2526 Gaining knowledge
“Congratulations to the host for activating the master Mission 5. Would you like to accept the mission now?” The system displayed the words without any delay.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, was quite calm. After all, such moments were too common. The system probably had to make its presence known at such moments every time. As the host, Yuan Zhou was quite helpless.
He tossed the system aside and explained the process of making blood sausages to Alessandro. He tried his best to make it simple and easy to understand. He hoped that this famous Godfather of Italy sausages would have a rough impression of Chinese sausage culture.
Yesterday, Yuan Zhou had checked some information about Alessandro and found out that this guy was really awesome. At least, in the field of sausages, no one could beat him. In Yuan Zhou’s opinion, he must have never touched Chinese sausages before, as many of his techniques were relatively closed.
Although Alessandro didn’t do much research on Chinese sausages, his research on them was really in-depth. Even though he couldn’t keep up with the pace at the beginning because he was unfamiliar with them, he could slowly share his thoughts. The two of them chatted even more enthusiastically.
While the two of them were having a lively chat, Li Li and Barry were having a hard time.
Originally, Li Li wanted to absorb more knowledge. As the head chef of Western cuisine, sausages played an important role. But whenever he did, he would doubt his Chinese language skills. Had he returned it to his teacher after graduation many years ago? Yuan Zhou and the others were speaking in English, but he could understand every word and even translate it into Chinese. In the end, they just couldn’t understand it. This made him very depressed.
“Fortunately, I’ve learned something.” Li Li consoled himself inwardly.
In fact, although Li Li was nothing in front of Yuan Zhou, his culinary skills were really not low, especially when Yuan Zhou had several exchanges with the top foreign chefs in the Western restaurant. Li Li did odd jobs at the side and also learned some things. His skills had improved at a rapid pace. Any regular customer of the Western restaurant would know that head chef Li’s skills would improve a little after a period of time.
As for the frequency of improvement, it was naturally related to the frequency of Yuan Zhou coming here to communicate with the chefs. Of course, no one had discovered this subtle relationship yet. Li Li had also kept it a secret. He would rather give Yuan Zhou a longevity token of thanks than to thank him openly. All of this was for the sake of preserving his core competitiveness. It should be known that this learning opportunity was absolutely the dream of most chefs.
A thousand cups of wine when meeting a bosom friend, half a sentence when meeting a disagreeable person. Alessandro felt like he had never been so talkative in his 60 years of life.
The more they talked, the more Alessandro realized that he was just a frog in a well. In fact, there was still a lot to learn from him. Alessandro felt that he could do more research and try to bring more and better sausages to the Italy people.
As time went by, Alessandro’s admiration for Yuan Zhou grew more and more. Of course, he also became more and more interested in the Chinese food culture. There were so many things about sausages, not to mention other dishes. He felt that he had missed out on a hundred million Yuan in the past.
Alessandro didn’t look down on Chinese food culture in the past because he thought that the food was made of industrial ingredients such as MSG, which would definitely cause bad people to eat it. However, he also didn’t like Chinese food. He didn’t understand it, so he didn’t slander it. Ignoring it was the best attitude.
Alessandro now felt that he had been too narrow-minded in the past. He didn’t even understand such a huge food culture system with a long history. It was a waste of God’s gift.
A ring interrupted Alessandro’s unfinished words. It was Yuan Zhou’s phone that rang. It was the alarm clock that he had specially set to remind Alessandro to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Alessandro. Today’s exchange can only end here. I still have to open for business in a moment. Thank you, Mr. Alessandro, for coming to China from Italy. I have learned a lot about Italian sausage culture today. Thank you very much. ” Yuan Zhou said courteously.
In fact, the two of them had almost finished their conversation in the first 10 minutes. However, Alessandro kept pulling Yuan Zhou to learn more about Chinese food culture. Of course, most of it was related to sausages, such as what kind of dishes could be made with sausages, the variety of sausages, and which one was the most delicious.
Alessandro was regretful, but he couldn’t delay the other party’s business. Besides, he had already benefited a lot today.
“I should be the one thanking you, head chef Yuan. It was you who opened the door to a new world for me. I didn’t know that there was such a colorful and brilliant food culture. I’m really lucky.” Alessandro’s face was filled with excitement.
It was getting late. The two of them chatted for a while and then went their separate ways. Yuan Zhou went back to the restaurant to wash up, change his clothes and prepare the ingredients for dinner. As for Alessandro and Barry, after asking Li Li, they directly sat outside the restaurant and waited for the time to line up.
Previously, Yuan Zhou had mentioned that the delicacies made of several kinds of sausages were very alluring. Alessandro decided to try them carefully, because they were completely different from the blood sausage he had eaten today. For example, the sausage pot rice made people very envious.
As for Cheng zhaomei and the others who had been standing in front of the background quietly, after the two of them finished their work, they quickly bid farewell to Yuan Zhou and went back to the Cheng family’s restaurant. Judging from their quick departure, it seemed that they had gained something and needed to practice and consolidate it immediately.
As everyone left, the originally bustling Western restaurant instantly became quiet. Li Li, however, didn’t feel dejected. He hummed a song and started to clean up. Actually, both of them had good habits and the kitchen was still clean. However, Li Li had learned a bad habit from Yuan Zhou. Even if the kitchen looked clean, he still wanted to clean it himself. After he was done, he burned an incense stick for Yuan Zhou again to express his gratitude. Then, with the help of the sous-chefs and workers who came back one after another, he started to prepare dinner.
Alessandro and Andros moved quickly in the line with high expectations, and they managed to grab the first spot in the line. Of course, Alessandro didn’t know the advantages of the first line yet, but he was still very happy to be able to eat in the first place.
Even though he had high expectations, when the sausage pot rice served, Alessandro didn’t think so much, because no matter how much anticipation he had, it couldn’t compare to the breathtaking feeling of eating it.
An indescribable sweetness with the smell of time swept through his mouth, even his body and mind. Even the heat couldn’t stop Alessandro from accelerating.
“Burp”
By the time Alessandro walked out of the store with belli, it had already been 20 minutes since he had entered the store. He had eaten four dishes, including the sausage and pot rice. He couldn’t hold on any longer, so he walked out regretfully.
Even so, Barry still looked back at every step he took. It was obvious that he was very reluctant to leave.
