Chef Zuo Xiukai's research diary
Zuo Xiukai
Gender: male
Age: 34 years old
Height and weight: 187cm, 152kg.
Nationality: China.
Occupation: cook
Family members: mother (separated)
Remarks: He spends most of his time looking for cooking ingredients.
There are two types of craftsmen. * Some people want their achievements to be recognized, while the second kind enjoy the creative process more. He is the second kind of person. He wants to make excellent food and test his ability. Now it seems that he wants to give full play to his potential on this island where the conditions are very difficult and there are not enough kitchen utensils and ingredients. Before going to the island, he used to run a small Chinese restaurant in South Korea. Before that, he was hired by a celebrity as a private chef in front of China's national leaders because of his exquisite cooking. Obviously, after creating exquisite dishes with all kinds of high-quality ingredients, he can't stand cooking the same recipes day after day like a robot in a small restaurant. He really wants to show off his cooking as before, and I think you can take advantage of it.

He eats meat at least once a day. He must like jiaozi very much, because I often see him including jiaozi. No matter what living thing he catches, he will cut the meat and wrap it in a jiaozi. Crows, orangutans, bears and hounds were all chopped into jiaozi by him. Fortunately, he won't be a soft-hearted creature after killing someone. Well, at least I haven't seen him do such a thing so far. I heard him say to himself yesterday that "human flesh tastes like pomegranate", but I pretended not to hear what he said. Who is in charge of the 06M-RF0 1 (Jackie) experimental body? Can we change?

He hates people who don't obey table manners. For example, he hates people mixing chopsticks in soup bowls, putting chopsticks in rice, leftovers, picky eaters and so on. If you dare to do these things on his desk, he will cut off your hand without saying anything. In fact, several people have had this experience, and the meaning contained in his dishes is far beyond your imagination. He thinks his works are worthy of respect. I just want to know if he thinks so because he has always regarded himself as an artist, or is there another reason?

It is said that he used to be the chef of senior government officials. He always smiles at people who praise his cooking, but if his efforts are not appreciated, he will immediately turn his back. That's why he always quarrels with 14M-RFT06 (Rosario). He always complains about everything and quarrels with 15M-RFT 18 (Magnus). He thinks that men should not cook. For other people on the island, they cooperate with each other to increase the chances of finding what they need and improve the possibility of survival. And 14M-RFT09 (Kay) cooperates with others only because he needs others to taste his cooking. Most people only cook to ensure that there is enough food to eat, but he pays too much attention to cooking, which is really a bit stupid. According to his character, he should stay in his original post and cook silently, and then be implicated and killed when the master was eliminated. Why on earth did he run away? No one was sure what was going on, but when he could no longer use the right ingredients in his cooking as before he fled, he began to change. Maybe that's why he is obsessed with cooking.

I have seen him pick the tip of noodles with chopsticks. Although I saw his movements with my own eyes, I still can't believe it's true. I have heard that some ordinary people in China can carve flowers on egg shells, but this is the first time I have witnessed real alchemy.
-Dr. K, Assistant Researcher
In China, there is a story about two friends. One of them is a famous pianist, and his friend is a person who can really understand the beauty of his piano voice. After this friend who knew piano died, the pianist broke his piano into pieces and never touched it again. He thinks that since then, no one in the world knows how to appreciate his piano music. For an artist, practical values such as fame and fortune are of course very important, but there is no doubt that some artists are more persistent in understanding and recognizing their works. This obsession is difficult for ordinary people to understand. It's like when people see him devote all his energy to cooking even in do or die, they often show strange eyes. This famous chef, once praised as an artist by a senior official in a country, finally made the same menu hundreds of times in a Chinese restaurant in South Korea. I can imagine what his heart will be like. I can only guess that this experience may have made him so obsessed with making people appreciate his food and make good food.

Interview _009
Are you talking about Chinese restaurants without signs? I work there. What's the name of that shop? Nameless. That's right, which means this store doesn't have a name at all. Don't look at me like that, I'm not kidding.
Business in that shop is very good. The boss is a famous chef and is busy all day.
I want to talk about my birthday. That day, he asked me to stay in the restaurant for a while after closing. Oh, you want to ask me how to understand what he said? He pointed a knife at the table. What can I do but sit down honestly? I didn't know what would happen next, so I saw a big meal he cooked for me. Eating this table of dishes moved me to tears.
No, no, no, I didn't say a word at dinner. The boss is meticulous about table manners. Usually we eat in the store, and customers come to the door and dare not receive them. This is because the boss will show a terrible expression and tell us not to put down our jobs. It's strange, isn't it? Generally speaking, customers should not be the first.
Those meals are really delicious anyway. I ate a clean bowl, and the boss was satisfied with how delicious I ate.
There is nothing else worth mentioning. Maybe the boss has opened a new restaurant somewhere else. I never saw him again. It's a pity that his cooking is so delicious.
