Chapter 1533: Master Cheng’s assessment questions

Translator: 549690339
“Okay, master.” Master Cheng answered immediately. Then, he opened the door of the Sergestes wall landscape and stood at the side of the door, waiting for Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou had long been accustomed to master Cheng’s respect, so he walked into the restaurant naturally. Only after that did master Cheng follow him to the backyard.

Very soon, the two of them came to the stone table in the backyard. It was the same. Master Cheng sat down only after Yuan Zhou had sat down.

His back was straight, and his fat belly was protruding, but he looked very energetic.

“Let’s ask you the questions you’ve accumulated recently, then we’ll talk about the rest.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Yes, master,” Hearing that, master Cheng immediately took out a palm-sized notebook from his pocket and opened it carefully, preparing to ask some questions.

“Recently, I’ve been preparing to restart the business of boiled cabbage in my shop, but I’ve encountered a problem. How can I guarantee the freshness of the cabbage? after all, the choice of cabbage is the most important thing besides the soup base.” Master Cheng took the notebook and read his question word by word seriously.

“Fresh. In the Sichuan dialect, it’s also called fresh. This means that the most important thing about this dish is to be alive. Do you understand?” Yuan Zhou said.

“You mean to buy the ones that have just been picked?” Master Cheng asked.

“Be careful when choosing the place of origin.” Yuan Zhou continued,”this vegetable likes to grow in a cold environment. It’s best to sow it in late November and germinate it by covering it with plastic film until the end of February of the next year. Such vegetables will taste fresher and sweeter after a winter.”

…

“Well, it seems that I won’t be able to put it on the menu this year.” Master Cheng nodded his head and recorded while talking to Yuan Zhou.

“We eat whatever season it is, but the earth is round. Just because it’s not the right season here doesn’t mean it’s the same in other places.” “You can choose the one in other regions to practice first and then release it next year,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Okay, master.” Master Cheng nodded.

“Well, that’s a small problem. Next time, you have to record the growth time of each ingredient yourself.” Yuan Zhou said strictly.

“Yes, Master.” Master Cheng nodded his head immediately.

“Continue.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Also, about the taste of aged skin …” Master Cheng continued to talk about the taste.

The master and disciple discussed this question for a long time again. Of course, Yuan Zhou talked more while master Cheng took notes seriously and then asked from time to time.

Yuan Zhou appeared to be a dozen years younger than master Cheng. However, master Cheng was still very respectful to Yuan Zhou. Such a scene was not out of place at all, because Yuan Zhou was now exuding a confident and calm manner of a Grandmaster.

Half an hour passed very quickly. The questions that master Cheng had accumulated had also come to an end. Master Cheng quickly helped Yuan Zhou fill the cup with hot tea. Only after Yuan Zhou drank it did he quickly drink a mouthful of water.

Yuan Zhou sipped a mouthful of tea to relieve his dry lips and tongue. Then, he said again,””Zhao Mei, what do you think of your current cooking skills?”

“Ah?” Master Cheng was stunned at first and then said,””Before I met master, I thought that my cooking skills were pretty good. But after meeting master, I realized that I was a frog at the bottom of a well. I’m still far from it.”

Master Cheng was quite sincere when he said that. He wasn’t complimenting Yuan Zhou, but he truly believed so.

“What about now?” Yuan Zhou said.

“Now I think I can defeat the me before I became my disciple.” Master Cheng said seriously.

“Not bad.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head contentedly.

“Now, I’ll give you the topic for your apprenticeship.” Yuan Zhou didn’t wait for master Cheng to be modest and directly said.

As soon as he said that, master Cheng straightened his back unconsciously and looked at Yuan Zhou seriously, waiting for him to speak.

“Twice-cooked pork. Make a dish that I’m satisfied with,” Yuan Zhou said.

“To your satisfaction?” Master Cheng didn’t think that this seemingly simple question was very simple. Instead, he asked with emphasis.

“Cheng Cheng told me that you wanted to learn 70% of my cooking skills before you could graduate.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Hehe, I’m setting a big goal so that I can work hard towards it.” Master Cheng touched his head and said honestly.

“I’m now proficient in Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Jinling cuisine, Guizhou cuisine, Yunnan cuisine, steak, and some other dishes,” Yuan Zhou reported several cuisines that he was proficient in slowly. Before he finished, he continued, “I’m currently learning about Shandong cuisine and Jiangsu cuisine. ”

“…” Master Cheng suddenly felt that he was so stupid for making such a promise. He also felt that he had lived for more than forty years only because of broth.

“Don’t think too much. You’re good at Sichuan cuisine, and I think your Sichuan cuisine is already 70% as good as mine. ” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.

“Many thanks, master.” Master Cheng said with a complicated mood.

“I’m telling the truth. ” Yuan Zhou said,”a person’s energy is limited. Your current Sichuan cuisine is not any worse than Chairman Zhang Yan ‘s. Don’t be discouraged.”

“…Okay, master.” Master Cheng nodded his head. Although he was speechless, he felt warm inside.

That was because master Cheng knew that Yuan Zhou was just comforting him, although the words of comfort sounded a little weird.

“In three days, I need to eat your highest level of twice-cooked pork. At that time, I will invite Chairman Zhou and Chairman Zhang to taste it together. Can you do it?” Yuan Zhou asked solemnly.

“Yes, Master.” Master Cheng answered in a deep voice.

“Yes, three days from now at threeo’ clock in the afternoon. It’s still here.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Yes, Master.” Master Cheng answered immediately.

However, after answering, master Cheng became hesitant and didn’t dare to ask.

However, Yuan Zhou just took a look at him indifferently and said,””What’s the problem?”

“It’s like this, master. I know that you’re going to hold a cooking exhibition in a week. Will I hold you up?” Master Cheng said with worry and hesitation.

Yuan Zhou felt warm in his heart and said with a mild expression,””No, teaching others is also an opportunity to improve your own cooking skills.”

“Master, I will work hard.” Only then did master Cheng feel relieved. He clenched his fist and promised earnestly.

“It’s getting late, you should go back. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and started to drive him away without saying anything.

“I’ll stay and help. I haven’t helped master in a long time. Let Cheng Cheng go back by himself today. I’ll stay.” Master Cheng said with an innocent smile.

Yuan Zhou glanced at master Cheng, who had shrunk his neck and revealed an apprehensive look. Instantly, he thought of the meaty body of fatty and immediately turned around and answered,””Yes.”

“Thank you, master. I’ll go and wipe the table.” Master Cheng immediately agreed happily and ran straight to the restaurant.

As soon as master Cheng left, Yuan Zhou didn’t get up immediately. Instead, he started to think carefully.

“The desserts in the cooking exhibition are mainly Jiangsu and Cantonese desserts, and the dishes will be the representative dishes of each cuisine. This should be enough.” Thinking about his own cooking skills, Yuan Zhou prepared to use this one week to practice with a purpose.

“I’m really looking forward to my first personal cooking exhibition in a week. ” Yuan Zhou got a little excited in his heart.
