“Hey, doesn’t this master look familiar?” Bai Guo asked.
“What?” Jiang isi did not notice anything.
“Yes, kind of,” Li He felt the sa 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 isi 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 comnters at the Southeast Asia Cuisine Competition held in Vietnam, with his sharp comnts, 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 ca out of nowhere and surpassed their views with his sharp comnts 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 isi 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 fild an episode regarding a wickerwork artist, that person was also known as a master. He had an extrely 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 beco Boss Yuan’s disciple but Boss Yuan keeps rejecting him,” said a custor 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 et Master Yuan’s standards,” Master Cheng said. He had evidently overheard them.
“Cough, cough. Master Cheng, not even you t 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 nurous 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 ti fra 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 sothing out of it,” Master Cheng said without holding anything back.
“What is it?” asked the three. Even Dean got curious.
“Waterlon Juice. Freshly squeezed Waterlon Juice,” Master Cheng said.
“Waterlon Juice? Yes! Why haven’t we thought of that? Beverages are probably the easiest to learn,” Bai Guo imdiately said in excitent.
“True, making a Waterlon Juice is extrely easy,” Jiang isi nodded with a smile.
“We should be able to complete this mission,” Li He nodded in relief.
“Are you saying that Chef Yuan squeezes Waterlon Juice in a different manner as well?” Dean asked as he acutely noticed sothing when he saw Master Cheng’s expression.
“Of course. Everything made by Master Yuan, even if it’s a simple Waterlon Juice, will be different than others,” Master Cheng said.
“How different can it be?” Bai Guo asked.
True. It was just a Waterlon Juice. After slicing the waterlon and putting them through the blender, the Waterlon Juice would be completed. What kind of difference could there be in sothing like this?
“It might be different after all,” Jiang isi said when she recalled how Yuan Zhou washed his rice grains.
“I wonder what’s the difference?” Li He probed cautiously.
“Master Yuan is making one soon. You can see it yourselves,” Master Cheng was always paying attention to Yuan Zhou even when speaking to others. He quickly told them to look at Yuan Zhou.
This ti, it was not an arrangent of Jiang isi and the others. Rather, it was a custor that had ordered a Waterlon Juice.
“How lucky am I to be able to drink Waterlon Juice at night,” the custor rejoiced.
It was understandable why that custor was rejoicing. Yuan Zhou’s Waterlon Juice had a limited amount. Let alone now, even during Chinese New Year period when the weather was cold, the Waterlon Juice would be finished by the ti night arrived.
The three felt like they had been given a pillow when they were sleepy. Right as they were asking about Waterlon Juice, they got a chance to witness it.
“Co, go nearer and see how Boss Yuan makes his Waterlon Juice,” Li He called the others over.
“Ok,” Bai Guo and Jiang isi answered and walked forward.
The speed Yuan Zhou used to make Waterlon Juice was much faster than when he was cooking rice.
Li He, Bai Guo, Jiang isi and Dean watched on as Yuan Zhou took out a waterlon. Li He muttered that this waterlon looked like it was of good quality with how llow and full it looked.
With a swish, a glint flashed by the air. A fist-sized circular incision appeared on the waterlon. Before Li He and the others could praise how nice the insides looked, they saw Yuan Zhou aiming his knife from an extrely odd angle. And with a couple of waves, a cylindrical waterlon appeared before them.
This cylindrical waterlon was the innermost part of the original waterlon. It looked like a glossy and sleek ruby pillar. Silently, it rested on the plate. Next, Yuan Zhou squeezed a glass of fresh Waterlon Juice out of it.
The red Waterlon Juice looked extrely pretty in the glass. On the surface of the glass, a tiny layer of white mist was drifting about. The entire appearance of this Waterlon Juice looked incredibly enticing. And coupled with the fresh sll of waterlon, one would find this glass of juice hard to resist.
The entire process lasted less than two minutes, and it only took this long because of the traditional manual squeezing thod Yuan Zhou used.
More importantly, Yuan Zhou was using the sa kitchen knife for the entire process. This was their source of astonishnt.
How had he fitted such a large kitchen knife into the small incision to cut out such a smooth cylindrical piece of waterlon?
“In the past, when I saw on TV how people only needed to wave their knife in the air to finish cutting all the ingredients, I found that hard to believe. After seeing how Chef Yuan handles his waterlon, I have to start believing it,” Bai Guo mumbled.
“That is too fast,” Jiang isi wrinkled her nose with an anxious look on her face as she wasn’t able to get a clear look.
“True, it’s quite fast,” Li He was still blanking out as he only saw the knife flickering around and the waterlon was already cut.
This mission was simply making their lives hard. They were celebrities, not chefs. How could they handle a knife like this?
