Chapter 1429: Action-oriented
“And he’s younger than me.” Chu Xiao sighed.
“That’s impossible,” Gabriel did not believe this.
A Chinese cuisine chef who is even better than Chu Xiao? Gabriel was sure that there were some. After all, although Chu Xiao was one of the best French chefs, he was not the best.
Some of the older generation were even more perverted in their pursuit of taste and details. Naturally, there were still some people who were more powerful than Chu Xiao, but not by much. It could even be said that they were better by virtue of their age and more experience.
Therefore, after hearing such a high evaluation from Chu Xiao, Gabriel’s first reaction was disbelief. Such a person was probably not a genius but a monster.
“That’s the truth. ” Chu Xiao said with certainty.
“So this sweet water’s surface was his idea?” Gabriel asked tentatively.
Chu Xiao was a creative French chef, and new dishes were often born. Therefore, Gabriel thought in this direction.
“No.” “Sweet water surface is a very famous local specialty snack in Chengdu City of Sichuan Province. It got its name because it uses the replicated soy sauce and has a sweet taste.” Chu Xiao shook his head.
“That’s good. ” Gabriel heaved a sigh of relief.
In fact, after eating the sweet water noodles, Gabriel’s prejudice against Chinese food was reduced a lot, especially in front of Chu Xiao. He really couldn’t hold Qiao in high regard, so his attitude became calmer. However, the shadow of the Chinese food that he had eaten was still there.
“But if he makes this sweet water’s surface, it will be ten times better than mine in terms of texture and taste. It’s equivalent to my specialty.” Recalling the taste of Yuan Zhou’s dishes, Chu Xiao said directly.
“But ...” Gabriel still wanted to say something but was interrupted by Chu Xiao.
“Since you’ve finished tasting the new dish, you should leave.” Chu Xiao said with a little disinterest.
“Uh ...” Gabriel was a little speechless, but he still said,””Alright,” he said.
“Thank you for your sweet water’s surface, head chef Chu.” Said Gabriel.
“You’re welcome,” Chu Qi waved his hand and called for someone to send him off.
Indeed, Chu Xiao was no longer interested in Gabriel, because he had never been interested in the people who had been defeated by him.
If he didn’t start to look down on Chinese food and his country, he wouldn’t bother to make these dishes. But since he had already conquered them, there was nothing more to say.
Speaking of Yuan Zhou, Chu Xiao expressed that he wanted to know if Yuan Zhou had any new dishes recently.
It had always been Chu Xiao’s style to do things as he said. After instructing Phil to let people clean up the dining table, he directly went back to his office to make a phone call.
It was 10:00 in the evening when Yuan Zhou was far away in Chengdu, China. It was dinner time and pub time.
Yuan Zhou was reading a book on Cantonese cuisine while holding the knife in his hand and feeling the subtle differences between cutting vegetables.
That’s right. In fact, the requirements for knife skills were different for each cuisines. Yuan Zhou was just feeling the difference in harmony.
“Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling.” It was still the same old ringtone.
After Yuan Zhou waved the phone for the last time, he pulled open the drawer and took out his phone.
“Chu Xiao?” Yuan Zhou took a look at the phone and then picked it up,””I’m yuan Zhou. ”
“Thanks for the menu.” Chu Qi said.
“There’s no such thing as a thank you or not in an equivalent exchange,” Yuan Zhou said primly.
“That’s true. Do you have any plans for new dishes?” “I’ll be passing by Chengdu soon,”Chu Xiao asked directly.
“Not yet, but there will be a pastry gathering soon.” Yuan Zhou had a tacit understanding of Chu Xiao’s passing and thus said directly.
“In that case, my timing should be just right.” Chu Qi said.
“Indeed,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“What’s the exact time?” Chu Xiao asked.
“I haven’t confirmed it yet, but it will be soon. It will still be hosted by master Cheng.” Yuan Zhou said.
“I know.” Chu Qi said.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou answered. Then, there was a moment of silence on the phone. Yuan Zhou took the initiative and said,””Then, we’ll meet again at the desserts.”
“Alright,” he said. Chu Xiao answered and then hung up the phone with Yuan Zhou at the same time.
That’s right, the two of them could now hang up the phone at the same time.
After hanging up the phone, Yuan Zhou didn’t put down the phone. Instead, he was thinking about something while holding the phone.
“Ling Hong hasn’t come to the restaurant for three days. Tomorrow will be the fourth day.” Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
“Do I need to make a phone call?” Yuan Zhou took the phone and opened the contact book. When he saw the name recorded on it, he thought of Yin ya again.
After all, it was Yin ya who helped him to save his contacts. Therefore, when he saw these distinctive names, he would naturally think of her.
“Speaking of which, I don’t know if Ling Hong has thought it through. It’s not good to do this.” Yuan Zhou recalled ruan Xiaoqing’s expression tonight.
Although ruan Xiaoqing’s expression had been indifferent since the first day Ling Hong didn’t come, she was even more indifferent on the third day. Perhaps she didn’t care about it anymore or something else.
But no matter what, Yuan Zhou knew it wasn’t good.
“Matters of the heart are really complicated.” Yuan Zhou sighed and put away his phone.
In the end, Yuan Zhou didn’t make the phone call, because feelings were two separate things. What he could do was to improve his cooking skills and let the food convey everything.
On the other side, Yuan Zhou was hesitating for a while, but because of his culinary skills, he transferred this emotion to his culinary refinement.
On the other side, however, there was someone who was even more conflicted than Yuan Zhou. However, Yuan Zhou didn’t know this person.
This man was Gabriel. Ever since he returned from Chu Xiao’s shop, he had been immersed in a certain emotion.
That was his curiosity about Chinese food. However, he didn’t dare to try the local food in France again. And just like what Chu Xiao had said, he should go to China to try Chinese food.
“What should I do?” Gabriel pulled at his well-groomed golden beard in distress.
“My cooking skills haven’t improved for a long time. I can’t accept it if I lose points in the next Michelin competition.” Gabriel could not help but think this.
Gabriel was curious about Chinese food because he wanted to improve his cooking skills. He was also a three star Michelin chef, and the Michelin selection was held every year.
“Let’s go. Maybe we’ll get something new. ” In the end, Gabriel’s passion for cooking won over his prejudice against China.
That’s right, as a three-star chef who was proud of his skin color, he also had a little prejudice against other locals.
He had never denied this.
“Is the sweet water noodles from China’s Chengdu? Let’s go there for the first time. ” Gabriel remembered the two words ‘Chengdu’ that Chu Xiao said and then quickly made a decision.
Gabriel, who was a man of action, immediately started to book plane tickets and hotels after making his decision. He was very fast.
“And the chef recommended by head chef Chu. I think I should be able to meet him.” That was what Gabriel thought as he boarded the plane.
