Huai'an City.

"Have you read it?" Gu Chen asked his friend Chen Pianzhen with the Huai'an Morning Post.

Chen Pianzhen asked: "Huai'an Morning Post, you have known me for more than ten years, when did you see me have the habit of reading newspapers?"

Gu Chen put down the newspaper, in fact, the newspaper was not the key, he took it to discuss it with Chen Pianzhen.

Seeing that Chen Pianzhen really didn't seem to know at all, Gu Chen couldn't help asking, "You really didn't see the news?"

"What's the news? Did you send me a message? I'm tutoring my child with his homework in the morning, you don't know, it's so uncomfortable, my head hurts so badly, I can't communicate clearly. Chen Pianzhen rubbed his forehead, and now he still has a faint pain in his head when he thinks about it.

Chen Pianzhen picked up his phone and looked at it.

Nowadays, all kinds of apps are installed on mobile phones, so even if there is no news, other apps will send hot news.

Don't talk about the rest, anyway, Chen Pianzhen clicked on his mobile phone and sent two messages - [Chef Yuan has done another big thing]

Chen Pianzhen clicked on the latter one without hesitation, as for the first one, he received too much of this kind of headline party news every day.

["Ku Ding is Wen Huijun to relieve the cow, the hand touches, the shoulder leans, the foot walks, the knee ......" This paragraph should be very familiar, from "Zhuangzi", and today's reporter of this newspaper learned from Mr. Wu Yungui, the third spokesman of Chef Yuan, that Chef Yuan will show the legendary Chef Ding to solve the cow at the horse banquet.

It is reported ......]

Such a report successfully made Chen Pianzhen stunned, and he read it many times, and this news was reprinted by Youth Daily.

Youth Daily is no match for other tabloids, and as an official newspaper, the news it publishes is absolutely confirmed.

There is also an introduction to the information about Yuanzhou, that is, the Yuanzhou that Chen Pianzhen is familiar with.

Regarding Yuan Zhou's spokesman, after all, Yuan Zhou has only been interviewed by a handful, and the second spokesman is Zhou Shijie, and a lot of news is circulated from Zhou Shijie.

Chen Pianzhen looked up at Gu Chen, and suddenly realized: "You came to me, it should be for this matter." ”

"That's right, the Internet is crazy today because of this incident, anyway, our chef circle is bursting, what do you think. Gu Chen said.

"What do you think?" Chen Pianzhen said: "If someone else says this, then there is no need to say it, it is 100% false, but it is Chef Yuan who said this, I can't figure it out......"

"Yes, I came here because I couldn't figure it out. Gu Chen rubbed his head: "You said that Chef Yuan is too, and he has to make a big deal all the time, I heard that because of the Young Chef Exchange Conference, there are many more foreigners in Rongcheng." ”

Chen Pianzhen paused and added: "If it weren't for the inappropriate time, I would have wanted to participate." ”

"It's true that the time is not right. Gu Chen also had this idea.

The two didn't talk about it, they carefully studied the itinerary of the young chef exchange meeting, if they advanced to the finals, starting from the primary selection, it would probably last for two months, of course, it was not that they needed to stay in Chengdu all the time, but the whole cycle was so long.

Gu Chen and Chen Pianzhen are both chefs of Huaiyang cuisine, and they are both chefs of Huaiyang cuisine, and they have been preparing for the "Huaidao Banquet" recently, so they don't have enough time.

"It's a mistake, should we tell Shigong about this?" Gu Chen asked.

Chen Pianzhen said: "I have to tell that Chef Yuan's affairs are not trivial. ”

The two decided to go out immediately, Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen, both thirty-four years old this year, but the former looked much younger than the latter, the two stood together, and some people believed that Gu Chen was Chen Pianzhen's uncle.

Huaiyang cuisine is known for its exquisite knife work, and the Huai Dao Department is dedicated to creating more ornamental and valuable knife work as its own responsibility, and every two years the chef of the Huai Dao Department jointly launches a Huai Dao banquet to show the beauty of Huaiyang kitchen knife work.

The creator Wang Huai, that is, more than 30 years ago, put the "King of Knives" plaque in the museum's Huaiyang cuisine celebrity chef.

Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen's master is also Wang Huai, in fact, after the old man Wang created the Huai knife system, there are many chefs with exquisite knife skills to join, that is, the second generation, Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen are the third generation, in fact, they are only called Shigong, not Shigong in our traditional sense.

This is why the two of them didn't tell the master first, but skipped a grade and said this.

Old man Wang Huai is over seventy years old this year, and his health is not as good as before, but he still personally presides over every knife banquet at the beginning.

