Chapter 2007: The trophy holder
Translator: 549690339
Yuan Zhou didn’t know that he was so popular among the children. He was just thinking that after he got married, he would definitely raise a big fat Boy with Yin ya.
“It’s not a high requirement. It’s enough as long as you’re as strong as Xiong Neng and as smart as Xiong Ming.” Yuan Zhou thought that since it was already dark, he wasn’t daydreaming.
Dinner time quickly ended after Xiaofei and the others left. There was no sign of rain tonight, and the pub time began as usual.
“Boss Yuan, this is the trophy you won.” Yuan Zhou was woken up by a man’s voice while he was making the sobering set meal.
When he raised his head, he saw a well-dressed middle-aged man handing the trophy to him. Yuan Zhou received it and found it quite solid.
“Oh, okay. Thank you.” Yuan Zhou thanked him. The man looked a little familiar. He seemed to be the big boss of the wine industry and was introduced by Wu Yungui.
After they left, Yuan Zhou carefully observed the trophy. It was the trophy issued by the Sichuan Liquor a.s.sociation, which was rated as “the a.s.sociation recommends top ten restaurants.”
“He won an award again.” Yuan Zhou first put the trophy back on the second floor temporarily. He had already gotten used to such situations.
After fiddling with the dishes in the kitchen for a while, Yuan Zhou handed the sobering set meal to Mao Ye and then went into the kitchen again. He planned to make a midnight snack. For the past few days, Yuan Zhou had been cooking Shandong cuisine for midnight snacks.
As an official dish, Lu cuisine was fair, gentle, and meticulous.
At this moment, the phone rang. It was Zhou s.h.i.+jie.
“Little Yuan, I have good news for you.” Zhou s.h.i.+jie sounded proud. Apparently, he was very happy.
“What news, uncle Zhou?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“Isn’t the silver spoon conference going to be held in two sessions? in previous years, there would usually be a week between the two events. However, it would be inconvenient for you to open your restaurant this way, and it’s indeed troublesome. That’s why we’ve been having meetings recently to think about how to shorten the time.” Zhou s.h.i.+jie said.
When Yuan Zhou heard that, he felt that although the time was not long, it was indeed not good for the customers to ask for leave frequently.
“Did uncle Zhou’s final result change?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“That’s right. It’s been changed. In the future, the silver spoon a.s.sociation will be held according to this rule.” Zhou s.h.i.+jie paused for a while and added,””If the Lu silver spoon is in your hands and you want to hand it over to someone else, I probably won’t be able to see it in my lifetime.”
From Zhou s.h.i.+jie’s proud tone, it was clear that he had never fallen for Yuan Zhou’s reputation.
“We’ll just schedule it for the next two days, one event a day. It’ll be much easier. I’ve already informed the other contestants, so I’ll be the one informing you. ” Zhou s.h.i.+jie told him the specific time.
“I’ll arrange the time. Thank you, uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou thanked him sincerely.
“When the time comes, just play to your level.” Zhou s.h.i.+jie said.
“That’s for sure. ” No matter where he was, he had to cook to the best of his ability.
Having said that, Zhou s.h.i.+jie looked at the time and chatted for a while more before hanging up the phone. Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, immersed himself in cooking again.
When the pub was closed, Yuan Zhou went to the house in the Qingyang District and put the trophy in the room. This house was specially used to put the trophy.
Time pa.s.sed very quickly in the blink of an eye. Soon, it was the day of the silver spoon a.s.sociation. Yuan Zhou was also going to leave for quancheng city in Lu province, where the silver spoon a.s.sociation would be held.
Zhou s.h.i.+jie had already gone to quancheng two days ago. After all, he was not only the chairman of the chef’s a.s.sociation, but also the chairman of the silver spoon culinary Committee. When it was time for him to be busy, he would definitely go there in advance.
Yuan Zhou’s plane ticket was still the same as before. It was booked in the early morning according to Yuan Zhou’s request.
After all, the dog’s life was the most important in the world, and it was safest to leave in the morning.
“There shouldn’t be any problem sticking it like this.” Yuan Zhou took a careful look at the square leave request note.
