Chapter 1551 I’m Not Qualified Enough

"I'll just say my description is the most accurate." Francie said with a proud look on his face.

"No, I think it's more than that. There's something else involved." Manfred said thoughtfully.

"President, I think you are thinking too much. I think this is the flavor of Chinese spring, and also the flavor of our French romantic spring, because it has a charming floral fragrance in it, which is really strange." Auguste squinted his eyes again. He took a bite of the bun and said happily.

"Yes, there is a kind of petal called Sophora japonica added here. It is a long string of small white flowers. The blooming season is from April to May, and the flowering period is only ten to fifteen days. These petals taste like they were picked today." Chu Xiao nodded.

"We in China have a tradition of eating flowers, which is considered romantic and poetic by ancient literati." Chu Xiao continued.

"Oh, it sounds interesting to me too." Francie said curiously.

"Yes, we still use flowers to make tea or make essential oils more often, and we still eat them, but this is the first time I have eaten this kind of flower like this." Manfred nodded.

"Yes, elderflowers are used to make soup and more often tea." August shrugged.

"Hey, actually I'm not interested in these flowers or anything else. I just want to know if this food called steamed buns is still available?" Francie touched her belly and continued: "After all, this is too small, I haven't I’m full.”

"I think you can take a look over there for yourself." Chu Xiao motioned to France to look at Yuan Zhou's side.

Since Yuan Zhou put down the microphone just now, Yuan Zhou has started to prepare the ingredients for lunch. After all, cooking for two hundred people at a time is still a one-person meal, which naturally requires constant preparation.

And now Yuanzhou is pounding the stone mortar with a thick wooden pestle. As the muscles of Yuanzhou's arm swell slightly, the wooden pestle falls down gently and makes a slight snapping sound. If you smell it carefully, You can also smell the fragrance of rice.

"Are you making something new to eat?" Francie was immediately attracted by Yuan Zhou's new way of cooking and asked curiously.

"Yes, I think you should listen carefully to President Zhou's explanation just now." Chu Xiao said.

"I can't help it, I've just been completely immersed in the deliciousness of this bun." Francie pointed helplessly at the empty steamer in front of her.

"No, I think you only care about eating." August complained unceremoniously.

"Of course,

You have to know that I still miss Chef Yuan’s food since I tasted it half a year ago. "Francie was not ashamed and admitted it directly.

"Well, the taste is indeed impressive." August nodded in agreement as he savored the faint fragrance in his mouth.

"I think I should invite Chef Yuan to join the Celebrity Chefs Association earlier." Manfred said.

"Of course, I can write a letter of recommendation for him personally." August nodded immediately and said positively.

In fact, not everyone can join this chef association. To enter the association, you need to be recommended by three famous chefs of different nationalities, and then go through an assessment and certification before being approved for entry.

This assessment includes whether you have won international culinary competition awards, as well as your reputation and honors among chefs.

It can be said that there are Chinese-Americans in the current celebrity chef association, but only Chu Xiao is a pure Chinese nationality, and even Zhou Shijie has not entered.

Chu Xiao is the honorary chairman here in Asia, and Fujiwara Iemoto is also here, and he is the chairman of the Japan Celebrity Chefs Association, so it is said that Fujiwara Iemoto, the Japanese who knows Chinese cuisine best, is greatly influenced by approved.

Japan is excluded from the whole of Asia, which is not a slight, but precisely because foreign countries recognize Japanese chefs and cuisine more.

Here, the difference between an honorary chairman and a chairman is that the honorary chairman is an honor given by recognizing and respecting the skills he possesses, but does not assume work tasks or responsibilities.

But the chairman is different. He can exercise power, and there are three recommendation places in the chairman's hand, but there is only one honorary chairman.

Therefore, it is still difficult to enter this celebrity chef association. After all, after you enter, all your speeches and ideas about cooking will be circulated and recorded and recorded in the history of chefs.

And this is another way to enter the association, which is to have a handwritten recommendation letter from the chairman of the North American Celebrity Chefs Association like August. In this case, you only need one person's recommendation to enter directly.

When it came to recommending Manfred and August, they couldn't help but look at Chu Xiao, because Chu Xiao also had a recommendation quota in his hand, but he did not recommend Yuan Zhou, which made them feel a little strange.

"Chu, why haven't you recommended Chef Yuan?" Manfred asked seriously.

After all, it is their duty to recommend excellent chefs.

August also looked at Chu Xiao curiously. Obviously he knew that Chu Xiao respected Yuan Zhou and regarded him as his opponent. After all, Chu Xiao's phone was full of videos of Yuan Zhou's cooking exchanges.

But just because of this, August became even more curious.

"Because I'm not qualified to recommend it." Chu Xiao said seriously and directly.

"Huh?" Before Manfred could react, August on the side immediately understood what Chu Xiao meant.

"Chu, you are also a rare talented chef." August said.

"Yes, Chu, you are very good." Manfred nodded and confirmed.

"Of course." Chu Xiao nodded naturally, but when he looked at Yuan Zhou, he couldn't help but said, "But he is a born chef."

"Yes, I like this description very much." August's eyes lit up and he said in agreement.

"Indeed, from the time he first came in to now, in such an environment, his attention has been on his own dishes without any distraction. Other chefs will always care about other people's comments when faced with such an occasion, but he doesn't care about it at all. No." Manfred said with appreciation.

Who doesn't care about other people's opinions? What's more, this is related to the success of his personal cooking exhibition, but according to Manfred's observation, Yuanzhou has no wavering about this at all.

Even if someone loudly said that the buns were too small and not enough to eat, Chef Yuan just explained calmly that this was a brunch, and the amount eaten at this time was just enough not to affect the lunch.

His demeanor was calm, his tone was natural, and there was no fluctuation at all, as if this was just an ordinary banquet, rather than an important culinary exhibition related to his career.

Now Manfred also understood what Chu Xiao meant when he said he was not qualified.

"Speaking of which, how satisfied do you think Chef Yuan will be?" Francie was not interested in the celebrity chef association they were talking about and asked as he brought up another topic.

Even as Francie brought up the topic, others in the Celebrity Chefs Association were discussing the issue.
