Chapter 1668: The rise of Chinese food culture

After thinking for quite a while, Yuan Zhou suddenly came back to his senses,Stupid, I can directly ask uncle Zhou and Mr. MA why are you thinking about all these things here.

After making the decision, Yuan Zhou prepared to go there to visit him directly tomorrow. Then, he gave Chu Xiao a call.

As the honorary chairman of the China chefs union branch, although he didnt have any real power, he still had a recommendation letter. Yuan Zhou had to know who he was going to give it to in case there was a duplicate.

France time was six hours slower than Chinese time, so it should be afternoon there and they should not be disturbed.

He made a phone call, but it only rang twice before it was picked up.

After Yuan Zhou explained his intention clearly, Chu Xiao expressed that he didnt have a specific candidate in mind. If Yuan Zhou had a candidate in mind, he could directly write a letter of recommendation.

This was Chu Xiaos trust in Yuan Zhous insight. Yuan Zhou accepted it and decided to think carefully about the fourth quota.

Before going to bed, he talked to Xiao Ya on the phone as usual. As soon as he answered the phone, he heard a mess on Yin yas end, which didnt seem to be at home.

After asking around, he found out that Yin ya went home after work to pack up. When she was preparing to go to bed, one of her young friends called her and said that she had been jilted and cheated on.

Now that Yin ya had just picked up her little sister, she was going to take her home and then order a lot of takeaway, such as garlic crawfish, iced crawfish, thirteen-spice crawfish, hot and sour crawfish, etc., To turn her little sisters grief and indignation into appet.i.te.

There was no sadness that five catties of crayfish couldnt solve. If there was, then another five catties!

Student Xiaoya, I have to criticize you. If you order takeaway from outside, tell me if theres anything delicious. If you want to eat crayfish, I can make anything. During the period when Yuan Zhou had been in love, he felt that his eloquence had improved greatly.

Im afraid that youll have a hard time. Its already tiring enough for you to run the restaurant by yourself every day,Yin ya said on the other side of the phone.

Its not hard to make delicious food for our Xiaoya. Yuan Zhou answered quickly.

The two of them chatted for a while on the phone. The young lady had just fallen out of love and Yuan Zhou didnt know her. It would be too embarra.s.sing if he went there. Therefore, Yuan Zhou didnt mention going there. He just asked Yin ya to tell him before going to bed.

Dont wait up for me. Ill probably go to bed at two or threeo clock. You still have to open early tomorrow, so rest early. Yin ya said.

After that, Yuan Zhou made a solemn vow that he wouldnt stay up late to wait for her. Only then did Yin ya hang up the phone.

How can you trust a mans mouth? After Yuan Zhou hung up the phone, he muttered to himself. He still had to wait for Yin ya, in case she needed him for something.

He stood up and tidied up his things near the cabinet. The customers were sending more and more things to him and Yuan Zhou had placed all the miscellaneous things well.

The small car in the small black box was a gift from Wu Zhou and his wife. It was said that the little darling caught the small car when he was catching the Zhou.

There were six sets of property owners.h.i.+p certificates in the small black box. Three of them were for the three storefronts on Taoxi road and the last one was the place where the zhama banquet was held. Wu Yungui had already given the property right to Yuan Zhou.

Apart from that, Wu Yungui had also given Yuan Zhou a villa as a gift due to the good influence of master chef Restaurant in the gourmet city. However, Yuan Zhou didnt accept it and bought it at the original price.

Only Yuan Zhou could do such a thing like affecting a city of delicacies with an area of less than 30 square meters.

The last one was the villa that he had just bought today. It was the kind of villa that one could move in with a bag. Yuan Zhou had only seen the picture and didnt have time to look at the house.

I remember Zheng Jiawei told me that Wu Hai has more than 20 properties in Chengdu alone. Yuan Zhou felt that he still had a long way to go.

According to Zheng Jiawei, the reason why Wu Hai owned so many houses in Chengdu was due to a rumor previously.

Last year, there was a rumor that Yuan Zhou was going to open a branch restaurant in Chengdu and that he would stay in each branch for a period of time.

After Wu Hai heard the news, he started to look for a Street similar to Taoxi road in Chengdu to buy a house.

Fortunately, Yuan Zhou came out to refute the rumor after he found out about it. Then, Wu Hai stopped his action of buying the house.

There were too many small streets like Taoxi road in Chengdu And from this, one could tell that this black beast was really rich.

After tidying up his property, Yuan Zhou took out several ancient books that he hadnt finished reading.

The books were all good books, but not all ancient books on cooking could bring Yuan Zhou a little improvement. Anyway, this ancient book that recorded the cooked Wheaten food didnt have any.

Not until 1:40 pm did Yin ya send him a good night message. Yuan Zhou replied immediately.

Xiaoya: [Didnt I tell you to sleep first and not wait for me?!]

[I just happened to see it when I got up to go to the toilet. Xiaoya, dont you think its a coincidence?] Yuan Zhou replied.

Xiao Ya: [sleep early. Blockhead, you wake up so early every day. I always feel that you dont get enough sleep!]

