Chapter 1535: Affecting the market from the taste

Translator: 549690339
Although master Cheng successfully stayed to help and didn’t leave until Yuan Zhou drove him away, he didn’t have the carefreeness and simplicity that he had in the restaurant.

It was just 8:30 in the evening. At this time, master Cheng hadn’t had his dinner yet. However, he didn’t care about this matter at all. Instead, he directly started to make a phone call.

“Old Sun, I’m going to take a look at your farm. Go to the factory and wait for me.” Master Cheng said directly.

No one knew what the person on the other end of the phone said, but it was obvious that he had agreed to it directly. That was because master Cheng put away the phone and walked directly to the garage.

Obviously, master Cheng was going to search for the ingredients overnight. Of course, he still called his wife on the way back and told her that he would be back late today.

The whole process of looking for suitable ingredients and master Cheng cooking by himself was only given three days by Yuan Zhou. Therefore, master Cheng was very busy during these three days. He was either in the kitchen or out looking for ingredients.

That’s right, out of seriousness for the assessment, master Cheng had personally found the ingredients this time. He didn’t ask anyone else to do it.

Very soon, three days had passed. At 2:30 in the afternoon, Zhang Yan, Zhou Shijie, and Lee Yanyi came together.

That’s right. Lee Yanyi was one of them. This matter was personally invited by master Cheng. Of course, he had also asked for Yuan Zhou’s consent before that.

The reason master Cheng gave was that Lee Yanyi was a great food critic and also highly respected Yuan Zhou. With him around, he would be able to know the gap between him and his master Yuan Zhou more clearly.

…

There was a saying in the restaurant,”Lee Yanyi is the one who knows Yuan Zhou’s cooking best. The one who knows Yuan Zhou’s cooking better than Lee Yanyi is Wu Hai.”

“Use the most harmonious and even more at the same time”? this sentence was a little faulty, but it wasn’t a big problem. It successfully showed that Lee Yanyi had studied Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills very deeply.

Yuan Zhou agreed to master Cheng’s arrangement.

After receiving the invitation, Lee Yanyi rarely made a personal judgment, or rather, it was his first time making a personal judgment. When he heard that Yuan Zhou was going to judge master Cheng, Yuan Zhou’s apprentice, he agreed without any hesitation.

“Little Yuan, you seem to be in good spirits.” Zhou Shijie said first.

“Thank you for coming, uncle Zhou, Chairman Zhang, and Mr. Li.” Yuan Zhou first nodded his head in response to Zhou Shijie and then said courteously.

“You’re welcome. This is a good thing. We’re also taking the opportunity to have a free meal.” Lee Yanyi said frankly.

“Exactly, and we don’t even need to line up.” Zhang Ye also said with a smile.

“Alright, don’t block little Yuan’s door. Let’s go in and talk.” Zhou Shijie said immediately after everyone finished their small talk.

“It’s indeed time to go in. We forgot. ” Lee Yanyi nodded.

“I was just about to go in, you old man really know how to interrupt.” Zhang Yan would always be at odds with Zhou Shijie, and it was even worse in private.

Fortunately, although Zhang Yan might argue with Yuan Zhou at any time, he still gave Yuan Zhou face by following him in.

Following Yuan Zhou into the Sergestes wall landscape, Yuan Zhou didn’t lead them to the back courtyard this time, but directly to the front courtyard.

There was a standard stove with a complete set of pots and various seasonings on it. Apparently, it was prepared for master Cheng.

Behind the stove was a solid wood square table that was just enough for four people to sit.

Among the four people present, three of them were top-notch master chefs. Moreover, Yuan Zhou was already a master chef. Even Lee Yanyi, the only one who didn’t know how to cook, was a food critic. When he saw Yuan Zhou preparing the stove, he nodded and said,””Little Yuan, you’re so considerate.”

“Indeed. I remember this stove is the one Cheng zhaomei used to use.” Zhang Ye said.

“Good tools, good ingredients, and good craftsmanship can bring out the best.” Yuan Zhou didn’t admit that he favored master Cheng at all and said primly.

“That’s true. Delicacies naturally need beautiful instruments to bring out the best taste. The color in color, fragrance, taste, meaning, and shape doesn’t just refer to the color of the food, but also the compatibility with the tableware.” Lee Yanyi said.

