"Okay," Zhang Yan answered and then said something else, "Mr. Wang is going to stay in Chengdu for a while."
"Huh?" Yuan Zhou didn't know about this, so he asked curiously, "How long will it be?"
"Yesterday, right after the Huai Dao Banquet ended, Mr. Wang announced that his eldest son, Wang Mingjie, would be the chairman of the Huai Dao Cuisine Department. Then, I received a call from Mr. Wang saying that he would arrive in Chengdu today or tomorrow," Zhang Yan said in detail.
Zhang Yan was like the host in Sichuan. Since Wang Huai was going to stay in Chengdu temporarily, it was reasonable for him to inform the host.
The judges for this competition were Yuan Zhou, Fujiwara Jiayuan, and Zhang Yan, and Yuan Zhou was the leader of the judging group.
The competition system was ten points, so the leader couldn't give twenty points. The responsibility of the leader was to make a judgment in the case of a tie.
The exchange of young chefs was held in Chengdu. Although it wasn't Sichuan Cuisine, Zhang Yan was the chairman of the Sichuan Cuisine Association, so it wasn't a problem for him to be a judge.
Of course, in terms of international fame, Zhang Yan was the smallest. Besides, just like Zhou Shijie, Zhang Yan took good care of Yuan Zhou.
So, when Zhang Yan asked clearly that the scoring was based on his own subjective opinion, he took the initiative to call Fujiwara and tell him about it.
"I heard that Mr. Wang brought Head Chef Wang to perform the Lion Dance Tortoise Dance for you, Yuan?" Zhang Yan asked.
"Yes, Head Chef Mingjie's knife skills are also superb," Yuan Zhou said.
"That's right." Zhang Yan nodded on the other end of the phone. The reason why Wang Huai would come to Chengdu was most likely because of The Kitchen God. So, Zhang Yan told Yuan Zhou about it. Now, he was even more certain.
"How is Head Chef Wang's knife skills compared to your disciple, Engineer Cheng, Yuan?" Zhang Yan suddenly asked.
When it came to cooking, Yuan Zhou had always been a man of his word, so after a few seconds of silence, he replied, "It's not fair to compare him with Head Chef Mingjie."
What Yuan Zhou was implying was that Wang Mingjie had always been overshadowed by Wang Huai's cooking, so it was unfair.
However, when these words entered Zhang Yan's ears, the meaning was different.
"Very good. At the beginning, I thought you were the pride of Sichuan cuisine, Yuan. Now, it seems that you are the pride of the entire Chinese cuisine. But the key is that you are from Sichuan, not Lu. Hahaha." After that, Zhang Yan laughed complacently.
Zhou Shijie was from Lu Province. Seeing how smug Zhang Yan was, he wondered what kind of grudge there was between the two …
"The application for the route has been approved." Zhang Yan told Yuan Zhou another piece of good news over the phone.
Zhang Yan said in detail, "From now on, the airport bus route number six will go directly from the airport to the food court beside Taoxi Road."
Chengdu had a total of five airport bus routes. Other than one in Pi County, the other three were located at the train station and the bus terminal. The last one was located opposite Min Mountain Restaurant in the city center.
It was located there because it was close to the city center, and it was located beside Taoxi Road because it was convenient for tourists to come to The Kitchen God to check in.
Since the airport bus route was located to Taoxi Road, one could imagine the status of The Kitchen God.
"Thank you, Chairman Zhang. I understand." Yuan Zhou thanked him.
Zhang Yan was also a decisive person, so he hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
Looking at the phone, Yuan Zhou fell silent for a while. Then, he asked a question in a solemn tone in his heart, "System, am I the Son of Providence in the legend? The one who fought against five at the beginning of the game, the one who picked up the godly weapons anywhere, and the one who released his domineering aura and made everyone submit to him?"
The system was shocked by this sudden question. It remained silent for a full 10 minutes before it displayed a reply.
"How many dishes? You drank so much, "the system displayed.
