Chapter 408: Starting to Posture

Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth

“Isn’t that right, Head Chef Chu?” Yuan Zhou didn’t stand up, but just turned his head and looked at Chu Xiao .

Chu Xiao was dressed in a pure white chef uniform . The tall chef’s hat stood for the identity of the head chef .

There was not a single crease on the uniform . Matched with his pretty face, it seemed to conform to people’s appreciation of beauty well and made him appear extraordinarily handsome .

It was likewise rare for Yuan Zhou to wear a business suit, specifically a dark blue striped business suit .

Although Yuan Zhou wasn’t fat, he had broad shoulders due to the daily exercises . Therefore, he was quite good-looking in a business suit . On the whole, he looked spirited and mature with great charm .

Even when he was sitting, there emitted a strong aura from him, which was the bonus from his culinary skills .

The aura was impressive . People couldn’t touch it, but it did exist .

“That’s right . So what do you think, Boss Yuan?” Chu Xiao walked over to him with Andrew .

Walking behind him, Andrew was nevertheless trying to diminish his sense of existence .

What a joke! They had stood still there for quite a while and coincidentally heard Yuan Zhou say that the apple wasn’t good .

Who was Chu Xiao? He was the youngest Michelin Three Star Chef in history and always convinced people with his culinary skills in the kitchen . Besides that, he was a man of his word .

Having eaten dishes prepared by Chu Xiao, even the senior and top-level critics wouldn’t say anything bad, let alone a layman .

However, this young man that came from nowhere surprisingly said that once he spoke . How was it possible that Chu Xiao would feel good?

The current state of Chu Xiao could best account for that .

“This cooking method is indeed one of the best choices . But there’s a problem on the selection of apples and that causes the goose liver to become sourer by one point . ” Yuan Zhou said quite seriously .

“I sincerely request for your comments, Boss Yuan . ” Chu Xiao said with a manner of cynicism .

“You are using the Gina apples from France . It’s produced in the Mediterranean climate zone in South France . Contrarily, the production area of the goose liver is Strasbourg . ” Yuan Zhou brought out the producing areas of the apples and the goose liver in one breath .

“T’esvraimenttropfort, monpote!” Andrew immediately spat out an exclamation .

This sentence in French was translated into Chinese as, “Awesome, bro!”

Except Chu Xiao and Yuan Zhou, everybody that understood French on site laughed .

After all, Andrew’s manner of surprise was way too conspicuous .

Even Zhou Shijie couldn’t help saying, “It isn’t difficult for him . You should have been used to that . “

“Yes, of course . But I have always thought only Chu Xiao is a genius . Are the young people nowadays all so awesome?” It seemed that Andrews just felt it difficult to accept that .

“Haw-haw-haw . Indeed . Young people nowadays are that awesome . ” Zhou Shijie burst into laughter . Then he nodded his head and said .

Andrew nodded continuously .

In Andrew’s opinion, it was way too amazing that one could tell the origin of the dish just by tasting a little . After all, it was common to give a comment of “delicious”, but now he almost brought out everything about it . How could he not be surprised?

“So on the aspect of taste, the two ingredients should complement each other . But there’s a defect concerning Gina apples . As its taste is more like the Red Delicious Apple, the sourness will slightly increase after it’s squeezed . ” Having paid no attention to Andrew’s praise, Yuan Zhou continued saying that .

“Of course, I know that . ” Chu Xiao didn’t take it seriously .

“So for the sourness, you added a little maltose to adjust the taste . However, the maltose itself contains a little bit sourness . ” Yuan Zhou didn’t have any intention of showing off his knowledge, but instead, he just said lightly .

“I added only one gram!!!” Andrew looked at Yuan Zhou with an unbelievable gaze .

“Is this damn guy really a human? He’s really a monster like the boss!” Andrew’s gaze moved between Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao . Of course, the meaning was just contained in his gaze .

“I see . ” Chu Xiao thought about it inwardly and found it was really like what Yuan Zhou commented .

