As soon as su Ruoyan left, she turned around and asked Feng ti,””Do you understand what dish this is? Will the plate presentation be artistic?”
“I don’t understand,” Feng ti shook his head sincerely,””But I know that the lute is an ancient Chinese musical instrument.”
“I think it’ll be good to combine food and musical instruments.” Fengti said with certainty.
“Alright, I hope you’re right.” Bai na shrugged his shoulders and didn’t say anything.
“No, we should have confidence in crow’s taste.” Feng ti said seriously.
“Yes, we should have confidence in crow’s taste.” Bai na then nodded with certainty.
After all, as Wu Hai regarded it as the afflatus sacred land, the place where he could replenish his life force was definitely not bad.
After understanding this, the few of them sat quietly in their seats and began to wait.
Yuan Zhou had always been a fast cook. Even if it was a dish that required a lot of complicated decorations, it was not a problem for Yuan Zhou.
“Hua la,” Yuan Zhou wiped his hands on the Azure stone countertop and several ship-shaped plates were directly placed on the countertop in an orderly manner.
…
Then, in front of everyone, the silver knife in Yuan Zhou’s hand danced and a beautiful woman as vivid as white jade appeared on the boat-shaped plate.
The beautiful woman’s face was like a silver plate, and her hair was combed into a beautiful bun. She was wearing a dress, and her clothes fluttered in the wind. Her arms were slightly raised, as if she was holding something.
Behind the beauty was the cabin, where a few shadowy figures also walked out. They all looked different, but the one thing they had in common was that they all had their arms slightly raised.
There were two people standing at the bow of the ship. One of them was dressed like a scholar, while the other was dressed like a Berserker. The patterns on their clothes were also clearly visible, but the color was the same as the women ‘s, White.
Because these were all carved out of tofu, although they looked lifelike, it felt like something was missing.
Yuan Zhou put down the waiter and then turned around to get busy on the kitchen counter, where he was still frying the dishes ordered by other customers.
The current Yuan Zhou had long been able to multitask and cook many dishes at the same time.
Feng ti and bai na happened to be sitting at the curved long table. The series of marvelous knife skills that Yuan Zhou displayed just now were naturally seen by the two of them.
“This is already an art. How can it be so fast and accurate?” Bai na praised.
“Yes, I’ve never seen you cut vegetables like this.” Feng ti exclaimed.
“Indeed, that’s what Mr. Wu is so obsessed with. Look at the person on the plate. They look so similar.” Bai na said while pointing at the half-completed ship-shaped plate on the countertop.
“Indeed, but the color is a little dull, and it lacks some soul.” Feng ti said objectively.
“Hey, don’t be so strict. You should know that this Mr. Yuan is a chef. Such space utilization and layout are already very good.” Bai na didn’t just look at the whole thing, he even looked at the details carefully before saying.
“That’s true. I wonder what dish this is. It looks pretty good too.” Feng ti thought about it, that’s true, so he started to guess what this dish was.
Yuan Zhou didn’t let them guess for long. After the dishes were served on the stove, Yuan Zhou started to work on the ship-shaped plates again.
It had only been two minutes, and the people who had just been put on the table were still slightly steaming.
Yuan Zhou lifted the lid of the steamer and white steam was emitted. At that moment, the steam was invisible, but Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and quickly took out the steaming plate from inside.
In fact, it was fine to wait for a while before carrying the dish. However, Yuan Zhou had tried that if he waited for the steam to dissipate before carrying the dish, the temperature of the top of the steamed food would be different from the temperature of the food near the plate. And if he carried the dish out at this time, the heat would be just right.
However, there was only 0.001 difference between serving the dish right at the right time and serving it after the heat had dispersed. Perhaps the difference was even smaller than that. However, Yuan Zhou had always been like that. With an additional 0.001, the difference in taste would be greater.
This was the reason why Lee Yanyi had never been willing to recommend Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and criticize Yuan Zhou himself. After all, no one was more persistent than Yuan Zhou in seeking perfection.
Let’s not mention this for the time being, because Yuan Zhou had already started to clean up the several ship-shaped plates on the Azure stone countertop quickly.
It was the soul of this dish, lute tofu. With a slight shake of her hand, the plate slightly tilted, and the steamed lute tofu precisely fell into the hands of those girls.
At this moment, everyone realized that the girls with their arms slightly raised were indeed holding something. It was a lute.