"Only a plate of peanuts … Bah, bah. What the hell." Yuan Zhou was almost fooled by the system. He explained earnestly, "You see, I was just hesitating whether to ask for leave or not. Then, Master Wang came to Chengdu. In other words, I don't need to ask for leave anymore."
"This is no longer just pure good luck. After all, as far as I can remember, there are many cases like this." Yuan Zhou shouted in his heart, "So, needless to say, I must be the most beautiful one in the night sky."
The system displayed the words unhurriedly, "This can only prove that I have the attribute of a koi."
Yuan Zhou's excitement gradually subsided. He said, "System, why didn't you learn from the good ones? You've learned 100% of the shamelessness of the black beast."
The system displayed, "I didn't learn the shamelessness of the Wuhai. What I learned was the thick-skin of the host. After all, I haven't reached the level of the Wuhai."
"…" Yuan Zhou asked, "Is it interesting to hurt each other?"
The system fell silent. Yuan Zhou felt that the system should have realized its mistake and reflected on itself.
Since he didn't need to ask for leave, Yuan Zhou felt much happier. He began to restore the Tortoise Lion Dance in the kitchen. Actually, at his level of knife skills, unless it was the knife skill level in the ancient book, he would be able to master everything else.
"The degree of difficulty of the Tortoise Lion Dance is quite high. It will take me at least one week to master it completely." Yuan Zhou thought in his heart.
At about 3: 30 in the afternoon, Engineer Cheng came in a hurry. He first greeted his master, Yuan Zhou. Yuan Zhou nodded and then waited for the follow-up. After all, Engineer Cheng wouldn't come over if there was nothing important.
"I have one thing to report to you, master," said Engineer Cheng respectfully.
"What's the matter?"
Yuan Zhou put down the knife and asked. Never touch the knife when talking, never touch the knife when distracted, and never touch the knife when not focused. These were the three no-touching rules set by Grandpa Wang. Yuan Zhou felt it was very reasonable because Yuan Zhou had always done the same.
"Recently, Sichuan Province is selecting six outstanding representatives, which are the six fields of F&B, Economy, Literature, Music, Folklore, and Science and Technology," said Engineer Cheng. "A notice has just been issued. I will represent the F&B field."
Engineer Cheng briefly explained the award. It was a relatively important award, which was used to reward and support outstanding talents. Anyway, the representative would be selected from the six fields. When the time came, many aspects would be given the green light.
In the field of Science and Technology, he was the chief engineer of an electronics company. In the field of Literature, he was a famous writer from Sichuan. In the field of Music, he was not a singer or a star, but a professor from the piano department of Sichuan Conservatory of Music.
In the field of Folklore and Economy, the former was a famous scholar who studied folklore, while the latter was the founder of a large company.
"I think the F&B field should be you, master." Engineer Cheng stated his intention.
"Then why do you think the official selection is you as the F&B field representative of Sichuan Province?" Yuan Zhou responded.
"Uh …" Engineer Cheng was stupefied by the question. As soon as he received the news, he found that his master was not among the six candidates, so he hurriedly rushed over. He really didn't think about it carefully.
He only thought that his master was an international chef, a Sichuan native, and his restaurant had always been in Sichuan. Under such circumstances, it was reasonable to choose Yuan Zhou.
"You are the most suitable person for this position. Don't worry and receive the award." Yuan Zhou didn't explain and said directly.
"Yes, master." Although Engineer Cheng still had some doubts, it was definitely not wrong to listen to his master's words.
"Also, you can call me about these things in the future. The weather is too hot, so there's no need to specially come over." Yuan Zhou noticed that Engineer Cheng's forehead was covered with sweat and he was a little out of breath. Therefore, he said that.
"That won't do. Master's matters are all important. As your disciple, it's only right for me to make a trip. Besides, this is a form of respect for my master." Engineer Cheng shook his head and said.
"Really stubborn." Yuan Zhou ridiculed him inwardly.
But after thinking carefully, Yuan Zhou only knew how to deal with it. After all, Engineer Cheng attached great importance to etiquette, which could be said to be the same as his own rules.
