Since coming to Ankara, Charles has been specifically responsible for Yuan Zhou and meeting all his needs. The same is true for the other fifty-seven people. Having such a person is considered a big deal.
“It is truly the world’s top culinary event.”
After walking for two days, Yuanzhou was familiar with the roads. Soon he arrived at the conference room. He did not enter the conference area inside and stayed outside. Today he was going to cook. Naturally, he cooked on the stove. Instead of cooking at the conference table.
"Chef Yuan is here, good morning."
"Good morning, Yuan."
"Chef Yuan."
After arriving, most people greeted Yuan Zhou. After two days of getting along with each other, everyone had a certain understanding of Yuan Zhou's strength. Not to mention other things, he said that he was definitely worthy of being knowledgeable. There aren't many people who can compete with him, only two or three.
I haven't seen the practice yet, but it doesn't hinder everyone's appreciation of Yuan Zhou. In addition, everyone present is older than Yuan Zhou, so naturally they are more interested in looking after the juniors.
Yuan Zhou has always been very polite to older people. Even though he is not very good at speaking, he still greets everyone one by one. When there are many people, it is almost time to start greeting them.
There were fifty-eight people in attendance, but only fifty-five people participated in the competition, including Mr. Badhan from Italy, Mr. Yuichiro Sanada from Japan, and Mr. Mohamed from Spain, all of whom were over 80 years old and highly respected. People, so the three of them are serving as judges, and the others are participating as contestants. No one is unconvinced.
Therefore, two people from Italy, Japan, and Spain came this time, one as a judge and the other as a contestant. Of course, the youngest contestant is probably the 65-year-old Ivan from Spain.
Yi Wen is quite familiar with Yuan Zhou, of course, not only because of Markle spinning around, but also because although he has never been to Rongcheng, China to see Yuan Zhou cooking with his own eyes, he has seen the video, and to be honest, he is I also learned something from it.
What's more, the fact that Markle's apprentice suddenly emerged and defeated his always evenly matched opponent because of Yuan Zhou's training methods has been widely spread in their circle. With Markel's strong praise, Yuan Zhou's reputation in Spain is definitely growing day by day.
There is a tradition at the Ankara Conference that chefs who are eighty years old will no longer do anything, but will become judges, and their country will again choose one person to enter the conference. Of course, as you get older, your life span will naturally be limited. , so now there are only three remaining judges.
“The 20th Ankara Conference Culinary Show starts now.”
After Badhan's energetic words, the people who were already standing next to each stove began to move.
This meeting is a time to witness the true skills, so there is only one chef, there is no so-called second chef, assistant chef, etc. This is another reason why there is no limit on the production time.
Yuan Zhou chose the place after everyone had made their choices. Therefore, the stove was at the innermost position and the farthest away from where the ingredients were placed. Even though everyone was already in a heated mood during the previous seminar. Seriously, after all, it’s not a big deal to disagree with other people’s opinions, but it’s at this moment that the real sparks fly.
Everyone wants to compete for honor for their country, and naturally they will not be polite. If they don't use their best, they will feel that they have failed to learn what they have learned in their lives, so when choosing the stove, they will do their part.
At this time, there are some who have fast hands and some who have slow hands. Everyone is still measured, sparks are flying, but there is no intention to fight. Those who move quickly grab the good ones, and those who move slowly are naturally in a lower position, and some are more concerned about auspiciousness. Yes, you need to be particular about the direction and number you choose.
In terms of age, Yuan Zhou was definitely the youngest among them and the fastest one, but he didn't move. After the dust settled, he went to the remaining one.
It's not that he deliberately gave in, the main thing is that he doesn't have any taboos. As long as the stove is on the stove, it will be the same, and it will not affect his strength. After all, he has practiced enough.
After Badhan announced the start, everyone walked towards the place where the ingredients were placed. This time, Yuanzhou did not wait. The place where the ingredients were placed was very large. It would not be crowded if more than fifty people went in together. There was no need at this time. Humility.
Unlike how he usually selects ingredients quickly, Yuan Zhou spent a lot of time selecting ingredients this time, and most of the ingredients he chose were live birds. At a glance, there were big white geese, and there were several kinds of ducks, including domestic ducks, wild ducks, and so on. There are all kinds of birds and pigeons, big and small, as well as all kinds of side dishes. It can be said that this is the time when Yuan Zhou has chosen the most ingredients except for the individual competition.
Even Auguste, who was concentrating on his choice of dishes, glanced at Yuan Zhou a few times, very curious about what Yuan Zhou planned to cook. He had never chosen so many ingredients in the previous Bocuse Cooking Competition.
Of course, no matter how curious you are, you will only take a few glances, and no more. After all, this is a critical moment for everyone. How can you have so much free time to pay attention to other people? If it weren't for Yuan Zhou, Juman Li, and the others, they wouldn't even look at it. Yes, the main reason is that Yuanzhou is definitely a strong opponent. They are not sure and can only fight with all their strength.
The opportunities in life are really changing. Yuan Zhou, who was still standing on the stage as a contestant a year ago, can now compete with them on the same stage. It's time and destiny.
Yuanzhou didn't know everyone's complicated thoughts. After getting all the ingredients, he returned to his stove and started processing them.
Naturally, the first things to deal with are all kinds of poultry and birds. The organizing committee has thought very carefully. Although these poultry are alive, they are already ready for the chefs to slaughter directly. Anyway, except for not killing them, everything else It is pre-processed, and other ingredients are basically the same.
Of course, there are also slaughtered ones. It depends on the chef's choice. Not to mention these poultry, there are livestock, such as pigs, cattle, sheep, etc. As long as the chef wants to slaughter and get the meat by himself, that is also possible, but in another The room needs to be killed there. After all, it takes up a lot of space and needs a special place. That is, if the poultry is a little small, you can do it directly here.
At first glance, except for aquatic products, almost all other chefs use pre-killed ingredients. After all, what the organizing committee prepares is clean enough and of high quality.
"Swish, swish, swish"
Watching Yuan Zhou kill poultry is definitely a kind of enjoyment. He is obviously doing a very bloody thing, but when he does it, it makes people feel a bit more strange and beautiful. At least that's what Yuichiro Sanada thinks. Gotta do it without blinking.
"Why do some moves look like the Seventeen Swordsman, but many of them are different? They are much more complicated than the Seventeen Swordsmen. It's incredible." Sanada muttered to himself.
When Dashi got their Japanese spiritual symbol Seventeen Swords from Yuan Zhou before, he knew about it and was excited. Naturally, he also knew that Yuan Zhou knew how to use Seventeen Swords.
Originally, Yuan Zhou's starting move was the Seventeen Knife, but as he became more and more sophisticated, it became essentially different from the Seventeen Knife. At least with his eyesight, he couldn't tell which sword technique it was. .
