Chapter 1684: What a pity

Translator: 549690339
The dish Yuan Zhou started to cook was boiled fish with pickled vegetables. Because of the ingredients, Kosen recognized it at first glance.

Coincidentally, there was also a pickled fish in Sichuan cuisine, and the difference between the two dishes was only one word. No one knew if Yuan Zhou did it on purpose.

However, what was interesting was that the ingredients required for the two dishes were very different. Boiled fish with pickled vegetables was a ethnic cuisine of Guizhou cuisine. It used pickled cabbage, while the fish was carp. The final dish was mainly sour and salty.

The pickled fish was also known as the sour fish soup. It was the representative of the Jianghu cuisines of Mountain City. The fish used were mainly grass carp, and the pickled vegetables were soaked in green vegetables, which tasted sour and spicy.

It could be seen that the core factor that caused the difference between the two dishes was the pickled vegetables. Kosen was naturally very familiar with the boiled fish with pickled vegetables, but the problem was that there was not much room for manipulation of this dish.

Although Guizhou cuisine did not focus on skill and delicacy, there were also dishes that tested the chef’s skills because of its tolerance. For example, there were dishes that tested the chef’s skills such as stir-fried red chili with green chili and strange Lu vegetables with precise ingredients, and the clear broth goose that tested the heat control.

Of course, Kosen didn’t doubt Yuan Zhou’s choice at all. It was too dangerous to doubt Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills. Kosen was a person who looked safe. Naturally, he wouldn’t think so in his heart.

Under Kosen’s attentive gaze, Yuan Zhou began to process the fish slices and the seasonings with great skill.

“Cooking carp is really about the details.”

“Why did you split the pickled cabbage into two portions?”

…

“Is it to add more layers to the pickled cabbage’s taste?”

“The timing of the soybean sprouts being cooked was as accurate as father ‘s.”

……

As he was studying and the person who cooked the dish was Yuan Zhou, Kohen’s father, Kolin, had once said that his own Guizhou cuisine was no longer as good as Yuan Zhou’s current one. Therefore, he read it more carefully.

As a result, Kosen wished he had six eyes … Well, he would be a monster if he went off course.

Anyway, he took out every detail and carefully analyzed it in his heart, comparing it with his own cooking and Collin’s cooking.

Yuan Zhou’s movements were smooth and fast. Therefore, the boiled fish with pickled vegetables was finished in a short while.

The second dish he made for Kosen was stir-fried three peppers. It was green and red chili. This dish sounded like stir-fried potatoes with caltrops, but it was not. It was very appetizing.

Among the elements of earth, folk, ethnic, and game, the game was the most suitable to reflect the original taste of food. It was mainly eaten raw and roasted, so it was not suitable to be displayed.

For the remaining three cuisines, Yuan Zhou cooked five dishes of each kind, including meat and vegetables, 15 dishes in total.

Although the portion was small, every dish looked, smelled, and tasted great. Furthermore, Kosen even saw a familiar dish in the folk department.

“This is Xi Xingyang’s gigolo.” Kosen recognized it at a glance. It was the best chicken dish he had made during the chef’s exchange.

The same dish could better reflect the gap between the level of chefs. When Yuan Zhou was cooking, even Kosen himself could feel the obvious gap.

Yuan Zhou had already cooked a table full of dishes.

Kosen was waiting for Yuan Zhou to explain. However, Yuan Zhou sat down after he was done and didn’t have any intention of explaining.

“Am I too stupid to understand head chef Yuan’s intention?” Such a thought emerged in Kosen’s mind.

After watching Yuan Zhou cook, the biggest feeling in his heart was: Head chef Yuan is indeed head chef Yuan! His skills in the Guizhou cuisine had truly surpassed all the grandmasters he had ever seen. He had his own unique feeling.

Apart from that, he had a vague feeling, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. That was why he wanted to wait for head chef Yuan to explain it to him. However, he didn’t expect head chef Yuan to act so strangely.

“Come on.” Yuan Zhou said to Kohen.

“OK, head chef Yuan,” Kosen picked up the knife and set aside his thoughts. He took a deep breath and prepared to cook the steamed sweet and sour fish and green rock tofu.

Of course, Kosen’s speed was far inferior to Yuan Zhou ‘s. To be precise, no chef in the world could be faster than Yuan Zhou. Yuan Zhou was so good at both the knife skills and the control of the fire that he could even cook several dishes at the same time.

“Hmm, this is …” The fuzzy feeling that Kosen had when he was cooking became clearer after the completion of the steamed tail fish in distillers grains and the green rock tofu.

As for what exactly it was, Kosen was still not very clear, but he had a general direction. He was no longer a headless fly.

“Eat it while it’s hot.” Yuan Zhou said.

Wu Hai had already sat down early and didn’t say anything throughout the whole process. For him, it was fine as long as he could eat. Cooking skills were not important as he couldn’t learn them anyway.

