1786 The smug chef
The incident at the haunted Beer Street made the bar owner, Meng baihai, taste boss Yuan’s BBQ food while he investigated the introduction of various kinds of beer into his home. He was very busy.
On the other side, all kinds of reporters got busy again. After all, Taoxi road was quite lively with boss Yuan’s presence. All kinds of major events were happening one after another.
Even if he wasn’t at Taoxi road, as long as he was in the vicinity, he was still capable of causing trouble.
“Oh? The chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association, Zhang Yan, and the current leader of Sichuan cuisine, master Cheng. In addition, the vice-chairman of the green Chef society, Wan Li, and even old man Wang Huai are here. There are also a few famous chefs of Jiangsu cuisine. This Liu Li has quite a wide network. ” “The dog that discovered food” reporter, Qing Feng, muttered in a low voice.
This afternoon was the opening day of Liu Li’s new store,”Liu Li’s little store”. It was very lively. Many famous chefs came to offer their congratulations. News in the cooking circle was not as good as the entertainment circle, so the opening of famous chefs was big news. Although Liu Li was far from being a famous chef, she was still a representative of the younger generation of Jiangsu cuisine.
“Is your news so outdated?” The reporter from “culinary hero” couldn’t help but say.
Of course, Qingfeng’s surname was not Qing. His full name was Qingfeng Li. He was a foreign reporter from “the dog that discovered food”. He looked at the reporter with surprise and asked,””What? The news is so outdated?”
“Because Liu Li invited an incredible person to attend the opening of his new shop.” “That’s why President Zhang Yan, master Cheng, and Vice President Wanli are here,”the reporter from the outstanding culinary skills group said.
After saying that, the reporter began to take all kinds of photos. The reporter Qing Feng didn’t want to disturb him, so he pondered in his heart.
“Who’s so influential that Zhang Yan, master Cheng, Wanli, and old master Wang Huai can all come? wait … Zhang Yan, master Cheng, Wanli!” Qing Feng thought of a possibility. There was only one person who could connect these three people, the peak of Asia, Yuan Zhou!
“What the hell? I remember there was a report saying that Liu Li had studied under head chef Yuan before. He was one of those unofficial disciples.”
Just when Qing Feng was sighing with emotion, Yuan Zhou got off the car in formal clothes and walked over. Liu Li, master Cheng and Wan Li rushed up to greet him.
“Chairman”,”master Cheng”, and “Wanli” said almost at the same time.
“Hmm, how’s your homework?” When Yuan Zhou was a child, he hated those adults who asked others about their homework every time they opened their mouth. But now, he had finally become a person he hated.
“It’s already done. Master can look at it at any time. ” Master Cheng stood straight and answered.
“Yes.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou turned his head and asked another person,””How’s the meeting going?”
“Many young foreign chefs have applied to join the Qing chef society, especially those in Japan,” Wan Li said.”As for whether the Qing chef society will accept foreign chefs, it’s up to you to decide.”
Yuan Zhou nodded his head. He had to think about it carefully. Previously, the green chefs ‘Association was just an organization of young chefs in China. There were no rules that said that foreign young chefs could not join, but there was also no rule that said that foreign young chefs could join, because when Wan Li, Liao Yue, and the others established it, they had never thought that their organization could be so big.
“Crack””crack”
The reporters had a tacit understanding and started to take pictures as soon as Yuan Zhou showed up.
“Head chef Yuan, since you are able to take time out of your busy schedule to come here, I feel that my Liu Li’s restaurant will definitely have a good start.” The smile on Liu Li’s face was as bright as ever.
“I don’t have anything to give you since it’s the opening of the new shop.” Yuan Zhou handed the small basket to Liu Li,””I just made some shipping stops. I hope the restaurant can be warm and prosperous.”
“Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Liu Li hurriedly received the gift. When the Jiangsu restaurant opened, there was a custom of giving away boats. Usually, it was the elders who gave the boats to the juniors. Strictly speaking, Liu Li was a few years older than Yuan Zhou. However, it was not disharmonious at all for Yuan Zhou to give away this gift.
