Good popularity? Yuan Zhou thought for a while. Maybe his handsome face had spread all over the country and reached the point where both men and women were attracted to him.
In fact, the real reason was not as complicated as Yuan Zhou thought. Almost all the eight major cuisines had a copy of the communication with the masters and were used as teaching files, which were very useful.
After seeing Yuan Zhou's work, it was very normal to return the favor.
"Since there are no problems, sign this contract," Zhou Shijie said. Zhong Lili took out the contract and put it in front of Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou looked at the contract subconsciously. It was not that he did not trust Zhou Shijie, but it was just a subconscious habit.
Because the chief consultant of the state banquet had a salary, the country would not let you work for free. The contract mainly wrote some precautions and confidentiality matters.
For example, one of the conditions was not to raise the price of the dish by using the reputation of the "state banquet dish".
For example, after the state banquet, you could sell the dish you cooked at the state banquet in your own restaurant. This dish was originally sold at 70 RMB, but because of the title of the state banquet, it was sold at 180 RMB. This kind of price increase was not allowed.
There were two copies of the contract, one for each.
After signing, he gave the two copies to Zhong Lili first because he had to return them to the management to sign first and then give them to Yuan Zhou.
"Since Yuan opened your restaurant on Taoxi Road, there have been more and more activities here, and the invited guests are often international level." Zhou Shijie sighed. "First, it was your personal cooking exhibition, then Chu Xiao's upcoming second personal exhibition, whole cow roast, the exchange meeting, and then the high groove meeting."
Yuan Zhou had a feeling that everything the chairman said was related to him somehow …
"I still have something to do in the association, so I'll leave first." Zhou Shijie stood up.
"Uncle Zhou, take care." Yuan Zhou walked Zhou Shijie to the end of the street.
Because it was still within the range of the discount chicken soup with red dates, there would be more guests, so Yuan Zhou would prepare the ingredients in advance.
On the other side, the first exhibition of the Painting God's Hut had ended, so Wuhai also left. After all, it wouldn't be good if he bumped into something.
Wu Hai was sitting in a cafe near the gallery in a daze, and Feng Ti followed him.
"Mr. Wu, can you tell me which artist you admire the most?" After Feng Ti was subdued by the Monster Eating Picture, she no longer treated Wuhai as an opponent. Once she realized the difference between them, she treated Wuhai as the direction in which she could improve. It was precisely because of this that she asked this question.
To this question, Wuhai blurted out, "Yuan Zhou."
"Yuanzhou?" Feng Ti couldn't figure out which painter that was.
"Don't tell me you don't even know Yuan Zhou?" Wuhai looked at Feng Ti as if he was looking at an idiot. The two of them conversed in English.
Feng Ti's expression tightened and her brain worked quickly, but unfortunately, she still couldn't find the painter in her mind. However, who was Feng Ti? She would never admit defeat, so she opened her mouth and said, "Of course I know the painter Yuanzhou. He is a relatively small painter. I didn't expect that Mr. Wu would like this painter."
Wuhai directly turned his head to the back of Feng Ti's head. He didn't want to talk to this idiot.
Just when the reporter was about to finish the interview, Feng Ti learned from someone that the Yuan Zhou that Wuhai admired the most was actually that famous chef.
As a matter of fact, this great chef had been introduced when the painting was unveiled. Moreover, Bai Na told her that Yuan Zhou was Wuhai's best friend. Therefore, it was absolutely no problem for Wu Hai to let his best friend help to unveil the painting.
Feng Ti didn't really care about the food. Besides, it was hard to remember the pronunciation of Chinese names. Most importantly, Feng Ti had thought of many possibilities about who Wuhai admired the most. The famous Three Heroes of Holland or the several masters of the post-impressionism era. However, she really didn't think about the culinary skills.
It was like asking your goddess who she liked the most and then she said a name. As a bootlicker, you didn't know who that person was. Therefore, you kept looking for it. Never would you have thought that the name the goddess said was a cat in her house.
It wasn't a matter of not paying attention to it. It was a matter of not thinking about it at all.
Thinking of her behavior and words just now, Feng Ti really wanted to crawl into the ground even if there was a crack. However, Feng Ti was more curious about why the person he admired the most was a chef.
As a Frenchman, Feng Ti's status as a French chef was extremely high in France. However, he couldn't be called an artist. Anyway, that was how Feng Ti saw him.
Therefore, with a strong desire for knowledge, Feng Ti directly asked Wuhai about it.
"Mr. Wu, why is Head Chef Yuan Zhou the artist you admire the most?" Feng Ti specially mentioned the word "head chef".
Originally, Wuhai didn't want to talk to the staff in case his intelligence would be lowered. However, the topic was related to Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he still spoke reluctantly.
"Which artist do you admire the most?" Wuhai took a glance at Feng Ti and asked back.
"Paul Cezanne. I think the color vision of all the modern paintings is following the footsteps of Paul Cezanne. He deserves the title of the father of modern painting." From Feng Ti's words, it could be seen that she admired Cezanne very much.
Actually, it was quite normal to like Cezanne. Those who studied painting had a high probability of liking Cezanne because this guy was also an out-and-out genius.
"To put it simply, you think Cezanne painted well and made a great contribution to the painting world. Can I sum it up in this way?" Wuhai said straightforwardly.
Feng Ti opened her mouth and wanted to add something. In the end, she found it was very perfect and there was nothing to add.
Wuhai said, "Actually, the principle is the same. The dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou are all good from the tableware to the color. Moreover, his focused attitude is also the goal of my learning. Therefore, he is the artist I admire the most. Is there any problem?"
"No." Feng Ti was convinced.
Wu Hai said mysteriously, "Moreover, I can secretly tell you a piece of information."
"What is it, Mr. Wu?" Feng Ti's curiosity was aroused.
"I cooperated with Yuan Zhou on a very shocking work of art. It will be auctioned in an auction house," Wuhai said.
Feng Ti's first reaction was to ask, "How is it compared to the Monster Eating Painting?" He didn't ask which auction house it was. It was Wuhai's work and he would definitely publicize it during the auction. He would know it by then.
"It's very good," Wuhai said resolutely.
Even better? Looking at the earnest look on Wuhai's face, Feng Ti didn't know what to say anymore.
She was imagining what kind of work of art it would be if it was even better. When Feng Ti came back to his senses, Wuhai had already disappeared.
"I must go to Mr. Yuan Zhou's place to have a meal," Feng Ti thought. It didn't matter if the taste was good or not. He wanted to order the most beautiful dishes!
