When it came to a culinary exchange, it wasn't really an exchange of ideas, but a discussion between two people. It was hard for sparks to collide fiercely with each other.
The three of them, on the other hand, had their own opinions. The four words were just right. They told each other their understanding of culinary skills and then discussed it.
Therefore, the four people's culinary exchange was very enthusiastic. The time lasted from the end of breakfast to the beginning of dinner.
In the middle, Yuan Zhou went to do the lunch business and even treated the three of them to a meal. This made the three of them think even more highly of Yuan Zhou.
Sometimes, it wasn't so intuitive to just talk about it. But once Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were revealed, the three of them immediately had the most intuitive feeling.
While they were full of praise, they also felt a little itchy to show their skills. Therefore, when Yuan Zhou's lunch time ended, the three of them took turns to demonstrate their skills in the small courtyard.
In the afternoon, the exchange of ideas wasn't just about talking. Instead, they directly cooked with real knives and spears.
Sparks flew everywhere. Except for Yuan Zhou who had an alarm clock to remind him to go out to open the restaurant, the remaining three people were completely immersed in such a carefree exchange of culinary skills.
Even when Yin Ya came to drink, they drank it up in a hurry and left directly without her help. There was no time for the two of them to be alone.
Unknowingly, a day had passed, and the sky was already dark.
When the sky turned dark, the customers in the pub all took their seats and started to drink. Only then did the three people come to their senses and began to say goodbye one after another. No matter what, they were unwilling to stay and eat the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou.
It wasn't that they didn't want to, but they just felt embarrassed.
The three of them said that they would go back to record the highlights of their culinary skills today and then left.
"I hope we can have a chance to exchange again." Yuan Zhou sent the three people to the door.
"Of course. It's really refreshing to exchange with you, Yuan Zhou," Zhu Yun said smilingly.
That's right. After a day of exchange, the three people no longer called each other head chef politely. Instead, they directly called each other by their names.
In fact, if it weren't for Yuan Zhou's insistence, Ancestor Zhen would have asked Yuan Zhou to call him Fatty.
"That's right. I didn't think that you, Yuan Zhou, would know so much about exotic delicacies. This fatty is convinced." After saying that, Patriarch Zhen rubbed his bald head.
"Yuan Zhou, if you have the chance, you must come to Jiangxi as a guest and try our Jiangxi cuisine," Chen Mu directly invited.
"You old man, you really are too evil. You take all the advantages, and we haven't even said anything before you snatch Yuan Zhou away. Even if he wants to come, he should come to our Gui Province first." Ancestor Zhen was immediately unconvinced.
"What are you two fighting for? Our young friend, Yuan Zhou, is coming to Guangdong Province. Isn't Head Chef Yuan good at dim sum as well? I happen to know the King of Dim Sum in Guangdong Province, let's have a chat next time, "Zhu Yun first mentioned his old friend with a straight face, then turned to smile at Yuan Zhou.
"What do you mean by sinister? This is it," Chen Mu's skinny face revealed a speechless expression.
Even Ancestor Zhen was somewhat dumbfounded. He muttered, "I didn't expect Old Zhu to be such a person."
Seeing the three of them arguing again, Yuan Zhou said habitually, "You three don't have to say anything more. If I have the chance, I will personally visit the three provinces in the future. After all, reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles."
"Yuan Zhou, you are being modest. You already know enough," Zhu Yun immediately said.
"Indeed, a lot," Ancestor Zhen and Chen Mu nodded together.
"No, it's still far from enough," Yuan Zhou shook his head and said seriously.
Hearing that, the three of them fell silent. After a day of interaction, they knew that this was Yuan Zhou's sincere words.
But it was precisely because they knew that they were speechless. Not to mention Yuan Zhou's age, just talking about themselves, the three of them added up to a total of 177 years old. But when it came to culinary knowledge, they were not as knowledgeable as Yuan Zhou, who was not even 30 years old.
However, this wasn't a big deal. After all, there were still many geniuses in this world. What was scary was that these geniuses didn't even realize that they were geniuses. They still felt that their aptitude was mediocre and that they needed to work harder.
Therefore, the three of them, who were over 50 years old, felt ashamed of their age for the first time.
A gust of cold wind blew past. Chen Mu, who was the weakest among them, couldn't help but shiver. He said, "Thank you, Yuan Zhou, for the food today. I haven't eaten so much in a long time."
"You're welcome. If possible, you can stay and eat for a few more days. Maybe it will be beneficial to your illness," Yuan Zhou suggested sincerely.
"Yes, I will consider it," Chen Mu didn't say much and just nodded.
"Yuan Zhou is right. You really should stay and eat for a while," Zhu Yun also nodded and said.
"That's right. Yuan Zhou's culinary skills are too good. Even if I don't have an appetite, I can't help but eat a lot," Ancestor Zhen couldn't help but touch his belly and reminisce about the taste of lunch.
"I will go back and make some arrangements. I should be back soon," Chen Mu didn't answer immediately this time. He only answered after a moment of silence.
"Come earlier," Yuan Zhou said.
"Alright, it's getting late. We should go back first. Keep in touch by mail," Zhu Yun said.
"Keep in touch by mail," Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Yuan Zhou, we are leaving. Keep in touch," Ancestor Zhen said.
"Then, we'll meet again in a while," Chen Mu said with a smile on his skinny face.
"Goodbye," Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Dadada, dadada," the footsteps of the three gradually faded away. Yuan Zhou stood at the door and silently watched them leave.
Only when the three of them walked to the end of Taoxi Road did Yuan Zhou turn around and go back to his restaurant.
As soon as he returned to the restaurant, Yuan Zhou sat on the chef's chair and closed his eyes to rest. However, he didn't click on the obvious notification in his mind that the mission had been completed and he could receive the reward.
Instead, he seriously and carefully recalled what he had learned from the day's cooking.
After thinking like that for 20 minutes, Yuan Zhou opened his eyes and let out a sigh, "I've learned a lot. Although there are so many masters' culinary skills, it's still not enough for me to understand them all by myself. It's really not good to work behind closed doors."
After finishing the summary, Yuan Zhou was in the mood to click on the notification of the system.
The system displayed, "Congratulations, host, for completing the level-up mission. The reward has been released and is available to be received."
"The reward is always timely," Yuan Zhou said with a smile and then directly clicked on the button to receive it.
The system displayed, "The reward has been released. Host, please draw the lottery reward as soon as possible."
"Ok. Let me have a look first," Yuan Zhou nodded his head and checked the chopping board rewarded by the system first.
The chopping board was brownish-red in color and was rectangular. Judging from the texture of the entire chopping board, it looked like a section of a wild tree.
Since the system said that no one had ever obtained the chopping board, however, Yuan Zhou was still very curious and couldn't help reaching out to touch it.
The chopping board, however, felt rather weird. Its surface was very smooth and smooth, like congealed fat. It didn't feel like wood at all, but more like mutton-fat white jade.
"What a strange feeling. I wonder how it's like when I cut it," Yuan Zhou muttered and then prepared to experiment.