“Elder Wang, and President Zhang.” Yuan Zhou walked to the two and greeted them politely.
“Hahaha, I won’t be the president in two days,” Zhang Ye replied with a chuckle.
“Then, after the president retires, have you thought about what you want to do?” Yuan Zhou asked with concern.
Zhang Ye’s mind whirred and he suddenly had an idea,”Little Yuan, do you want me to be your assistant chef?”
“？？？”Yuan Zhou was stupefied. Wasn’t it a little too much to ask the former chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association to be an assistant chef? most importantly, master chef Restaurant didn’t need an assistant chef.
“Hahaha, I’m just saying. I know little Yuan doesn’t need any kitchen hands.” Zhang Yan laughed,”but initially, I thought that the most suitable person to be the chairman of Sichuan cuisine would be you, little Yuan. But Zhou Shijie refused to agree to it.”
“Zhou Shijie isn’t the only one who disagrees. I disagree as well. Head chef Yuan’s Jiangsu cuisine is top-notch. What right do you have to be the president of your Sichuan cuisine Association? you should be the president of our Jiangsu cuisine Association. Anyway, hang Tian is also thinking of retiring. How about it? are you interested in it, head chef Yuan?” Wang Huai said.
Hang Tian: “??”
What was going on with his brother? why did he voluntarily step down without hang Tian knowing?
Wang Huai was older than Zhang Ji in terms of seniority and age, so Zhang Ji didn’t argue with him.
Fortunately, Wang Huai was well aware that it was impossible for Yuan Zhou to be the chairman of any regional cuisine alone. However, it was possible for him to take over the position of Chairman from Zhou Shijie in the future. Therefore, he didn’t dwell on this matter.
“Head chef Yuan, I really have to thank you for what happened to Mingjie.” “If I didn’t come to Chengdu to have an exchange with you, head chef Yuan,” Wang Huai said,”I don’t know when my cooking skills will improve.”
“It’s the accumulation of head chef Wang Mingjie’s cooking skills. He has already reached this level.” Yuan Zhou answered.
“Hahaha, Mingjie can also be considered half your apprentice, head chef Yuan.” Wang Huai said.
Master Cheng, who was standing behind Yuan Zhou, felt bitter in his heart. Why did he become half a disciple again? He wanted to say something, but the disciple was not allowed to interrupt the master’s conversation.
Zhou Shijie, Wang Huai and Yuan Zhou chatted for a while. The main character of the day was Liu Li.
Apart from the opening time, the new shop was well-behaved and even announced a 40% discount on all dishes at night. The actual benefits made the onlookers happy.
“Tsk, tsk. Head chef Yuan really has a reputation. President Zhang, master Cheng, and Vice President Wanli are all his followers.” Reporter Qing Feng did a quick count. Among the big bosses, it seemed that only Wang Huai was here because of Liu Li’s identity as a chef.
“That’s not right. The reason why Grandpa Wang is here is because he has been staying in Rong city. As for why he is here, it’s obviously because of head chef Yuan.” Qing Feng muttered. In the cooking world, whoever got Yuan Zhou would get the world!
“Take your time. Our magazine has arranged an exclusive interview with head chef Yuan.” The reporter from chef Jie said proudly.
“Hetui, what’s there to be proud of? it’s just that you have a good relationship with head chef Yuan.”
Reporter Qing Feng looked at chef Jie’s back and couldn’t help it. In the past,”the dog that discovered food” was a grade higher than “chef Jie”, whether it was in circulation or popularity.
However, ever since “outstanding culinary skills” had interviewed Yuan Zhou, it had made a comeback and its sales and exposure had greatly increased. All the news reporters knew that Yuan Zhou was the most difficult person to interview among the famous people.
Why was “culinary hero” able to succeed again and again? this was also a mystery in the news industry.
Well … Actually,”culinary arts heroes” was also very confused. Why did Yuan Zhou suddenly accept their interview? and it was twice. Today was the third time.