"Master, if you don't have any other instructions, I'll go back first." Engineer Cheng always left as soon as he finished speaking and would never waste Yuan Zhou's time.
"How about the observation of Liao Yue and others?" Yuan Zhou asked with concern.
"The young chefs of the Green Chef Association are all talented chefs. They learn fast," Engineer Cheng said.
Yuan Zhou continued to ask, "That's good. Are you tired?"
"No, I'm not tired. It's my honor as your disciple to help share your burden." Engineer Cheng said earnestly.
After asking a few more details about the observation group of the Green Chef Association, they ended the conversation. Then, Engineer Cheng left.
"What a coincidence. I was just about to send the photo to them." Yuan Zhou put away the knives and muttered inwardly.
That's right. Yuan Zhou actually knew about the activity mentioned by Engineer Cheng last night.
The Sichuan government wanted to select six representatives from different fields, but Yuan Zhou was not one of them. He had received a call last night that he was chosen as the "Most Outstanding Representative of Sichuan".
That's right. Above the six representatives, there was one more "Most Outstanding Representative". As it was an official selection, it wasn't publicized. Therefore, even Zhao Mei didn't know about it.
Besides, the government also hoped that Yuan Zhou could send a photo to promote the activity.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhou had taken a set of professional photos when he was promoting the activity in Home Kitchen.
After some selection, Yuan Zhou sent a low-key and steady photo to the staff.
In less than one minute, the staff replied, [Sorry for troubling you, Head Chef Yuan. The photo is very good. ]
"Um. In this case, Zhao Mei and I each took one award. Our teacher and disciple are quite powerful." Yuan Zhou smiled contentedly.
He went back to the second floor to wash his face and hands. Then, he started to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
During dinner time, Wang Hong came early and was the first to arrive at the restaurant with Wu Hai.
Then, the first thing that Wang Hong said to Su Ruoyan was, "I want a serving of fried pork tenderloin and fruit pancake."
Su Ruoyan answered, "These two dishes aren't on the menu. Besides, these are street snacks …"
Mao Ye had naturally told Su Ruoyan that street snacks were available for supper. Besides, in order to be a good employee, Su Ruoyan had memorized the thick menu of The Kitchen God.
"I didn't order street snacks. I ordered the fried pork tenderloin from Shandong Cuisine and the fruit pancake from Tianjin Cuisine …" Before Wang Hong could finish his words, he was stupefied.
When he went back last night, he still wanted to eat the fried pork tenderloin and fruit pancake, so he went to the snack street.
There weren't many things in Chengdu at night, but there were too many snacks. He bought a lot of snacks, but none of them were as delicious as the sesame seeds on the fruit pancake made by Yuan Zhou.
He went home dejectedly and suddenly remembered that he could order the fried pork tenderloin and fruit pancake. Then, Wang Hong looked it up and found that one of them belonged to Tianjin Cuisine and the other belonged to Shandong Cuisine. So, tonight, Wang Hong came to the restaurant excitedly.
It wasn't until just now that Wang Hong came back to his senses. The Kitchen God hadn't served Tianjin Cuisine and Shandong Cuisine yet.
"Then I want a serving of plain white rice from the 100 Styles of Rice Cuisine, Kung Pao Chicken, and a serving of Mapo Tofu." After ordering, Wang Hong paid the money with his Alipay. Because there were no fruit pancake and fried pork tenderloin, Wang Hong was still in a low mood.
"Wang Hong, don't be discouraged. I also often come up with some ideas that I think are very good, but in fact, they are full of loopholes. It's very normal." Having just ordered the dishes, Wuhai unexpectedly comforted Wang Hong. This was really a rare thing.
"Even a smart person like me can make such a mistake. With your IQ, it's very normal." Wuhai comforted him. Hearing that, Wang Hong really wanted to beat him to death.
As expected, after hearing that, Wang Hong didn't want to order the fruit pancake and fried pork tenderloin anymore. Now, he wanted to crush Wuhai to death.
