Having heard Dashi Xiujie's explanations, even the Japanese reporters couldn't help showing sympathy for Yuan Zhou who would be confronted by the sharp-tongued Tengyuan later .
"Of course, the instructions of Tengyuan are quite rare and precious for a chef . " The Japanese reporters all looked forward to enjoying the show .
After they received the answer they had wanted, the Japanese reporters began to occupy the good spots for filming the exchange meeting later .
After all, it was quite necessary to find a good spot if they wanted to shoot the scene where Yuan Zhou would be taught a lesson later . Such wonderful news cannot be stolen by others .
As for those who came to interview Yuan Zhou beforehand, they had gained nothing because Yuan Zhou had already begun to prepare the ingredients and knife tools .
At that time, Yuan Zhou wouldn't answer these insignificant questions .
At 10 a . m . , the exchange meeting commenced .
There was the customary opening speech to start with . It was Zhou Shijie who did that personally this time .
"First, I should say thanks to my fellow chefs from Japan . Also, I must say thanks for the support from the people of the media . The exchange meeting begins now . " Without delivering a verbose speech, Zhou Shijie declared the opening of the exchange meeting straightforwardly . Then, there came a burst of applause .
"Presumably, the rules are known to everybody over here . So I won't stress them anymore . The most important thing is to savor the delicacies . Please taste them with your heart," Zhou Shijie said that leisurely with a sense of humor .
"So just start, everybody," Zhou Shijie paused for a while and then walked down the platform .
Then, the exchange meeting commenced officially .
"Tengyuan Jiayuan, do you need me to accompany you?" Chairman Masheng looked at Tengyuan respectfully and asked .
"No need . You just do what you should . " Tengyuan refused him directly .
"Chairman, I will be in the company of Jiayuan," Dashi Xiujie took a step forward and said .
"Okay . Please enjoy your time, Jiayuan . " Chairman Masheng revealed a smile and then went for Zhou Shijie .
Chairman Masheng wasn't going to let Zhou Shijie affect Tengyuan venting his anger; therefore, it was the best choice to delay him now .
However, they didn't know that Zhou Shijie was absolutely not worried about Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao . And he had never thought of protecting them at this exchange meeting .
"Jiayuan, which place do you want to go taste first?" Dashi Xiujie pointed at the countertop of Chu Xiao and Yuan Zhou and asked .
"The best thing should definitely be put at the end . Let's go to Chef Chu first," Tengyuan said straightforwardly .
"Yes, you are right . " Dashi Xiujie nodded his head to show consent .
Tengyuan Jiayuan and Dashi Xiujie didn't intend to go to eat Yuan Zhou's dishes immediately, but other Japanese chefs did .
Now, most of the people were crowding in front of Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao .
"This guy causes chaos no matter where he is," Li Li stood at his own kitchen counter and muttered speechlessly .
"Huh? Do you know that Chef Yuan? Oh right, you are also in Chengdu . How are his culinary skills?" The chef beside him turned his head and asked him when he heard Li Li .
"I'm not acquainted with him very well, but his craftsmanship is really not bad," Li Li commented on that point .
"Tsk-tsk . That Chef Yuan looks more arrogant than Chu Xiao . The key point is that he even takes that for granted . I'm afraid that old guy Tengyuan would be very angry with him . " The chef beside Li Li was a round-faced fat man . When he talked, he paused from time to time, which was quite distinctive .
"Indeed . But his craftsmanship is even better than his capabilities to enrage others," Li Li thought for a while and said so .
"Then there'll be a good play today . " The fat chef stroked his own belly and appeared very excited .
"I think so, too . " Li Li nodded his head . Thinking of his crushing defeat, he suddenly looked forward to the frustration of Tengyuan Jiayuan .
After all, if such a kind of person was defeated by Yuan Zhou, it could well explain why he had also been defeated by him before . It wasn't because his craftsmanship was bad, but this person was too good .
While they were talking about Yuan Zhou at this side, other chefs were actually also talking about him .
The name of Tengyuan Jiayuan was actually known to most chefs in China as long as one worked long enough as a chef and had decent craftsmanship .
This person was well-known to all for his severity and as chance would have it, he had a very sensitive tongue . Even if you put a grain of salt more than necessary, he could tell that . Furthermore, he would take advantage of the shortcoming and directly give you a failing grade .
That was called severity, not strictness .
Even so, however, the chefs disqualified had nothing to say . After all, that person had reason to do that as their dishes were really not perfect .
Such perfect dishes could hardly be cooked by anyone . Only a few people could do that .
Therefore, the chefs on the spot felt quite relieved when they saw Yuan Zhou not show due respect to Tengyuan . However, they inevitably worried if Yuan Zhou could really make Tengyuan speechless .
Just when Tengyuan prepared to say something after he finished eating Chu Xiao's creative dishes, the Japanese chefs that tasted beforehand at the side shouted in surprise .
"Amazing . Is it the milk snow cake?" A Japanese chef at the side pinched a piece of the double-wedged snow-white cake and said in surprise . There was obviously a small piece of the cake bitten off .
"Um . " Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't explain much to them .
"It tastes soft and refreshing and is really delicious . " While praising him, this Japanese chef gulped down all five pieces of the snow-white cake provided by Yuan Zhou .
"Your craftsmanship is really fantastic . " The Japanese chef was quite excited . Meanwhile, he looked towards the steamer pot constantly .
"Thank you . " Yuan Zhou nodded the head .
Seeing Yuan Zhou not say anything nor intend to cook more, this Japanese chef left regretfully .
If it wasn't that he couldn't speak Chinese very fluently, he would have already asked for one more serving .
At the other side, the reaction of this Japanese chef contrarily drew Dashi Xiujie's attention . However, he prepared to say something after Tengyuan commented on Chu's dishes .
"No wonder it's called a creative dish . It's indeed quite creative . " Without saying more, Tengyuan only nodded his head .
He only took a single bite of Chu Xiao's dish before he commented so .
"Thank you . " Chu Xiao also nodded his head . He wasn't really affected by the rare praise from Tengyuan and appeared quite casual .
After he commented on Chu Xiao, Tengyuan put down the plate and prepared to go off to watch Yuan Zhou who spoke wildly .
"Chef Jiangshang said that the snacks of that person tasted quite good," Dashi Xiujie said timely .
"With his culinary skills, he could make nobody but only Jiangshang feel it was tasty . And I believe that's probably the best he can do," Tengyuan said lightly .
"You are right . " On second thoughts, Dashi Xiujie agreed with him .
The difference between Chef Jingshang's craftsmanship and Tengyuan's was like the difference between a pupil and a college student .
"So what do you want to eat?" Dashi Xiujie asked proactively .
"A fish cuisine," said Tengyuan neatly .
"Okay . " Dashi Xiujie was quite delighted . Obviously, Tengyuan was helping him save some face .
"Chef Yuan, are you ready?" Dashi Xiujie asked Yuan Zhou arrogantly .
And Tengyuan just stood there and said nothing . He behaved as if he were an expert that waited to taste the dishes .
"Please check the nameplate and order your dishes," Yuan Zhou said that without turning a hair .
"Considering that you were born and grew up inland, please cook a fish cuisine . Anything is okay . We don't have any specific requirements . " Dashi Xiujie brought out Tengyuan's demands .
"Wait a minute," Yuan Zhou answered him without even looking at the two of them . He behaved naturally and started to prepare the dish straightforwardly .
