When they called yesterday, they had already agreed that Chu Xiao and the others would come here in advance to have breakfast before starting the communication.
Actually, Yuan Zhou didn’t know why he had to eat breakfast. It was similar to the meeting of only nine people at that time. Anyway, when he received the second phone call and Chu Xiao specifically said this, Yuan Zhou was a little dumbfounded.
However, Chu Xiao and the other master chefs could be said to have come from far away. Since they were going to come, they would treat them well. Sichuan cuisine was a variety of civilian dishes. To put it simply, except for the Royal cuisine of the Rong sect, the other dishes were not very expensive.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou had already decided last night to make a breakfast that he had never made before. The first thing he did when he got up in the morning was to find the flour that was suitable for him in the special cabinet.
That’s right. Yuan Zhou was going to cook noodles, stewed noodles at that. Yibin ramen, Shancheng noodles, Sichuan dan dan noodles and the clear broth noodle soup at the very beginning had appeared in master chef Restaurant. Some customers had also ordered Jiangsu aozao noodles and so on.
“Speaking of which, there are ten famous Chinese noodles: Qin province’s biangbiang noodles, Jin province’s knife-cut noodles, Sichuan province’s dan dan noodles, Xu province’s flat noodles, Yanji’s cold noodles, Jincheng’s ramen, Guangdong province’s yuntun noodles, Lu province’s kun pot noodles, Jiangcheng’s hot dry noodles, and capital’s fried sauce noodles. Hmm, surprisingly, there’s no Shancheng noodles. I only know three kinds.” Yuan Zhou suddenly pondered.
Strictly speaking, he only knew dan dan noodles, plain noodles, and wonton noodles.
“The ten famous dishes are basically ten different cuisines. Now that I’ve seen it, I still have a lot of room for improvement.” Yuan Zhou muttered. No matter how great the master of cooked Wheaten food in China was, even Ji Yi couldn’t do it. Yuan Zhou, who was already the King of Knives and the king of cows, indicated that he could still be called the king of cooked Wheaten food.
The combination of the Three Kings was exactly Yuan Zhou.
The stewed noodles was not a type of common snack in Sichuan cuisine, but the method of braising it was a common cooking method in Sichuan cuisine.
It used to be popular in the central and Northern regions of China, and many places were called ‘Lumian’. The famous Chinese yam and egg pie author, Zhao Shuli, especially liked this type of noodle. Therefore, he had done some research and believed that ‘Lumian’ should be ‘steamed noodles’. Of course,’steamed noodles’ was not the word ‘braised’ used for ordinary braised noodles. It was the word ‘steamed’ used when Zhuo Wenjun and Sima Xiangru were in love and sold wine.
Of course, there were countless ingredients added to the noodles. According to the taste of different places and different personal tastes, the ingredients added would be different, and the names would also be different. For example, Yu Province noodles, Meng province noodles, min province seafood noodles, and Chengdu’s shanzhen noodles.
What Yuan Zhou intended to cook was the stewed noodles with mountain delicacies. He would add in the traditional mountain delicacies such as beans, mushrooms, bamboo fungus, and a series of minced pork. He had prepared quite a lot of things. As a result, Yuan Zhou ran a little faster than usual and then went downstairs a little earlier.
......
“System, do you need a special pot to cook the noodles? otherwise, you won’t be able to finish cooking them.” Yuan Zhou felt that a pot of braised noodles could only serve three or four people. It was too slow.
“The pot has been released. Host, you can check and receive it.” The system displayed.
The system was as straightforward as ever when it came to cooking.
Within a short time, a shiny wok appeared in front of Yuan Zhou.
This pot was a little similar to the pot used in the village to burn firewood, except that its size and appearance were similar. However, the inside was different, different from the traditional stir-frying pan. The bottom of the pot was curved and the edges of the pot were relatively flat, which ensured the uniform heating. He estimated that the calculation of this pot was just right, which meant that the amount of food for one wave of customers was just enough to meet Yuan Zhou’s demand.
“Black technology is advancing very quickly.” Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion and then started to get busy. He planned to eat two servings of stewed noodles to reward himself.
Naturally, the system didn’t pay any attention to Yuan Zhou. After the words appeared, it immediately flashed, which was its current state, in case of any complications.
While Yuan Zhou was busy preparing the breakfast, Chu Xiao had already gotten up.
They had agreed to meet in the hall at 7 am, but Chu Xiao had already arrived at the hall at 6:30 am. As the initiator of Yuan Chu’s round table meeting, this was his attitude.
As a Top Chef, he had a very precise control of time. This was because many dishes had a very high time requirement, so the chefs were always on time.
Chu Xiao had only waited for ten minutes when the chefs who attended the meeting came to the hall one after another.
The first one to appear was naturally opello, who was still brooding about the first place and intended to let Yuan Zhou know what it meant to be the first place.
“Chu, isn’t this arrangement a little inappropriate during the exchange?” Opello had a fat belly, but he was still very fast.
Opello was naturally referring to the three-day exchange meeting. Every day, the exchange meeting would take place after Yuan Zhou finished the breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The dishes that he would exchange with Yuan Zhou were also the dishes that they ordered on that day.
In order to keep up with Yuan Zhou’s time and to make full use of the time to eat more of Yuan Zhou’s dishes, Chu Xiao worked very hard.
Of course, the one who worked the hardest should be Chu Xiao’s newly appointed Secretary. He stayed for a very high salary, but the extent of the turtle boss’s turtle behavior was outrageous.
In order to fulfill the boss’s request to find a sufficient space near master chef Restaurant to temporarily build a place for the exchange meeting, the new Secretary, Zhang Le, almost scratched his head and became Zhang Ai.
Zhang Yue’s name wasn’t a big deal, because she might be replaced at any time.
“Mr. Opello, you must understand each other as an exchange. Therefore, you can get a good understanding of head chef Yuan’s cooking skills from breakfast. Besides that, we can also have a first impression of him.” Chu Xiao said very confidently.
He said it so reasonably that even Chu Xiao himself almost believed it. It was for the sake of communication and not for eating more.
“The arrangement is reasonable.” Opello smiled and said nothing.
He still had to give Chu Xiao some face. Moreover, he was really curious about the man named ‘Yuan Zhou’ who had single-handedly separated the China Chef Association from the Association of Asian famous chefs.
While the two of them were talking, the chefs came to the hall one after another. It was only 6:55. Regardless of whether they were curious about Yuan Zhou or giving Chu Xiao face, they all came here with a very positive attitude. Of course, this was also related to the fact that they had more or less heard of Yuan Zhou’s reputation.
“Alright, let’s go. We should be able to make it in time for breakfast if we head over now.” When Chu Xiao saw that most of the people had arrived, he took the lead and walked in front.
The hotel that Chu Xiao had chosen was a hotel under Wu Yungui’s management. It was very close to Taoxi road. Even if he walked slowly, it would only take him 20 minutes to get there.
Very soon, Chu Xiao and the others arrived at the location of the master chef Restaurant. There were already three people waiting there. One was Wang Hong, who took advantage of Wu Hai’s absence to grab the first prize position. The other was Fang Heng, who ran his own pub. Today, he had finally gotten rid of his father, who had been following him, and planned to eat alone.
The other one didn’t stand in the line, but just stood at the side. At first glance, one could tell that he was waiting for someone. Naturally, he was Chu Xiao’s new Secretary, Zhang Le.
When Chu Xiao and the others arrived, it was not even 7:15. Therefore, there were only a few kittens. Their group of more than ten people was particularly conspicuous.
