Chapter 1375 (1/2)
Because of the information and praise disclosed by Hang Tian, Yuan Zhou exchanged greetings with hang Tian again, which began a new round of knife exchange.
As more and more dishes are exchanged, Hangtian's evaluation of Yuanzhou becomes higher and higher, because every dish cut by Yuanzhou is so appropriate and even.
Moreover, Hangtian can see that Yuanzhou knows every ingredient like the back of his hand. From where to start the knife to where to close the knife, every time is just right, no more, no more, no less, very appropriate.
”Lao Zhu is really at a loss. He should come to see chef yuan earlier.” Hangtian looked at Yuanzhou holding the knife and sighed again.
It's not that Hangtian overestimated Yuanzhou just by looking at Yuanzhou's knife work, but because knife work is actually one of the basic skills of chefs.
The importance of this basic knife work is beyond imagination. First of all, a dish needs exquisite knife work, and the cutting size of dishes should be consistent. In this way, when frying, it can ensure that each leaf or dish can be heated evenly, and the raw and cooked dishes are consistent when coming out of the pot together.
Yuan Daogong can be called as a simple art now.
Each cut vegetable is very beautiful and complete, whether taken out alone or combined. Even the texture of the cut vegetables is taken into account.
It's hard to say and imagine with an Internet proverb. This son is so terrible.
After all the dishes in the bamboo basket were cut, hang Tian couldn't help saying, ”is Xiao Yuan interested in participating in the selection of the state banquet this year?”
”Huh?” Yuan Zhou looked at Hangtian suspiciously.
”President Zhou didn't tell you?” Hang Tian asked.
”No.” Yuan Zhou shook his head.
Hangtian didn't expect that Yuanzhou didn't know at all, but he didn't think much about it. He just opened his mouth and said, ”every year, we will hold several state banquets in China. Some are to meet foreign envoys, and some are high-standard banquets for our national leaders and foreign leaders. Since it's a banquet, there's no shortage of food. This is a state banquet.”
”These state banquets have to be done by someone, right? As for who will do them, most of them are done by the chefs in the state banquet Hotel, but now some particularly excellent ones will also be featured. I've been there twice.” Hangtian road.
”But I remember that state banquet chefs now sign labor contracts, usually starting in five years.” Yuanzhou road.
”Yes, but as long as the political review is qualified and the family is innocent, it is also a kind of insight to understand the customs and food of various cuisine countries.” Hangtian road.
”And the state banquet needs a total of 160 chefs, and some places can be recommended. I can recommend chef yuan.” Hang Tian was very serious when he said this.
At first, hang Tian was a little impulsive when he asked, because he saw Yuanzhou's knife workers, and then had a love for talents. But the more he said, the more he felt that such an opportunity should be left to Yuanzhou's outstanding young people, so he became more and more sincere.
Yuan Zhou had some thoughts in his heart. He didn't answer immediately, but seriously thought about it before he solemnly opened his mouth.
”Thank you, but this state banquet is mainly based on Huaiyang cuisine. Now it has been painstakingly sorted, improved and refined by several generations of chefs. As far as I know, Sichuan cuisine is less hemp, spicy and greasy. All kinds of cuisines have been improved on the original basis. The menu is generally light, meat and vegetable. I'm not competent now.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and refused: ”I can't cook Huaiyang food now. It's far from enough.”
”That's not suitable for you. Forget about the recommended quota.” Hang Tian was not annoyed when he was rejected. Instead, he nodded after thinking carefully again and agreed with Yuan Zhou.
”Thank you, master hang.” Yuan Zhou thanked again.
”You're welcome. The opportunity belongs to a young man like you.” Hangtian road.
”I'll make lunch first. Wait a minute.” Yuan Zhou smiled mildly and didn't speak, then turned to say.
”OK, I'll wait to eat.” Hangtian road.
”Just a moment.” Yuan Zhou nodded.
Hangtian nodded at Yuanzhou, and then Yuanzhou went to the kitchen of the shop with the ingredients they had cut.
Hangtian watched Yuanzhou go far, and then sighed with emotion. Not to mention ordinary chefs, 99% of chefs heard the recommendation of the state banquet. I'm afraid they have to be hard no longer suitable, but Yuanzhou can clearly know that they are not suitable.
