Yuan Zhou’s words were serious and solemn. He wasn’t shouting slogans, but preparing to do that seriously.

Zhou Shijie looked at Yuan Zhou with a gratified expression and said,””Okay. I believe little yuan can do it.”

“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Little Yuan, since you agree to this plan, we’ll have to start making preparations.” Zhou Shijie handed the proposal back to Zhong Lili smilingly.

“If there’s anything you need my help with, just let me know, uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.

“That’s for sure, but this is just the preliminary preparation. There’s nothing I need help with. It’s all cumbersome chores that someone will complete.” Zhou Shijie nodded his head and said.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“This large-scale event can’t be prepared in a short time. We have to go at least at the beginning of next year. Little Yuan, you don’t have to worry. Just follow your pace.” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

“That long? Then my cooking skills will improve by a large margin. ” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.

“Hahaha, that’s already considered fast. We still have to confirm the time of those foreign chefs and then arrange for them to come together.” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

“It’s a good thing that you can improve. But little Yuan, your cooking skills are also very good. It’s good that you can maintain and steadily improve. Don’t rush or work too hard. Also, take care of your body. ” After saying that, Zhou Shijie didn’t wait for Yuan Zhou to say anything and then instructed him.

“Yes, I know.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly.

“Alright, that’s all. Let’s talk about serious business. I wonder what little Yuan knows about Lu cuisine?” Zhou Shijie sat up straight when he asked that. Obviously, he was very serious when he talked about the cuisines that he was good at.

Yuan Zhou, who was asked that, answered seriously,””Lu cuisine originated from the Qi state and the Lu State (today’s Lu Shandong Province) during the spring and autumn Warring States period and was formed in the Qin and Han Dynasty. After the song Dynasty, Lu cuisines became the representative of ‘northern cuisine’, one of the eight major cuisines in our country, and also one of the four major cuisines. ”

“In addition, Lu cuisine used to be the most widespread regional cuisines in our country, covering the three provinces in the northeast. Lu cuisine is also mainly composed of three local cuisines, namely Jinan cuisines, Jiaodong cuisines, and Kongfu cuisines.”

“The geographical location of the dishes in Ji ‘an generally refers to the taste of Lu cuisine in the areas of Ji’ an, Dezhou, and tai ‘an, which is best known for its soup. The representative dishes are bird’s nest in clear soup, cattail flower in milk soup, and sweet and sour Yellow River carp.”

“The Jiaodong cuisine along the coast refers to kuofu mountain, Qingdao, Yantai, and Wei hai, where seafood is the main dish. The representative dishes are oil-fried conch, steamed fish, peeled abalone, and so on. The technique of peeling is created by Shandong cuisine.”

“Among them, the Kongfu cuisine is a self-contained system. Its dishes are all very elegant and luxurious. The spring and white snow is composed of home-cooked dishes and banquet dishes. Home-cooked dishes are the daily meals of the people in the mansion. The representative dishes are ginkgo tea, immortal duck, flower basket mandarin fish, and Kongfu first-grade pot.”

Yuan Zhou’s answer could be said to be very comprehensive and official. This was all the homework that Yuan Zhou had done for the exchange of Lu cuisine with Zhou Shijie this time. The most important thing was to throw bricks to guide the Jade and stop the master from explaining the rest.

Although Yuan Zhou spoke for a long time, Zhou Shijie still listened to him carefully.

“That’s right, this is indeed how Lu cuisine is generally. ” Zhou Shijie nodded and continued,”but there are still some small details that you haven’t mentioned. Next, I will talk about the Lu cuisines in our daily lives.”

“Thank you very much, uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou said.

“Alright, why are you always thanking me? tonight’s meal is on you.” Zhou Shijie glared at him and said discontentedly.

“That’s only natural. ” Yuan Zhou said with a smile.

“This Lu cuisine …” After saying the question of dinner, Zhou Shijie became serious.

It was very quiet in the restaurant. There was only Zhou Shijie’s slow voice, Yuan Zhou’s voice asking from time to time, and the sound of Yuan Zhou taking notes and the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper.

Taoxi road outside the shop was still as lively as before, with an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going.

Time flew by. Three hours passed in a flash. Zhou Shijie stood up after he saw the time.

“Alright, that’s all for today.” Zhou Shijie waved his hand and said.

“Yes, I’ll have to trouble uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and noted down the last stroke.

“It’s getting late. You probably have to prepare the ingredients for dinner. ” Zhou Shijie said.

“Yes, uncle Zhou is staying for dinner. We just agreed on it.” Yuan Zhou stopped Zhou Shijie who was about to leave.

“Haha, of course. I’m just preparing to go out for a walk. I’m really happy today.” Zhou Shijie turned his head and said.

“Little Yuan, study hard. Your idea is very good. Comparing Sichuan cuisine, Guizhou cuisine, and Yun cuisine to Shandong cuisine, and then summarizing the methods and methods are very creative and creative.” Zhou Shijie continued.

“I only have my own thoughts about Lu cuisine. I’m still far from being able to cook it.” Yuan Zhou said.

“I know that you like to be humble. Maybe the next time I come here, you will know how to cook Shandong cuisine.” Zhou Shijie said indifferently.

“Not that fast.” Yuan Zhou shook his head.

“I can’t say for sure. You are not just anyone. You are Yuan Zhou. Everyone outside calls you a genius chef.” Zhou Shijie laughed and said.

“I will work hard to match the reputation of a genius.” Yuan Zhou said solemnly.

“Alright, young people shouldn’t be too tense. Look at my good-for-nothing disciples. They’re half your age, but their cooking skills aren’t even half your.” Zhou Shijie waved his hand and then walked out of the restaurant directly.

“I’ll come back for dinner. ” Zhou Shijie’s voice came from outside the restaurant.

“Alright,” he said. Yuan Zhou answered earnestly.

“I’ve really learned a lot today. As expected of a master. Fortunately, I’m also a master.” Yuan Zhou took back the notebook and then muttered silently.

“But I still have to work harder. I have to prepare a few more tricks for my personal cooking exhibition next spring.” While thinking of that, Yuan Zhou thought of the mission.

When Yuan Zhou heard about Zhou Shijie’s personal cooking exhibition, he thought the difficulty of the mission would be lowered again. Who knew that the preparation time was so long that it didn’t meet his expectations at all.

“It seems that it’s impossible to communicate with the master in one go at the cooking exhibition. I have to think of another way.” Yuan Zhou washed his hands and then started to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

Just when Yuan Zhou was preparing, the foreman who was repairing the warehouse came.

The foreman did not come in. He stood at the door and shouted,””Boss Yuan, we have finished repairing your restaurant. When do you have time to check and accept it?”

“Sorry to trouble you, I’ll transfer the rest of the money to you tonight.” Yuan Zhou put down the dish in his hand carefully and then took off his face mask and said.

“Okay. Then we won’t bother you anymore. You can find us next time if you need anything,” The foreman said with a smile.

“He definitely will.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

“Goodbye, boss Yuan. By the way, I’ve already put the key at the place where boss Yuan instructed me to.” After the foreman finished speaking, he left with the workers.

“Okay, goodbye.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he got it.

As soon as he left, Yuan Zhou said in a low voice,”it seems that the seasonal ingredients will be available soon. I wonder what they will be this time.”