At this time, Wang Huai is at home, Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen are better at knife work among the younger generation, so they have also consulted many times about cooking skills, and the old man Wang Huai also likes to bring up the younger generations, it should be said that the vast majority of people who can be called masters in a certain craft like to carry the younger generations.

So these two people are still very familiar with Wang Huai.

About twenty minutes later, Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen arrived at Wang Huai's doorstep.

"Bang bang bang" knock on the door.

It was not Wang Huai who opened the door, but Wang Jike.

"Uh, why is Chef Wang?" Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen immediately felt that their backs were unconsciously straightened a lot.

"I have something to do with Elder Wang today, come in. Wang Jike turned around and entered the living room.

Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen were cautious, and followed Wang Jike into the door step by step.

Old man Wang Huai sat on the sofa, his hair was completely white, but his body was still quite strong, and he couldn't see his age, and he looked like he was sixty-three or four at most.

"It is said that at the beginning of the dim sum party, Chef Yuan made a very exquisite Soviet-style boat pastry, which was exquisite and delicious, but unfortunately I didn't eat it. Wang Huai continued to talk to Wang Jike just now, and his voice was full of anger.

The old man was talking while knocking melon seeds, and the reason why the old man was in good health was that he could eat them.

In the words of Mr. Wang, my cooking is so delicious, of course I have to eat more, but not all chefs have a good appetite, for example, Chen Mu, the master of Gan cuisine, is skinny and suspected of anorexia.

A chef has anorexia, just like many funny comedians have depression, which is a more absurd thing, but the reality is often so absurd.

"There weren't many chefs in Sioux Province who received invitations, and I didn't receive them at that time. Wang Jike said.

"The dim sum will not be big, so it's normal to think about it. Wang Huai sighed: "I've always wanted to go to Rongcheng, but I haven't had time recently." ”

The old man said and handed the melon seeds to Gu Chen and Chen Pianzhen and asked, "You want to eat and catch yourself." ”

Gu Chen and Chen Pianzhen nodded, standing next to them like elementary school students, just if there was only the old man Wang Huai, the two of them were quite free, but with Wang Jike here, they had to be more disciplined.

"If it weren't for my family's Xiaoqiang, I wouldn't have crossed paths with Chef Yuan, and I wouldn't believe that there really are young chefs under the age of 30 whose cooking skills are so good, and most importantly, their attitude towards cooking is so serious and rigorous. Wang Jike said.

"It's right to think about it, the younger generation is now better-off, better nourished, smarter, and will definitely achieve more than us old men. Wang Huai looked at Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen.

Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen wanted to say, don't put them and Yuan Zhou together, surpass Wang Huai and Wang Jike, Yuan Zhou can do it, that doesn't mean they can do it at all!

As the founder of the "Huaidao Department", Mr. Wang Huai is the chef of Su cuisine who has entered the Huaxia Famous Chef Restaurant, and he has also instructed Wang Jike in his cooking skills, so he is half of Wang Jike's master.

Wang Jike came today to exchange the insights he learned from Yuan Zhou, so he talked about Yuan Zhou.

"Say, Pian Zhen and Xiao Chen have any questions to ask me. Wang Huai said.

"Master, we are not here to ask about cooking skills today, we are also here today to have something to do with Chef Yuan......

Before Chen Pianzhen finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Huai, and he asked, "Hmm, Chef Yuan is going to have a dim sum party again, and the invitation is sent to you?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was eating, so it seems that the old man Wang Huai is not able to eat, but a foodie.

"No, Chef Yuan announced a big event today. Chen Pianzhen said.

"What's the big deal, why don't I know?" Wang Jike said, after returning from Rongcheng, he was very concerned about the news of the Chef God Shop, but he hadn't received the news yet.

"It was news from this morning. Chen Pianzhen said.

Gu Chen answered: "It's spread on the Internet, maybe Chef Wang and Master Wang discussed things this morning and didn't see it." ”

After Gu Chen received the news for the first time, he immediately looked for Chen Pianzhen because Chen Pianzhen could speak well.

Wang Jike asked, "What's the big deal?" ”

The old man Wang Huai on the side was waiting to listen to the melon seeds.

"Regarding the news of roasting whole beef, Chef Wang and Shigong should know about it. Chen Pianzhen said.

Wang Huai and Wang Jike nodded, and the latter also said that he still had to eat the roasted whole beef.

"There are still some problems to be improved in this year's Huaidao Banquet, I don't have time to go, Ji Ke, you must take more pictures when you go, you can't eat it, I'll take a look." Old Man Wang said.

"I'm not very good at taking pictures. Wang Jike said.

