Yuan Zhou asked Kosen to sit down, but he didnt dare to do so. Instead, he cowered away seriously.

Even when Colin was teaching him, he would stand and listen. Moreover, Colin had always been strict with him. He didnt even call him father in public and could only call him head chef.

No need. Head chef Yuan, you can sit. Ill just stand. Thus, Kosen shook his head and said.

Yuan Zhou took a look at koeson. When he saw his serious expression, he didnt say anything more. He just nodded and said,Alright, he said.

Theres not much time. If you have any questions, just ask. Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly without beating around the bush.

OK, head chef Yuan, Kosen nodded and paused for a moment. He straightened his back and tidied himself up before speaking again,Head chef Yuan, I would like to ask how you can manage two regional cuisines at the same time. Of course, you have to manage multiple cuisines at the same time.

I mean me. Its because I want to learn Sichuan cuisine, Before Kosen came, he must have organized his words, but he was still a little stammering when he asked.

Yuan Zhou didnt hurry to speak. Instead, he looked at Kosen and waited for him to finish speaking.

Sure enough, Kosen spoke again.Of course, my main focus is still on Guizhou cuisine. However, I feel that the cuisines of the three provinces in the southwest actually have something in common. Therefore, I want to draw parallels from them and gain inspiration from Sichuan cuisine to improve the cooking skills of Guizhou cuisine.

But I found that my energy is limited, so I cant learn Sichuan cuisine well. I even have a vague understanding of it. Kosen seriously voiced his doubts.

In fact, this matter had been buried in Kosens heart for a long time.

There was no doubt that Colin was a master of Guizhou cuisine. Therefore, he had been teaching Colin cooking since he was very young. It could even be said that he had been nurtured since young.

So far, Colin had a very, very good understanding of the Guizhou cuisine, but this understanding and knowledge basically came from him.

The advantage of having a master was that he could walk a smooth path to the end, but the disadvantage was that it was difficult to have his own ideas.

Colin often said that his basic skills were very solid, but he couldnt finish his apprentices.h.i.+p because his cooking skills couldnt reach his standards.

At first, Kohen did not understand, but he slowly came to realize that he was just like a younger version of Kolin. He did not have his own ideas when it came to cooking.

Two years ago, after realizing this, Kosen had spent a lot of effort trying to find his fathers mortar nest, but he had not been very successful.

This was something that Colin could not teach. He could see the problem, but he could not teach it. After all, he was the mortar nest of Colin.

However, he knew what his son Kosen was thinking. He wanted to learn Sichuan cuisine to improve his cooking skills.

Therefore, Collin had spent a huge price to get Colson to partic.i.p.ate in the young chefs exchange meeting last time. One reason was to increase his culinary skills in such a large-scale compet.i.tion, and the other was to get some advice from Yuan Zhou who had mastered many cuisines.

Is there any other purpose in learning Sichuan cuisine besides trying to comprehend by a.n.a.logy? After Yuan Zhou heard that, he raised a question.

I want to jump out of my fathers cooking framework. Kosen looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly and said.

In the entire cooking circle, the number of people who could possibly solve the problem of Kosen could be counted with ones fingers. Yuan Zhou was one of them.

Okay, I understand. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said. Kosen was a little like w.a.n.g Mingjie.

In fact, no matter what industry it was, if the Father was too successful, the children would easily live in the shadow of the Father. This shadow didnt refer to the psychological aspect, but the skill aspect. w.a.n.g Mingjie was the most obvious example.

Then how should I learn Sichuan cuisine and make my cooking skills become one plus one greater than two instead of less than two? Kosen could not help but ask anxiously.

To put it simply, you want to know how to learn Sichuan cuisine and how to acc.u.mulate experience points. Kosens words were a little confusing. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou understood him and summarized what he said.

In the end, Yuan Zhou asked,I remember you said you havent finished studying the Guizhou cuisine.

Thats right. Guizhou cuisine has four major categories: earth, ethnic, folk, and wild interest. It would be too arrogant to say that youve learned them all. After Mr. Kosen said that, he suddenly realized something and quickly explained, Im talking about me, not head chef Yuan. Head chef Yuan is not a normal person, so he can naturally master it.

Not a normal person? Yuan Zhou felt that his words sounded so strange. Kosen hadnt come to his senses yet and was still trying to make up for what he had said just now.

Yes, I understand what you mean. Lets continue talking about the Guizhou cuisine,Yuan Zhou stopped him.

Okay, I want to learn Sichuan cuisine to open up new cooking ideas. Said Kosen.

