Chapter 1577: What else can I say?
The front yard wasn’t far from the kitchen of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Therefore, Yuan Zhou quickly brought the vegetable knives over.
Although it was a miracle kitchen knife, it was also the knife that Yuan Zhou usually used to cook. Therefore, this knife was not kept in an exquisite box like what Chairman Tian had brought. Instead, it was directly brought over.
The miracle kitchen knife looked really ordinary. Of course, this was referring to its appearance.
The original wood color of the hilt now looked glossy. It was obvious that it had been used many times to make the wood of the hilt look so lustrous.
The blade glowed with a silver light and looked similar to an ordinary chef’s blade. It was completely different from the famous knife that Chairman Tian had brought with him. The tip of the knife had been made into a special shape, and even the handle had been made into the shape of a dragon’s mouth. It was extremely gorgeous.
Both Secretary Liu and the man in a suit had seen this famous knife before. Therefore, when they saw that the knife brought by Yuan Zhou was so ordinary, they immediately felt a little unconvinced.
One must know that their famous knives had been carefully designed by many masters and were specially made for their chefs.
Whether it was the shape or the function, this knife was worthy of its name. It was a kitchen knife that combined both appearance and practicality. In simple terms, it was very good from the perspective of human engineering, not to mention the booing.
Even Zhou Shijie, the chairman of the chef’s Association, had asked for the knife after it was forged, but he had failed.
From this, one could imagine how precious and rare this knife was. Now that Yuan Zhou took out such an ordinary knife and refused this famous knife, the two of them were a little unconvinced.
As for President Tian? Instead, he stared at the knife in Yuan Zhou’s hand and became speechless.
Yes, as the president of the pengding collector Association, he had a good sense of appraisal.
Naturally, he didn’t think that Yuan Zhou took out an ordinary knife. With a careful look, he found that this seemingly ordinary knife was full of tricks.
The effect of the kitchen was brought to the fullest.
From the appearance of the blade, one could tell that this was a blade that could really blow off hair.
Just by looking at the surface, Chairman Tian was certain of his answer.
Therefore, Chairman Tian didn’t say anything. He just looked at the knife in Yuan Zhou’s hand seriously. At the side, Secretary Liu couldn’t help asking.
“Director Yuan, your knife is naturally a good knife, but the famous knives we gave you are also very good. You can take a look before you make a decision.” Secretary Liu said in a serious yet tactful manner.
The man in a suit also nodded his head continuously. He put his hand on the silver box and revealed a manner that he would open it immediately as soon as Yuan Zhou asked.
Of course, Secretary Liu wouldn’t directly be dissatisfied with Yuan Zhou, a God that they had spent so much effort to invite, just because he refused their knives. Therefore, even if she felt that Yuan Zhou’s knives were ordinary, she wouldn’t say anything. Instead, she just persuaded Yuan Zhou to accept their knives.
“No, I’m more used to my own knife.” Yuan Zhou shook his head. Then, he walked to the front and put the knife on the table gently.
His meaning was obvious. He wanted everyone to see.
“Actually, director Yuan, you can…” Secretary Liu still wanted to persuade her, but this time, before he could finish, he was interrupted by Chairman Tian.
“Little Liu, you’re wrong. Take a good look at this knife before you speak.” President Tian reminded.
“What?” After being interrupted by Chairman Tian, Secretary Liu lowered his head and looked at the kitchen knife on the table.
At this moment, Secretary Liu realized that the knife was not as ordinary as it looked from a distance.
The ordinary-looking blade reflected a faint light under the sun, but the blade emitted a sharp silver light without any light. The blade, which was as thin as a cicada’s wing, was definitely not something that ordinary people could make.
Even if Secretary Liu didn’t know how to cook, he knew how comfortable it was to cut vegetables with a knife with such a beautiful curve from the blade to the blade.
Not to mention that the handle seemed to have no design at all, but if one looked closely, one could see that there was a very slight curve on the handle. The curve was perfectly suited for the feeling of slightly bending the hand.
Such a kitchen knife without any decorations but fitting a chef’s body was a chef’s pursuit.
This time, Secretary Liu couldn’t say anything. He looked at the chairman and then at Yuan Zhou, feeling a little embarrassed.
The man in a suit expressed that he didn’t understand. He looked around with some doubts, but wisely didn’t say anything.
However, Chairman Tian checked Yuan Zhou’s miracle kitchen knife seriously and then said,””Director Yuan, can this knife of yours really cut hair?”
“Yes, you can.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
As soon as Chairman Tian heard Yuan Zhou’s nod, he immediately looked at the knife on the table with shining eyes. He wished he could pick it up and try it himself. However, his self-control as a Chairman for many years suppressed this impulse.
President Tian had only heard of things like cutting hair by blowing it, or he had seen it in novels, but in reality, it had never happened before.
After all, the current requirement for blowing and cutting hair was to gently place an extremely thin strand of hair on the blade, and the blade had to cut the hair the moment it was placed on the blade. The cut had to be very neat.
Therefore, when Chairman Tian was about to look at Yuan Zhou expectantly, Yuan Zhou said first,””But I’m sorry, my knife only cuts the ingredients.”
“Yes, yes, yes. A good kitchen knife can only be used to cut ingredients. That’s what they should do.” Although he felt extremely regretful in his heart, Chairman Tian still agreed with Yuan Zhou.
“Yes, this is the tacit understanding between the knife and the chef.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“That’s right, but it’s really a good knife. I’m afraid we can’t find a better knife in our Association.” President Tian sighed with emotion.
“I can’t say it’s the best, but it’s the most suitable for me.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Director Yuan, you’re being too modest. This knife is indeed better than this famous knife.” Said guild leader Tian as he shook his head.
Secretary Liu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said,””Head chef Yuan, you have such a good knife, but it seems like you have never brought it out to use?”
“For example, the seafood competition at the beginning, the Sino-Japanese exchange, the Asia-Pacific Exchange, and the recent personal cooking exhibition. I didn’t see you use it at all?” Secretary Liu asked curiously.
Yuan Zhou was thinking about how to answer with a serious expression. However, the man in a suit who finally understood him said,””Isn’t that simple? director Yuan is just thinking for the sake of her opponent. What’s the point of competing with such a good knife? director Yuan’s own cooking skills are already so amazing, and with such a good knife, wouldn’t people say that director Yuan is bullying the weak?”
“That’s right. Director Yuan’s cooking skills have already reached the peak, and he doesn’t need a good knife to add flowers to the landscape. He can bring out top-class cooking skills with any knife. As expected of a famous Asian chef.” President Tian nodded his head seriously and praised.
At the side, Secretary Liu suddenly realized and said,””So that’s how it is. You’re giving your opponent three levels of strength right off the bat. Director Yuan, you’re really a gentleman. No wonder everyone says you’re the chef with the most distinguished style.”
All of a sudden, the three people in front of Yuan Zhou, Chairman Tian, Secretary Liu and the man in a suit, all looked at Yuan Zhou with admiration.
“What can I do if you’re all done with your imagination? I can only accept it reluctantly.” Yuan Zhou could only keep a straight face and sit there with a solemn and earnest look.
“Maintaining a character profile is really a technical job. Fortunately, I’m really good at cooking, so I don’t have to worry about breaking my character profile.” Yuan Zhou thought about it seriously in the heart and then decided to launch the Jiangsu cuisine as soon as possible.
This would help to improve his cooking skills.
