Chapter 2015: Obtaining a silver spoon
Translator: 549690339
Qin Hua was immersed in his own cooking. Perhaps it was because of the pressure from Yuan Zhou, or perhaps it was the final radiance of the setting sun, but this was the best performance he had done in recent years. He felt that he had already touched something else.
Wait a minute, the final radiance of the setting sun didn’t seem to be a good word. Anyway, he had entered the state and didn’t hear any other sounds in his mind.
Well … Although Yuan Zhou was in such a state almost every time he cooked.
“Head chef Qin, you live up to your reputation. You’re really not bad.” After Yuan Zhou finished cooking, he raised his head and took a look at Qin Hua. He immediately understood. He was too familiar with this state and was quite happy for head chef Qin.
“Clang!”
The sound of the plate touching the table was like a signal. The food was served. The five judges paused for a moment before they started moving their chopsticks.
With a “ka” sound, the chopsticks made contact with the plate. Although the plate was placed in the middle of the plate by the little Miss, Zhou Shijie was still the one who won the first place.
He was sitting in the main seat, which was quite far from the plate. Of course, this was only relative to head chef Yue, who was sitting in front of the plate.
However, Zhou Shijie had an advantage. As a regular customer of the master chef Restaurant, he had learned Wang daoyi’S and Wu Hai’s unique skills of snatching dishes. Snatching dishes was a basic skill. Even though Zhou Shijie had a high status, was old, and few people competed with him, it was a fact that he had a son with barbecued pork.
It was not until he picked up the winter melon with the chopsticks that Zhou Shijie could clearly see the winter melon, which appeared even whiter under the contrast of the brown chopsticks. It was so thick that light could pass through it, and it seemed to be even lighter than the silk of cicadas. However, the soft and glutinous texture of the winter melon did not bend at all when it was picked up with the chopsticks. It was still as light as a piece of silk.
…
“I think it’ll be a waste to eat such a delicate dish.” Zhou Shijie said.
“Then don’t eat it,” head chef Yue replied.
Zhou Shijie rolled his eyes while head chef Yue gave him a look. Was he speaking the human language?
“I can’t compare with little Yuan’s power for a long time,” Zhou Shijie sighed with emotion. There was pride in his tone, but also a little desolation.
After all, although Lu cuisines, or to be precise, Chinese cuisines, couldn’t be said to have the surname of Zhou in the previous era, Zhou Shijie was still the most brilliant person among them. Therefore, he was a little lonely.
As for pride, it was easy to understand. As the saying went,”in the Yangtze River, the waves behind will push the waves in front, while the waves in front will die on the beach”. However, for Zhou Shijie, the brighter the star that was slowly rising, the better. The brighter it was, the stronger the Chinese cooking industry would be in the future. This was his long-cherished wish.
“Indeed, it’s hard not to be convinced by this skill of turning the pan and hooking the knife.” Head chef Wang stared at the winter melon slice in his hand.
The top was evenly wrapped with a layer of juice as thin as a cicada’s wing. There were no blind spots at all, and the wrapping was perfect. Moreover, the thickness was consistent.
“Ka Cha!”
As soon as he put it in his mouth, the crab roe that had disappeared came back to life. The texture of fresh seafood was pink and sticky. Together with the winter melon with a little sweetness, it had a refreshing and slightly fishy taste. It was very special.
“How exactly did head chef Yuan prepare this crab roe? I can’t even tell at all. It’s really hard to cook every dish.” Head chef Mai felt like he was being scratched by a cat.
“I think I can ask head chef Yuan for advice later.” Head chef Zhuang’s hands didn’t relax at all. Relying on the fact that he had planned it out but not planned it out, he directly snatched a piece of winter melon from head chef Mai.
The plate appeared to be very large and the thin slices of winter melon cut by Yuan Zhou weren’t small either. They were as long as a banana. However, they couldn’t withstand a group of people fighting over them and were eaten up very quickly. The plate was also as clean as new, which was the symbol of Yuan Zhou.
