Chapter 384: Yuan Zhou’s Eccentricity

Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

Just when the other chefs were obsessed with the ancient court lady and couldn’t restrain themselves, the waiter came back .

“Sir, here is your crystal rod . ” The waiter handed the tray to him .

“Well, good . Thank you . ” Yuan Zhou received the crystal rod and then thanked the waiter .

“You are welcome . ” The waiter said smilingly .

“Master Yuan, even if you don’t need assistants like us to sculpt, you need a person to wash the vegetables, right?” It was Master Cheng that spoke .

“Exactly . You can’t wash the vegetables alone, can you?” Other chefs echoed one after another .

“Leaving other things aside, I’m fairly confident in washing vegetables . ” Master Cheng patted on his chest and said confidently .

Judging from the profound knowledge disclosed in the contest and his god-tier sculpting skills displayed now, his culinary skills were definitely at the level of a great master .

It can definitely enhance their culinary skills if they could do the odd jobs for Yuan Zhou .

That was basically the thought of all these chefs . However, it was the cunning Master Cheng that spoke first .

“Actually, I am also not bad . ” Even before Yuan Zhou could answer then, another chef also recommended himself at the side .

“There are so many vegetables and I think we can work together and cooperate . ” A younger chef suggested smartly .

“I think this method is good . ” Once he suggested that, the idea received all chefs’ consent .

That was rarely seen in normal times . The chefs that had so many titles surprisingly all wanted to wash the vegetables eagerly . What a spectacle it was!

“He’s really a capable chef . ” At the side, Xing Min was also relieved . He said with a smile .

“Never giving up on their goals until the end . ” Lee Yanyi humphed coldly . Obviously, he was discontented with not being able to eat the dishes .

“You eccentric old man, do you mean that he doesn’t even need assistants to help wash vegetables?” No wonder Xing Min was Lee Yanyi’s deadly foe . He figured out his meaning immediately and then asked in surprise .

“That young guy is way too prideful . It’s a waste of time . ” Lee Yanyi didn’t deny, but just looked at the surrounding chefs discontentedly .

“Same to you, the unreasonable stubborn donkey . ” Even at that moment, Xing Min didn’t forget to ridicule Lee Yanyi .

“Humph . ” Lee Yanyi just responded with a cold humph .

After Yuan Zhou heard everyone’s utterance, he answered, “I’m sorry . I’m rich in nothing but eccentricity . I like washing vegetables this way . “

While he was speaking, he appeared quite sincere .

Nonetheless, the hearts of all the chefs over there skipped a beat as they felt something was wrong .

Disregarding all that, Yuan Zhou just took up the Jinling Grass prepared just now and intended to give a presentation .

The handful of Jinling Grass wasn’t so good as that provided by the system, but it was still quite fresh and tender .

“Aren’t the vegetable alright after some rinsing?” Of course, other chefs also knew the crispness and freshness of this vegetable .

Right after that, however, Yuan Zhou began to show his unique awesomeness with his capabilities .

Yuan Zhou first cut the old stalks off with the bamboo knife provided, leaving every piece only one inch long .

Of course, the bamboo knife had also been processed by Yuan Zhou beforehand .

He moved the bamboo knife upward lightly but quickly . Then the Jinling Grass on the kneading board fell into the azure stone basin that he had prepared like the blue jade .

After a sound of “Pi Li Pa La”, it fell into the water .

In a rapid sequence, Yuan Zhou picked up the crystal rod sent to him by the waiter just now .

While he was shaking the basin clockwise and making the vortex appear with one hand, he stirred the Jinling Grass with the crystal rod lightly with the other .

His actions were light, but nevertheless fully washed every piece of Jinling Grass .

In the end, Yuan Zhou moved the Jinling Grass out with the crystal rod again . It was then covered with a layer of water mist .

“It’s done . ” Yuan Zhou said that in no more than 3 minutes .

He looked up at the crowds and found the banquet hall was lost in absolute silence . They basically hadn’t reacted yet .

“I like to wash the vegetables in this way . It is quite rare . ” Yuan Zhou said with a seemingly shy expression .

