Ever since he came to Akara, Charles had been in charge of Yuan Zhou and satisfying all his needs. The same went for the other 57 people. It was quite a big deal to have such a person in each of them.
“It’s indeed the world’s top culinary event. ”
Having walked for two days, Yuan Zhou was quite familiar with the place. Very soon, he arrived at the meeting room. He didn’t enter the meeting area inside but stayed outside. Today, he was going to cook, so naturally, he would cook on the kitchen counter instead of the meeting table.
“Head chef Yuan, you are here. Good Morning.”
Good Morning, Yuan.”
“Head chef Yuan,”
After he arrived, most of the people greeted Yuan Zhou. After two days of getting along with him, everyone had some understanding of Yuan Zhou’s strength. Not to mention other things, he definitely deserved the title of being knowledgeable. There were not many people present who could compare with him, only two or three.
Although they hadn’t seen Yuan Zhou’s practice yet, it didn’t prevent them from admiring him. Plus, everyone present was older than Yuan Zhou. Naturally, they all had the intention of looking after the younger generation.
Yuan Zhou had always been very polite to the older people. Even though he wasn’t very good with words, he still greeted them one by one. It was almost time to start greeting them with so many people.
There were a total of 58 people in the conference, but only 55 people participated in the competition, including Mr. Badhan from Italy, Mr. Shinda Yuichiro from Japan, and Mr. Morhande from Spain. They were all highly respected people. Therefore, the three of them were judges, while the others were participants. No one was unconvinced.
Therefore Italy Japan, and Spain had sent two people this time, one as a judge and the other as a player. Of course, the youngest player was about 65-year-old Ivan from Spain.
Evan had heard of Yuan Zhou like a thunderclap. Of course, it was not only because of mark who was walking in circles, but also because although he had never been to Chengdu, China, to see Yuan Zhou cooking with his own eyes, he had seen the video of Yuan Zhou cooking. To be honest, he had also learned something from it.
Moreover, the news that Mark’s apprentice had defeated an evenly matched opponent with Yuan Zhou’s sudden rise in training method had spread widely in their circle. Coupled with Mark’s strong adulation, Yuan Zhou’s reputation in Spain was definitely growing day by day.
......
Akara’s conference had a tradition that all chefs who were over 80 years old would not cook and would be turned into judges. The country would also choose another person to participate in this conference. Of course, the lifespan of old people was limited, so there were only three judges left.
“The 20th Akara conference’s cooking show will begin now.”
After Badhan’s confident declaration to start, the people who were already standing next to the stoves began to move.
The purpose of this meeting was to witness the true ability of the chef, so there was only one head chef. There was no so-called sous-chef or assistant chef, which was another reason why there was no time limit for the preparation of the food.
Yuan Zhou didn’t choose the place until everyone had made their choices. Therefore, the kitchen range was in the innermost position and was also the furthest away from the place where the ingredients were placed. Even though the atmosphere of the seminar was already quite intense, as it wasn’t a big deal to disagree with others ‘opinions, the real sparks were flying at this moment.
Everyone wanted to fight for the honor of their country, so they naturally wouldn’t be polite. If they didn’t use all their skills, they would feel sorry for what they had learned. Therefore, when they chose the stove, they didn’t give up.
At this time, there were some who were fast and some who were slow. Everyone still had a sense of propriety. Sparks flew everywhere, but they had no intention of fighting. Those who were fast got the better position, and those who were slow naturally got the lower position. There were also those who were more concerned about luck. They had to pay attention to the position and number they chose.
In terms of age, Yuan Zhou was definitely the youngest and the fastest one among them. However, he didn’t move at all. When the dust settled, he went to the last one.
It wasn’t that he was deliberately giving in. The main thing was that he didn’t have any taboos. It didn’t matter where the stove was, and it wouldn’t affect his strength. After all, he had practiced enough.
After Badhan announced the start of the contest, everyone walked towards the place where the ingredients were placed. This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t wait. The place where the ingredients were placed was very large. It wouldn’t feel crowded even if more than 50 people went in together. There was no need to be modest at this time.
Unlike the usual speed of selecting ingredients, Yuan Zhou spent quite a bit of time this time. Moreover, most of the ingredients he chose were live birds. At a glance, there were big white geese, several kinds of ducks, domestic ducks, wild ducks, various kinds of birds and pigeons, of all sizes, and all kinds of side dishes. It could be said that apart from the individual competition, Yuan Zhou had chosen the most ingredients this time.
Even ogyust and the others, who were originally focused on choosing their own dishes, took a few glances at Yuan Zhou and were very curious about what dish Yuan Zhou was going to cook. He had never chosen so many ingredients even in the previous bogus cooking competition.
Of course, no matter how curious they were, they only took a few glances at him. After all, it was a critical moment for everyone. They didn’t have the time to care about others. If it weren’t for Yuan Zhou, ju man Li and the others wouldn’t even look at him. The main reason was that Yuan Zhou was definitely a formidable opponent and they couldn’t even be sure that they would win. They could only try their best.
The opportunities in life were really changing. One year ago, Yuan Zhou was still standing on the stage as a player. Now, he could compete with them on the same stage. It was really fate.
Yuan Zhou didn’t know what was on everyone’s mind. After he got all the ingredients, he returned to his kitchen range and started to process them.
The first things to be dealt with were naturally all kinds of poultry and birds. The organizing committee was very thoughtful. Although these poultry were alive, they had already been prepared for the chef to kill them directly. In any case, other than the fact that they were not killed, everything else had been dealt with in advance. The other ingredients were basically the same.
Of course, there were some that had been killed, but it was up to the chef to decide. Not to mention poultry, even domestic animals such as pigs, cattle, and sheep could be killed by the chef if he wanted to. However, he had to go to another room to kill them. After all, they took up a lot of space and needed a special place. Only domestic animals were smaller in size, so he could directly kill them here.
At a glance, except for aquatic products, almost all the other chefs chose to use slaughtered ingredients. After all, the organizing committee had prepared clean and high-quality ingredients.
“Shua shua shua”
It was definitely a pleasure to watch Yuan Zhou kill poultry. He was obviously doing a very bloody thing, but when he did it, it gave people a strange sense of beauty. At least, that was what Sanada Yuichiro thought. He watched without blinking his eyes.
“Why do some of the moves look like 17 slashes, but many of them don ‘t? they’re so much more complicated than 17 slashes. It’s unbelievable.” Muttered Sanada.
Previously, when big stone got the spiritual symbol of Japan from Yuan Zhou, seventeen cuts, he knew about it and was also excited. Naturally, he also knew that Yuan Zhou knew how to use seventeen cuts.
Originally, he had seen Yuan Zhou’s starting move was 17 knife moves. However, as he became more and more profound, there was an essential difference between that and 17 knife moves. At least, with his eyesight, he couldn’t tell what kind of knife skills he was using.
