BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1636
Chapter 1636: Temporarily not receiving the reward
Yuan Zhou was speechless for a long time when he was being interrogated by his girlfriend, Yin ya, from the soul. Then, it was Yin ya who saw Wood’s embarrassment and hurriedly changed the topic.
“Blockhead, we’ll get off work early tonight. Besides, I missed you, so I came to take a look.” Yin ya said with a smile.
The sentence “I miss you” removed all of Yuan Zhou’s awkwardness. Then, the two of them got intimate with each other for a while.
“Xiao Ya, do you have any countries or cities you want to go to?” Yuan Zhou asked.
“The country you want to go to?” Yin ya thought for a while and said,”I don’t really want to go there. If I have to, I want to go to Vienna to see the Donau River.”
“Vienna.” Yuan Zhou read it once silently and then took it down seriously.
“What’s the matter? why are you suddenly asking about this?”Yin ya asked.
“What do you like to eat, drink, color, style of clothes, movies, and so on? I want to know everything you like.” Yuan Zhou said quite seriously.
The serious words of love were the most attractive. Yin ya’s fair face slightly blushed.
The two of them enjoyed the meal together until the pub was over. Then, Yuan Zhou and Yin ya sent Shen Min to the last bus together.
Only after that did Yuan Zhou send Yin ya back home. In the past, he sent her to the entrance of the unit. Now, he could send her to the door of the house. From time to time, she could even go in and sit for a while. Yuan Zhou felt that he had made quite a fast progress.
But tonight, Yuan Zhou just dawdled and refused to leave.
“Xiao Ya, did you forget something tonight?” Yuan Zhou said.
......
Yin ya thought for a while and still couldn’t figure out what Yuan Zhou was referring to, so she asked,””Eh? What did I forget, blockhead?”
“I’m telling you, I really like listening to Zhang xueyou’s songs. ” Yuan Zhou suddenly said that.
“I quite like you too, songgod Zhang xueyou. I just want to follow you for the rest of my life.” Yin ya still answered him despite being puzzled.
“Yes, Yes, that’s right. My favorite song is ‘the more innocent your smile is, the wilder I will love you’. But what was the name of this song again? I suddenly forgot about it when I was about to say it.” Yuan Zhou appeared to be puzzled.
“A kiss goodbye. That’s one of Zhang xueyou’s most famous songs.” Yin ya opened her mouth.
As soon as the words left her mouth, Yin ya knew what Yuan Zhou meant by “forgot.”
“Blockhead, you’re so good at beating around the bush now.” While saying that, Yin ya gave Yuan Zhou a kiss on the forehead.
“Alright, alright. Let’s go home and sleep. You have to get up early tomorrow,” Yin ya said.
Satisfied, Yuan Zhou turned around and went downstairs. He called a taxi and sang in a low voice,””I’ll kiss you goodbye on an empty street. I can’t refuse to let the wind laugh ...”
“Wait, this song seems to be a sad love song. Hmm, it’s better to sing less.” Yuan Zhou pondered in his heart.
“May I ask if you are Yuan Zhou, head chef Yuan?” The driver checked the car several times with the front mirror before he dared to ask.
“Master, if you’re asking about the head chef of master chef Restaurant, then it’s me.” Yuan Zhou said.
“I recognized him as soon as I got in the car. After all, I’ve seen head chef Yuan’s photo many times and I’ve always remembered it.” His master was quite young, probably no more than thirty years old.
Yuan Zhou had looked at the photo for many times and kept it in mind. He felt that the words sounded so strange.
“I’m so lucky. I didn’t expect to get head chef Yuan to join me tonight.” The taxi driver had a smile on his face as he said,”Head chef Yuan, I’ve wanted to thank you for a long time, but I never had the chance. I can’t accept your money today.”
So polite? Yuan Zhou really didn’t know that he had entered the stage of showing his face.
“Head chef Yuan, don’t be surprised. My father made it into the top ten of the three southwest province’s village chefs you held previously. Hehe, he’s now famous in Geda, our village. Business is very good, and my family has even opened branch restaurants in the county and town.” “That’s why I have to thank you for this, head chef Yuan,”the chef said.
“It’s because of uncle’s ability that I was able to get into the top 10, so you don’t have to thank me. It’s not easy to drive at night, so I still have to charge the fare.” Yuan Zhou said.
“It’s not easy to work both night and day shifts. ” “It’s one thing for my father to be capable, but there are many capable people out there,” the chef said.”Head chef Yuan, I have to thank you for providing me with this opportunity to show off.”
Yuan Zhou still wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by the driver.
“Head chef Yuan, please don’t decline. It only costs about 20 RMB to drive back to Taoxi road.” Since his master had said so, Yuan Zhou didn’t refuse anymore.
