Once Yuan Zhou said that, the entire place fell silent for a while. The Sichuan chefs were calm while the Cantonese chefs were embarrassed.
After all, the four of them had held back a little. Naturally, they felt a little uncomfortable.
Qiu Ji had been seen through. He stood in front of Yuan Zhou, feeling both embarrassed and admiring at the same time.
After a while, Cui Hang walked out of the stove and bowed slightly to Yuan Zhou. "I'm really sorry. We showed off our meager skills in front of an expert."
"No," Yuan Zhou shook his head and continued, "It's not that we showed off our meager skills in front of an expert. It's that we should take every opportunity to cook seriously."
This was what Yuan Zhou had always believed. Outside the kitchen, a chef could be an investor, a genius, or something else. But once he entered the kitchen, a chef would only be a chef.
His words made the four Cantonese chefs feel even more ashamed. Due to the small dissatisfaction in their hearts, they had decided to do this at the same time.
However, he had seen through everything just by looking at the food. One could imagine his standard. They had been complacent when they knew nothing about it. Now, they realized it wasn't a matter of face, but a matter of mentality.
Those who could participate in the exchange meeting were all top chefs and dessert chefs of the younger generation. Naturally, they were able to realize their own problems very quickly.
And the younger generation chefs were also able to put down their pride. Starting from Qiu Ji, everyone reacted.
"Head Chef Yuan is right. It's our bad attitude," Qiu Ji nodded in agreement with Yuan Zhou and bowed slightly to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Head Chef Yuan," the rest of them also bowed and apologized in shame.
Now, there was no longer anyone who didn't respect Yuan Zhou. Even if Yuan Zhou looked as young as when he first entered the restaurant, these people no longer cared about Yuan Zhou's youth.
"It's fine," Yuan Zhou stood up and accepted the bow.
"It's normal for young people to be hot-headed. Little Zhong, continue with the next dish," Zhou Shijie came out with a smile to smooth things over.
Only then did the atmosphere lighten up.
"Next dish," Yuan Zhou said loudly.
"No, no, no, I don't need it. I'll give it to Head Chef Yuan after I'm done."
Zhong Lili wanted to take Cui Hang's Fragrant Chicken, but Cui Hang directly covered his own plate and shook his head.
"I can't embarrass myself anymore," Cui Hang said while waving his hands.
Zhong Lili helplessly turned to look at Yuan Zhou and Zhou Shijie.
Zhou Shijie just smiled and said nothing. In the end, it was Yuan Zhou who spoke.
"Remember, you owe me a Fragrant Chicken." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn't force Cui Hang.
"Okay, let alone one, even ten are fine." Cui Hang quickly agreed.
Yuan Zhou didn't say much. He just signaled Zhong Lili to go down and carry another person's dish. This person was Wu Yue's dish from Mansion Cuisine.
Wu Yue naturally didn't stop him. He was eager for Yuan Zhou to give him more advice so that he could make better improvements.
However, Wu Yue was introverted and didn't ask much. When it was Li Yu's turn, Li Yu was very talkative and took the opportunity to ask many questions about cooking.
Yuan Zhou answered them one by one, which made Wu Yue look at him with contempt, "Taking advantage of others' difficulties."
Even Tang Quan nodded to show his agreement, because he was too embarrassed to ask more.
"No, I'm good at seizing the opportunity," Li Yu said proudly.
"I think you are thick-skinned," Tang Quan said.
"No, no, no. You are too introverted," Li Yu replied while recording Yuan Zhou's opinion.
Wu Yue also went up to see what Li Yu was recording, but he didn't forget to refute.
Just like that, this impromptu small exchange meeting ended with a few people bickering.
Overall, it was not bad, of course, except for the Cantonese chefs. Because of the private decision of the four people, not only Cui Hang was embarrassed to let Zhou Shijie and Yuan Zhou taste it, but also the two Dim Sum Masters at the side.
Therefore, the exchange meeting ended much earlier than expected.
As Yuan Zhou still needed to open the restaurant in the evening, Zhou Shijie, Zhong Lili, and eight chefs personally sent Yuan Zhou downstairs.
When Yuan Zhou went out, Qiu Ji and Cui Hang said at the same time, "We will serve a real dish before the exchange meeting begins."
"So will we," the two Dim Sum Masters said quickly.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded and then turned around and got into the car prepared by Zhou Shijie.
The car quickly drove away from the headquarters of the Chef's Alliance. Only then did Zhou Shijie turn around and ask, "How is it? Are you convinced now? "
"We are not." Qiu Ji tried to be stubborn.
"Humph. Do you think Yuan is easy to bully just because he is young?" Zhou Shijie had already seen through their thoughts, but he didn't say it until now.
That's right. Qiu Ji and Cui Hang were a little dissatisfied with Yuan Zhou at the beginning. It was because Yuan Zhou was not only a nobody, but he was also appointed as the general director. Judging from his young age, they naturally had a lot of dissatisfaction in their hearts. However, when they saw Zhou Shijie defend him so much that they didn't even have the right to oppose him, they naturally had to find another way to express their dissatisfaction.
Yuan Zhou was appointed as the general director. How could such a comprehensive exchange meeting of Asia-Pacific economy be decided only when there was still half a month to go?
It was because there was a dispute about the general director in various places at the beginning that the discussion lasted until now. Finally, Yuan Zhou approved it with a unanimous vote.
But in the eyes of Cui Hang and Qiu Ji, he was naturally appointed as the general director.
"No, no. How could we doubt Chairman Zhou's vision?" Several people shook their heads hurriedly and said.
"Of course not." Zhou Shijie said unreservedly.
"Of course." Cui Hang and Qiu Ji nodded their heads and said.
It wasn't that they didn't dare to doubt him. In just one hour, they were subdued by Yuan Zhou. Moreover, Yuan Zhou behaved like a great master, which made them lose the rigorous attitude of a chef.
It was not early when Yuan Zhou returned to the restaurant. After washing up and changing his clothes, he went downstairs and started to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
At that time, people started to line up outside the restaurant.
As usual, Wuhai was the first in line. Today, Ling Hong was the second and Ruan Xiaoqing was the third. The customers behind them lined up one by one.
Ling Hong and Ruan Xiaoqing were chatting casually. Wuhai was originally lying at the door of Yuan Zhou's restaurant, smelling the fragrance to sustain his life.
But when he turned the head, he saw Ling Hong carrying something that seriously didn't match his image.
The weather was cold, but Ling Hong was still dressed in a full suit with a colorful shirt inside. Two of the buttons on his collar were unbuttoned, revealing his neck, which made him look frivolous and unrestrained. However, Ling Hong was carrying a black thermos cup in his left hand.
"No Discount Ling, have you entered the old age life ahead of time?" Wuhai pointed at Ling Hong's thermos cup and asked straightforwardly.
"Get lost." Ling Hong glanced at Ruan Xiaoqing carefully and then turned his head and said.
"It's like this. I heard that old people have bad teeth. Why don't I share half of your dinner with you?" Wuhai said seriously while stroking his own mustaches.
"Do you dare to say that to Lee Yanyi?" Ling Hong joked.
"…" Wuhai was instantly speechless.
Except for the shameless Black Beast, Lee Yanyi's fighting capacity was also among the top three in the restaurant.
