Chapter 1551: I'm Not Qualified
"I'll just say I'm the most accurate one. Francie said with a smug face.
"No, I think it's more than that, there's something else in it. Manfred said with a pensive expression.
"President, I think you think too much, I think this is the taste of Chinese spring, and it is also the taste of our French romantic spring, because there is a charming floral fragrance in it, which is really peculiar. August squinted and chewed the bun again, and said pleasantly.
"Yes, there is a petal called locust flower, which is a long string of small white flowers, and the flowering season is from April to May, and the flowering period is only ten to fifteen days, and this petal is only picked today. Chu Xiao nodded.
"And we have a tradition of eating flowers in China, which is romantic and poetic in the eyes of ancient literati. Chu Xiao continued.
"Oh, I think it's funny, too. Francie said curiously.
"Yes, we still use flowers to make tea or make essential oils, and we still eat them, but this is the first time we have eaten this kind of flower. Manfred nodded.
"Yes, elderflower will be used to make soups and more tea. August shrugged.
"Hey, I'm not interested in this flower or anything else, I just want to know if there is anything else called this food called buns?" Francie touched his stomach and continued, "After all, this is too small, I haven't eaten enough." ”
"I think you can see for yourself. Chu Xiao motioned to Francie to look at Yuan Zhou.
From the moment Yuan Zhou put down the microphone just now, Yuan Zhou began to prepare the ingredients for lunch at noon, after all, cooking a meal for two hundred people at a time is still one person, so naturally it needs to be prepared all the time.
And now Yuan Zhou is pounding in the stone mortar with a thick wooden pestle, as the muscles of Yuan Zhou's arm are slightly raised, the wooden pestle falls down not lightly or heavily, making a slight crackling sound, if you smell it carefully, you can still smell the aroma of rice.
"Is this making new food?" asked Francie, immediately attracted by Yuan Zhou's new way of cooking.
"Yes, I think you should listen carefully to what President Zhou has to say. Chu Xiao said.
"No way, I've just completely immersed myself in the deliciousness of this bun. Francie reluctantly pointed to the empty steamer in front of him.
"No, I think you're just eating. August complained unceremoniously.
"Of course, you must know that I have been thinking about Chef Yuan's dishes since I ate them half a year ago. Francie was not ashamed and admitted it directly.
"Well, the smell is really impressive. August savored the faint fragrance in his mouth and nodded in agreement.
"I think I should have invited this Chef Yuan to the Celebrity Chef Association earlier. Manfred said.
"Of course, I can personally write a letter of recommendation for him. August immediately nodded and said positively.
In fact, not everyone can enter this celebrity chef association, and ordinary entry into the association requires the recommendation of three celebrity chefs of different nationalities, and then after assessment and identification, before they can be approved to enter.
This assessment includes whether you have won awards in international culinary competitions, as well as your reputation and accolades among chefs.
It can be said that the current celebrity chef association is of Chinese descent, but only Chu Xiao is a pure Chinese national, and even Zhou Shijie has not entered.
Chu Xiao is the honorary chairman of the Asian side, and Fujiwara Iemoto is also there, and he is the chairman of the Japanese Celebrity Chefs Association, so it is said that Fujiwara Iemoto, the Japanese who knows Chinese cuisine best, is very recognized.
The exclusion of Japan from the whole of Asia is not a displeasure, precisely because Japanese chefs and cuisine are more recognized abroad.
The difference between an honorary president and a president is that an honorary president is an honor given by recognizing and respecting the skills he possesses, but does not assume work tasks or responsibilities.
The President, on the other hand, has the power to exercise his powers, and the President has three nominations, but only one Honorary President.
Therefore, it is still difficult to enter this celebrity chef association, after all, after you enter, all your speeches and ideas about cooking will be circulated and recorded to be recorded in the history of chefs.
And this is another way to enter the association, that is, to have a handwritten recommendation letter from the president of the North American Celebrity Chefs Association, August, so that only one person needs to recommend you to enter directly.
Speaking of recommending Manfred and Auguste, they couldn't help but look at Chu Xiao, because Chu Xiao also had a recommendation quota in his hand, but he didn't recommend Yuan Zhou, which made the two feel a little strange.
"Chu, why haven't you recommended this Chef Yuan?" Manfred asked solemnly.
After all, it is also the obligation of these people to recommend good chefs.
August also looked at Chu Xiao curiously, obviously he knew that Chu Xiao respected Yuan Zhou very much and regarded him as an opponent, after all, Chu Xiao's mobile phone was full of videos of Yuan Zhou's cooking exchanges.
But it was because of this that August became even more curious.
"Because I'm not qualified enough to recommend. Chu Xiao was very direct and said seriously.
"Huh?" Before Manfred could react, August on the side immediately understood what Chu Xiao meant.
"Chu, you are also a rare genius chef. "August Road.
"Yes, Chu you are very good. Manfred nodded in the affirmative.
"Of course. Chu Xiao nodded as a matter of course, but when he looked at Yuan Zhou, he couldn't help but say, "But he is a natural chef." ”
"Yes, I like that very much. August's eyes lit up and he said approvingly.
Indeed, from the beginning of his entry to the present, in such an environment, his attention has been on his own dishes, without the slightest distraction, other chefs will always care about other people's comments in the face of such occasions, but he does not have any at all. Manfred said with admiration.
Who doesn't care about what others say? Not to mention that it is related to the success of their own personal cooking exhibition, but in Manfred's observation, Yuan Zhou does not fluctuate in the slightest.
Even if someone shouted that the amount of buns was too small to eat, Chef Yuan only explained that this was a brunch, and the amount eaten at this time just didn't affect the lunch for a while.
His demeanor was steady, his tone was natural, and there was no fluctuation at all, as if it were just an ordinary banquet that could not be more ordinary, rather than an important cooking show about his career.
At this time, Manfred also understood what Chu Xiao meant by being disqualified.
"Speaking of which, how satisfied do you think this Chef Yuan will get?" asked Francie, who was not interested in what they were talking about the Celebrity Chef Association, and asked himself on another topic.
While Francie was bringing up the topic, the rest of the Celebrity Chef Guild was also discussing the issue.
