Gourmet Food Supplier - Chapter 1325

“Everything is ready.” Yuan Zhou stood up and walked to the door, waiting for the customer.

Yuan Zhou had just walked to the door when Liu Xi and Liu Jian arrived together. The two old men who looked similar and walked in the same way.

“Good day, you two.” Yuan Zhou said.

Good afternoon, head chef Yuan.” Liu Xi and Liu Jian said in unison.

“Please come in, the tea has been prepared.” Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and signaled the two of them to come in.

“Thank you, head chef Yuan. The next time you come to Yun province, we will be your guests.” Liu Jian said.

“Then I’ll lead the way to your province.” Liu Xi continued.

“Alright, I’ll have to trouble the two of you then.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“You’re welcome. It’s a good thing that we can all improve by exchanging cooking skills.” Liu Jian’s tone was very straightforward.

“That’s right. Head chef Yuan, you’re welcome.” Liu Xi waved his hand and said.

“Then let’s go in and start.” Yuan Zhou opened the door of the Sergestes wall landscape and then said.

As soon as the door was opened, the crabapple tree was revealed. Green crabapple fruits hung on it, and the leaves were slightly red. The branches stretched out beautifully.

As he walked in, the courtyard was not big, but the layout was ingenious and elegant. On the side of the house facing the sun, there was a stone table, and on top of it was a small red clay stove that was emitting white steam. It was obvious that the water inside had already boiled.

There were also teacups beside the small stove. There were small cups for drinking tea, tea boxes for tea leaves, small bamboo clips, and three matching purple sand cups.

The stone bench beside the table was covered with a thatched mat.

This kind of environment, coupled with this kind of tea stove, made people feel comfortable. It gave them a feeling of communication, which was very good.

“Head chef Yuan, although the area in front of you is small, it’s a whole new world once you enter.” Liu Jian said.

“The second floor here is a Tavern. They drink there at night.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the place on the second floor that was surrounded by the bamboo forest.

“Amazing. Head chef Yuan’s design is amazing.” Liu Jian praised.

“He’s indeed a clever man. ” Liu Xi also nodded his head repeatedly.

“Let’s have an exchange here. ” Yuan Zhou led the two of them to the table.

“Alright,” he said. Liu Xi and Liu Jian nodded their heads and then followed Yuan Zhou to the table.

“Please take a seat.” Yuan Zhou reached out his hand and gestured.

“Let’s sit together,” Liu Xi said.

Then, the three of them sat down together.

After they sat down, Yuan Zhou demonstrated a simple way of making tea and then poured tea for the three people smoothly.

“Please.” Yuan Zhou put down the teapot.

“I didn’t expect boss Yuan to be so good at cooking at such a young age. Not only that, but his tea ceremony is also not bad.” Liu Jian said with emotion.

“I’m not proficient in the Way of Tea. I only know a little, and it can only moisten the throat. ” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.

While drinking, the three of them chatted about the tea leaves for a while. Not until the first cup of tea was finished and Yuan Zhou poured the tea for the two of them did he speak again.

“Let’s talk about Yunnan cuisine first. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“There’s no need to be so polite. Head chef Yuan, just say it.” Liu Xi and Liu Jian sat up straight with serious expressions on their faces.

“Alright, then I’ll start immediately.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then said unhurriedly.

The cuisines of every region are related to the local natural environment, and Yunnan cuisine is no exception.” Yuan Zhou said,”that’s why I’ve roughly divided Dian cuisines into five categories according to regions. They are northeast Yunnan, West Yunnan, Southwest Yunnan, southern Yunnan, and the central region.”

Liu Jian listened attentively, thinking that this method was quite strange.

“Because northeast Yunnan is close to the Inland, its transportation is relatively convenient. Since ancient times, it has had more contact with the Central Plains. It also borders on Sichuan. Therefore, the cuisine and taste there are similar to Sichuan cuisine, such as Zhanyi chili chicken, Qujing steamed fish strips, and stir-fried wild mushrooms.”

