Chapter 1437: This is your shop
Of course, Gabriel didn’t know what was going on in Zhou Jia’s mind. He was waiting for the new round of dishes to be served with joy.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, he took out his phone and recorded a lot of things.
After he finished recording, the dishes he had just ordered were served. Since it was Western food, there were knives and forks on the table. However, Gabriel, who was slightly used to chopsticks, began to use them.
The knives and forks at the side were not idle either, they were also being used as tableware.
That’s right, Gabriel was now using a knife in his left hand and a pair of chopsticks in his right hand. He would also use a fork from time to time.
“It’s really comfortable to eat like this. ” Gabriel had completely thrown away the reserved manner of a famous chef and began to bow his head to the food on his plate.
Of course, he had a very legitimate reason to convince himself in his heart.”As a three star Michelin chef, you need to maintain a certain level of enthusiasm for all food.”
And with the pa.s.sion for food, everything else was just floating clouds.
And so, the three exotic dishes disappeared into Gabriel’s stomach in a short while.
“Oh, I think I’m full.” Gabriel looked at the empty plate and could not help but touch his stomach.
But when he touched his stomach, Gabriel could not help but frown. “Where’s my eight pack?”
Gabriel felt his stomach bulge slightly, but it was not the usual feeling of abdominal muscles. He was a little confused.
When he thought of his ABS, Gabriel thought of himself, who had not worked out for a few days.”I don’t think I’ve trained since I came to China. I’m too full now, so it doesn’t show. It should show again after I digest it. But I should start working out tonight, so just two hours. ”
With that thought in mind, Gabriel attributed the sudden disappearance of his ABS to his overeating and lack of exercise.
He had completely forgotten about the fried chicken, skewers, potatoes, hotpot, Guokui, dumplings, vermicelli, and all kinds of meat he had eaten, as well as the six dishes he had just eaten.
“Hua la,” Gabriel stood up and then nodded his head slightly to Yuan Zhou to express his grat.i.tude. After that, he walked out of the restaurant.
“Phew, it’s so delicious. It’s just that my appet.i.te is too small.” Gabriel looked at the store with some regret, then slowly walked forward.
“It’s also a good choice to go back on foot with the navigation system on tonight. ” Gabriel thought as he looked at the bustling Taoxi road under the night sky.
Of course, at the same time, Gabriel had already made arrangements for tomorrow’s breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
It was very simple. He would eat the three meals in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and for the remaining snacks, he would look for food outside during the night. In this way, it would not affect him from peeking into Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills and also not affect his exploration of Chinese cuisines. It could be said that he would not delay either.
Gabriel planned to eat six meals a day, three main meals and three supplementary meals. He would spend the rest of his time training. That would be enough.
Time pa.s.sed very quickly. In the blink of an eye, 10 days had pa.s.sed. There was only one week left before the snack gathering that Yuan Zhou had mentioned. However, Gabriel had been in Chengdu for 10 whole days.
For the first four days, he didn’t go out of the hotel’s range. After that, he went even further. He could now walk from the hotel to Taoxi road, where Yuan Zhou was, with his eyes closed.
He had also eaten half of the delicacies along the way, which was a delightful progress. Just as he was on his way to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant while having his afternoon tea, his phone suddenly rang.
The call was from Gabriel’s a.s.sistant, Garcia, a tall girl with brown hair and eyes. She was the gentle type.
“Ell, how are you doing in China?” Garcia’s gentle voice came from the phone.
“Oh, Garcia, I’m doing very well in China. This is really a chef’s heaven. I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration. It’s wonderful.” Gabriel took a bite of the potato skewer he had just bought.
“When are you going to come back? The store needs you, El. ” Garcia asked.
“Didn’t I just get here? You guys just watch. ” Gabriel said casually, marveling at the perfect combination of cheese, potatoes, and chili.
“No, ell, you’ve been in China for ten days. Ten whole days.” Casia said helplessly.
“Oh, really? I don’t think I’ve been here for long. I haven’t even finished eating on this small street. ” Gabriel couldn’t help but take another bite of the cheese potato and savored it carefully.
“Ell, the restaurant really needs you. After all, you’re the head chef, aren’t you?” Garcia could only emphasize again.
“How about this? I won’t be able to come back to jacia in a short period of time. Please help me hand in a resignation letter. Thank you.” “I’ll go back,” Gabriel said without thinking.
“…” On the other end of the phone, Garcia was silent for a long time. It was so long that Gabriel thought the call had ended. Just as he was about to put his phone away, Garcia’s voice came from the other end.”El, this is your own shop. Who are you going to resign from? Are you a shareholder?”
That’s right, even Garcia, who had always been gentle, couldn’t stand Gabriel’s tantrum, and he couldn’t help but speak in a bad tone.
“Eh? “That’s right, this seems to be my own shop.” Hearing Garcia’s words, Gabriel finally remembered that the poor restaurant was his, but he didn’t think for long before he said,””Then we’ll close the shop for half a year. Everyone can go back and rest. Of course, I’ll compensate you.”
Garcia was completely speechless.
“Hey, jacia?” Gabriel asked.
“Alright, you’re the BOSS, so you have the final say.” Jacia gave up completely and agreed to Gabriel’s request.
“I’ll leave the rest to you. I’ll get my lawyer to help you settle the compensation and closing of the shop. ” Gabriel hung up after he finished speaking.
“Hmm, it seems like I can stay a little longer. I have to at least finish the menu.” Gabriel thought of the not-so-thick menu of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and thus thought.
Of course, he didn’t forget to call his lawyer after he finished his cheese and spicy potatoes.
On the other end of the line, Garcia, who had just lost his job, was furious and could no longer be gentle. He said hatefully,””I’ve heard that head chef Chu’s a.s.sistant has the highest salary but is easily unemployed. But I don’t think ell is reliable anymore. What kind of magic does this d.a.m.n China have?”
“d.a.m.n it.” Jacia cursed again before taking a deep breath. He then walked out of the office to the dining hall to tell everyone the news.
Gabriel wasn’t being willful. As a young three-star Michelin chef, he had quite a lot of money. He even had some shares in a few chain restaurants. This money was enough for him to squander, even if the closing of the restaurant didn’t affect him.
Moreover, he was doing this to improve his cooking skills, so it was normal for him to close his restaurant. Some chefs only opened their restaurants for half a year or three months, and spent the rest of their time traveling around.
To put it nicely, it was called looking for inspiration for new dishes, but to put it bluntly, it was just wandering around.
This was the first time Gabriel had been so willful, and he was quite responsible.
Speaking of which, the reason why Gabriel had been so serious before could also be understood as him coming to China late.
