"Boss, someone is looking for you." Su Ruoyan saw two foreigners walking over from afar.
Having been here for many times, Su Ruoyan knew that the two people were probably looking for Yuan Zhou for something. Therefore, she hurriedly shouted towards the restaurant to avoid delaying Yuan Zhou's important business.
Yuan Zhou was packing up the ingredients in the restaurant and preparing to cook a serving of Assorted Fried Rice for himself. He nodded to Su Ruoyan to indicate that he understood and then stopped his action of returning to the restaurant.
Soon, the two came to Yuan Zhou. They were Gauss and Ogyust.
"It's rude of us to visit you out of the blue," Gauss said, and Ogyust echoed.
"Mr. Gauss and Mr. Ogyust, what can I do for you?" Yuan Zhou asked. Two chefs came together, so there must be something important.
"It's about the translation of Chinese dishes." Gauss went straight to the point. "Chairman Ogyust and I discussed it and perfected the idea yesterday. We think we can publish a dictionary in both French and English."
"It's easy to create a few words, but it's still too different from the variety of Chinese dishes. So, Chairman Ogyust and I agreed to publish a special dictionary," Gauss said.
Ogyust added, "A special dictionary can have more information about each word. After it's published, we can promote it in the name of the World Chefs Union. Don't worry about the publicity."
For example, if the word stinky tofu was put into the French and English dictionaries, it would not have a long introduction. But a special dictionary could explain how to make stinky tofu in one or two pages. This word would represent this Chinese delicacy.
Gauss and Ogyust didn't say anything. As Yuan Zhou became famous in Europe and the United States, the special dictionary would also become more famous.
"Yuan, what do you think?" Gauss and Ogyust looked at Yuan Zhou.
"Mr. Gauss and Mr. Ogyust are very thoughtful. I think it's a good idea." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and couldn't think of a better idea.
Yuan Zhou said, "Mr. Gauss and Mr. Ogyust are really thoughtful."
"Letting Europeans and Americans know more about exotic cuisine is also the purpose of our Famous Chefs Alliance." Gauss said, "Isn't that right, President?"
Ogyust nodded and continued, "Because this dictionary was written based on your Chinese cuisine, Gauss and I named it 'Yuan Dictionary'."
"Um … would it be easier to understand if it's called 'The Dictionary of Chinese Cuisine'?" Yuan Zhou asked.
Auguste and Gauss smiled. At the same time, they had a higher opinion of Yuan Zhou's personality.
The ultimate goal of a chef is art. This is the goal of French cuisine, and the common wish of all artists is to leave their name in history, regardless of whether they are Chinese or foreign.
The Yuan Dictionary was reviewed by Yuan Zhou, Ogyust, and Gauss, so its professionalism was unquestionable.
With the rise of China's international reputation, the status of Chinese cuisine would also increase. It was foreseeable that such a dictionary would leave its name in history.
If Gauss and Ogyust were in their shoes, they would have agreed without hesitation if they had such an opportunity. They wouldn't have hesitated like Yuan Zhou and considered it more suitable.
"Yuan, maybe you haven't been in Europe for a long time, so there are some things that you don't know." Ogyust explained, "Actually, there are many chefs in Europe and America who are interested in Chinese cuisine. For example, Jack, the chef who created Oriental French cuisine, wrote a book called 'The French Talk about Chinese Cuisine'."
Strictly speaking, Jack, who was in his forties, was already a famous chef. However, in the eyes of Ogyust and Gauss, he was still far behind.
"Chairman Ogyust wants to say that there are books about Chinese cuisine in France, but they have very little influence." Gauss said, "If it's called 'The Dictionary of Chinese Cuisine', then chefs who aren't interested in Chinese cuisine and the public won't read it. This way, the promotion effect won't be good."
"Instead, we can call it 'Yuan Dictionary'. We can add a subtitle, 'The Dictionary of Chinese Cuisine'. That way, the Bogus World Cooking Competition champion and the leader of the China-France Exchange Team will increase your reputation. It can promote the dictionary and attract chefs and the public who aren't interested in Chinese cuisine to buy it," Gauss said.
On hearing that, Yuan Zhou nodded his head. It was indeed Yuan Zhou who had neglected this aspect.
After discussing the title, genre, and theme of the book, they started to plan the content.
The first book, 'Yuan Dictionary', was mainly about Sichuan cuisine. Gauss and Ogyust had discussed it. Since it was called 'Yuan Dictionary', it should be translated according to the order of the menu of the Kitchen God.
In the future, two of the three most important books about the Chef Yuan Zhou and the Kitchen God had been published.
Dashi Xiujie had recorded and compiled 'Grandmaster's Quotations' and 'Yuan Dictionary'. The last one was published after Yuan Zhou's second cooking exhibition.
Although Yuan Zhou's second cooking exhibition was also held in Chengdu, it was about Western cuisine. The whole Western food industry in Europe and America was crying wolf.
Yuan Zhou's second cooking exhibition became an indelible peak of Western cuisine. As for how many points it scored and how shocking it was, it was not revealed yet.
In any case, after it shocked Europe and America, two biographers wrote 'The Biography of Yuan Zhou'. These two were already famous biographers themselves. One was from China, and the other was from England.
This time, the two of them worked together to write 'The Biography of Yuan Zhou'. In terms of artistic achievement, it could even be compared to 'The Biography of Abraham Lincoln' and 'The Biography of Peter the Great'.
Back to the main topic, the discussion soon passed. Gauss and Ogyust left. They first had to translate some of the more classic dishes in Sichuan cuisine, such as Mapo Tofu, Sichuan Boiled Fish, Spicy Chicken …
"I'm busy again. It's been two days since I last practiced my knife skills."
Yuan Zhou let out a sigh. Although time was like a sponge that would always have some after being squeezed, his schedule was quite full.
In the afternoon, he had to go to Carpenter Lian to carve chess pieces and chessboards. He also had to submit the participation form for the World Cooking Competition.
Lastly, about the China-France Exchange, Chairman Zhou and Marisello would call him from time to time. The first exchange would also be held today.
The exchange was originally thought of by Yuan Zhou to complete the first master mission, but he didn't expect the mission to progress to the second before the first one was held.
Even so, he couldn't give up halfway.
Of course, although it was so busy, The Kitchen God didn't panic at all.
During business hours, whenever people entered the restaurant, they would be able to see Yuan Zhou's tranquil cooking.
This might also be the reason why Song An, the boxer, would always come to Master Chef Little Restaurant after his boxing matches.
Because of peace of mind.
"Then I'll use the one hour before bedtime to read and half an hour to practice my knife skills." Yuan Zhou planned in his heart.
Strictly speaking, Yuan Zhou, who had two knife skills, the Crossing of Three Beasts and the Butcher Dismembering a Bull, could be said to have reached the peak of knife skills. However, even when he had no time, he still made time to practice his knife skills. This was what it meant to be diligent.
Hmm … It seemed that Yuan Zhou, who was recognized as a genius by the system, wasn't stupid either.
Then, Yuan Zhou explained another sentence: People who are better than you are also more diligent than you.
Today was a rainy day. The diligent people still had to sell barbecue, but the lazy people had already gone to sleep. There were also foodies sandwiched between the lazy and diligent people. They were already lined up.
