Manman was speechless.
She had never expected that one day, she would be able to face her idol in person.
Why was Wu Yungui so famous? It was definitely because of the 50 million yuan. As the first person to throw 50 million yuan at Yuan Zhou, he had his own reputation.
Even if he didn't give face to Wu Yungui, he still had to give face to the 50 million yuan.
Manman had never faced such a thing directly. This was Yuan Zhou's own business. He would definitely look for him to talk about it.
Although she knew that more than one person had come to Yuan Zhou, both domestically and abroad, throwing checks, giving him a store, and getting bonuses from hotels, there was still a difference between hearing it and seeing it with her own eyes.
For example, apart from feeling happy and proud when she heard it, Manman had other complicated emotions. It was like she treated him as a good friend and introduced him to delicious food, but not only did he want to eat, but he also came to steal from her, preventing her from eating in the future. She was speechless. "Don't even think about it.
With Boss Yuan's cooking skills, do you think you are the first person to say that? Look over there, that's a famous chef from Spain. I heard that he represented the Spanish royal family to invite Head Chef Yuan, but he didn't go there to open a restaurant. He only went there for an exchange. Until now, he hasn't succeeded because of the complicated procedures. With such a bold idea, why don't you ask the customers around you for their opinions? "Manman said.
The person Manman pointed to was Mark, who was somewhat famous in the restaurant for his circling. This guy would never give up any chance to come to The Kitchen God for an extra meal.
Others would buy some fish and meat to go back home and cook by themselves. Mark's way of eating was to eat the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou. He didn't limit himself to the Spanish dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou. Instead, he would eat whatever he wanted.
During this period of time, he had eaten more Chinese food than he had in the previous half of his life. However, Mark never felt that he had enough. If it were not for the fact that he had not reached the age of retirement, he would definitely want to settle down in Chengdu. It would be best if he could live near Taoxi Road.
In addition, some time ago, Tai Jia had just defeated his old rival, the disciple of Somalia, Lakal, with a slight advantage in terms of skills. This was the perfect reason for him to come to China. This time, he was here to celebrate and express his gratitude.
If not for the fact that he had learned a lot of cooking techniques from Yuan Zhou and had videos for his disciple, Tai Jia, to learn from, he might have lost to Lakal, who had suddenly improved by leaps and bounds.
This time, Tajia's victory over Lacalle was naturally something worth celebrating. If one wanted to celebrate, there was nothing more exciting than coming to the restaurant to have a few meals. Although this restaurant was quite far away, one had to travel from Spain to Chengdu.
But no matter how far the journey was, it couldn't stop a foodie's desire to eat delicious food.
It was a celebration. Mark came alone. After all, Tai Jia had just passed the entrance exam and naturally had many trivial matters to attend to. As her master, he naturally had to take care of them.
Teja: I'm weak, pitiful, and helpless, but I can't say anything.
When Man Man was looking around just now, Mark, who was very unique, was naturally very conspicuous. He was the most suitable example to be used as an example.
She had a feeling that this face was somewhat familiar. Although the circle of desserts and the circle of chefs overlapped, she didn't know every famous chef. The only reason she felt Mark looked familiar was because he was mainly active in France and Spain.
Although she had long known that it was unlikely for her to convince Yuan Zhou to open a restaurant in France, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, she wouldn't give up. It was always better to have hope than to not have hope at all.
"Head Chef Yuan seems very easy to talk to. Perhaps he will agree if he's in a good mood today," Lillian said as she glanced at Yuan Zhou, who was earnestly cooking in the kitchen.
What if Yuan Zhou agreed? No one could say for sure. Sometimes, when luck came, it couldn't be stopped.
Even though Manman had given her so many examples, Lillian still felt that she should try inviting Yuan Zhou to open a restaurant instead of a desserts shop. It didn't matter if she didn't succeed, but she had to try it in person. Lillian didn't leave the restaurant with Manman after she finished eating.
Instead, the two of them stood outside the restaurant, waiting for the opening hours to end. It was still business hours, so they couldn't talk about personal matters. Lillian knew this.
When she walked out of the restaurant and saw the sea of people lining up outside, Lillian finally understood how powerful Manman's words were. With so many people here, she would probably drown to death with just a mouthful of saliva from each of them.
After thinking about it carefully, Lillian felt that she might need to change her strategy. She didn't necessarily have to knock on the same tree. She felt that this was because she was flexible and not because she was afraid of drowning to death with saliva.
Manman didn't know the complicated and tortuous thoughts of her new friend. She accompanied Lillian and waited outside the restaurant. When the opening hours ended, she brought Lillian to Yuan Zhou.
"How is the desserts today? Do they taste good?" Yuan Zhou was very familiar with Manman. Therefore, his attitude toward her was much friendlier.
"It's very delicious. Head Chef Yuan, you are so awesome. I didn't know Chinese desserts are so delicious. I've missed a lot," Lillian's eyes lit up.
She liked sweets not because she liked the sweet taste, but because she liked the soft and fluffy texture of the desserts. Therefore, she liked cakes the most among all the desserts.
Lillian couldn't sit still when she tasted the red velvet cheese cookie previously because Manman said that her original model was a red velvet cake.
Today's desserts were simply a product of Lillian's taste. She was really satisfied. Moreover, Yuan Zhou had adjusted the softness of the desserts according to Lillian's taste.
Compared to the simple texture of cakes, the fluffy and complex Chinese desserts were obviously more to her liking. Therefore, she was very excited from the moment she tasted the desserts.
"As long as you're satisfied," Yuan Zhou nodded calmly.
To be able to satisfy every customer was a necessary skill for a future Master Chef. Yuan Zhou had always been striving toward this goal.
Manman was doing her job at the side, acting as the background. She didn't disturb the two of them, so as to not waste Yuan Zhou's time.
When Lillian received Yuan Zhou's response, she became visibly more excited and her voice became slightly louder. Fortunately, Yuan Zhou had invited them into the restaurant and even poured them a glass of water before they sat down. Otherwise, with Lillian's exaggerated way of acting, the passersby outside would definitely be attracted.
Lunch had just ended, so the flow of people on Taoxi Road was not small at all.
"Head Chef Yuan, are you interested in opening a Chinese dessert restaurant in France? You can let more French people see the charm of Chinese desserts. Be it in Paris, Lyon, or Toulouse, you can choose any place you like. Our association will take care of the store, the procedures, and the renovation," Lillian looked at Yuan Zhou eagerly.
Even though she already knew the difficulty of this matter from Manman's explanation, it was not her style to give up without trying.
