When Liu Wenhui and the others finished eating and walked out of the restaurant, someone happened to arrive in Chengdu in a hurry.
“Sigh, I’m really getting old. In the past, I felt so energetic just by standing beside the stove all day long. I can’t do it anymore.” Ding Yang felt as if steel bars had been placed on his waist. He hammered his old waist and felt a little better.
“It’s not a matter of age. Young people can’t take long flights. ” Du Yundong comforted her.
“Old du, you’re still not willing to admit defeat.” Ding Yang couldn’t help but ask.
“I’ve only admitted defeat twice in my life. The first time was because I didn’t get into college, and the second time was because I didn’t know how to use a knife and fork. Why should I be convinced by him? Even I can stand beside the cooking bench for a whole day now, which many chefs can’t do. ” Du Yundong spoke first.
Before Ding Yang could say anything, Meng Guangping said, “You’re just standing there for a day. I’ll let you try throwing the pot for a day. You’re old, so you have to admit that you’re old.”
With a look of righteousness, he had completely forgotten that a few months ago, because he still wanted to practice cooking more, he had accidentally followed the training time when he was young and was directly admitted to the hospital. He only recovered after resting for a few days. After all, w.a.n.g Jike was the only chef in the kitchen altar.
After the chat, Meng Guangping got down to business,”Do you guys think that our meeting with head chef Yuan will go smoothly?”
One of them came here this time to try the Hunan cuisine cooked by Yuan Zhou and see if he could make a breakthrough.
Even though the oldest of them was already 63 years old, their enthusiasm for cooking was no less than that of young people, and they believed that they could still improve.
These three were the rare chefs who still insisted on cooking for their customers at this age. Although they didn’t cook every day, there would always be a few days in a month.
Second, they hoped to get the exact information from Yuan Zhou when the registered disciples of Hunan cuisine would be accepted. They had already served Shandong and Cantonese cuisines, but only Hunan cuisine.
Ke Sen and Lu Wei were currently board members of the Guizhou cuisine a.s.sociation.
Li Youcai was the Vice President of Yunnan cuisine, and Zeng Youwei was the Honorary President.
w.a.n.g Mingjie and Luo Qing, the former was the Vice President of Jiangsu cuisine, and the latter was a member of the Board.
Cheng zhaomei was the president of the Sichuan cuisine a.s.sociation, Cao zhishu was the Executive Vice President, and Zhang He was the Executive Director.
Huang Gang and Zhang Longquan were currently competing for the position of Chairman of the Cantonese cuisine a.s.sociation. Because Song Ming was ready to step down, not only the chairman of the Cantonese cuisine a.s.sociation, but also the Vice Chairman of the chef’s a.s.sociation.
Zhuang Lei and Gu Qi were the executive directors of the Lu cuisine a.s.sociation.
Look at Yuan Zhou’s status in China’s cooking altar.
Of course, Meng Guangping and the others had already chosen to forget about the Qin and Zhe cuisines.
Therefore, as soon as they heard that Yuan Zhou was going to serve Hunan cuisine, they couldn’t sit still and had to confirm it at the first moment. This was related to the future of Hunan cuisine.
Although they also knew that Yuan Zhou would be very tired and felt bad about it, they could only go all out for the sake of the development of Xiang cuisine.
“It should go well. Head chef Yuan is one of the few top chefs with both good morals and skills. Look at what he has done previously. It’s all for the sake of our Chinese cooking world.” Du Yundong said seriously.
“There hasn’t been a chef like head chef Yuan in thousands of years. It’s truly a blessing for our cooking world.” Dingyang was also a little emotional.
Back then, when Yuan Zhou had just appeared out of nowhere, Ding Yang only felt that there was one more junior in the cooking industry with good craftsmans.h.i.+p. Only a short time had pa.s.sed, but it had already reached a point where even he had to raise his head to look at him. Heroes really came from the times!
“Then, we have to prepare well and try to help reduce some trouble. We don’t want to trouble head chef Yuan.” Meng Guangping said.
