Feng Chuge had already forgotten what he came to the kitchen for. All he could see was Yu Wuwei's skillful knife-wielding movements. He quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket, turned on the camera and started recording.
The entire "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" required dozens of different food shapes, which Yu Wuwei completed in one go, taking more than twenty minutes to finish.
Towards the end, Feng Chuge was so excited that he even picked up something nearby and started shaking it to cheer like a fan seeing his idol!
Finally, Yu Wuwei finished the last step and handed all the cut ingredients to Chef Guo Liren. The rest had nothing to do with him.
Yu Wuwei put down the knife and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It was the first time that Yu Wuwei used his knife skills, and although he was confident, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
However, after this set of skills, Yu Wuwei had a clear understanding of his knife skills. The God of Cookery's knife skills had been clearly imprinted in his mind and body. As long as he picked up the kitchen knife, he could do it with ease. He could cut the ingredients into the shape he wanted just by feeling, and it was effortless to make something like "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix".
After Yu Wuwei finished, Feng Chuge was still not satisfied. He ended the recording and glanced down at the thing in his hand. It turned out that he had picked up a cucumber as a glow stick.
Looking at the cucumber in front of him and smelling the faint fresh fragrance emanating from it, the foodie, whose stomach was already growling with hunger, suddenly lost his composure and took a bite of it.
Hmm! Is this a cucumber?
There are actually such delicious cucumbers?
After taking a bite, Feng Chuge looked at the cucumber in his hand in shock. He finally understood why the fine dishes made in this restaurant were so delicious!
It would be strange if the dishes made with such good vegetables were not delicious.
Yu Wuwei wiped the sweat off his forehead and saw Feng Chuge staring at him with wide eyes while chewing a cucumber. He couldn't help but wonder how she got in.
Then he walked closer and teased, "Hey, miss, you can't wait to eat my big cucumber? You even went to the kitchen for it? So, is it better to bite the cucumber directly with your hands?"
Feng Chuge blushed slightly upon hearing this, and said unyieldingly, "What are you talking about? The dishes I ordered haven't arrived yet, so I just went to the kitchen to see what's going on! And this cucumber..."
As Feng Chuge spoke, he stepped sideways past Yu Wuwei, picked up the kitchen knife that Yu Wuwei had just put down, put the cucumber on the chopping board, and chopped it into several pieces with great force.
With Feng Chuge's powerful hand, the kitchen knife chopped through the cucumber and hit the chopping board directly with a loud "bang bang" sound, which made Yu Wuwei feel a chill down his spine.
After cutting it into several pieces, Feng Chuge picked it up, grabbed a small piece and put it in his mouth, looking at Yu Wuwei provocatively.
"It tastes better this way! Serve the food quickly, I'm starving!" As she said that, she walked past Yu Wuwei again and headed towards the hall in front.
When he walked past Yu Wuwei, he paused, put his face close to Yu Wuwei's ear and whispered, "Little brother, you looked so handsome when you were cutting vegetables just now!"
After saying this, he deliberately puffed out his chest and walked away.
The soft and sticky voice made Yu Wuwei's whole body shiver and heat up when he heard it, and the hot air exhaled from the mouth blowing on his ears made his blood boil. This little ambiguity that came and went was like a cat's claw scratching people's hearts, making them itchy.
Yu Wuwei looked at Feng Chuge, whose graceful back was left behind, and cursed in his heart: This little goblin!
The waiter only just remembered that he hadn't delivered the dishes yet. The boss's performance was so shocking that it made him forget about his business.
After realizing what was happening, he quickly took the plate and followed out and apologized to the two beautiful customers who were waiting anxiously.
Feng Chuge walked back with his head held high, chewing a cucumber, looking triumphant and satisfied, followed by a waiter who was carrying dishes and looked a little panicked.
The waiter brought the dishes and apologized hurriedly: "I'm sorry, ladies. It was my negligence that the dishes were served a little late..."
Before he could finish, Feng Chuge waved his hand and said magnanimously, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm mesmerized by such wonderful knife skills. It's understandable that you stared at it for a while longer. As long as the dishes are served, you can get back to work!"
The waiter thanked him and returned to work.
Seeing this, Liu Miaozi asked, "Chu Ge, what were you doing just now? Why did you take so long?"
Feng Chuge perked up after hearing this. Without even finishing his meal, he leaned over to Liu Miaozi's ear and said, "Miaozi, that little brother is really a hidden talent! Guess what I saw when I went in just now?"
Liu Miaozi immediately rolled her eyes: "How should I know what you saw?"
"I'm afraid you wouldn't have guessed it. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that this little brother's knife skills were so good! As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw this little brother showing off his knife skills. He wielded the knife with such smooth and powerful movements that it was truly amazing!"
Liu Miaozi rolled her eyes again. How could "flowing like clouds and flowing water" and "vigorous like a tiger" be used together like this? The artistic conception doesn't even make sense! What's the level of Chinese language proficiency?
Unaware of her best friend's criticism, Feng Chuge was immersed in her own world and continued to praise him, "Miaozi, you don't know, this little brother's knife skills are amazing. With just a few swishes, a little bird came out! I think this little brother's knife skills are even better than your Uncle Yuan's!"
After hearing what her best friend said, Liu Miaozi immediately revealed a look of complete disbelief and said, "Impossible! Uncle Yuan is our hotel's top chef. How could he, a young man about the same age as us, possibly be better than Uncle Yuan? Chu Ge, you have to be kidding!"
"I'm not kidding. I saw it with my own eyes. The little brother's knife skills are definitely top-notch in the country, even better than your Uncle Yuan!" Feng Chuge saw that Liu Miaozi didn't believe him, so he immediately deepened his affirmative tone.
"You must be dazzled. Uncle Yuan has been a chef since he was a child and has been cooking for thirty or forty years. How could he be outdone by such a youngster? Chu Ge, there should be a limit to your infatuation!"
Liu Miaozi still couldn't believe it. Her Uncle Yuan was definitely a world-famous chef. Even if there was someone who could outsmart him in knife skills, it wouldn't be possible for him to show up in a place like this, right? And it certainly wasn't possible for him to be a young, fresh-faced guy their age.
"Hey Miaozi, you can doubt my appetite, but you must never doubt my taste. Although that little brother is indeed very handsome, his knife skills are even more impressive. Oh, by the way, I even took a video. I'll show it to you after we finish eating. It's definitely better than your Uncle Yuan's!"
