After tidying up the place, the three of them didn't separate or go back immediately. After all, it was only a 10-minute walk away from Yuan Zhou's restaurant.
Therefore, the three of them went to Yuanzhou shop together.
In the past, Yin Ya came to drink with Yuan Zhou at this time. But since Yin Ya took a temporary leave, this time was moved to the evening.
Because of that, Yuan Zhou sent Yin Ya back to her home more often these few days, increasing the time for them to get along with each other.
In the afternoon, however, Yuan Zhou practiced his culinary skills with all his might. When the three of them arrived, Yuan Zhou was practicing with a kitchen knife in one hand and a piece of white and tender tofu in the other.
Recently, Yuan Zhou had been practicing sculpting with soft objects. After all, Yuan Zhou's sculpting with hard objects had come to an end. Naturally, it was time for him to start sculpting with soft objects.
Yuan Zhou was different from others when he practiced sculpting with tofu. Other chefs practiced in water, but Yuan Zhou directly held the tofu in his hands. Moreover, he sculpted with a kitchen knife at the beginning.
Of course, it was not as easy to use his hands as water. Besides, he had to pay attention to the strength of holding the tofu from time to time so that it wouldn't break.
At the beginning, it was easy to hold a whole piece of tofu. But as he sculpted, some parts of the tofu became smaller and smaller. At this time, he simply couldn't touch it or it would break. But Yuan Zhou still had to hold it in such a situation.
At this time, it was time to test Yuan Zhou's control of subtle strength, eyesight, touch and so on.
It was extremely difficult to carve a three-dimensional flower from tofu in one's hand.
When the three of them arrived, they saw Yuan Zhou sculpting the tofu. Yin Ya directly took a step forward and stopped Wu Yungui and Zhong Lili, saying, "Let's wait for a while."
"He has been practicing sculpting with tofu recently. He can't be distracted." Yin Ya explained.
Because Yin Ya deliberately lowered her voice, Wu Yungui and Zhong Lili didn't say anything. They just nodded and stood still.
According to the novels, a big shot like Wu Yungui would have millions of people in a minute, but he just stood there and waited for Yuan Zhou for 15 minutes.
Fifteen minutes later, Yuan Zhou sheathed his knife and gently flipped the tofu in his hand. The half-palm-sized tofu slid directly into the wooden basin at the side.
When the tofu slid down, some small pieces slid to the edge of the wooden basin, while the rest slid into the wooden basin.
As soon as the tofu entered the wooden basin filled with clear water, it instantly bloomed like a flower. The tender white tofu unfurled, and it was obvious that it was a pure white lotus flower.
The delicate and white petals had a small soft flower core in the middle. It looked beautiful and cute. Looking at such a beautiful water lotus, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but let out a small cry of surprise.
However, Yuan Zhou knitted his brows. He directly picked it up and threw it into the vat at the side without looking at it. Instantly, the beautiful water lotus flower broke into pieces.
"Hiss. What a pity." The surrounding crowd couldn't help but say.
"Shh. Don't talk. I guess Boss Yuan thinks the water lotus flower isn't sculpted well." Someone immediately stopped the surrounding crowd and said.
"I think the water lotus flower is very beautiful. It's even more beautiful than a real flower. It blooms so softly in the water. It's so beautiful. How can there be any flaws?" the person said unconvinced.
"What do you know? Boss Yuan has high standards for himself. You may think it's good, but even if Boss Yuan thinks he can do it well, he will redo it again," a man wearing black-rimmed glasses said seriously.
"Anyway, I can't tell. It's so beautiful. It's a pity to throw it away." The man shook his head and sighed.
"That's why I said you are not a craftsman like Boss Yuan or a master," the man wearing black-rimmed glasses replied.
Hearing that, the man who was lamenting didn't refute. Instead, he nodded and said, "That's true. I can't live like a monk like Boss Yuan. He opens his restaurant every day and practices his culinary skills."
"Exactly. My mother said if I have the perseverance, I can go to Tsinghua University or Peking University."
"Yeah, my wife also said so. She said if I had the self-control like Boss Yuan, my wealth would be comparable to that of Erma."
Such voices rose and fell. Everyone began to discuss Yuan Zhou's perseverance.
Yuan Zhou's schedule had been spread on the Internet some time ago. What followed was admiration and admiration.
It was known that it wasn't a very difficult problem to maintain such a schedule and perseverance. It was a fact that it was basically impossible.
As Yuan Zhou's itinerary was almost transparent, it was rare that no contrarians came out to stir up trouble and doubt the authenticity of the news.
"Yuan Zhou." After Yuan Zhou finished sculpting and threw the lotus flower into the water, Yin Ya uttered first.
"Um? You are here. "Yuan Zhou immediately stood up and put down the kitchen knife in his hand and said gently.
"Um. I went to check out the venue with Mr. Wu and Zhong Lili. Then, I came here on the way," Yin Ya said.
"Sorry to trouble you two." Yuan Zhou nodded his head lightly and thanked them.
"You're welcome. It's my duty," Zhong Lili said.
"I told you not to be so courteous with me. My Gourmet City depends on you, Boss Yuan," Wu Yungui said smilingly.
"If it wasn't because of your reluctance, I would like to worship you, Boss Yuan. This is the authentic way to attract wealth and treasures," Wu Yungui continued saying.
"…" Yuan Zhou couldn't help imagining himself being worshipped according to Wu Yungui's words. Instantly, he became speechless.
Looking at the helpless look of Yuan Zhou, Wu Yungui didn't joke anymore. Instead, he asked with a slightly serious expression, "Boss Yuan, when will you serve more dishes that go well with liquor? I can only support myself by drinking liquor from time to time."
"I don't have such a plan in the near future," Yuan Zhou said immediately.
"Alright. It seems that I won't be able to enjoy good food for a long time." Then, it was Wu Yungui's turn to be helpless.
"You drink a lot of liquor," Yuan Zhou said matter-of-factly.
"But liquor can't fill one's stomach." Wu Yungui said, "Alright. Let's not talk about that. I came here just to thank you, Boss Yuan, for being willing to hold a culinary exhibition in my restaurant."
"No need. I should thank you," Yuan Zhou said.
"You don't need to thank me. This is a rare opportunity that others can't even fight for," Wu Yungui shook his head and said.
"Many people want to cooperate with the Chef's Alliance to hold your culinary exhibition, Mr. Yuan." Before Yuan Zhou answered, Zhong Lili uttered at the side.
"Um. Sorry to bother you." Yuan Zhou didn't act modestly this time, but thanked her earnestly.
"Alright. I know you don't like to be courteous, Boss Yuan. Then we're leaving now. You two take your time to chat." Wu Yungui said teasingly. Then, he tilted his head to Zhong Lili at the side and signaled them to leave together.
Naturally, Zhong Lili was quite self-aware. She immediately followed Wu Yungui and left.
Then, only Yuan Zhou and Yin Ya were left standing at the door.
