the people around them slowly shifted their eyes to him.
Feeling the attention of so many people, the brown-haired middle-aged chef was shocked. He immediately realized that he couldn’t admit defeat now. If he did, his career as a chef would be ruined.
He had to bite the bullet and retort.
With this thought in mind, the middle-aged chef with brown hair relaxed his expression and put on a firm expression,””If they weren’t addicted to MSG, they wouldn’t have stayed in China. They are the youngest and most powerful three in France”
That’s right, the brown-haired chef was ready to take a gamble and directly state his discrimination. This way, he could still win the favor of those chefs who already discriminated against Asia.
“Besides, that chef called Yuan Zhou must be very good at using MSG to make people addicted to it.” The middle-aged chef with brown hair recalled what his friend had said just now and even specially brought out Yuan Zhou as an example.
In the information age, it was unbelievable to hear such a ridiculous statement. However, what was even more ridiculous was that there were many people who were prejudiced like the brown-haired man.
The middle-aged chef with brown hair looked at Chu Xiao with a fierce look. However, Chu Xiao turned his head to the side and said to the waiter casually,””Bring me a projector.”
“Alright, please wait a moment.” The waiter immediately nodded and left.
“Oh? What happened?” Auguste asked as he led a group of people over.
“It’s a small matter. I just wanted to prove that there’s a problem with my cooking skills.” Chu Xiao said indifferently.
“Then I’ll open my eyes too.” Auguste laughed.
“No problem, you’ll be amazed.” Chu Xiao said confidently.
“Let’s wait and see,” Auguste nodded.
This group of people just talked to themselves, completely ignoring the group of people led by the middle-aged chef with brown hair.
The middle-aged chef with brown hair was embarrassed and angry. When he was about to speak, the waiter came over with a projector.
Because the banquet was held in the open-air at the farm, there was a background wall where the speech would be delivered on the rostrum. Chu Xiao planned to place the projection there.
“Many thanks.” Chu Xiao nodded slightly to the waiter and then took out his phone and continued,”Please connect me to my phone, I need to use it immediately.”
“Yes, sir.” The waiter carefully took the phone and started to play with it.
During this period, Auguste had been looking at Chu Xiao with great interest, waiting to see his surprise.
The brown-haired middle-aged chef was deeply stimulated by Chu Xiao’s kind attitude towards others and even the waiters.
After all, Chu Xiao despised and ignored him.
“Chu, even though your cooking skills are top-notch, you can’t ...” The middle-aged chef with brown hair couldn’t help but interrupt.
However, before he finished, he was interrupted by Chu Xiao,”Look carefully. There is only one person among you who can achieve such cutting skills, and that person is me.”
“Now, let’s show everyone the knife skills of the Chinese chef Yuan Zhou.” While saying that, Chu Xiao directly started to play it.
Chu Xiao’s words were loud and clear. He was very certain. Even Auguste at the side couldn’t help frowning and then looking at the projection.
That’s right. The waiter had already set up the projection and what appeared on the projection was Yuan Zhou’s knife skill demonstration in the cooking exchange and it had already started to play.