On hearing that, the chefs on site wanted to say nothing but a simple “Ho Ho” .

“The vegetables could surprisingly be washed this way . Then what is that when we are washing it before?” A chef couldn’t help muttering .

“It’s devastation . ” Master Cheng answered fluently .

“I don’t want to say anything to Boss Yuan anymore . “

“Can that be called rare?”

“Eh . . . “

“Ta Ta Ta”, Chu Xiao straightforwardly went up and brought the washed Jinling Grass closer to have a look .

“Really nice . ” After quite a while, Chu Xiao remarked .

“Tsk-tsk . I only found out now that I don’t even know how to wash vegetables . ” A chef joined the circle to watch .

“Luckily I didn’t say I wanted to do that . ” Another chef that kept silent while others were volunteering to wash vegetables said that .

“Indeed . Fortunately, I didn’t have time to say that . Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so interesting . ” The talking chef looked at the several people including Master Cheng that had tried to do the work eagerly with an expression of ridicule .

“Yeah . Fortunately, we didn’t say that . ” The few persons that didn’t volunteer all felt lucky .

Nevertheless, those who had volunteered to wash the vegetables were basically silent now . They couldn’t even ridicule now .

After all, they all knew that the Jinling Grass indeed needed to be washed that way .

It was just because they understood that . The way Yuan Zhou used just now was too magnificent and nobody could match against him . That issue made them very upset .

They had been greatly outclassed by Yuan Zhou’s sculpting skill and now, again, by Yuan Zhou’s technique of washing the vegetables .

“Sh*t . Is it really necessary to wash the vegetables with such a complex method?” Master Cheng could only ridicule in his heart .

“Haw-haw . This little brat is so interesting . ” There was a contented expression on the old face of Zhou Shijie .

Seeing everybody become silent, Yuan Zhou prepared to continue his presentation and hence directly uttered .

The way he talked was still familiar as always, “Regarding the processing of the beef, I have a rather eccentric method, too . “

All chefs on site felt a slight headache when they heard the word of eccentric .

“Go to hell with your eccentricity . ” It was the thought of all chefs on site .

Of course, it also stood for another meaning, “Thank you for your eccentric technique . Please get a dozen for me . “

However, the reason why a chef remained a chef was because they had good decency . Therefore, they only ridiculed him inwardly .

Superficially, they still appeared like, “You continue to act and we’ll just watch silently . “

“I will use the beef to make my presentation . I’m going to reveal my incompetence now . ” After Yuan Zhou said politely, he began to take the beef out .

He didn’t touch the beef at all from the moment he took out the beef until he put it on the kneading board .

“I am prepared to slice it . ” Yuan Zhou raised his head and said that .

Then, he took a neat rectangular plate with no edges from behind him .

Having rinsed it with the boiling water, he put it on the beef right after that .

This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t use the kitchen knife provided by the banquet hall, but directly took out another one from his body .

It was obviously the Miracle Kitchen Knife that Yuan Zhou had used in his restaurant .

Before he came here, Yuan Zhou specifically inquired the system about that .

Just as expected by Yuan Zhou, the taste-free chopsticks and the spoon were allowed to be taken out . Naturally, so was the Miracle Kitchen Knife .

According to the system, only the food ingredients cannot be taken out of the restaurant .

“Pa”, he pressed the plate down and afterwards, he supported it lightly with one hand and took the kitchen knife with the other and then straightforwardly started .

“Damn it . Cutting without measuring?” A chef was surprised .

“It’s very normal to cut that way but not so for him . ” Master Cheng said solemnly .

Other chefs all nodded their head in favor of Master Cheng .

They could also cut without measuring, but they never did it so well . Moreover, after displaying such superior craftsmanship to all others, it was unwise to just cut without measuring .

Only Chu Xiao suddenly said, “Its normal for him to cut it without measuring . “

The word was said affirmatively .

Other chefs at the side all looked at Chu Xiao with puzzlement .

Although frowning, Chu Xiao still explained that . . .
