Chapter 1529: Carving tofu
After tidying up the site, the three of them didn’t separate or go back immediately. It should be known that it was only a 10-minute walk from here to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
Therefore, the three of them went to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant in unison.
Usually, this was the time when Yin ya came to drink with Yuan Zhou. However, since Yin ya took a temporary leave, this time had been shifted to the evening.
Because of that, Yuan Zhou even sent Yin ya back to her home more often these days, increasing the time they spent together.
However, in the afternoon, Yuan Zhou was practicing his culinary skills with all his might. When the three of them arrived, Yuan Zhou was holding a vegetable knife in one hand and a piece of white and tender tofu in the other and practicing.
Recently, Yuan Zhou had been practicing sculpting soft objects. After all, he had come to an end in sculpting hard objects. Naturally, he should start practicing sculpting soft objects.
Yuan Zhou’s practice of sculpting tofu was different from others. Other chefs practiced in the water, but Yuan Zhou directly held the tofu in his hand and started with a vegetable knife.
Not only was it not as easy to borrow strength from the hand as water, but he also had to pay attention to the strength he used to hold the tofu so that it would not break.
At the beginning, it was quite easy to hold the whole piece of tofu. However, as the carving continued, some parts of the tofu were carved into fine pieces. At this time, it was simply impossible to touch it, as it would break once touched. However, Yuan Zhou still had to hold it under such circumstances.
At this time, it was necessary to test Yuan Zhou’s control of the subtle strength, eyesight, touch, and so on.
It was extremely difficult to carve a three-dimensional flower with tofu in one hand.
As soon as the three people arrived, they saw Yuan Zhou sculpting the tofu. Yin ya directly took a step forward and stopped Wu Yungui and Zhong Lili slightly, saying,””Let’s wait for a while,”
“He’s been practicing tofu sculpting recently, so he can’t be distracted. ” Yin ya explained.
Because Yin ya had deliberately lowered her voice, Wu Yungui and Zhong Lili didn’t say anything. They just nodded and stood still.
According to the novel, a Big Shot like Wu Yungui could earn millions of Yuan every minute. However, he just stood there and waited for Yuan Zhou for 15 minutes seriously.
15 minutes later, Yuan Zhou put the knife away and then turned the tofu in his hand over with rapt attention. The half-palm sized tofu in his hand directly slid into the wooden basin at the side.
When the tofu slid down, some small pieces slid to the edge of the wooden basin, and the rest slid into the wooden basin.
As soon as the tofu, which was originally unrecognizable, entered the wooden basin filled with clear water, it instantly bloomed like a flower. The tender white tofu stretched out, and it was obvious that it was a pure white water lotus.
The delicate white petals and the small soft pistil in the middle looked beautiful and cute. Looking at such a beautiful water lotus flower, the surrounding crowd couldn’t help but let out a small exclamation.
However, Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and then directly scooped it up and threw it into the jar at the side without looking at it. Instantly, the beautiful water lotus flower was smashed.
“Hiss, what a pity.” The surrounding crowd couldn’t help but say.
“Shh. Don’t talk. I guess boss Yuan thinks that the water lotus flower is not well sculpted.” Someone immediately stopped the onlookers.
“I think this water lotus flower is very beautiful, even more beautiful than a real flower. It blooms so softly in the water. It’s so beautiful, but there are no flaws.” The man said, unconvinced.
“What do you know? boss Yuan has high requirements for himself. You might think it’s good, but even if boss Yuan thinks he can do it well by 0.05, he will still redo it.” A man with black-rimmed glasses said seriously.
“In any case, I can’t tell. It’s already so beautiful. It’s such a pity to throw it away.” The man shook his head and sighed.
“That’s why I said you’re not a craftsman or a master like boss Yuan. ” The man with black-rimmed glasses replied.
The person who sighed didn’t refute this. Instead, he nodded and said,””That’s true. I can’t live an ascetic life like boss Yuan, who opens his restaurant every day and practices his cooking skills. “
“That’s right. My mom said that if I had the same determination, I could go to Tsinghua or Peking University. “
“Yes, yes, yes. My wife also said so. She said that if I wanted boss Yuan to have such self-control, my wealth would have long been comparable to er MA ‘s.”
Such voices rose and fell one after another. Everyone began to discuss Yuan Zhou’s perseverance.
Yuan Zhou’s daily schedule had been spread on the internet some time ago, followed by admiration and admiration.
It was not difficult to maintain such a journey and perseverance, but it was basically impossible.
As Yuan Zhou’s schedule was almost transparent, it was rare that no one came out to stir up trouble and doubt the truth of the matter.
“Yuan Zhou,” After Yuan Zhou finished sculpting and threw the water lotus flower to the ground, Yin ya spoke first.
“Eh? You’re here. ” Yuan Zhou immediately stood up and put down the vegetable knife in his hand and said gently.
“Yes. I went to see the venue with President Wu and Zhong Lili, so I came here on the way.” Yin ya said.
“I’ll have to trouble the two of you. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head slightly and thanked him.
“You’re welcome. This is what I should do. ” Zhong Lili said.
“I told you not to be so polite with me. My Food City is all thanks to you, boss Yuan.” Wu Yungui said with a smile.
“If it wasn’t because you didn’t want to, I would have worshiped you, boss Yuan. This is an authentic way to bring in wealth and treasure.” Wu Yungui continued.
“…” Yuan Zhou couldn’t help but imagine himself being worshipped according to Wu Yungui’s words. He was instantly speechless.
Seeing Yuan Zhou’s helpless look, Wu Yungui didn’t make any more jokes. Instead, he asked with a slightly serious expression,””Boss Yuan, when will you serve more dishes with wine? I’m barely surviving on the occasional wine.”
“I don’t have such plans recently.” Yuan Zhou said immediately.
“Alright, looks like I won’t have the good fortune to eat for a long time.” It was Wu Yungui’s turn to feel helpless.
“You’ve been drinking a lot. ” Yuan Zhou said as a matter of fact.
“But the wine can’t fill my stomach.” Wu Yungui said,”alright, let’s not talk about this. I came here to thank you, boss Yuan, for being willing to hold a cooking exhibition in my place.”
“No, I should be the one thanking you.” Yuan Zhou said.
“There’s no need for you to thank me. This is a rare opportunity that others can’t even fight for. ” Wu Yungui shook his head.
“Many people want to cooperate with the chef’s Association to hold your cooking exhibition, Mr. Yuan.” Before Yuan Zhou could answer, Zhong Lili said at the side.
“Well, then I’ll have to trouble you.” Yuan Zhou wasn’t being modest this time. Instead, he thanked her earnestly.
“All right. We know boss Yuan doesn’t like to be polite. We’ll be leaving first. You two can have a good chat.” Wu Yungui said resentfully, then turned his head to Zhong Lili, indicating that they should go together.
Zhong Lili knew her place very well, so she immediately left with Wu Yungui.
Then, only Yuan Zhou and Yin ya were left standing at the door.
