London United Kingdom.
London was also known as the fog City. If an Englishman was taught to speak Sichuanese, he would be asked to say, Liedu was wudu.
It was inexplicably funny.
Lunch had just ended, and it wasn’t time for afternoon tea yet. Bauer, the Executive Head Chef of Pursue dreams, a Michelin three star restaurant, did a final inspection of the kitchen. After confirming that there were no problems, he finally had some time to himself.
Pursue dreams was not translated into Chinese because it was called “chasing dreams” in Chinese. Whenever he thought of Mr. Wang, he would lose his cool.
In fact, Bauer was not particularly busy, but he was very serious about cooking. He believed that anything could be done to the best of his ability, as long as he had enough patience.
Bauer did not only have such expectations for himself, but also for his group of chefs.
The 55-year-old Bauer had already gained a firm foothold in “dream chasing.” He had also formed his own set of procedures. In addition to preparing for the chef’s recommendation on that day, he would patrol the kitchen three times before the opening of the restaurant, in the middle of the day, and after the opening hours of the meal.
Although it was a little troublesome, if you asked Yuan Zhou if it was necessary, he would answer that it was very necessary. In this way, accidents in the kitchen could be avoided to the greatest extent.
“Phew …”
Bauer was sitting in his lounge. He took a sip of coffee and closed his eyes to rest. It was only at this time that he would relax a little.
“Oh, I think Kaman said he has a video for me to watch. I wonder what it is?” Bao er muttered.
The process of them getting to know each other was also a legend.
Kaman liked to eat and find delicious food. Bauer’s food was very delicious, especially the Wellington beef that Kaman could never get tired of. After a while, the two of them hooked up, or rather, got to know each other, and their friendship naturally formed.
“Let’s just take a look. ” Bauer opened his eyes and took out his phone to play the video Kaman had sent him.
The video started off with a huge painting. There were many life-like people drawn on it. Each of them was in a thousand different forms and looked very realistic.
Indeed, Kaman was the collector who had lost the bid.
“This is a Chinese style. It seems to be from some work, right? Three Kingdoms? That’s right, the Three Kingdoms. ” Bauer was actually half a Huaxia fan, so he knew a lot about Huaxia.
Of course, Bauer had not been to China before. The main reason was that he was busy studying cooking, so he did not know much about Chinese knowledge.
It was similar to those people who really liked Chinese zongzi and when they finally ate the zongzi, they would immediately bite the zongzi leaves and complain that they had been deceived because the zongzi was too unpalatable.
After the painting, it was the carving.
“This is a sculpture? This carving technique is so good that even Kaman’s collection doesn’t have many of these. This sculptor named Yuan is really skilled. ” Bauer was immediately interested when he saw the sculptures in the video.
As a master chef, no matter what dish he was good at, basic cutting skills were still necessary, and Bauer’s cutting skills were considered outstanding.
“Although a chef’s cutting technique is different from a sculptor ‘s, and there is nothing in common between them, it’s good to see it.” It was normal for Bauer to think this way. In the video that Kaman recorded, there was only painting and sculpting. Wu Hai and Yuan Zhou’s names were not mentioned at all.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. He received a call.
“Aren’t you participating in an auction in Italy? Call me when you’re free. ” Bauer looked at the caller ID and picked up the phone.
“I’m back. Did you see the video I sent you?” Kaman’s voice was heard from the other end of the line.
“I’ve seen it. The paintings and carvings are very good. It must be the Three Kingdoms of China. It looks exotic. As expected of the mysterious ancient Eastern country.” Bauer was very straightforward.
“I think it’s called not the Three Kingdoms, it’s Shui something.” Kaman could only remember the word ‘water’.
“It must be the Three Kingdoms. You don’t know much about Chinese culture, but I do.” Bauer was certain.
“Oh, that should be it.” Kaman did not doubt his friend’s confidence, thinking that he might have remembered it wrong.””Don’t mind the details. What do you think of the sculpture itself?”
“It’s very delicate. It’s obvious that it’s not a mechanical carving because it’s too cold. The lines can’t be so soft. I didn’t see any decent carvings when I visited your collection before.”
Kaman commented,”you were lamenting that there were no outstanding sculptors in the 21st century, but now one has appeared.” It’s a pity that there’s nothing in common between carving and cooking, otherwise it would be very good to communicate. ”
Kaman felt that it would not be good to ask directly, so he chose a roundabout way.
“Then, did you notice anything different about this sculpture?”
“What do you mean?” Bauer began to watch the video carefully and came to a conclusion.””Looking at the marks, it doesn’t seem to be carved with a professional carving knife. It seems that this carving master has many quirks.”
“As far as I know, reliable information says that this work of art was completed by China’s top Chef, Yuan, and the tool used was a horizontal knife.”
Kaman liked these two works of art very much. Not to mention Wu Hai, he basically knew everyone in the painting world. However, there was little information about Yuan Zhou. Therefore, Kaman checked it out.
In the United Kingdom gastronomic industry, of course, there were very few Masters of local cuisines. After all, they were known as one of the three countries of dark cuisines. And Yuan Zhou wasn’t very famous in the UK either. Therefore, Kaman only called his good friend Bauer after he had investigated clearly.
A horizontal knife in United Kingdom was also a vegetable knife.
“What?”
“What did you just say?”
“Kaman, what did you just say?”
Bauer asked three questions in a row, and his tone of doubt continued to rise.
Kaman repeated his words.
Bauer fell silent and continued to watch the video. He watched it two or three times.
“I just wanted to ask,” Kaman continued.”Are the requirements for chefs nowadays so high that even their cutting skills have to be at this level?”
If Kaman had clairvoyance, he would have been able to see the expression on Bauer’s face. Are you F * cking kidding me?
Yuan Zhou didn’t know that someone was advertising for him for free, but he was in a good mood today.
The customers had also discovered that the corners of Yuan Zhou’s mouth curved up a little more than usual after the careful Wang Hong concluded his experience.
After thinking about it, everyone thought that it was because of the sculptures and paintings that had been sold for sky-high prices in the past two days.
The customers were wrong about that. Yuan Zhou was in a good mood because he had received a message from Yin ya when he got up early that she was coming back from her business trip.
He hadn’t seen Yin ya for almost a week. One day apart felt like three autumns.
One week was 21 years. Besides, Yin ya arrived at Chengdu at 3:00 pm in the afternoon. She would go to the company tomorrow for work. Therefore, she was free after that.
Since the morning, Yuan Zhou had been secretly planning to let Mao Ye take care of the pub alone tonight whenever he was free. He planned to take Yin ya out for a walk. As for the places, he had already listed more than 10 places, but he hadn’t decided which one to go to yet.
