It was foreseeable that a new day would begin with Wuhai's scream.
That scream was simply heart-wrenching and unbearable to listen to.
The cause of the incident was as follows: Early in the morning, Wuhai got up at his usual time and headed to the opposite side in his slippers and woolly pajamas.
His hair was messy and his eyes were a little hazy, but these couldn't stop the Black Beast's desire to have breakfast.
However, with his 2.5 vision, Wuhai could guarantee that The Kitchen God was different from usual this morning. Usually, a wooden door would be opened for Su Ruoyan's convenience. But now, not only was the wooden door closed, but there was also something very familiar on it.
"Dadada, Dadada."
Wuhai walked quickly to the wooden door and saw the three big words "Leave Slip" on it. It was like a bolt from the blue.
"Oh my god, Compass is asking for leave again!" the Black Beast couldn't control the primitive force in his body and directly shouted.
"Eaves Wu, what's wrong? What's wrong?" Zhou Xi, who came late, was almost scared to the ground by Wuhai's voice.
Relying on his superior balance, he managed to stabilize himself with great difficulty and hurried to the door of The Kitchen God. He saw Wuhai squatting there with despair. The shadow behind him was almost materialized, looking gloomy.
It added a chill to the winter morning for no reason. Zhou Xi subconsciously steadied himself from shivering. Then, he saw a very conspicuous piece of white paper.
[Leave Slip]
Since I have an extremely important banquet to attend in the next three days, I hereby ask for leave for three days. The restaurant will be open for business three days later.
The final right of explanation belongs to The Kitchen God.]
Zhou Xi finally knew what had happened, but he couldn't deal with it. He could only squat at the door with Wuhai in the same posture as Broth.
"Eaves Wu, what are you going to do?" Zhou Xi couldn't help but ask when he saw Wuhai suddenly stand up.
"I'm going to the back door to have a look," Wuhai said without turning his head.
The customers who came one after another didn't see the familiar Wuhai. Seeing the familiar posture, they knew something was wrong. Then, they trembled when they saw the leave slip.
"Alas, I wanted to grab a breakfast when I got up early."
"Don't sigh. Boss Yuan must have asked for leave because he has something urgent to do."
"I understand. But does it have anything to do with me sighing because I can't eat The Kitchen God's breakfast?"
"Well, it doesn't seem to matter."
For a moment, sighs could be heard everywhere. Their resentment was about to materialize. But since Yuan Zhou wasn't here, they couldn't do anything about it. The others could only look for something to fill their stomachs. Although the Master Chef Restaurant was closed, other restaurants were still open.
As for Yuan Zhou, he had already boarded the plane and was waiting in the waiting room with Mr. Ma. It was unknown whether it was Mr. Ma who specifically instructed him to do so or his assistant was smarter, but the plane ticket this time was the first class.
Yuan Zhou let out a sigh of relief inwardly. He was worried that Mr. Ma was too old and couldn't stand the bumpy journey. But now, he was relieved.
Suddenly, Yuan Zhou felt a chill all over his body. It should be because it was too cold … there was definitely no other reason.
The reason why Yuan Zhou didn't inform them in advance was that Su Ruoyan and Mao Ye only got the news last night. After all, Yuan Zhou was smart. If he told them in advance, even Wuhai would suffer, let alone Wuhai. It was unthinkable.
Now, it was quiet. Good for you, good for me, and good for everyone.
…
The Head Chef Yang of the Sealing Blade Feast this time lived in Guangdong Province. Therefore, Yuan Zhou and the others were going to Goose City in Guangdong Province. Goose City occupied an important economic and military position no matter in ancient times or modern times.
"Ahem … Old Yang is good at Chaozhou Cuisine, Dongjiang Cuisine and Beijing Cuisine. I estimate that Beijing Cuisine will be the main dish in the Sealing Blade Feast this time and the other two cuisines will be supplementary. His Plum Vegetable Feast is the best. Of course, I don't think there will be any new dishes." Mr. Ma revealed a disapproving expression.
"I see." Yuan Zhou knew that Mr. Ma was reminding him, thus he nodded his head earnestly.
"Besides Old Yang, the other two royal chef families will definitely come. They are Old Ge who is good at Shandong Cuisine and Old Mo who is good at Jiangsu Cuisine. The Kung Fu of the two old guys is not weak. You can have a look at them at that time. Of course, they are definitely not as good as Old Zhuo." Mr. Ma revealed a faint smile on his face.
Obviously, he was more relaxed when talking about his old friends. Even the poker face of Mr. Ma softened a little.
"However, it won't be a big problem for you, especially for Jiangsu Cuisine. As for Shandong Cuisine, you can learn more from each other." Mr. Ma added again.
He expressed his concern awkwardly. Previously, when Yuan Zhou served Shandong Cuisine, Zhou Shijie also showed off in front of Mr. Ma. Naturally, Mr. Ma also went to eat there once.
"Thank you, Mr. Ma." Yuan Zhou thanked him sincerely.
It was really lucky to have such an elder to remind him at any time. Yuan Zhou had always felt that he was very lucky. Though he couldn't get where he was today without his own efforts, he also couldn't do without the support of many elders.
"Old Zhuo is just afraid that you will lose my face. You think about it carefully." Mr. Ma made a serious face.
As long as it was said with good intentions, it would definitely be a disaster. Was it really good for him to be so arrogant at such an old age?
Just like that, the two of them chatted with each other until it was time to board the plane.
It usually took about two and a half hours to get from Chengdu to Goose City. Therefore, after they boarded the plane, Yuan Zhou and Mr. Ma arrived at Goose City very soon.
After finding the car that they had booked in advance, Yuan Zhou took Mr. Ma to the hotel that they had booked and settled down.
The Blade Sealing Feast would be held officially the next day. Different from ordinary banquets, the Blade Sealing Feast was composed of two parts, a small banquet and a big banquet.
This was the special name of the Blade Sealing Feast. The so-called small banquet was composed of only six dishes, three cold dishes and three hot dishes. The alternation of cold and hot symbolized the arduous process of learning culinary skills. After that, the big banquet was composed of hot dishes and desserts. Generally, there were nine dishes in the big banquet. Generally, there were 36 dishes. Finally, there had to be a dessert as the finale, which meant good luck.
These were all the things that Mr. Ma told Yuan Zhou on the way here. If Mr. Ma didn't tell him, Yuan Zhou would really know little about it. The Blade Sealing Feast had been extinct for a long time in the modern world.
Of course, it was also because Head Chef Yang had a great reputation and excellent craftsmanship that made people flock to him like ducks.
According to Mr. Ma, in this Blade Sealing Feast, there were not only the Four Great Imperial Chefs, but also several outstanding culinary talents of various departments. They were all his old friends. However, according to Mr. Ma, Yuan Zhou didn't need to care about them because their culinary skills were almost the same as his.
After they settled down in the hotel, it was already noon. Having checked the nearby restaurants, Yuan Zhou selected a special one and took Mr. Ma there for a meal. Though the taste wasn't that good, the two of them still finished their meal.
Then, they waited for the Blade Sealing Feast to begin and ate the nearby delicacies, which were all authentic Cantonese dishes, which also gave Yuan Zhou some new ideas.
