2249 Agreed
Many people would say that they did not forget their original intention, but it was too difficult to define it. When was the original intention?
Take the chef profession as an example. When he entered the profession, when he learned a few dishes, or when the head chef gave him advice and understood the truth.
It was hard to define, it all depended on one’s thoughts.
On the other hand, Yuan Zhou was publicly acknowledged as the Chinese chef King, both from the official point of view and from the common people’s point of view. However, Yuan Zhou’s respect for the senior chefs had not changed at all.
Yuan Zhou held Meng Guangping’s hands with both hands and said,””It’s a pleasure to meet you, President Meng. You’ve done a great job in cooking the fire-square silver fish and the golden fish playing with Lotus, especially the delicate and delicate Lotus seedpod. You can say that it’s an innovation of the current generation of nunnery dishes.”
“It’s all in the past. I’m not as sensitive as before. ” Meng Guangping replied.
“Guild leader Meng, you’re too humble.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Head chef DU’s dong ‘an chicken is also top-notch. Head chef ding’s Mandarin Duck cake is also pretty good, especially the new recipe. No one in the entire Xiang tan region is better than him.” Yuan Zhou turned to du Yundong and Ding Yang and greeted them.
Yuan Zhou’s way of praising others was different from ordinary compliments. Ordinary people might only praise with their mouths, but Yuan Zhou’s compliments were after he had understood the situation clearly.
“Hahaha, head chef Yuan, you’re too polite. Compared to head chef Yuan’s dong ‘an chicken, mine still needs to be improved. It gave me a lot of inspiration today.”
“It’s rare for head chef Yuan to know about it. However, after eating his Mandarin Duck cake today, I feel that I should adjust the ratio of sugar and salt in my ingredients.”
Du Yundong and Ding Yang’s faces were filled with bright smiles. Being praised by Yuan Yafeng was really a very honorable thing.
The three people from Hunan cuisine sighed in their hearts. It was really comfortable to get along with head chef Yuan.
The three of them talked about cooking skills while Yuan Zhou spoke freely.
Speaking of which, there was a small change that even Yuan Zhou himself didn’t notice. As his cooking skills improved, the time he needed to master a dish would also shorten accordingly. As a result, whenever he received a new dish, the time he needed to master it would also shorten accordingly.
The four of them were in the middle of a heated conversation. Little Yu, who was usually ignored, could only try his best to shrink and hug his thin body.
In fact, Yuan Zhou did see little Yu, but little Yu was really not a chef and he really didn’t know him. When he was about to greet him, he was hit by the questions of Meng Guangping and the other two. Once he was immersed in cooking, he basically forgot everything else.
When they came back to their senses, twenty minutes had passed. Meng Guangping and the others were embarrassed.
“I’m sorry for taking up your time, head chef Yuan. We have something to ask you. Do you have time?” Meng Guangping still remembered that he was the president and finally said the main purpose.
“It’s almost time for the pub to open. I need another half an hour before I’m free. If you have nothing to do, you can come in and have some tea. If you have something to do, we can meet another day.” Yuan Zhou turned his head and looked at the big clock in the restaurant and said.
It was indeed getting late. Mao Ye had already arrived, but when he saw the boss chatting with someone, he did not disturb him. Instead, he quietly went to the second floor of the tavern and began to clean up.
In fact, with the system around, the second floor was very clean. However, Mao Ye had already formed a habit of wiping the tables, chairs, benches, and the bar counter before he came.
Meng Guangping and the rest exchanged glances, “It’s okay, it’s okay. We’ve disturbed you. We’ll just wait.”
In order to realize the idea in his heart as soon as possible, he naturally didn’t mind waiting. Moreover, he might be able to communicate with Yuan Zhou again later, which was very attractive.
“Three head chefs, please come here and have a seat.” Yuan Zhou led Meng Guangping and the others to the stone table in the small courtyard and then went to make tea.
After the four people settled down, Yuan Zhou first went to wash up and change his clothes. Then, he went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes of the pub.
The customers who had been looking forward to the liquor in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for a long time had already put on a show of “Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical ability” in the morning.
After all, the liquor worm had revolted, and everyone wanted to drink, but whether they could drink it or not was not up to the person, but their character.
The person who drew the drinking quota in the morning was really the focus of everyone’s attention. Everyone wanted to get close to him, just so that he could bring him along.
There were no less than three people who came that night. Most of them brought four or five people because they were too embarrassed. It was also because there was actually quite a lot of wine in the tavern now. Otherwise, it would probably be the result of each person taking a sip.
“Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling”
Yuan Zhou prepared the dishes with liquor very quickly. With Mao Ye around, he didn’t have to worry about anything else. Therefore, he went to see Meng Guangping and the other three directly.
“Head chef Yuan’s tea is really amazing. I haven’t had such a delicious pre-dawn tea in many years. The taste is really not bad. It’s very authentic.” Meng Guangping carefully put down his cup.
Before Yuan Zhou arrived, they were discussing the fragrance of the tea in detail. Although tea wasn’t good in Hunan cuisine, they were more or less familiar with cooking skills.
As for little Yu, he was an emotionless tea-drinking machine.
“It’s just a little tea, it’s nothing. ” Yuan Zhou waved his hand and said.
When Meng Guangping and the others heard Yuan Zhou’s words, they didn’t hesitate too much. Instead, they pulled their attention back. Their success or failure depended on this one move.
“When head chef Yuan took in an in-name disciple previously, there wasn’t any Hunan cuisine. Now, the restaurant already has Hunan cuisine. We just wanted to ask if you still want to take in an in-name disciple of Hunan cuisine?” Meng Guangping and the other two looked at each other and then he spoke.
“That’s right. Actually, our Hunan cuisine also has some good seedlings. It’s a pity that we don’t have a huge … Mountain range in the cooking circle like head chef Yuan to teach us.” Du Yundong followed.
Seeing that the family had finished speaking, Ding Yang hurriedly nodded in agreement.
If Meng Guangping and the other two hadn’t mentioned it, Yuan Zhou might have really forgotten about it in a short time.
There had been a lot of things to do recently, and he hadn’t even received the Qin cuisine reward yet. After he came back, he had been busy opening the restaurant and hadn’t thought about these things.
Chairman Zhou was even busier. He was still in France hadn’t returned yet, so he naturally didn’t think about it.
“We will definitely take them in, and we will have to follow the rules and regulations of taking in in in-name disciples. Two places for each cuisine. Do you have any objections to this Hunan cuisine?” Yuan Zhou said.
“No. It’s a great opportunity to become head chef Yuan’s disciple. How can I be so picky?” Meng Guangping said honestly.
Given Yuan Zhou’s current status, Meng Guangping’s words were not exaggerated at all.
“I’ll have to trouble President Meng and the Hunan cuisine Association to be in charge of the selection of in-name disciples. You can just report the candidates to me.”
Yuan Zhou explained,”I’ve been too busy here recently. I really can’t go to Xiang province. It’s going to be the 5th anniversary of our restaurant soon. I haven’t prepared anything yet.”
“It’s fine. It’s only natural that head chef Yuan is busy. Besides, you definitely need your disciple to pay a visit to the master. Don’t worry, head chef Yuan. The Hunan cuisine Association will arrange this matter as soon as possible. We won’t waste your time.”
The three of them promised in unison.
