"That's a good idea." Yuan Zhou took out his phone and began to dial.
Obviously, Yuan Zhou was calling Zhou Shijie. Only Zhou Shijie could help him with this matter. Zhang Yan had come to Yuanzhou shop many times to ask Yuan Zhou to call him if there was anything.
But most of the time, Yuan Zhou still preferred to call Zhou Shijie. After all, they were more familiar with each other.
Speaking of this matter, Zhang Yan was very angry with his daughter.
He asked her to come to Yuan Zhou, but she followed Jiang Changxi around every day. The attention she paid to Yuan Zhou was actually paid to Jiang Changxi.
How could Yuan Zhou notice her like that? If he saw her, he would just think she was a fan of Jiang Changxi.
Therefore, when he found that there was no hope for his daughter, Zhang Yan came to Yuanzhou shop more often. After all, Yuan Zhou was good at Sichuan Cuisine and could be regarded as the best among all Sichuan Cuisines.
Yuan Zhou called Zhou Shijie's private phone. The phone was picked up after two rings, "It's Yuan. What's up?"
Zhou Shijie asked with a smile as he sat on his leather chair with his phone in his hand.
"Chairman, I need your help." Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"How many times have I told you? We are not in a working relationship. Just call me Uncle Zhou." Zhou Shijie immediately said discontentedly when he heard Yuan Zhou's way of addressing him.
"I'm so much older than you. It's not wrong to call me uncle, right?" Zhou Shijie didn't wait for Yuan Zhou's answer and continued.
"Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou said immediately.
He had no choice. Zhou Shijie was very good at preaching to Yuan Zhou. If Yuan Zhou didn't agree, he would probably talk for at least ten minutes.
As for Yuan Zhou, he didn't call him Uncle Zhou because he was a little embarrassed. After being requested by Zhou Shijie, he hurriedly called him Uncle Zhou.
"That's right. Tell me, what's the matter?" Zhou Shijie replied happily.
"It's like this. Ever since I put up my signboard, many people have come to challenge me. There are people from all provinces," Yuan Zhou said.
"They all came to find you?" Zhou Shijie's tone was filled with concern and dissatisfaction towards those people.
"There have been a lot of visitors these days, mainly from your province and Yun province," Yuan Zhou replied.
"Okay, you don't have to worry about this. I'll handle it." Zhou Shijie immediately wanted to take over the matter.
Yuan Zhou was touched, but he still said, "Uncle Zhou, I can solve this problem, but I need your help."
"You just focus on your culinary skills. Don't worry about these trivial things. Those people don't have any skills, but they are ambitious." Zhou Shijie immediately instructed.
That's right. Zhou Shijie was a shrewd man. As soon as he heard Yuan Zhou's words, he knew what was going on. He just wanted to make a name for himself by stepping on Yuan Zhou.
That was what Zhou Shijie disliked the most. After all, Yuan Zhou had reached such a level at such a young age. In a few years, the title of Master Chef might even belong to Yuan Zhou.
Therefore, at such a critical time, Zhou Shijie naturally didn't want anyone to disturb Yuan Zhou.
If Chu Xiao or other chefs with real talents wanted to challenge Zhou Shijie, he would gladly agree. After all, it was helpful to improve himself to compete with chefs of the same level.
However, those who appeared at this time were basically those chefs who didn't have any skills. Then, the competition would be meaningless.
"Uncle Zhou, please listen to my method first." Yuan Zhou insisted.
Zhou Shijie thought for a while and then said, "Okay. Yuan, go ahead."
"You can help me resist such a thing once or twice or even ten times, but it's still hard to convince people." Yuan Zhou continued, "So I'm going to solve it once and for all."
"How do we solve this problem once and for all?"
"I need your help." Yuan Zhou said with a gentle tone.
"Yuan, what do you want me to help with?" Zhou Shijie agreed without hesitation.
"Please gather all the chefs in the three southwestern provinces who want to challenge me and gather them in Chengdu. Three days later, we will meet in your Chef's Association Building. I will spare three hours to accept the challenge. At that time, I will use the dishes from the three provinces to accept the challenge." Yuan Zhou said resolutely.
"But I need your help to contact people and borrow the venue." Yuan Zhou said with slight embarrassment.
"It's no big deal. It's just a piece of cake. But there are too many people. Will you be tired, Yuan?" Zhou Shijie cared about Yuan Zhou's health.
Obviously, Yuan Zhou meant that he had to do business in the daytime when he said the challenge in the afternoon. That would be too tiring.
"Why don't we rest on that day? That way, I won't be too tired." Zhou Shijie suggested.
"No need. This competition is not a big deal. It won't affect the business." Yuan Zhou said confidently.
"That's true. After you finish the competition, those people won't come here randomly." On this point, Zhou Shijie agreed with him very much.
Nowadays, there were more bad guys coming out to challenge him, but there weren't any real genius chefs. They indeed didn't deserve much attention.
The key point now was, "Yuan, did you learn Guizhou Cuisine and Yun Province Cuisine again?" Zhou Shijie asked in surprise.
"I'm not very good at it. I just know a little. It won't be a problem for me to handle the competition three days later." Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
Yuan Zhou said that very earnestly. When he received the most famous dishes in the three southwestern provinces, he had started to practice the dishes of Yun Province and Gui Province by himself. From the well-known local specialties to some niche dishes, Yuan Zhou had dabbled in them.
Since he was already famous in the three provinces, it was better for him to live up to his name. Therefore, Yuan Zhou had been practicing seriously.
"Yuan, don't work too hard. Sichuan Cuisine alone is already broad and profound." Zhou Shijie sighed with emotion.
"I know. But I have already mastered Sichuan Cuisine. It's time to cook something else," Yuan Zhou said.
"…" Zhou Shijie suddenly didn't know what to say. He was the only Sichuan Cuisine master in history at such a young age.
But judging from Yuan Zhou's words, he was obviously still studying hard. Thinking of that, Zhou Shijie increasingly disliked those people who came to challenge him.
"Ok. Leave it to me. You can come to the competition three days later. I'll ask Zhong Lili to pick you up. You don't have to worry about the rest," Zhou Shijie instructed.
"Thank you, chairman," Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
"Call me Uncle Zhou." Zhou Shijie corrected him again.
"Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou thanked him earnestly again.
"Ok. You only focus on cooking every day. You should leave these chores to us old men." Zhou Shijie said, "Ok. Go and get busy. I'll take care of the rest."
"Ok." Yuan Zhou answered and then hung up the phone.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou looked at the phone and said softly. Then, he put it down.
Not long after, Yuan Zhou picked up the phone again and directly clicked on the transfer page.
Because Yuan Zhou just remembered that those ingredients needed money, Yuan Zhou was too embarrassed to ask the Chef's Association to pay for it.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou directly transferred the money to the account sponsored by the Village Chef's Activity last time. Only when he saw the notification that the transfer was successful did he feel relieved.
"That's better." Yuan Zhou put down the phone and then began to move the carving tools, preparing to sculpt.