“On the other hand, western Yunnan and Southwest Yunnan are the settlements of ethnic minorities. In my opinion, because they are adjacent to Tibet, Myanmar, and Laos, their cooking characteristics are influenced by Tibetan, Hui, and temple dishes, but they still retain their own characteristics and mainly develop their own ethnic cuisines. The Dali milk fan is one of the representatives.”

Yuan Zhou paused for a moment and continued,”lastly, southern Yunnan is rich in natural resources, products, and a mild climate. The main food there is glutinous rice. The taste is more inclined to the southeast Asian style, such as pineapple rice.”

“And central Yunnan, which is in the middle, is an all-inclusive and versatile region. Famous chefs such as you, Chef Liu Jian, have gathered there, right?” Yuan Zhou said in the end.

After Yuan Zhou said that, Liu Jian looked at Yuan Zhou with a complicated expression and then at his brother Liu Xi before he said.

Liu Jian pointed at Liu Xi and continued,”in the beginning, my brother, that is, him, was the one.”I didn’t believe that head chef Yuan was an expert in Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan cuisines. You also know some Jiangnan cuisines and are even a master of cooked Wheaten food. You could even compete with a master of ice sculpting.”

Yuan Zhou and Liu Xi just listened to him quietly and didn’t say anything, waiting for Liu Jian to continue.

“I know that there are geniuses in the world, but there’s a limit to one’s energy. How can one achieve so many things at such a young age?” Liu Jian sighed.

“Let this old man shamelessly boast. I have studied Yunnan cuisine for my entire life, but I can only be considered one of the best. You’re a master of three different cuisines. You really can’t compare people. ”

Liu Jian sighed with emotion after saying a long sentence.

As he was being praised, Yuan Zhou could only accept the praise with a straight face. He didn’t want to interrupt the praise. After all, it was quite comfortable to be praised.

On the other hand, Liu Xi’s serious face revealed a gentle expression as he teased.

“How is it? You’re convinced after hearing this?” Liu Xi said with a smile.

“I’m not convinced. Although head chef Yuan only briefly explained the taste of Yunnan cuisine, from his deep and simple words, I can tell that head chef Yuan is very familiar with Yunnan cuisine and has his own understanding of it.” Liu Jian said.

“I’m still learning. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“Head chef Yuan, you’re too humble. It’s the two of us who are about to be buried that need to learn. It’s the right decision to come here for the exchange.” Liu Jian said, shaking his head.

“Let’s continue. I know that old fart Colin came here a while ago. He’s good at taste. Let’s talk about the cooking method of the Guizhou cuisine today.” Liu Xi couldn’t wait to say what he wanted to talk about.

“Then let’s have an exchange of Yunnan cuisine. Head chef Yuan hasn’t talked to anyone about Yunnan cuisine, right?” Liu Jian said hurriedly.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou directly nodded his head and agreed.

Anyway, Yuan Zhou was fully prepared and was not afraid at all.

Just as the atmosphere was getting heated and the three of them were talking one after another, a strong voice came from outside the door.

“Little Yuan, boss Yuan, head chef Yuan, is your rack really made of yellow Rosewood?” The sound was getting closer and closer, and it was very clear. The three of them stopped in unison.

“Ta ta ta.” With a series of heavy footsteps, Zhang Ji appeared in front of the three.

In the past, Zhang Yan was as gentle as he could be to Yuan Zhou. He always treated Yuan Zhou as his treasure and was a standard Yuan Zhou braggart.

This was the first time he shouted at Yuan Zhou like that. He came here hurriedly today mainly for two things. The first was the matter of the bowl rack. As for the second …

As soon as he saw the two people sitting together with Yuan Zhou, Zhang Yan immediately restrained his flustered and exasperated expression and looked at the two brothers, Liu Jian and Liu Xi, with a serious and guarded look.

“You’re a chef of Guizhou cuisine and a chef of Yunnan cuisine. What are you doing here at little Yuan’s restaurant?” Zhang Ji asked seriously.

It couldn’t be helped. Zhang Yan was naturally wary of chefs who were not from his own province. Who asked even a Carpenter to come to the Sichuan cuisine cooking world to snatch people away?
