While Yuan Zhou was indulging himself in his room, Zhong Lili wasn't. She was busy removing her makeup, washing up, and changing her clothes.
Zhong Lili, who had just changed into her home clothes, heard the doorbell ring.
Zhong Lili quickly tidied up her clothes in front of the mirror. Fortunately, her clothes were grey, similar to sportswear. After confirming that there was no problem, she opened the door.
It was none other than Qiu Ji and Cui Hang, the Twin Stars of Fengcheng.
"Why are you two here? What's the matter? "Zhong Lili opened the door and asked.
"We want to talk about the plane tickets," Qiu Ji was the first to speak.
"Plane tickets?" Zhong Lili was stunned. Then, she turned around and said, "Please come in."
"No need. We will talk at the door," Cui Hang said.
"Yes, yes. Let's talk at the door," Qiu Ji added.
"Ok. Do you have any questions about the plane tickets?" Zhong Lili didn't force them. She stood at the door and returned to her usual demeanor.
"Our flight time is about the same as Head Chef Yuan's. We want to change it," Qiu Ji said again.
That's right. Qiu Ji and Cui Hang were here for the change of the plane tickets. After this exchange meeting, everyone would return to their hometown.
They were from Fengcheng in Guangzhou. Naturally, they wouldn't be on the same plane as Yuan Zhou. They wouldn't even be in the same waiting room.
If that was the case, they wouldn't be able to ask Yuan Zhou more questions about cooking. That was a pity.
That was why the two of them took the liberty to visit him.
"What do you want to change?" Zhong Lili asked.
"Head Chef Yuan's flight is at 12: 25 PM. Can we change it to around 1: 30 PM?" Qiu Ji immediately brought out the time they had discussed.
That way, they would be able to enter the waiting room earlier.
"Let me see if there are any tickets available at this time," Zhong Lili nodded and took out her phone to check.
Soon, she found them. Zhong Lili said, "Sure. There are still many tickets left. I wonder if only two of you want to change it or all four?"
After all, there were four Cantonese chefs this time, but only two were here.
"Yes. Head Chef Yuan's dim sum is also one of a kind," Cui Hang nodded and said.
"Okay, wait a moment. I'll send the changed itinerary directly to your phone numbers," Zhong Lili said.
"Thank you, Assistant Zhong." Qiu Ji thanked him.
"You're welcome. This is what I should do," Zhong Lili said.
"We will go to the airport together tomorrow. Sorry to trouble you, Assistant Zhong," Cui Hang said again.
"Alright, we'll leave at 10 am tomorrow. I'll send you a message then." Zhong Lili nodded.
"Then I won't bother Assistant Zhong any longer. We'll leave first." Qiu Ji said goodbye.
"See you at ten tomorrow morning." Zhong Lili nodded and watched them leave.
After he left, Zhong Lili closed the door and went to rest.
Today was the official day of the exchange of pointers meeting. Therefore, the eight chefs, including Yuan Zhou, were very tired. Even Zhong Lili, who didn't cook and only dealt with chores, was so tired that she fell asleep in advance, let alone the others.
After an uneventful night, the sky in Beijing slowly darkened. This was the prelude to dawn. At this time, Yuan Zhou, who had not set an alarm clock, suddenly opened his eyes and woke up.
"Huh? I fell asleep directly? "Lying on the quilt, Yuan Zhou stared at the dark room in a daze, which was rare for him.
"Zi". Yuan Zhou stretched out his arm to turn on the ceiling light of the room. Only then did he see clearly the time on the bedside alarm clock. It was just 5: 00 am
"It seems that I was quite tired yesterday. I can't believe I fell asleep just like that." Yuan Zhou sat up and moved his stiff neck and shoulders. Then, he looked around at his clothes and shoes and felt a little helpless.
"Forget it. I'm going to wash up." Yuan Zhou got off the bed quickly and entered a sober state. Then, he began to wash up for the day.
Having washed up, Yuan Zhou went to the desk to read books refreshed. After all, it was snowing outside and he couldn't do any exercise. Therefore, he could only read books.
Yuan Zhou read books quietly in the room until 7: 30 am Then, he washed his face again and went to have breakfast.
Yuan Zhou knew that breakfast was served in the hotel at 7: 30 am
He opened the door and walked out. The corridor was still very quiet. Everyone was probably still sleeping. When Yuan Zhou walked into the elevator, there was no one there.
When he arrived at the entrance of the breakfast restaurant on the fourth floor, there were more people there. There were two waiters standing at the entrance, smiling and greeting Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou nodded and told them his room number. Then, he went to have breakfast.
However, not long after Yuan Zhou started eating, the group of Cantonese chefs and Sichuan chefs arrived as well.
When they saw Yuan Zhou, they naturally greeted him again.
Moreover, when the Cantonese chefs saw that Yuan Zhou was about to finish his food, the four of them sped up and finished the food on their plates. Then, they walked to Yuan Zhou's side.
"Head Chef Yuan, can I ask you some questions about cooking?" Qiu Ji asked.
"Yes, the cafe downstairs is open. I wonder if I can take up some of your time, Head Chef Yuan?" Cui Hang asked nervously.
"Yes, we can leave at 10 am My luggage is already packed. We can chat until 9: 30 am," Yuan Zhou nodded and said.
"That's great. Don't worry, Head Chef Yuan. We also packed last night. Head Chef Yuan, you said that we have to prepare in advance," Qiu Ji immediately said happily.
"Yes, yes, we all packed last night," Cui Hang and the other two Cantonese dim sum masters nodded and said.
"Um," Yuan Zhou answered mysteriously. He did not intend to say that his luggage was packed this morning.
On the other side, the four Sichuan chefs also walked over and said, "Can we listen by the side? Head Chef Yuan? "
"Yes, together," Yuan Zhou nodded and said.
Although Yuan Zhou was not a good teacher, it was rare for him to teach others like this. It felt good.
Seeing that Yuan Zhou agreed, the eight of them were very happy, especially the Cantonese chefs. They originally thought that they could only consult Yuan Zhou on the way to the airport or in the waiting room, but now that they had more than an hour, they were naturally happy.
The Twin Stars of Fengcheng rescheduled the flight to squeeze out more time to consult Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou led the eight of them into the elevator and went directly to the hotel lobby. There was an open tea table in the lobby.
After Yuan Zhou sat down, the eight of them sat down one by one. The waiter immediately came over to order tea and snacks before leaving.
After the tea and snacks were served, the most outgoing of the Twin Stars of Fengcheng, Qiu Ji, was the first to ask Yuan Zhou some professional questions about Cantonese cuisine.
During this exchange, the four of them realized that Yuan Zhou was not only a Sichuan Cuisine master, but also a genuine Cantonese Cuisine master. Moreover, his culinary skills were far above theirs.
Um … More than that.
That was because Yuan Zhou was able to accurately point out the small flaws when they were cooking.
Just like that, one asked and one answered. The rest of them were taking notes seriously, all of them were sincere and meticulous.
Time passed quickly. When Zhong Lili told them to go downstairs to gather, they were still immersed in Yuan Zhou's various opinions on culinary skills. After Yuan Zhou said that they could talk about it in the car, they left quickly just to go downstairs as soon as possible.
If one wanted to learn well, he would seize all the time and opportunities. From this aspect, the Cantonese chefs were very envious of the Sichuan chefs. Yuan Zhou lived in Chengdu.
It was not that it was impossible to find someone who could compete with Yuan Zhou in Cantonese cuisine, but as for his age … Well, it was not that convenient.
