1874 The commotion caused by the in-name disciples
Let’s talk about the announcement that was posted on the internet. The first string of content was about the increasing influence of Chinese cuisine in the world, and the efforts and arrangements that the China chef’s Alliance had made.
The above string was almost all the important announcements made by the chef’s Association. They were all in this format and were about a thousand words long.
Then, it was time for business.
[In order to promote cooking skills and cultivate responsible and talented chefs, the president of the China World famous chef Alliance, the director of the China Chef Alliance, and the director of the Lu cuisine Association, Yuan Zhou, has recruited 14 chefs from Sichuan cuisine, Guizhou cuisine, Yunnan cuisine, Lu cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Cantonese cuisine and foreign cuisine. The chefs of each cuisine can register at the regional cuisines Association and the local cuisines Association will submit a report to the chef’s Association.]
That’s right, the director position of the Lu cuisine Association was newly decided during a board meeting that night.
This announcement instantly triggered a heated discussion among the onlookers.
“It’s probably because it’s almost the new year. So boss Yuan started to stir up trouble again? Let’s not talk about the nattedan mineral water before, then the Shandong cuisine was served, and now we’re taking in nominal disciples. Boss Yuan, can you please let my wallet stop for a while?”
“Tsk, tsk. No wonder you’re the number one chef in Asia. Apart from me, boss Yuan, who else can take in a disciple in name and create such a momentum?”
In addition to the comments that supported Yuan Zhou, there were also commenters who began to play their part.
a said,”I’m a chef of Cantonese cuisine.”
[b: I am a chef of Jiangsu cuisine.]
a said,”I learned Cantonese cuisine from a famous Sichuan chef, and after I succeeded, my goal was to become the president of the Cantonese cuisine Association.”
[b: say,’I’m also learning Jiangsu cuisine from a famous Sichuan chef, and my goal is to become the president of the Jiangsu cuisine Association.’]
This joke was referring to the fact that Cheng zhaomei, the disciple taught by Yuan Zhou, was also the chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association.
Then, people’s thoughts started to wander. Maybe the Presidents of the eight major cuisines in the future would all be Yuan Zhou’s disciples …
Of course, there was a problem with the joke. Yuan Zhou was not only a famous chef of Sichuan cuisine. Had he asked for the opinion of the other cuisines such as Jiangsu cuisine, Guizhou cuisine, and Lu cuisine before he said that?
He looked at the official Weibo accounts of the associations and saw that they had all reposted this Weibo.
Cantonese cuisine Association: repost #Head chef Yuan is the top Cantonese chef. If you can learn some of head chef Yuan’s Cantonese cuisine, you will definitely become the pillar of Cantonese cuisine #@Song Ming
Jiangsu cuisine Association: repost #Head chef Yuan is the top Chef of Jiangsu cuisine. If you can learn some of head chef Yuan’s skills in Jiangsu cuisine, you will definitely become the pillar of Jiangsu cuisine #@hangtian
It was followed by Sichuan cuisine, Guizhou cuisine, Lu cuisine, and Dian cuisine. The format was exactly the same, but a few words were changed. Now, even the official Weibo knew how to be lazy.
Getting back to the main topic, it was actually quite a lot for Yuan Zhou to recruit six Chinese cuisines. However, he couldn’t stand it. China had a long history of thousands of years and its food culture was even more brilliant. There were really too many branches.
There was a conflict with the other cuisines that were not mentioned.
For example, the “indifferent to life” Little Chef of Xiang cuisine was a fan of Yuan Zhou. Although Yuan Zhou had not mastered the cooking of Xiang cuisine yet, there were similarities between Sichuan cuisine and Xiang cuisine. Therefore, the admiration of the “indifferent to life” to Yuan Zhou was as great as the surging River.
Looking at life indifferently,”what about Hunan cuisine?” Where’s Hunan cuisine? why isn’t there any great Hunan cuisine? the chef of Hunan cuisine said that I also want to be an apprentice!”
Buttered bread: “I don’t have any e or Beijing cuisines either. I’m teary-eyed and only good at e and Beijing cuisines. I’m lucky to have seen head chef Yuan’s cooking skills when I was dissecting cows in danding. I really want to be his disciple.”
Miss Lu’s kappei: “Fujian cuisine is also one of the eight major cuisines. Don’t they have any reputation?”
Jonas Cai: “Chu cuisine reporting. I didn’t see any Chu cuisine either.”
