Chapter 1327
Chapter 1327: The most famous
Although it was an exchange, since the official start, the four of them sat around a table and talked about things related to the cuisines of the three provinces.
From the origin of the ingredients to which dish needed to be matched with what knife skills to make the best, to the taste of the dish, the four people did not stop discussing for a whole two and a half hours.
All these were recorded by the young man’s camera faithfully.
This kind of video might seem boring to an outsider, but in the eyes of a chef, it was an extremely rare and precious summary of experience. After all, people who liked to teach nowadays were all people who were half-baked.
When the time was up, the four people still wanted more, but they were clear that they couldn’t disturb Yuan Zhou’s opening of the restaurant in the evening. Therefore, they all said goodbye and left.
Of course, before they left, Liu Xi and Liu Jian did not forget to remind Zhang Yan to make a copy of the video.
Zhang Yan agreed perfunctorily and then said goodbye to Yuan Zhou happily. He had completely forgotten that he had come here to ask two things.
When Yuan Zhou saw Zhang Yan walking away, he also thought of what Zhang Yan had asked at the beginning,””Speaking of which, President Zhang seemed to have asked about the yellow Rosewood just now. Should I remind him?”
They were frantically probing the edge of death.
“Forget it, let’s not talk about it.”
After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou shook his head slightly. Then, he turned around and went back to his restaurant to prepare the ingredients for dinner. Of course, he had to wash up again before he started to prepare.
While Yuan Zhou was busy, some people were also busy with the opening of the new restaurant.
This man was Zhou Shijie’s favorite, most talented and youngest disciple, Liu Tong. He had opened his own gourmet Hall and was about to open for business.
Liu Tong was sitting in the main seat of the conference room and putting away the menu that he had just drawn up.
The other seats in the conference room were also half-filled, and these people were the management staff of the club. They were all preparing for the opening.
“We have already decided on the candidate for head chef Liu’s opening tailoring. It’s right below this document.” A middle-aged man near Liu Tong pushed up his glasses and said.
“Yes. Head chef, let’s see how many we can invite.” The young woman opposite the middle-aged man nodded in agreement.
One of them was the head chef of the kitchen, and the other was the lobby manager. Both of them were hired by Liu Tong himself, and it was also Liu Tong’s request to address them in this way.
This restaurant was opened by Liu Tong himself. He was very confident in its name, which was Liu Tong gourmet Hall.
He didn’t like people to call him boss. At first, he wanted people to call him Restaurant Master, but Zhou Shijie disdained him. Therefore, he called him head chef directly.
“PA.” Liu Tong closed the folder that contained the menu, but he didn’t open the list of ribbon-cutting staff.
The arrogance on Liu Tong’s young face had already faded away, and he had become a bit more steady. Of course, the confidence on his face had not changed.
“Who do you think has the best cooking skills in Rong city?” Liu Tong asked.
“Of course, it’s your master, Chairman Zhou, head chef Liu.” The head chef said immediately.
“That’s right. But head chef Liu, your cooking skills are only inferior to the president ‘s.” The young lobby manager said directly and sincerely.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Head chef Liu’s cooking is the best.”
A few of them chimed in. Liu Tong smiled and didn’t say anything. He waited until everyone stopped before he said,”No, there are still many people who are good at cooking.”
The meeting room quieted down after he said that. No one bragged mindlessly, but quietly waited for Liu Tong’s next words.
“Since it’s opened by me, Liu Tong, it’s naturally the best to invite them.” Liu Tong said in a powerful and resonating voice.
“But didn’t you say that Chairman Zhou wouldn’t participate in such a ceremony?” The middle-aged man in charge of the kitchen asked in confusion.
“That’s right. My master naturally won’t be participating. ” Liu Tong nodded.
“Are you going to cut the ribbon alone? After all, head chef Liu’s identity and cooking skills are all top-notch. ” The lobby manager responded quickly.