Old man Wang said: "It's okay, just HD." ”

After the two communicated, Chen Pianzhen continued: "Chef Yuan said that at the horse banquet, there will be a show of cooking. ”

"Impossible!"

Hearing the four words of Ku Ding Jie, Mr. Wang Huai almost subconsciously denied it, you must know that as a chef who pursues the ultimate in knife work, he has naturally studied Ku Ding Xie Niu.

And more than once, when Mr. Wang Huai was thirty years old, he had been in retreat for a long time, wanting to restore it and shock the world.

But it failed.

At the age of forty-five, another study was conducted, but it still failed.

Until ten years ago, the old man was in his sixties and wanted to do something for the Chinese culinary industry, but undoubtedly failed.

"In order to achieve what Zhuangzi said about the Ox, you must first use your eyes to perceive the cow with your spirit, and this alone is already a legendary thing, a cow is extremely complex, how to perceive it without eyes?" Wang Huai said.

"The most important thing is the knife, each knife must follow the texture of the beef, which I can do, but each knife cuts to the gap between the muscles and bones, and at the same time can not touch the bones at all, the blade must go from between the bones, not to mention how difficult it is to grasp the spacing between the bones of the cow, and the gaps between the muscles and bones, which is accurate to the millimeter, and no knife worker can do this. ”

Old man Wang Huai is different from others, others only know that Ku Ding is very magical, and it is a product of miracles, but if you want to restore it, you don't know where the difficulty is.

Because I don't understand, I think it's impossible.

However, because Mr. Wang knew too well, after all, he had the experience of three failures and knew the specific difficulty, so he thought it was impossible.

Old man Wang Huai is so categorical, Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen are really hard to refute.

And Wang Jike turned on his mobile phone and began to inquire about the news.

"It must be a tabloid rumor, Chef Yuan's knife skills are only weak and not strong compared to me, and Ku Ding Jieniu should just be an adjective. At the same time, Wang Jike didn't believe that Yuan Zhou was a person who spoke wildly, so he made the most consistent judgment.

The reporter of Youth Daily called to ask President Zhou and Boss Wu Yungui, and confirmed that the news that Chef Yuan really wanted to restore the cow was true, and it would really be shown at the horse banquet. Chen Pianzhen said.

So exactly.

Wang Huai himself also turned on his mobile phone, although he was not as slippery as young people, but it was no problem to check the news, indeed as Chen Pianzhen said, many official departments reported on this matter, and Xiang Kitchen Federation lifted a big banner on the homepage of the official website.

The room was silent for a moment.

"Ji Ke, do you need an invitation for the Horse Banquet?" Wang Huai broke the silence in the room with his own words.

"Except for a few people who have been specially invited to thank them, the rest can go by themselves. Wang Jike inquired quite clearly.

"Is there a problem with the Elder Wang's going to the Knife Banquet? Wang Jike knew that after the death of his wife, Mr. Wang cared most about the knife banquet.

"Essentially, because I know about cooking, I think of it as a skill that cannot be restored, but I also believe in Chef Yuan and Chef Yuan, so I must see the specific situation myself. Wang Huai said.

"Chef Yuan is extremely serious about his cooking skills, if it is not 90%, or even 100% consistent, he will not say that he has succeeded in restoring. Wang Jike said.

"If it's true, the plaque of the Sword King should have a master. Wang Huai sighed a long sigh.

There is no first in the text, and there is no second in the martial arts. No matter how many times I look at it, I feel that the ancients spoke too reasonably, and I don't know how many chefs covet the plaque of the King of Knives.

"Master ......"

Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen said at the same time that the signature of the King of Knives has been maintained in the hands of Huaiyang cuisine chefs for more than 30 years.

This is a representative, Huaiyang cuisine is the best in the domestic knife workers, if it is awarded to Yuan Zhou, then ......

"Needless to say, the king of knives is originally the reputation of the ultimate in knife work, and the culmination of the cow is the ultimate in knife work. Wang Huai said: "Obtaining the plaque of the King of Knives requires the consent of all the directors of the association, but I believe that if it is true, all the directors will no longer have objections." ”

"What time is the Horse Banquet? Wang Huai asked.

Wang Jike said: "The day after tomorrow, the horse banquet will start the day after tomorrow." ”

"Then I'll go to Rongcheng tomorrow, this news should be known, Pian Zhen and Xiaochen, you go and ask the director of the Su Cuisine Association, if you want to go together, buy the ticket together." Wang Huai arranged.

"I know Shigong. Chen Pianzhen and Gu Chen immediately responded.

The Horse Banquet and the Cow Relief have indeed touched the hearts of many celebrity chefs.