[No problem. Lets sleep together. Good night.] Yuan Zhou replied.

Only after Yin ya coaxed her little sister to sleep did Yuan Zhou go to bed with a peace of mind. It was all thanks to the system that Yuan Zhou was able to fall into a deep sleep quickly.

The next day.

After making up for the lost time, Yuan Zhou resumed the normal business hours for breakfast and lunch.

Although the rest time in the afternoon was long, it was impossible for him to visit Masheng, Zhou s.h.i.+jie, and w.a.n.g Huai completely. Moreover, Mr. MA and grandfather w.a.n.g were not in Chengdu yet. Therefore, Yuan Zhou came to the headquarters of the chefs a.s.sociation first.

Yuan Zhou had made an appointment on the phone before he came.

After all, Zhou s.h.i.+jie was the chairman of the chefs a.s.sociation and he was busy with so many things every day. He definitely had to make an appointment. Yuan Zhou had always done that.

Boss Yuan, long time no see, Zhong Lili came to pick Yuan Zhou up.

A long time? Wasnt Secretary Zhong there when we used the real perfume? Yuan Zhou said.

The Chatterbox teased Yuan Zhou while Zhong Lili silently led the way in front. Soon, they arrived at the chairmans office.

Little Yuan, youre here, Zhou s.h.i.+jie asked Yuan Zhou to take a seat.

Uncle Zhou, since the China chefs union branch has just been established, I, as the chairman, have three letters of recommendation. I would like to give one to you, Chairman. And with uncle Zhous ability and culinary skills, I would like to invite uncle Zhou to take up an important position in the club, said Yuan Zhou.

Theres a Vice-Chairperson and an Honorary Chairperson, so I came to ask for your opinion, uncle Zhou. Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly. In front of Zhou s.h.i.+jie, he didnt need to beat around the bush.

Thats good. Zhou s.h.i.+jie didnt answer at first. Instead, he stood up from his seat and said,Little Yuan, do you know that our chefs a.s.sociation has mentioned several times to the famous chefs a.s.sociations headquarters to list China as a separate branch in the Asian branch?

I dont know, Yuan Zhou shook his head.

Since I became the chairman of the chefs a.s.sociation, Ive been here seven times. Zhou s.h.i.+jie said,the reason for the rejection is very simple every time. The Chinese food culture is included in the Asian food culture. All the directors of the headquarters think that there is no need to list it out separately.

Theres no need to. Zhou s.h.i.+jie repeated and then smiled,We cant beat j.a.pan in this aspect.

The global famous chef Alliance was not an official organization, but it was a giant in the circle of chefs. This kind of organization was the most difficult to establish.

If one wanted something to be acknowledged by everyone, one could only follow the existing rules when one didnt have the absolute ability and had to reshuffle all the other chefs. Seven times didnt sound like a lot, but it was indeed hard to imagine how much effort Zhou s.h.i.+jie had put in for this. Moreover, Zhou s.h.i.+jie wasnt the first Chairman of the chefs a.s.sociation. There were other chairmen who had also put in the same effort.

Uncle Zhou, its already been listed. Yuan Zhou could sense the sadness in Zhou s.h.i.+jies tone, therefore he comforted him.

Thats right. Little Yuan, youve done a great thing for our Chinese cooking circle. Zhou s.h.i.+jie patted Yuan Zhous shoulder.

Yuan Zhou could feel that Zhou s.h.i.+jie was very happy.

Theres no need for the Vice Chairman. I cant even finish the business of my chefs a.s.sociation. Zhou s.h.i.+jie said,Ill just be the honorary chairman.

Alright, uncle Zhou. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Do you have any candidates for the other two recommendation letters? Zhou s.h.i.+jie asked with concern.

Im going to give it to grandfather w.a.n.g and Mr. MA,Yuan Zhou answered.

Elder w.a.n.g is indeed fine. Is Mr. MA the inheritor of the thousand years banquet, MA Sheng? Zhou s.h.i.+jie said.

Uncle Zhou, do you know Mr. MA? Yuan Zhou became a little curious.

The circle of chefs in China is only so big. There are only a few capable people. Of course, I know them. If its Mr. MA, its not a problem. But I dont think hes easy to invite. Zhou s.h.i.+jie said.

Ill find some time to pay them a visit. Uncle Zhou, do you have any list of recommendations? Yuan Zhou asked.

Zhou s.h.i.+jie mentioned two names, which Yuan Zhou was quite unfamiliar with.

These two old guys were very famous in our time. However, they have a weird temper, so they are not very famous now. Zhou s.h.i.+jie explained.

Thank you, uncle Zhou. Yuan Zhou expressed his grat.i.tude.

Zhou s.h.i.+jie still had a meeting in the afternoon. Therefore, Yuan Zhou left directly after he said that.

Looking at Yuan Zhous back, Zhou s.h.i.+jie couldnt help laughing,Serves him right. Chinas food culture is going to prosper. Its going to prosper. Hahaha.