Of course, Wu Hai didn’t pick up his chopsticks first this time. Instead, he waited until Kosen had tasted all the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou before he started to eat. After all, he was the professor today and Wu Shou was quite clear about that.

Of course, the Black Beast only ate the 15 dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou. He didn’t eat the two dishes cooked by Kosen.

Previously, when Yuan Zhou commented on the yanglang chicken, he had mentioned that Kosen’s shortcomings were that he didn’t make good use of the sweetness of the meat where the chicken meat and bones were connected and that he didn’t handle the chicken skin well enough.

Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t have these two shortcomings. This time, he directly demonstrated the perfect cooking method of the Yang lang chicken.

After Yuan Zhou ate up a table full of Guizhou cuisine, Kosen suddenly stood up and bowed to Yuan Zhou,””Thank you for your guidance today, head chef Yuan. I already have some ideas in mind and I want to find a place to put them into practice. That’s why I can thank you properly tomorrow.”

“Go on.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head. As he was also a chef, he naturally understood Kosen’s feeling.

“I’m sorry for being impolite,” After saying that, Kosen immediately ran off.

Looking at the back of Kosen running away, Yuan Zhou nodded his head. It seemed that the table of Guizhou cuisine he had prepared was not in vain.

“Kosen’s reaction is a little similar to when I had the inspiration. ” “Compass, you inspired him?” Wu Hai asked casually.

“It’s not called inspiration. ” Yuan Zhou explained,”it’s just that it’s extremely difficult to find a Qian cuisine that’s better than master Colin ‘s. Besides, Kosen also learned his culinary skills from Colin. Therefore, he naturally thinks that master Colin’s cooking method is equivalent to the Qian cuisine. I just showed him the other possibilities of Qian cuisine.”

Yuan Zhou said it rather tactfully. As for those that were directly ordered, Yuan Zhou used his culinary skills that were superior to Colin’s to weaken the “Guizhou cuisine” in Colin’s mind.

“Oh, it’s like drawing. You’re always influenced by your teacher, and your teacher is already a Big Shot, so it’s hard for you to have confidence and not have your own style. Then, compass, you just tell him that there’s another style.” Wu Hai concluded.

“Almost,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Sigh, it’s a pity that I was self-taught and then became famous. I have no experience in overcoming difficulties.” Wu Hai let out a sigh and revealed a pitiful manner.

“？？？”Yuan Zhou suddenly felt like starving Wu Hai to death.

“This snack is good and has a great appetite. I’ll be leaving first. I’ll come back for dinner tonight.” Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and left with a pitiful look.

Looking at the plates that were as clean as new except for the dishes cooked by Kosen, Yuan Zhou wanted to starve Wu Hai to death even more.

However, Wu Hai had already left the backyard and walked out of the restaurant.

“Forget it, I won’t argue with a black beast.” Yuan Zhou picked up the chopsticks and prepared to finish the two dishes on the table.

Fortunately, Kosen didn’t cook more when he found Yuan Zhou only cooked a small amount of dishes. He only cooked a quarter of the usual amount.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou didn’t eat for long before he finished it.

As today was the teaching task, Yuan Zhou didn’t prepare to read or sculpt. He just tidied up the backyard and went to rest. After all, he had to prepare the ingredients for dinner later.

At dinner, Wu Hai arrived as promised. The amount of food he ordered was still the same. It didn’t look like he had just eaten an hour ago at all.

This should be Wu Hai’s own superpower.

Just when the dinnertime of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant started, Yin ya was preparing to get off work at the other side. As they had made an appointment to have dinner together after Yuan Zhou’s restaurant closed, it was just the right time to leave. She could also go back to wash up and change into some light clothes.

But before she left, Yin ya carried the cardboard box on her desk with one hand and started to wander around the CEO Secretariat.

“This is my delivery for today. It’s for you.” As Yin ya walked closer, a girl stood up and put her box into Yin ya’s big box.

“Thank you.” Yin ya thanked him with a smile.

“You’re welcome. I still have to thank little ya for being willing to help me throw it.” The colleague said.

“That’s right, this is my drink bottle for today. ” The girl at the work desk at the side picked up the drink bottle and put it into Yin ya’s box.

“Thank you,” he said. Yin ya still thanked him earnestly.

“You’re welcome. We should be the ones thanking you. ” The girl waved her hand.

At the end of the year, Yin ya would be promoted to the position of the Vice Director of the Secretary Department. She was very capable and popular with people. Therefore, everyone cooperated with her when she collected the discarded cardboard boxes and bottles.

After a short while, all the materials in the Secretary Department were collected. However, Yin ya didn’t go to the office outside, but returned to her own seat and prepared to leave later.

Xiaochen, on the other hand, came to Yin ya with a pile of delivery boxes in her arms. At this time, almost all the people in the office had left, leaving only the two of them.

“Mine’s here. It’s a lot. ” Xiaochen said proudly.

