“Master, you already knew, didn’t you?” Liu Tong didn’t sound proud at all like what Zhou Shijie had thought. Instead, he sounded unhappy with a low voice.
“You know? You mean old Li’s evaluation? I don’t know about that. That kid is very strict with his evaluation. He’s not someone who can be influenced by others. ” Zhou Shijie subconsciously thought that she was talking about Lee Yanyi’s matter and thus said discontentedly.
Zhou Shijie’s dissatisfaction was toward Liu Tong. He was dissatisfied that Liu Tong actually doubted Lee Yanyi’s personal integrity as a food critic, which was not a good thing.
“It’s not Mr. Li’s business,” Liu Tong took a deep breath and then said.
“You’re not? What’s that?” Zhou Shijie asked with puzzlement.
“I’m talking about old … Head chef Yuan.” Liu Tong subconsciously changed to a more respectful form of address.
“Yuan Zhou, what’s wrong with that kid?” Zhou Shijie couldn’t understand Liu Tong’s words at all.
“It’s so early in the morning. If you have something to say, say it properly. Why are you only saying half of it? if you have something to say, say it quickly.” Zhou Shijie said again unhappily.
After being scolded by his master, Liu Tong also sobered up a little. After sorting out his words, he said,””Yes, master, I understand.”
“What’s done?” Zhou Shijie waved his hand and continued to ask.
Of course, Zhou Shijie couldn’t help but mumble in his heart that his disciple was also a debt he owed in his previous life.
“Master, were you the one who brought me to head chef Yuan’s treat that time?” Liu Tong didn’t want to give up so he changed the way he asked.
This time, Zhou Shijie understood what he meant. This kid had finally realized it, but he was still unwilling to admit it.
“What do you think?” Zhou Shijie asked back with a serious voice.
This time, Liu Tong was listless. He held the phone, his shoulders drooped, and said,”I know. Master Yuan asked you to take me there, right?”
“It seems that you have realized something. Not bad. You are indeed my disciple.” Zhou Shijie said with satisfaction.
“M-master.” Liu Tong opened his mouth, but he still didn’t have the courage to voice his thoughts.
Zhou Shijie really didn’t expect his apprentice to be so smart. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he understood everything with just a little bit of explanation. Of course, Liu Tong had already figured out the difference between Yuan Zhou’s crab and Zhou Shijie’s crab when they were eating.
Moreover, he was also very smart and integrated the skills he had learned from Yuan Zhou into his own cooking skills of crab.
However, he arrogantly thought that he had learned it by himself secretly. He didn’t realize that it was Yuan Zhou who was teaching him.
Moreover, he did it in such a tactful way that it would not hurt his face.
The more he thought of this fact, the redder Liu Tong’s face became. Of course, this was because he was embarrassed. He was ashamed of his own opinionated and arrogant self.
“It’s fine. The path that little Yuan is taking now is different from yours. He’s already a master, and even I can’t say that my level is above his. You’re still young and are still working hard in the direction of a master. Don’t be discouraged. ” Zhou Shijie thought that Liu Tong was disheartened, so he encouraged him gently.
“Yes.” Hearing Zhou Shijie’s words, Liu Tong felt even more ashamed.
It was because Yuan Zhou not only had the culinary skills of a master, but also the magnanimity of a master like his master.
Liu Tong finally understood everything. From the time he invited Yuan Zhou to cut the ribbon and then Yuan Zhou took the initiative to say that he would stay for the banquet, to the time when he invited his Master Zhou Shijie to have a meal and then specially brought him along.
Liu Tong understood all these purposes.
In order to ensure the credibility and craftsmanship of the chef, Yuan Zhou stayed for the meal and came to test his cooking skills. Then, he found the shortcomings of his specialty dish, which was as good as crab.
However, it wasn’t easy to point it out at the banquet. Then, through such a roundabout way, Zhou Shijie learned something and also kept his face.
After all, he was the apprentice of Zhou Shijie, the chairman of the chef’s Association. More importantly, Yuan Zhou and Zhou Shijie had a good relationship.
“How stupid am I to think that I’ve succeeded in stealing the technique, and what I’ve stolen is to make up for my own shortcomings.” Liu Tong couldn’t help covering his face and wailing.
Fortunately, Liu Tong had already hung up the phone at this time. Zhou Shijie didn’t know about this.
“I wonder if master Yuan has seen through my stupid look.” Liu Tong started to worry that Yuan Zhou would see through his snickering manner that day. After all, he still cared about his face.
With such an uneasy mood, Liu Tong was like an ant on a hot pan. He couldn’t help but turn in circles.
“No wonder the chef said that head chef Yuan not only has the culinary skills of a master, but also the cooking virtue of a master.” This was the first time Liu Tong felt that his master’s evaluation was not exaggerated at all.
“No, I have to make up for my mistake.” Liu Tong made up his mind and then began to think about it seriously.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t know what Liu Tong was thinking.
At that time, Yuan Zhou was busy steaming the steamed buns.
It was not an easy task for Yuan Zhou to provide 100 crab roe meat buns for breakfast.
Although he had eaten three and had ninety-seven left, he could still make the first twenty, but he would have to make the rest as he sold them.
Therefore, the customers who entered the restaurant saw Yuan Zhou carrying a batch of bamboo steamers and then started to wrap the steamed buns.
Fortunately, the filling of the bun had been prepared last night, and the flour had been kneaded after the morning exercise.
Now, the entire dough had been divided into small doses of the same size and placed on the long glass table.
The customers could clearly see Yuan Zhou pinching the skin of the steamed bun that had been rolled out and scooping out a large spoon of stuffing into the steamed bun with the other hand.
“Gulp.” The obvious sound of saliva being swallowed came from Wu Hai who had just finished eating and was licking his fingernails.
“I’m so hungry,” Wu Hai couldn’t help saying while staring at Yuan Zhou’s actions of making the steamed buns.
“That’s true. I feel it’s super delicious just by looking at boss Yuan’s dumplings. ” MA Zhida couldn’t help but ask.
“You haven’t eaten yet, but you can try it. If not, I can help too.” Wu Hai turned his head and stared at the steamed buns on the table of MA Zhida with a burning gaze.
“No, no need.” MA Zhida immediately jumped ten meters away to protect his steamed buns.
“I’m not going to snatch it. ” Looking at MA Zhida’s careful manner, Wu Hai said with contempt.
“Hehe.” MA Zhida replied with a ‘hehe’ and then lowered his head to eat the steamed bun.
The two’s fun didn’t disturb ruan Xiaoqing, who was beside them. One reason was that both of them knew their limits, and the other was that ruan Xiaoqing was immersed in the delicious bun.
Not caring about the heat, ruan Xiaoqing reached out her fair hands to pick up the bun as soon as it was served. The snow-white skin of the bun rubbed against ruan Xiaoqing’s fair fingers, and both looked very good to lick.
Then, ruan Xiaoqing directly opened her mouth and took a bite.
The soft skin of the bun instantly filled his mouth. Before the fragrance of the wheat entered his mouth, the stuffing that he bit into burst out with a hot soup.
“Hiss, hiss, it’s so hot.” Ruan Xiaoqing mumbled that it was hot, but she didn’t let go and took a bite of the bun.
The soft bun skin wrapped with a small piece of filling was directly chewed into ruan Xiaoqing’s mouth, mixed with the soup that had just flowed out.
The steamed buns were hot and fragrant, and they were filled with the sun-like fragrance of wheat. Eating such a bun would immediately make one’s mood better.
This was how ruan Xiaoqing felt right now.