Ever since he got to know Yuan Zhou and witnessed his potential, Zhou s.h.i.+jie had been cheris.h.i.+ng talents and had been protecting Yuan Zhou all along. Originally, the growth cycle of a chef was 20 years, while that of a genius chef was 10 or 5 years.

Of course, the term five years or ten years referred to one of the cuisines, not more.

However, Zhou s.h.i.+jie had never expected that Yuan Zhou would only spend less than four years to achieve his current achievements.

Not to mention anything else, Yuan Zhou was the most famous chef in the entire Asian cooking circle. It was only a matter of time before he rushed out of Asia.

Just like what Zhou s.h.i.+jie had said, the Chinese food culture deserved to Rise Up!

After that, Yuan Zhou returned to his restaurant. Dinnertime started again. With Wu Hai around, the atmosphere was always very good.

During dinner time, Wu Lin sent Yuan Zhou a gift. It was a piece of Jade. According to Wu Lin, she got it from a stone in the market after she went on a mission in Dian province.

Although the Jade wasnt very precious, it was still very lucky. Therefore, Wu Lin gave it to Yuan Zhou after she polished it, thanking him for taking care of Wu Hai.

Take care of Wu Hai Yuan Zhou thought for a while and felt that he could still accept this gift.

Everything was going well on Yuan Zhous side. Likewise, his other half, Yin ya, was also doing well on her side.

It was because Yin yas hard work had been rewarded. For example, the current Deputy Director of the Secretary Office had already started to take her with him to train her.

Needless to say, it basically meant that Yin ya would be promoted to the position of the Deputy room head at the end of the year.

Therefore, Yin ya also started to get familiar with the chief of the Secretary Office, Mo Yu. Although the name Mo Yu sounded a bit masculine, in fact, she was a beautiful, elegant and dignified middle-aged beauty.

The reason why she was called a beauty was because although Mo Yu was over 40 years old, he was not married yet, so he was still a middle-aged beauty.

As they were familiar with each other, Mo Yu finally knew that Yin yas boyfriend was Yuan Zhou. He also knew that Yuan Zhou could order five pitchers of beer for each person in the pub.

After knowing this, Mo Yu couldnt wait to call Yin ya to draw lots together and then prepared to drink.

Thats right. Mo Yu was a person who loved wine very much. As for why she had never gone to Yuan Zhous pub to drink even though she loved wine so much, the reason was very simple.

In Mo Yus words,the wine in boss Yuans restaurant is not even enough for me to drink a mouthful. No matter how good the wine is, its not even enough to quench my thirst, let alone whether I can enjoy it to my hearts content.

As a result, Mo Yu didnt think of going to Yuan Zhous pub for a drink. But now that she knew that she could order five pitchers of beer there, she naturally couldnt help it.

A pot of bamboo liquor and five pitchers of beer was enough to soothe his throat. Of course, this was what Mo Yu said.

Mr. Mo, even if you take me to compa.s.s, you wont be able to order more beer. Yin ya sighed helplessly.

You dont have to call me chief mo after work. You can just call me sister mo. Mo Yu corrected him sternly.

Yes, yes, yes, sister mo. Im telling the truth. That guy is really compa.s.s. He wont make an exception. Yin ya still revealed a sweet expression when she talked about Yuan Zhou, but she didnt forget to introduce Yuan Zhous nickname.

Your words dont work? Mo Yu said.

Um, yeah. Ive told you boss Yuan is a compa.s.s. No ones words are effective during business hours. Yin ya nodded her head earnestly.

You little girl, didnt you try to act coquettishly? Mo Yu teased.

Sister mo, Yin yas face turned red and she said with embarra.s.sment.

Okay, okay, okay, I got it. I brought my own wine, so I wont make things difficult for you. Sister mo raised the white wine box in her hand and said.

Thank you, sister mo. Yin ya said.

Youre welcome. I shouldnt have said that to you. Its good that you two are like this. Since you can understand and respect his rules, it means that your values are very compatible. Sister mo said with a smile.

This time, Yin ya really blushed, because it was the first time that someone had said so straightforwardly that her and Yuan Zhous three views were in line and that they were very well-matched.

Ill say this first, youll have the side dishes later, and Ill drink the wine. Sister mo warned before stepping into the store.

Dont worry, I wont s.n.a.t.c.h your wine. Yin ya nodded her head.

Yes, lets go. Mo Yu said.

Mo Yu walked in front in a navy blue suit skirt, revealing his long and fair legs. He had a mature charm as he walked, and he had a faint smile on his face, giving people a kind and amiable feeling.

Yin ya, on the other hand, was wearing a black hip-hugging dress and walking at the back. Her mid-heel high heels were making a melodious sound on the ground. Compared to the kind and faint smile on Mo Yus face, she was more serious. However, her pretty face also made her look very beautiful.

In short, two beautiful women, one big and one small, walked into Yuan Zhous restaurant.

As Mo Yu had made an appointment with Yin ya earlier, Yin ya naturally told Yuan Zhou in advance that she would be coming to the pub. Therefore, as soon as they entered the restaurant, they saw Yuan Zhou standing perfectly straight behind the curved long table.
