Due to the information and words of praise revealed by hang Tian, Yuan Zhou chatted with hang Tian for a while more before starting a new round of knife skills exchange.

As more and more dishes were exchanged, hang Tian’s evaluation of Yuan Zhou grew higher and higher. That was because every dish that Yuan Zhou cut and every knife he made was so perfect and even.

Moreover, hang Tian could see that Yuan Zhou knew every ingredient like the back of his hand. From where he started to cut to where he stopped, he was just right every time, not one bit more or less, which was very appropriate.

“Old Zhu really suffered a loss. He should have come to meet head chef Yuan earlier.” Looking at Yuan Zhou who was holding the knife, hang Tian sighed with emotion again.

It wasn’t that hang Tian had a high opinion of Yuan Zhou just by looking at his knife skills. It was just that knife skills were actually one of the basic skills of a chef.

However, the importance of basic cutting skills was beyond imagination. First of all, a dish needed to have superb cutting skills. The size of the dish had to be consistent. This way, when stir-frying, it could be guaranteed that every leaf or every piece of vegetable could be heated evenly. When they were taken out of the pot, the raw and cooked vegetables had to be consistent.

But now, Yuan Zhou’s knife skills had already surpassed this simple point and reached the point where it could be called an art.

Every vegetable that was cut out, whether it was taken out to look at it alone or combined together, was very beautiful and complete. Even the texture of the vegetables that were cut out was taken into consideration.

It was hard to describe with an internet slang. It was hard to imagine how terrifying this man was.

After all the vegetables in the bamboo basket had been cut, hang Tian could not help but say,””Little Yuan, are you interested in participating in the selection of the state banquet this year?”

“What?” Yuan Zhou looked at hang Tian with puzzlement.

“Chairman Zhou didn’t tell you?” Hang Tian asked.

“No, I didn ‘t,” Yuan Zhou shook his head.

Hang Tian didn’t expect that Yuan Zhou didn’t know anything about it. However, he didn’t think too much about it and just said,””China holds several state banquets every year. Some of them are for receiving foreign envoys, while others are high-class banquets for our country’s leaders and foreign leaders. Since it’s a banquet, there’s naturally no lack of good food. This is the state banquet.”

“Someone has to cook these state banquets, right? as for who’s going to do it, most of them are done by the chefs at the state banquet hotel. But now, some particularly outstanding ones will also be featured. I’ve only been there twice.” Hang Tian said.

“But I remember that the chefs of the state banquet have signed a labor contract, which usually lasts for five years.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Yes, but as long as you pass the political Review and come from a clean family, you can go to all kinds of cuisines, customs, and food from all countries. It can also be considered a kind of experience.” Hang Tian said.

“Furthermore, the state banquet requires a total of 160 chefs. Some of the spots can be recommended. I can recommend you, head chef Yuan.” Hang Tian was very serious when he said this.

At first, hang Tian was a little impulsive when he asked that question. It was because he had seen Yuan Zhou’s cutting skills and then he had a heart of adoration for him. But the more he said, the more he felt that such an opportunity should be left to a young man with outstanding craftsmanship like Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he became more and more sincere.

Yuan Zhou was a little tempted in his heart and didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he thought for a while seriously and then said solemnly.

“Thank you, but this state banquet mainly focuses on Huaiyang cuisine. Now, after several generations of chefs ‘careful arrangement, improvement, and refinement, as far as I know, the Sichuan cuisines are lacking in numbing, spicy, and greasy cuisines. Various cuisines have been improved from the original foundation. The recipes are generally light and the combination of meat and vegetables is important. I’m not up to the task yet.” Yuan Zhou shook his head and refused,”I can’t cook Huaiyang cuisine now. I’m still far from it.”

“It doesn’t suit you either. Let’s forget about the recommendation.” Hang Tian didn’t feel annoyed after being refused. Instead, he nodded his head after thinking carefully again and agreed with Yuan Zhou’s words.

“Thank you, master hang.” Yuan Zhou thanked him again.

“You’re welcome. Opportunities belong to young people like you.” Hang Tian said.

