Chapter 384: Yuan Zhou’s Eccentricity

Just when the other chefs were obsessed with the ancient court lady and couldn’t restrain themselves, the waiter came back.

“Sir, here is your crystal rod.” The waiter handed the tray to him.

“Well, good. Thank you.” Yuan Zhou received the crystal rod and then thanked the waiter.

“You are welcome.” The waiter said smilingly.

“Master Yuan, even if you don’t need assistants like us to sculpt, you need a person to wash the vegetables, right?” It was Master Cheng that spoke.

“Exactly. You can’t wash the vegetables alone, can you?” Other chefs echoed one after another.

“Leaving other things aside, I’m fairly confident in washing vegetables.” Master Cheng patted on his chest and said confidently.

Judging from the profound knowledge disclosed in the contest and his god-tier sculpting skills displayed now, his culinary skills were definitely at the level of a great master.

It can definitely enhance their culinary skills if they could do the odd jobs for Yuan Zhou.

That was basically the thought of all these chefs. However, it was the cunning Master Cheng that spoke first.

“Actually, I am also not bad.” Even before Yuan Zhou could answer then, another chef also recommended himself at the side.

“There are so many vegetables and I think we can work together and cooperate.” A younger chef suggested smartly.

“I think this method is good.” Once he suggested that, the idea received all chefs’ consent.

That was rarely seen in normal times. The chefs that had so many titles surprisingly all wanted to wash the vegetables eagerly. What a spectacle it was!

“He’s really a capable chef.” At the side, Xing Min was also relieved. He said with a smile.

“Never giving up on their goals until the end.” Lee Yanyi humphed coldly. Obviously, he was discontented with not being able to eat the dishes.

“You eccentric old man, do you mean that he doesn’t even need assistants to help wash vegetables?” No wonder Xing Min was Lee Yanyi’s deadly foe. He figured out his meaning immediately and then asked in surprise.

“That young guy is way too prideful. It’s a waste of time.” Lee Yanyi didn’t deny, but just looked at the surrounding chefs discontentedly.

“Same to you, the unreasonable stubborn donkey.” Even at that moment, Xing Min didn’t forget to ridicule Lee Yanyi.

“Humph.” Lee Yanyi just responded with a cold humph.

After Yuan Zhou heard everyone’s utterance, he answered, “I’m sorry. I’m rich in nothing but eccentricity. I like washing vegetables this way.”

While he was speaking, he appeared quite sincere.

Nonetheless, the hearts of all the chefs over there skipped a beat as they felt something was wrong.

Disregarding all that, Yuan Zhou just took up the Jinling Grass prepared just now and intended to give a presentation.

The handful of Jinling Grass wasn’t so good as that provided by the system, but it was still quite fresh and tender.

“Aren’t the vegetable alright after some rinsing?” Of course, other chefs also knew the crispness and freshness of this vegetable.

Right after that, however, Yuan Zhou began to show his unique awesomeness with his capabilities.

Yuan Zhou first cut the old stalks off with the bamboo knife provided, leaving every piece only one inch long.

Of course, the bamboo knife had also been processed by Yuan Zhou beforehand.

He moved the bamboo knife upward lightly but quickly. Then the Jinling Grass on the kneading board fell into the azure stone basin that he had prepared like the blue jade.

After a sound of “Pi Li Pa La”, it fell into the water.

In a rapid sequence, Yuan Zhou picked up the crystal rod sent to him by the waiter just now.

While he was shaking the basin clockwise and making the vortex appear with one hand, he stirred the Jinling Grass with the crystal rod lightly with the other.

His actions were light, but nevertheless fully washed every piece of Jinling Grass.

In the end, Yuan Zhou moved the Jinling Grass out with the crystal rod again. It was then covered with a layer of water mist.

“It’s done.” Yuan Zhou said that in no more than 3 minutes.

He looked up at the crowds and found the banquet hall was lost in absolute silence. They basically hadn’t reacted yet.

“I like to wash the vegetables in this way. It is quite rare.” Yuan Zhou said with a seemingly shy expression.

On hearing that, the chefs on site wanted to say nothing but a simple “Ho Ho”.

“The vegetables could surprisingly be washed this way. Then what is that when we are washing it before?” A chef couldn’t help muttering.

“It’s devastation.” Master Cheng answered fluently.
