Chapter 1373
Chapter 1373: The arrival of the master
The weather in Chengdu was very nice to Yuan Zhou, probably because it was his first time holding an activity in person. After several days of haze, the sky cleared up early this morning. The sun also came to work on time and scattered its light.
As a matter of fact, it was already close to noon. As soon as he opened the door of the store, the sun just happened to shine right in front of the store.
However, because the entrance was surrounded by reporters, the shadows on the ground were all human shadows.
There was a sea of people. When it came to making big news, the reporters only respected Yuan Zhou.
It was difficult for other restaurants to invite so many reporters, and there was nothing explosive about it.
Unlike Yuan Zhou’s restaurant, which was full of explosive news, a sharp-eyed reporter saw the middle-aged man who fought for Yuan Zhou’s job with master Cheng ...
It seemed possible. Was he the new director of the tax bureau?
“Hua la”, the shutter door was opened. Yuan Zhou, master Cheng, Cheng Yu and director Lin all appeared at the door. Then, the reporters at the door became restless.
“Ka ka ka.” A large number of cameras and flashes started flashing.
“Boss Yuan, is the Tea Party going to start? It’s a private Tea Party whose scale is even larger than the tea culture Expo. What does boss Yuan have to say about this?”
Yuan Zhou was expressionless.”You’re blaming me for surpassing the Expo?”
“The Tea Party was set to start at oneo’ clock. There are still 37 minutes and 51 seconds left. Do you want to start earlier?”
With such accurate calculations, it was a pity to be a reporter. He should be introduced to junior high school or university to be a person who rang the bell to end the class.
“Has Ji Feng, master Ji, arrived?”
“I wonder how boss Yuan managed to invite master Ji from Dao Ji peak. Can you tell us about it?”
It’s him, it’s him, it’s him, our friend master Cheng! It was amazing to have a disciple.
“Boss Yuan, may I ask what’s the purpose of this Tea Party?”
“Boss Yuan, please answer me.”
The reporters were blocked outside by the strong Chen Wei and his friends he had caught. However, the crowd was still moving. This was the treatment of a celebrity.
All the above reactions were done in his heart. On the surface, Yuan Zhou was still expressionless.
First, he nodded his head at Chen Wei, who was standing still and blocking the reporters. Then, Yuan Zhou said,””It hasn’t started yet. Come out and pick her up.”
The words were still the same as usual, few but precise. Fortunately, the reporters in the front row were used to it. He jotted it down in his notebook, and then a new round of questions came one after another.
Yuan Zhou had a solemn face and didn’t have any reaction at all. When they saw that Yuan Zhou really didn’t make any progress, they turned their eyes to the person Yuan Zhou said he was going to pick up.
They didn’t have to wait long before a commotion broke out at the intersection of Taoxi road.
“Ji Feng, master Ji is here.” It was unknown who shouted this, but the reporters swarmed over.
They were like bees that had seen a large field of flowers, moving quickly and chaotically.
Even so, the number of reporters in front of Yuan Zhou didn’t decrease. Those reporters in the front row knew very well that no matter who came, Yuan Zhou was the host today and it was the most important for them to occupy this powerful position.
Chen Wei had already communicated with Yuan Zhou. Therefore, Yuan Zhou wasn’t worried that Ji Feng wouldn’t be able to pass the test when he saw the crowd surrounding him.
They had already arranged for people to escort them over.
In a short while, Yuan Zhou saw Ji Feng who was surrounded by layers of people. At the side, director Lin, who was craning his neck, also saw Ji Feng.
Ji Feng was about 60 years old. He was of average height and had a goatee like Zhou Shijie. He was dressed in a black Chinese tunic suit, which didn’t make him look chubby like Zhou Shijie. However, the “”() character between his eyebrows was very obvious. Apparently, he was a person who often frowned and looked even more serious than Lee Yanyi.
No, Lee Yanyi was indeed a little mean, but Ji Feng appeared to be extremely serious, just like Yuan Zhou who had a straight face.
When Ji Feng was still a distance away from the restaurant, master Cheng took the initiative to greet him and then led him to the restaurant.
Soon, Yuan Zhou and Ji Feng’s eyes met and they both nodded to each other.
This scene was also captured by the reporters. They named it “replacing the old with the new”. Of course, this was something to be talked about later. Now, after the two of them looked at each other, master Cheng hurriedly opened his mouth and made an introduction.
