Chapter 1510: Famous knife skills France
Chu Xiao’s video had sound. After all, this video was the one that was shot when Yuan Zhou was communicating with other chefs.
As soon as Chu Xiao pressed the button, the video started to play smoothly.
The originally noisy banquet quieted down instantly. After all, with what Chu Xiao had said just now, everyone also wanted to see what kind of cutting skill they couldn’t do.
In fact, not every foreign chef could reach the peak of cutting skills. After all, there was a special chopping method for cutting vegetables, and foreign chefs also followed the rule of doing their own thing well.
However, as a master chef, his cutting skills were naturally not bad, even if foreign chefs did not pay much attention to cutting skills.
For example, ogyust’s cutting skills were pretty good. For example, if a customer wanted 200 grams of steak and 35 grams of side dishes, then after his refinement, the steak would be exactly 200 grams, and the vegetarian dishes would be 35 grams without weighing.
Precision was also one of the aspects of knife skills.
And what was the video playing? That was Yuan Zhou’s ultimate cutting skill. Even hang Tian, the master of Huaiyang cuisine, couldn’t help but go to his door to have an exchange with him.
And what was the pinnacle of knife skills? No one could say for sure. In fact, many dishes could show knife skills, such as the squirrel Pomfret in Jiangsu dishes, the hot dried shredded pork in Huaiyang dishes, the Tengchong thin slices, and even the pheasant rolls.
It was something that everyone was familiar with, such as threading needles with tofu and Chinese cucumber salad, which could be used to test one’s knife skills.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t do that in the video. He was cutting the beef, the thin and translucent translucent translucent translucent beef slices.
Yes, cut, not slice.
When cutting a large piece of meat, such as cheyvilya ham, everyone used a knife to carefully cut the opening and then slowly cut out a complete thin piece.
Yuan Zhou held the whole piece of beef shank with his left hand and cut it with a silver knife in his right hand. During the process, he didn’t hesitate at all and used his strength ingeniously. The cut beef was so smooth that there were no faults at all. On the beef that fell down slowly, there were only the continuous texture of the beef itself, but no traces of being cut by a knife.
This single cut stunned all the chefs present. It was impossible to cut such a large piece of beef in one go. It must be moved left and right to generate a pulling force and quickly cut it off.
However, Yuan Zhou held the knife firmly and cut straight down at a very fast speed. He didn’t even squeeze the meat before he finished the cut.
The texture of the cut was also complete and beautiful. The photographer was also an experienced person, so he directly gave the beef a close-up.
The crowd looked at the close-up of the beef and couldn’t help but gasp.
“This chef’s control of strength is really ingenious.” Auguste could not help but exclaim in admiration.
“There’s more,” Chu Xiao crossed his arms in front of his chest and said indifferently.
“Yes.” August had already put away his slight dissatisfaction and was instead watching Yuan Zhou cutting vegetables in the video seriously.
The slight sound of the knife touching the air was particularly obvious in the quiet banquet hall.
Everyone watched as Yuan Zhou continued to work. In just a little while, the chopping board was filled with a row of beef slices. Moreover, each slice was of the same size and cut in the same way. The palm-sized beef slices were just piled together.
But when the camera gave a close-up, a chef couldn’t help but say,””Every piece is the same. There’s not a single extra cut. This is incredible.”
Someone’s words broke the silence, and immediately, others followed suit and started discussing.
“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this is a complete piece of beef tendon. The size of the beef tendon is clearly different, but the meat on the chopping board is the size of a palm. Every piece is the same.”
“I’ve already discovered it. ” A chef nodded seriously.
“How did you do that? Even a machine can’t make it so perfect. “
“Of course the machine can ‘t. Look at this person, he uses different amounts of force every time he cuts the beef. That’s why there aren’t any imprints or cuts on the beef. How can the machine do that?”
“His control of his own strength is simply abnormal.”
All the chefs present stared at Yuan Zhou in the video while exclaiming from time to time. Their voices were quite loud, which made August discontented.
