"Master, you already knew it, didn't you?" Liu Tong wasn't as complacent as Zhou Shijie had thought. Instead, he sounded quite unhappy in a low voice.
"Knew it? You mean Old Lee's evaluation? I don't know that. That guy is very strict with his evaluation. Others can't influence him. "Zhou Shijie thought Liu Tong was talking about Lee Yanyi's matter, thus he said discontentedly.
Zhou Shijie was discontented with Liu Tong. He was discontented that Liu Tong doubted Lee Yanyi's integrity as a gourmet critic. That wasn't good.
"It's not about Mr. Lee." Liu Tong took a deep breath and then said.
"It's not? Then what is it? "Zhou Shijie asked with puzzlement.
"I'm talking about Old Yuan … Head Chef Yuan." Liu Tong changed to a more respectful way of addressing him subconsciously.
"Yuan Zhou. What's wrong with that guy?" Liu Tong's incomprehensible words made Zhou Shijie unable to understand him at all.
"It's still early in the morning. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't leave half of it unsaid. If you have something to say, just say it." Zhou Shijie said angrily again.
Being scolded by his own master, Liu Tong also sobered up a little. After he sorted out his words, he said, "Yes, master. I got it."
"Alright. What's the matter?" Zhou Shijie waved his hand and continued asking.
Of course, Zhou Shijie couldn't help muttering in the heart that his disciple was also a debt he owed in his previous life.
"Master, did you specially take me there when Head Chef Yuan invited me?" Liu Tong didn't give up and changed a way of asking that he could accept.
This time, Zhou Shijie understood. This guy finally realized it but still didn't want to admit it.
"What do you think?" Zhou Shijie asked back solemnly.
Then, Liu Tong became listless. He took the phone and said with his shoulders drooping, "I got it. Master Yuan specially asked you to take me there, right?"
"It seems that you have comprehended something. Not bad. You deserve to be my disciple, Zhou Shijie." Zhou Shijie said contentedly.
"Mas … Master." Liu Tong opened his mouth, but he didn't have the courage to say what he was thinking.
Zhou Shijie really didn't expect that his apprentice was really smart. It was not an exaggeration to say that he could understand a little bit. Of course, when eating, Liu Tong tasted the difference between Yuan Zhou's crab competition and his crab competition.
Moreover, he was smart enough to apply the skills he learned from Yuan Zhou to his own crab cooking skills.
However, he was arrogant enough to think that he had learned it secretly. He didn't realize that it was Yuan Zhou who had taught him.
Furthermore, it was done in such a tactful way that didn't hurt his reputation.
The more he thought of this fact, the redder Liu Tong's face became. Of course, this was because he was ashamed. He was ashamed of his own self-righteousness and arrogance.
"It doesn't matter. The road that Yuan is taking now is different from yours. He is already a master. Even I can't say that I'm better than him now. You are still young and still working hard to be a master. Don't be discouraged." Zhou Shijie thought that Liu Tong was discouraged, so he encouraged him warmly.
"Um." Liu Tong became more ashamed when he heard Zhou Shijie's words.
Because Yuan Zhou not only had the culinary skills of a master, but also had the breadth of mind of a master like his master.
Liu Tong understood it thoroughly now. From the moment he invited Yuan Zhou to cut the ribbon, Yuan Zhou took the initiative to say that he would stay to eat at the banquet, and then he invited his master, Zhou Shijie, to have a meal and then specially took him along.
Liu Tong understood all the purposes of all these.
In order to ensure the credibility and craftsmanship of the chef, Yuan Zhou came to cut the ribbon, so he stayed to have a meal to test his culinary skills. Then, he found the shortcomings of his signature dish, the crab competition.
However, it wasn't appropriate to point it out at the banquet. Therefore, in such a roundabout way, he not only learned something, but also saved the face of Zhou Shijie.
After all, he was the disciple of Zhou Shijie, the chairman of the Chef's Alliance. More importantly, Yuan Zhou had a good relationship with Zhou Shijie.
"How stupid am I to think that I have succeeded in learning from Yuan Zhou? And it just so happens that I have learned the part that makes up for my shortcomings." Liu Tong couldn't help covering his face and wailing.
Luckily, Liu Tong had hung up the phone at that time. Therefore, Zhou Shijie didn't know that.
"I don't know if Master Yuan has seen through my stupid look." Liu Tong began to worry that his secretly delighted look that day was seen through by Yuan Zhou. After all, he still cared about his face.
With such an uneasy feeling, Liu Tong couldn't help walking in circles like an ant on a hot pan.
"No wonder my master said that Head Chef Yuan not only has the culinary skills of a master, but also the culinary ethics of a master." It was the first time that Liu Tong felt that his master's evaluation wasn't exaggerated at all.
"No way. I have to make up for my mistake." Liu Tong made up his mind and then began to think seriously.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn't know what Liu Tong was thinking about.
At that time, Yuan Zhou was busy steaming the steamed buns.
It wasn't an easy thing for Yuan Zhou to provide 100 Pork Buns with Crab Roe for breakfast.
Although he had eaten three and there were still 97 left, he could make the first 20 first, but he had to make the rest as he sold them.
Therefore, the customers who entered the restaurant saw Yuan Zhou carry down a bamboo steamer and then start to make the steamed buns.
Luckily, the stuffing of the steamed buns had been prepared last night and the flour was kneaded in the morning after the exercise.
Now, the whole dough had been divided into small pieces of the same size and was placed on the long azure stone countertop.
The customers could clearly see Yuan Zhou pinching the skin of the steamed buns with one hand and scooping out a spoonful of stuffing into the steamed buns with the other hand.
"Gulp." The obvious sound of saliva being swallowed came from Wuhai, who had just finished eating and was licking his fingernails.
"I'm so hungry," Wuhai couldn't help but say while staring at Yuan Zhou's action of making the steamed buns.
"Indeed. Just looking at Boss Yuan's steamed buns makes me feel super delicious," Ma Zhida couldn't help but say.
"You haven't eaten yet. You can have a taste. Otherwise, I can help you." Wuhai turned his head and stared at the steamed buns on the table in front of Ma Zhida.
"No, no need." Ma Zhida immediately jumped 10 feet away to protect his steamed buns.
"I won't rob you," Wuhai looked at Ma Zhida's careful manner and said contemptuously.
"Ho Ho," Ma Zhida replied with a chuckle and then lowered his head to eat the steamed buns.
Their frolicking didn't disturb Ruan Xiaoqing at the side. Firstly, they both had a sense of propriety. Secondly, Ruan Xiaoqing was immersed in the delicious taste of the steamed buns.
Having no time to care about the heat, Ruan Xiaoqing straightforwardly reached out her white hands to pick up the steamed buns as soon as they were served. The snow-white skin of the steamed buns rubbed against Ruan Xiaoqing's white fingers. Both looked very easy to lick.
Then, Ruan Xiaoqing directly opened her mouth and took a bite of the steamed bun.
The soft skin of the steamed bun instantly filled her mouth. Before the fragrance of the wheat faded away, the stuffing that was bitten burst out with hot gravy.
"Hiss, hiss, it's so hot," Ruan Xiaoqing said vaguely, but she didn't loosen her mouth. She still took a bite of the steamed bun.
The small piece of stuffing wrapped in the soft skin of the steamed bun was directly chewed into Ruan Xiaoqing's mouth, mixed with the gravy that had just flowed out.
The fresh and scalding steamed bun was filled with the wheat fragrance like sunshine. Eating such a steamed bun immediately made one feel comfortable.
That was exactly how Ruan Xiaoqing felt at the moment.
