Chapter 839 Is it really grand?

President Hou's words were naturally a joke, but they revealed a special signal, that is, Chu Yunfeng did not come at least for the first time.

So he still had to wait for the president to "carry" him over. These masters felt a little uncomfortable hearing this.

This guy is quite assertive about relationships. You dare to let your second wife invite you. Are you too brave?
At the same time, I am even more curious about what this little guy who looks too young can do to win the favor of the two elders.

"Hello, Mr. Liu, Mr. Ji, hello all masters. My name is Chu Yunfeng. I'm new here. Please take care of me."

He was still aware of the newcomers, and out of respect for the masters, Chu Yunfeng smiled brightly and greeted everyone respectfully.

Chu Yunfeng said hello while observing the environment here, and at the same time checking everyone's expressions and reactions.

After opening the door just now, Chu Yunfeng was greatly shocked. Such a kitchen was simply incredible.

The first thing I felt was that it was neat. At a glance, everything was neatly arranged, and everything on the shelves beside the wall was labeled.

Everything is neatly placed there in a certain order, and it looks very impressive.

The second is cleanliness and tidiness. For a chef, the first thing to pay attention to is definitely the stove and wok, which are essential cooking tools for chefs.

The placement of the frying pan is very characteristic. It is placed upright, and you can see the bright color on the bottom of the pan at a glance. It is definitely shiny, and I don’t know how it was painted.

Chu Yunfeng sighed silently in his heart. It was indeed the temple of the culinary world, but it was different from those outside. People like Guo Kui who casually put the woks in will definitely be beaten here.
"Xiao Chu, come on, let me introduce you. These are the master chefs of the major cuisines here. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask them more.

This is Master Song who makes Hunan cuisine, this is Master Yang who makes Hunan cuisine, and this is Master Feng who makes Sichuan cuisine.

"

After this introduction, Chu Yunfeng had a general understanding of the composition of the chefs. Basically, there are more chefs in Shandong cuisine and Huaiyang cuisine, while Hunan cuisine, Anhui cuisine and Sichuan cuisine have the fewest chefs.

The least is Sichuan cuisine, and Master Feng is here alone to support the scene, and when I introduced him just now, it seemed that he looked at me a little differently, didn't he?

The first feeling is that Master Feng seems to know him, and there seems to be a smirk in his eyes, but I have no impression of him at all, so I can't help but feel a little strange.

Among these masters, except for Master Yang who was more enthusiastic about him, the rest of them had dull expressions. Of course Chu Yunfeng understood why.

It still depends on the face
This is too young for some professions, but it will be questioned. Chu Yunfeng suddenly thought of traditional Chinese medicine. If he was talented in that area, he would probably have no business opening a medical clinic, right?

Mr. Liu and Mr. Ji naturally showed a clear-minded attitude toward everyone, especially Mr. Ji. Standing together with President Hou, they were obviously waiting for a good show.

"Now that we have a new member, we can't lose our tradition. The joining ceremony still needs to be held. Do you have any other ideas?"

Mr. Liu mentioned tradition, which immediately aroused the interest of these masters, who all wanted to see what this young man was capable of.

Master Sun, who makes Su dishes, was the first to speak. As the person with the highest order rate of Su dishes in the team, Master Sun is quite active.

"Let's follow the old tradition and show off one of our specialty dishes first, and then let us come up with the test questions."

Chu Yunfeng was deeply impressed by Master Sun, because he was the thinnest among all the people here, and Mr. Liu had just told him that he was a monkey.

This Jiangsu cuisine is a major dish in state banquets. It is composed of four local dishes, namely Jinling cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, Suxi cuisine and Xuhai cuisine.

Therefore, Huaiyang cuisine is still an integral part of Jiangsu cuisine, and most Jiangsu cuisine chefs are masters of Huaiyang cuisine, which shows that their cooking skills are very high.

"I think it's okay, let's follow the old process!"

Master Yang raised his hand and made a fist. This was an encouragement to himself. It seemed that this sister still cared about him.

"agree!"

"no problem!"

"So be it!"

With everyone's unanimous consent, the "joining" ceremony for the newcomer is about to begin. This also allows everyone to have an understanding of the newcomer's level.

In a place like this, everything is strictly based on strength. People who are incompetent cannot stand, so everyone wants to see what Chu Yunfeng's level is first.

