"Alright, we'll take our leave first. I'll call you if I have any questions," Lee Yanyi took over Yuan Zhou's stuff and said.
Yuan Zhou nodded. After seeing the four of them off, he didn't do anything else. He took out the ancient book given by Guo Penghao and started to read it. He estimated that Xu Ban would be here soon, so he didn't practice anything else.
"In ancient times, names weren't necessarily concordant. For example, 'Three Fragrance to the Ocean' is basically related to 'three', three types of beans. If 'Wanqing Waxing' and 'Wanqing Waxing', would it be more straightforward? The whole dish is in the shape of a full moon or a crescent moon. "
"Or the dish is related to the moon and was cooked at night?" Yuan Zhou carefully studied those lines of words.
He couldn't make up his mind. The real perfume had a clear indication, but there was nothing in this book. It was just the feeling of eating it, and it was very general.
Yuan Zhou felt that he could think of several ways to satisfy the taste mentioned in the book, but it didn't match with 'Wanqing Waxing' and 'Wanqing Waxing'.
"It's difficult to find relevant information about something that happened more than 1000 years ago."
Speaking of information, Yuan Zhou thought of something. He could think of it in reverse, "Could it be related to Su Dongpo? Su Dongpo is a foodie."
The famous Dongpo Cuisine, such as Dongpo Tofu, Dongpo Pancake, Dongpo Pig Knuckle, etc. There were so many of them that even Yuan Zhou hadn't completely mastered them.
After looking through the information, Yuan Zhou pondered over it again and again. It wasn't something that could be confirmed in a short time, so Yuan Zhou was very calm.
He even started to read the ancient book from the beginning. After a rough reading, Yuan Zhou understood that the ancient book was actually a miscellaneous record that recorded all kinds of trivial things. Moreover, it was written by more than one person. It was written by all the family members.
After reading a few pages, he saw the anecdotes of the three people's lives. Of course, the book was so thick that it couldn't record all their lives. He only chose one or two strange or memorable things to record.
For example, Yuan Zhou had just seen a man named Cui Weng. Once, he had traveled through the night and walked along the mountain path for a whole night. Only when the sky had just turned bright did he walk out of the mountain. There, he came across an attic with a square of 300 feet. There was an object in the attic that could prevent food from spoiling and an object that could allow one to see the scenery of the outside of the attic.
Therefore, this person came back and told his family about this matter, and it was recorded. That was during the Ming Dynasty.
"I can't tell if these strange things are real or not," Yuan Zhou commented in his heart.
While Yuan Zhou was busy reading, there were people on the other side who were also very lively.
A certain company's project department.
"Old Jia, you said you would give us a surprise for our anniversary. Is that true?" Lin Yu hooked his arm around Jia Ming's neck.
Lin Yu joined the company at the same time as Jia Ming, and they had been working hard in the same department. Although Jia Ming was one step ahead and became the manager, Lin Yu wasn't bad either. He was the deputy manager.
"Manager Jia, tomorrow is the official day. Can you reveal the surprise?" the tall man said with a smile.
"I'm also very curious as to what kind of surprise it is. It's so mysterious," a long-haired female colleague in her thirties interrupted.
"I think Manager Jia must have prepared a big surprise," the crew-cut man said with a cheeky smile.
"When has our Manager Jia ever disappointed us?" Lin Yu looked at Jia Ming mischievously.
Jia Ming, who was the center of attention, was not used to being stared at even though he had been through hundreds of battles.
"Don't look at me like that. Even if you didn't ask me today, I would have told you about the situation," Jia Ming coughed and said.
"The third anniversary is a very memorable day. Plus, our department just completed a big project not long ago. With the two combined, I'm going to treat everyone to a big meal," Jia Ming said in one breath and added, "We're going to have a big meal at The Kitchen God on Taoxi Road."
However, after Jia Ming finished speaking, he wasn't as excited as expected. On the contrary, he was very quiet. The long-haired female colleague, the crew-cut man, the tall man, Lin Yu, and the others all looked confused and surprised.
Jia Ming was also a little confused. What was going on?
Lin Yu spoke first, "Old Jia, the The Kitchen God you mentioned, is it the restaurant that Boss Yuan owns?!"
"Is there any other restaurant that dares to call The Kitchen God on Taoxi Road?" Jia Ming nodded. "I've already booked a Chicken Fir Feast in advance."
After getting the acknowledgment, the department exploded.
"This is indeed a big surprise," the crew-cut man said.
"Boss Yuan is my ideal Prince Charming. He knows how to make cakes, cook, and is also romantic. I've long wanted to support my Prince Charming," the short-haired female colleague said.
"Manager Jia, you're too rich. If I remember correctly, The Kitchen God's food isn't cheap at all," the tall man said.
From everyone's words, one could hear their expectations for The Kitchen God and their admiration for Yuan Zhou. These were all accumulated bit by bit.
For other chefs, even if they had decades of accumulated reputation, it would be hard for them to have this kind of reputation among ordinary people.
The most important thing was that Yuan Zhou's reputation was different. For example, Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan's reputation was more in the chefs' circle. Even if you asked ordinary people, they probably wouldn't know about it.
In conclusion, Yuan Zhou could be said to be a person with an extremely high reputation both in and out of the chefs' circle.
"But Old Jia, I know about the Chicken Fir Feast. What's the Chicken Fir Feast?" Lin Yu had never heard of it.
"It's a very delicious feast from my hometown. Trust me, it's definitely not wrong," Jia Ming immediately explained.
Like most people, Jia Ming liked to introduce the things from his hometown to his friends. The Chicken Fir Feast was very delicious and was his favorite. However, he had never seen it in Chengdu, so he naturally couldn't introduce it.
What surprised him was that The Kitchen God actually had it. In this case, after they finished eating, they would definitely like the Chicken Fir Feast. Jia Ming had incomparable faith in Yuan Zhou's culinary skills.
Speaking of which, Jia Ming had never thought that after his friends finished eating at The Kitchen God, they would think of going to Dian Province to eat the original food …
Returning to The Kitchen God, dinnertime was approaching. The diners began to rush over to line up. First come, first served, and they were all people with limited numbers.
In three minutes, the line had already stretched out for three to four meters.
"I'm eating Shredded Pork with Green Pepper today. Let me record it first."
There was no need to mention the real name of the man who spoke. Those who knew him all called him Haozi. Haozi was wearing a hoodie, so his appearance couldn't be seen clearly. He was carrying a shoulder bag, and his fair and slender fingers were holding onto a small notebook. He was diligently recording something with a pen.
Haozi didn't look like a mouse. His face was even a little handsome. No one knew why he had this nickname.
"Sorry for bumping into you." Because Wang Hong's mind was distracted just now, he was probably thinking about a plot and accidentally bumped into Haozi in front of the line.
"It's okay. Just be careful next time. It will hurt if you fall on the ground," Haozi replied with a smile.
Wang Hong quickly nodded his head. When he came back to his senses, he noticed the person in front of him in the line.
"This person … really." Wang Hong couldn't find a suitable word to describe him.
"Is he sad?"
Wang Hong wasn't sure how he felt. Just now, he was clearly smiling and polite, but Wang Hong felt sad.
"Speaking of which, I should have seen him before, but I don't have any impression of him." Wang Hong thought hard and seemed to have some impression of him.
One must know that the atmosphere of The Kitchen God was quite good. Basically, the regular customers knew each other. This person was really an exception.
