Chapter 492: His name is Zhou Annian
Several chefs came out one after another, and Ren Jiahua also looked at a chef beside him: "An Nian, you can try it too." ”
Zhou Annian was stunned for a moment when he heard Ren Jiahua's words, but still nodded: "Okay, I know." ”
The chef who came out of the queue muttered a little in an instant: "Why did you send him out? Isn't this a clear bully?"
There are also those who are not convinced, looking at Zhou Annian with a little challenging eyes.
"I lost to you before, but I won't do it this time!"
"I've wanted to have a hand with him for a long time, but I didn't have a chance, so I finally waited!"
Su Zifang also saw that something was actually wrong from a long distance, and hurriedly looked at the top melon seller Ma Jiang.
Ma Jiang really didn't disappoint him, and said a big melon more than ten years ago in a few words.
At that time, Gu Pingping's generation of chefs was not very old, almost the same as Su Zifang.
The Huaxia Young Chef Forum has only just been held for a few years, and the requirements for the contestants to participate are not so strict, so all kinds of chefs have signed up.
Some of them have always had restaurants open at home, others are just hobbies, and some people think that this is taught by chefs, so they come all the way to learn. As a result, when I went to the scene, I found that it was the chefs who communicated, so I went back.
Zhou Annian was the chef who appeared at this time.
At that time, there was no sect or faction, and it was not one of the eight major cuisines, and it is said that he only studied with the chef of a small restaurant for a few years, and his knife skills were up to standard, and he barely passed the senior chef exam.
Everyone thought that Zhou Annian was just a small role, the kind that would be eliminated in the first round, so they didn't take it to heart at all.
As a result, Zhou Annian lived up to expectations and was eliminated by the Lu cuisine chef of the Kong family in the first round!
At the forum in the second year, Zhou Annian appeared again, took the stage, and faced the chef of Sichuan cuisine who was defeated again.
In the following years, Zhou Annian was defeated continuously, and at the same time, he also met all the masters of major domestic cuisines.
Until the tenth time.
Zhou Annian participated in the Huaxia Chef Forum for the last time.
The chefs who had seen him before all sighed at his persistence, and even the leading chefs of several cuisines were a little admired and wanted to accept Zhou Annian as an apprentice.
Such a persistent chef, even if he learns slowly, is more likely to become a celebrity chef than some talented chefs.
There were already chefs who threw an olive branch to Zhou Annian.
However, in this forum, Zhou Annian was not at all like the performance of the previous sessions.
From the first round, he was like a bamboo, and he defeated his opponent with an absolute advantage in each round, and finally became the first place in the year.
As a senior chef, you can go directly to the Fishing Hotel and become an assistant chef.
Su Zifang was puzzled when he heard this title: "Is it just an assistant chef?" I thought it was directly a stove chef." ”
Ma Jiang knew that this was Su Zifang's unfamiliarity with the situation in the fishing hotel, so he patiently explained.
"As the top restaurant in China, Diaoyu Hotel is not based on the general restaurant classification. ”
"You can understand it as various departments: such as Sichuan cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Shandong cuisine, ......"
"The chef is the main chef in charge of each department, and there are usually one or two chefs in each cuisine, who are usually responsible for the preparation of various dishes. ”
"The next is the assistant chef, who is responsible for arranging the preparation of each dish, taking care of the heat, and taking care of some dishes that are not generally required. ”
"Finally, there are the cutting boards and water tables, collectively known as the kitchen assistants. ”
"The assistant chef is the person who assists the chef in directly managing the assistant chef and the assistant chef, and he will also learn from the chef, and he has more opportunities to cook than the assistant chef, so it can be said that he is basically a candidate for the chef. ”
As soon as he said this, Su Zifang instantly understood.
The assistant chef is the second-in-command of the fishing hotel, the real power position, and the probability of succession.
Compared to the apprenticeship in the small restaurant before Zhou Annian, it is completely different.
However, in order to complete this leap, Zhou Annian spent ten years.
Thinking of this, Su Zifang suddenly had another question: "No, if he still failed in the ninth year, then how did he do it in the last year?"
Ma Jiang glanced at Su Zifang and nodded slightly, revealing an expression that you are not too stupid.
"Who said Master Zhou lost the first nine years?"
Su Zifang: ......
"Didn't you just say that? The first round didn't even pass. ”
Ma Jiang sighed.
"Chef Zhou has been studying for the first nine years, and because of the competition, chefs from all factions will come up with the strongest dishes they can meet. ”
"Nine years is enough time for Chef Zhou to learn and improve the dishes of the best chefs of all cuisines. ”
He didn't say where he had spent all his free time in the last nine years, but in his final year, he used the dishes he had failed in the previous nine years to beat other chefs again. ”
Su Zifang: !!
He seemed to see a Zhao Xi plus.
One is to learn to repeat a grade, and the other is to learn to work hard to lose games.
Sure enough, people with such perseverance will not end up with bad results, after all, people can be ruthless to themselves, and they will succeed in whatever they do.
Su Zifang sighed with emotion, watched the next dishes prepared by several chefs, and began to look forward to Zhou Annian's dishes.
If a chef can connect all the major cuisines, how far can his dishes go?
He's looking forward to it!
As he spoke, several chefs had already begun to prepare, and there was no help in the cooking, and they were all in charge of the cooking from cleaning to cooking.
The technician's aura was in full bloom at this moment.
To be honest, more than a dozen technicians took the stage to cook at the same time, and this kind of thing was the first time in Su Zifang's memory.
Both eyes had no idea where to look.
I also want to see the peace and tranquility of Shandong cuisine, and I want to see the freshness and elegance of Cantonese cuisine, and I don't want to miss the uniqueness of Shaanxi cuisine, but also want to observe the strange and varied Yunnan cuisine......
But in the end, his eyes were still on Zhou Annian from the heart.
In fact, in addition to Su Zifang, the choices of other people who have the ability to know Zhou Annian's identity are almost the same, and he can defeat the best chefs of several major cuisines in China head-on, Zhou Annian's strength should definitely not be underestimated.
And he hasn't shown his cooking skills outside for seven or eight years, and no one knows how far he's progressing now.
Because I don't know, I'm curious.
Zhou Annian has a few pieces of tofu at hand, from tender tofu to old tofu and yellow tofu from Yunnan Province.
This made Su Zifang, who was familiar with tofu, a little unclear about what he was going to do.
But soon, Zhou Annian moved.
The winter melon cut an arc circle, put away the knife and fell, and in less than five minutes, he actually carved a prototype of a map of China.
Dig out spaces according to the boundaries of each province.
"What is this going to do?" the cooks in the audience bewildered each other.
Su Zifang looked at this similar technique and suddenly froze, and after a while, he muttered: "This is the container!"
"A thirty-four-course container!"
