Chapter 772 - Are You Fooling Me? (2/2)
“Whose restaurant is it?” Ji Yi took a look at Liu Zhang in a disbelieving manner. Then, he pointed at the restaurant and asked directly.
“You definitely know the boss. This young man is pretty awesome. He’s a genius.” Liu Zhang directly praised even before he told the details.
“Who is it?” said Ji Yi.
“This is the Master Chef Restaurant, of which the boss is Yuan Zhou, the one who’s very famous recently,” Liu Zhang said confidently.
As soon as he heard the name, Ji Yi believed that Liu Zhang wasn’t kidding with him this time. After all, he had also heard of Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship.
“I heard of Yuan Zhou before from the chairman of the Chef’s Alliance. He’s quite an awesome young chef. And he did it well on the matter with Tengyuan last time.” Ji Yi nodded his head and then said. How could he not know such a popular chef as Yuan Zhou?
“So now you believe that I’m not fooling you, right?” said Liu Zhang.
“No. I know he’s indeed talented in cooking and his culinary skills are much better than his peers or even the older generation. But speaking of cooking steamed buns or Mantou, I don’t think I am inferior to him,” Ji Yi said with a self-confident tone.
“You are still reluctant to admit that, aren’t you? Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship is just brilliant. And his Mantou is indeed more delicious than yours,” said Liu Zhang earnestly.
“This little brat is so young and is already so good at cooking other dishes. How could he possibly have time to learn and make Mantou or steamed buns? Remember, I have been making the Thousand Thread Mantou for decades.” Ji Yi didn’t really believe that Yuan Zhou could cook better than him.
“Some people are geniuses and you will never understand how. Anyway, the Thousand Thread Mantou cooked by this little brat is indeed very authentic,” Liu Zhang said affirmatively.
“Okay. I can wait a week for him. I don’t believe that he’s better than. Even if he began to learn cooking before he was born, his experience isn’t as rich as mine.” Ji Yi decided to wait for one week for Yuan Zhou and then turned to leave.
“No problem. This guy always keeps his word. He will come back one week later.” Liu Zhang nodded his head continuously.
“But we must come early by then. Otherwise, we probably can’t even see Yuan Zhou.” Liu Zhang walked and said.
“I know. This guy cooks so well and deserves such treatment. I’ll try his craftsmanship then.” Ji Yi answered.
Meanwhile, Yuan Zhou had no idea of that as he was now in Thailand. He was trying to refuse a sauce that smelled not so pleasant.
The matter was very simple. That short waiter had truly understood Yuan Zhou’s meaning and then brought hot water for them. In order to thank Yuan Zhou, the old couples seated behind insist they sit together with him. Then, the grandma began to introduce a kind of specialty sauce from Thailand enthusiastically and wanted to add it for Yuan Zhou.
The sauce was a kind of brown paste and was in a big plastic bottle. Even before it was opened, it emitted a kind of mixed scent including citronella grass, lemon, holy basil, and tender ginger as well as peppermint.
It was simply a challenge for his nose.
“Thank you, grandma. I don’t really like the taste of the sauce.” Yuan Zhou refused flatly.
“No, you must taste it. This is the specialty sauce used for eating beef with from Thailand. You must add a little more lemon. The tourist guide taught us to eat like that. It’s supposed to be very tasty.” While saying that, the grandma prepared half a bowl of sauce for him.
“Thank you, grandma. That’s enough.” Yuan Zhou signaled to the grandma continuously.
He felt that his nose would soon stop working.
“How persistent exactly are the Thailanders to using spices?” Yuan Zhou stared at the sauce in the bowl and counted the dozens of spices of which the taste contradicted each other in his heart carefully.
