If it were other shops or restaurants, their first reaction would be ‘trying to scam me again’ when they heard that something special was going to cost money. However, master chef Restaurant was different. If you encountered something special in master chef Restaurant, you would definitely pa.s.s by and never miss it. If you couldn’t buy it, you would suffer a loss. If you couldn’t buy it, you would be fooled. For example, the honey Tremella that appeared according to the mood of the bees.
“Boss Yuan said that this sober-up set meal isn’t on the menu yet. There’s a special event tonight.” Mao Ye added.
“That’s a must, I want a portion. ” Old Lu was the first to respond.
“I want one too,” Zheng Xian said after some thought.
Cao mi followed closely behind. To be precise, the customers of the small Tavern each ordered one serving.
Mao Ye nodded and ran down the stairs.
“The Queen hasn’t come to the tavern for a long time.” “I met the right person at the wrong time,” Zheng Xian sighed.
“Great aunt, are you talking about yourself or the Queen?” Cao mi asked.
Zheng Xian’s eyes were filled with killing intent. She glanced at Cao mi, who immediately said,””It’s my fault. I’ll shut up. ” As he spoke, Cao mi moved his hand to zip his mouth.
“Old Lu, if you don’t go back to your hometown for the new year this year, you can come to master chef Restaurant and eat the free new Year meal specially made by boss Yuan.” Zheng Xian said.
“Really?” Old Lu first asked, then shook his head.””Forget it, forget it. Although there’s no one at home, I still want to go home for the new year.”
“There’s no New Year’s celebration when you’re alone. The New Year’s celebration is supposed to be lively.” Cao mi was simply Zhao Yingjun’s successor. He could always say the most inappropriate words at the right time.
“You’re right. Maybe I’m a weird person. I always like to hold onto my past memories and not let go. ” Old Lu had a good temper and was not angry.
Speaking of old Lu, he was one of the wine-s.n.a.t.c.hing troops from Lu province. Many people stayed for a few days before going back. Old Lu stayed to rent a house and even found a job in Rong city. He might look unkempt, but he was a Senior Architect.
In fact, old Lu couldn’t drink either. But according to him, it depended on the person who could drink. However, he had to get involved in this kind of wine-s.n.a.t.c.hing.
Not long after, Mao Ye came up with The Hangover set meal. As there were quite a few different types of set meal, only two sets could be served on the tray at a time. It took him a few trips to and from the tray to finish the meal.
At the other side, Yuan Zhou was thinking about the honeymoon. To be honest, Yuan Zhou wasn’t really sure if he could take a one-month leave.
However, after thinking carefully, Yuan Zhou felt that it shouldn’t be a problem for him to get married only once in his lifetime.
Mm.
It would definitely not be a problem.
As usual, after the pub was over, he went upstairs to read for half an hour, then practiced his cutting skills for the other half, washed up, and went to bed.
The next day, after breakfast, Yuan Zhou rushed to qu Pi County. The warehouse had already started to be rebuilt according to his requirements. Yuan Zhou took a look and found that everything was indeed done according to his requirements. Thus, he felt much more relieved.
As for the ingredients for the dessert house, Yuan Zhou had already arranged everything. Then, he took the bus back to Taoxi road.
The afternoon was the time to witness his apprentice becoming the chairman. As the master, Yuan Zhou had to be more serious. He wrapped the gift he had prepared in a small box.
The Sichuan cuisine a.s.sociation was the largest chef’s a.s.sociation of Sichuan cuisine in Sichuan Province. It was one of the top a.s.sociations in the country. The inauguration ceremony should be Grand, but it was not. On the contrary, it was not even as Grand as an ordinary chef’s compet.i.tion.
The venue was in a living room in the headquarters of the Sichuan cuisine a.s.sociation. Other than Zhang Yan, master Cheng, all the directors and the Vice President of the Sichuan cuisine a.s.sociation were present. There were more than forty people scattered around, and it could be said that these forty people were the mainstays of Sichuan cuisine.