After heating, the maltose would emit a slight sourness which then went into the butter . Such a taste would undoubtedly penetrate the tender goose liver .

“If the Gina Apple was replaced with Wang Lin Apple, the elegant orchid-like aroma will penetrate the goose liver and it will then taste better . Of course, its texture of 40% sourness and 55% sweetness is better . ” Yuan Zhou brought out another match of ingredients .

“Besides that, it will be better to use the orchid-like aroma to match the fragrance of chestnuts originally contained in the goose liver . ” Yuan Zhou added .

Of course, he drank some water without turning a hair after that . Seldom did Yuan Zhou speak such long paragraphs of words .

“The strong orchid-like aroma will affect the pure fragrance and texture of the goose liver . ” Chu Xiao said quite confidently .

“Yes . So it’s the best choice to feed cows with the apples . Then add some drops of the milk into the butter in order to stimulate the fragrance of the Wang Lin Apple . ” Yuan Zhou continued saying naturally .

“Of course, the feeding time can’t be less than one year . ” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and continued .

After that came a long silence . Chu Xiao was thinking about the feasibility while Zhou Shijie was thinking of something unknown to others; Andrew didn’t dare to say anything .

As for Yuan Zhou, he was eating the dishes carefully as if he was irrelevant to this matter .

It was a basic respect to a chef to finish the dishes . Yuan Zhou had realized this problem even last time and likewise had already started to set an example by personally taking part .

“Little Yuan, is there another solution if we don’t feed the cows for one year?” Zhou Shijie suddenly faced Yuan Zhou and asked .

“Yes . We can change a variety and put some onions inside . Then, the two types of fragrance will exist side by side and play a part together . Apart from that, it will also have the function of improving health . ” Yuan Zhou thought for a little while and said straightforwardly .

“Use the spring onion . Its flakes and flesh are all white . The peppery taste is light while the sweetness is strong . ” Chu Xiao added .

“Correct . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Never have I thought that Boss Yuan also has so much knowledge of French dishes . ” Looking at Yuan Zhou, Chu Xiao said earnestly .

“Not really . I just read something before and know a little about it . ” Yuan Zhou was truly not modest while speaking of that .

After all, he was now just a person that hadn’t fully mastered a single series of regional cuisines .

He was merely good at several dishes in each regional cuisine which happened to cover the French dishes .

“You are way too modest . ” Chu Xiao had a more western mindset, thus he said directly .

“No, I mean it . ” Yuan Zhou said seriously while frowning .

“Why does nobody believe that I’m telling the truth?” Yuan Zhou said inwardly with puzzlement .

“Um . ” Chu Xiao wasn’t in a good mood now . His mistake was easily recognized by others and his conspicuous posturing ended up to become a foolish deed . Of course there were some vague sentiments in his heart .

However, he didn’t go so far as to become angry . What Chu Xiao felt proud of were his genius and great efforts .

For a little while, there was only the slight sound of the dinnerware in the restaurant . Andrew tried his best to diminish his sense of existence and meanwhile thought of a Chinese famous saying .

“Being close to the emperor is like being close to a tiger . “

“I’m done . It turns out to be a great choice of food . I haven’t eaten such an authentic meal for long . Thank you, head chef . ” Zhou Shijie broke the silence and said contentedly while stroking his well-trimmed beard .

“I’m sorry . The defects today must have affected the experience of you two . ” Chu Xiao apologized clearly .

“Never mind . That’s nothing . But remember that I will treat you to dinner next time since you treated me this time . ” Zhou Shijie said indifferently at the beginning and right following that, he said earnestly while looking at Chu Xiao .

“Don’t stand me up . “

“Certainly . ” Chu Xiao nodded his head .

Seated at the side, Yuan Zhou revealed an indifferent manner, even if he knew Zhou Shijie prepared to take Chu Xiao to his restaurant for the meal .

This was the confidence of Yuan Zhou .