“Then I’ll go make lunch first. Please wait a moment.” Yuan Zhou smiled gently and didn’t say anything. Then, he changed the subject and said.

“Alright, then I’ll wait to eat.” Hang Tian said.

“Please wait a moment.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Hang Tian nodded his head at Yuan Zhou. Then, Yuan Zhou carried the ingredients that the two people had cut up and went to the kitchen of the restaurant.

Hang Tian, on the other hand, watched Yuan Zhou walk away and then sighed with emotion. Not to mention ordinary chefs, 99% of chefs would probably insist on the recommendation of the state banquet no matter how unsuitable they were. However, Yuan Zhou clearly knew that he was not suitable.

“He’s hardworking, talented, and has an objective evaluation of himself. He has a good heart. If such a person doesn’t succeed, what kind of person will succeed?” Hang Tian finally understood why Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan treated Yuan Zhou like a treasure. Such a young man had to be protected.

Hang Tian then took out his phone. This call was naturally to master Zhu, who had the same idea as him but did not take the time to come.

After all, hang Tian and he were good friends. Both of them had participated in the cooking of the state banquet and were top chefs, so they naturally had a good relationship.

The phone rang for a while before it was connected, and Zhu Zan’s voice came from the other end.

“Old hang, what’s wrong? Why are you looking for me at this time?” Zhu Zan said with great vigor.

“I’m in Rong city. ” Hang Tian didn’t keep him in suspense and said directly.

“You went to look for head chef Yuan?” Zhu Zan instantly understood what hang Tian meant and asked in surprise.

“Yes, I also asked for a cup of tea. It’s the day after tomorrow.” Hang Tian said.

“Are you talking about the Tea Party hosted by head chef Yuan?” Even though Zhu Yuan was far away in Guangdong, he obviously knew about Yuan Zhou’s Tea Party.

It was obvious that he had paid special attention to Yuan Zhou. This was also because Yuan Zhou’s reputation was not only high among the customers, but also among the chefs.

“Yes, I heard there was good tea, so I thickened my skin and asked for a cup.” Hang Tian nodded.

“Then you, old man, are really shameless. You actually asked for something from a junior.” Zhu Zan said with envy and jealousy.

“What junior? head chef Yuan is from the same generation as us. Of course, I’m not talking about his age, but his culinary skills.” Hang Tian said in an unpleasant tone.

On the other end of the phone, Zhu Zan was silent for a minute or two before he spoke again,””You have already communicated with head chef Yuan?”

“Yeah, we just had an exchange on knife skills.” Hang Tian nodded.

“How is it?” Zhu Zan only asked two words.

“Surpass Chu Xiao,” Hang Tian only replied with four words.

“Hiss.” Zhu Zan couldn’t help but hiss at the other end of the phone, and then said,””It’s really a generation of talents. ”

When Chu Xiao returned to the country, he swept away all the young chefs in the country and was regarded as an unparalleled genius in the cooking world by the older generation, just like Wu Hai in the painting world. However, they never thought that there would be a chef who was even more powerful and younger than Chu Xiao.

After all, it was hard to imagine a painter who was more talented than Wu Hai.

“That’s right,” Hang Tian agreed. After a while, he said,””Old man Zhu, don’t you think we’re getting old?”

“What’s wrong? Such a huge blow?” Zhu Zan teased.

“It’s not a blow. It’s just that head chef Yuan isn’t even 30 years old yet.” Hang Tian said.

“Haha, the young people these days are already amazing. What’s so strange about them surpassing us? don’t think too much. Our old Jiang is still useful.” Zhu Zan consoled.

“That’s true. We can also teach our disciples and make contributions to the cooking world.” When hang Tian said that, he obviously didn’t know that master Cheng was Yuan Zhou’s apprentice.

In hang Tian and Zhu Zan, even if they wanted to ask about Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills, they would do it openly. As for his private affairs, they would pay attention to avoid it. Therefore, they naturally didn’t know about this matter.

“You’re right,” Zhu Zan nodded in agreement and then continued,””It seems that I have to come to Rong city as soon as possible.”
