With so many people here, time passed very quickly.
With a senior like Wang Huai around, it was naturally not Yuan Zhou's turn to become famous. After giving a simple answer to the interview of Master Chef, it was almost time. Yuan Zhou had to rush back to Taoxi Road to prepare for the dinner service.
Then, Liu Li, Wan Li, and Engineer Cheng followed him out.
"No need to see me off. Liu Li, you are the head chef. You can't slack off." Yuan Zhou said to Liu Li. Then, he looked at Engineer Cheng and said, "Zhao Mei, talk to Chairman Zhang more often when you have time."
"Take care, Head Chef Yuan," Liu Li said.
Engineer Cheng also asked, "Master, you really don't need me to send you back first? It's the same for me to come here after I send you back. "
"I …" Liu Li was about to say, "Me too." But he felt the cold eyes beside him, so he swallowed the words back.
"No need," Yuan Zhou refused and said, "I can discuss the association with Wan Li in the car. You go do your own thing."
Since he had said that, no one could say anything more. Liu Li and Engineer Cheng watched the car carrying Yuan Zhou leave. They didn't return to the restaurant until it disappeared from their sight.
Qin Kaili sent the list of young Japanese chefs to Wan Li through her phone, and Wan Li transferred it to Yuan Zhou.
There were so many people. Yuan Zhou roughly looked at the list and found there were more than 300 people. Actually, it was because Yuan Zhou was too famous now. Young chefs from Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia, and other countries also applied. But the number of people from Japan was obviously twice that of Dashi Xiujie. He had to admit that Dashi Xiujie was really awesome.
In this world, there were only two kinds of people. One was Yuan Chui, and the other was those who were about to become Yuan Chui after seeing Yuan Zhou's cooking.
Finally, Yuan Zhou decided not to approve the application of young foreign chefs for the time being. Because if the association took too big a step forward, it would easily become fragmented.
Wan Li, Liao Yue, and Qin Kaili didn't have any objection to Yuan Zhou's decision, so it was decided.
After the first issue was settled, it was time for the second issue. The official Weibo of the Green Chefs Association was full of inquiries about when the Second International Youth Chef Competition would be held. Young chefs from various countries were also full of energy.
These young foreign chefs didn't know a word of Chinese. After climbing over the wall, they spent a long time to register an account, and then they had to translate their own language into Chinese before leaving a message. It was really not easy.
As for why they were willing to spend so much effort to leave messages, it was because it was profitable. All their motives were nothing more than fame and fortune. The first International Youth Chef Competition was very successful. Looking at Dashi Xiujie and Ke Sen, it could be said that they had gained great fame.
It is said that some foreign chefs have begun to learn simple Chinese, hoping to leave a good impression on the judges.
"The second one will definitely be held. But it's too frequent to hold this kind of exchange meeting once a year. Besides, it will be too commercial. So I need to think about whether it should be held once every two or three years," Yuan Zhou answered.
Liu Li's restaurant wasn't far from Taoxi Road … Well, of course. Liu Li had specially searched for the place near Taoxi Road. If the road wasn't a little crowded, he would have arrived long ago. Luckily, Wan Li's two questions had been discussed.
Yuan Zhou returned to his restaurant, and Wan Li returned to the association.
He shifted his sight to Lee Yanyi and Zhou Zhangju who were in the hotel.
"What a coincidence. The flight was delayed." Lee Yanyi patted on Zhou Zhangju's shoulder and said, "But it doesn't matter. We can get together."
Zhou Zhangju nodded and pretended to be very depressed.
"By the way, with our relationship, isn't it the same if you treat me and I treat you? It's too polite of you to transfer money to me, "Lee Yanyi said.
"As for the treat, it's what we agreed on," Zhou Zhangju said seriously.
"Okay. I know you have your principles, but so do I. Let's go to Taoxi Road. It's my treat," Lee Yanyi said.
Zhou Zhangju's expression changed. Lee Yanyi's reaction was exactly as he had planned. Zhou Zhangju couldn't help praising himself. He felt he was a perfect planner. However, he couldn't show a happy expression on his face. Instead, he looked a little embarrassed.
He asked, "Are we going to Taoxi Road again?"
"Don't worry. I know your rules. This time, it's my treat. So I won't break your rule of not going to famous restaurants," Lee Yanyi said cooperatively.
"Okay. You arrange it," Zhou Zhangju agreed "reluctantly".
They took a taxi to The Kitchen God. As there was only about one hour left before the dinner time, the traffic near Taoxi Road was already very difficult. They got off at a crowded place. Since it was only about one kilometer away, Lee Yanyi and Zhou Zhangju decided to walk there after discussing it with each other.
"By the way, since Zhangju ate The Kitchen God, have you ever thought of writing a food review?" Lee Yanyi asked on the way.
"I only write for the less famous restaurants. The Kitchen God is famous all over the world. It won't be more famous even if I write a food review. It doesn't matter if I write one less." Zhou Zhangju still refused coldly.
"You're right." Lee Yanyi agreed and said, "Generally speaking, there are two kinds of chefs. One is that the chef is famous but his restaurant isn't that famous. The other is that the restaurant is famous but not many people know the chef. For example, Yuan Zhou's The Kitchen God can be skipped. Both the restaurant and the chef himself are very famous."
Although the two of them weren't young, they still walked fast. In just a little while, they arrived at the end of Taoxi Road. As far as the eye could see, there were crowds of people.
"We have to hurry up. Otherwise, it'll be too late," Zhou Zhangju said.
"Don't worry. I've made a reservation." Lee Yanyi was unhurried and then said, "It seems that Zhangju is in a hurry."
"Not really. It's just that since we're here and it's your treat, it'll be a pity if we come here for nothing," Zhou Zhangju explained. At the same time, he muttered in his heart, "The Kitchen God can make a reservation?" I've never heard of it. Besides, Yuan Zhou was well-known for his "Compass" character. It was absolutely impossible for him to take the backdoor. It was impossible for him to reserve a seat just because it was an acquaintance.
Although Zhou Zhangju was curious, he didn't ask anymore in order to show his determination.
When they were about to reach The Kitchen God, or more precisely, more than 100 meters away from The Kitchen God, Lee Yanyi stopped Zhou Zhangju, "Zhangju, where are you going?"
Zhou Zhangju turned his head and saw Lee Yanyi standing at the entrance of a western restaurant. A bad premonition arose in his heart.
Then, Lee Yanyi pointed at the western restaurant and said, "We're here. We'll eat in this western restaurant on Taoxi Road today. The chef here, Li Li, is also a Michelin star chef. The food tastes pretty good."
"???" From Zhou Zhangju's gaze and expression, he could tell that he was extremely dumbfounded at this moment.
