Naturally, Gabriel didn't know what was going on in Zhou Jia's mind. He was just waiting for the new round of dishes to be served with joy.
While waiting for the dishes to be served, he took out his phone and jotted down a lot of things on it.
After he finished, the dishes he had just ordered were served. As it was a Western dish, there was a knife and fork on the table. However, Gabriel, who had gotten used to chopsticks, started to use them.
The knife and fork at the side were also used as cutlery.
That's right. Gabriel used the knife with his left hand and chopsticks with his right hand. Occasionally, he would use the fork.
"It's so comfortable to eat like this." Gabriel had completely lost the reservation of a famous chef and started to lower his head to the food on the plate.
Of course, he had a very legitimate reason to convince himself, which was, "As a three-star Michelin chef, I need to maintain the passion for all food."
With the passion for food, everything else was fleeting.
As a result, the three exotic dishes disappeared into Gabriel's stomach in a short while.
"Well, I seem to be full." Gabriel looked at the empty plate and then couldn't help touching his belly.
Once he touched his belly, however, Gabriel couldn't help frowning, "Where are my eight-pack abs?"
Gabriel felt his belly was slightly bulging, but it wasn't the feeling of his abdominal muscles. Instantly, he became a little confused.
Thinking of the abdominal muscles, Gabriel thought of himself who hadn't exercised for several days. "I don't think I've exercised since I came to China. It doesn't show because I'm too full now. It will show after digestion. But I should start exercising tonight. Let's do it for two hours. "
Thinking of that, Gabriel attributed the sudden disappearance of his abdominal muscles to the fact that he ate too much and didn't exercise.
He had completely forgotten the fried chicken, kebabs, potatoes, hotpot, guokui, dumplings, vermicelli, and various meats, as well as the six servings of dishes he had just eaten.
With a sound of "Hua La", Gabriel stood up and slightly nodded to Yuan Zhou to express his gratitude. Then, he walked out of the restaurant.
"Hoo. It's so delicious. It's just that my appetite is too small." Gabriel looked at the restaurant regretfully and then walked forward slowly.
"It's not a bad choice to walk back tonight with the GPS on." Gabriel thought while looking at the bustling Taoxi Road in the night.
Of course, while thinking of that, Gabriel had already arranged breakfast, lunch, and dinner tomorrow.
It was very simple. He would eat his three meals in Yuan Zhou's restaurant and look for food outside for the remaining snacks and midnight snacks. In this way, he wouldn't be affected by his exploration of Yuan Zhou's culinary skills or his exploration of Chinese delicacies. It was a win-win situation.
Gabriel planned to eat six meals a day, three main meals and three supplementary meals. The rest of the time would be used for exercise. That would be enough.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. There was only one week left before the Dim Sum Party mentioned by Yuan Zhou. However, Gabriel had been in Chengdu for exactly ten days.
During the first four days, he didn't go out of the hotel. Later on, he went far away. He could walk from the hotel to Taoxi Road, where Yuan Zhou lived, even with his eyes closed.
He had eaten half of the delicacies along the way, which was a gratifying progress. Just when he was having afternoon tea in the afternoon and on the way to Yuanzhou shop, his phone suddenly rang.
It was from Gabriel's assistant, Garcia. She was a tall girl with brown hair and brown eyes. She was the gentle type of girl.
"Gabriel, how are you doing in Huaxia?" Garcia's gentle voice passed from the phone.
"Oh, Garcia. I'm doing very well in Huaxia. It's really a heaven for chefs. I got a lot of inspirations. It's really wonderful." While saying that, Gabriel bit into the pulled potato skewers that he had just bought.
"When are you going to come back? The restaurant needs you, Gabriel. "Garcia asked.
"Didn't I just come here? You guys just wait and see. " Gabriel was amazed by the perfect combination of cheese, potatoes, and chili and then said carelessly.
"No, Gabriel. You have been in Huaxia for 10 days. It's been 10 days." Garcia said helplessly.
"Really? I feel like I haven't been here for long. I haven't even finished eating in such a small street. "Gabriel couldn't help biting into the cheese and potatoes again and savored it carefully.
"Gabriel, the restaurant really needs you. After all, you are the head chef of the restaurant, aren't you?" Garcia had to emphasize again.
"How about this? Jessie, I definitely won't be able to come back in a short period of time. Help me submit a resignation letter. Thank you." Between going back and staying, Gabriel said without hesitation.
"…" Garcia fell silent for a long time at the other end of the phone. It was so long that Gabriel thought the phone had been hung up. When he was about to put away the phone, Garcia's voice passed from the other end of the phone, "Gabriel, this is your own restaurant. Who are you going to resign to? The shareholders? "
That's right. Even Garcia who had always been gentle couldn't stand Gabriel's off-line behavior. Therefore, she couldn't help speaking in a bad tone.
"Huh? You're right. This seems to be my restaurant. "After hearing Garcia's words, Gabriel finally remembered that the pitiful restaurant belonged to him. However, he didn't think for long and said directly," Then close the restaurant for half a year. Everyone can go back and rest. Of course, I'll compensate you as well. "
"…" Garcia was completely speechless.
"Hey, Garcia?" Gabriel asked.
"Alright. You're the boss. Whatever you say." Garcia gave up completely and agreed to Gabriel's request.
"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll get my lawyer to help you with the compensation and closing the restaurant." Gabriel hung up the phone after saying that.
"Hmm. Seems like I can stay longer. At least I have to finish the menu." Gabriel thought of the not-so-thick menu in the Yuanzhou shop.
Of course, he didn't forget to call his lawyer after finishing the spicy cheese potato.
On the other end of the phone, Garcia, who had just lost his job, was furious when he saw that the phone had been hung up. He couldn't be gentle anymore and said hatefully, "I heard that Head Chef Chu's assistant has the highest salary but it's easy for him to lose his job. But I think Gabriel is also unreliable now. What kind of magic does this damn China have?"
"Damn it." Garcia cursed again. Then, he took a deep breath and walked out of the office to the restaurant to tell everyone the news.
Actually, it wasn't that Gabriel was being willful. As a young Michelin 3-star chef, he had quite a lot of money. Besides, he also had shares of some chain restaurants. The money he had was enough for him to squander. Even if the restaurant was closed, it wouldn't affect him.
Moreover, he was doing this to improve his culinary skills. It couldn't be more normal for him to close the restaurant. Some chefs only opened the restaurant for half a year or three months and spent the rest of the time traveling around.
To put it nicely, it was to look for new dishes. To put it bluntly, it was to wander around.
Speaking of which, Gabriel, who was being willful for the first time, was quite responsible.
Speaking of which, Gabriel's seriousness could also be understood as him coming to China late.