I remember that master Colin is good at folk cuisine, right? Yuan Zhou didnt answer Kosens question, but changed the subject and asked.

Yes, my father is good at many dishes, but he is really good at folk food. Kosen nodded.

Yes, I saw that your cooking method at the conference was very similar to master Colin s. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

When he heard Yuan Zhou say that he cooked like his father, Kosen, he couldnt help revealing a bitter smile. As expected, he was just a copy of his father.

Guizhou cuisine not only has a distinct ethnic and regional personality, but it is also widely available and adaptable. To put it bluntly, it is composed of spicy, sour, fragrant, and fresh. Yuan Zhou started to spread the knowledge by himself.

Yes, head chef Yuan is right. Kosen felt a little inexplicable. He didnt know why Yuan Zhou suddenly brought up this matter that all chefs of Guizhou cuisine knew. Nevertheless, he still nodded his head earnestly.

And you only know the folk cuisines of the Guizhou cuisines. Youre not even completely familiar with them, but you want to learn Sichuan cuisines. Yuan Zhou continued.

I think you must have forgotten about the Sichuan and Guizhou cuisines when you were thinking about learning Sichuan cuisine. Yuan Zhou looked at Kohen and said solemnly.

No, I didn t. Kosen shook his head and was about to say something, but he suddenly thought of something and shut his mouth.

With the development of society, there are many cuisines that have entered into Guizhou cuisine. Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, and Hunan cuisine have all blended with Guizhou cuisine. Many chefs of Guizhou cuisine have used their imagination and cooking skills to improve these dishes and make them to suit the local taste. Yuan Zhou paused for a while and then said.

Folk cuisine, folk cuisine, toasts, wild cuisine There are so many varieties of cuisines. If you want to jump out of your fathers nest, I think you might not understand one or two sentences.

Theres still an hour and forty minutes left. Ill make you a table full of dishes. Look carefully. Yuan Zhou stood up and said.

This Thank you, head chef Yuan. Hearing this, Kosen was very surprised and immediately bowed down. He did not expect there to be a live lesson.

Get up, he said. After Yuan Zhou said that, he turned around and went to prepare the ingredients. Since it was the reward of the exchange meeting of young chefs, he would definitely do his best to fulfill his duty and make this trip of Kosen and das.h.i.+ xiujie worthwhile.

In Yuan Zhous opinion, Kosens problem was actually very simple. He had thought too much and reached a dead end, thus he got trapped.

After all, the most important thing in cooking was the basic skills. This was the same for everyone, and above that, it was the display of skills.

It was obvious that Kosens technique was not bad, but because of his fathers performance, he was confused and felt that he could not surpa.s.s his father no matter what.

The reason why Yuan Zhou cooked the Guizhou cuisine for him was to tell him that skills were skills. As long as he learned it, it would be his.

Very soon, Yuan Zhou came back with a dustpan, which was filled with ingredients. Although there were many ingredients, they were all arranged in a very good manner.

I have a request before I start cooking. You need to cook two dishes in addition to looking at them. Ill let you cook the last two dishes and you can eat them after youre done. Yuan Zhou said.

As soon as he said that, Kosen s.h.i.+vered and became a little fl.u.s.tered. He knew the rules of Yuan Zhous restaurant very well. If he couldnt finish the dishes, he would be blacklisted.

However, in order to have a good conversation today, Kosen had naturally eaten lunch before coming here. He felt that he had not digested it yet.

Since he still had to cook two more dishes, in addition to head chef Yuans dish, he felt that it was necessary for him to buy some stomach medicine.

Thats right. Kosen misunderstood Yuan Zhous meaning that he needed to eat up all the food that he had prepared.

However, Yuan Zhou didnt have that worry. On the one hand, it was the matter of the quant.i.ty On the other hand, a familiar voice should be heard at this time.

Im here, no leftovers!

The male voice was within Yuan Zhous expectations, but to Kosen, it was like the sound of nature.

Ill help too. Wu Hais voice came from the Sergestes wall scenery gate again.

Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and walked over quickly from the door.

Although Wu Hai didnt hear anything, he saw Yuan Zhou holding the ingredients.

Head chef Yuan, may I know if you are okay with that? Kosen was excited inwardly, but he still asked for Yuan Zhous opinion earnestly.

Its good that you dont mind. After all, this is your teaching time. Yuan Zhou said.

No, no, no. I welcome Mr. Wu to comment on my dishes. Kosen immediately said.

Youre welcome, Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said in a decent manner.

Yuan Zhou took a look at her and then went directly to the kitchen range to prepare to cook without saying anything.

Its time to act tough, oh no, its time to teach!
