Chapter 647 - Attraction Of The Japanese Grenadier Anchovy (2/2)
Even if Dashi Xiujie was very worried, he was nevertheless quite respectful when he talked to Tengyuan, but the expectant look on his face was still plainly visible.
He just waited for Tengyuan to say some defects so that he could get revenge for the humiliation in Japan last time.
“What do you think?” Dashi Xiujie looked at Tengyuan expectantly.
“Humph.” Tengyuan put down the bowl and spoon and then turned around and prepared to leave.
“What’s the matter with you?” For an instant, Dashi Xiujie was a little muddled. He didn’t realize what happened and thus asked subconsciously.
“You talk too much,” said Tengyuan in Japanese. After saying that, he prepared to leave.
“Professor Tengyuan, what’s your opinion?” At that time, Yuan Zhou asked.
The way Yuan Zhou spoke was bland and calm as if he were chatting casually, but it also failed to show restraint. Obviously, he wouldn’t allow Tengyuan to exit so easily after he looked down on his craftsmanship so frankly.
The contemptuous remarks were still lingering in Yuan Zhou’s ears. It Tengyuan wanted to teach him a lesson as an elder, he must pay the price.
“I have no opinions,” Tengyuan turned his head and stared at Yuan Zhou for a while before he said that clearly.
Yuan Zhou asked, “So is that your best remark?”
Tengyuan didn’t deny that. Those who were familiar with him all knew that he gave tacit consent if he didn’t deny anything.
Looking at Tengyuan’s face turn deathly pale, Yuan Zhou felt quite comfortable although he appeared very calm. To these arrogant people, he was never kind.
Yuan Zhou’s heart was like a matchstick man who took hold of the ears of a toy rabbit and threw it on the ground repeatedly and strongly while shouting, “Just posture in the face of me”, “Keep posturing” and “Don’t posture before I do.”
Tengyuan prepared to leave.
Just when all people thought it would end like that, Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of something.
“So you think the dish is perfect?” Yuan Zhou asked again as if he were not swayed by Tengyuan’s conceding defeat at all.
Tengyuan had to stop walking though he had taken a step forward. He really didn’t want to bring out the word “perfect” in the face of the crowd. Under the watchful eyes of the people, however, he felt as if he were being roasted on the fire. Then, he had to say, “Perfect.”
“Well, okay.” Yuan Zhou didn’t feel very delighted. Instead, he heaved a sigh. ”
He suddenly remembered that he was still an intermediate chef regarded by the system, so he didn’t believe that his dish was really faultless. If this professor could say something valuable, he had probably made some progress without the system.
Now that Tengyuan had such favorable comments, the Steamed Rice with Japanese Grenadier Anchovy was already beyond Tengyuan’s capabilities to taste it with his sharp tongue.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou sighed because he had lost an opportunity to make some progress. He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
However, the people around him became rather uneasy with this behavior. Everybody revealed an astonished and speechless manner including the chefs and reporters at the side.
“Chairman Masheng, it seems the new generations are excelling the old ones. This young person has learned cooking for no more than 3 years and he’s still so young now. We are getting old.” Zhou Shijie reacted first. He said with a smile on his face.
“Ho Ho.” Chairman Masheng had nothing to say but smile speechlessly. In the mind, however, he scolded secretly, “Damn it, with your ability to cook well and your great talents to cook such a dish that even Tengyuan Jiayuan thinks perfect, why are you sighing for?”
What necessity was there to heave a sigh at that time?
Furthermore, you can sigh as much as you want, but why did you pretend to be so disappointed?
Of course, Tengyuan was the one that got angriest among these people. He heard Yuan Zhou’s sigh personally and thus felt as if he had been hit heavily in his chest by somebody with an invisible hammer. He left immediately in displeasure and didn’t intend to eat other dishes anymore.
He was so angry that he almost wanted to spit blood. Tengyuan had made up his mind not to attend the exchange meetings held in China anymore, especially the ones that Yuan Zhou would take part in.
“Why is Jiayuan so mild this time? Are this chef’s culinary skills really so good?”
“Why is this Chinese chef so awesome?”
“Awesome! He’s really a talented chef.”
The Japanese reporters felt both surprised and puzzled while looking at Yuan Zhou. Besides, they just couldn’t believe that.
After all, the position of Tengyuan Jiayuan was achieved on the basis of many other chefs’ tears of blood. In the chef industry, many people even changed their occupation after they were criticized by him. It could be clearly seen from that how sharp-tongued and strict he was.
“Chairman Masheng, do you want to try Little Yuan’s craftsmanship?” Zhou Shijie simply wanted to seize the opportunity and show off again.
“No need. It’s they who come to exchange pointers. We can just watch,” Chairman Masheng refused flatly.
“Haha. You are right. Okay, let’s go to other places to have a look. There’s nothing worth watching over here. After all, Prof. Tengyuan has admitted defeat.” Zhou Shijie laughed out and then he turned around and left.
“We rarely see Jiayuan appreciate anybody so much.” Chairman Masheng tried to regain face.
“Ho Ho.” It was Zhou Shijie’s turn to laugh like that this time.