Yuan Zhou met Zhou s.h.i.+jie at the door.
The Sichuan cuisine a.s.sociation was under the jurisdiction of the chef’s a.s.sociation. For the appointment of a Chairman, Zhou s.h.i.+jie naturally had to be present. Strictly speaking, according to the procedures, before the appointment of a new chairman, the nomination had to be handed over to Zhou s.h.i.+jie. Only after he approved it would it be counted. Of course, Zhou s.h.i.+jie would not interfere in normal circ.u.mstances.
“Little Yuan, do you have the confidence to partic.i.p.ate in the bogus world cooking compet.i.tion?” Actually, Zhou s.h.i.+jie didn’t have any confidence in Yuan Zhou when he asked that. He just wanted to hear Yuan Zhou say that he wanted a mind calming pill.
“Half and half.” Yuan Zhou answered.
“There’s only a 50% chance of getting first place?” Zhou s.h.i.+jie knitted his brows. According to what he knew about Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills, it shouldn’t be like this.
“Half plus half, it’s a hundred percent.” Yuan Zhou explained that it was too high-profile to say 100%. Therefore, he decided to keep a low profile and said that. Unexpectedly, Zhou s.h.i.+jie didn’t understand him.
“You’re still fooling around with your uncle Zhou. ” Upon hearing that, Zhou s.h.i.+jie revealed a smile and felt very satisfied. Although a famous chef had to be calm and steady, he also had to have a sharp spirit and confidence.
Yuan Zhou and Zhou s.h.i.+jie arrived at the conference hall together and opened the door. Basically, everyone who was supposed to be there was already there. It wasn’t that the two of them were late, but rather that the group of people had only held one meeting before. After the meeting ended, they didn’t even need to move their seats and could only directly attend the handover meeting.
“h.e.l.lo, Chairman Zhou,””h.e.l.lo, head chef Yuan,””h.e.l.lo, Chairman Zhou,””h.e.l.lo, head chef Yuan …”
From this, one could see Yuan Zhou’s reputation in Sichuan Province. Zhou s.h.i.+jie was the chairman of the chef’s a.s.sociation, so he had both status and position. Therefore, it was normal for all the chefs to stand up and greet him. However, it was amazing that all the chefs who stood up to greet Zhou s.h.i.+jie greeted Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou and Zhou s.h.i.+jie were seated in the first row. The meeting officially started when everyone was present.
Zhang Yan was the first to announce his resignation.”I’ve been the chairman of the Sichuan cuisine a.s.sociation for ten years. In the past ten years, I’ve seen the rise and fall of Sichuan cuisine and also witnessed the rise and fall of Sichuan cuisine on the International stage. I’m very impressed. I think that I’m still qualified to be the chairman.”
Having said that, Zhou s.h.i.+jie stood up and clapped.”Clap, clap, clap.” A few seconds later, the crowd followed suit. All of a sudden, the audience burst into applause.
This was not rehea.r.s.ed. Be it Zhang Ye’s cooking skills or morals, he had no problems at all. As the president, he was also very responsible, so this applause was something that Zhang Ye deserved.
“Stop, stop, stop clapping. I’m so touched by your applause.” Zhang Ye was supposed to resign of his own free will and did not feel any burden in his heart. But the applause after those words made his nose feel a little sour.
After clearing his throat and adjusting his state of mind, Zhang Yan continued,””Sichuan cuisine. As for what exactly is Sichuan cuisine, I can give you many definitions. However, after being the chairman for ten years, if you ask me this, my answer now is that I’m just taking a trip to Sichuan and have some food. No matter how much I say, it’s useless. Only when I eat it is the truth. Therefore, I also hope that our chefs of Sichuan cuisine will remember that dishes are meant to be eaten, not for listening.”
After finis.h.i.+ng his speech, Zhang Yan bowed to the audience. Then, there was another round of applause. Everyone had their own understanding of Zhang Yan’s words. Yuan Zhou’s understanding was that he should not forget his original intention.
