According to Yuan Zhous usual practice, the first thing to be served at his banquet was naturally the appetizing dishes or drinks.
As it was a large-scale banquet, Yuan Zhou also served the appetizer fruit juice for dinner. However, this time, he didnt use the horn juice but another special product of Yunnan-goat milk Fruit.
Goat milk Fruit used to be wild in Yunnan, but now it had been planted. The wild fruits were slightly smaller, while the planted ones were larger.
The cultivated goats milk Fruit was huge, its Color purple-red and bright, and the taste was less bitter than the wild ones.
Therefore, what Yuan Zhou chose was naturally the goat milk Fruit that had been optimized and cultivated carefully.
The goats milk juice, which had been squeezed and had a little bit of flesh on it, was served to every guest. An extremely sour smell was inhaled into the tip of their noses, making them instantly start to salivate.
This one is special. Ive been to China for so many times, but this is the first time Ive seen one. The Prince of Thailand said curiously as he held the crystal gla.s.s and looked at the purple-red juice.
The Chinese official in charge of receiving the foreign guests was also one of the top officials in the capital, known as Minister qu.
He heard department head Hao say with a smile,China is a vast country with a wide variety of fruits. This is a special fruit from Yunnan. It has never been to a state banquet, so you naturally dont know about it.
Thats right. This time, it was Minister Hao who came to receive these people, not anyone else, because these people had specifically explained that this was not an official national event, but a private tour.
Because of the repeatedly emphasized reasons, Beijing naturally understood, but the reception couldnt be sloppy, so they let Minister Hao and he Zhenghong from the Asia-Pacific economic exchange come to Chengdu together.
This showed the importance of the Chinese side, but it was not as serious as a state banquet. It was a win-win situation, and the atmosphere at the table was still very relaxed.
We also have this there, but its sour and not very delicious. The Vice President of Vietnam obviously didnt have a good relations.h.i.+p with Minister Hao, so he said directly.
Perhaps its just an ordinary dish, but I believe that it will definitely be very delicious after being cooked by head chef Yuan. The Prince of Thailand obviously liked Yuan Zhou very much and said earnestly.
Thats right. We have all tried head chef Yuans culinary skills at the last exchange meeting. He Zhenghong, the person in charge of the Asia-Pacific Exchange, said.
Prince, you might be right. We can try. The cabinet minister of the j.a.panese side chimed in and then directly raised his cup.
Then, I wont be polite. The Prince of Thailand gestured to the people at the table, then also picked up his cup and drank.
The food in Thailand was sweet, sour, spicy, and sweet. It also had a strong flavor of spices. It could be said to be a compound taste.
Now, when the Thailand Prince drank the goats milk juice in one gulp, an extremely sour taste immediately occupied all the taste buds in his mouth. He could not help but frown, but soon his brows relaxed, because a light sweetness followed the sour taste and brushed the tip of his tongue.
The sour and sweet taste instantly stimulated his mouth, and a large amount of saliva began to be secreted in his mouth. The taste slowly entered his stomach, and the Thailand Prince instantly felt his appet.i.te increase. A feeling of wanting to eat a big meal instantly rushed to his mind.
Oh, Im so hungry. The Prince of Thailand was the first to speak, and the other people at the table also had the same expression.
Even the famous Thailand chef who had a good relations.h.i.+p with the Prince couldnt help but swallow his saliva and say,This is truly amazing.
Indeed. Appetizing was something that every chef could do. However, it was the first time that they had seen someone like Yuan Zhou who could produce an immediate effect after drinking a cup of drink.
Therefore, the way the famous Thailand chefs looked at Yuan Zhou was almost the same as the way das.h.i.+ xiujie looked at Yuan Zhou.
At that time, Yuan Zhous main course was just served. It was the Rose Sugar fried chicken that he had mentioned in the afternoon.
The tray that the waiter served was in the shape of a snow-white crescent moon. On one end of the crescent moon was a three-dimensional transparent rose. The dark red color was very beautiful, and on the other end was an even larger, crystal-clear rose.
The bright rose looked as if it had been watered with crystals, s.h.i.+ning under the light with a beautiful rose color.
