Chapter 2423: What Yuan Zhou is not good at

Translator: 549690339

Yesterday, Cheng zhaomei called to say that she wanted to come to the restaurant with Zhang Yan to discuss some important things and asked if Yuan Zhou had time. Therefore, he left his time free.

Zhang Yan looked at Cheng zhaomei and motioned for him to speak. This matter was the Sichuan cuisine Association’s matter, and Cheng zhaomei, as the chairman, had an unshirkable responsibility. On the other hand, he was very concerned about the Sichuan cuisine Association’s Affairs. He would feel uncomfortable if he did not come to take a look when there was a big event.

Therefore, he came here together with Yuan Zhou this time. Of course, it was also because Zhang Yan was familiar with Yuan Zhou. As Yuan Zhou’s status rose, ordinary people didn’t dare to disturb him at will.

To be honest, the relationship between Zhang Yan and Cheng zhaomei was actually very complicated. Logically speaking, they were more than ten years apart, so there should be a difference in seniority. However, they were chefs of the same generation, so they were considered to be of the same generation. His daughter, Zhang Ying, had to call Cheng zhaomei uncle Cheng.

But later on, Cheng zhaomei became Yuan Zhou’s student. To be honest, Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills were even better than Zhang Yan ‘s, but he was the youngest.

After this round, it was no longer easy to count. Therefore, ever since Cheng zhaomei became the chairman, Zhang Yan had been calling her that. In the past, calling her master Cheng was also a form of address. No matter how the seniority changed, it was always right to call her that.

Cheng zhaomei saw Zhang Yan’s expression and said,””Master, I’ve been looking through some past information in the Association recently and found that many classic Sichuan cuisines that have been passed down by word of mouth are on the verge of being lost. It’s not that the master doesn’t want to pass it on, but that he can’t find a suitable inheritor. Many of them are no longer famous. I also found that some of the cuisines have never been heard of. I think it’s a huge loss for Sichuan cuisine to let these cuisines disappear like this.”

After a pause, Cheng zhaomei continued,””Sichuan cuisine itself is all about a hundred dishes and a hundred flavors. If it loses some of its uniqueness, then the path of Sichuan cuisine will probably not go far.”

In the past, Cheng zhaomei was only Yuan Zhou’s apprentice. All she thought about was to learn how to cook well and to open the Cheng family’s restaurant. That was all she wanted to do in life. Ever since she became the chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association, the future development of Sichuan cuisine had become her top priority. It was almost on par with learning how to cook well.

Cheng zhaomei was also quite good at cooking. At least, his own cooking skills were excellent. Even if he competed with other famous chefs, he would not lose out at all. Therefore, ever since Cheng zhaomei became the chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association, she wanted to make Sichuan cuisine the top of the eight major cuisines.

It had always been his goal to increase the right of speech and the importance of Sichuan cuisine among the various cuisines.

The problem of Sichuan cuisine that Cheng zhaomei had discovered actually existed in other cuisines. In the past, the chef industry was in the form of a Master Teaching his disciple. This method naturally had its advantages and disadvantages.

There was no need to use paper to transmit words. It was only transmitted through the mouth. Not only was everyone’s comprehension ability different, but there would also be differences when it was transmitted. Even the same sentence had different pauses, and the meaning could be completely different. Not to mention, there were also changes in tone and speaking habits.

......

This resulted in the awkward situation where only a few old chefs knew how to cook many dishes, but there was no inheritor. This was also the current situation that Cheng zhaomei was worried about.

“The problem you mentioned is not only present in Sichuan cuisines but also in other cuisines. What do you think?” Yuan Zhou asked.

As for Cheng zhaomei, Yuan Zhou was quite assured and optimistic about her. Not only did she have a good perception, but she was also very hardworking. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have accepted him as a disciple in order to complete the system’s mission.

Cheng zhaomei had obviously thought about this problem and discussed it with Zhang Yan, so she left it to him to do the talking while Zhang Yan drank the tea.

Therefore, it was unknown whether Zhang Yan came here because he was worried about the Sichuan cuisine Association or just to drink the top-quality tea leaves of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

“Actually, there isn’t a good solution for now. This problem has existed for a long time. Some dishes have disappeared. Without the skills of the master chef, it’s just a name. Almost no one can make the dishes except the master chef.” At this point, Cheng zhaomei licked her lips in embarrassment and continued,””Therefore, I’d like to ask master to come out and communicate with the existing Masters first. Then, I’ll ask those Masters to record their special dishes into videos and save them. Not only will they leave behind information, but they will also be able to find a successor.”

“Of course, there are some dishes that have been lost. It would be even better if master could find the time to restore them. However, there’s no rush in this matter. We can take it slowly. Master can do it according to his own thoughts. ”

Cheng zhaomei knew how busy her master was. She felt very embarrassed to add to his workload now. However, only Yuan Zhou had the ability to restore it so easily. Even Zhang Yan didn’t have the ability to do so. He might even be able to restore it after several years of research, which was obviously not worth the effort.

Yuan Zhou muttered to himself for a while and said,”what you said is indeed a good method. However, it’s not enough to only cook Sichuan cuisine. Your other junior brothers and sisters might also encounter the same problem. How about this? we’ll use Sichuan cuisine as the template and fix this method. The other cuisines will follow this pattern in the future. It’ll be better this way.”

In fact, apart from some minor differences, Yuan Zhou didn’t treat his direct disciples and registered disciples too differently. Of course, it was true that Cheng zhaomei would get a lot of attention from Yuan Zhou. The pressure was also different. After all, she was his senior brother.

Cheng zhaomei’s eyes lit up when she heard Yuan Zhou’s words. It was indeed better to do so. Not only would it be beneficial to Sichuan cuisines, but it would also be beneficial to other cuisines. As the reserve Chairman of Zhou Shijie’s cuisines, he had a good view of the big picture.

Originally, Zhou Shijie’s target was Yuan Zhou. However, ever since Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills became better and better and the China chef’s Association became independent from the China chef’s Association, he had basically dispelled this idea.

If the scale of the chef’s Association was too small, it would limit Yuan Zhou’s development. This was something Zhou Shijie didn’t want to see. Although it was a pity, he reluctantly gave up. However, Cheng zhaomei, who was taught by Yuan Zhou, was a good choice. Not only was her cooking skills high, but her cooking ethics were also good. Yuan Zhou had no worries about checking her.

“That’s indeed a good idea. Little Yuan, it’s a good idea. If we add the desserts, it will be better, right?” Zhang Ji couldn’t help but speak up for his good friend Ji Yi.

The main reason was that steamed bun Ji was really heartbroken about the fact that Yuan Zhou didn’t belong to their circle of desserts. Unfortunately, he was amazed by Yuan Zhou’s dishes and thus was really in a dilemma.

“As for snacks, I don’t know everything yet. I might not be able to do it, and I need to settle down for a while.” Yuan Zhou considered for a while and then said.

Although there were many ways to make desserts in every cuisines, and as long as it was a reward cuisines, the system would give him the methods along with the desserts. He had even received the gift bag of street snacks before, there were actually many ways to make desserts that he didn’t know. Yuan Zhou was well aware of that in his heart.
