Chapter 840 - What A Fast Knife (1/2)

“Hey, doesn’t this master look familiar?” Bai Guo asked.

“What?” Jiang Meisi did not notice anything.

“Yes, kind of,” Li He felt the same as Bai Guo.

“Hey, I know. Wasn’t he the one fighting with us to get the lead story on the Southeast Asia Cooking Master Evaluation?” Bai Guo suddenly said.

“Yes, exactly,” Li He recalled it now.

“Cooking evaluation?” Jiang Meisi was still clueless.

“Back then, both I and Bai Guo had a variety show that was very popular. But since this person was one of the commenters at the Southeast Asia Cuisine Competition held in Vietnam, with his sharp comments, he gained even more views than us on Weibo. I never expected to see him here,” Li He said, finding this hard to believe.

This was truly hard to believe. Back then, Bai Guo and Li He had a slightly negative interaction that was intentionally being put on the spotlight by the producers to gain more views. Suddenly, this Master Cheng came out of nowhere and surpassed their views with his sharp comments on the difference between Chinese Cuisine and the cuisines of other countries.

Ultimately, it was discovered that this person was, in fact, a rather popular chef in the country and had once represented the country to a food exchange activity abroad.

It was truly a surprise that a person like this was learning here. Moreover, from how respectful he was toward Yuan Zhou, it was clear he had completely submitted to Yuan Zhou.

“A person like that is learning how to cook here?” Jiang Meisi found that hard to believe.

After all, for them, a person lauded as a master in his own right like this would have his pride. How could he be here learning from Yuan Zhou? Moreover, he was learning with a submissive and deferential attitude.

One ought to know that during a past show when they filmed an episode regarding a wickerwork artist, that person was also known as a master. He had an extremely bad temper, and even during filming, he held nothing back towards them.

One could say that the master was simply doing what he wanted simply because of his talent. And yet here it was, a renowned chef was humbly and modestly learning. That was truly quite a surprise.

They rubbed their eyes, wondering if they had gotten the wrong person.

“Yes, Master Cheng has been here for quite a while. He has been trying to become Boss Yuan’s disciple but Boss Yuan keeps rejecting him,” said a customer proudly.

“Rejected?” The three looked at Yuan Zhou and Master Cheng with an odd gaze and silently increased Yuan Zhou’s status in their hearts.

“That is correct. I have yet to meet Master Yuan’s standards,” Master Cheng said. He had evidently overheard them.

“Cough, cough. Master Cheng, not even you met his standards?” Bai Guo choked on his breath when he heard Master Cheng’s words and asked curiously.

Master Cheng first gazed at Yuan Zhou respectfully, recalling the numerous cooking skills Yuan Zhou had once demonstrated before answering, “Yes, far from it.”

With this, they got even more confused on Yuan Zhou’s level. It would seem like they couldn’t stop being shocked. At first, they believed that Yuan Zhou was slightly inferior to Dean. But now, even Dean had acknowledged Yuan Zhou’s superiority.

“Master Cheng, can you tell us the simplest dish to learn here?” Li He was the one to first recover from his shock and asked.

“In the short time frame you have, it is impossible to learn Master Yuan’s cooking skills. But there is one thing you can try. By following the proper posture, you might be able to make something out of it,” Master Cheng said without holding anything back.

“What is it?” asked the three. Even Dean got curious.

“Watermelon Juice. Freshly squeezed Watermelon Juice,” Master Cheng said.

“Watermelon Juice? Yes! Why haven’t we thought of that? Beverages are probably the easiest to learn,” Bai Guo immediately said in excitement.

“True, making a Watermelon Juice is extremely easy,” Jiang Meisi nodded with a smile.
