Chapter 648 - Renown Throughout The Province (1/2)

Zhou Shijie’s laugh instantly made the crowd unable to say anything. And Chairman Masheng felt so mentally tired that he didn’t want to speak anymore.

Yuan Zhou had pushed the Sino-Japan exchange meeting into its most heated atmosphere. After Tengyuan left, the atmosphere returned to normal gradually.

At that time, the exchange meeting had been half completed. All the reporters and gourmet reviewers had almost tasted all chefs’ dishes.

Since it was no longer so busy, many chefs began to taste each other’s dishes. So did the two “rivals”.

“Here’s my creative dish cooked just now.”

Just when Yuan Zhou straightened up and pretended to be a prince charming, there suddenly came a plate from the side.

It was an exquisite plate. The plate was transparent and grass green like the azure stone. There was a piece of square steak on it.

What was special about the steak was that half had been fried golden yellow while the other half had reddish fat had beautiful marbling patterns. It looked fresh and juicy. Correct, that part was the raw steak.

Beside the steak were some fresh condiments, which contained some cold fragrance. The plate presentation was vivid and bright-colored, Just looking at it whetted one’s appetite.

“Looks fairly good.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head affirmatively.

“Of course.” Chu Xiao appeared proud as if saying whatever he cooked was obviously great.

“What I’m saying is this triangular-stemmed garlic is really not bad. The taste is like both the green onion and the garlic. And it’s fairly good to use it to decorate the dish and remove the offensive smell,” Yuan Zhou raised his head and took a look at Chu Xiao and then said earnestly.

The triangular-stemmed garlic mentioned by Yuan Zhou had a corymb. The white flower was similar to the lily, but nevertheless had a green primary vein, which made it appear more refreshing.

“Of course. It’s specially prepared and comes from the greenhouse.” Chu Xiao straightforwardly talked about the flowers, not feeling embarrassed at all.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head. Then, he took up the fork and started to eat it.

Yuan Zhou had never wasted food all along. Even the decorations and other things in the plate were eaten up by him as long as they were edible.

Therefore, the plate was very clean.

“The taste seems to be great,” Chu Xiao looked at the clean plate and said directly.

“Not bad.” It was rare that Yuan Zhou didn’t counteract his words. Instead, he nodded his head.

While Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao were tasting each other’s dish, other chefs at the side nevertheless looked at them frequently. However, they didn’t have the nerve to come over to join them and eat together.

After all, both of them had great craftsmanship. Therefore, neither of them dared to say anything for an instant.

However, the reporters at the side didn’t have such apprehensions. They straightforwardly started a discussion.

“Haha. Remember what I said? That old guy is nothing special. Boss Yuan is more awesome.” Old Li revealed an expression of “I have already expected this result.”

“Exactly. He’s from our hometown, Chengdu. Boss Yuan is already quite well-known in Chengdu,” Old Xu also said proudly at the side as if there were something to do with him.

“Leaving other things aside, it seems to be the very first time that Tengyuan was made speechless by others, doesn’t it?” The full-beard reporter sought to prove that smilingly.

“That’s right. This Tengyuan has been to China twice in total to attend the exchange meetings. In the first one, he ate only one dish but nevertheless criticized the chef so much that the chef almost wanted to remove his chef’s hat on site. He’s really sharp-tongued.” The middle-aged reporter was on the scene. Speaking of that, he was still indignant.

“So what? He’s always right when he comments on the dishes. Even our chairman must call him professor politely,” A younger reporter from Shanghai Daily got to the point.

“No, no, no. This time is different. Look at our Boss Yuan. He directly made that old guy have nothing to say by cooking a simple Steamed Rice With Japanese Grenadier Anchovy.” Old Li didn’t have any mustache. If he had, he would probably have stroked his mustaches and showed off for a while.
