Chapter 1456: Entering the life of old age in advance

After Yuan Zhou said that, the entire place became silent for a while. The Sichuan chefs appeared calm while the Cantonese chefs were a little embarra.s.sed.

After all, the four of them had all held back some of their skills, so they were naturally a little uncomfortable.

Having been seen through, Qiu Ji stood in front of Yuan Zhou and said nothing, feeling a little embarra.s.sed and a little impressed.

Im really sorry, were just showing off our skills in front of an expert. After quite a while, Cui Hang walked out of the kitchen range and bowed slightly to Yuan Zhou.

No, Yuan Zhou shook his head and continued,Its not wrong to show off in front of an expert. Its wrong to treat every opportunity to cook seriously.

Yuan Zhou had always thought so. When one left the kitchen, he could be an investor, a genius, or some other person. But once he entered the kitchen, a chef was just a chef.

His words made the four Cantonese chefs feel even more ashamed. They had unanimously decided on this matter because of the small dissatisfaction in their hearts.

However, he had not even eaten it yet. He could see through everything just by looking at it. One could imagine his standard. They had been proud of themselves when they knew nothing. Now, they realized that it was not a problem of face, but a problem of their att.i.tude towards cooking.

The partic.i.p.ants of the exchange meeting were all top chefs and pastry chefs of the younger generation, so they naturally realized their own problems very quickly.

The young generation of chefs could also put down their pride. Starting from the Qiu market, everyone had a reaction.

Head chef Yuan is right. We didnt correct our att.i.tude. Qiu Ji first nodded his head in agreement with Yuan Zhous words and then slightly bowed to apologize.

Im sorry, head chef Yuan. Then, the rest of them also lowered their heads and apologized guiltily.

Now, no one was dissatisfied with Yuan Zhou anymore. Even if Yuan Zhou looked as young as when he first entered the restaurant, these people no longer cared about his youth.

Im fine, Yuan Zhou stood up and received the bow.

Its normal for young people to be full of vigor. Zhong, continue with the next dish. Zhou s.h.i.+jie came out to smooth things over with a smile.

Only then did the atmosphere ease up.

Next dish. Yuan Zhou also said loudly.

No, no, no. Theres no need for mine. Ill only give it to head chef Yuan when Im done.

Zhong Lili was about to take Cui Hangs chicken, but Cui Hang covered his plate directly, shaking his head and not allowing her to take it.

I cant be more embarra.s.sed. Cui Hang waved his hand.

Zhong Lili turned her head and looked at Yuan Zhou and Zhou s.h.i.+jie helplessly.

Zhou s.h.i.+jie smiled and didnt say anything. In the end, it was Yuan Zhou who spoke.

Remember that you owe me a fragrant chicken. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didnt force Cui Hang.

Alright, not just one, even ten will do. Cui Hang quickly agreed.

Yuan Zhou didnt say much. He just signaled Zhong Lili to go down and carry another persons dish. This person was Wu Yue, a restaurant chef.

Naturally, Wu Yue didnt stop him. He couldnt wait for Yuan Zhou to give him more suggestions so that he could make better improvements.

However, Wu Yues character was introverted and he didnt talk much, so he didnt ask much. However, when it was Li Yus turn, Li Yan was a lot more talkative and took the opportunity to ask a lot of cooking questions.

Yuan Zhou also answered them one by one. This made Wu Yue cast a contemptuous look at him,Taking advantage of others.

Tang Quan nodded in agreement, because he was too embarra.s.sed to ask.

No, Im just taking advantage of the opportunity. Li Jun said proudly.

I think its because youre thick-skinned. Tang Quan said.

No, no, no, you guys are too introverted. Li Yan answered while recording Yuan Zhous opinions.

Not to be outdone, Wu Yue also went up to look at Li Yus notes, but he did not forget to refute.

Just like that, this temporary small-scale exchange meeting ended with the bickering of these people.

