This news was a little sudden. Zhou Shijie was also worried about Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he made this trip in person, hoping to give Yuan Zhou a reminder.
"Singapore? I've communicated with the national treasure chef of Singapore, Head Chef Opello. But I don't have any other contact with him," Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said.
"Is it Opello from the Light of Singapore?" Zhou Shijie asked.
"It should be. Chu Xiao said that Head Chef Opello is a national treasure chef of Singapore," Yuan Zhou said.
"No wonder. I saw Opello's eldest disciple, Tang Le, on the name list. This should be related." Zhou Shijie was relieved when he knew the reason.
That's right. After Tang Le's unremitting efforts, the trip to Chengdu was finally made possible. Premier Li Yanhua had always been very fond of the food cooked by Opello. Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Tang Le on this trip.
Now that he heard that there was someone whose culinary skills were better than Opello's and it was with Opello's approval, Li Yanhua was very curious. This time, they were going to choose two cities. The first one was definitely the capital of China. This was no problem. All the leaders would meet in the capital.
The second one was decided to be Chengdu. As for the specifics, Yuan Zhou hadn't received any news yet.
"Do you need me to arrange the specifics?" Yuan Zhou had experienced it once, so he wasn't asking blindly.
"I need to customize the menu. Just in case, I need to customize two sets. If there are any unforeseen accidents, we can even change the menu on the spot. There are also many taboos, but don't worry too much. I have the information," Zhou Shijie said and then turned to Zhong Lili and said, "Lili, show the information to Yuan."
Zhong Lili directly took out a stack of information from her briefcase and handed it to Yuan Zhou. It wasn't thick, only about a dozen pages, but it was full of words.
"Okay, got it." Yuan Zhou took the information but didn't read it immediately.
Then, Zhou Shijie began to tell Yuan Zhou about some of the things he had encountered in the past, or how to deal with unexpected situations. Yuan Zhou's cooking skills were good, but he couldn't take it lightly when it came to receiving the Premier of a country.
Knowing that Zhou Shijie meant well, Yuan Zhou listened attentively. Time passed quickly as the old and the young spoke one after another.
"That's all I can think of for now. If I think of anything else, I'll let you know," Zhou Shijie said.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Singapore Cuisine. Yuan, how's your research going?" Zhou Shijie asked.
Previously, he knew that there were no Singaporean cuisines on the menu, and there were only a few foreign cuisines. Most of them were steak.
To be honest, Zhou Shijie had never seen a restaurant with such a complete set of steaks, be it in China or abroad.
For a period of time, when the association wasn't very busy, Zhou Shijie ate steak here for a few days. The taste was simply amazing.
"I'm almost done researching the new dish. I'll find a time to put it on the menu." Yuan Zhou told him the truth.
"It's already on the menu? Yuan, you should pay attention to your rest. Don't work too hard. "Zhou Shijie was shocked. His first thought was that Yuan Zhou had been researching day and night again.
Needless to say, since it was already at the level where it could be put on the menu, there was no need to worry. Regarding this, Zhou Shijie was very confident.
"No, it's the same as usual. Don't worry, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou said seriously.
His schedule was arranged every day. He had already planned when to open for business, when to practice culinary skills, and when to accompany his wife. If there was an accident like today, he had to find time to make up for the lost time.
"It's good that you know what to do. Pay more attention to your health. You are still young," Zhou Shijie said.
He hoped that Yuan Zhou could go further and further. As an elder, he hoped that Yuan Zhou wouldn't go further and further under the condition of losing all his health.
"Thank you, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou said.
"Today is Lili's birthday. It shouldn't be a problem to order an all-fish banquet, right?" Zhou Shijie suddenly said.
"Huh?" Yuan Zhou was a little confused. Why did the topic change?
"…" Zhong Lili was speechless.
Why did the topic suddenly fall to her? Did something happen?
"My birthday seems to be in a month." Zhong Lili felt that she had forgotten when her birthday was.
"I heard from Lili's father that today is your birthday on the Gregorian calendar. Is that right?" Zhou Shijie said with a look of certainty.
"That's right." Zhong Lili thought about it carefully and found it was true. However, she had always celebrated her birthday on the Gregorian calendar. Therefore, there was no need to say that.
"Lili, you have been working with me for so long. It's only right for me to celebrate your birthday with you. The all-fish banquet cooked by Yuan Zhou is the most suitable. You can give it a try," Zhou Shijie said.
To be honest, Zhong Lili had never eaten an all-fish banquet in The Kitchen God. It was not that she couldn't afford it, but she really didn't have a chance to eat it.
Now that Zhou Shijie said it directly, Zhong Lili had no choice but to agree. After all, he was an elder.
"I'll order the all-fish banquet. Can we eat it at noon later?" Zhou Shijie turned his head and said to Yuan Zhou directly after settling the matter with Zhong Lili.
Ever since Yuan Zhou treated Zhou Shijie to the all-fish banquet last time, Zhou Shijie hadn't had a chance to eat it again. It couldn't be helped because of the rules of The Kitchen God. Even he couldn't get it through the back door.
Coincidentally, he happened to chat with Lili's father yesterday and mentioned the matter of the lunar birthday and the Gregorian birthday. Zhou Shijie immediately paid attention to it. Coincidentally, he was going to look for Yuan Zhou. Therefore, after searching for quite a while, he found that Zhong Lili's birthday was on the Gregorian calendar today. Therefore, everything was ready.
Zhong Lili didn't know that at all. Although she felt it strange, she was quite touched.
"Ok." Yuan Zhou checked the time and found it was not a problem to prepare the food now. Besides, it was also in line with the rules. Therefore, he nodded his head.
"Then, Yuan, you go ahead with your work. I'll go out and line up." Zhou Shijie straightaway stood up and left.
Yuan Zhou then stood up and saw Zhou Shijie and Zhong Lili out. Then, he went upstairs to wash up and change his clothes, planning to prepare the ingredients for lunch.
"When will I add the new dishes to the menu?" Yuan Zhou considered, "Why don't I add them after I design the menu? Anyway, there are only a few days left."
After thinking about it, Yuan Zhou felt that he had to wait for a few days. He hadn't practiced cooking the new dishes for some time. It was better for him to have a try first.
After that, Yuan Zhou didn't have time to think about anything else. He directly went downstairs to wash his hands and prepare the ingredients. Soon, the lunchtime began.
Of course, he still couldn't compete with his son for the Barbecued Pork. Zhou Shijie and Zhong Lili stood at the third and fourth place.
"Dad, you are also here for lunch today." Zhou Xi naturally greeted his father first.
"Um." Zhou Shijie humphed as an answer.
Then, there was no more. After all, it was just a fake father-son relationship. How could he continue the old relationship? Of course, this was on the basis that Zhou Xi didn't know his father had ordered the all-fish banquet.
