2353 Lion City Exchange meet
The two-month-long chef’s exchange in Los Leones began the day after opello returned to Singapore.
The event was held in the Central District of the south coast. The central business district was on the other side of the coral Road. It was basically the cultural and economic center of Singapore, and the famous fountain fishtail Lion was located there.
As usual, the Los Leones exchange meet also invited people from Malaysia and India. It was not known whether it was because of close Economic Cooperation or because there were too many similarities in food culture.
“Are you serious, head chef opello? Will head chef Yuan’s teaching video be played at this exchange meeting or will he be the one stirring up trouble?” A short, thin old man chased opello and kept asking in a casual tone. Not to mention that opello was once the closest to being Asia’s number one, just his status as a Singapore national treasure chef was not to be disrespected. So, from this, one could judge that this person’s status was not low.
“That’s enough, abushe. I’m sure the first time, and I’m sure again the second time. But it’s annoying to ask from yesterday until now.”
Opello added,”it’s just that I didn’t show it to you in advance. Do you have to be so anxious? don’t worry. You’ll see it at the exchange today.”
He couldn’t remember at all how he had made a phone call to show off that he had Yuan Zhou’s cooking videos when he was still in China. Moreover, the videos were specially made for Singapore chefs.
The person he was showing off to was naturally the skinny old man, abushe. If opello was a national treasure chef in Singapore, then abushe was the number one chef in Malaysia, two years older than opello.
It should be known that opello had worked as a chef for the latter for two years while abushe had become famous even earlier. Decades ago, he was a famous genius chef in Asia. However, opello had accumulated a lot of experience and made great progress. Even though he was now below Yuan Zhou, his status in the cooking circle in Asia was still higher than abushe.
The social gathering in Los Leones was held once a year, so abushe had not planned to come in person this year. He had planned to let his apprentice lead the team, but he changed his mind after receiving opello’s good news call.
Yuan Zhou’s name had been well-known in the past two years. First, the establishment of the China famous chef Alliance had officially made Yuan Zhou famous in the cooking circle of Asia. Then, there was the competition with opello for the first place. The competition was spread within a small range, but as a top small group, abushe was very clear about it.
Not long ago, in the France boguus cooking competition, a Chinese man had won the two highest honors in history. The most important thing was that he knew that one of the judges was Juman li, who only placed French food above all else. That was really amazing!
Abu was also a chef ju Manli had once despised. Ju Manli had directly said that the India and Malaysian dishes were “the primitive cuisines left behind by the colonized.” To be honest, Abu was no match for ju Manli, otherwise …
Only after having a deep experience did he know how difficult it was for ju man Li to be conquered by Yuan Zhou. Thus, abushe really wanted to meet Yuan Zhou and see if he could also get ju man Li’s approval.
If a cuisine wanted to gain the approval of a foreigner, it would already lose, but this was something that abushe had worked hard for several years.
There had been a lot of work in the Prime Minister’s Office some time ago, and abushe really couldn’t leave. Sometimes, time was not like a sponge. No matter how much you squeezed, you couldn’t squeeze it out even if you didn’t have stock.
“Heh, I wonder who was showing off yesterday. If you can’t take it out now, maybe you don’t have it at all.” Abushe retorted.
He had arrived in Singapore yesterday, just in time for opello to return from China. Then, the two of them had met. Unfortunately, Abu had not seen any videos or anything, which was a little uncomfortable.
It was fine if she didn’t know, but now that she knew, she didn’t want to show it. It simply didn’t feel good.
Although he knew opello was doing it on purpose, this was something he cared about, and he had no choice but to jump into the pit.
“Just wait and see.” Opello said with confidence.
At this time, the two of them had already reached the door of the conference room. Although there was a group of people behind them, they were all their own disciples. They already knew their master’s temperament, so they were far away, afraid of being hit by cannon fodder.
“You guys really saw head chef Yuan alive this time?” Abushe’s first disciple, Xu Tian, asked.
“Yes, I have. Head chef Yuan is really an amazing chef. His cooking is excellent.” Tang Lei said with a respectful face.
He had already become Yuan Zhou’s fan when he visited China with the Prime Minister previously. This time, he had thoroughly witnessed Yuan Zhou’s capability and had no choice but to admire him.
“Then you’re really lucky. It’ll be great if you can meet him.” Xu Tian asked curiously.
Speaking of Yuan Zhou’s relationship, the people of the two sides didn’t care about the competition between the Masters. They exchanged information with each other and got along quite well for a while.
In fact, it was mainly Tang Lei and the others who explained while Xu Tian and the others listened.
Opello and abushe saw Shama with a few people as soon as they entered the door. That’s right, the India side had sent people to participate in the exchange meeting, and the leader was Shama. Of course, opello had no intention of showing off in India at all. It was enough to have abushe, the annoying one. If another one came, he would not be able to stand it.
“Head chef opello, head chef abushe, long time no see. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” “Hello, boss!” Xia MA greeted.
Xia Ma’s status was lower than the two of them, so she was considered a junior. It was normal for her to take the initiative to greet them.
“Good day, head chef Xia MA.” Opello and abushe stopped arguing and nodded in agreement.
With this interruption, the three of them walked to the front of the rostrum and sat down. The people behind them were all chefs and they were all outstanding people from various places. They hadn’t started to be selected through the video yet, but opello felt that even those who were qualified to watch Yuan Zhou’s videos needed to be carefully selected.
The number of chefs participating in the exchange meeting was a lot less than in previous years, especially the chefs Singapore, which was the home ground. The main reason was that opello did not tell others about the video.
When it was almost time, Tang le came to inform opello that everyone was present. He stood up and planned to host the meeting.
This meeting was hosted by opello personally. Therefore, Yuan Zhou’s video naturally had to be taken seriously.
“Welcome to this chef’s exchange meeting in Los Leones. Before the meeting begins, I would like to invite everyone to watch a video. This is the main content of this meeting. This video was personally shot by the peak of Asia, Yuan Yafeng. It is very meaningful for everyone to learn from. I hope everyone will watch it carefully.” Opello went straight to the point as soon as he spoke.
He didn’t change the subject like he did to whet abushe’s appetite.
However, as soon as opello’s voice fell, the originally quiet venue immediately burst into an uproar.
“Did you hear what the head chef just said?”
“Of course I heard it. The head chef said Yuan Yafeng. My hearing is 5.0, so I’m sure there’s no problem.”
“Are you the proud head chef Yuan of us Asians?”
“I didn’t come to the exchange meeting in vain. I’ve profited!”
Everyone was very excited. They had naturally heard of Yuan Zhou’s name before. Anyway, no matter who they heard of, they were all very powerful. Now that they could experience his power up close, they were naturally full of joy.
In Singapore, opello was the only person who could be directly called a head chef. The others had to have their surnames added to show respect to opello.