Overall, it was not bad. Of course, except for the Cantonese chefs, due to the personal decision of the four people, Cui Hang was not the only one who felt embarra.s.sed to let Zhou s.h.i.+jie and Yuan Zhou taste it. Even the two pastry Masters at the side felt embarra.s.sed to let them try it.

As such, the exchange ended much earlier than expected.

As Yuan Zhou still needed to open the restaurant in the evening, Zhou s.h.i.+jie, Zhong Lili and the eight chefs personally sent Yuan Zhou downstairs.

When Yuan Zhou left the restaurant, Qiu Ji and Cui Hang said at the same time,We will bring out a real dish before the exchange.

We are the same. The two pastry chefs quickly said.

Yes. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then turned around to get into the car prepared by Zhou s.h.i.+jie.

Kuang Kuang. The car left the headquarters of the chefs a.s.sociation quickly. Zhou s.h.i.+jie then turned his head and asked,How is it? Are you convinced now?

Were not unconvinced. Qiu Ji tried to be stubborn.

Hmph. You think that little Yuan is easy to bully just because hes young and came out of nowhere? Zhou s.h.i.+jie had long seen through their thoughts, but he didnt say anything. He didnt say anything until now.

Thats right. At the beginning, Qiu Ji and Cui Hang were somewhat dissatisfied with Yuan Zhou because not only was he appointed out of nowhere, but he was also the person-in-charge. At first glance, he was still so young. Naturally, they had a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts. However, when they saw Zhou s.h.i.+jie protecting them so much that they didnt even have the right to object, they could only find another way to express their dissatisfaction.

The person in charge of Yuan Zhou was appointed out of nowhere. How could the person in charge of such a comprehensive Asia-Pacific economic exchange be decided only when there was still half a month left?

It was precisely because of the disputes about the person in charge in the beginning that the discussion finally reached this point and Yuan Zhou pa.s.sed it with a unanimous vote.

However, in Cui Hang and Qiu Jis eyes, it was a surprise that he took office at this time.

No, no. Why would we doubt Chairman Zhous judgment? The few of them quickly shook their heads.

I definitely dont dare to do that now. Zhou s.h.i.+jie said without any hesitation.

Naturally, Cui Hang and Qiu Ji said as they nodded.

It wasnt that they didnt dare to question it. In just a short hour, they had been cleaned up and became obedient. Moreover, he had the demeanor of a master chef. On the other hand, they had lost the rigorous att.i.tude of a chef.

When Yuan Zhou returned to the restaurant, it was already quite late. After was.h.i.+ng up and changing his clothes, he went downstairs and started to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

At this time, the line had already started outside the door.

As usual, Wu Hai was the first one in the line. Today, Ling Hong was the second, and ruan Xiaoqing was the third. The customers behind him lined up in order.

While Ling Hong and ruan Xiaoqing were chatting, Wu Hai had been lying at the door of Yuan Zhous restaurant and smelling the fragrance to prolong his life.

However, when he turned around, he saw Ling Hong carrying something that didnt match his image.

The weather was cold, but Ling Hong was still wearing a full suit with a flowery s.h.i.+rt inside. Two of the b.u.t.tons on his collar were unb.u.t.toned, exposing his neck. He looked like a Playboy. However, Ling Hong just had to be carrying a black thermos cup in his left hand.

No discount Ling, have you entered the life of an old man in advance? Wu Hai pointed at Ling Hongs vacuum flask and asked directly.

Get lost, he said. Ling Hong peeked at ruan Xiaoqing carefully and then turned his head and said.

Well, I heard that elderly people have bad teeth. Why dont I share half of your dinner with you? While saying that, Wu Hai stroked his small mustaches and said earnestly.

Do you dare to say that to Lee Yanyi? Ling Hong said jokingly.

Wu Hai was instantly speechless.

Besides the faceless black beasts, Lee Yanyis fighting strength was also among the top three in the store.
