When he was a child, he often wrote that time was like a small carriage, moving forward and never looking back.
It had been two months since Yuan Zhou became the chief consultant of the state banquet. During this period, the menu of the state banquet had been drawn up three times.
Originally, the four chefs of the state banquet all agreed on the second time, but Yuan Zhou thought that there were some problems with the nutrition of the dishes, so he drew up the third time.
Strictly speaking, Yuan Zhou didn't have to mention it, but he had always been in charge of his own affairs, so he would not be careless.
Mr. Ma, Chairman Zhou, Old Master Wang, Zhuo Guodong, and Chu Xiao of the Huaxia branch of the World Chefs Federation were included.
Zhuo Guodong was recommended by Yuan Zhou with the help of Chu Xiao's recommendation. He was a master of Anhui cuisine and was known as the first chef of Chinatown in the US in the 1990s.
However, he had retired from the cooking circle in the millennium. It was thanks to Mr. Ma that Zhuo Guodong could be invited this time.
Yuan Zhou held the first "chairman" meeting of the Huaxia branch of the World Chefs Federation and drafted a document — "Huaxia Excellent Chef Plan".
There was a school in France called Le Cordon Bleu International, which specialized in Western cuisine. Yuan Zhou's plan was to increase the communication between Le Cordon Bleu and other gourmet organizations.
Yuan Zhou accepted the invitation of Ogyust to be the chairman of the branch in order to improve the international status of Chinese chefs and get more benefits.
In addition, Chu Xiao's personal cooking exhibition was also held in Chengdu. With Chu Xiao's reputation in the circle, especially in French cuisine, almost all the famous French chefs were invited.
Although it was not as grand as Yuan Zhou's, it was still an unprecedented grand occasion. Chu Xiao showed his superb skills. In Yuan Zhou's words, "Compared with last year, Chu Xiao, your cooking has really improved by leaps and bounds."
Having gotten Yuan Zhou's affirmation, Chu Xiao's face that had always been full of confidence also revealed a rare nervous and happy smile.
The reason why Chu Xiao was happy was very simple. It was because Yuan Zhou was very strict and never praised people.
The reason why Chu Xiao's solo exhibition was ignored was that his final score did not surpass Yuan Zhou's.
As for those who didn't exceed it, they were all disregarded.
Back to The Kitchen God, who always opened on time, it was 9: 30 in the morning. It was not time to line up for lunch yet.
However, it was impossible for Taoxi Road to be deserted. Not to mention the tourists and diners, even the diners of The Kitchen God were different.
"Wang Hong, what are you doing here?" Zhou Xi couldn't help but ask when he saw Wang Hong sneaking around.
"What are you here for? What am I here for?" Wang Hong chuckled, giving her a knowing look.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. The atmosphere was filled with treachery.
Apart from them, Ma Zida, Zong Mo, Jiang Changxi, Meng Meng, Zhao YIngjun, Cao Mi, and others were all sneaking around behind them.
"Do you think the silly son of the Fang family will succeed this time?" Ma Zida asked curiously.
"What silly son of the Fang family? Your title is too insulting." Zhao YIngjun rebuked him righteously and then said, "I don't think Fang Er will succeed."
"I feel that Brother Fang is only good at cooking dishes that go well with wine. He can't do anything else," Cao Mi said in a low voice.
Cao Mi was a young man in his twenties. He was a friend from Inner Mongolia. As the saying went, not all the people from Tianjin could play the allegro, but all the men from Inner Mongolia could really drink.
Not only could he drink, but he also liked to drink. He came to Chengdu last month just for drinking. Once he drank the bamboo liquor, he planned to settle down in Chenghua District temporarily.
In their area, Cao Mi was nicknamed the Wolf of Wine. Hmm … there was something wrong with the name, but don't worry about the details. Cao Mi, the Wolf of Wine, was a name that came from drinking bowl after bowl.
"If Fang Heng hears what you said, he won't serve you any dishes that go well with wine," Ma Zida said.
Cao Mi suddenly shivered. He said, "Actually, I feel that you and Brother Fang are a good match. Really."
That's right. This group of regulars were sneaking around to watch Fang Heng and Zheng Xian confess their love.
They didn't know when Fang Heng fell in love with Zheng Xian, who was four years older than him, and then he confessed to her openly and secretly.
Zheng Xian was either terrified or changed the topic to fool them. Anyway, Fang Heng's several attacks ended in vain.
The regulars around saw Fang Heng's lame "implied confession", so they called Fang Er Lenzi.
It should be known that there were only two people who were given the title "Er Lenzi" in The Kitchen God — Er Lenzi Chu and Er Lenzi Fang.
Although he had failed many times, Fang Heng was not discouraged because he was a simpleton. Even if he hit a wall, he would not turn back. Therefore, Fang Heng bought 188 roses and prepared to make a big wave to formally confess his love.
"I didn't expect the Queen and Uncle Zong to be interested in this matter," Mengmeng said.
Mengmeng felt that it was normal for other people to come to gossip, but Jiang Changxi and Zong Mo, the former was an energetic female president who was extremely busy, and the latter was a steady and mature uncle, specially came to see Fang Heng confess his love. She felt strange.
"It's women's nature to gossip," Jiang Changxi replied.
Even though Jiang Changxi was hiding her body and looking sneaky, she still had the temperament of a domineering president.
Mengmeng nodded and looked at Zong Mo.
Zong Mo opened the photo album on his mobile phone and said, "This is the scene of my friend's confession last year. This is the scene of my childhood friend's confession last month. This is the scene of one of my customers' proposals …"
He spoke very fast. Mengmeng was stunned. Zong Mo proved with facts that he liked this kind of scene the most.
"I've been taking photos since I was a teenager." After showing the photos, Zong Mo put his mobile phone back into his pocket and continued to wait.
When Mengmeng saw that there were a total of 14587 photos, she instantly felt her scalp go numb. She was convinced.
In fact, not only Mengmeng, but Ma Zida and the others present were also stunned by Zong Mo's move.
"Uncle Zong, why did you take photos of proposals and confessions?" Mengmeng asked curiously. All the friends were waiting for Zong Mo's answer.
"There are two reasons." Zong Mo also answered very cooperatively, "The first reason is that I feel that the moment of confession and proposal is the most loving moment of two people. I want to save it. If two people break up or divorce for various reasons in the future, I'll have a chance to show these photos to them."
Mengmeng said, "They won't break up after seeing the photos?"
"How is that possible? It's not a TV series. A breakup or divorce is a relationship that has problems and has come to an end. It's impossible for it to change because of the photos. It's just that when they see the photos, they will ponder for a long time." Zong Mo said, "I guess they should be thinking that they used to love each other so much. Why don't they love each other now?"
"There's another reason. I did something when I was young. I feel that I won't be happy for the rest of my life, so I want to preserve the happiness of others," Zong Mo said.
"Won't be happy for the rest of my life?" These words sounded like what those young boys and girls said, but Zong Mo said it very seriously. The most important thing was that Zong Mo was already an uncle. He should have passed the second stage of his life long ago, right?
"He's an uncle with a story," Mengmeng muttered.
The atmosphere instantly fell into a stalemate. Everyone did not know how to respond to Zong Mo's words.
"Coming."
With Jiang Changxi's reminder, everyone's attention shifted to Fang Heng and Zheng Xian in front of them.
