Zhu Zan, Chen Mu, and ancestor Zhen followed Yuan Zhou into the restaurant. The three of them didn’t say much due to their lack of manners, but they still couldn’t help looking around when they saw the interior of the restaurant.
The small shop used an open kitchen. The curved long table was separated from the kitchen, and in front of the long table, there were high-legged wooden chairs of the same color.
On the left side was a small square table for four. On the wall behind the door were the obvious rules of the Restaurant: No waste, no one can order one meal, and two servings of the same meal.
The menu and the prices were also listed on it. The oil painting on the ceiling also surprised the three people with Yuan Zhou’s unique taste.
Yuan Zhou led them to the right. The arched Sergestes wall door was very conspicuous. Inside, the beautiful Sergestes were jumping around actively, like the falling cherry blossom petals.
Through the water, he could vaguely see the Begonia scenery on the other side of the door, and the flower rack by the door had bright red azaleas in full bloom. There were also some small red-colored wolfberry and other similar plants covering the three-layer flower rack.
The small 20 square meter shop was very compact, but it had a kind of elegance that was well-equipped, especially the small kitchen for three people.
From their angle, they could clearly see the dust-free stove, the glass counter without any water stains, and the neatly arranged knives and pots.
As for Zhu Zan, who had better eyesight, he could even see that not a single bit of the seasoning spilled on the side of the row of seasoning jars.
Even his kitchen couldn’t do this. There was no other way. After a busy day, it would be good if the stove, pots, and knives could be placed back to their original places. As for the cleaning, it was naturally left to the apprentices to clean up.
However, it was impossible for the kitchen to be as clean and tidy as Yuan Zhou ‘s.
At this moment, Zhu Zan suddenly felt that his kitchen was a little too dirty compared to the one in front of him.
Fortunately, such a thought didn’t last long, because Yuan Zhou had already pushed open the door of the Sergestes wall landscape and invited the three of them in.
“Please come in, the exchange is usually held in this courtyard.” Yuan Zhou turned his body sideways and said.
“Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Zhu Zan immediately nodded.
Chen Mu nodded at Yuan Zhou and then entered the restaurant. Walking at the back, ancestor Zhen smiled and said,””Fortunately, this door is big enough. Otherwise, it would be fun if I got stuck here.”
He took a deep breath and tucked in his chubby belly before walking in.
“I’ve considered this when I designed it. It won’t happen.” Yuan Zhou said.
Due to the self-deprecating joke of ancestor Zhen, the atmosphere was much better when Yuan Zhou led the three people to the stone table and sat down.
“Head chef Yuan, the three of us have taken the liberty to visit you. We are really sorry.” Zhu Zan immediately stood up and said while Yuan Zhou had just finished pouring the water.
“I hope head chef Yuan doesn’t mind.” Chen Mu also stood up and said.
“Head chef Yuan, your cooking skills are just too amazing. I, Fatty, couldn’t help but come here after watching the video.” Elder Zhen said in embarrassment.
As a matter of fact, Zhu Zan, Chen Mu, and ancestor Zhen were all big shots in the cooking circle, not to mention that they were twice as old as Yuan Zhou.
The three of them were all people who had mastered a series of cuisines and were respectfully called Masters by others. But now, they could directly apologize to Yuan Zhou’s young face and even sincerely felt that they were being rude.
As they regarded Yuan Zhou as someone of the same status as them, they came uninvited shyly.
After all, if they were in his shoes, they would have felt the same way. Therefore, the three of them stood up and apologized sincerely.
“There’s no need for that, head chefs. A cooking exchange is a mutually beneficial thing. There’s no such thing as an uninvited guest.” Yuan Zhou stood up and said without changing his expression.
“Besides, I’ve been looking forward to your cooking skills for a long time.” Yuan Zhou continued.
“Head chef Yuan is right. A cooking exchange is indeed a win-win situation. It’s good that head chef Yuan doesn’t blame us.” Zhu Zan said.
“Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Ancestor Zhen nodded and thanked him.
“In that case, why don’t we start an exchange of culinary skills?” Chen Mu said.
“Sure, but do the three of you need to record a video?” Yuan Zhou asked first.
“Of course.” Zhu Zan nodded and continued,”this way, it’s also more convenient to save and learn.”
Zhu Zan nodded, and so did ancestor Zhen and Chen Mu.
“Please wait a moment, I’ll get someone to record it.” After Yuan Zhou said that, he turned his body sideways and sent a text message. Then, he turned back and continued,””He’ll be here in a moment, please wait a moment. ”
“It’s fine. Let’s introduce ourselves first. ” Zhu Zan shook his head and then said.
“Then let’s start with me, fatty.” The first one to speak was elder Zhen.””My name is ancestor Zhen, I’m good at Osmanthus cuisine. There are many mountains in our country, so I’m good at all kinds of exotic and wild food. In this aspect, I’m somewhat similar to Liu Jian, who is good at Dian cuisine, whom you had an exchange with last time.”
He touched his bald head and smiled.
“I’m Chen Mu, an expert in gan cuisines. Just like Sichuan cuisines, I’m also good at using chili. ” Chen Mu said.
“And I, Zhu Zan, am good at Cantonese cuisine, which is one of the four traditional cuisines originating from Lingnan. I dare not say that I’m good at all of Cantonese cuisine, but I’m best at Guangfu cuisine.” Zhu Zan also said.
Yuan Zhou listened to the introduction of the three people seriously and then said,””I’m yuan Zhou. For now, I’m only good at Sichuan cuisine, Yunnan cuisine, and expensive cuisine. I’ve dabbled in Jinling cuisine among Jiangsu cuisines and a few foreign cuisines. As for the rest, I’m still learning them out of interest, but I dare not say that I can cook them. ”
“Head chef Yuan, you’re too polite. This is already very good.” Zhu Zan said.
“That’s right. You’re already good at three or four cuisines. We old men are really old.” Lord Zhen touched his big bald head and sighed.
“Indeed, heroes come from youngsters.” Chen Mu also nodded.
“That’s right. I heard that head chef Yuan’s desserts are also top-notch. There are many types of desserts in our Cantonese cuisine. However, I’m not as good as head chef Yuan. I’m not good at desserts.” Zhu Zan sighed sincerely.
“You’re too polite. I’m only interested in cooking. ” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.
Just when the three of them were about to say something, the young man who was responsible for shooting the video arrived. It was the first time he came to shoot for Yuan Zhou. He was also the person brought by Zhang Yan.
The young man set up the four cameras skillfully and said,””I’m ready. You can start at any time. ”
“I’m sorry to trouble you,” After a nod, Yuan Zhou turned his head and said,””Then let’s start.”
“Alright, let’s start the cooking exchange. I can’t wait.” Elder Zhen was the first to nod and agree.
“Let me introduce some of our gan cuisine.” Chen Mu didn’t waste any time and started talking about the dishes.
Although ancestor Zhen and Zhu Zan thought that Chen Mu was cunning, they could only listen since they could not interrupt him at the beginning.
The exchange of culinary skills between the four master-level chefs began with gan cuisine.
