“I’ll just say my description is the most accurate.” Francie said with a smug look.
“No, I think it’s more than that, there’s something else involved,” Manfred said thoughtfully.
“President, I think you think too much. I think this is the taste of Chinese spring, and also the taste of our French romantic spring, because there is a charming floral fragrance in it, which is really peculiar.” Auguste Squinting, he chewed the bun again and said comfortably.
“Yes, this one has added a kind of petal called Sophora japonica. It is a long string of small white flowers. The flowering season is from April to May, and the flowering period is only ten to fifteen. God, and this petal was picked today.” Chu Xiao nodded.
“And we Huaxia have a tradition of eating flowers, which is romantic and poetic in the eyes of ancient literati.” Chu Xiao continued.
“Oh, that sounds interesting to me, too,” Francis said curiously.
“Yes, we still use flowers to make tea or make essential oils a lot, and we still eat some, but this is the first time to eat this kind of flower.” Manfred nodded.
“Yes, elderflowers will be used for soup and more for tea.” August shrugged.
“Hey, I’m actually not interested in this flower or anything else, I just want to know if this food called buns is still available?” Francie touched his stomach and continued, “It’s too small after all. I’m not full yet.”
“I think you can look over there yourself.” Chu Xiao gestured to Francie to look at Yuanzhou.
From the moment Yuanzhou put down the microphone, Yuanzhou began to prepare the ingredients for lunch at noon. After all, if he was cooking a meal for 200 people at a time, he was still alone, so he naturally required constant preparation.
And now Yuanzhou is pounding with a thick wooden pestle in the stone mortar. As Yuanzhou’s arm muscles bulge slightly, the wooden pestle falls down, making a slight snapping sound. If you smell it carefully, you can smell the aroma of rice.
“Is this cooking new food?” Francie was immediately attracted by Yuanzhou’s new way of cooking, and asked curiously.
“Yes, I think you should listen carefully to President Zhou’s explanation just now.” Chu Xiao said.
“No way, I just completely immersed in the deliciousness of this bun.” Francie reluctantly pointed to the empty steamer in front of him.
“No, I think you’re just thinking about eating.” August rudely complained.
“Of course, you have to know that I still remember Chef Yuan’s dishes half a year ago.” Francie was not ashamed and admitted it directly.
“Well, the taste is really impressive.” Auguste nodded in agreement, after savoring the faint fragrance in his mouth.
“I think I should have invited Chef Yuan to join the Celebrity Chef Association earlier.” Manfred said.
“Of course, I can personally write a letter of recommendation for him.” August nodded positively.
Actually, not everyone can enter this chef association. Ordinary entry into the association requires the recommendation of three famous chefs of different nationalities, and then they can be approved for entry after being assessed and confirmed.
This assessment includes whether you have won an international culinary competition award, as well as your prestige and honor among chefs.
It can be said that the current celebrity chef association is of Chinese descent, but only Chu Xiao is of pure Chinese nationality, and even Zhou Shijie has not entered.
Chu Xiao is the honorary chairman of the Asian side, and Fujiwara Iemoto is also here, and he is the chairman of the Japanese Celebrity Chef Association, so he said that Fujiwara Iamoto, the Japanese who knows Chinese cuisine best, is highly recognized.
Japan’s exclusion from Asia as a whole is not viewed lightly, precisely because foreign countries recognize Japanese chefs and cuisine more.
The difference between an honorary chairman and a chairman is that the honorary chairman is an honor that recognizes and respects the skills he possesses, but does not undertake work tasks or responsibilities.
But the chairman is different, he can exercise power, and there are three recommendation places in the chairman’s hand, but only one honorary chairman.
So it is difficult to enter this celebrity chef association. After all, after you enter, all your speeches and ideas about cooking will be circulated and recorded to be recorded in the history of chefs.
And this is another way to enter the association, which is to have a handwritten recommendation letter from the chairman of the North American Celebrity Chef Association like August, so that only one person’s recommendation can be directly entered.
Speaking of recommending Manfred and August, they couldn’t help but look at Chu Xiao, because Chu Xiao also had a recommendation spot in his hand, but he didn’t recommend Yuan Zhou, which made them feel a little strange.
“Chu, why didn’t you recommend this Chef Yuan?” Manfred asked seriously.
After all, it is their duty to recommend good chefs.
August also looked at Chu Xiao curiously. Obviously, he knew that Chu Xiao respected Yuan Zhou very much and regarded him as his opponent. After all, Chu Xiao’s mobile phone was full of videos of Yuan Zhou’s cooking exchanges.
But that’s what makes August more curious.
“Because I’m not qualified to recommend.” Chu Xiao said very directly and seriously.
“Huh?” Before Manfred could react, August, who was beside him, immediately understood what Chu Xiao meant.
“Chu, you are also a rare genius chef.” August said.
“Yes, Chu, you are very good.” Manfred nodded affirmatively.
“Of course.” Chu Xiao nodded as a matter of course, but when he looked at Yuan Zhou, he couldn’t help but say, “But he is a born cook.”
“Yes, I like this description very much.” August’s eyes lit up, and he said in agreement.
“Indeed, from the beginning to the present, in such an environment, his attention has been on his own dishes, and there is no distraction. Other chefs will always care about other people’s evaluations when facing such occasions~ IndoMTL.com~ but he doesn’t have any,” Manfred said admiringly.
Who doesn’t care what other people say? What’s more, this is related to the success of his personal cooking exhibition, but in Manfred’s observation, Yuan Zhou did not fluctuate at all.
Even if someone shouted that the steamed buns were too small to eat, the chef Yuan just plainly explained that it was a brunch, and the amount eaten at this time just didn’t affect the lunch for a while.
His demeanor was steady, his tone was natural, and there was no fluctuation at all, as if this was just an ordinary banquet that could no longer be ordinary, rather than an important culinary exhibition related to his career.
Now Manfred also understood what Chu Xiao meant when he said he was not qualified.
“Speaking of which, how much satisfaction do you think Chef Yuan will get?” Francie was not interested in what they said about the Celebrity Chef Association, so he asked another topic on his own.
While Francie brought up the topic, others at the Celebrity Chefs Guild were discussing it.
