Chapter 523: Young Chef Who Dares to Innovate

Zhao Xuan took a bite as Xu Wen requested and found that the dish was even more delicious than she had imagined!

"This dish gives me a very strange feeling. It's a taste I've never tasted before."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "It's right that you haven't eaten it. This shows that this dish has actually been successfully innovated."

"Nowadays, it is rare to make dishes like this, or in fact, few chefs are willing to make changes. They prefer to cook according to the original recipes, just hoping that there will be no mistakes."

What Xu Wen said is actually a common problem in the current catering industry.

For a country with a profound and extensive food culture, this is an advantage, but it is also a disadvantage.

It’s just like Traditional Chinese Medicine, because the theoretical system is too complicated and there are too many prescriptions.

Or you have too many recipes you can use, so it makes it difficult for you to innovate, because how can innovation be more convenient than directly using something that others have already developed?
So it is the same in the catering industry. Many chefs want to move up to a higher position after entering the industry. They want to become an apprentice and learn the skills from their master, and then use their master's fame to make a name for themselves.

Therefore, most of the so-called young chefs cook very traditional dishes, such as Mapo Tofu and Twice-Cooked Pork, and basically do not develop new dishes.

Imagine that you develop a new dish, but the taste is not satisfactory and the customers don’t like it after trying it. In the end, wouldn’t it be your reputation that is ruined?

So in fact, from the moment you become an apprentice, your achievements have already had a ceiling and have been restricted.

After listening to Xu Wen's explanation, netizens in the live broadcast room nodded in agreement.

"I feel that this is not only the case in the catering industry, but in fact, in many industries. It's okay if you don't become a disciple. Once you become a disciple, although your strength will increase faster, the upper limit will be fixed, and it will be difficult to surpass your master."

"That's why each generation is inferior to the previous one, because there is a mountain in front of you. Although it can protect you from wind and rain, it is still very difficult for you to climb over this mountain."

"Before, I thought that innovative dishes were no big deal, but now after hearing what Xu Gou said, I suddenly feel that this innovative dish seems to be even more amazing than I thought."

"I also want to try this store, but unfortunately I don't have the qualifications."

Originally, when Xu Wen came with the exchange voucher, the waiter thought that Xu Wen didn't know much about catering and was just coming here for the first time to try something new.

Who would have thought that after listening to Xu Wen's introduction, the waiter was surprised to find that Xu Wen knew even more than himself!

"Sir, this dish is River Green Lotus. Do you need me to help you prepare it?"

"No, I'll do it myself."

The so-called Green Lotus on the River is actually lotus seed soup, but this lotus seed soup has a unique shape, so certain skills are required to eat it.

Logically speaking, this should be Xu Wen's first time eating this dish, but Zhao Xuan saw Xu Wen skillfully use chopsticks to open the lotus shape and take out the lotus seed soup inside.

As soon as the lotus seed soup is made, a refreshing fragrance comes to your nose.

Zhao Xuan couldn't help but twitch her nose and smell it, and immediately felt refreshed.

"Have you eaten this dish before?" Zhao Xuan asked.

Xu Wen shook his head. "No, I've never eaten it."

Zhao Xuan became even more confused.

"Then why do you seem so skilled? As if you know exactly how to make this dish."

Xu Wen smiled and said, "In fact, cooking is just like building a house. Different engineering companies must have different construction techniques. But no matter how complicated the construction techniques are, in the end it is a house, and it is for people to live in."

"The saying 'everything changes but never deviates from the essence' actually refers to this principle. As long as you know the basic principles and techniques, many things can be deduced naturally. It's not difficult at all."

After hearing what Xu Wen said, all the netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't help but gasp.

"Xu Gou is really bold to say that. No matter which industry you are in, the most difficult technology in this world is reverse engineering. Xu Gou actually said that there is nothing difficult about it?"

"This shows that Xu Gou's cooking skills have reached the pinnacle, otherwise he would not have said such a thing. In fact, it makes sense if you think about it carefully. If you have mastered all the techniques and skills, then when someone shows you something new, you will naturally know what it is at a glance."

"Hahaha, this is a bit like when we write programs. Once a new program software appears on the market, I only need to take a look at its functions to basically guess what its underlying program logic is. I can only say that it is indeed very simple."

In the next hour, Zhao Xuan was mainly responsible for eating, while Xu Wen kept introducing the dishes to Zhao Xuan, how they should be cooked and what was unique about the taste.

Not only did Zhao Xuan listen with great interest, but even the waiter standing nearby thought it was so amazing that they didn't want to leave at all. They even wanted to turn on the recorder to write down everything Xu Wen said so that they could learn from it slowly in the future.

After dinner, Xu Wen took Zhao Xuan away from the mansion and returned home.

At this time, Sun Ya and her daughters were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

After seeing the two of them coming back, Sun Ya said directly: "You two are quite cool. I didn't expect you to go to the Huo Mansion to eat by yourselves. Humph, Xu Wen, when can you take the time to take us there once? We want to go eat too."

Sun Ya really wanted to eat it.

After all, although Sun Ya is rich, her status and position are not high enough, so she cannot go to the Huo Mansion to eat.

As soon as Xu Wen walked into the living room, he slumped down on the lazy sofa next to him, picking his teeth with a toothpick while saying to Sun Ya: "Okay, I can take you out to eat again when you are free, but not in the next two days. I have to take it easy."

"Although their food is delicious, you can't eat it every day, and it's best to save your time in the evening, because their best food is dinner, and the food for lunch is just average."

Seeing that Xu Wen agreed so readily, the girls were immediately very happy.

Netizens couldn't help but start commenting.

"Xu Gou was really righteous this time. He didn't even refuse."

"I think he has accepted his fate. After he refuses, Sun Ya can still achieve her goal by looking for Mr. Zhao. It's useless to refuse anyway, so he might as well take the initiative."

"For the first time, I actually felt a little envious of having a best friend like Ms. Zhao. Oh my god, is there something wrong with me?"
