After thinking for a long time, Yuan Zhou suddenly came back to his senses. "Silly. I can go and ask Uncle Zhou and Mr. Ma directly. Why am I thinking about all these things here? I'm really silly."
After making up his mind, Yuan Zhou planned to visit them directly the next day. Then, he called Chu Xiao.
As the honorary chairman of the China Famous Chefs Alliance, although he didn't have any real power, he still had a quota of recommendation letters. Yuan Zhou wanted to know who he was going to give it to so that there wouldn't be any repetition.
France was six hours slower than China, so it should be afternoon there now. He shouldn't be disturbed.
A call was made, and it was picked up after two rings.
After Yuan Zhou told him the purpose of the call, Chu Xiao said that he didn't have a specific candidate in mind. If Yuan Zhou had a candidate in mind, he could write a recommendation letter directly.
This was Chu Xiao's trust in Yuan Zhou's judgment. Yuan Zhou agreed and decided to think about the fourth candidate carefully.
Before going to bed, he called Yin Ya as usual. When he picked up the phone, he heard that it was a mess on Yin Ya's side. It didn't sound like she was at home.
After asking, he found out that Yin Ya went home after work. When she was about to go to bed, her friend called and said that she broke up with her boyfriend and was cheated on.
Now, Yin Ya just picked up her friend and was going to bring her home. Then, she ordered a lot of takeout, such as garlic crayfish, chilled crayfish, thirteen-spice crayfish, sour and spicy crayfish, etc. She was going to let her friend turn her grief and anger into appetite.
There was no sadness that couldn't be solved by five pounds of crayfish. If there was, then another five pounds!
"Classmate Ya, I have to criticize you now. What's good about the takeout you ordered? If you want to eat crayfish, tell me. I can make it in any flavor." Yuan Zhou felt that his eloquence had improved greatly during this period of dating.
On the other side of the phone, Yin Ya said, "I'm afraid that it's hard for you. It's tiring enough to run the restaurant alone every day."
"Making delicacies for our Xiao Ya, it's not tiring at all," Yuan Zhou quickly replied.
The two of them chatted on the phone for a while. The young lady had fallen out of love, and Yuan Zhou didn't know her. It would be too awkward if he went over, so Yuan Zhou didn't bring up the past. He only asked Yin Ya to inform him before going to bed.
"Don't wait for me. I might not sleep until two or three o 'clock. You still have to wake up early for business tomorrow. Rest early." Yin Ya said.
Then, Yuan Zhou promised that he wouldn't stay up to wait for her. Only then did Yin Ya hang up the phone.
"How can you trust a man's words?" After Yuan Zhou hung up the phone, he mumbled that he still wanted to wait for Yin Ya, because he was worried that Yin Ya would look for him if anything happened.
He stood up and went to the cabinet to tidy up his things. The customers had given him more and more things, but Yuan Zhou had put them away well.
The car on the small black box was a gift from Wu Zhou and his wife to Yuan Zhou. It was said that the little baby had caught the car when he "caught Zhou".
There were six sets of property ownership certificates in the small black box, three of which were for the three stores on Taoxi Road. Then, there was another property that was for the place where the Cheating Horse Banquet was held. Wu Yungui had already gifted the property right to Yuan Zhou.
Besides that, Wu Yungui had previously gifted a villa to Yuan Zhou due to the favorable influence of The Kitchen God in the foodie city. However, Yuan Zhou didn't accept it and bought it at the original price.
A small restaurant with an area of less than 30 square meters had affected a foodie city. Only Yuan Zhou could do such a thing.
The last villa was the one he just got today. It was the kind of villa where people could move in with their luggage. Yuan Zhou had only seen the picture, but hadn't had time to look at the house yet.
"I remember Zheng Jiawei once told me that Wuhai has more than 20 properties in Chengdu alone." Yuan Zhou felt that he still had a long way to go.
According to Zheng Jiawei, the reason why Wuhai had so many properties in Chengdu was because of a rumor.
Last year, a rumor spread out that Yuan Zhou was going to open branches in Chengdu and open each branch for a period of time.
After Wuhai heard the news, he looked for a street similar to Taoxi Road in Chengdu and bought a house there.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou found out later and refuted the rumor. Then, Wuhai stopped buying houses.
There were too many small streets similar to Taoxi Road in Chengdu … From this, it could be seen that the black beast was really rich.
After sorting out his real estate, Yuan Zhou took out several ancient books that he hadn't finished reading.
They were all good books, but not all ancient cookery books could bring some improvement to Yuan Zhou. Anyway, this ancient book that recorded noodles didn't have any.
It wasn't until 1: 40 at night that Yin Ya sent a goodnight message. Yuan Zhou replied immediately.
Ya: [Didn't I tell you to go to sleep first and not wait for me?! ]
[I got up to go to the toilet and happened to see it. Ya, what a coincidence.] Yuan Zhou replied.
