Engineer Cheng was very excited. He thanked Yuan Zhou repeatedly. His whole face was glowing and he couldn't control his excitement.
"This gift is really good." Zhang Yan took a look at the knife and said with a nod.
"I think Yuan, you have sharpened this knife before, right?" Zhou Shijie said.
Zhou Shijie's words told Engineer Cheng the preciousness of the knife from another perspective. Yuan Zhou was known as a great chef now. The knife carried by such a great chef was really too precious.
"I have sharpened all the knives in the restaurant personally." Yuan Zhou nodded and said.
"Boss Yuan has always done everything by himself. He has the demeanor of a great chef." Lee Yanyi said with rare calmness and approval.
Engineer Cheng who was standing at the side nodded his head repeatedly to show his approval.
Yuan Zhou had always been calm and indifferent when he was being praised. However, he was very happy in his heart. Therefore, the way he looked at Engineer Cheng became gentler.
"Alright. You should go back now." Yuan Zhou said.
"Master, I want to stay a little longer." Engineer Cheng immediately stopped smiling foolishly and said earnestly.
"No need. You can go back now." Yuan Zhou shook his head and refused.
"But …" Engineer Cheng still wanted to argue for it. Lee Yanyi said impatiently at the side.
"Are you stupid? What your master means is that you have been busy for several days for this outstanding dish. He wants you to go back and have a rest. Don't you understand?" Lee Yanyi said angrily.
"Thank you for your concern. I'm not tired." Engineer Cheng didn't care about Lee Yanyi's words at all. He only said to Yuan Zhou.
"Then you should go back now." Yuan Zhou said.
"Yes, master. I'm going back now." Seeing Yuan Zhou was so determined, Engineer Cheng didn't insist to stay. He nodded his head and said.
"Be careful on the road," Yuan Zhou reminded him out of habit.
"Yes, master," Engineer Cheng answered earnestly. Then, he carefully closed the lid of the box and left.
"The way Cheng Zhao Mei closed the box, I'm afraid she thought that the ebony wood was made of tofu," Zhang Yan teased with a smile.
"It's good to be careful. This is the saber that Yuan used himself." Zhou Shijie agreed with Engineer Cheng.
"I didn't say that we shouldn't treasure it. No matter how much we treasure Yuan's saber, we should," Zhang Yan immediately said.
"Yes, that's true," Zhou Shijie said.
Lee Yanyi didn't participate in such a topic. He just sat aside quietly.
Lee Yanyi had always been too lazy to talk about anything other than the taste of dishes.
After chatting for a while more, however, they bid farewell and left. After all, there were too many things to deal with recently.
Moreover, Yuan Zhou was going to hold his personal cooking exhibition in two days. Naturally, they didn't want to take up too much of Yuan Zhou's time.
Yuan Zhou saw them off one by one and then returned to the backyard.
At that time, the backyard was empty. At a glance, he could see the wooden box on the square table.
"I wonder what kind of lost dish it is." Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou went up and opened the wooden box directly.
As soon as the wooden box was opened, three notebooks with black covers were revealed. Although the notebooks were well maintained, they were obviously very old.
After all, apart from being Yuan Zhou's apprentice, Engineer Cheng was also a Master Chef. He was already in his forties and had built up a lot of connections over the years. Naturally, he had collected some ancient recipes for his own research.
These were the three ancient recipes that hadn't been lost. From the recipes to the notebooks, they were all here and had all been given to Yuan Zhou.
Just when Yuan Zhou was about to reach out his hand and flip through the pages, the long-lost system suddenly uttered a sound.
The system displayed, "Congratulations, host. You've obtained three ancient recipes. Triggered mission activated. Host, do you accept it?"
"Um?" Yuan Zhou put down his hand and sat on the stone stool, preparing to have a 'good chat' with the system.
The system displayed, "Host, do you accept the triggered mission?"
"What's the reward of the mission?" Yuan Zhou asked straightforwardly.
The system displayed, "Host, you'll know after you accept it."
"That can't be right. I remember that I can look at the reward before accepting the mission after I level up," Yuan Zhou said with a smile.
The system displayed, "The reward is ten ancient recipes and the original notes of the creator of the dish."
This time, the system neither pretended to be dead nor hesitated. It directly told Yuan Zhou the reward of the mission.
At the sight of the reward, Yuan Zhou was instantly tempted. The temptation of the notes of the creator of the dish was really great.
One had to know that even the ancient recipes that had not been severed were created after the understanding of later generations. Other than writing novels, which was a private matter, cooking was also something that thousands of people had different tastes. It was a very private matter.
However, the notes of the creator of the dish were different. The thoughts and original tastes of the creator of the dish were accurately recorded in the notes.
Only by knowing all these could one understand the dish better and make the dish better. Then, he could improve and add his own ideas.
However, no matter how tempted he was, Yuan Zhou still suppressed his excitement and began to display the god-level poker face that he had practiced in front of the mirror every day. He said, "Only ten ancient recipes? If I'm not wrong, this mission is definitely to collect ancient recipes or make them, right? "
The system displayed, "You'll know after you accept the mission."
"Um. Since you said so, I'll understand. You're welcome." Yuan Zhou continued, "Since the mission is like this, the reward is only ten ancient recipe recipes. I won't say anything about that."
Yuan Zhou paused for a while and then continued, "But I think you should be able to get the manuscripts of the ancient recipes that I collect, right?"
"For example, the manuscripts of these three dishes, right? Almighty Master Chef System." When Yuan Zhou said that, he smiled.
The system displayed, "…"
"Silence means you can, right?" Yuan Zhou knew the system very well. He didn't give the system any chance to refute him and then said affirmatively.
The system displayed, "Yes."
"That's what I said. After all, you are the Master Chef System." Yuan Zhou nodded his head deservedly and said.
The system displayed, "Host, do you accept the mission?"
"Of course I do. Of course I do. But what do you think about my request just now, system?" The expression of Yuan Zhou was even purer and more earnest than when Wuhai cheated him for food.
The system displayed, "Host, you'll know after you accept the mission."
"Okay. Since we've cooperated happily for so long, I'll accept the mission first." Yuan Zhou considered for half a minute and then agreed to accept the mission first.
After all, the system had shown its compromise just now. This was what Yuan Zhou had observed after communicating with the system for so long.
The system displayed, "The mission has been released. Host, you can check it now."
Yuan Zhou directly checked it.
