"Thank you, Head Chef Yuan, for your good wishes for this award ceremony. Next, we will present the first award of this ceremony. This is a new award this year, the 'Most Distinctive Restaurant'. The winner of this award is Floating Clouds Chuyou Restaurant. Please welcome the head chef," Chairman Cheng said in a professional manner.
Awards were usually received by the head chef. Logically speaking, the boss should be the one to receive the award. But for some reason, the winners had reached a consensus.
If the boss and the head chef were the same person, then there was nothing to say. If not, the latter would be the one to receive the award.
Floating Clouds Chuyou Restaurant was no exception. The executive chef of the restaurant, Head Chef Pan, was in charge of receiving the award. Of course, the restaurant manager and other management staff were also present.
Looking at the trophy on the stage, they were all extremely excited.
Head Chef Pan was around 40 years old. He wasn't fat at all for his profession. He looked like a standard middle-aged man. Even though Chairman Cheng already knew about this, he still couldn't hide his excitement.
"Floating Clouds Chu You Restaurant has received a total of 178,000 likes of 0.5 yuan and more than 3,000 long reviews. It has obtained an absolute advantage on the Food Review Website." Cheng Zhaomei finished reading out the awards.
Floating Clouds Out of Glaze was a restaurant in Jiang Province. It adhered to the customs of the Land of Wuyue and built a restaurant with the characteristics of the times. Even the dishes inside were characteristic of the Land of Wuyue, such as Xi Shi Tofu, Fan Li Fish Head, and so on.
The preparation for this award ceremony was very thorough. Just as Chairman Cheng announced the winners and Head Chef Pan walked toward the rostrum, the huge projection on both sides of the rostrum began to show the situation inside Floating Clouds Chuyou Restaurant.
The interior of the restaurant had an antique feel to it. Young men and women dressed in traditional Han clothing were walking back and forth with plates of dishes in their hands. There was also a beautiful lady playing the zither, adding to the elegance of the restaurant.
"Thank you, Yuan Zhou Food Review Website, for awarding this award to our restaurant. Thank you, netizens, for your support. Thank you, Head Chef Yuan. We will continue to persevere. Thank you!" Head Chef Pan was obviously excited and started speaking incoherently. But it was true that he didn't forget to thank them.
When Yuan Zhou saw Head Chef Pan going up the stage, he knew his job had come. He slowly stood up and walked towards the center of the stage. In the corner, he could already see Cheng Wu holding the trophy in his hands.
Speaking of this, I have to mention the trophy designed by Yin Ya.
The trophies for the other three awards had already been designed two years ago. They were just made of a different material for this award ceremony to make them look more prestigious. However, the other two awards were newly designed by Yin Ya this year.
In keeping with the low-profile style of The Kitchen God, the main body was black and gold, and there seemed to be two doors on the top. There were traces of dark patterns on the body of the cup, which were formed by interweaving lotus patterns.
With Yuan Zhou's eyesight, he could tell that the two doors were the doors of The Kitchen God.
"Congratulations, Head Chef Pan." Yuan Zhou took the trophy from Cheng Ying and handed it to Head Chef Pan.
Although Head Chef Pan was a chef from Jiangsu Cuisine and had never met Yuan Zhou before, it did not hinder his admiration for Yuan Zhou.
He had also participated in the selection for Yuan Zhou's in-name disciple held by Jiangsu Cuisine and made it to the end. It was not hard to imagine that his culinary skills were quite good. Unfortunately, he was defeated by Wang Mingjie.
But today, he was standing in front of Yuan Zhou, and it was Yuan Zhou who was presenting the award. He was so relaxed and happy that he felt as if he was riding on a roller coaster.
"Thank you, Head Chef Yuan. I will definitely work hard to get the Most Anticipated Chef award next year." Head Chef Pan tried hard to control his trembling hands as he held the trophy in his hands.
"Keep up the good work," added Yuan Zhou when he saw the excitement on Head Chef Pan's face.
"We will do our best." Head Chef Pan did not expect Yuan Zhou to be so kind. He nodded happily.
After the award ceremony, Yuan Zhou returned to his seat and waited for the second round of the award ceremony. There were five awards today, so he could not make any mistakes in the procedure.
Head Chef Pan left the stage with the trophy in his heart. Chairman Cheng continued to host the ceremony and presented the second award, "Best Dining Environment", which was also a new award this year.
This award was given to a restaurant in Chengdu. It was probably due to the influence of The Kitchen God that the restaurant's requirements for its dining environment had reached an extremely high level. Thus, this trophy was well deserved.
After the two new awards were presented, the next award was the "Best Diner Service Award". The restaurant that won this award was from Lu Province.
Speaking of which, this restaurant was discovered by Yu Chu. Of course, the final result was chosen by the netizens. Everyone said that Haidilao's service could make people feel at home. However, the service of this restaurant named "Here" was like that of an emperor. Therefore, it was understandable that the netizens liked this restaurant. After all, who didn't want to be an emperor?
The next award was the "Diner's Favorite Taste" award. Honestly speaking, if it wasn't for the fact that the organizer, The Kitchen God, was not part of the selection, this award would be meaningless.
Surprisingly, the restaurant that won this award this year was a Beijing Cuisine restaurant located in Beijing, the capital of China. It won the award by a few hundred votes. Yuan Zhou was quite familiar with this restaurant.
This was because Head Chef Yang had been the executive chef of this restaurant ten years ago. He had heard about this restaurant when he attended the Blade Sealing Banquet.
The current head chef of this restaurant was Head Chef Yang's eldest disciple. He was also the one who came to the award ceremony. Yuan Zhou looked at them and found that they looked quite similar. Unfortunately, they were "Yang" and "Yang". Otherwise, they would look like father and son.
"Keep up the good work," Yuan Zhou handed the trophy to Head Chef Yang's eldest disciple, Yang Zhao.
"Diner's Favorite Taste is truly undeserving of this award," Yang Zhao said after receiving the trophy. After receiving the trophy, Yang Zhao said, "Because apart from Head Chef Yuan, I don't think any other chef deserves this award."
Yuan Zhou said, "Head Chef Yang has also learned a lot of unique skills from Old Chef Yang. You deserve this award."
"Thank you for your encouragement, Head Chef Yuan. I will try my best to learn from you!" Yang Zhao looked at Yuan Zhou with a curious expression.
He had no choice. He was already forty years old. Just because of the appearance of Yuan Zhou, he had to forget his dark history of being reprimanded by his master like a primary school student.
However, Yang Zhao didn't feel jealous of Yuan Zhou. Although Yuan Zhou was young, he was way too strong. It could even be said that he was more all-rounded than his teacher. Yang Zhao didn't have any desire to compare himself with Yuan Zhou.
Yang Zhao was just curious about what Yuan Zhou ate while growing up. Both of them had gone through 9 years of compulsory education. Why was Yuan Zhou so outstanding? Moreover, he was so outstanding.
In the end, Yang Zhao stepped down from the stage. He did not see the uniqueness of Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he could only retract his thoughts. No matter what, he would at least have a better life with his master after winning this award.
The award ceremony reached its climax as the awards were announced one after another. The last award was the Chef Yuan Zhou personally looked forward to the most.
"It's here."
"It's finally here."
The chefs who were qualified to compete for this award instantly straightened their backs.