“Be quiet.” Ogyust said in a voice that was neither loud nor soft, and the scene instantly fell silent.
At that time, Yuan Zhou said something in the video. Chu Xiao considerately translated it in French,””This head chef Yuan said that this dish is a simple salad. It’s not difficult to cook.”
Auguste looked at Yuan Zhou’s expression in the video and then at Chu Xiao’s indifferent expression. He couldn’t help sighing,””Huaxia is indeed an ancient place. Geniuses either don’t appear, or they must be the best.”
The video wasn’t long. After a while, the translucent beef was finished. It was hung on a small railing on a plate with a fire lit below. The beef was drizzled with bright red oil and slowly dripped down. The white sesame seeds made the dish look delicious.
The cameraman obviously wanted everyone to suffer the torture of being unable to eat, so he took a full picture of the dish.
Everyone swallowed their saliva.
The better a chef was, the more he could tell the difficulty of the dish and how it tasted.
Some chefs had even imitated the taste of this dish in their mouths, which was commonly known as drooling.
“No, I don’t believe it. It’s just knife skills. What’s so important about knife skills? the most important thing is the taste.” The brown-haired middle-aged chef saw that everyone was immersed in the taste of the dish, and he instantly broke out in cold sweat and loudly interrupted everyone’s imagination.
This sharp voice immediately brought everyone back to their senses. However, regardless of whether the chefs present discriminated against the Chinese or not, they were even more dissatisfied with the brown-haired chef who had no manners at all. They frowned and looked at him in unison.
It was as if that brown-haired chef was some comical clown.
However, Chu Xiao didn’t even spare him a glance. Fortunately, this banquet was held by August, so he naturally had to show up.
“Not only did you make the mistake of being short-sighted, but you’ve also lost your demeanor. A chef not only needs to have high culinary skills, but also a sincere devotion to cooking. Obviously, you don’t have any of that.” Auguste looked at him with disappointment.
“No, no, no, Mr. Auguste is not like that, No…” The brown-haired chef looked at Auguste in shock, shaking his head repeatedly in denial.
“I don’t want to see you at any of my future banquets. Please leave immediately.” Auguste did not give him a chance to explain and said directly.
“No, you can’t do this, you can’t…” The brown-haired chef immediately stared at Auguste in disbelief.
It must be known that Auguste’s expulsion was not ordinary. What was his status? He was the winner of ROF and had a high reputation in the France cooking industry. When he said that he did not want to see him at any of his banquets in the future, it basically meant that he had no chance of getting any higher.
After all, Auguste had said that he didn’t want to see him again. Who would invite him in the future? no one wanted to offend Chu Xiao and Auguste for no reason.
In fact, the restaurant he was currently working at might even fire him after some time. This was the reality.
“No, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was wrong. Chu, I’m sorry.” Thinking of the consequences, the brown-haired chef kept calling Chu Xiao even if he was held up by the security guards.
“You should apologize to him.” Chu Xiao tilted his head and pointed at Yuan Zhou on the screen.
“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Yuan Zhou. ” While nervous, the brown-haired chef read Yuan Zhou’s name correctly.
However, it was obviously meaningless to apologize now, because he was quickly taken away by the security guards.
“Many thanks.” Chu Xiao nodded his head to thank Auguste. This time, he didn’t even spare a glance for that brown-haired chef.
“You’re welcome. He deserves it for offending two master chefs.” Auguste continued to watch the video with a fervent gaze.
Chu Xiao had already started to play the next video of Yuan Zhou’s exchange. Nobody knew where he got so many videos of Yuan Zhou in his phone.
Obviously, the two people Auguste was referring to were Chu Xiao and Yuan Zhou.
Obviously, Auguste was a master chef with good judgment. Just by watching the video, he knew that Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills were extraordinary. He even had the intention to go to China to have a look.
This was the joy of meeting a worthy opponent, even if this person was not cooking French food.