After he felt that there was no problem, Yuan Zhou immediately closed the door quickly and gently. Then, he pulled the packed luggage and left from the back door.
“This is your food for the next few days. Remember to protect it well.” Yuan Zhou placed the cooked food into the nest of broth and rice.
“Woof woof woof.” The rice was very enthusiastic.
“Woof.” Broth had already given him a lot of face by saying this.
After giving a friendly explanation to broth and the others, Yuan Zhou rushed to the airport. It was 5:00 in the morning and his flight was at 8:00 in the morning.
On the way, Yuan Zhou received a message from Yin ya.
[Blockhead, are you leaving? remember to have breakfast.]
[Don’t worry, I’ll tell you when we reach the airport. You can sleep for a while more.]
The corners of Yuan Zhou’s mouth curved slightly. After chatting with Yin ya for a while, he coaxed her to go to bed. It was still early.
Yuan Zhou didn’t need to spend any effort to go out. The whole journey was very smooth. He got off the plane and arrived at the hotel without a hitch.
As the provincial capital of Lu province, quancheng had many scenic spots. The tourism industry was also very developed, so there were many people coming and going.
After checking in, Yuan Zhou looked at the time and planned to take a rest before talking about other things.
The hotel where Yuan Zhou checked in was very close to the Lu cuisine a.s.sociation, only a Street away. It was also for the convenience of the compet.i.tion.
Apart from Yuan Zhou, the other three chefs were all Masters of Shandong cuisine and had taken root in the province.
Although he said he was taking a rest, Yuan Zhou just closed his eyes and rested for a while. He didn’t take a long rest before lunchtime arrived.
First, he called Zhou s.h.i.+jie and told him that he had arrived. Then, he refused his suggestion to have lunch together with him and decided to go out to look for food.
This was the first time for Governor Yuan to come to quancheng since he was born. Naturally, he wanted to take a stroll and eat the local food.
There were 72 Springs in quancheng, hence the name. It was indeed a city with a lot of water. Yuan Zhou felt it was quite different from other places when he went out.
Speaking of which, there were many eateries in quancheng and quite a few of them were famous. On his way here, Yuan Zhou saw many of them. Suddenly, he saw a steamed bun shop called [straw buns].
“Let’s eat at this restaurant for lunch today. ” Yuan Zhou took a look at the huge door.
“Welcome, Sir. How many of you?” A waiter greeted Yuan Zhou as soon as he entered the restaurant.
“One.” Yuan Zhou said.
“There’s a guest. One, please come this way. ” The waiter took a look at the hall and saw an empty table. He immediately led Yuan Zhou there.
“What would you like to order, Sir?” After Yuan Zhou sat down and poured the tea for him, he asked.
“A plate of buns, traditional ones will do.”
Yuan Zhou checked the variety of the steamed buns, but what he wanted to eat was the most original kind.
“Alright, please wait a moment, Sir.” The waiter responded and went to place the order.
The shop was very s.p.a.cious and there were many people. It was basically a full house, and it seemed that business was quite good.
“Master chef Restaurant is indeed a little small, but I’m alone.” Yuan Zhou said thoughtfully.
The speed of serving the steamed buns was very fast. It took Yuan Zhou only about five minutes to serve the steamed buns.
“Sir, here’s your bun. Please enjoy.” The waiter placed the plates on the table.
It was a large plate as white as snow, with a circle of golden lace around the edges. Four fluffy white buns lay quietly on the plate, emitting steam.
The skin of the bun was very thin, and the pink filling could be vaguely seen through it. It looked pretty good.
The straw bun was actually a type of soup dumpling, so it had all the characteristics of a soup dumpling.
Yuan Zhou took the empty plate over and poured a little vinegar into it, planning to dip it in the steamed buns and eat it later.
“This fold is not bad, it really looks like a chrysanthemum.” The big folds on the bun were well-defined, and the top of the bun formed the shape of a small chrysanthemum, which looked very vivid.
He reached out his chopsticks and picked it up. When he picked it up, Yuan Zhou felt that the chopsticks were a little wet. It wasn’t suitable for him to pick it up a second time. If he used more strength, it would probably break.