“You … You said you were going to lose weight, but you bought so much food.” Yin ya pinched Xiaochen’s waist with a smile and teased her.

“Little ya, I’m helping you. How can helping a friend be considered fat?” Xiaochen said angrily.

“Yes, yes, yes, I’m not fat.” Yin ya said with a helpless smile.

While she was speaking, Yin ya was carefully opening the address, name, and adhesive tape on the express delivery.

“I’ll help. ” Xiaochen said.

“Sure, I’ll treat you to a meal next time if you help me.” Yin ya didn’t refuse him and just nodded her head and said.

“Are we going to eat in boss Yuan’s restaurant?” Xiaochen asked with a sneaky smile.

“Yes, yes, yes, let’s go to his place to eat.” Yin ya rolled her eyes at Xiaochen and said.

“That’s great. I can exchange the tape for boss Yuan’s big meal. It’s really worth it. ” As she spoke, Xiaochen started to tear it down enthusiastically.

“Then you open it, I’ll go wash the bottle.” Seeing that Xiaochen had dismantled it cleanly, Yin ya picked up the drink bottle that her colleague had drunk from and said.

“No problem,” he said. Xiaochen made a hand gesture of “okay” and then Yin ya went to the bathroom with the bottle.

Since all the drinks had been drunk, they would look better after being washed. The attentive Yin ya even carefully dried them before putting them back into the box.

By the time Yin ya washed the bottles and came out, Xiaochen had already removed all the names, addresses and tape on the paper boxes.

Yin ya tidied up and sorted out the paper boxes. Then, she put the bottles into the paper box and then stood up with the bag in one hand and the paper box in the other, preparing to leave.

“Do you want me to help carry him down?” Xiaochen asked.

“No need, I’ll go by myself.” Yin ya said.

“Alright,” he said. Xiaochen nodded her head and then left the office with Yin ya.

The two of them took the elevator down together. Yin ya parked her car in the parking space that Yuan Zhou had bought for her and naturally went to Taoxi road. As for Xiaochen, she parked her car on the other side.

“Then I’ll be going. Take care, little ya. Goodbye.” Xiaochen waved her hand, not forgetting to remind her, “Don’t forget about my feast. ”

“I know.” Yin ya nodded her head and then walked toward Taoxi road.

Xiaochen didn’t ask Yin ya why she suddenly started to collect paper boxes and drink bottles more than a week ago. She just helped her remove the tape or brought her own paper boxes to her every time.

After all, Yin ya didn’t tell her the reason. As a friend, Xiaochen didn’t ask her about it and just helped her seriously.

Yin ya’s company was not far from Taoxi road. It was already the end of August, but the weather in Chengdu was still hot. Fortunately, it was already 6:30 and the sun had set.

Soon, Yin ya walked to the parking lot. However, she didn’t go to the parking lot. Instead, she crossed the road and walked toward Taoxi road.

After walking into Taoxi road, he turned at the intersection and went directly to the garbage station. There were three large garbage cans there, and the garbage in them had already been collected. There was still very little garbage, but there was still a rotten smell.

Yin ya walked to the side of the trash can without looking sideways. Then, she bent over, put down the paper box, and stood up, preparing to leave.

At this time, he was stopped by a voice,””Thank you, sister.”

With a smile on her face, Yin ya turned around and saw a little girl standing at the entrance of the alley. As if she had just noticed her, she greeted her,”Why are you thanking me? I’m here to throw out the trash.”

“No, no, I know. I know that you’re giving it to me, sister. Thank you.” The little girl didn’t look very tall and seemed to be less than ten years old. She lowered her head and said seriously.

“You come at different times every day, but it’s always a few minutes before I come. I’ve seen my sister several times.” The little girl said with her head lowered.

Obviously, this was not the first time that Yin ya had done this.

“It might be a coincidence. Don’t think too much about it. I just happened to be helping my colleague bring these boxes down.” Yin ya didn’t say much but just explained in a gentle voice.

“Yes, Thank you, sister.” Seeing Yin ya refuse to admit it no matter what, the little girl didn’t say anything more, but still thanked her earnestly.

“You’re welcome, but I can’t take this thank you for nothing. How about this, I’ll give these to you directly next time, and you help me deal with them, okay?” Yin ya said.

“Can I?” The little girl quickly raised her head and took a look at Yin ya.

“Of course you can. Actually, all the girls in our office like to buy things, so there are quite a lot of boxes.” Yin ya shrugged her shoulders and said.

“I can help,” The little girl said anxiously.

“I know, that’s why I’m asking you for help.” Yin ya said gently.

“If I don’t disturb you, I can wait downstairs. That way, you won’t have to walk too far.” Obviously, the little girl knew that Yin ya was carrying these paper boxes from the company. Therefore, she said that.

“Of course, I can. This way, I can walk less. After all, the trash can there is too small to fit all these.” Yin ya filled up her own loopholes without leaving a trace.