Immediately after that, Yuan Zhou took out a shiitake mushroom quickly and started to cut it from the root. The long beige shiitake mushroom root fell on the PIPA-shaped tofu obediently and became strings of the zither.
The brown mushroom cap was cut into the handle of the PIPA tuning by Yuan Zhou with two knives.
At a glance, the girls looked like they were really holding pipa.
However, it was not over yet. Yuan Zhou turned around and picked up the pot that had started to boil on the kitchen counter and then poured it onto the plates one by one.
“Serve the dishes,” Yuan Zhou said.
As soon as he said this, su Ruoyan immediately responded,””Yes, boss.”
When su Ruoyan arrived, Yuan Zhou had already carried all the ship-shaped plates to the partition board and then turned around to get busy again.
“Oh my God, this is amazing. What is this? I must order this dish. This is amazing.” Bai na stared at su Ruoyan in shock, his eyes were filled with the desire to snatch it from her.
“It’s so beautiful. It’s like a painting. I think you’re right. We should order that.” Feng ti nodded in agreement.
The other painters were also surprised, and they stared at su Ruoyan with burning eyes.
As for su Ruoyan, she seemed to have felt their gazes and walked towards them. This surprised both bai na and Feng ti, who didn’t know that they were the ones who ordered the lute tofu.
“The lute tofu you ordered, please enjoy.” Starting from Feng ti, su Ruoyan laid out the dishes for them one by one. After she left, the few of them regained their senses.
“Oh my God, so this is the dish we ordered.” Bai na looked at the plate in front of him and was so surprised that he could not say anything more.
“Yes, this is simply art. It’s so beautiful.” Feng ti couldn’t help but swallow his saliva when he said this.
It wasn’t because Feng ti had changed his mind about art, but because the smell was too alluring. Feng ti remembered that he didn’t eat anything for lunch.
“I’ve never seen a chef’s dish that could capture everyone’s eyes so accurately just by this plate presentation.”
“Or rather, this is already a highly completed painting.”
“It’s too perfect, especially the color blending at the end. It’s simply incomparable to nothingness. On top of that, his cutting skills are perfect.”
“And the use and layout of the colors are similar to Mr. Wu ‘s.”
These artists praised the dishes from all aspects, from the layout to the colors.
In fact, they had never expected that what they said was true. Yuan Zhou had taught Wu Hai, the kitchen monster, how to use color and space in exchange for cooking.
Naturally, Yuan Zhou had studied hard to learn the real skills. As for Wu Hai, at least his vegetable dishes and fish soup were edible. After all, the meat was mostly made from the fish soup.
Back to the main topic, that’s right. After Yuan Zhou poured the sauce on the light brown boat-shaped plate, the clothes of all the characters became colorful. Moreover, they were all different from each other.
For example, the two people at the bow of the ship were dressed in the common linen color of ancient times, revealing their slightly open white chest.
As for the Berserker, his clothes were dark brown, a brown that was almost black. His collar was wide open, giving off the feeling of a Distinguished Scholar.
On the other side, the silver-faced Beauty’s face was slightly covered by the lute, giving her a hazy sense of beauty. Her clothes had turned into a conspicuous and beautiful silver-white.
The beauties behind her were using their lute to cover their faces in different positions, and their clothes were mainly light brown-red in color, with different shades.
These beauties were holding pipa in their arms, as if they were coming out of the cabin. If Feng ti and bai na came to read the poem, they would understand that this was the real version of the phrase “still holding the PIPA, half covering your face.”
The color of the clothes was the reason for Yuan Zhou’s pot of soup. Moreover, the soup was poured precisely on the figure and didn’t touch the lute at all.
Through the difference in thickness and the method of pouring the soup, the clothes of these people were of different colors, and these colors and the lute were the finishing touch.
That was why the painters were amazed and praised him.
These painters gathered together and seriously discussed the painting, oh no, the dish.
The atmosphere of the discussion was very serious. Everyone was very enthusiastic and restrained, but there were people who couldn’t help but swallow their saliva from time to time.
The aroma of the steaming hot dishes wafted into their noses, causing everyone’s eyes to be glued to the dishes.
Therefore, the painters were at a loss. They wanted to appreciate them seriously, but they couldn’t help but want to stuff them into their mouths and eat them.
Now, it was a tug between his mind and his desire for food.