Isn't it just cooking, come and go, especially when Chu Yunfeng saw the shiny wok in the kitchen, his hands were itchy. Such materials and maintenance really made him feel refreshed.

"There are new woks and spoons on the wall, as well as other kitchen utensils. You can get a set of them yourself, and they will be your own utensils from now on."

Chu Yunfeng, who was about to start cooking, suddenly realized something. The stoves in front were all labeled with names, which meant that these kitchen utensils were exclusive to specific people.

When I first arrived, I seemed to have nothing, and naturally I didn’t like the kitchen utensils used by other master chefs.

Not to mention them, even Chu Yunfeng didn't want others to touch his own kitchen utensils. These were just a few mysophobia of a professional chef.

"Great, let me go take a look first!"

It's a good thing to receive welfare. Chu Yunfeng has long been eager to see what kind of material this pot is made of, and it can be used as a mirror to reflect people.

When Chu Yunfeng went to choose kitchen utensils, people would naturally come to inquire about Chu Yunfeng's details. It was impossible to say that no one was curious about such a young chef joining the team.

"Mr. Liu, who is this Chu Yunfeng? Can you tell us the truth?"

A master master asked quietly, and then all the master masters nearby pricked up their ears, hoping that Mr. Liu could reveal something.

"What's his background? He's just a chef. But I do know a little bit about his chef level. President Hou showed us his level certificate."

Mr. Liu first answered seriously, and then mentioned the chef level certificate in a pretentious manner, which immediately attracted everyone.

Everyone was silently guessing that the members who could come in should be at least technicians, right?

But look at Chu Yunfeng's age. Can he get a technician certificate at such a young age?

But if this were not the case, he would not be qualified to come in. So at this time, everyone looked at Chu Yunfeng. They did not expect that this little guy's cooking skills were not bad.

I don’t know which master’s apprentice he is, but he has passed the technician level at such a young age.

But then Mr. Liu said: "This Xiao Chu, his current chef certificate is still an advanced certificate."

What?Senior chef?

Are you kidding me?
How did this review pass?
Can this be considered a child's play?

A senior chef blends into a circle of powerful people, just like a husky blends into a pack of wolves. Once he encounters hunting prey, will this husky dare to attack?
Everyone thought they heard wrong, but they didn't expect Mr. Liu to continue to make more cuts. He asked President Hou seriously: "It's a senior chef certificate, right?"

Everyone turned their attention to President Hou, and he replied solemnly: "Yes, it is definitely a senior chef certificate, and I took him to test it myself last month."

The master chefs looked at each other in shock after hearing this "true" result, and then many of them couldn't help but show a look of contempt at Chu Yunfeng, who was excitedly selecting kitchen utensils.

I was silently guessing in my heart that this guy's background was already so big?
Can a place like this be gilded at will?

Gilded?
It must be here for gold plating. The master chefs have already identified Chu Yunfeng. Otherwise, how could a senior chef get into such a team?

And the most irritating thing is that many people were originally on vacation today, and they were not happy to be called back, just to welcome a potential newcomer.

Now this situation makes everyone feel a little angry, and even gradually become angry.

What does this make all the great figures in this industry think?
Seeing that the anger in the hearts of these masters was aroused, Mr. Liu and President Hou didn't seem to care at all. Instead, they watched Chu Yunfeng select kitchen utensils with interest.

Ji Lao, who was standing by, couldn't help it. He almost laughed and covered it up with his hands. He thought to himself that these two guys were really bad and had teamed up to deceive everyone.

In addition to making fun of everyone, President Hou also has another purpose, which is of course to steal the teacher.
From the corner of his eyes, President Hou saw the unkind expressions on the faces of these masters, and felt suffocated in his heart. He must have given Chu Yunfeng a good show of strength soon.

Then this old "tradition" will naturally make Chu Yunfeng gain a lot.

When he thought of this, President Hou almost laughed, but when he looked at Mr. Liu, he found that he was as stable as a mountain, and there was no problem at all.

Among all the masters, there is only one who thinks differently from everyone else, and that is Master Feng.

People here don’t know it well, don’t you know it yourself?

The first time I saw Chu Yunfeng, I recognized him. I was a little shocked at first, but more of a joy.

He had already heard the name Chu Yunfeng from his junior brother, Master Lin, and his ears had already become calloused. Master Lin would whisper a few words into his ears every time they met or talked on the phone.

