2573 Kosen's dilemma
Xiang Yang and Wu kun did not know about this. When they heard that they could buy clothes first, their legs and bodies stopped shaking immediately. They took the lead and walked towards the shuttle bus. They planned to hurry to the airport lobby to buy thick clothes.
In his heart, he was still praising President Zhan for being so reliable this time. He was generous and considerate. He definitely had to learn from head chef Yuan. After all, Yuan Zhou was well-known in the culinary world for being strict and abiding by the rules. It was not unbelievable that Zhan Changfa wanted to get closer to Yuan Zhou. Many other presidents of cuisines associations had done the same.
It was no wonder that Xiang Yang and the others thought so. In order to get to Chengdu as soon as possible, Zhan Changfa had managed to grab a first-class seat. They were influenced by the beautiful air stewardess’s kind service and were a little smug.
In fact, it was only because there were only seats available in the first-class cabin. It was a wonderful misunderstanding.
Zhan Changfa didn’t know where Xiang Yang’s thoughts had gone to. He was thinking about a very important problem.
When would he go to visit Yuan Zhou?
By right, he should have gone to visit them as soon as he got off the plane. This way, he could show his respect. However, when he saw the small suitcase in his hand and the small bags that Xiang Yang and the others were carrying behind him, he felt that he might not be showing respect by going there like this. Instead, he might be making things worse.
“It would be great if little Wang was here. We could ask him to bring the food to the hotel. Then, we would be able to visit head chef Yuan immediately.” Zhan Changfa suddenly exclaimed.
Meanwhile, little Wang, who was suddenly cued, was informing the Vice President, Qu Yun, that they had already booked a late-night flight to Rong city. He had no idea that his President happened to need him and was regretting not bringing him along.
Although he was in a dilemma, Zhan Changfa still decided to go to the hotel and settle down first before going to Taoxi road in order to visit Yuan Zhou better. In this way, he should be able to make it in time for dinner and have a good meal first before arranging a specific time to visit Yuan Zhou. Perfect.
On this side, Zhan Changfa had finally made up his mind. On the other side, Kosen was in a dilemma, unable to make a decision.
“I know what you’re saying, but I don’t think my master took this matter to heart. If you take so many people with you, Won’t You Be causing trouble for my master?”
Kosen looked at the red-faced man in his forties, then at the dozen or so people waiting outside the glass door. He was a little speechless.
Master’s shop was only so big. If a dozen people rushed in at the same time, the shop would explode.
“But I just want to thank head chef Yuan for his generosity. They all want to thank him too. They even prepared a lot of mountain products. It’s all a token of their appreciation.” The red-faced man, who was Lin Sheng, said awkwardly.
They obviously knew that this matter wasn’t very appropriate, but it seemed like they had no other way to express their gratitude.
On the other hand, Kosen was having a headache. This was the third time Lin Sheng had brought people to stop him. They said that things couldn’t be done more than three times, but in this situation, he couldn’t even get angry.
Lin Sheng and the others did not say that they wanted to go directly. Instead, they wanted him to lead them there. They were very polite and tried to discuss it with him. Although a large group of people blocked him, they still sent a representative to discuss it with him. They were quite civilized.
However, no matter how much Kosen thought about it, he felt that it was not reliable. The main reason was that there were too many people. Everyone wanted to see their benefactor with their own eyes. No one wanted to be left behind. They would rather do less business and earn less money than to go. Their intentions were very sincere. However, Kosen was even balder.
Lin Sheng did not know about Kohen’s dilemma. He only felt that this time, he was going to thank him. He could not just barge in like before, which was really impolite. Now, he had to go through the proper procedures and find someone to introduce him. No one was more suitable than the disciple of his benefactor.
Kosen looked at Lin Sheng, who had a determined expression on his face. He thought for a while and said,”Why don’t I ask my master first?”
“No, if you ask, head chef Yuan will definitely say that he didn’t do anything and that there’s no need to thank him. By then, we really won’t be able to go. Don’t worry, we’ll wait outside. Head chef Yuan will only enter if he wants to see us. If he doesn’t want to see us, we’ll have to give him the gift.” Lin Sheng refused directly.
To be honest, this was all based on his experience. He had listened to the opinions of his predecessor, Master Li, and summed up this idea. In order to realize this gratitude, Lin Sheng had also put in a lot of effort.
Kosen was speechless.
I feel like I’m not far from being expelled from the sect. You’re not making things difficult for my master, but you’re making things difficult for me.
Looking at the men and women who were eagerly looking in from outside, he really couldn’t bear to reject them. Besides, it wasn’t a bad thing.
“How about this? we can’t all go. Even the six representatives you’ve selected from within will go.” Finally, Kosen gritted his teeth. When he saw that Lin Sheng was about to speak, he immediately added,”This is my bottom line. If not, you guys can go on your own.”
Actually, if it wasn’t for the fact that his master had helped them before and that they sincerely wanted to thank him, Kosen wouldn’t have wanted to accept such a hot potato.
“I really made a bad friend by mistake.” This was the 108th time that Kosen regretted befriending Lin Sheng.
“Then wait for a while. We need to discuss this matter. Ten minutes will be enough.” Lin Sheng said after some thought.
Then, he went out and gathered with a group of people to discuss. Kosen did not care about this matter. He was thinking if he should give his senior brother a call to ask and ask for his senior brother’s advice to minimize the losses. Otherwise, he would always feel uneasy.
Yuan Zhou didn’t know what was going on at Kosen’s side. As there were many dishes that needed to be prepared in advance, Yuan Zhou started to get busy in the kitchen after reading the ancient books for more than two hours.
Many of the dishes in Fujian cuisine were related to seafood, so there was indeed a lot of seafood that needed to be prepared in advance. He bathed the lobsters, massaged the fish, and then rinsed the tentacles of the octopuses. He was very busy.
Ever since the anniversary gift bag received the book “a summary of seafood processing methods”, Yuan Zhou had gradually understood the various methods of processing seafood. Now, he was definitely very familiar with handling seafood, even more so than the Veterans who had been immersed in this dish for decades.
For example, when the crabs and lobsters that were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws were in Yuan Zhou’s hands, they immediately became very obedient like monkey sun who had been put on the Golden hoop incantation with just a slight touch of his fingers.
As he was experienced and skillful, the time needed to process the seafood was greatly shortened and he had more time to process the other ingredients. Yuan Zhou made arrangements for every minute in an orderly manner. Of course, this was also due to his skillful skills.
“Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling”
The sounds continued to ring out in a harmonious and lively manner, as if it was a symphony of life, filled with the atmosphere of the city.
Su Ruoyan had also arrived at the store early. This was an old habit of hers when she served the new dishes. After all, there were too many customers. The earlier she arrived, the more she might be able to help out. It could not be helped. With a very Buddhist boss, she could only have her employees be more diligent.