“Indeed. Even if it’s a white plate, it has to be cleaned and polished, as white as new. Otherwise, who would want to eat it if it’s yellow even though it looks clean?” Zhang Ji said indifferently.

“It’s best if it’s suitable. There’s no need to set difficult problems for yourself.” Zhou Shijie said in conclusion. Then, he turned his head, looked at Yuan Zhou and asked,””Where’s this sister Cheng Zhao?”

“I asked him to prepare the ingredients.” Yuan Zhou said.

“That’s fine. Let’s see how much Cheng zhaomei has learned from little Yuan.” Zhou Shijie sat down first and then said.

They nodded and sat down one by one. At this time, master Cheng had just come over with a bamboo basket. Obviously, the basket contained the ingredients that master Cheng had prepared.

Master Cheng first put the basket in his hand on the cooking table at the side and then came forward to greet him after wiping his hands.

“Master, Chairman Zhou, Chairman Zhang, and Mr. Li, good afternoon.” Master Cheng said.

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Alright, your master doesn’t like to be polite, so you don’t have to say anything. Let’s just start.” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

“We’re just here to see if you’ve been seriously learning from little Yuan. You should know how many people want this opportunity. ” Zhang Ye said.

“According to the online reviews, if you score 0.7 Yuan, I’ll consider it a pass.” Obviously, Lee Yanyi paid a lot of attention to Yuan Zhou. He even mentioned the unit name.

“Do it well.” Yuan Zhou said at last.

“Yes, master, I will.” Master Cheng took a deep breath and then nodded his head. Then, he turned around and went to the kitchen range with a serious expression. As Yuan Zhou’s first disciple, he couldn’t lose face for his master.

Master Cheng walked to the stove and then opened the bamboo basket, which contained the ingredients for the twice-cooked pork today.

This time’s stir-fried pork was naturally not as high-end as boiled cabbage in Sichuan cuisine, but it was a home-cooked dish that every family could not do without.

According to a saying in a program, a master’s dish had the taste of home-cooked food. This time, the twice-cooked pork was the time to test the taste of home-cooked food.

“The pork used for recruiting girls is the improved Hua pig.” Yuan Zhou suddenly said.

“It’s indeed a Chenghua pig. Although it’s an improved version, I think it’ll taste good.” Zhang Ye nodded.

“This Chenghua pig is already extinct. It must have taken a lot of effort to find an improved one.” Zhou Shijie was the chairman of the chef’s Association. Naturally, he knew about the situation where some ingredients went extinct.

“I only care about the taste.” Lee Yanyi didn’t make this judgment, but said.

“You don’t understand. If the Chenghua pigs go extinct, I’m afraid we won’t be able to eat our authentic twice-cooked pork in the future.” As the chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association, Zhang Yan naturally knew the importance of the Chenghua pig to Sichuan cuisine.

“There’s little Yuan. I’ll eat his food. ” Lee Yanyi said.

“No, I can still eat his cooking in the future.” Yuan Zhou pointed at master Cheng who was slicing the pork and said.

“That’s true. With little Yuan and master Cheng’s teaching, the Chenghua pigs will probably never go extinct.” Zhang Ji immediately reacted and nodded.

Indeed, if there were a large number of chefs who needed Chenghua pigs to make twice-cooked pork, then there would naturally be more people raising Chenghua pigs. If there were more, then it would naturally not be considered extinct.

This was the relationship between supply and demand. The most important thing was that the twice-cooked pork cooked by Yuan Zhou was fat but not greasy, fragrant, spicy and refreshing, and it went well with the rice. This was the reason why the twice-cooked pork was favored by customers again.

The restaurant had prepared this dish because the customers suddenly liked to eat twice-cooked pork and ordered more frequently. However, in order to satisfy the appetites of the customers who had been spoiled by Yuan Zhou and master Cheng, the only way to do so was to get close to them in terms of the ingredients. Chenghua pig was the best Breakthrough point.

When Zhang Ye heard Yuan Zhou’s words, he instantly understood all these in his mind and couldn’t help but admire Yuan Zhou even more.

That’s right. It was admiration. After all, it was all because of the influence of Yuan Zhou alone.