Upon closer inspection, there was the fragrance of real roses, and on the other side, the three-dimensional and slightly transparent dark red roses had a sweet fruit fragrance.
The two roses were at the two ends of the crescent moon, and it was as if two flowers of different shapes and sizes had bloomed on the snow-white crescent moon. It was a beautiful sight.
Its so beautiful, The Thailand Prince said, but he swallowed his saliva without a trace.
Yes, it looked very beautiful, but the Prince of Thailand really wanted to eat it. However, no one had moved their chopsticks yet. He also wanted to maintain the dignity of the royal family.
He couldnt possibly be the one to raise his chopsticks and eat first all day.
Oh my G.o.d, Prince, where are you looking? The famous chef next to the Prince of Thailand saved him, and his surprised voice was heard.
Because this voice was not a whisper, and everyones seat was equipped with a simultaneous translator in addition to the accompanying translator, everyone looked at the place that the famous chef had mentioned.
That was exactly where Yuan Zhou was.
Yuan Zhou was seen waving a vegetable knife in each of his hands on the two well-roasted chickens.
Clang, clang, clang. Even though they were at least 15 meters away, everyone could hear the sound of the knife cutting through the air.
As Yuan Zhou slightly raised his wrist and waved the knife, the chicken was sliced into pieces and stacked on the plate below.
The chicken slices on the plate were arranged into the perfect rose shape according to the different positions of Yuan Zhous knife, which was exactly the same as the Rose Sugar fried chicken in front of them.
Obviously, these were cut off by Yuan Zhou in the same way.
What an amazing knife skill. The cabinet ministers of the j.a.panese side couldnt help but exclaim.
The cabinet minister asked das.h.i.+ xiujie in j.a.panese in a low voice,can you do it? das.h.i.+ xiujie quickly shook his head. Even tengyuan couldnt do it.
Of course, the cabinet ministers didnt dare to ask tengyuan, let alone das.h.i.+ xiujie.
Its amazing. The Vice-President of Vietnam sighed.
This is the cutting technique of our Chinese cooking. Head chef Yuans cutting technique is indeed superb. Department head Hao explained with an indifferent expression.
He looked as if any Chinese chef could do it so easily. No one could be as calm as him when it came to acting cool.
Indeed, cutting skills are very important in our Chinese cooking. Even he Zhenghong felt honored in her heart, but she also chimed in with Minister Qus words with a faint smile on her face.
Im really looking forward to the taste of this dish. The Prime Minister of Fiji looked at his plate in antic.i.p.ation.
Yes. Why dont we start tasting it? The Prince of Thailand took the opportunity to suggest. He paused for a moment before he continued,After all, this is head chef Yuans personal cooking exhibition. Eating it in time is a form of respect for him.
Yes, I am. Everyone present agreed with this.
After nodding, they picked up their chopsticks or forks and prepared to start eating.
Seeing that his attention had been diverted, the Thailand chef breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Thai Prince did not ask him if he could do the knife skill just now.
How could that kind of knife skill be achieved by human hands!
In the hearts of the Thailand chefs, Yuan Zhou was indeed a human, but his hands were not human hands.
The layman watched the show while the expert watched the tricks. On one side, the politicians were amazed by Yuan Zhous gorgeous and beautiful knife skills, while on the other side, the people in the cooking circle were really amazed by Yuan Zhous cooking skills.
There were really not many people on the scene who could slice the chicken so quickly at the same time and ensure that the shape and the size of the meat slices were the same. This was no longer a precision, but a peak performance of culinary skills.
This is really a cooking exhibition worth coming to. Auguste sighed.
Dont worry, its only the first day. Francis squinted his eyes as he ate the chicken slice and said contentedly.
Fortunately, its only the first day. I feel that time has pa.s.sed a little too quickly. Manfeld couldnt help but ask.
Thats right. Auguste nodded, agreeing with Manfeld.
Theres a reason why invitations are so rare. Its only right. Salomon, who had not said a word since he had sat here, finally spoke.
Because this is a feast. Looking at Yuan Zhou, Chu Xiaos hands couldnt help trembling slightly.
Of course, Chu Xiao was totally excited. He wanted to have a real compet.i.tion with Yuan Zhou.
