Chapter 1304: Yuan Zhous name

Hearing Zhou s.h.i.+jies boastful words, Colin didnt say much. He just gestured to Zhou s.h.i.+jie,Lets go in first.

Alright, lets go in then. Zhou s.h.i.+jie nodded his head readily. Then, the three of them entered the door together.

Fortunately, the gate of this Riverside courtyard was very wide, allowing three people to enter at the same time.

Yuan Zhou didnt refuse and just walked into the small courtyard with the two people naturally.

A girl with two braids, wearing a blue top and a black skirt, a students uniform from the Republic of China, immediately came up to the small courtyard.

Please come in, the three of you, The girls voice was clear and melodious as she started to lead the way.

The so-called courtyard by the river was really opened by the river. The little girl who led the way led the three people into the depths of the courtyard.

After pa.s.sing through the courtyard, they entered a door with drooping flowers. The inside suddenly opened up. Small artificial mountains and strange stones were piled up in the middle, and bamboo tables and chairs were embellished in the middle.

The little girl who led the way took the three of them to a turn along the hand-held veranda and went straight to the deepest part of the courtyard. There were small private rooms separated from them, and some of the doors were open, allowing them to see the wide river directly opposite.

The little girl brought the three of them to a private room in the middle called Flower Moon, and then said,This is the private room you reserved. What tea would you like to drink?

/

The private room was not big, about 15 square meters in size. The center of the room was surrounded by four long tables, and there were low flowers and wood in the middle, so that it would not affect communication.

There were also some tea-making tools around it. It was obvious that this place allowed people to perform the tea ceremony live.

In the four corners of the room, there were some well-trimmed potted tea trees. The tea trees were green and gave off a faint fragrance of green leaves.

The river was right outside the antique carved window, and he could even see the Golden leaves of the Chinese parasol tree on the other side of the river. The entire s.p.a.ce looked vast and elegant, very beautiful.

The origin of this shops Zun Yi red is from your province. Its very authentic. Old ke, do you want to try the difference between our Zun Yi red and the one you make? Zhou s.h.i.+jie said with a smile.

Sure. Colin sat at the long table on the right side of the door and nodded.

What about little Yuan? Zhou s.h.i.+jie tilted his head and asked.

Yuan Zhou sat on the left side of the door while Zhou s.h.i.+jie sat directly opposite to the river. Just like that, the three of them sat at different tables.

Alright, he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Serve white tea today. Bring it in once its done. Zhou s.h.i.+jie then turned his head and said to the little girl who was standing at the side and waiting for him.

Please wait for a moment. Have some tea fruits first. The tea will be served soon. The little girl immediately nodded and left politely.

Peng, the little girl closed the wooden door of the private room gently when she left, and the private room became quiet at once.

There were three types of tea fruits, which were already placed on the table. The table was the color of wood and only had a layer of lacquer on it. Other than some simple decorations, there were only three types of tea fruits placed in the tea Sea.

The three plates were dark brown in color, and one of them had a small green ball on it. It exuded a faint smell of gra.s.s, and it looked like some kind of Gra.s.s Ball.

The one in the middle was a light yellow color, and the exquisite pastry was printed with beautiful patterns. The last one was white jade-like, square, like a fine rice cake.

No one was eating in the quiet room. After a while, Colin personally asked,I see that youre holding a notebook. Are you planning to take notes or have you already taken notes?

Naturally, Collin was asking Yuan Zhou. After all, he was quite familiar with Zhou s.h.i.+jie and thus had nothing to say to him alone. Moreover, the purpose of his visit today was to discuss with Yuan Zhou, which was what he had agreed upon with Zhou s.h.i.+jie.

Its a record of some of the dishes Ive learned recently. Yuan Zhou picked up the notebook and said.

A good memory is not as good as a lousy pen. Its a good habit to record. Colin nodded in agreement.

Recording it down will help improve your shortcomings. Yuan Zhou also said.

I heard from Chairman Zhou that youve been learning two different cuisines at the same time, Qian cuisines and GUI cuisines? Colin asked, frowning.

Yes, I want to learn more cooking while Im still young. Yuan Zhou directly nodded his head and answered.

Youre not a chef of Sichuan cuisine? Why do you suddenly want to learn Guizhou cuisine and expensive cuisine? Collin was not satisfied with Yuan Zhous answer and thus continued asking.

Because Ive mastered and fully comprehended Sichuan cuisine. When he said that, Yuan Zhous att.i.tude was natural and his expression was calm. He said it quite indifferently.

Collin raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou s.h.i.+jie.

Little Yuan is a genius, or rather, an extremely hardworking genius. Zhou s.h.i.+jie sighed.

Youre good, very good. Colin said seriously.

Thank you, he said. Yuan Zhou said that to both Zhou s.h.i.+jie and Collin.

I wonder if its convenient for you to let me take a look at your notebook. After saying this, Colin realized that it was a little inappropriate, so he explained,I want to see how youre learning so that I can know where to start.

Normally, with Colins age of over 70 and the honor he had won, it was more than what other people could ask for. However, Colin felt that it was inappropriate to say so directly. Obviously, he was treating Yuan Zhou as an equal.

Of course. After a nod, Yuan Zhou stood up and went over with his laptop.

Meanwhile, Collin stood up and waited at his seat. When he took Yuan Zhous notebook, he received it with both hands, which indicated that he attached great importance to it.

Looking at the two of them chatting happily, Zhou s.h.i.+jie recalled the time when he was looking for Collin.

As the chairman of the chefs a.s.sociation, Zhou s.h.i.+jie was naturally the first one to know that Collin had come to Chengdu. When he heard the news, he immediately thought of Yuan Zhou who had been learning about Guizhou cuisine recently.

From the very beginning, Zhou s.h.i.+jie had intended to introduce Yuan Zhou to Collin so that the master of Guizhou cuisine could have an exchange with Yuan Zhou. In this way, he could also broaden his knowledge of the local cuisine.

When Colin arrived, Zhou s.h.i.+jie went to the hotel that he was staying in personally after the reception work was done.

It was already nineo clock in the evening by then. Zhou s.h.i.+jie and Colin had a good relations.h.i.+p and could be considered friends. After all, there were only a few people who stood at the top of the culinary world. Naturally, they knew each other.

Although Colin was only a teenager older than Zhou s.h.i.+jie and they were famous at different times, due to Zhou s.h.i.+jies current position, the two of them were of the same generation.

Master ke, theres really a reason why Im looking for you today. After the small talk, Zhou s.h.i.+jie said directly.

Alright, just call me by my name. Do I have to call you Chairman Zhou if you call me master ke? Colin relaxed.

Alright, Colin, I want to recommend someone to you. I want to talk about Guizhou cuisine with you in private, but you have to show me something useful. Zhou s.h.i.+jie nodded his head directly and then said.

A recommenter? Colin was puzzled. Although he didnt refuse, his expression was doubtful.

It should be known that Colin was a master of Guizhou cuisine and he had taken in an apprentice. If he still had to take out something useful during the discussion as Zhou s.h.i.+jie had said, not everyone could do it.

If he had the ability, wouldnt he know to leave it to his own disciple? why would he give it to an outsider?

However, Zhou s.h.i.+jie nodded his head directly and didnt keep him in suspense. He said the name,This man is Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou? The expression on Colins face faded. He muttered to himself for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

Alright, he said. Collin said.