Ya: [Sleep early. Blockhead, you get up so early every day. I always feel that you don't sleep enough!] ]
[No problem. Let's sleep together. Goodnight.] Yuan Zhou replied.
After Yin Ya coaxed her friends to sleep, Yuan Zhou went to bed with peace of mind. It was all thanks to the system that Yuan Zhou fell into a deep sleep quickly.
The next day.
After making up for the lost time, Yuan Zhou resumed the normal business hours for breakfast and lunch.
Although he had a long rest time in the afternoon, it was impossible for him to visit Masheng, Zhou Shijie, and Wang Huai. Moreover, Mr. Ma and Old Master Wang were not in Chengdu. Yuan Zhou came to the headquarters of the Chef's Alliance first.
Before he came, Yuan Zhou had made an appointment on the phone.
After all, Zhou Shijie was the chairman of the Chef's Alliance. He had so many things to do every day, so he definitely had to make an appointment. Regarding this point, Yuan Zhou had always done so.
Zhong Lili came to pick up Yuan Zhou. "Boss Yuan, long time no see."
"Long time? Wasn't Secretary Zhong also there last time when there was real perfume? "Yuan Zhou asked.
The Chat Terminator — Yuan Zhou. Zhong Lili led the way in front of him silently and soon arrived at the chairman's office.
"Yuan, here you are." Zhou Shijie invited Yuan Zhou to sit down.
"Uncle Zhou, because the branch of the Huaxia Famous Chefs Alliance has just been established, I have three recommendation letters as the chairman, and I want to give one of them to you, chairman." Yuan Zhou said, "And with your ability and culinary skills, I want to invite you to take an important position in the association."
"There are vice chairman and honorary chairman. So I come to ask for your opinion, Uncle Zhou," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly. In front of Zhou Shijie, there was no need to beat around the bush.
"That's great." Zhou Shijie didn't answer him first, but stood up from his seat and said, "Yuan, do you know that our Chef's Alliance has proposed to the headquarters of the Famous Chefs Alliance several times to separate China from the Asian branch?"
"I don't know." Yuan Zhou shook his head.
"It has been seven times since I became the chairman of the Chef's Alliance." Zhou Shijie said, "The reason for the refusal of the headquarters of the Famous Chefs Alliance every time is very simple. The Chinese food culture is included in the Asian food culture. All the directors of the headquarters think it is unnecessary to separate it."
"It is unnecessary." Zhou Shijie repeated and then smiled. "In this aspect, we can't compare with Japan."
The Global Chef's Alliance was not an official organization, but it was a giant in the circle of chefs. This kind of organization was the most difficult to deal with.
If one wanted something to be recognized by everyone, one had to follow the existing rules when all the cards were reshuffled. Seven times didn't sound many, but it was really hard to imagine how much effort Zhou Shijie had made for it. Moreover, Zhou Shijie wasn't the first chairman of the Chef's Alliance. There were other chairmen who had also made such efforts.
"Uncle Zhou, it has been listed now." Yuan Zhou felt that Zhou Shijie's tone was a little sad, so he comforted him.
"That's right. Yuan, you have done a great thing for our Chinese culinary circle." Zhou Shijie patted Yuan Zhou's shoulder.
Yuan Zhou could feel that Zhou Shijie was very happy.
"You don't need to be the vice chairman. I have too many things to deal with in the Chef's Alliance." Zhou Shijie said, "I can directly serve as the honorary chairman."
"Okay, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Have you chosen the other two recommendation letters?" Zhou Shijie asked with concern.
Yuan Zhou answered, "I am going to give them to Old Master Wang and Mr. Ma."
"Old Master Wang has no problem. Is Mr. Ma the inheritor of the Feast of the Elderly, Mr. Ma?" Zhou Shijie said.
Yuan Zhou was a little curious. "Uncle Zhou, do you know Mr. Ma?"
"The domestic chefs' circle is not big, and there are only a few capable people. Of course, I know them. If it's Mr. Ma, it's not a problem. But I don't think it's easy for him to invite him," Zhou Shijie said.
"I will find time to visit him," Yuan Zhou said, "Uncle Zhou, do you have any list to recommend?"
Zhou Shijie mentioned two names, which were quite strange to Yuan Zhou.
"These two old guys were very famous in our era. But they are a little eccentric, so they are not famous now," Zhou Shijie explained.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou thanked him.
Looking at the back of Yuan Zhou, Zhou Shijie couldn't help laughing. "Our Chinese food culture is going to flourish. It's going to flourish. Hahaha."
Looking at the back of Yuan Zhou, Zhou Shijie couldn't help laughing. "Our Chinese food culture is going to flourish. It's going to flourish. Hahaha."
Since he knew Yuan Zhou and saw Yuan Zhou's potential, Zhou Shijie cherished talents and had been protecting Yuan Zhou. A chef's growth period was 20 years, and a genius chef's growth period was 10 or 5 years.
