Both objectively and subjectively, the former, Dominic, had been completely conquered by Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship.
From the latter point of view, it would be a disgrace to the Michelin rating system if The Kitchen God could not be placed in the Michelin rating system.
However, Yuan Zhou was very resolute about this. Therefore, he thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. He created a separate rating system for The Kitchen God, creating the highest rating for Chinese food, on par with the three-star rating for Western food.
Even as the supervisor of the Asian region, Dominic had no say in this matter. He had even asked the headquarters last night.
Strictly speaking, Dominic was very sincere. At this time, he and Sylvie were looking at Yuan Zhou expectantly.
Yuan Zhou could feel Dominic's sincerity, but he still had the same opinion. He did not want an organization that specialized in Western food to evaluate Chinese food.
"I'm sorry, Supervisor Dominic. I'm thankful for Michelin's arrangement, but I don't think it's necessary. Of course, if Supervisor Dominic likes Chinese food, you can come here more often. That won't be a problem," Yuan Zhou said.
Dominic became anxious when he heard Yuan Zhou's refusal. He quickly said, "Head Chef Yuan, didn't you refuse previously because you felt that the rating system for Western food doesn't match with the Chinese food system? But now, we have a separate rating system! All the Chinese dishes in the future can be classified as such. "
Without a doubt, it was unprecedented for Michelin to create a separate rating system for a single chef. The fact that the French headquarters agreed was also an evaluation of Yuan Zhou's status in Asia.
"Head Chef Yuan, please reconsider. We are very sincere," Sylvie said hurriedly.
"Supervisor Dominic, Mr. Sylvie, I'm very sorry," Yuan Zhou nodded slightly.
When they heard Yuan Zhou's unhesitant refusal again, Dominic and Wang Mingbao were rather disappointed. However, they couldn't say anything. They had some sense of propriety and could only drink a little more top-grade tea to make up for it.
Since Yuan Zhou had already refused, Dominic didn't say anything else. Instead, he talked about some other topics. After a while, the two of them politely took their leave.
"Uncle, are we just going to let it go like this? If Head Chef Yuan doesn't give us a rating, it will be a huge loss for us," Sylphy said impatiently after they left the restaurant.
His face was flushed, and he looked very excited. He wasn't like this when he ate at the Yuanzhou shop yesterday.
"Of course it's a loss. But with Head Chef Yuan's craftsmanship, do you think it's appropriate to put him in the same position as other Michelin Three Stars head chefs?" Dominic asked vaguely.
"Uh …"
All of a sudden, Sylvie choked. From last night to today, there were three meals in total, and every meal had refreshed his understanding of Chinese cuisine.
"That's true." Sylphy's head drooped.
In the past, if a chef had told Sylvie and Dominic that three Michelin stars wasn't enough, they would definitely have thought that the chef was crazy.
Why didn't he say that the Earth couldn't tolerate him?
But now, Dominic and Sylvie could only blame themselves for not having the Milky Way at home.
"We can only respect Head Chef Yuan's decision. But to show our Michelin persistence, you can come and eat a few more times. Since we don't have much to do these days, we might as well stay in Chengdu and see if we can persuade Head Chef Yuan again," Dominic said. Although he didn't have much hope of persuading Head Chef Yuan, the food he ate was definitely real.
When Sylvie heard that, he felt it was very reasonable. He nodded his head vigorously. If he followed his uncle, he would have meat to eat. Thus, he was determined to follow his uncle.
While Sylvie and Dominic made up their minds to stay in The Kitchen God and eat more, Yuan Zhou immediately focused on other matters after sending them off. For him, this was just a small matter. There was no need to keep thinking about it.
If he had the time, he might as well practice his culinary skills. That was the most important thing.
Dominic and the others sat there for a long time and drank a lot of tea. They didn't practice their knife skills for long before it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
Two roast geese had already been ordered today. Therefore, the first thing Yuan Zhou prepared was the goose. The goose provided by the system was naturally the one that had just been slaughtered. Therefore, he only needed to wash it and marinate it.
Of course, in order to ensure the perfection and flavor of the goose, washing it was very particular. But for Yuan Zhou, it was a piece of cake.
Hua La, Hua La.
He turned on the water and placed the goose under the tap to wash it. At the same time, he used a special method to wash the skin and internal cavity. This way, the blood would be better drained.
Time passed as Yuan Zhou concentrated on preparing the ingredients. Soon, it was time for dinner.
Naturally, he saw Dominic and Sylvie again during dinner.
These few days, the weather in Chengdu was hot and cold. The day before, the sun was shining brightly. Today, the wind was howling.
Hua Hua Hua.
The wind rustled the leaves. The wind was very strong, causing the branches to sway from side to side. The weather was dark and gloomy. The clouds were very low. Although it wasn't raining, no one knew when it would.
Of course, the bad weather couldn't stop the attraction of Yuan Zhou's delicacies. There were as many people coming for breakfast and lunch as usual. Of course, the time off had already been made up, and the restaurant had resumed its usual business hours.
After sending off the last customer, Yuan Zhou went into the kitchen to check on the meat porridge that was specially cooked for Rice.
He had made it before the opening hours. It should be cold enough to be eaten by now.
After testing the temperature with his finger and realizing that there was only some residual heat left, Yuan Zhou carried the special pot and walked toward the back door.
"Eh? Did Rice, Noodles, and Rice Soup go to play with Meat Fatty again?" When Yuan Zhou went out, he saw Rice wandering around the kennel. It didn't seem very quiet. Besides, Rice was the only dog there. The two little ones weren't around.
Of course, this wasn't the first time such a situation happened.
Ever since they were one month old, Rice Soup and Noodles could walk while staggering. The first thing they did when they opened their eyes was to have fun. As they were about the same size as Meat Fatty, the three little ones could play together.
Many times, Rice Soup and Noodles liked to sneak out to play with Meat Fatty. However, Rice kept a close eye on them. They could only succeed two or three times out of ten. Yuan Zhou had already encountered this twice. This was the third time.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof, woof woof woof woof woof"
When Rice heard Yuan Zhou's voice, it immediately stopped circling around and barked at Yuan Zhou anxiously.
When Yuan Zhou, who was still smiling, heard Rice's barking, he immediately stopped smiling and became serious. The aura around him also tensed up.
"You mean, Rice Soup and Noodles went out in the morning and haven't returned?" Yuan Zhou asked solemnly.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof …" Rice barked.