What right did the Wu Beast have to say that he had a problem with his IQ? Just when Wang Hong wanted to refute loudly, he heard Wuhai say, "There are many customers in this restaurant. Don't disturb others."
This one sentence made Wang Hong swallow what he wanted to say. Wang Hong could only write it down in a small notebook in his heart, planning to talk about it after the meal.
"This is the consequence of being heartless!" Wuhai laughed mischievously. He was very happy that he had completed his revenge.
That's right, he had said those words to make Wang Hong speechless. After all, when it came to eating, the Wu Beast was really serious.
In general, it was very childish.
After dinner, after the customers and Su Ruoyan left, Wuhai touched his mustache and mysteriously went to look for Yuan Zhou.
"Compass, don't tell me it's something good. I wasn't thinking of you," Wuhai said.
"Yes, what is it?" Yuan Zhou's tone was flat.
Wuhai asked, "Are you going to the sky?"
This sudden question made Yuan Zhou unable to hold back and burst out, "What?"
"Up in the sky, in a helicopter," Wuhai said.
Only then did Yuan Zhou secretly retract his expression and return to his calm state. He asked, "Why are you going up in the sky? Is the ground not enough for you?"
"Overlooking The Kitchen God. Compass, don't you want to look down from the sky?" Wuhai said.
Hearing this, Yuan Zhou was a little interested. He also wanted to see Taoxi Road from the sky.
Yuan Zhou asked, "When are we going to the sky?"
"Tonight. Yesterday, Jiawei booked a helicopter for me. Do you want to go?" Wuhai said.
"Go. Let me handle the matter of the pub first," Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"No problem. Jiawei is waiting for us at the end of the street. I still need to go back to get something. We will meet at the end of the street later." After saying that, Wuhai ran away. However, he didn't say when they would meet. Yuan Zhou called out to the Wu Beast several times, but it didn't hear him.
This was really true. However, Yuan Zhou still had to settle the matter. Mao Ye would usually come more than 20 minutes in advance. Today was no exception.
Yuan Zhou told Mao Ye about the matter.
"Boss, don't worry. I can handle the pub alone." Mao Ye immediately clenched his fist.
Yuan Zhou nodded. Fortunately, it wasn't raining today. Otherwise, there would be nothing he could do. After that, Yuan Zhou unlocked his phone and was about to ask for the gathering time. Then, he found that Zheng Jiawei had sent him the gathering time, the exact location, the car plate number and the color of the car.
The gathering place was not at the end of the street, but at the fourth parking lot. It was almost time. Yuan Zhou went upstairs and changed into plain clothes. After informing Mao Ye, he walked towards the fourth parking lot.
It took about ten minutes to walk. Yuan Zhou walked fast, so he arrived at the fourth parking lot in about seven minutes.
He saw Zheng Jiawei and Wu Lin standing beside the car waiting for him.
"Boss Yuan, good evening, Boss Yuan," Wu Lin and Zheng Jiawei greeted.
"Sorry to trouble you today, Jiawei," Yuan Zhou said.
Zheng Jiawei said, "It's no trouble. The helicopter I rented is quite big. It won't be a problem."
The helicopter was flying, and the procedures were all in order.
"Xiaohai isn't here yet, so we can only wait for him," Zheng Jiawei said.
"Okay," Yuan Zhou nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something. Would Wuhai get lost from Taoxi Road to here?
Then, he thought that Zheng Jiawei would never leave any loopholes, so he must have made some arrangements for Wuhai to find him.
About five minutes later, Wuhai ran over with a small bag on his back.
"Jiawei, the map you prepared is really useful. I found my way here easily. By the way, I also brought my tape recorder, and the necessary oranges and mangoes," Wuhai reported what he brought.
Hmm … He didn't bring a notebook, pen, or drawing board, but oranges and mangoes? Yuan Zhou didn't understand what was going on.
What he didn't understand the most was why did Zheng Jiawei draw a map for Wuhai? Wuhai even found it?!