The chefs of Zhejiang cuisine, Anhui cuisine, gan cuisine, Ji cuisine, Yu cuisine, benbang cuisine, Ji cuisine, long cuisine, Liao cuisine, Longjiang cuisine, Qing cuisine, ning cuisine, Mongolia cuisine, Jiang cuisine, and so on had all appeared. At this moment, the diversity of Chinese cuisines was displayed in front of the melon-eating crowd like the gods had descended.
Just like what the netizen ‘Yuan Yuan’ had left in his message: “Well, I originally thought that as an old glutton, I had already eaten all the dishes in most of the domestic regions … But when I opened the Weibo of boss Yuan accepting a disciple today and saw this news, I feel that I can still eat for a few more years!”
With so many comments, even the chef’s Association couldn’t help but feel excited. Zhou Shijie then gave Yuan Zhou a call.
Even Yuan Zhou came out and explained,”if the level of other cuisines meets the requirements, they will also recruit in-name disciples of other cuisines.”
Only then did the chefs of other cuisines on the internet calm down a little. Of course, the netizens were still discussing it.
As usual, Yuan Zhou got up, washed his face and rinsed his mouth, jogged and ate at the restaurant. After that, he returned to his restaurant to prepare breakfast.
The friends in line were also discussing in low voices.
“Did you discover this long ago?” Wang Hong asked Zhou Xi in a mysterious manner.
“I found it yesterday.” Zhou Xi puffed up his chest and was very proud.
“I told you yesterday. I found out the day before yesterday.” Wu Hai was still leaning against the door, but it didn’t stop him from interrupting.
“Yes, yes, yes. Eaves Wu is really sensitive to food.” Zhou Xi had witnessed Wu Hai’s ability twice yesterday and thus believed in it without a doubt.
“Yes.” Wu Hai nodded his head and then withdrew his gaze.
“I only came to this conclusion after two days of observation, but the crow beast actually knew about it two days ago. It’s as terrifying as a beast.” Wang Hong sighed in admiration.
“I don’t know what happened.”
“I’ll just ask boss Yuan directly later. ” Mengmeng also rushed over after receiving the news.
A few of them were the founding members of the master chef Restaurant. They had been busy recently, but after receiving news from Wang Hong in the group, they made time to rush over.
In fact, the cause of the matter was very simple. Ever since Yuan Zhou started to eat breakfast in the provisional noodle restaurant, the breakfast served in master chef Restaurant had returned to the actual amount of 100 servings. Yuan Zhou didn’t eat any of them.
The first to discover this was Zhong Xiaoxiao and the Black Beast, Zhong Xiaoxiao, who even Yanji had to eat.
This was the second time she came to Chengdu for a meal, so she deliberately chose the early morning flight. When she arrived in Chengdu, it was exactly 6:00 A. M. On time. She took a taxi to Taoxi road, but there was a slight traffic jam on the way.
It was getting late by the time they arrived at Taoxi road, but Zhong Xiaoxiao still wanted to give it a try. Then, she got No. 100 by luck.
That day, Zhong Xiaoxiao happened to bump into Wang Hong. They had met once before and had only exchanged a few words, so they could still be considered to have a conversation.
When she got to know Zhong Xiaoxiao’s breakfast number 100, she didn’t know the specific reason. But as a regular customer, Wang Hong was very clear about how many servings there were for breakfast. If boss Yuan had a good appetite, he would only get 98 servings for two servings. If he didn’t have a good appetite, he would get 99 servings for one serving.
After two days of observation, Wang Hong came to a conclusion. The breakfast served by master chef Restaurant was always 100 servings, no more and no less. This proved that Yuan Zhou didn’t eat it. So what happened to boss Yuan?
Was it the distortion of morality or the loss of human nature?
Wang Hong observed for a long time and didn’t discover anything else. Therefore, he went into the group to seek help, which led to this morning’s scene.
However, Meng Meng’s suggestion was quite practical. Therefore, after breakfast, they didn’t leave. They waited until the breakfast time was over before man man asked on behalf of them.
“Recently, boss Yuan always serves 100 servings of breakfast. Did you not eat breakfast?” Man man was still a little worried that Yuan Zhou was not feeling well.
“I’ve eaten. It’s in the noodle restaurant across the street,” Yuan Zhou answered honestly.
They got an unexpected answer. Yuan Zhou didn’t even eat his own breakfast and went to the noodle restaurant instead. How delicious must it be?
Wang Hong had an idea.
