Chapter 1164: In progress with the village chef event
A roasted whole lamb weighed about 31 to 34 catties after it was roasted. Including Yuan Zhou, 14 people ate it together. They started eating at nineo’ clock, and at about Teno’ clock, there were only bones left on the table. Or rather, the bones were all on everyone’s plate while the longest spine was occupied by Wu Hai alone. “I’m the one who invited you to dinner today, so this bone belongs to me,”he said. As the biggest bone was taken away by Wu Hai, the remaining leg bones were divided equally among them. However, Yuan Zhou didn’t participate in it. He just watched them distribute the last sheep bones quietly. After all, he was a person who could roast a sheep for himself at any time. Therefore, he didn’t want to snatch their food. At this time, while gnawing on the goat spine, Wu Hai said with a clear and perfect accent,””Are there still dumplings to eat at the Dragon Boat Festival today?” After Wu Hai said that, everyone looked at Yuan Zhou expectantly. “No, I didn ‘t,” Yuan Zhou answered straightforwardly. “Alright,” he said. Wu Hai looked at the bone in his hand and then at his stomach. He didn’t make a fuss. However, the restaurant was silent for less than a second before Ling Hong spoke again,””Then why did you think of treating us to roasted lamb for the Dragon Boat Festival?” “It’s a Festival, so it’s fun to eat together. ” Yuan Zhou answered earnestly. “Ahem.” Wu Hai coughed to attract everyone’s attention. Then, he slightly relaxed the goat spine in his hand and started to talk. “A Festival, right? Let’s not talk about the Spring Festival on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year, and the Qingming Festival on the 5th day of the Lunar New Year. Yuan Zhou, you didn’t treat me to a meal. Let’s talk about the other festivals. ” Wu Hai originally wanted to stroke his small mustaches, but when he raised his hand, he found it was full of oil and then put it down. “Other than the Dragon Boat Festival, there’s also the Chinese Valentine’s Day on the 7th of July, the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 15th of August, the double sun Festival on the 9th of September, the Laba Festival on the 8th of December, and the Chinese New Year’s Eve on the 30th of December. I’m very free, and I especially like to eat with people.” Wu Hai looked at him with a sincere look. Wu Hai’s words were both fast and clear, causing all the people at the side to be stunned. “Wu Hai, you even have the ability to memorize the calendar?” Ling Hong said in surprise. “I even know how to memorize the recipe.” Wu Hai said complacently. “My Wu Hai, you’re amazing.” Jiang Changxi reached out her hand and patted Wu Hai’s head with an approving look. “Yeah, Wu Hai, well done.” Chen Wei gave him a thumbs up. Wu Zhou’s family of three also gave Wu Hai a big thumbs up to show that he was awesome. Mr. Wei and his daughter revealed the same expectant face and looked at Yuan Zhou. Yin ya, Zhou Jia and Shen Min were the most reserved. “Speaking of which, Yuan Zhou, we are all very willing to accompany you to have a meal. We don’t have to stick to the festivals. I’ll be there whenever you call me.” Ling Hong patted his chest and said that with a sense of loyalty. As soon as he said this, the people around him nodded in agreement. “Hehe.” Looking at this group of people, Yuan Zhou was instantly speechless. “I can come even if I don’t call. I’m just upstairs.” Wu Hai added silently. “Hurry up and eat. It’s going to rain heavily.” Yuan Zhou held back the impulse to beat this group of people to death and said lightly. “Alright, alright, alright. Don’t forget that our promise is still valid.” Everyone said this in unison. Yuan Zhou stood up and washed his hands, not saying anything. With this interlude, everyone stopped teasing Yuan Zhou. After all, they were still waiting for the next meal together. Therefore, the end of the whole roasted lamb was especially peaceful. Everyone gnawed on the bones seriously and then said goodbye to Yuan Zhou one by one after the meal. Yuan Zhou stood at the door and saw them off as they walked out of the brightly lit Taoxi road. Then, they left. After that, Yuan Zhou returned to the restaurant and started to clean up slowly by himself. Actually, Yin ya, Zhou Jia and Shen Min all wanted to stay and help him with the cleaning, but they were all refused by Yuan Zhou. “I had a good day today.” After Yuan Zhou finished cleaning up, he couldn’t help revealing a smile while washing his hands. As for the remaining sheep bones, they naturally belonged to broth and the rice. They were also good for grinding teeth. Luckily, Wu Hai couldn’t bite through the sheep bone. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be any left. Yuan Zhou went upstairs and read a book. He went to bed an hour earlier than usual. The next day, he got up at 5:30 am to exercise and then prepared breakfast. Once the breakfast time ended, Yuan Zhou received the photos taken by su mu. “You have a new email.” This was an email reminder that Yuan Zhou had specially set up. As soon as he heard the voice, Yuan Zhou wiped his hands and immediately took up his phone to check. Yuan Zhou looked through the photos on his phone with a gentle expression. Apparently, he was quite satisfied. “I have a good foundation and long legs, so I look good no matter what you take. It’s just that the screen of this phone is a little small.” Yuan Zhou said in his heart. After the examination, Yuan Zhou considered for a while and then directly sent three pictures to Zhong Lili. These three pictures were the most low-key and meaningful ones in Yuan Zhou’s eyes. In the first picture, Yuan Zhou was crossing his arms in front of his chest and looking at the camera with sharp eyes. In the second picture, it was a side profile of him cooking. From the picture, one could see his serious look, although it was just a pose. The third one was the front side of the kitchen, with the retro kitchen stove below. Yuan Zhou was very satisfied with each of the pictures and felt that they were very suitable for the village chef activity. One minute after the email was sent, Zhong Lili received a reply. After doing that, Yuan Zhou heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Then, he began to practice the new sculpting with even more concentration. “I’ll strive to make all the plates made with these materials by hand in the future. ” Yuan Zhou set a goal for himself in the heart. Time passed very quickly. While Yuan Zhou was sculpting seriously and the tableware in the restaurant was being changed bit by bit, the activity of the village chef was carried out in full swing. As Yuan Zhou of Sichuan Province was the one who took the lead in investing in this event, supervised by the chef’s Association and jointly organized by the three provinces, and Zhou Shijie intended to make Yuan Zhou famous, Yuan Zhou’s name was always in the official report. Of course, during this period, Zhou Shijie had also ordered that the media were not allowed to interview Yuan Zhou. He only said that Yuan Zhou was studying cooking skills. In Zhou Shijie’s opinion, he shouldn’t disturb Yuan Zhou’s time to study his culinary skills while he was making a name for himself. This activity would start with the selection from all the provinces, cities, and towns, and then the competition would be held in the provincial capitals of Yun, GUI, and Chuan provinces. After the top ten were selected, the competition would be held in the provincial capital of Chuan, the headquarters of the chef’s Alliance. The event went on very quickly. The finals of the cooking competition would be held in a month. During this period, Yuan Zhou accepted two interviews and also showed his face in the competition. As for the first activity organized by himself, Yuan Zhou paid a lot of attention to it and paid close attention to the progress of the competition. If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t get away, Yuan Zhou would have gone to various provinces and cities to watch the activities in person. However, Zhong Lili, who had been standing on the human-shaped signboard in every competition venue, finally chose the photo with the front side. Moreover, due to this event, Yuan Zhou’s popularity among the village chefs soared and his fame spread all over the three provinces. This was a sign that the villages were surrounding the city. ……
