Chapter 1557 The Sourness of Guizhou Vegetables
Sometimes time passes very quickly, and sometimes it passes very slowly. For those who come to participate in Yuan Zhou's personal cooking exhibition, time naturally passes too slowly. It feels like they need to sleep for a long time every day to eat. Next meal.
For Yuan Zhou, the time passed very quickly. After just two sleeps, it was already the third day of the cooking show, which was about autumn.
Just like yesterday, Yuan Zhou finished packing at 3:50 in the morning and prepared to go to the banquet hall. The streets at this time were more crowded than yesterday.
Most people didn't know Yuan Zhou's habits yesterday and missed the reporters from Yangzhou who got up early. They were waiting outside the door of Yuan Zhou's shop, waiting to take pictures of Yuan Zhou going to the banquet hall.
"It's really early." The reporters couldn't help thinking as they watched the door open.
No matter what these reporters thought, Yuan Zhou came out wearing a Hanfu suitable for autumn. Today's Hanfu was embroidered with autumn dead leaves and lotus, which still showed on the collar and hem.
By the way, yesterday's summer theme, the Hanfu worn by Yuan Zhou showed off the blooming summer lotus, which was complicated and gorgeous.
The moment he opened the door, he was faced with a group of cameras. Yuan Zhou was slightly shocked, but he quickly calmed down, nodded and greeted the reporters, and then continued walking towards the banquet hall.
When he arrived at the door, Yuanzhou went through the security check as usual and then entered the banquet hall. When he got inside, Technician Cheng was still waiting there.
"Didn't I ask you to come at seven o'clock?" Yuan Zhou said.
"Master is here, how can the apprentice sleep on the bed." Technician Cheng touched his head and said a little embarrassedly, but firmly stated that he would follow Yuan Zhou's pace.
"You have done a good job." Yuan Zhou said.
"Thank you, master, I will continue to work hard." Technician Cheng clenched his fists with enthusiasm.
"Yeah." Yuan Zhou nodded and didn't try to persuade him any more.
Other Technicians Cheng obeyed Yuan Zhou's words, but in terms of respecting his master, Technician Cheng fulfilled his duties and achieved all the respect a disciple should have for his master.
Even if there are some small details that Yuan Zhou doesn't care about, Technician Cheng will do it meticulously, just like now.
In fact, Technician Cheng had packed up the banquet hall last night. He couldn't help now because Yuan Zhou's kitchen didn't need a second person.
Even if I can't help like the previous two days and can only stand aside and watch,
Technician Cheng will also arrive before Yuan Zhou arrives, which is what an apprentice should do for him.
At four o'clock, he went to the kitchen to prepare the preliminary ingredients. Yuan Zhou worked on it for three hours. In the remaining time, Yuan Zhou started preparing today's breakfast.
Just as Yuan Zhou was preparing breakfast, people began to come to the banquet hall one after another.
The first batch of people to come were basically famous chefs from all over the country, and the earliest one to come was Oishi Xiujie.
Dashi Xiujie was wearing a white chef's uniform and stood seriously behind the partition of the open kitchen, staring at Yuan Zhou's movements with burning eyes.
"This kid looks really annoying." For some reason, Technician Cheng disliked Oishi Xiujie very much.
Maybe Oishi Xiujie's eyes were too similar to his.
Yes, Dashi Xiujie looks like he did when Technician Cheng just wanted to become Yuan Zhou's disciple, with firm eyes and respect on his face.
Therefore, when Technician Cheng looked at Oishi Xiujie like this, he instinctively disliked him, which meant that people of the same sex were repulsive.
They didn't want to fall behind others, so just like the previous two days, the arrival time of the guests was basically around eight o'clock. After everyone was in order, and after Zhou Shijie's opening remarks, Yuan Zhou took the stage again.
"Welcome to my personal cooking show. Today's theme is autumn, and the cuisine used is Qian cuisine." Yuan Zhou said directly without any nonsense.
"Because the area where Guizhou cuisine is located is a multi-ethnic area, I will show the multi-ethnic characteristics of Guizhou cuisine this time. I hope everyone likes it." After Yuan Zhou finished his polite words as usual, he paused and announced the start of today's breakfast. .