Of course, 5 or 10 years referred to one of the cuisines, not many.
However, Zhou Shijie didn't expect that Yuan Zhou would only spend less than 4 years to achieve what he had today.
Not to mention anything else, Yuan Zhou was the most famous chef in the entire Asian culinary circle. It was only a matter of time before he rushed out of Asia.
Just as Zhou Shijie said, the Chinese food culture was going to flourish!!
After the matter was settled, Yuan Zhou returned to the restaurant. Dinner time was bustling again. With Wuhai around, the atmosphere was always good.
During dinner time, Wu Lin gave a gift to Yuan Zhou. It was a jade pendant. According to Wu Lin, she got it from the market after her mission in Dian Province.
Although the jade wasn't very expensive, it was very lucky. So, after Wu Lin polished it, she gave it to Yuan Zhou to thank Yuan Zhou for taking care of Wuhai.
"Taking care of Wuhai …" Yuan Zhou thought for a while and felt that he could accept this gift.
Everything went smoothly on Yuan Zhou's side. His other half, Yin Ya, was also doing well.
Because Yin Ya's efforts were paid off. For example, the vice director of the secretary's office had started to train her.
Needless to say, it was basically confirmed that Yin Ya would be promoted to vice director at the end of the year.
So, Yin Ya also started to get familiar with the vice director of the secretary's office, Mo Yu. Although the name Mo Yu sounded a little masculine, she was actually a beautiful, elegant, and dignified middle-aged beauty.
Why was she called a beauty? Although Mo Yu was over 40 years old, she was still unmarried. So, she was still a middle-aged beauty.
Because of their familiarity, Mo Yu finally knew that Yin Ya's boyfriend was Yuan Zhou. She also knew that Yuan Zhou could order 5 packs of beer per person in the pub.
After knowing this, Mo Yu couldn't wait to call Yin Ya to draw lots and prepare to drink.
Yes, Mo Yu was a person who loved alcohol very much. As for why she never went to Yuan Zhou's pub for a drink, it was very simple.
In Mo Yu's words, "The alcohol in Boss Yuan's pub isn't even enough for me to drink a mouthful. No matter how good it is, it's not even enough to quench my thirst."
Because of this, Mo Yu didn't want to go to Yuan Zhou's pub for a drink. Now that she knew that they could order 5 packs of beer, she naturally couldn't help herself.
A pot of bamboo liquor and 5 packs of beer were enough to quench her throat. Of course, this was also what Mo Yu said.
"Even if you bring me to Compass's, I won't let you order more beer." Yin Ya sighed helplessly.
"We agreed that you don't need to call me Leader Mo after work. Just call me Sister Mo," Mo Yu turned her head and corrected her seriously.
"Yes, yes, yes, Sister Mo. Everything I said is true. That guy is really Compass and won't make an exception," Yin Ya still had a sweet expression on her face when speaking of Yuan Zhou, but she didn't forget to introduce Yuan Zhou's nickname.
"Even your words don't work?" Mo Yu asked.
"Um, yeah. I have told you that Boss Yuan is like a compass. During business hours, nobody can change his words." Yin Ya nodded her head earnestly. "Yeah.
"Little girl, haven't you tried to act coquettishly?" Mo Yu teased.
"Sister Mo," Yin Ya blushed and said shyly and angrily.
"Okay, okay, I got it. Didn't I bring my own liquor? I won't make things difficult for you," Sister Mo raised the liquor gift box in her hand and said.
"Thank you, Sister Mo," Yin Ya said.
"You're welcome. I shouldn't have said that to you. It's good that you two are like this. Since you can understand and respect his rules, it shows that you two are a good match," Sister Mo said with a smile.
This time, Yin Ya really blushed. Because it was the first time that someone had said so bluntly that she and Yuan Zhou had the same three outlooks and were a perfect match for each other.
"Let's make this clear first. You can eat the side dishes and I will drink the liquor," Sister Mo instructed before stepping into the restaurant.
"Don't worry. I won't snatch your liquor," Yin Ya nodded her head.
"Um, let's go," Mo Yu said.
Mo Yu was wearing a navy blue suit and short skirt as he walked in front, revealing his slender and fair legs. He had a mature charm about him and a faint smile on his face, giving off a friendly and amiable feeling.
Yin Ya, on the other hand, walked at the back of Mo Yu in a black tight skirt. Her high heels knocked on the ground, producing a pleasant sound. Compared to the faint smile on Mo Yu's face, she looked more solemn. However, her pretty face also made her look extremely beautiful.
In short, two beauties, one big and one small, walked into Yuanzhou Shop.
Since Mo Yu had made an appointment with Yin Ya long ago, Yin Ya naturally told Yuan Zhou in advance that she would come to the pub. Therefore, as soon as they entered the restaurant, they saw Yuan Zhou standing ramrod straight behind the long curved table.