“Master, this is the tea master, Ji Feng, master Ji.” Master Cheng first introduced Ji Feng to Yuan Zhou and then Yuan Zhou to Ji Feng.
“Master Ji, this is my master, head chef Yuan Zhou. Although he is young, his culinary skills are far above mine.” Master Cheng said.
“Welcome, master Ji.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Hello,” he said. Ji Feng didn’t say much and simply nodded.
“I’ll have to trouble master Ji for the tea leaves today. ” Yuan Zhou said.
“If it’s worth it, I’ll naturally take action.” Ji Feng said.
“Of course it’s worth it.” Yuan Zhou said confidently.
“I hope so,” “Yes.” Ji Feng nodded and turned to face the reporters.
When they saw Ji Feng turn around, the reporters at the side started to ask questions.
“May I ask how master Ji managed to attract you to attend such a private Tea Party?”
“Master Ji, are you here because you have heard of boss Yuan’s culinary skills?”
“Master Ji, are you here to try boss Yuan’s cooking skills?”
“No, it’s because of the good tea.” Ji Feng wasn’t arrogant, he just didn’t like to socialize.
“Good tea? Master Ji’s tea exhibition had quite a few good teas, why did you decline?” After Ji Feng said that, a reporter immediately asked.
“Because there’s top-grade tea here,” Ji Feng was rather calm as he directly spoke.
What he meant was that there was good tea at the tea leaves exhibition, but there was no top-quality tea. If he wanted to invite him, he had to have top-quality tea.
The reporters were speechless, but they wouldn’t give up so easily.
The reporters began to direct their questions at what kind of good tea could convince him, and Ji Feng also directly said,””You have to ask boss Yuan about that. When I came here, he didn’t tell me what kind of tea leaves are the best tea.”
The reporters were also very flexible and immediately began to ask Yuan Zhou. However, Yuan Zhou didn’t mean to say anything and just looked at him indifferently.
Just as the atmosphere became a little awkward, someone suddenly shouted,””The chairman of the chef’s Association is here.”
Everyone turned their heads in unison. Sure enough, Zhou Shijie, Yu daoyi, and Chu Xiao had appeared on the street of Taoxi road.
Chu Xiao was dressed very formally today. He was dressed in a well-ironed bijian high-end custom-made suit, a large plaid shirt, a fitting three-piece suit, a maroon tie and a beautiful and shiny tie clip. He looked as if he was going to attend a banquet. He was very gorgeous and flamboyant, which was very in line with Chu Xiao’s usual style.
There was a silk handkerchief of the same color in the pocket of his suit. It could be seen that Chu Xiao was here to attend the Tea Party very formally today.
Or rather, they were all very formal. Even Zhou Shijie was dressed in a well-ironed black Chinese tunic suit. As for Yu daoyi, he was dressed in a new style of gray Daoist robe. His hair was tied up neatly, and the loose sleeves of his robe fluttered in the wind, making him look like an immortal.
The three of them walked over under the reporters ‘cameras. It was as if they were walking on a red carpet.
It was just that the three people’s styles didn’t match very well, or else they would look even more pleasing to the eye.
“Little Yuan, we’re early.” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.
“It’s not early, just in time,” Yuan Zhou said.
“Little friend,” Yu daoyi nodded in greeting.
“I’m waiting for your tea. ” Chu Xiao was much simpler and said straightforwardly.
“Of course.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
When Chu Xiao and Yuan Zhou greeted each other, the two people’s auras matched and they were wearing the same color. Although one was wearing a Han Chinese traditional clothing while the other was wearing a western suit, there was a strange harmonious feeling.
“No wonder they are the two most talented and amazing chefs of our younger generation.” Zhou Shijie sighed with emotion.
“I think there will only be one soon.” Yu daoyi said nonchalantly.
“Perhaps so.” Zhou Shijie looked at Chu Xiao and then at Yuan Zhou and said.
Chu Xiao’s international reputation was definitely above Yuan Zhou ‘s. After all, he had been working abroad and Yuan Zhou hadn’t entered the International market yet.
The reason why Zhou Shijie and Yu daoyi said that was because they were both very confident in Yuan Zhou. As long as Yuan Zhou made a name for himself overseas, he would definitely surpass Chu Xiao.
Just as the two of them were talking, the old man and grandfather Ling had also arrived at Taoxi road.