“If it wasn’t for the fact that this silver spoon can only be awarded to people after the competition, head chef Yuan would have been better off. I wonder if head chef Qin would be able to get over it this time.” Head chef Wang smacked his lips and was a little worried.
He wasn’t speaking without any basis. Five years ago, it wasn’t the first time that head chef Qin Hua had participated in the contest for the silver spoon. That was his second time, and this was already his third time. Furthermore, head chef Wang had a feeling that Yuan Zhou would never be able to hand it over in his lifetime.
As for head chef Qin Hua, he was always a little off.
Head chef Wang had a feeling that head chef Qin’s future was bleak.
“Old man Qin? It shouldn’t be a problem to show him the video this time. ” Zhou Shijie said after a moment of silence.
“That’s a good idea. ” Said head chef Yue.
Before head chef Qin Hua’s dish was served, the judges had already arranged the results.
It wasn’t that the judges were looking down on head chef Qin Hua, but the difference was so obvious that only a blind man could not see it.
Not only the judges on stage, but all the chefs in the audience knew that the result was set. Their culinary skills were not the best, but they had good eyesight.
“Head chef yuan can’t say that his culinary skills are very good.” Gao Fei said.
Bai subo looked at Gao Fei, waiting for him to finish his sentence. ‘Let’s see what you can say.’
“China’s table tennis is divided into ordinary, difficult, hell, and domestic competitions.” Gao Fei said,”I think culinary skills can be divided into Four Realms. Ordinary, master chef, famous chef, and Yuan Zhou.”
After Gao Fei finished watching the entire scene, he was completely convinced.
Bai subo nodded. It made a lot of sense.
“It seems like the outcome of the silver spoon Association has been revealed.”
“It’s probably going to be a long time since we’ll be able to hold a silver spoon banquet. ”
“That’s a good thing. Head chef Yuan is so strong. I heard that head chef Yuan’s Lu cuisine is also quite good. It’s equivalent to having a golden signboard for our Lu cuisine. That’s good.”
There was a lot of discussion below the stage. The judges on the stage had already finished tasting head chef Qin Hua’s dish. This time, they set a limit on how many pieces each person could eat, which was very much like a judge’s style.
Seeing that Zhou Shijie was about to stand up and announce the result of the competition, head chef Qin Hua was full of confidence. However, when he heard the whispers of the chefs below the stage, he suddenly became uneasy.
“I have performed beyond my usual level this time. There shouldn’t be any problems, right …” Qin Hua turned his head and took a look at Yuan Zhou.
Seeing Yuan Zhou standing there calmly without any nervousness or expectation, head chef Qin Hua suddenly stopped being nervous. He had already done his best so far and it didn’t matter what the result was.
“Phew …”
Head chef Qin Hua let out a breath of air and calmed down.
“The 10th silver spoon culinary competition has come to a successful end. The owner of the silver spoon of this world is head chef Yuan Zhou. Next, I will personally present the award.” Zhou Shijie waved his hand.
On the other side, Xiao Li carried a tray up. The tray was covered with a layer of red flannelette. It rose and fell, and one could tell that there was something underneath.
At the same time, Zhou Shijie also came down from the rostrum and walked to the high platform. At the invitation of the waitress, Yuan Zhou also stood in the middle of the high platform.
As for head chef Qin Hua, the moment the results were announced, he was stunned for a moment before walking down the stage. He stood there expressionlessly, thinking about something.
“Congratulations, head chef Yuan.” Zhou Shijie lifted the flannelette and revealed the silver spoon inside.
This silver spoon was much larger than the usual ones used for cooking, but the handle was very short. It looked like it had been broken, and its color was bright and shiny. It was obviously not suitable to be used anymore, but it had a great symbolic meaning.
“Thank you, Chairman Zhou.” Yuan Zhou received it with both hands. At Zhou Shijie’s signal, he took the microphone and intended to speak.
“I’ll continue to work hard to cook in the future and strive to do better. ” Yuan Zhou said firmly.
