Chapter 2309: A dozen radishes
Translator: 549690339
“Good afternoon, master.”
Cheng zhaomei, dashi xiujie, Huang Gang, ke Sen and more than a dozen people’s voices were very loud even if they didn’t deliberately increase their volume.
“Good afternoon.” Yuan Zhou answered with a nod.
Looking at the dozens of radishes in front of him ... No, his apprentice, Yuan Zhou revealed a happy smile of a farmer who had just harvested his radishes.
“Congratulations on your fifth anniversary, master. I hope you’ll get better and better.” The disciples said in unison again.
They had rehearsed this before they came. Although they had brought their gifts, they still had to say a few auspicious words together.
This simple sentence made Cheng zhaomei and the others struggle for a long time.
As Yuan Zhou wasn’t a human being, he didn’t say what he thought to himself. It was because he didn’t know how to give his blessings and it wasn’t good for him to do so.
Wishing his cooking skills to get better and better?
Leave Chu Xiao a way out, okay? Can’t you leave a tail light for the other chefs?
As for blessing the body?
His apprentices all knew that Yuan Zhou could be said to be the second best Chef in the cooking world, Wang Jike. His body was very strong, and most importantly, they were all much older than Yuan Zhou. The scene was really beautiful.
The business of the other small shops was getting better and better, and so on. They were all gaudy and could only be described as getting better and better.
......
“Thank you for your concern, everyone.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
At first, he took in disciples to promote various cuisines. After he took in these disciples, although the treatment of these people was not as good as Cheng zhaomei ‘s, it was not far from that of Cheng zhaomei. Yuan Zhou had spent a lot of effort on them. Therefore, every time he saw these disciples, he would feel a sense of pride.
The in-name disciples had improved very quickly. Zhang Haisen was not the only father who had come to thank his son. For example, Kosen’s father, Kolin, had come a few times. Not only did he come to thank his son, but he also wanted to study the qiancai together with them, killing two birds with one stone.
As for Wang Mingjie’s father, old man Wang, he was stationed in Chengdu. From time to time, he would either harass Zhou Shijie or come to master chef Restaurant for a meal and a chat.
“Master, this is the hot nest chicken with ginger sauce that I made today. I think it’s almost ready. Please try it.” Cheng zhaomei was the first to stand up and place the food box on the table.
Before Cheng zhaomei met Yuan Zhou, she could be said to be a chef of the Chengdu school of Sichuan cuisine. However, after she met Yuan Zhou, she started to develop in the direction of Sichuan cuisine. Not only did she focus on the Chengdu school of Sichuan cuisine, but she also dabbled in other types of Sichuan cuisines, be it Palace cuisines, Jiang Hu cuisines, or other cuisines.
Therefore, Cheng zhaomei’s title as the king of Sichuan cuisine was not just for show. She was really someone who could do well in the field of Sichuan cuisine, no matter which faction it was. Except for her master, no one in the field of Sichuan cuisine could compete with her.
“Pa”
The lid of the lunchbox was opened, and a strong smell of ginger vinegar gushed out, followed by the umami of chicken.
“As expected of the eldest senior brother. Just this fragrance alone is enough for us to chase after him for a long time.” Zhang Longquan stood closer to the front, so he could smell it more clearly.
“It’s true to its name. ” Liu Ming Yuan thought to himself.
“Eldest senior brother is still a powerful expert.” Dashi xiujie was full of energy.
“Zhao Mei, you’re using Southern ginger this time, aren’t you? the taste of ginger is slightly dense and very innovative. Very good.” It was rare for Yuan Zhou to open his mouth and praise first.
“Thank you, master.” Cheng zhaomei nodded.
Yuan Zhou picked up the chopsticks and tasted the chicken. The chicken was fresh and tender, with a strong taste of ginger and vinegar. As the ginger was used, the spiciness was moderate. Then, the aged vinegar was used, which made the sourness slightly strong. Yuan Zhou didn’t know if Cheng zhaomei did it on purpose or something else.
This was because, according to the normal cooking method, fragrant vinegar should be added. Otherwise, the taste of the mature vinegar would slightly cover up the ginger and chicken.
