The others also looked at Yuan Zhou curiously when they heard what Auguste and the others said. Although they had never seen Yuan Zhou before, most of them had heard of his name. After all, the mission of making a name for himself in Europe and Asia wasn’t done for nothing.

“Head chef August, head chef ju man Li, head chef opello … Long time no see.”

After Yuan Zhou greeted everyone, he found that almost half of the people here were very familiar with him. Some of the other unfamiliar people were also related to him. For example, Sanada Yuichiro from Japan. He could be said to be the peak of the food and beverage industry in Japan.

He was 85 years old this year and had always been the kind of person who had been famous but had never met, both of them.

Originally, Yuan Zhou had intended to pay a visit to Sanada when he went to Japan. After all, Sanada was a senior in the culinary arts and his Japanese dishes were not so exquisite. Unfortunately, Sanada was not there at that time and thus, he could only miss the visit.

People liked to follow the crowd no matter where they were. Half of the people greeted Yuan Zhou enthusiastically, so the other half naturally greeted Yuan Zhou as well. Otherwise, they would just be unsociable.

Of course, it was only a greeting.

When ju man Li said it was a question, it was really a question and it was a high-end one. At least, only a few people present could answer it. However, Yuan Zhou’s explanation made everyone reveal a look of sudden realization. That was because what Yuan Zhou talked about was all simple and easy to understand. Almost anyone who had a little knowledge of cooking could understand it, let alone the big shots in the cooking world. Thus, there was no problem at all.

As almost all the cooking students could understand it, the half of them who were not very familiar with Yuan Zhou felt shocked. It was not that some of them could not answer this question. They had never thought that he could give such a concise and clear answer that could take care of everyone. It was not that they had never thought of it, but rather, they had never thought of it at all.

From this, one could not only see Yuan Zhou’s solid basic skills but also his heart for other people, no matter if they were chefs or diners.

With respect in their eyes, they also started to join the conversation. All of a sudden, Yuan Zhou seemed to have become the center of attention.

Time slowly passed, and the meeting officially began at 9:00 A. M. Opello was the host. This meeting was divided into two parts. The first two days were discussions with each other, similar to an academic seminar. The topics discussed were definitely cooking problems, and the questions raised by them were naturally not trivial. The venue represented the highest level of the world’s cooking industry. Besides thinking about their own questions, only the people present were qualified to verify them.

This was the original purpose of Akara’s meeting. The last day was a cooking competition, and of course, it could also be said to be a show of cooking skills of various countries.

The powerful countries were almost all one person per country, so when everyone gathered together, they naturally had to show off their own country’s food culture. They wanted everyone to see what it was like. There was an ancient Chinese saying,’you’ll know if you’re a mule or a horse after taking a walk’. This was roughly what it meant.

Before he came here, Yuan Zhou had already known about the process and had also made sufficient preparations. However, to be honest, there was nothing that Yuan Zhou couldn’t solve yet. Except for the main mission, which he wasn’t clear about, he definitely couldn’t discuss it.

However, he wasn’t sure. He felt that there were other explanations. For example, since fresh daylilies were poisonous, in addition to the sterilization effect after being dried under the sun, how could he use it to remove the poison of fresh daylilies and make people use fresh varieties of ham? or how could he use it to maximize its acidic characteristics?

These were all problems that had already been solved. What Yuan Zhou was looking for was a few more methods. He had prepared several sets of plans, all of which were methods that had already been tested and obtained experimental data. This time, he brought them to the meeting for discussion. Rather than saying that it was a discussion, it was more like a clear path. He wanted to promote the methods and let more people know.

After Yuan Zhou’s research, he found that these methods were more convenient and suitable for daily life.

It was not hard to imagine how surprised all the experts present were when Yuan Zhou brought out the question. After all, they were all gathered here to discuss the difficult problems. They had never thought of determining the processing methods of some ingredients through this meeting and promoting them to benefit thousands of families. Food was the most important thing to the people.

“Yuan, as expected of a head chef who can join us at such a young age. Not only is your cooking talent and strength superior to most people, but your thoughts and plans are also different. I’ll still need you to pay more attention to your future.”

Mr. Badhan, who was 80 years old and was the chairman of Akara’s Conference Organizing Committee at that time, was very optimistic about Yuan Zhou and had the intention of treating him as his successor.

There was no such thing as retirement in this organization. After all, the older they were, the more experience they had. Compared to cooking, they were better at everything except hands-on skills. The most valuable thing was the experience in their minds.

There were a lot of people who disagreed with Badhan’s idea, but they were all graceful people. In addition, Yuan Zhou was indeed young and had unlimited potential. Those who could sit here all hoped that the cooking industry would get better and better. Even if it wasn’t their own country, they were still human beings.

Most of the people who disagreed wanted to open Yuan Zhou’s eyes on the last day and let him see the strength of these old guys so that he wouldn’t be arrogant or impatient and move forward bravely. Some things were still too early.

Of course, August and the others, who were very familiar with Yuan Zhou, were definitely not among them. No one knew Yuan Zhou’s strength better than them.

In the past two days, some of the questions raised by everyone were easy and some were difficult. Some of them walked into a dead end and couldn’t be pulled back no matter how hard they tried. However, after sitting together and discussing it, the questions were basically answered.

As a matter of fact, Akara’s meeting was similar to the famous chef High Valley meeting held by Yuan Zhou. At least, the first half of the meeting was similar. One was of a lower quality while the other was of a higher quality.

“It seems like we have to stick to the GAO Gou conference as usual in the future. However, some rules can be changed with reference to this meeting.” Yuan Zhou paid more attention to the Gaogou gang in his heart.

Many years later, when Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills were fully deserving of being the world’s best and there was no dispute about it, the GAO Gou club, a famous Chinese chef, would suddenly rise and become a place of pilgrimage for chefs in the world, which was on par with Akara’s meeting. Many people would be proud to be able to attend the meeting.

As of now, Yuan Zhou only had a rough outline of the reform of this meeting. He needed to go back and discuss it with others before he could start to implement it.

Now, Yuan Zhou focused his attention on the discussion. Two days had passed in the blink of an eye. Everyone who came to participate felt that they had not finished yet. They were almost all people of the same strength. Although there were some who were better and some who were worse, there was really not much difference between them. People who could speak freely and follow their own ideas were rarely seen. However, they were everywhere here. Naturally, everyone hoped that time would pass slower.

The discussion took two days, but the main event of Akara’s meeting was about to begin.
