Although they were in a rush, the lantern was really exquisite.
"Thank you."
Yuan Zhou took the lantern and replaced the one that was originally hung in front of the restaurant.
The original lantern was hung to take care of the short-haired girl who was afraid of walking at night.
After the new one was replaced, it was much brighter. The lantern swished quickly and the image on the lantern gradually changed to reflect the image of all living beings on the ceiling.
"How is it, Compass? Do you like it?" While Yuan Zhou hadn't started cooking, Wuhai praised the lantern with all his might.
"It's quite nice." Yuan Zhou indeed felt it was nice to watch.
It was obviously a handmade lantern, exquisite and small. Together with the painting by Wuhai, it was worth a lot.
"Hua Hua Hua"
After Yuan Zhou washed his hands, he began to concentrate on processing the ingredients. Wu Hai had a bellyful of words that he wanted to say to Wu Hai.
"Come back when dinner time is over," Yuan Zhou raised his head and said when he saw Wuhai was about to go back.
"Ok." Immediately, the withered cabbage turned into a well-watered cabbage. Wuhai was resurrected on the spot and went to line up.
"Zhao Mei, don't leave tonight. Stay here and eat Tangyuan with us. It's the fifteenth of the month," Yuan Zhou said to Cheng Zhao Mei.
"Ok, master," Chairman Cheng, who had been putting dust everywhere, immediately answered.
Apart from the Spring Festival, which was a time for family reunion, there were more people during the holidays. Those who didn't come on normal days all wanted to have a good meal during the Spring Festival.
Cheng Zhao Mei, who was left behind by her master, followed Su Ruoyan to work as a waiter. This job was easy and didn't affect her ability to watch Yuan Zhou cook.
"Has Master's culinary skills improved again? I feel like I can't understand it more than last time." Cheng Zhaomei watched Yuan Zhou's fingers moving rapidly and the knife light flashed.
Cheng Zhao Mei was now known as the King of Sichuan Cuisine. At least, she had a good understanding of Sichuan Cuisine. However, the Twice Cooked Pork that Yuan Zhou was cooking was a basic dish of Sichuan Cuisine. Theoretically, she should be familiar with it, but when Yuan Zhou cooked it, Zhao Mei found it unfamiliar.
Cheng Zhao Mei knew every step very well. However, it was different when she was working under Yuan Zhou. Cheng Zhao Mei didn't even want to work as a waiter. She hid in a place where no one could see and watched Yuan Zhou cook.
"Phew … Finally, I can do it alone." Su Ruoyan felt relieved when she saw Chairman Cheng didn't take her job.
Dinner time ended quickly. Originally, Yuan Zhou wanted to ask Su Ruoyan to eat Tangyuan with him.
However, Su Ruoyan was very cunning. As soon as she saw that Chairman Cheng hadn't left, Yin Ya and Wu Hai had arrived, she immediately bid farewell to Yuan Zhou. It wasn't because she was being polite, but because she felt she had taken too much advantage of them.
"Boss, I'm going to see the lanterns with my friends. I'll be leaving first." Su Ruoyan left after saying that.
"How can this child run so fast?" Yin Ya saw Su Ruoyan's hurried figure as she entered the restaurant.
"She said she's going to see her friends. She's fast." Yuan Zhou didn't think much of it.
"Alright." Yin Ya smiled and didn't say much.
"Hello, Masteress." Zhao Mei came over to greet her.
"Let's eat Tangyuan together today." Yin Ya was already immune to being called Masteress. After all, it was already a fact.
"Compass, can I eat a little more today?" Wu Hai asked with a serious expression.
"Ten servings per person. No extra." Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"Alright." Wuhai felt it was better to have something to eat than nothing at all.
They had already prepared the Tangyuan beforehand. Now, they were just wrapping it up and putting it into the pot. There were only 40 Tangyuan in total, but there were differences. 30 of them were the size of an adult woman's fist while the other 10 were the size of a baby's fist. They looked small and exquisite. They were definitely prepared for Yin Ya.
The sound of firecrackers came from the distant starry sky. In The Kitchen God, everyone sat around and ate the Tangyuan. It was very lively.
The Lantern Festival passed in the bustle. The hustle and bustle were far away from the crowd. Time flowed like water and time flew by.
The sky turned dark and the sun rose soon. Time passed but it didn't come back. Three days had passed since the apprenticeship ceremony of the Lantern Festival.
The 14 nominal disciples were all apprentices of Yuan Zhou. Therefore, the Chef's Alliance arranged for them to stay in a hotel and they often met each other.
Since this was the base camp of Sichuan Cuisine, Cao Zhishu and Zhang He only stayed in the hotel the night before and on the day of the apprenticeship ceremony. They didn't stay in the hotel at other times.
At the beginning, after listening to the Eldest Brother's words, they attached great importance to the notes given by Yuan Zhou. Every apprentice couldn't wait to start reading after returning to their room, and then they were shocked.
For a very simple example, Jiangsu Cuisine was bland, but many dishes would add sugar to enhance the taste. Many people would do so.
But as for adding sugar, Yuan Zhou had made many attempts. The amount of sugar and the order of adding each time were particular, which would also lead to different taste of the dishes.
The notes recorded the process and results of each cooking in detail. Finally, Yuan Zhou summed up the most appropriate amount and time.
"You can see the details. These notes really reflect this sentence incisively and vividly. He deserves to be my master." Luo Qing read it over and over again.
Originally, Luo Qing also admired Yuan Zhou very much. Yuan Zhou became famous quickly, but he was very famous. She had heard a lot about him and watched a lot of videos about him. She was also amazed by Yuan Zhou's cooking skills. Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried so hard to be his nominal disciple.
It was one thing to hear about him, but another thing to actually meet him. Before, she only knew that Yuan Zhou's cooking skills were the best in Huaxia, but the impression was relatively abstract. She only read the notes in person.
Luo Qing deeply understood that there was no success without hard work. Yuan Zhou's success was also based on repeated research and practice.
"I must learn from my master." Clenching her fist, Luo Qing made up her mind.
Not only Luo Qing, but also all the apprentices who read the notes had the same idea.
"Chef Ke, have you finished reading?" Wang Mingjie met Ke Sen when he came out for fresh air.
"No, I came out to find something to eat. Where is Chef Wang?" Ke Sen said.
"I came out to have a rest. Chef Ke, you should call me Senior Brother. Otherwise, it will be too distant." Wang Mingjie said.
"Is there anything special about this?" Ke Sen also wanted to be a Senior Brother.
"We all entered the sect together. There is no difference except for Eldest Senior Brother. But there must be a difference in age. If we call each other like that, our master will not be happy." Wang Mingjie said.
"That makes sense." Ke Sen frowned and thought.
"I am older than you. Is it okay to be your Senior Brother?" Wang Mingjie said.
"Hello, Senior Brother Wang." Ke Sen could not find a reason to refute, so he was very straightforward.
"Hello, Junior Brother Ke." Wang Mingjie said.
After they separated, Wang Mingjie continued to walk forward. When he turned the corner, he met Li Youcai and Ceng Youwei, who were coming back.
"Junior Brother Wang, where are you going?" Ceng Youwei acted like a Senior Brother. He was much taller than Wang Mingjie.
"Well … I'm going out for a walk." Wang Mingjie hesitated.
