Chapter 2056: No difference
Translator: 549690339
Today, Zhao Lunze was also there. He still occupied the favorable terrain and stared at Yuan Zhou’s work of practice with bright eyes. He had specially rushed back when he received the news that Yuan Zhou was practicing sculpting with a piece of wood.
As for where the news came from, the Buddha said not to say.
Yuan Zhou’s fingers kept moving as if he was performing magic. In just a few minutes, a red-crowned crane spreading its wings and waiting to fly appeared vividly under his hand.
The feathers on its body were very clear. Even when it took off, when it spread its wings, the posture of some of the feathers sticking up was very clear. Every single detail was clearly visible. The lively expression in the bird’s eyes gave the red-crowned crane a bit of spiritual energy, as if it was alive.
A fairy riding a crane and an elephant.
“Phew …”
Zhao Lunze let out a breath of turbid air. In the future, he wouldn’t be surprised no matter what Yuan Zhou did. He was already able to stand firm.
“If I have 30% of boss Yuan’s talent, I’m afraid I’ll wake up laughing even in my dreams.” Although Zhao Lunze’s looks were average, he was dreaming.
“Boss Yuan, is there no difference in the technique of sculpting radishes, tofu, wood, and ice sculptures?” Zhao Lunze could not help but ask.
While Yuan Zhou was cleaning up the wood chips, he said,””The difference is huge. In fact, none of the four uses the same technique. However, to me, the difference is not big.”
…
To be honest, it was like cutting beef bones, tofu, and meat. You couldn’t use the same method to cut them. You could even say that the beef bones were chopped, but if you had the ability to blow off the hair, the method of cutting wasn’t important.
That was exactly what Yuan Zhou was doing at the moment. With his knife skills, he was really at his wit’s end.
“…” He was really acting cool. But after careful consideration, Zhao Lun felt that what boss Yuan said might be the truth.
“Actually, I’m nothing. I can’t compare to my master. He’s the one who’s really amazing.” Yuan Zhou said again.
Carpenter Lian’s craftsmanship was truly superb. He still had a lot to learn.
“Master? Boss Yuan, do you mean you are a chef?” It was the first time that Zhao Lunze heard that Yuan Zhou had a master. His first reaction was that there was no one in the country who could be Yuan Zhou’s master. The top chefs discussed for a while and didn’t find anyone who was qualified.
“No, I’m a Carpenter. Do you know Carpenter Lian?” Yuan Zhou said.
“…” Zhao Lunze almost choked. This was a top-notch chef who had a Carpenter as his master.
If Yuan Zhou hadn’t said that, he would have thought that he was trying to fool others and that he wasn’t good at it.
After a while, his intelligence came back to life. There were many carpenters with the surname Lian, but only one person was called Carpenter Lian.
For example, for a very long time, if there was anyone in the country who was called a “director”, they would definitely be referring to Zhang Yimou.
“That master Lian who is known as the king of woodworking?!” Zhao Lunze couldn’t help but raise his voice.
Yuan Zhou was constantly challenging the limits of his cognitive ability.
“The king of woodworking? that should be my master.” Yuan Zhou said calmly.
Zhao Lun chose to shut himself up.
Not only was he good at cooking, but he also knew how to carve, and it was the kind that could be sold for a sky-high price. He also knew how to carve ice, the kind that was one of the best. His carpentry was also top-notch. Even if he were to find a master, he would be the best in the country. The difference between people was really bigger than that between a man and a pig.
Although he was still in a daze, he still had to do the work. Very soon, he helped Yuan Zhou to pack up. After that, he cleared away all distracting thoughts and took out a contract from his bag and handed it to Yuan Zhou.
“Boss Yuan, this is the profit of this exhibition. 50% of it will be donated to three orphanages in Chengdu. I’ve already settled it. Have a look.” Zhao Lun said.
He had told Yuan Zhou about this matter before. It was not Yuan Zhou who suggested it, but himself. He kept 50% to maintain the daily operation of the museum and donated the rest. Anyway, he didn’t lack this little amount of money.
