Chapter 1841 He Is a Chef
London, England.
London is also known as the Fog City. If you teach an Englishman to speak Sichuan dialect, let him say: London is the Fog City.
Inexplicable joy.
At this time, lunch had just ended and it was not yet time for afternoon tea. The executive chef of Michelin-starred Pursue.dreams, Bauer, made one last inspection of the kitchen to confirm that there were no problems before he had some time to himself.
Why isn't Pursue.dreams translated into Chinese? Because it's called "Dream Chasing" in Chinese. I always think of Teacher Wang and suddenly lose my composure.
In fact, Bauer is not particularly busy at ordinary times, but he is very serious about cooking and believes that he can do his best in anything as long as he pays enough patience.
Bauer not only has this requirement for himself, but also for his group of chefs.
Now 55 years old, Ball has already established a firm foothold in "Chasing Dreams" and has formed his own process. In addition to preparing the chef recommendation of the day, he inspects the kitchen three times, and prepares meals before the start of business. After the opening hours.
Although it is a bit troublesome, if you ask Yuan Zhou if it is necessary, Yuan Zhou will answer that it is necessary. This will avoid kitchen accidents to the greatest extent.
"call……"
Ball sat in his lounge, took a sip of coffee and began to close his eyes and relax. It was at this time that he would relax some of his requirements.
"By the way, that guy Kaman seems to have asked me to watch some kind of video. I don't know what it is?" Bauer muttered.
The process of getting to know the two is also a legend.
Kaman likes to eat and discover delicious food, and Ball’s food is very delicious, especially Ball’s Beef Wellington, which Kaman never gets tired of eating. After going back and forth, the two hooked up, or they got to know each other. Then friendship emerged naturally.
"Better take a look." Ball opened his eyes and took out his phone to click on the video Kaman sent him.
The video begins with a super large painting with many lifelike characters on it, each of them in different poses and looks very lifelike.
Yes, Kaman was the collector who lost the bid.
"This is the painting style of China. It seems to be in some work, right? Three Kingdoms? Yes, the Three Kingdoms." Bauer is actually half a fan of China, so he still knows a little about many things about China.
Of course, Bauer has not been to China yet. Mainly because he is busy studying cooking skills, so he knows only a little about China.
It's just like those people who really like Chinese rice dumplings, and when they finally eat the rice dumplings, they bite the rice dumpling leaves together, and then complain that they were deceived and that the rice dumplings are really unpalatable.
After painting comes sculpting.
"Is this carving? The carving technique is so good. There are not many such carvings in Kaman's collection. This sculptor named Yuan is really good at his craftsmanship." Bauer saw the video appearing later. The engraving immediately interested me.
As a master chef, no matter what dish he is good at, he still needs basic knife skills, and Ball's knife skills are still outstanding.
"Although a chef's knife skills are different from a sculptor's carving skills, and there is nothing in common that we can learn from, it's nice to see." It's normal for Bauer to think this way. The videos Kaman recorded only include painting and carving. Neither Wu Hai nor Yuan Zhou’s names were mentioned.
Suddenly the phone vibrated and there was a call.
"Aren't you attending an auction in Italy? Call me when you have time." Bauer answered the phone directly as soon as he saw the caller ID.
"I'm back. Have you seen the video I sent you?" Kaman's voice came from the microphone.
"Look, the paintings and sculptures are very good. They are from the Three Kingdoms of China. They look exotic and worthy of being a mysterious ancient oriental country." Bauer said simply and authentically.
"It seems it's called something other than Three Kingdoms, it's water." Kaman only remembered the word water.
"It must be the Three Kingdoms. You have no research on Chinese culture.
But I've done my research. "Bauer is determined.
"Oh, that should be it." Kaman had no doubts about his friend's affirmation. He might have remembered it wrong, and then said: "Don't pay attention to the details. What do you think of the carving itself?"
"It's very delicate. At first glance, it's not mechanical carving, because machine carving is too cold and the lines cannot be so soft. I visited your collection before, but I didn't see a few decent carvings."
Kaman commented, and said: "Earlier you were lamenting that there were no outstanding carving masters in the 21st century, and now there is one. It's a pity that carving and cooking skills have nothing in common, otherwise the exchange would be very good."
After Kaman heard this, he felt that it would not be good if he asked directly, so he chose a circuitous method.
"Then did you find anything different about this carving?"
"What do you mean?" Bauer began to watch the video carefully and came to a conclusion: "Looking at the marks, it seems that it was not carved with a professional carving knife. It seems that this master carver has a lot of quirks."
"As far as I know and have reliable information, the person who completed this work of art was Yuan, a top chef in China, and the utensil used was a horizontal knife."
Kaman likes two works of art very much. Let alone Wu Hai, everyone in the painting circle knows them, but there is relatively little information about Yuan Zhou, so Kaman checked them out.
In the British catering industry, there are of course very few masters of local cuisine in the UK. After all, it is known as one of the three dark cuisine countries, and Yuanzhou is not well-known in the UK, so Kaman found out before calling his friend Ball.
The British word for horizontal knife is also a kitchen knife.
"What?"
"What did you say??"
"Carman, what did you just say?!!"
He asked three questions in a row, and Ball's questioning tone continued to rise.
Kaman repeated what he just said.
Ball was silent, then continued watching the video, watching it two or three times.
Kaman continued: "I just want to ask, are your chefs' requirements so high now that your knife skills must reach this level?"
If Kaman is clairvoyant and can see the expression of his friend Ball, then he must be able to see now that Ball's expression is: You are fucking kidding me!
Someone gave Yuan Zhou free publicity. Yuan Zhou didn't know about it, but Yuan Zhou was in a good mood today.
The diners also noticed that the corners of Yuan Zhou's mouth were slightly more curved than usual based on the experience summarized by the attentive Wang Hong.
After thinking about it, everyone thought it was because the sculptures and paintings that had caused a lot of fuss in the past two days were auctioned for sky-high prices.
The diners guessed this wrong. Yuanzhou was in a good mood because he received a message from Yin Ya when he got up early. Yin Ya was coming back from a business trip.
I haven’t seen Yin Ya for almost a week. There is a saying: One day without seeing her is like three autumns.
One week is twenty-one years, and Yin Ya arrives in Chengdu at three o'clock in the afternoon. She has to go to the company tomorrow for work, so the rest of the time is free.
Since the morning, Yuan Zhou has been secretly planning to let Mao Ye check out the tavern tonight whenever he has free time. He plans to take Yin Ya out for a walk. As for the locations, he has already listed no less than ten places. , I just haven’t decided which one to go to yet.
