Chapter 1543: Crazy hints
Although Zhou Shijie kept repeating this in his heart, he was actually very happy. With a smile on his face, he went to send August to the hotel.
Well, Zhou Shijie also had to entertain him. After all, he was a famous France chef with a high status. Zhou Shijie had to entertain him personally.
At this time, Yuan Zhou should have personally come to entertain him. However, Zhou Shijie directly said that Yuan Zhou was preparing for the cooking exhibition. Therefore, August could only give up his wish to meet Yuan Zhou in advance.
At the other side, Yuan Zhou, who was told by Zhou Shijie that he was preparing for the culinary arts Exhibition seriously and would not receive any guests, had just finished his lunch and was taking a rest. He was preparing to continue practicing his culinary skills.
Chu Xiao arrived at this time.
At that time, Yuan Zhou had just changed into a light blue Han Chinese clothing with narrow sleeves. As usual, he wore it very formally with a straight back. The neckline and sleeves were embroidered with lotus flower patterns. He was sitting on the chef’s chair and resting with his eyes slightly closed.
With a sound of “ta ta,” Chu Xiao strode into the restaurant. Yuan Zhou didn’t even open his eyes and just said,””Lunchtime is over. Please come again for dinner.”
“I’m not here to eat. ” Chu Xiao said with a smile.
“I know. You’re just here to take a look at the new menu.” While saying that, Yuan Zhou opened his eyes and said.
“Yes, I invited you to attend your cooking exhibition.” Chu Qi said.
“Yes.” “You won’t be disappointed,” Yuan Zhou nodded and said.
“Of course, I believe in my own judgment.” Chu Xiao said confidently.
“No, I believe in my cooking.” Yuan Zhou didn’t stand up, but his manner was no less imposing than that of Chu Xiao who was standing.
“You’re not going to invite me to sit?” Chu Qi said.
“Please sit, there’s no water here.” Yuan Zhou didn’t invite Chu Xiao to sit down, but said frankly.
“Then I think the thing I brought can still go in and be exchanged for a glass of water.” Chu Qi said.
This time, Yuan Zhou didn’t say anything. Instead, he opened the partition and walked out directly. Then, he opened the door of the Sergestes wall landscape and signaled Chu Xiao to follow him.
During the process, Yuan Zhou didn’t ask what news Chu Xiao brought and neither did Chu Xiao. The two of them just walked to the courtyard of the pub quietly.
This time, Yuan Zhou took Chu Xiao to the front courtyard.
Ever since Yuan Zhou and Yin ya became engaged in the backyard, he had basically never brought people to the backyard to talk about business. This was the gentleness that Yuan Zhou had shown to Yin ya.
It was really clear water. Yuan Zhou carried a wooden kettle and two wooden cups and directly put them in front of the two.
The wooden kettle was glossy, with clear and beautiful patterns, and had a hint of ancient charm. The cup was warm to the touch, but it was very comfortable in the slightly hot weather.
Although the cup didn’t have a handle, it wasn’t slippery. It was very suitable for the human body to hold, and the mouth of the cup was round and fine without the rough feeling of wood.
“I casually carved it. I can still make do with some water.” Yuan Zhou said casually.
“It seems that your wood carving has improved.” Chu Xiao held the cup and continued without caring,”Then I’ll give you two of my free games next time.”
Yuan Zhou instantly thought of the international express delivery that Chu Xiao had sent to him and couldn’t help saying in his heart,”A game? he must have been secretly working on it for a long time.”
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Yuan Zhou still said indifferently on the surface,””That’s fine. If you like this cup, you can take it with you. It’s just a small toy. You can carve a few of them for practice.”
This time, it was Chu Xiao’s turn to Twitch the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, neither of them liked to compete with each other. After a few words, Chu Xiao took the initiative to mention the purpose of his visit today.
“There’s a segment at the end of the overseas personal cooking exhibition where the participants are required to judge whether they’re satisfied or not, and then the final result will be obtained.” “Only when the satisfaction level is above 50% can it be considered a success. You know this, right?” Chu Yao said.
“Uncle Zhou has already told me about the process. Since this is the first time I’m holding it in China, I’ll follow the International schedule. It’s true.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
“Yes, I suggested this. This way, we can have a comparison.” Chu Qi said.
“Indeed,” Yuan Zhou said.
“There are only two answers to this ‘satisfied’ vote. You can’t give any suggestions, you can’t give up, and there can’t be a middle answer.” Chu Xiao continued.
“This is better.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head to show his agreement.
The cooking exhibition was originally to show the cooking skills of the chef himself, and the participants only needed to say that they were satisfied or not satisfied with the cooking skills of the chef.
After all, this was a cooking exhibition, not a competition.
“Speaking of which, it’s very popular to hold personal cooking exhibitions abroad, but there are many chefs who failed. After all, it’s hard to sway the crowd, not to mention the sincerity. It’s not just good food that can impress those who come.” Chu Qi said.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“It just so happens that I’ve also held a personal cooking exhibition abroad, and the results were not bad.” “That time, the satisfaction level was 87%. It’s the second person to achieve such a high satisfaction level in the past 50 years.” Chu Xiao continued with a seemingly modest tone.
“It’s indeed okay. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head earnestly.
After all, the cooking exhibition was not like anything else. It was already very good to be able to reach 87% satisfaction. This was a personal cooking exhibition, not anything else.
Generally speaking, a 70% satisfaction rate at a personal cooking exhibition was considered a very good master.
There was once a person who was dissatisfied because the chef made a carrot decoration that he didn’t like, which directly gave him a dissatisfied answer.
If such a small detail could become a point of dissatisfaction, it could be imagined how picky those people were. However, this was also the requirement of the cooking exhibition, which was to give satisfaction according to the most personal ideas, or to be anonymous, no matter what else.
“In a cooking exhibition, the host is usually the main chef, but sometimes, one or two good friends will be invited to make two signature dishes for the exhibition.” Chu Yao paused for a moment before continuing,”and the media is guessing which friend the head chef will invite is also a reserved program before the cooking exhibition starts.”
“After all, this isn’t a variety show. There’s not much to watch before the show starts.” Chu Xiao spread his hands and said.
“Yes, I’ve heard about that.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he got it.
Chu Xiao took a look at Yuan Zhou. When he found Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to say anything more, he said again,””I’m already guessing who you’re going to invite after seeing the news.”
“I haven’t seen that. I’ve been perfecting the menu recently.” Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
“Ahem, so you’re taking Cheng zhaomei as your assistant this time?” Chu Xiao clenched his fist and pretended to cough.
“Yes, he’s in charge of guarding the kitchen door and not letting anyone in.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“Are you going to cook for two hundred people again this time?” Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
“Of course.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head deservedly.
“But inviting friends is also an unwritten rule in a personal cooking exhibition.” Chu Xiao continued.
“Oh, I don’t intend to invite anyone else. The cooking exhibition will last for four days for 200 people. It’s not a lot for me.” Yuan Zhou said.
Chu Xiao was speechless.
The crazy suggestion failed…
