Chapter 2109: Three-quarters already
Translator: 549690339
A storm had already set off in Yuan Zhou’s heart. He had never thought that the old chef would have such an original achievement. Moreover, it was a sudden attack. There was no special ceremony. He came after the Gaogou meeting he organized.
Originally, Yuan Zhou had been pondering what method he should use to get the leftover stove and the old chef Achievement Award when he had the time. Now, however, they were presented to him.
Strictly speaking, Yuan Zhou had always felt that the Sichuan cuisine master chef Achievement Award was the most difficult of the four great achievements in the domestic circle of chefs, unlike the other three, which had specific fixed standards.
Looking at the various chopsticks stacked together, Yuan Zhou was really touched. He was touched by the recognition.
“Congratulations, head chef Yuan. This reward is well-deserved.” This was the voice of the famous chefs of the Sichuan cuisine Association and the chefs who had just attended the meeting.
“Thank you. I will work harder on the road of cooking.” Yuan Zhou said with an earnest expression.
As a future master chef, he had to be proficient in all kinds of delicacies in order to lose his title. Of course, as a native of Chengdu, he naturally liked to eat Sichuan cuisine. This was a matter of feelings.
“Head chef Yuan has made a lot of Sichuan cuisine.” Zhang Ye said.
“I can’t compare to head chef Zhang. Besides, I only did what I should have done.” Yuan Zhou said.
“The change you have brought to Sichuan cuisine can not be erased. The achievement of being an experienced chef is just adding flowers to a brocade.” Zhang Ye said.
“Thank you. Thank you, everyone.” With a solemn expression, Yuan Zhou slightly bent his waist to show his gratitude.
“Pa pa pa pa”
Everyone started clapping in unison.
......
The show started and ended. In the blink of an eye, it was time to leave. The chefs left in an orderly manner. Of course, before they left, they would come to congratulate Yuan Zhou. Those who attended the Gaogou meeting would also thank him.
In the blink of an eye, the bustling scene had turned into two or three small kittens.
“President, we’ll take our leave first. The materials for this meeting will be handed over to you tomorrow.” Xu ban and Wanli came to say goodbye to Yuan Zhou.
“Alright, you guys can go back first.” Yuan Zhou said.
“We’ll be leaving then. Congratulations, President.” Xu ban said.
“Congratulations to the president for winning the award,” Wan Li added.
After that, he bade farewell to Zhang Yan and master Cheng and left.
“Master, congratulations, congratulations.” Master Cheng came over with a big smile.
“I didn’t expect to give out the awards today. I was thinking of inviting you to the ceremony some time later, but President Cheng suggested that we do it on this occasion. It’s perfectly justifiable, and it looks like it’s a good idea.” Zhang Ye said with a face full of emotion,”this event that you’ve organized is really good. I saw that there were a few good seedlings of Sichuan cuisine at the venue today. I think they’ve improved again after this.”
“No, I just answered some of your questions. Besides, many of the questions were discussed by everyone.” Yuan Zhou waved his hand and then turned to Chairman Cheng,””Zhao Mei, you’ve been working hard recently.”
He had a high IQ to begin with. When Zhang Yan mentioned it, Yuan Zhou roughly guessed the truth of Cheng zhaomei being very busy recently.
Although giving out an award was as simple as having dozens of people gather to give a pair of chopsticks, there was a lot of preparation work in the early stage. From the proposal to approval to the award ceremony, the process was complicated. It was no wonder that Cheng zhaomei was so busy.
“It’s not hard, it’s not hard. ” Cheng zhaomei felt happier to receive her master’s kind concern than to pick up money.
Seeing that it was getting late, Zhang Yan bade farewell to Yuan Zhou as he still had some follow-up matters to deal with. When he left, he even brought Cheng zhaomei along. After all, he was the legitimate Chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association.
Yuan Zhou checked the system and found that the mission progress of “Master 3 of the Masters” had become (3/4). He only needed to finish the last task.
“Let’s put aside the task for now. I should be able to read two more pages if I walk back. I should be able to finish reading the ‘water mirror’ from last night.” Yuan Zhou thought while walking.
Recently, he had been studying a book about water that he had chanced upon. It mainly talked about the application of various types of water, such as which water should be used to cook unsmiling rice, which water should be the highest for cooking soy milk, or which water should be used to wash some ingredients. It seemed to be very particular.
Even Yuan Zhou, who had been edified by the system, felt that it was quite refreshing. Compared to the water where various tea leaves were to be soaked in, the temperature of the water was not much different.
“Di di di di.”
At that moment, the phone rang. It was the sound of the memo. There were some things that were too busy to be remembered even with Yuan Zhou’s good memory. Therefore, the memo was indispensable.
“Eh, what’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou took out his phone and looked at the memo, only to see four words written on it,[Lele’s birthday].
These four words suddenly opened Yuan Zhou’s memory. He flipped through the calendar and found that tomorrow was Lele’s birthday.
“It’s about time. I remember the last time Lele sent a letter was ten days ago. She should be able to reply tomorrow, and I have to prepare a birthday gift.” Yuan Zhou muttered.
Ever since he had reached an agreement with the three-headed little bean Lele, Yuan Zhou had been writing a letter to her every 10 days. Although the letter was written by Yin ya on his behalf and Yuan Zhou couldn’t write it with the gentleness of a woman, the content was basically oral.
Only Yuan Zhou, who often came into contact with Lele, knew how to reply to her.
What gift should I give? After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou suddenly recalled that little bean had once mentioned her mother. She had said that her mother wanted to go to the shopping mall with him to play with ceramic art and color the brush holder, but she had to go far away before she could finish the painting.
“I remember that there’s a children’s pottery shop in the mall nearby. Is that it?” Yuan Zhou made a turn at the intersection and walked towards the shopping mall.
It wasn’t a long way, only five minutes later, Yuan Zhou arrived at the first basement of the shopping mall. When he arrived, he found many parents were playing with their children and the children were having a good time.
For the older ones, they would pinch the cups by hand and for the younger ones, they would paint with a watercolor pen. Yuan Zhou was a little dazed. He only played with plasticine when he was young and had never played with this thing before.
Considering his own hands-on ability, Yuan Zhou decided to buy three boxes of clay and two boxes of watercolor in case he needed them.
After he bought everything, it was almost time to prepare the ingredients for dinner. Yuan Zhou washed up quickly and changed his clothes before he started.
At the beginning of the dinner time, some well-informed people knew that Yuan Zhou had received another award. Therefore, during the meal, some customers would congratulate Yuan Zhou from time to time. Then, some people who didn’t know about this would be explained.
“Compass, do I have to give you a gift when I win the award? I’ve already prepared it.” Wu Hai went up to him.
As he spoke, he opened his hands slightly, as if he wanted to catch the thing that was thrown at him. His posture was very standard, and he was just short of taking out a bowl to catch it.
“What do you want to eat tonight?” Yuan Zhou pulled back the attention of the Black Beast with just one sentence.
After the dinner time ended, Yuan Zhou prepared the sober-up set meal and the chilled cup in advance and handed them to Mao Ye. Then, he returned to the second floor.
He had more important things to do today.