Chu Yunfeng is also highly regarded, calling him No. 1 among the younger generation of Sichuan cuisine. He is even about to surpass the elders and become the "leader" of Sichuan cuisine.

At first, I was a little scornful of such comments, but as I got to know him better, I realized how powerful Chu Yunfeng was.

Moreover, Yipin's appearance rate in the news in the past two days is very high, and he can make traditional Sichuan cuisine into Thailand?
When he first saw the news, he slapped the table hard. He was proud of Sichuan cuisine going abroad, and his understanding of Chu Yunfeng became even deeper.

And how can someone who can cook traditional Sichuan cuisine to this level, even if he is so young, be as simple as a senior chef?
If these guys want to see his jokes, then just wait to fall into the pit dug by the second elder!
By the way, there is also the very unkind President Hou. He can deceive others, but if he wants to deceive himself, he is still not very good at it.

Seeing that Chu Yunfeng had chosen all the kitchen utensils with joy on his face, Master Feng enthusiastically led him to the end of the stove, where there were still a few unused ones for him to choose from.

The stove at the front was naturally occupied by the other master chefs, who were all ranked according to their qualifications. Chu Yunfeng was the last to come in, so as a newcomer, he was naturally ranked at the end.

"I want this stove!"

Chu Yunfeng glanced at the name of the stove next to him, and it happened to be Master Yang Haixia. As an old man here, he could ask for more advice if he had nothing to do.

"Okay, go ahead and put your name on it. After you have selected the kitchen utensils, organize them yourself, and then seize the time to cook. Don't you see that everyone is a little anxious?"

Anxious?
Mr. Liu's words made Chu Yunfeng look back, good guy, you are not in a hurry, you are clearly angry!

The expressions of the masters all seemed to be filled with anger, which was simply several orders of magnitude higher than the anxiety!
By the way, what's wrong with everyone?
Although Chu Yunfeng was confused about the situation, he quickly cleaned the kitchen utensils since he was so "anxious".

This cleaning action is quite quick, but it's not fast. There are so many pairs of eyes staring at me very unkindly, and I still feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.

Could it be that my speed is too slow?
Chu Yunfeng thought about it, and it seemed that he had wasted some time just now. The main reason was that the quality of this pot was really good, so it took him more time to study it.

Thinking this way, I feel sorry for these masters who have been waiting for a long time, so I have to speed up.

"What kind of dishes are you going to make?"

After seeing Chu Yunfeng ready, Mr. Liu asked curiously.

Specialty dish?

For Chu Yunfeng, he is good at many dishes, not only Sichuan cuisine, but also other cuisines. He can also cook one or two dishes.

But this is a state banquet. Since we are here, we naturally can't cook some home-cooked dishes, we have to make them high-end.

Since I am a Sichuan cuisine chef, of course I cannot cook other dishes for the first time. Moreover, everyone has to work quickly, so naturally they cannot cook those time-consuming dishes.

It’s very quick to make, and it’s naturally worthy of the dishes here.
"Kung Pao Chicken!"

After Chu Yunfeng announced the name, everyone turned their attention to Master Feng. For this dish, he is definitely the authority here.

Although this dish seems simple to make, it is not that easy to make it to the level of Master Feng, and Chu Yunfeng is still a senior chef. Isn't this a big deal in front of Guan Gong?
But everyone found something very strange. Master Feng was not surprised at all when Chu Yunfeng reported this dish. Instead, he nodded seriously.

That expression seemed to be recognition of Chu Yunfeng, which was a bit strange.

Then I felt relieved immediately. It turned out that this guy was opportunistic. The purpose of making this dish was naturally to get away with it. With Master Feng's care, he would naturally say more nice things.

After all, he is a chef of Sichuan cuisine, so it is understandable that he should take a little care.

But this added a bit of anger to the master chefs. It was a big taboo to use tricks in cooking, and now they were "deeply resentful" towards Chu Yunfeng.
"Well, let's get started. The ingredients are all over there, as well as your knife. They were delivered this morning."

Mr. Liu's words made Chu Yunfeng very happy, especially when he saw the box sitting on the kitchen counter in front of him, he became even more excited.
And the rest of the masters were even more depressed. This guy didn't seem to be good at anything, but he even sent the knife in advance. How big is this?