“That’s right. ” Ding Yang and du Yundong also agreed.
“President, Vice President, director, over here. I’m here.” Little Yu saw the three old men walking out at a glance.
One of them had white hair, while the other two had gray hair. They were very eye-catching.
After Xiao Yu picked them up, he sent the three of them to the hotel he had booked. Of course, the hotels near Taoxi road had no empty rooms. They had to find a hotel within three kilometers to solve the problem.
“The restaurant’s lunchtime has ended, but it’s still early for dinner. President, you can rest for a while. I’ll pick you up at four in the afternoon to line up for dinner. How about it?” Little Yu looked at his watch and suggested.
“No problem. We’ll be fine after a short rest. You can come on time. There’ll definitely be a lot of people when the new dish is served. We’ll go earlier.” Meng Guangping said.
“Yes, President.” Little Yu replied.
After discussing the time, Xiao Yu left. Meng Guangping and the others also went back to their rooms to rest.
They all looked energetic, but they were old after all, and their bodies couldn’t take it. They needed to rest and recover.
At Yuan Zhou’s place, after the lunch time ended and the kitchen was tidied up, he continued to practice his knife skills.
After several days of practice, Yuan Zhou could now cut the radish into thin slices of the same thickness, although the slices could be said to be very thick, about one finger thick.
“This thickness is definitely not enough. I need to practice more. However, I have some other ideas.” Yuan Zhou waved his left hand and felt it for a while before continuing to practice.
“Shua shua shua”
The knife made a dull sound when it came into contact with the chopping board. The kitchen was very quiet, and only this sound and the subtle sound of the radish could be heard.
The afternoon sun was on the strong side, the rice girls, after lunch, turned their stomachs under the eaves to cool down, very leisurely. Romeo didn’t come to grab food, so the rice soup and noodles snacks were a lot more, of course, they also had to guard against the fat and meat.
It was probably the pet Xiao Lord. Ever since fatty had grown up, it had teamed up with lots of meat to Rob Rice and the others of their snacks, just like the crow.
Time pa.s.sed by little by little while Yuan Zhou was practicing his cooking skills. Soon, it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
“Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling”
After the familiar Bell rang, it interrupted Yuan Zhou’s intention to continue practicing.
“It’s already so late. ” Yuan Zhou woke up from his intoxication and looked at the time.
It was already 4:30. It was indeed getting late.
After tidying up the kitchen properly, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up and change his clothes. Then, he came down to prepare the necessary things for the dinner.
While Yuan Zhou was preparing the dinner, Meng Guangping and the other two had already arrived at Taoxi road under the guidance of little Yu. It was a coincidence that they arrived earlier and almost took the first and second place from Wu Hai’s group.
The more people there were, the more they almost took the top four positions. It was also at this time that the Black Beast revealed his true strength. He directly relied on his sharp Seventh Sense and flexible movements to maintain his first place.
There were already a lot of people during lunchtime, but there were even more people at night. After all, only a few had time to come out for lunch at noon. The main event was at night.
Take man man as an example. She had to take care of the cake shop during the day and rushed over at full speed at night, but she was still behind the others in the queue.
There were so many people, yet they were all in an orderly manner. Meng Guangping and the others were also amazed. They had never seen any restaurant’s customers spontaneously maintain order. Only master chef Restaurant could see such a scene.
They were in the first group, so Meng Guangping and the others went in as soon as dinner time started.
In order to see Yuan Zhou’s movements clearly, the three of them selected the seats beside the bear and sat down together. As for little Yu, he had already been forgotten by the three of them.
The moment Meng Guangping and the others entered the restaurant, they stared at Yuan Zhou. Naturally, Yuan Zhou had noticed it long ago due to his sharp senses. However, there were many people who looked at him with such fervent gazes, especially Wu Hai. Therefore, he only took a glance at Meng Guangping and the others and felt they looked familiar before he didn’t pay much attention to them.
