Therefore, imperial chef GE, imperial chef mo, and the other chefs thought that Yuan Zhou must have studied the Manchu Han Imperial Feast very well.
As one of the top ten banquets in China, all famous chefs would more or less study it. Of course, even so, it was still very difficult to understand.
As imperial chef GE and the others had also studied it, they heard Yuan Zhou’s answer when everyone was thinking about it.
“I only know a little, but I have never studied the Manchu Han Imperial Feast.” Yuan Zhou said honestly. Currently, the only delicacies of the banquet that he was in control of were the vegetarian banquet and the all-fish banquet.
“This …”
At first, head chef Wang of Zhejiang cuisine wanted to ask why he knew so much about it, but before he could ask, he felt that his question was stupid.
Why could he? it must be because he had a good understanding of the ingredients and the cooking of food.
He meant that he had to reach the same level as Mr. MA, imperial chef GE, and the others. Even … Head chef Wang did not continue to think about it.
After all, the four Royal Chef families had their own heritage and decades of accumulation. It was already an abnormal monster to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder.
“No wonder hang Tian is always fighting with people, saying that head chef Yuan is the representative of Jiangsu cuisine.” As the Vice President of the Zhejiang cuisine Association, head chef Wang felt that Yuan Zhou could also represent Zhejiang cuisine.
“I’m starting to understand why you brought head chef Yuan here.” Imperial chef GE suddenly said.
“Yes, old goat should thank you,” said imperial chef mo with a nod.
The knife-sealing banquet continued, and the last dish was carefully selected by head chef yang. The dessert smiled.
Chinese people liked to win praise, whether it was during cooking or during festivals. As the last dessert of the knife-sealing banquet, head chef yang also wanted to win praise.
Head chef Yang’s opening smile was naturally different from the rest. On top of it were black and white sesame seeds criss-crossed, and in the middle, there was a crooked crack. It looked very much like a smiling mouth, and it was very interesting.
It was golden in color, and the layer of color inside was slightly lighter, as if it was a little tender. It was delicious just by looking at it, not to mention the intoxicating fragrance. It was crisp and sweet, and everyone was eating very happily.
At this point, the saber-sealing banquet had come to a successful end.
“Are you satisfied with the food?” Head chef yang sat with everyone and drank tea for a while before coming out.
He had already changed his clothes. He was wearing a Tang suit, which looked good, probably because of his height.
The reason for the delay was that head chef yang had been wearing a chef’s uniform from the very beginning. Different from ordinary chef’s uniforms, the style and embroidery were all custom-made. Perhaps it was an imperial chef’s uniform, or perhaps it was a special meaning of the Yang family. Yuan Zhou didn’t ask about that.
After the knife-sealing banquet ended, he would no longer wear his chef’s uniform and would no longer hold a knife. Therefore, head chef yang folded his chef’s uniform neatly and placed the knife into the box. He stared at it for a long time before he regained his senses.
It still took a lot of courage to put aside her studies and work for most of her life.
“Old man yang, it’s a pity that you have such skills.” Mr. MA was the first to speak.
“I say, old goat, why don’t you persist for a few more years?” “His cooking skills haven’t deteriorated at all,” said Ge Yu.”On the contrary, he’s making steady progress.”
“If it’s over, it’s over. I’m already content that my cooking skills have accompanied me until now. I can’t force it.” At that moment, head chef yang appeared to be quite open-minded.
Mr. MA and the others let out a sigh and didn’t say anything else. It was too late to say anything now. The rice had been cooked, and the wood had been made into a boat.
“I’m not young anymore. It’s time for me to enjoy my life. My saber-sealing banquet will be held soon. You guys can come too.” Royal Chef mo seemed to have thought it through.
“Eh? You’re doing this too?” Imperial chef GE did not expect there to be an invisible bomb.
“That’s right, but it’ll probably take a year or two to prepare. ” Imperial chef mo nodded.
“I’m getting old and my hand speed can’t keep up. It’s better not to touch the knife. ” Head chef Yang’s happy expression slowly faded.
“This is the logic.” Imperial chef mo nodded in agreement.
Mr. MA was deeply touched by these words. For example, when Yuan Zhou first met Mr. MA, he only wanted to see the Wu chicken, but he didn’t get what he wanted in the end.
It was not because of anything else, but because Mr. MA was old and weak, and his physical strength couldn’t keep up. The taste he made was no longer the same as before. In order not to ruin this dish, he didn’t cook it himself.
However, he still passed the recipe to Yuan Zhou, who had already thoroughly studied the Wu chicken.
The words of head chef yang and imperial chef Mo made all the head chefs present feel sorry for them. The average age was above 65 years old. They were indeed not young anymore.
“I’m not convinced. I think even if I can’t hold a knife, I can still do something else. ”
Mr. MA broke the sorrowful atmosphere with his words. At his age, he refused to admit defeat. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have agreed to let Yuan Zhou join the China famous chef Alliance.
“Yes, I think I’m okay.” Imperial chef GE supported Mr. MA.
The next topic revolved around the age, so Yuan Zhou couldn’t really get into the conversation.
During the conversation, head chef yang thought of something important, so he asked proudly,””Sand boat stepping on green, I’ve made a small improvement. Old Ma, old Mo, do you guys know the reason?”
“It doesn’t matter if you can’t taste it. After all, I’ve put in a lot of thought.” Said head chef yang.
To be fair, if Yuan Zhou wasn’t here, head chef yang wouldn’t have been so proud.
But now … The atmosphere was a little awkward. Looking at the smile on head chef Yang’s face, it was not a good time to expose him.
“Eh? Old Ma, did you see through it?” Head chef yang understood his old friend. Normally, this was the time to ask.
However, looking at the expressions of Royal Chef mo and the others, head chef yang was not stupid. He immediately came to his senses and said the most likely situation.
“Not bad, old Ma. Your eyes are getting more and more sharp.” Said head chef yang.
“That’s true, I’ve always had good eyes. ” Mr. MA was very proud in the first sentence, but before head chef yang could say anything, he heard the second sentence.
He said,”do you think the little Yuan introduced by me is just famous?” With your sand boat stepping on Emerald, little Yuan could taste it with just two chopsticks. ”
When Mr. MA said this, he even made a “two” gesture with his hand, emphasizing two chopsticks.
“What?” Head chef yang looked at the calm young chef in front of him. His knife-sealing banquet was really full of surprises.
“Every generation has its own talents. Our cooking altar is also full of talents.” Said head chef yang.
“By adding pigeons into the chicken soup, head chef Yang’s ingenious idea is truly impressive.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Thank you very much, head chef Yuan, for attending this old man’s knife-sealing banquet,” head chef yang said.
“It’s because of today’s saber sealing banquet that I’ve benefited a lot,”said Yuan Zhou.
“Old man yang, you should thank me for coming to the saber-sealing banquet.” Mr. MA showed an expression of “it was all my introduction and my credit.”
“You’re not the one who judged it. ” “What are you so proud of?” head chef yang rolled his eyes.
“If I didn’t come, would you have known little Yuan?” “I’m squatting at home all day long. Everything is changing every day outside, so the cooking must keep up with the trend,”Mr. MA said.
He was right, but head chef yang would never say thank you to Mr. MA. After all, they had been friends for so many years. Besides, Mr. MA was just saying it. He couldn’t take it seriously.
