1882 Great news!
He reported the battle situation of each province and city. In Guizhou Province, Kosen and Lu Wei had to go through five trials and tribulations before they could be considered to have obtained the two in-name disciple slots of Guizhou cuisine.
The metal pot that was hanging above Kosen’s head finally fell. Furthermore, Kosen had an idea to go home and hide all the metal pots.
As for Lu Wei, how should he put it? in the circle of Guizhou cuisine, there were two publicly acknowledged successors. However, why had Lu Wei always been in hiding? was he keeping a low profile? It wasn ‘t!
Let’s take a look. The first time Lu Wei came to visit Yuan Zhou together with Kosen, he had to go to the hospital for diarrhea.
For the second time, Lu Wei prepared to visit Yuan Zhou alone. He had to stay in the hospital due to the diarrhea.
For the third time, Lu Wei, a butcher from all over the country, was ready to come and relieve himself. He had diarrhea and was hospitalized.
The fourth time was the Asian Young Chef Competition. Lu Wei had signed up for it and passed the audition. However, when he was about to rush to Chengdu for the next round, he had diarrhea and was hospitalized. In the end, he was disqualified because he didn’t arrive on time.
This was what it meant to be poisonous!
Guizhou cuisine was lively, but Yunnan cuisine was no different. Li Youcai and Zeng Youwei had originally planned to deal with all the matters in the restaurant after returning to Yunnan Province. Then, they would come to Chengdu to pick up the Scriptures from their predecessor, master Cheng, and planned to follow master Cheng’s path and become Yuan Zhou’s disciple.
However, they couldn’t stop their good luck. Before they finished their business, they received the news that Yuan Zhou was going to take in a disciple of Yunnan cuisine in name. The two of them were overjoyed and thus began to lie low.
In the end, they did not expect the two of them to participate in the competition held in Dian cuisine. In the end, they secured the spots with an absolute advantage.
Wang Mingjie’s path was probably a copy of Kosen ‘S. He also had a very impressive father and was also the leader of a cuisine. Their paths were similar, and he won the competition easily. It was worth mentioning that the other was a genius female chef.
In fact, among all the cuisines, the one that was in the most dilemma was Sichuan cuisine. The current chairman of the Sichuan cuisine Association was Cheng zhaomei, the direct disciple of Yuan Zhou, the newly-appointed King of Sichuan cuisine.
The two in-name disciples of Sichuan cuisine were particularly important. In a place where inheritance and seniority were valued, it was easy to imagine how advantageous it was to have a senior brother from the direct line.
For example, the several restaurants that had competed with Yuan Zhou for the honor of the first year exemplary restaurant of Sichuan cuisine, head chef Cao of Shu restaurant, head chef of Zhi Yuan mansion, and the head chef of the restaurant that had almost fought with Wu Zhou over the roast goose, were all trying their best to get the quota of registered disciples of Sichuan cuisine.
In fact, even Li Li of the Western restaurant was also tempted. However, the conditions didn’t allow him to do so. He was really good at Western food. The foreign cuisines were exclusive to foreign chefs. It directly blocked Li Li’s path. What could he do? he was also very desperate!
However, Li Li also had a natural advantage, which was that he was very close to master chef Restaurant. It was also very good for him to drink the soup from behind.
On the way to the packaging factory, Yuan Zhou suddenly heard the familiar bell ring.
At the sight of the caller ID, Yuan Zhou subconsciously straightened his posture and immediately picked up the phone. It was Mr. MA.
“Mr. MA, what’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou asked.
Ever since Yuan Zhou went to find Mr. MA to join the China famous chefs ‘Association last time, he hadn’t had the chance to communicate with him again. However, for Yuan Zhou, Mr. Ma’s status was still unshakeable.
“Can’t I look for you if there’s nothing?” Mr. Ma’s tone was still as aggressive as before. Even the good mountains, water, and weather of Chengdu City couldn’t soften his temper.
“Of course you can, just tell me.” Yuan Zhou was quite used to Mr. Ma’s temper. Most of the time, Mr. MA clearly meant well, but when he said it, it sounded like he was scolding him.
Taoist MA went straight to the point.”It’s almost the new year, so there are a lot of things to do. The day after tomorrow, there will be a saber sealing feast organized by old man yang. I recommended you to go with me. You can come with me at that time.”
