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 embarrassed.
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 embarrassed and a little impressed.
“I’m really sorry, we’re 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,””It’s not wrong to show off in front of an expert. It’s 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 attitude towards cooking.
The participants 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 didn’t correct our attitude.” Qiu Ji first nodded his head in agreement with Yuan Zhou’s words and then slightly bowed to apologize.
“I’m 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.
“I’m fine,” Yuan Zhou stood up and received the bow.
“It’s normal for young people to be full of vigor. Zhong, continue with the next dish. ” Zhou Shijie 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. There’s no need for mine. I’ll only give it to head chef Yuan when I’m done.”
Zhong Lili was about to take Cui Hang’s chicken, but Cui Hang covered his plate directly, shaking his head and not allowing her to take it.
“I can’t be more embarrassed.” Cui Hang waved his hand.
Zhong Lili turned her head and looked at Yuan Zhou and Zhou Shijie helplessly.
Zhou Shijie smiled and didn’t 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 didn’t force Cui Hang.
“Alright, not just one, even ten will do.” Cui Hang quickly agreed.
Yuan Zhou didn’t say much. He just signaled Zhong Lili to go down and carry another person’s dish. This person was Wu Yue, a restaurant chef.
Naturally, Wu Yue didn’t stop him. He couldn’t wait for Yuan Zhou to give him more suggestions so that he could make better improvements.
However, Wu Yue’s character was introverted and he didn’t talk much, so he didn’t ask much. However, when it was Li Yu’s 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 embarrassed to ask.
“No, I’m just taking advantage of the opportunity.” Li Jun said proudly.
“I think it’s because you’re thick-skinned.” Tang Quan said.
“No, no, no, you guys are too introverted.” Li Yan answered while recording Yuan Zhou’s opinions.
Not to be outdone, Wu Yue also went up to look at Li Yu’s 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 embarrassed to let Zhou Shijie and Yuan Zhou taste it. Even the two pastry Masters at the side felt embarrassed 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 Shijie, 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 Shijie.
“Kuang Kuang”. The car left the headquarters of the chef’s Association quickly. Zhou Shijie then turned his head and asked,””How is it? Are you convinced now?”
“We’re not unconvinced. ” Qiu Ji tried to be stubborn.
“Hmph. You think that little Yuan is easy to bully just because he’s young and came out of nowhere?” Zhou Shijie had long seen through their thoughts, but he didn’t say anything. He didn’t say anything until now.
That’s 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 Shijie protecting them so much that they didn’t 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 passed it with a unanimous vote.
However, in Cui Hang and Qiu Ji’s eyes, it was a surprise that he took office at this time.
“No, no. Why would we doubt Chairman Zhou’s judgment?” The few of them quickly shook their heads.
“I definitely don’t dare to do that now.” Zhou Shijie said without any hesitation.
“Naturally,” Cui Hang and Qiu Ji said as they nodded.
It wasn’t that they didn’t 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 attitude of a chef.
When Yuan Zhou returned to the restaurant, it was already quite late. After washing 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 Zhou’s restaurant and smelling the fragrance to prolong his life.
However, when he turned around, he saw Ling Hong carrying something that didn’t match his image.
The weather was cold, but Ling Hong was still wearing a full suit with a flowery shirt inside. Two of the buttons on his collar were unbuttoned, 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 Hong’s 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 don’t 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 Yanyi’s fighting strength was also among the top three in the store.
