2688 Chapter 232 the master arrives like the clouds
From that, it seemed that he had gotten a glimpse of the hope that he could go further. If he hadn’t learned from the chat that Yuan Zhou was busy opening the restaurant, he wouldn’t have followed Yuan Zhou back to China on the same day.
However, he had only endured for two to three more days before he couldn’t wait to set off.
In order to prevent August and the others from sharing Yuan Zhou’s free time with him, he even used the trick of pretending to be sick. It was simply a big move.
Yuan Zhou didn’t know that tiek was a drama queen. Therefore, when he saw him the next day, he was indeed a little dumbfounded.
“Could it be that I’m really the heaven’s chosen?”
He had always had such a question, but he had never been so sure about it. Yesterday, he was just thinking about whether he should invite some famous chefs to exchange cuisines from several countries, including Turkey, and today, Tilke had delivered himself to his door.
Originally, Yuan Zhou intended to invite Paul, who had been staying in Chengdu all the time. For Paul, Turkey food was also something he was familiar with and could handle. It could be considered as one of the best among them and thus could also take on the task of exchange.
Besides, when he was talking to tiel, he mentioned Paul’s name by chance. From his tone, he seemed to think highly of Paul. Yuan Zhou also believed in his judgment. Moreover, Yuan Zhou had also talked to Paul once, so he naturally knew his level.
However, no matter how good Paul was, it was not as appropriate as having tiel come in person.
“This is master chef Restaurant. That is head chef Yuan.”
Atticus was the local guide that tiel had found. He introduced the restaurant and Yuan Zhou who was standing at the door to tiel very dutifully.
When they just arrived, it was the time when Yuan Zhou was sending off the last customer. At that time, lunchtime had just ended. Atticus was the one who grasped the timing.
Naturally, tiel had made preparations before coming to Chengdu to look for Yuan Zhou. First of all, he had to book a hotel and find a tour guide. After all, he had never been to China before. Neither did he have an assistant named Joseph. However, that didn’t stop him from looking for people and booking a hotel.
As Yuan Zhou was a postcard from Chengdu, even if Joseph didn’t emphasize that he wanted to book a hotel near Yuan Zhou when he made the reservation, a prompt would still pop up.
Fortunately, they managed to book Wu Yungui’s hotel and chose Atticus, who had the best reputation and had the best relationship with Yuan Zhou.
Ever since Alex had started taking in tourists who were looking for Yuan Zhou or Taoxi road full-time, his business performance had been soaring. The number of tourists who came here every day was very large. Even if only one-tenth of them would choose to be a guide, it would be a huge income for Alex.
Moreover, it could be said that Atticus was the first tour guide to become rich by bringing tourists to Taoxi road and Yuan Zhou.
There was no need for Atticus to introduce him. As soon as Yuan Zhou appeared, tiek saw him. He walked to Yuan Zhou at a speed that didn’t match his age and directly said,””Head chef Yuan, good afternoon. I’m very happy to see you again.”
With a smile on his face, he was obviously very happy. He even stretched out his hands and intended to shake hands with Yuan Zhou. In fact, he wanted to hug Yuan Zhou more. However, according to his research, there didn’t seem to be such a etiquette between people of the same sex in China. Therefore, he changed it to shaking hands.
“Hello, head chef tiel. Welcome to Chengdu. Is there anything I can help you with?” Yuan Zhou reached out his hands and held tiek’s outstretched hands.
He was very curious about the purpose of tiek’s visit to China. After all, tiek was already very old. 79 years old was not young even in the cooking circle. It was said that he had not been abroad for nearly ten years. Besides the city he lived in, Istanbul, he had almost not been to any other place in the past few years.
“I have a new idea that I need to discuss with head chef Yuan. I think it is very good.” Said tilk.
It was true that it had taken tiek ten years to perfect the new style of roast mutton. It had almost exhausted all of his energy. However, during the short few hours of conversation with Yuan Zhou at the meeting, he suddenly had a new inspiration. After he had perfected it in the next few days, he couldn’t hold back his excitement and came to China.
“That’s definitely not a problem. Head chef tiel, please come in.”
Yuan Zhou nodded to Alex and then beckoned to tiek, walking into the restaurant. His assistant, Joseph, followed behind tiek like a shadow, while Alex waited outside the door.
This time, they also brought a long-lost cooking method. It was a chieftain filling method for Turkey desserts. This was the most authentic Turkish cooking method that had been lost for hundreds of years, just like the islov roasting method.
Tiel felt that if there was anyone else who could work out this method with him, it would be Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou was also very interested in the method mentioned by tiel. After Joseph displayed a series of information, the two of them began to study it.
Tiek had guessed the beginning but not the ending. He knew that Yuan Zhou was very strong and his cooking skills were outstanding. Even he was not as good as Yuan Zhou.
Although the two of them were both Champions and seemed to have similar abilities, in fact, tiel knew very well in his heart that he was still inferior to Yuan Zhou. After all, he had been cooking for ten years, while Yuan Zhou had only been learning cooking for less than ten years. It was impossible for him to be as long as Yuan Zhou.
If tiel knew that Yuan Zhou had only spent one month to cook the dishes and that it was so much time added up intermittently, he probably wouldn’t have any other thoughts. He wouldn’t be surprised that Yuan Zhou could get a lot of useful clues just by going through the information once. He had suddenly made a huge leap that others couldn’t make in one or two years.
He didn’t hide his actions from others. Not long after, all the top chefs who attended the meeting knew about his whereabouts. After that, Yuan Zhou would see a familiar face appearing in front of him every few days. They were all familiar faces who attended Akara’s meeting.
Originally, they had also wanted to invite Yuan Zhou to attend some of their gatherings. Since they were all at the same level, they should communicate more.
They were too old and didn’t want to run anymore. Otherwise, they would have come to China a long time ago. However, tiek was older than them, so it wasn’t impossible for them to overcome the difficulties. Therefore, they met a Top Chef every once in a while.
Yuan Zhou was quite happy to see this. Not to mention that he was learning cuisines from various countries now, even if he didn’t have one, he was also willing to communicate with many top chefs and learn things.
Time passed little by little in the midst of these trifle matters. Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t just wait for people to come and visit him. Sometimes, he would take the initiative to visit some famous chefs who were hidden from the world, for example, people like Mr. MA.
In order to learn more cooking knowledge, Yuan Zhou had always been very serious and persistent.
