Although Zhou Shijie said that in his heart, he was actually very happy. With a smile on his face, he sent Ogyust to the hotel.
Well, he also had to entertain him. After all, he was a famous French chef of high status. Therefore, only Zhou Shijie could entertain him personally.
At this time, Yuan Zhou was supposed to entertain him personally. However, Zhou Shijie directly said that Yuan Zhou was preparing for the cooking exhibition. Therefore, Ogyust had to give up his wish to meet Yuan Zhou in advance.
On the other side, Yuan Zhou, who was told by Zhou Shijie that he was preparing for the cooking exhibition seriously, had just finished his lunch time. He was taking a rest and preparing to continue practicing his culinary skills later.
It was at this time that Chu Xiao arrived.
At that time, Yuan Zhou had just changed his clothes. It was a light blue Han suit with narrow sleeves. As usual, he was dressed very formally with his back ramrod straight. Both the collar and the cuffs were embroidered with lotus patterns. He was sitting on the chef's chair with his eyes closed, resting.
"Dadada" Chu Xiao strode into the restaurant. However, Yuan Zhou didn't even open his eyes. He said straightforwardly, "Lunch time has passed. Please come for dinner later."
"I'm not here for dinner," Chu Xiao said with a smile.
"I know. You came to see the new menu on the way," Yuan Zhou opened his eyes and said.
"Yes. I was invited to attend your cooking exhibition," Chu Xiao said.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded and then said, "You won't be disappointed."
"Of course. I believe in my own taste," Chu Xiao said confidently.
"No, I believe in my culinary skills," Yuan Zhou didn't stand up, but his manner was no worse than that of Chu Xiao.
"Aren't you going to invite me to sit down?" Chu Xiao said.
"Please sit down. There's no water here," Yuan Zhou didn't invite Chu Xiao to sit down. Instead, he said frankly.
"I think the things I brought can still go in and exchange for a glass of water," Chu Xiao said.
This time, Yuan Zhou didn't say anything. Instead, he opened the partition and walked out directly. Then, he opened the sergestes wall view door and signaled Chu Xiao to follow him.
Yuan Zhou didn't ask Chu Xiao what news he brought, and Chu Xiao didn't speak either. The two of them quietly walked towards the courtyard of the tavern.
This time, Yuan Zhou took Chu Xiao to the front yard again.
Ever since he and Yin Ya pledged their love in the backyard, Yuan Zhou basically didn't bring anyone to the backyard to discuss matters. This was Yuan Zhou's gentleness towards Yin Ya.
Since he said it was clean water, it was really clean water. Yuan Zhou carried a wooden kettle and two wooden cups and directly put them in front of the two people.
The wooden kettle was glossy and glossy. The grain was clear and beautiful with a hint of ancient charm. The cups were warm to the touch, but they made people feel comfortable in such a hot weather.
Although the cups didn't have a handle, they weren't slippery. They were held in accordance with the mechanics of the human body. The mouth of the cup was smooth and smooth, without the rough feeling of wood.
"I carved it casually. It's fine for drinking water," Yuan Zhou said casually.
"It seems that your wood carving skills have improved." Chu Xiao held the cup and continued indifferently, "Next time, I will also give you two pieces of my playful works in my free time."
Yuan Zhou instantly thought of the international express delivery sent by Chu Xiao. He couldn't help but say in his heart, "Playful works? He must have made them secretly for a long time."
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Yuan Zhou still said indifferently, "That's fine. If you like these cups, you can take them away. They are just small things. I can carve a few for practice."
This time, it was Chu Xiao's turn to twitch the corner of his mouth.
Luckily, both of them weren't people who liked to quarrel. After a few words, Chu Xiao took the initiative to mention the purpose of his visit today.
"In foreign individual cooking exhibitions, there is a final segment where the participants are required to vote whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied. Then, the final result will be announced." Chu Xiao said, "Only when the satisfaction is more than 50%, can it be considered a success. You know that, right?"
"Uncle Zhou has told me about the process. Since this is the first time for me to hold it in our country, I'll follow the overseas method. That's indeed the case," Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
"Um. This is my suggestion. That way, we can have a comparison," Chu Xiao said.
"Indeed," Yuan Zhou said.
"The satisfaction vote only has two answers: satisfaction and dissatisfaction. No comments, no giving up, and no middle answer," Chu Xiao continued saying.
"That's better." Yuan Zhou nodded his head to show his approval.
The purpose of a cooking exhibition was to show off the culinary skills of the chefs themselves. Naturally, the participants only needed to vote whether they were satisfied or dissatisfied with the culinary skills of the chefs.
After all, it was a cooking exhibition, not a competition.
"Speaking of which, it's very popular to hold individual cooking exhibitions in foreign countries. However, there are also some chefs who have failed. After all, it's hard to appeal to everyone. Besides, the chef has to show his sincerity. To be able to move the participants, it's not only delicious food," Chu Xiao said.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"It just so happens that I have held an individual cooking exhibition abroad once. The effect was not bad." Chu Xiao pretended to be modest and continued saying, "That time, the satisfaction was 87%. It's the second person to achieve such a high satisfaction in the past 50 years."
"Indeed, it's not bad." Yuan Zhou nodded his head to the point.
After all, a cooking exhibition was different from other things. It was already very good to achieve 87% satisfaction. This was an individual cooking exhibition, not other things.
Generally speaking, if a chef could achieve 70% satisfaction in an individual cooking exhibition, he would be considered a very good master.
Once, someone was dissatisfied with a chef who made a carrot decoration that he didn't like. Therefore, he directly gave the answer that he was not satisfied.
Even such a small detail could become a point of dissatisfaction. It was not hard to imagine how picky those people were. However, this was also the requirement of a cooking exhibition. The satisfaction must be given according to the most personal opinion, anonymously, regardless of anything else.
"Usually, the host of a cooking exhibition is the main chef. But sometimes, he or she will invite one or two good friends to cook two signature dishes and display them together." Chu Xiao paused for an instant and then continued, "And the media's speculation about which good friend the main chef will invite is also a reserved program before the cooking exhibition begins."
"After all, this is not a variety show. There aren't so many highlights before the exhibition begins," Chu Xiao shrugged and said.
"Um. I heard about that." Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he got it.
Chu Xiao took a look at Yuan Zhou. When he found that Yuan Zhou didn't intend to say anything more, he said again, "I've seen the news and guessed who you will invite."
"I haven't seen that. I've been perfecting the menu recently," Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
"Ahem. Are you going to bring Zhao Mei as your assistant this time?" Chu Xiao clenched his fist and pretended to cough.
"Um. He's in charge of guarding the entrance of the kitchen and preventing people from coming in." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Are you going to cook for 200 people alone this time?" Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Of course." Yuan Zhou nodded his head as if it was obvious.
"But inviting friends is also an unwritten rule of an individual cooking exhibition," Chu Xiao continued saying.
"Oh. I don't intend to invite others. The cooking exhibition for 200 people will last for four days. It's not a long time for me," Yuan Zhou said.
Chu Xiao, "…"
