Chapter 2112: The three Yuan Chui are about to gather

Moliere and Dean didn’t make an appointment, but one came to master chef Restaurant before lunch, and the other came after lunch.
The two of them lived under the same roof, so they had seen each other quite often. However, recently, both of them had been very elusive. In the end, it was all because Dean’s birthday was coming up, and the all-fish banquet was getting closer. Dean had been avoiding Moliere all the time.
To put it bluntly, those with the surname di had dirty thoughts, such as Dean and dimiugus.
When Dean arrived at the restaurant, Yuan Zhou was pondering about how to make the monkey wine.
“Good afternoon, head chef Yuan.” Dean walked in with an exquisite lunchbox.
“Good afternoon, Dean. What’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou was quite familiar with Dean, especially during the recent period of time when he had dealt with him more often due to the matter of the sweet and sour carp.
“I made a sweet and sour carp. I would like to ask head chef Yuan to help me evaluate it?” Dean said, a little embarra.s.sed.
After all, he had to go to’ days to look forward to’ to promote this dish and head chef Yuan’s cooking skills. It was fine if he lost face, but he couldn’t lose face for head chef Yuan.
“You’ve done it?” Yuan Zhou took a look at the food box and guessed that it should be in the box.
“Yes. Head chef Yuan, please take a look.” Dean said as he placed the lunchbox on the table.
Then, he slowly opened it to reveal the contents inside. It was an oval plate with a fish on it, which looked like a sweet and sour carp. There was some thick sauce around the fish, which gave off a fragrant smell.
The fish itself wasn’t very upturned, and basically, the head and tail had left the plate. However, it was quite good for a yellow croaker to have such a state.
It was a sweet and sour yellow croaker made from yellow croaker.
“Is this a yellow croaker?” Yuan Zhou could tell the species of the fish at first glance.
He had already sensed that something was amiss when he faintly smelled it. It was the smell of salt.w.a.ter fish. However, Dean kept saying that it was sweet and sour carp, so he was not sure. Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he finally confirmed it. He was afraid that Dean had not misunderstood carp.
“It’s yellow croaker. I had always used carp to practice cooking, but after practicing for a long time, it still didn’t stand up. Even after watching head chef Yuan’s cooking method for a long time, I still didn’t succeed. Thus, I found another way and looked for other fish. I realized that yellow croaker was better shaped, so I made this sweet and spicy yellow croaker based on head chef Yuan’s sweet and sour carp. I hope head chef yuan can give me some suggestions.” Dean said carefully.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and took the chopsticks handed over by Dean. He picked up a piece of the fish from the belly. It should have only been slightly greased. As he exerted some force with the chopsticks, the garlic-shaped fish fell out of the chopsticks.
After being stained with the dark sauce, the originally slightly brown fish instantly looked more attractive.”You used some spices that your French cuisine uses to enhance the taste, such as anchovy and vanilla. Very creative. You probably added them when you marinated the fish, right?”
Before Yuan Zhou put the fish into his mouth, he had already smelled the spices that were different from the Chinese cooking methods. It must have been Dean who added them in an innovative way.
This time, considering that the yellow croaker had a strong texture of salt.w.a.ter fish, he only dripped a few drops of the juice of the devil’s ivy when marinating the yellow croaker. He didn’t even use the herbs directly, but instead added them into the oil used to fry the fish. If Dean hadn’t made this dish himself, he wouldn’t have been so accurate.
Although it was very disrespectful to say that, Dean felt that Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills were too high and his nose was too sharp. Even a dog’s nose couldn’t possibly be so sensitive.
“I used some.” Dean felt that he could not say anything else other than an answer.
He stuffed the fish meat into his mouth, and the fish juice immediately spread in his mouth. Then, he tasted the sweet and spicy taste of the sauce. It must be the sweet and spicy taste. There was a little spiciness in the sweetness, and the spiciness had melted away a lot. It was no longer sharp, and it was like a beauty whose edges had been worn away by time, becoming transparent and beautiful.
Then, the fresh and tender fish meat spread in his mouth with a little bit of charred smell, which was a very novel taste experience.
“I’ve never had such a taste before. It’s very novel. If I can soak the yellow croaker in the water of Sage before marinating it, I think it will be a different feeling.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said.
“The tail gra.s.s is in the water?” Dean mumbled as he pondered. Then, his eyes lit up, and it was clear that he had thought of something.”Thank you for your advice, head chef Yuan.”
“It’s just a mutual exchange. Your spice ratios are very appropriate.” Yuan Zhou said.
“I’m still very grateful. Head chef Yuan, I brought a book on French food spices from China. I wonder if you would like to read it?” Dean suddenly recalled that he had seen Yuan Zhou reading all kinds of books when he came here several times, so he tried to ask him.
Yuan Zhou, who had been preparing for the bogus cooking compet.i.tion for a long time, had his eyes lit up when he heard Dean’s words.
“Thank you, Dean,” Yuan Zhou expressed his grat.i.tude.
I should be the one thanking head chef Yuan.” Dean paused for a moment before he remembered the main purpose of their visit.”Head chef Yuan, this dish of mine is derived from your sweet and sour carp. In the future, I’m going to partic.i.p.ate in a program that requires me to present this dish. I wonder if that’s possible?”
That’s right, Dean was actually here to say h.e.l.lo. He had to let the owner know that he had learned from other people’s dishes and was going out to show them.
“This is your own creation, it has nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you want.” Yuan Zhou didn’t really care.
“Thank you, head chef Yuan. I will send the books over in the afternoon.” Dean hid his grat.i.tude in his heart and planned to express it with his actions in the future.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head to show his agreement.
Knowing that Yuan Zhou’s time was precious, Dean hurriedly took his leave after he finished his business and left the master chef Restaurant.
In fact, Dean was not the only one who was busy preparing for the show. There were also people in other countries who were preparing for it.
“Big stone Lord, how long will it take you to go to China this time?” Tengyuan Jiayuan asked.
Das.h.i.+ xiujie sat upright at the table. When he heard tengyuan’s words, he immediately straightened his back even more subconsciously and said,””I’ll be here for about a month. Not only do I have to partic.i.p.ate in a program, but most importantly, I’d like to ask the chef to give comments on a few new dishes I’ve made. ”
Whether it was intentional or not, when big stone said the word “master,” he deliberately emphasized his tone and tone. He could not hide his pride.
Becoming a Grandmaster’s disciple, even if it was just an in-name disciple, was something that thousands of people dreamed of. Thinking back to the time when he had just returned to j.a.pan after the apprentices.h.i.+p ceremony, he had received extremely high respect.
Previously, Fujiwara Jiayuan was also very optimistic about das.h.i.+ xiujie. After all, das.h.i.+ xiujie was the number one man in j.a.pan.
“Are you going to invite head chef Yuan to taste it?” While speaking, Fujiwara’s eyes lit up.
Speaking of which, he hadn’t eaten Yuan Zhou’s dishes for a long time. When he thought of that, he couldn’t help drooling.
“I’ll go with you. As the number one person of our country and the disciple of a Grandmaster, you can’t be rude. You must work harder and not let head chef Yuan down. I’m going to China to discuss some matters with Chairman Zhou. It’s good that we’re going together.” Fujiwara said.