"Today's autumn breakfast is Yuanzhou's homemade version of colorful glutinous rice with pea soup." Yuanzhou said solemnly, and then stepped down.
As Yuan Zhou finished speaking, Yin Ya's English translation also ended, and then Zhou Shijie began to educate everyone about Guizhou cuisine.
There are many Chinese cuisines, but Guizhou cuisine is not as famous as other cuisines in China. Therefore, the guests who came listened to Zhou Shijie's popular science with great interest.
Even the dignitaries on the side listened very seriously, and even had a new understanding of China in their hearts.
After all, we all knew that China was a vast land and rich in resources, but we didn’t have a clear idea. But after this cooking exhibition, we have an idea.
That is, there are so many differences in just eating them. From the taste to the selection of ingredients to the meanings, they are all colorful and never the same.
"I wonder what kind of surprise Chef Yuan will give us today." said the Thai prince.
"I am also looking forward to Yuan Jun's cooking skills. China is indeed a sleeping lion." said the Japanese cabinet minister.
"I didn't expect that China could come up with so many tricks in its food. I really admire it." The dignitary of Bangzi Country also said.
"Actually, eating is just a small thing for us in China. The country is prosperous and stable, so everyone loves eating it." Minister Hao said modestly with a smile.
"Yes, eating is just one of the characteristics of China. We attach great importance to all industries." He Zhenghong followed in the footsteps of Minister Hao and said modestly.
In fact, the expressions on the two of them were one of pride, and the way they looked at Yuan Zhou was no different from looking at a rare treasure.
After this time, Yuanzhou can be said to be the business card of Chinese food.
These compliments and honors were all brought by Yuan Zhou. The two of them looked at each other and continued to show off while continuing to be humble. They also pointed out that the Guizhou cuisine was not from the eight major cuisines, but only from one of the provinces. .
When it comes to pretentiousness, no one here can compare to He Zhenghong and Minister Hao. Didn't you see that all the dignitaries and leaders here half understood what they were hearing and were envious at the same time.
This is not the end yet. After breakfast, the day officially begins. For snacks, Yuanzhou prepares more and more exquisite Soviet-style snacks.
The exquisite boat dishes and today's complete set of bamboo tableware were an eye-opener for the dignitaries. They were much richer than the state banquet, and they were all served steaming hot. They were so delicate and cute that they couldn't bear to part with them even though they knew the taste. Eat.
"Oh my gosh, this is so exquisite. Is this really edible?" August and Manfred couldn't help but exclaim.
"Well, I can do it for you." Francie, who had a mouth full of food on the side, said immediately after hearing this.
"It's such a waste to give it to you." August looked at the peony that was bitten by Francie with a sad look on his face.
"I can help." Chu Xiao on the side said with an indifferent expression.
It was okay when Francie opened her mouth, but when Chu Xiao opened his mouth, Manfred and August couldn't help but reach out to protect their food. After all, Chu Xiao had a good tongue that could taste delicious food.
"Forget it, I'm going to save it and eat it slowly." The two of them shook their heads and protected the bamboo cage in front of them, not wanting to look at it.
Snacks are like this, not to mention dinner, Yuan Zhou showed people the extreme of sourness today.
Yes, yesterday Yuan Zhou and the guests experienced the variety of tastes, and today Yuan Zhou has reached a new level in terms of sourness.
As Yuan Zhou said, Guizhou cuisine is a multi-ethnic fusion cuisine, and there is a saying in Guizhou cuisine that "you will walk around without eating sour food for three days." From this, you can see the status of sour food in Guizhou cuisine.
This time Yuanzhou did not use a dish-by-plate approach, but used a map of the entire Guizhou to represent it.
I saw Yuanzhou carving a bamboo plate. The shape of the plate was exactly like a one-to-one smaller version of the map of Guizhou.
This plate looks like an exquisite jade pendant and an enthusiastic running pig. It is both cute and interesting, and it also vividly expresses the characteristics of Guizhou's landforms.
Each dish is placed in the corresponding place on the map. If the place is a hill, it will be arranged in the shape of a hill.
Thailand, Vietnam and other countries also like to eat sour food. Today Yuan Zhou is going to let them know that sour food can also be delicious!