The Yun GUI Chuan three province chef’s conference was an event organized by Yuan Zhou more than a year ago. He didn’t expect that there would still be people who were grateful to him.
On the way, the taxi driver told him about his business. He used to stay in a small restaurant in the village, but young people wanted to go to the big city, so he came to Chengdu.
At first, he was working at the barbecue stall on Shuanglin road. However, when the boss found that the boss used frozen meat and bad meat, he reported it to the stall owner and came to drive a car.
At this time, there weren’t many cars, so there wasn’t any traffic jam. They arrived at the street in about ten minutes.
“Head chef Yuan, I can only stop here. I can’t enter Taoxi road.” The taxi driver said.
“I know. Thank you, master.” Yuan Zhou expressed his gratitude.
Even though it was so late, there were still barbecue and some small shops open on Taoxi road, so they could still meet diners and delivery riders on the way.
In the past, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant hadn’t become popular yet. But after 9:00 in the evening, Taoxi road didn’t even have any street lamps, let alone bustling with people. It was pitch black.
It was not like now, where the lights were bright and there were many night owls, cultivators, and demonic people who would come here to eat supper.
Yuan Zhou returned to the small room on the second floor. After washing up, he asked the system about the real perfume. Previously, when Yin ya came, he had temporarily put this matter aside.
“Little Tong, does the method of hiding the ingredients count as restoring the real perfume?” Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed,[the host has used a special method to achieve the description in “guanggong’s travels.” Congratulations to the host for completing the task. Do you want to receive the reward?]
The mission panel instantly changed:
[Mission] restoring the real perfume (completed)
[Mission reward] a big gift bag of street food (not received)
Yuan Zhou was dumbfounded. He didn’t come back to his senses until the system asked again whether he wanted to receive the reward.
“I won’t receive it for now.” Yuan Zhou said.
As mentioned before, the real perfume had been around for one or two hundred years. Even the system could only say that it fit the description in the ancient books, but could not determine whether it was correct.
Any thought and train of thought was a path. Naturally, Yuan Zhou also understood this point. However, for now, the real perfume was no longer a problem of culinary skills. It was more like a technique. To put it further, the further improvement in the composition of the real perfume was not culinary skills, but hand speed.
“Is there no way to make a real perfume with cooking?” With this thought in mind, Yuan Zhou went to sleep temporarily.
Of course, Yuan Zhou asked the system a very serious question before he went to bed,”If he didn’t receive the reward, it could be kept for a few days.
The system replied that it could be stored for five days.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou decided to give himself another five days to think.
Actually, Yuan Zhou had already racked his brain for the matter of the real perfume within the week. He had already asked all the people he could ask for help from. The reason why he still wanted to struggle was that, on the one hand, Yuan Zhou was a chef himself, and on the other hand, there was still one person he could ask for help from.
The next day.
The breakfast and lunch were carried out as usual. During the intervals, Yuan Zhou would always look outside the restaurant.
“Is the owner waiting for someone?” Zhou Jia noticed that Yuan Zhou was looking outside frequently and thus couldn’t help asking.
“Um,” Yuan Zhou nodded.
“If he’s not here, you can call him, boss.” Zhou Jia suggested.
“Do you think I’m stupid?” Yuan Zhou said.
“Er ...” Zhou Jia stuck out her tongue. If she could make a phone call, or if she knew that she would definitely make a phone call, she wouldn’t wait.
“By the way, how’s the internship going?” Yuan Zhou asked.
Zhou Jia said,”Sister Jiang is fine. Sister Tao Zi is also fine. I’m working in the Secretariat for the time being.”
“That’s good. ” Yuan Zhou still had some impression of the peach. She was quite an adorable little girl, although not as adorable as his Yin ya.
Yuan Zhou continued to sculpt while waiting. The observation group would not miss a single issue. Zhao Lun said that after all the characters from Water Margin were completed, they could hold a special sculpture exhibition, which would definitely shock the world.
In fact, it was not that exaggerated to shock the world, but it was not a problem to shock the whole country. After all, the skills contained in each statue could be seen by both laymen and experts.
After the carving was completed, Qin Kaili did not immediately bid farewell like she usually did. Instead, she stayed behind as if she had something to say.
“If there’s something, just say it.” Yuan Zhou said.
“President, you just finished carving. Why don’t you take a rest?” Qin Kaili asked.
“Sculpting is considered a rest.” Yuan Zhou said,”go ahead. I have to prepare the ingredients for dinner. I won’t have time.”
“All right, Chairman. The deadline is last month, and the registration period has ended. There are more than 700 chefs who passed the preliminary selection for the young chef’s exchange meet. This is the list. Please have a look, Chairman.”
That’s right. There were simply too many chefs who had signed up. There were so many that it was impossible for them to have such a large venue. Therefore, Qin Kaili and the others had discussed and decided to hold a preliminary selection.