At that time, Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything, but Zhao Lunze felt that he was the one displaying Yuan Zhou’s sculptures and thus Yuan Zhou had the right to know the details.
Yuan Zhou’s hand paused for a while, but he still received it and started to read it carefully.
Zhao Lun was quite meticulous in choosing the place to donate. He had inspected all the places before and every sum of money was written clearly. It should have been done by a professional. At least, even Yuan Zhou, a layman, could understand it. Of course, this was also because Yuan Zhou had seen such contracts too many times and knew to grasp the key points.
“Thank you,” he said. Yuan Zhou said.
“Boss Yuan, you are so polite. It’s fine if you just give me the fairy riding the crane today.” Zhao Lunze said, waving his hand.
“No problem, you can take it.” Yuan Zhou didn’t really care about what he was sculpting.
It was carved from normal mahogany and wasn’t worth much. The normal was relative to the system, and 100-year-old mahogany wasn’t cheap either.
Zhao Lunze didn’t notice this. He was more familiar with carving, porcelain, and Jade, but not with wood.
Although he could tell that it was Rosewood, he wasn’t sure about its age. However, when he saw Yuan Zhou use it so casually, he thought it was cheap. In the end, when he was told about it by others, he even shed tears.
Just like what Zheng Xian had said, Yuan Zhou’s sculpting of a fairy into Yin ya was really unintentional. Only after it was dug out did Yuan Zhou come back to his senses. Then, Yin ya became famous again, but that was a matter of several months later.
“Let’s go,”he said. Zheng Xian was about to leave after she was done with the carving.
Meng Meng nodded. The two of them had made an appointment to get a tattoo. Meng Meng didn’t want to get a tattoo. Her main purpose was to accompany Zheng Xian while she went to watch the show.
When it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner, Zhao Lunze packed up his things and didn’t stay for long. He didn’t even eat dinner, and all he wanted to do was take the precious wood carving back to be processed and stored for a longer time.
The reason why Yuan Zhou finished work early was to prepare the ingredients for the rice mantou ordered by Jiang Nuan today. Nowadays, most mantou were fermented with aged flour, yeast, or baking soda. However, the rice mantou was different. It fermented the rice flour with the yeast produced during the fermentation process of rice wine or sweet wine. Therefore, it could be considered as a pure natural green food.
Nowadays, many people directly fermented with yeast. What Yuan Zhou used was the traditional ancient method, which was quite troublesome to prepare. This was also the reason why Yuan Zhou said it would take a week.
The first thing he had to do was to make rice wine. He didn’t use the already-made rice wine, but fresh ones. This way, the mantou would taste better, and the sour taste would be the most authentic.
“Xi Li Li Li.”
First of all, Yuan Zhou washed the rice and then prepared the ingredients needed to brew the wine.
“You can brew more. It’s also good to make some glutinous rice dumplings for breakfast.” Yuan Zhou grabbed more rice again.
The preparation work was done very quickly. After Yuan Zhou was done, he started to prepare the dinner. Someone ordered the roast goose today and Yuan Zhou planned to prepare it in advance. Work was done very quickly.
After a busy day, it was dinner time.
There were still many people at dinnertime, one after another. Yuan Zhou was still cooking seriously as usual.
Lei ti and Guo penghao arrived at master chef Restaurant the next morning.
They were supposed to arrive on the first day, but something cropped up at Guo penghao’s side at the last minute and needed to be dealt with before they could set off.
When they arrived, Yuan Zhou was busy moving things out.
“Boss Yuan, there’s something I need to trouble you with. Do you have time?” Lei di stepped forward and asked.
Yuan Zhou had a good impression of Lei ti, who would basically bring back some strange ingredients for Yuan Zhou whenever he came back. The cilantro of Dalong mountain was still vivid in his mind.
“What’s the matter? let’s talk inside,” While saying that, Yuan Zhou took the lead and walked into the restaurant.
