One month passed quickly. The village chefs from the three provinces that participated in the final competition had already arrived at the venue of the competition in Chengdu.
During the period, Yuan Zhou specially went to give a speech. Of course, such a trivial matter as a speech of 300 words took him three days to write didn't need to be mentioned.
Anyway, the speech went very smoothly at that time.
When the 30 village chefs gathered in Chengdu saw the initiator, Yuan Zhou, they were quite enthusiastic. At that time, the applause was thunderous.
However, because of the business of opening the restaurant, Yuan Zhou didn't stay there for long.
The official competition began on the next day. After three consecutive days, the champion of the Village Chef Competition was finally decided.
It was a middle-aged village chef from Yun Province. He won the final victory with his fast and delicious cooking and got the prize of 500,000 RMB.
After all, a village chef was a head chef and needed to cook a lot of dishes. Therefore, the speed of the judges this time was also a standard.
As for the award ceremony, they invited Yuan Zhou, but Yuan Zhou refused it in the end. It was more suitable to let Zhou Shijie present the award ceremony.
"Thank you for your invitation, chairman," Yuan Zhou said to the phone in the end.
"Ok. Feel free to enrich yourself." Zhou Shijie didn't insist on it. Instead, he was very happy with the choice of Yuan Zhou.
"Um. Goodbye." After saying that, Yuan Zhou hung up the phone.
"Yuan is so young, yet he isn't ostentatious. What a rare quality," Zhou Shijie sighed with emotion after putting down the phone.
"Maybe he just doesn't want to participate," Zhong Lili said straightforwardly.
"Maybe he doesn't want to participate because he doesn't love fame and fortune. Only such a person can settle down and do something practical. I think Yuan is such a person," Zhou Shijie said.
"Maybe he's just lazy." Of course, Zhong Lili didn't dare to say that out. She just thought that in the heart.
Therefore, Zhong Lili nodded her head approvingly on the surface.
Naturally, Yuan Zhou didn't know that Zhou Shijie praised him again. On the second day after the award ceremony, Yuan Zhou saw the system's words as soon as he opened his eyes.
The system displayed, "The hanging out a notice mission has been completed. Host, you can receive the reward now."
"Great. It's finally completed." Yuan Zhou didn't feel sleepy anymore. Then, he started to check it energetically.
[Hanging out a notice mission] Have a signboard of your own restaurant. (Completed)
(Mission Tips: If the host can complete the most famous restaurant in the three provinces of Yun, Gui, and Chuan within half a year, the host can hang the signboard.)
[Reward Description] You can hang a signboard and draw a prize once. The two-seater table will be changed to a four-seater table.
(Reward tips: As an intermediate chef and a chef with an apprentice, it is imperative for you to have your own signature dish. Moreover, you can draw mysterious rewards, such as a small table turning into a big table. Work hard to complete the mission, young man.)
"For a famous chef like me, it only takes me a little more effort to complete it." Yuan Zhou was quite happy when he saw the sign of completion.
"Now that I have a signboard, I have to find an auspicious day to hang it up," Yuan Zhou muttered as he took his phone and opened the calendar on his phone.
With this, Yuan Zhou immediately found a good day. "So tomorrow is not bad. Everything is suitable. Looks like it's not bad. I can hang it up tomorrow."
"By the way, system, where's my signboard?" Yuan Zhou looked around the room and didn't see the signboard, thus he asked immediately.
It was known that Yuan Zhou had wanted to hang the signboard for a long time. He had wanted to do so since the first day he opened the restaurant. However, he didn't get the chance until now. Naturally, Yuan Zhou couldn't wait any longer.
The system displayed, "Host, you haven't received the reward yet. It will be released after you receive it."
"Oh, right. Receive it now," Yuan Zhou said immediately.
The system displayed, "The reward has been released. Host, you can check it by yourself."
"Okay," Yuan Zhou answered and then looked around his room again. However, he still found nothing.
"It seems that I'm not in my room. Did I hang the signboard directly?" Yuan Zhou was instantly shocked. Having no time to ask the system, he directly pulled open the curtains, opened the window, and craned his neck to look outside.
Yuan Zhou lived on the second floor. There was a section of eaves between the first and second floor. Therefore, he naturally couldn't see if there was a signboard hanging at the door.
"System, did you hang the signboard directly?" Yuan Zhou said immediately.
The system displayed, "The system won't decide anything for the host. The system is only responsible for distributing the reward."
"That's good." On hearing that, Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief.
Relieved, Yuan Zhou turned around and went to the washroom to wash up.
However, after washing up today, Yuan Zhou didn't go out directly. Instead, he looked around the restaurant and finally found the signboard issued by the system.
The signboard was placed on the table on the first floor of the pub. It was placed horizontally and covered with a red velvet cloth, as if it had just been bought.
Yuan Zhou walked up and reached out his hand to touch the edge of the signboard. It was warm and cool to the touch. With one touch, he knew it was made of good wood.
Feeling satisfied, Yuan Zhou didn't open the signboard impatiently. Instead, he walked around the signboard for a while and then turned around to run out of the door.
Feeling refreshed, Yuan Zhou asked in his heart while running, "System, don't I still need to draw the lottery?"
The system displayed, "Yes, host."
"By the way, I still need to change the table and chairs." Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that he had been looking for the signboard just now and didn't pay attention to the table and chairs. He didn't know if it had been changed or not.
The system displayed, "It has been modified and can be put into use."
"Um. System, you are really trustworthy." Yuan Zhou praised.
The system displayed, "Thank you, host."
"You are welcome. It's a win-win situation," Yuan Zhou said with a smile.
"Boss Yuan looks very spirited today." While talking, Yuan Zhou had run out of the back alley and started to meet the shop owners and neighbors on the street. Some of them started to greet him.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head with a mild expression.
"Boss Yuan, do you have a happy event today?" A middle-aged woman asked curiously and concernedly.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"When will you announce it?" The middle-aged woman didn't ask directly what it was, but when.
"Everyone will know tomorrow," Yuan Zhou said.
"Okay. Then I'll wait for you to announce it tomorrow, Boss Yuan." The middle-aged woman nodded her head happily and then went to inform others.
Yuan Zhou continued running and started to draw the lottery in his mind.
"System, let's draw the lottery," Yuan Zhou said in his mind.
The system displayed, "Host, you can draw the lottery at any time."
"Then let me draw the lottery," Yuan Zhou said.
The system displayed, "Since the host has completed the task of hanging the signboard three months ago, a special reminder is now given to you. Do you want to check it?"
"Reminder?" Yuan Zhou was puzzled.
The system displayed, "Do you want to check it?"
"Check it," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
The system displayed, "As the host has a different identity now, it's up to you to decide whether to hang the signboard or not."
"What does different identity have to do with hanging the signboard?" Yuan Zhou didn't understand the meaning of the system for an instant.
The system displayed, "The name of the restaurant chosen by the host is The Kitchen God. But the host is just an intermediate chef now."
"You mean some people won't be convinced by my signboard?" Yuan Zhou figured out the key point instantly.
If it was an unknown restaurant, nobody would care about the name. However, if the restaurant was originally very famous but not to the extent of overwhelming others, but had an incomparably arrogant name, there would naturally be people who wouldn't be convinced and wouldn't like it.
However, was Yuan Zhou a person who was afraid of trouble? Obviously not.