The knife-sealing banquet was almost a consummate skill in the modern era. It was the last dish cooked by famous chefs in ancient times.
Unlike Zhang Yan and Wang Huai, who had retired, Feng Dao and Zhang Yan were still studying cooking. They just didn’t take up the positions of Chairman or head chef.
As for the saber-sealing banquet, he would no longer touch any sabers. Even his own food had to be prepared by others.
“Old Yang’s family used to be Royal chefs as well. In the past, our four families were also called the four great Royal Chef families, while his family was the head of the four great Royal chefs. Of course, that was in the past. Now, old Yang’s cooking skills are not as good as mine.” Mr. MA introduced.
Yuan Zhou’s eyes lit up. Such a knife sealing feast was quite rare.
“No problem. Do you need me to book a flight ticket or a hotel?” Yuan Zhou respected Mr. MA like an elder.
“No need. Just send me your identity information. I’ll get someone to make the order. It’s too troublesome.” Mr. MA knew that Yuan Zhou was busy. How could he waste Yuan Zhou’s time on such a trivial matter? therefore, he directly asked for Yuan Zhou’s help.
Mr. MA was the representative of the new generation of people who spoke with a straight tongue.
“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou agreed.
He knew Mr. Ma’s temper.
Yuan Zhou quickly sent the relevant information to Mr. MA in the car. Then, his thoughts turned to the knife sealing feast that Mr. MA had mentioned.
“Head chef Yang’s name is really well-known. I didn’t expect to have the chance to meet you this time.” Yuan Zhou said in a low voice with a little excitement in his eyes.
When he went to Mr. MA a long time ago, he had checked the royal chef families. Because of the war and the change of time, only four Royal Chef inheritances were preserved. They might not be well-known in the public circle, but they were quite well-known in the circle of chefs.
However, with Mr. Ma’s recommendation, Yuan Zhou was looking forward to this banquet very much. He knew without a doubt that the participants were all top chefs and he would definitely benefit a lot from it.
Such good news made Yuan Zhou very happy. He went to the Tianyou packaging factory and directly settled the matter of the new year goods paper boxes. After he agreed on the time of delivery, he rushed back to the restaurant.
It didn’t take long, but it was almost time to prepare lunch. After sorting out the supply time and method of new year goods, they began to prepare lunch.
However, before that, Yuan Zhou first gave su Ruoyan the paper with the sales method, time and quantity of the new year goods written on it and asked her to inform them in advance in each group.
Naturally, su Ruoyan’s notice made all the foodies drool. They were very much looking forward to Yuan Zhou’s New Year’s goods.
The lively lunch time naturally passed very quickly. However, today was not an idle day. Just as Yuan Zhou was about to prepare for the sculpting, his phone rang.
“Little Yuan, there’s something I want to ask you,” Zhou Shijie’s voice sounded a little hesitant, which was a rare sight.
“Uncle Zhou, if there’s anything you need, just tell me.” Yuan Zhou said quite firmly.
“Ahem … Actually, it’s nothing. I just wanted to ask you, did Mr. MA invite you to a party?” Zhou Shijie gave a dry cough and said.
“Yes, it’s held by head chef yang. Uncle Zhou, are you going too?” Yuan Zhou soon realized what Zhou Shijie was asking.
“Be more careful when you go. Tell uncle Zhou more about the banquet when you come back. We’ll talk about it when you’re back.” Zhou Shijie sounded a little embarrassed. After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.
“Even Uncle Zhou can’t go? it seems like I need to make more preparations.” Yuan Zhou realized that this banquet wasn’t ordinary.
Otherwise, Zhou Shijie wouldn’t have specially called to inform them.
In fact, Zhou Shijie was also very helpless. He really wanted to attend this banquet. It was the knife-sealing banquet of the royal chef’s successor. He would have fewer chances to attend it every time he saw it. However, he did not receive the invitation.
To be exact, Mr. MA was more than ten years older than Zhou Shijie. Therefore, it was not his turn to be Zhou Shijie’s disciple. He could only cry helplessly.
However, Zhou Shijie was very happy that Yuan Zhou was going to attend the banquet. He was happy for Yuan Zhou himself as his participation in the banquet was proof of his identity and status. Also, he could hear some of the contents of the knife-sealing banquet from Yuan Zhou.