He also asked Chairman Yuan Zhou about this proposal at once and got his consent. The preliminary selection was very simple. They would first set a theme, and the contestants had to finish recording it within three days.
For example, if the theme was fish, he had to record a video about fish. Spicy fish, pickled fish, or even paper-wrapped fish would do, and the video would be sent directly to the email.
After that, they would go through the three aspects of appearance, knife skills, and processing methods to jointly review it.
This was definitely a huge project, so many directors and members had been mobilized. Fortunately, there were many members in the Qing chef society, but it was only yesterday that the review was completed and the name list was confirmed.
There would be a review because there might be a problem with the shooting angle, which would cause problems in the cooking skills, so they would need to film again.
“Let me see.” Yuan Zhou took the name list and found it was very detailed.
Chutian kehong, 33 years old, head chef of Tianjin Dragon-Phoenix Hotel, good at Tianjin cuisine, signature dish: [Duyang three kinds of dishes and braised chicken, won ‘first place in the National cooking contest’,’top three in the Tianjin cooking League’, and ‘first place in the college cooking exhibition competition’.]
From his specialty to the awards he had won, everything was written clearly. In fact, Yuan Zhou was very interested in Tianjin cuisine. Although it was not among the top eight cuisines, it was still very good. For example, the two techniques of pushing and tuk were unique to Tianjin cuisine.
“Among these 780 chefs, there are 31 Japan chefs, 13 Korea chefs, 7 Vietnam chefs, 20 Thailand chefs ... And 319 foreign chefs.” Qin Kaili explained.
Basically, all the famous Asian countries had sent their chefs. Of course, there were still a few from Europe and America, but not many.
It seemed that Yuan Zhou had to put in a lot of effort before his influence could reach Europe and the United States.
Back to the main topic, Yuan Zhou glanced at it briefly and then said,””Are there so many chefs who passed the pre-selection?”
“We’ve already set our standards high enough, but the base number is too large. ” Qin Kaili smiled bitterly. She was helpless too.
“If it’s more than seven hundred people, we’ll have to change the competition system. Otherwise, the venue we rented won’t be able to accommodate so many people.” Yuan Zhou said.
The original plan was to have more than 100 participants, so the green Chef society rented a large square to put up the props and equipment. It was more than enough, but now ...
“That’s right, President. There’s one more thing I came here to discuss today, which is our competition system.” Qin Kaili said.
“Xinke square is a very good place, and it’s very convenient to get there. Besides, even if we change places, it’s hard to find a place that can accommodate more than 700 chefs to show off their cooking skills.” Yuan Zhou said.
If there were only 700 people, many large squares would not be a problem. However, these 700 people still had to display their cooking skills. No matter how simple the kitchen utensils were, they would still need a large space to fit them.
“That’s why I’m asking the person in charge of the Xinke square if I can rent it for seven days. The competition will last for a week,”said Yuan Zhou.
“We have the same idea as the president. One week is exactly the week of the competition.” Qin Kaili said.
“Yes, the order of the competition must be properly arranged. As for the activities, you must also cooperate with the official department’s arrangements and make sure that the safety facilities are in place.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Don’t worry, Chairman. The officials of Chengdu City are very supportive of our Green Chef society’s activities.” Qin Kaili said.
Thinking of the last solo exhibition, which brought many tourists and production value to Chengdu, it would be strange if they didn’t welcome him.
Then, Qin Kaili discussed the arrangement with Yuan Zhou.
It was probably about whether the Chinese and foreign chefs would be arranged to compete together or separately. In the end, Yuan Zhou decided to compete together.
It was indeed difficult to score Japanese, Sichuan, Cantonese, Vietnam, Thailand, and so on. However, the first round was based on a top-notch system, which meant that in a competition, those who scored higher would advance.
Yuan Zhou had always insisted that a delicious dish was a delicious dish. Even if the dish didn’t suit his taste, he couldn’t deny that it was a delicious dish.
Anyway, the questions would be fair.
For example, the cuisines that contained “beef.” The Western cuisines had steak, the Chinese cuisines could be stir-fried meat with pepper, the Vietnam cuisines could be beef River, the Thai cuisines could be beef patties, the Japanese cuisines could be beef sashimi, the niangyao cuisines could be xusha beef rice noodles, and the Philippines cuisines could be mechado and so on. Yuan Zhou believed that under the same conditions, the Chinese cuisines would not lose.
After the discussion, Qin Kelly left hurriedly. She was really busy, so busy that she didn’t even have the time to come to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.
Yuan Zhou collected his thoughts and looked around the crowd again.
“It seems like he won’t be coming today.” Yuan Zhou let out a sigh.
The person he was waiting for had once helped Yuan Zhou solve a difficult problem. Although he wasn’t a person from the cooking circle, he was very smart.