However, this kind of question was too simple. Yuan Zhou was confident in his eldest disciple and would not make such an obvious mistake. Secondly, this kind of taste was his favorite.
“Zhao Mei, did you specially choose the vinegar?” Yuan Zhou asked.
Cheng zhaomei nodded.”That’s right. I think master likes this more than the vinegar.”
Yuan Zhou’s standard had always been that the most original and most authentic dishes were not the best, but the best dishes that were most in line with the customers “taste while retaining the original characteristics of the dishes.
“There’s no problem with the control of the fire. The main thing is that you put in a lot of effort in choosing and mixing the seasonings.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Thank you, master.”
After Yuan Zhou said that, Cheng zhaomei had just finished the last word. He put away the notebook and immediately thanked her.
“It’s not bad,” Yuan Zhou gave a rarely seen comment.
He was telling the truth and not encouraging her. Cheng zhaomei’s recent progress was very obvious. He didn’t know if it was because she had a few more junior brothers, but she was very hardworking.
After Cheng zhaomei was done, according to the usual practice, she should be the only Junior Sister, Luo Qing. However, because it was the first time for the two new registered disciples of Hunan cuisine to show up, the opportunity was given to them.
Mi Hao might be taller than Liu Ming Yuan, standing at 1.9 meters, but he was less courageous than Liu Ming Yuan. Liu Ming Yuan was the first one to step out.
Liu Ming Yuan tried to stabilize his trembling legs. He took a deep breath and stood up.
It wasn’t that Yuan Zhou appeared to be very strict. On the contrary, he was very gentle. However, there was a kind of aura that made people not dare to act rashly. Anyway, Liu Ming Yuan had such a feeling.
“Hello, master. I’m Liu Ming Yuan.” Liu Ming Yuan was so nervous that he started to pout.
“You’re from Hunan cuisine, right? don’t be nervous since it’s your first time here. We’ll take you as our master when we receive news from Qin cuisine. We just need to wait.” Yuan Zhou comforted him when he saw that Liu Ming Yuan seemed to be very nervous.
“There’s no hurry. It’s fine as long as it’s convenient for master,” Liu Ming Yuan blurted out.
After saying a few words and feeling better, Liu Ming Yuan took out the dishes he made from the food box.
He listened to Cheng zhaomei’s words and made a very simple dish. It was a small white plate, a little bigger than a palm, and on it was a glistening eggplant strip, a three-flavored eggplant from Hunan cuisine.
It was a little similar to the eggplant with garlic sauce in Sichuan cuisine, but the taste was not very similar. The eggplant with garlic sauce was more focused on the fish fragrance, while the eggplant with three flavors was a combination of spiciness, sourness, and sweetness. The three flavors were prominent and blended with each other. In fact, the ratio was very difficult to control. If one did not pay attention, the east wind would suppress the West Wind, or the south wind would suppress the north wind.
“There’s no problem with the rough taste, and the fine taste is also perfect. ” “But for many dishes, you can pursue the increase in taste by a little over zero,” said Yuan Zhou.
“As for this dish ... You can cut the size of the eggplant strips into smaller pieces so that it will be easier for the taste to enter. You can go down and test how much smaller it is. Consider it homework for you.” Yuan Zhou left homework for the in-name disciples who came here for the first time.
Before coming here, Liu Ming Yuan had been informed about Yuan Zhou’s guidance by others. He had to either prepare a recording pen or a small notebook to record Yuan Zhou’s guidance.
Liu Ming Yuan wasn’t very confident in his writing speed, so he prepared a recording pen. Although he was nervous, he turned on the recording pen before coming up just in case. It was also considered a coincidence.
“Yes, master, I understand.” Liu Ming Yuan thanked him.
There was no need to doubt Yuan Zhou’s ability. What Liu Ming Yuan needed to do was to first record what Yuan Zhou said and then slowly figure out the rest when he went back.
Although they didn’t hold an apprenticeship ceremony, Liu Mingyuan and mi Hao had done quite a lot of preparation work. After all, not everyone had the opportunity to become Yuan Zhou’s apprentice. They wouldn’t dare to show it if they didn’t have some unique skills.
Next, mi Hao prepared the common red braised pork. Of course, this was also his specialty. The authentic red with a slight cherry-like color made people feel very comfortable.