“No, there might be different opinions if we want to say that the cooking skills in the three provinces of Yun GUI Chuan are the best. There are hundreds of dishes, but if we say that it is the most famous in the cooking world, there is no dispute.” Liu Tong shook his head and said.
“Head chef Liu, are you talking about Yuan Zhou?” The people in the meeting room immediately reacted.
In the meeting room, other than Liu Tong and another head chef, no one else was from the cooking world. However, they were still able to call out Yuan Zhou’s name at the first moment. One could imagine how famous Yuan Zhou was.
“Yes, that’s him.” Liu Tong nodded.
However, as soon as Liu Tong nodded, the noisy meeting room fell silent.
Since they knew Yuan Zhou, they naturally also knew the reason why he had never stood up for others. How difficult it was to invite Yuan Zhou was almost the same as his reputation of cooking skills.
One should know that there was once a hotel that offered 5 million Yuan to invite Yuan Zhou to cut the ribbon at the stage for business opening. However, Yuan Zhou directly refused without even thinking about it.
The people in the conference room felt that the difficulty of inviting Yuan Zhou was the same as that of inviting Zhou Shijie. It might even be more difficult.
That’s right. As Zhou Shijie’s beloved inner disciple, Zhou Shijie, as the master of Liu Tong’s new shop, should have come to visit him. However, Zhou Shijie couldn’t come.
Not to mention Liu Tong, Zhou Shijie didn’t even go to Li Minghui’s restaurant when he was his eldest disciple.
It was because Zhou Shijie was not only their master, but also the chairman of China chefs ‘Alliance. And that was a public position.
As long as he hadn’t stepped down, he wouldn’t be able to attend such public gatherings of his disciples, relatives, and friends. This was a rule that Zhou Shijie had set for himself.
According to Zhou Shijie, civil servants should never set the law as the minimum standard for themselves.
Of course, Liu Tong knew this. Therefore, he only told Zhou Shijie his opening time and didn’t invite him at all.
“But head chef, I heard that boss Yuan is not easy to invite.” The lobby manager carefully reminded.
“I know, I will personally invite him.” Liu Tong said with confidence.
The lobby manager choked and complained in his heart.”Nowadays, who doesn’t come to boss Yuan’s restaurant in person to invite him? but none of them succeeded.”
Although the lobby manager and the others didn’t say it clearly, Liu Tong obviously found everyone’s doubts.
“Don’t even think about it. I didn’t invite you in any special way. It’s only because I’m Chairman Zhou’s disciple,”Liu Tong said.
Liu Tong said this with pride. Of course, this was indeed something to be proud of.
“You guys only know that boss Yuan is hard to invite, but you don’t know that boss Yuan is a very pure person. He has a very close relationship with my master. Strictly speaking, he can be considered as half a senior brother. Therefore, my success rate is very high.” Liu Tong said seriously.
With that said, everyone present understood.
Of course, he would. The ribbon-cutting stage could be considered big or small. Besides, Zhou Shijie and Yuan Zhou had a very good relationship. This was something that many people knew.
“I’ll go and invite him directly tomorrow. There’s nothing else to explain. Prepare well. The opening time is approaching. Meeting adjourned.” Liu Tong said.
Liu Tong said that he would leave after the meeting was over. At this time, the people in the conference room also stood up and began to say goodbye.
The large meeting room was empty in a short while.
“That’s a good idea. I’m really smart. Who can cut the ribbon with more face than boss Yuan?” Liu Tong thought.
Speaking of which, Liu Tong and Yuan Zhou were of the same age, but the difference between them ... Well, if he said too much, it would easily cause discomfort.
In any case, Chairman Zhou nagged in the ears of his disciples every day,”it would be great if you had half of little Yuan’s talent,””you can’t be half-hearted when it comes to cooking, or the taste of the dishes will also be half-hearted,” and so on.
Zhou Shijie told all his disciples to set Yuan Zhou as their target.
“Although I can’t catch up for now, I’ve already taken the first step. With more time, I’ll definitely be closer!” Liu Tong thought with full confidence.
