2703 The heart of a chef
Seriously speaking, the tofu pudding cooked by mo Zhao was even more delicious than the first time he came here. The results were completely different. First, it was because Yuan Zhou’s own cooking skills were better than before. Second, it was because he had read all the cuisines in the world and his vision had been broadened. His tongue had become more sensitive and his requirements had become higher. Thus, it was naturally different.
This was Yuan Zhou’s judgment from the point of view of a professional chef. The reason why Boss Tong said that mo Zhao’s cooking was delicious was that she felt the attentiveness.
Moreover, it was the best that mo Xiao could do. Not to mention that there was still room for improvement in mo Xiao’s cooking skills, he had already exhausted all his efforts to achieve this level.
Using all of his effort to cook every dish, working hard to do his best at the moment, and striving to bring a better dining experience to the diners was what a chef should do.
That was what Yuan Zhou had done at the beginning. Now, he was still cooking with his heart as always. However, as his skills became more and more excellent, his requirements for each dish also became more and more excellent. He had to be careful and have good craftsmanship. However, he had never thought that not every chef was like himself. As long as he could do his best, it was already the duty of a chef. This was the true heart of a chef.
It was a waste to pursue superb skills without thinking about the customers. Take mo Xiao as an example. His tofu pudding cooking skills might not be superb, but he had done every step with great sincerity. For ordinary customers, it was delicious.
“I understand.”
Yuan Zhou’s mind had never been as clear as it was now. It was not that he had forgotten to treat his customers with care, but that he had almost lost himself in the pursuit of more profound culinary skills. He had forgotten that as a chef, no matter if he was an ordinary chef or a master chef, his most essential responsibility was only to process the food into delicious food for everyone to taste.
Having figured out the original intention of the system to issue this mission, Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion in his heart. He had originally thought that he was quite strict with himself. He had never expected that he would have a deviation in his understanding if he didn’t pay attention.
Coincidentally, the system’s voice rang out in his head at this moment.”Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission. Would you like to receive the reward?”
It was also the system’s voice that woke Yuan Zhou up from his daze. His thoughts were flying. However, only a few minutes had passed. Although mo Qian didn’t get Yuan Zhou’s comment, he couldn’t help puffing out his chest when he heard boss Tong’s praise. He was full of spirit and vigor, like a rooster that had won a battle and was showing off its beautiful feathers and healthy figure.
“Mr. Mo’s tofu pudding is very good. The ingredients and water used are very appropriate, and the heat control is also very good. Of course, it would be good if it could be cooked just a minute earlier, it would be more tender and smooth.”
Yuan Zhou came back to his senses and stated the advantages and disadvantages of the tofu pudding made by mo Qian as a matter of fact. Of course, he was also telling the truth. Although it couldn’t meet Yuan Zhou’s requirements, it could be said that mo Qian had performed beyond his usual standard.
“Hahaha, since you all like it, then eat more.” Mo Yi grinned widely.
He also scooped a bowl of rice and the tofu pudding and sat opposite to Yuan Zhou to eat together. He said he would treat Yuan Zhou to the tofu pudding as a show of gratitude, but there was only the tofu pudding and the rice.
Of course, compared to the tofu pudding, the rice was not as good. However, mo Zhao still cooked it with great care.
For a moment, there was only the sound of the bowls and chopsticks colliding in the entire restaurant, which appeared particularly harmonious. Today, they were specially serving Yuan Zhou, so they didn’t open for business at all.
In addition, the surroundings were relatively remote and there were few people, so it was relatively quiet. There were only some withered branches that were blown by the winter wind. The treetops with only two or three dead leaves were instantly bare, and the dead leaves were blown back to their home on the earth.
After Yuan Zhou bade farewell to boss Tong and Mo Zhao and returned to his restaurant, it was almost time to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
Having no time to check the reward for the completion of the mission, Yuan Zhou took the lead to wash up and then devoted himself to cooking.
Having gained some enlightenment in his state of mind today, Yuan Zhou’s cooking became even more satisfactory. Although his actions didn’t seem fast, they passed in the blink of an eye, making him even more difficult to understand than before.
For example, Dean.
“Is it because I haven’t been here for half a month that head chef Yuan’s cooking skills have improved again?”
Dean had specially prepared a pair of glasses so that he could wear them when he came to the restaurant to watch Yuan Zhou cook. Usually, he felt that Yuan Zhou would be done before he could see his actions clearly, so he was quite confused.
Today, he had clearly seen Yuan Zhou’s actions clearly, but he was still very confused. This made him very speechless.
“You don’t understand it either? I’m at ease then. “
Moliere had thought that he had been infected by Dean’s shortsightedness and was thinking of bringing a high magnification scope or a magnifying glass to try it out next time. He did not expect to hear Dean’s words, and he immediately felt relieved.
Moliere, who had not been able to successfully become Dean’s apprentice, had always felt that Dean was the reason why he had not been able to succeed. As a result, he had been secretly competing with Dean, as if he would not succeed if he did not succeed.
It was very much like China ‘s’ it’s better to be happy together than to be happy alone ‘style, which was probably learned by himself after staying in China for a long time.
“Heh, what’s the use of being at ease? we still haven’t succeeded.” Dean was also someone who knew how to poke people’s wounds. He would really poke where it hurt.
“That’s still better than you. I managed to challenge Chu last time. Although I failed, I can definitely challenge Chu again after I successfully become his disciple.” Moliere said smugly.
One of the reasons why Moliere wanted to be Yuan Zhou’s disciple was definitely because Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills were really good, which was rare in the world. The other reason was that Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao were very familiar with each other. If he could successfully become Yuan Zhou’s disciple, he would be able to enjoy the benefits of being in a favorable position. He felt excited just thinking about defeating Chu Xiao with Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills.
Moreover, Chu Xiao had always regarded Yuan Zhou as his lifelong enemy. If he could learn Yuan Zhou’s skills, it might be easier for him to challenge him.
Moliere had seen Chu Xiao come to China’s Chengdu City several times before, even more frequently than when they met in France. He had made up his mind to insist on being Chu Xiao’s disciple, not to mention that he had really succeeded in the challenge.
Last time when Chu Xiao came to talk to Yuan Zhou about Akara’s meeting, Moliere also met him. At that time, Chu Xiao had just finished eating Yuan Zhou’s dishes and was in a good mood. Therefore, he agreed.
In the end, she was still brutally beaten by Chu Xiao. However, after careful comparison, she found that even if she hadn’t successfully acknowledged him as her master, she had still learned a lot under Yuan Zhou’s silent consent. As a result, she didn’t lose as badly as before.
At the same time, Dean, who had issued a challenge but was rejected by Chu Xiao, naturally became the target of Moliere’s ridicule.
If Moliere knew that Chu Xiao only agreed this time because he had just trimmed his hair and had always maintained a straight hair so as to avoid adding unnecessary seasoning to the ingredients, no one knew what he would think.
Perhaps Dean wanted to shave off his flowing mid-length hair, which had a small braid behind it.
The two of them didn’t know that and were still confused by Yuan Zhou’s sudden strength.
