While Yuan Zhou was thinking about the Top Ten Beauty Competition, Zhou Shijie had also entered the finishing stage.
After more than ten days of competition, the final competition was about to begin. The details still needed to be planned.
Before deciding the final date of the competition, Zhou Shijie called Yuan Zhou first.
At this time, Yuan Zhou had just finished practicing his knife skills, so it was just the right time.
"Uncle Zhou, what's the matter?" Yuan Zhou answered the phone and said.
"The final of the Top Ten Beauty Competition that I told you before will be held in five days. At that time, there will be a Monkey Wine Tasting Conference at the same time. Do you have time to attend it?" Zhou Shijie asked.
He thought that if Yuan Zhou didn't have time, he could change the date. Anyway, it didn't matter if it was earlier or later.
"Uncle Zhou, is it in the afternoon or in the morning?" Yuan Zhou asked.
"It will start at 2: 30 in the afternoon and end at 5: 00 at most. It should be about time." Zhou Shijie definitely planned to fully cooperate with Yuan Zhou.
"Okay, I will have time to attend it. No problem." Yuan Zhou agreed readily. After thinking for a while, he asked, "About the Wine Tasting Conference, do I need to prepare anything other than the wine?"
"No, everything is ready. Just bring the wine. No, I will send someone to pick you up. You don't need to bring too much wine, just a few catties will do." Zhou Shijie felt that it was enough to let those people have a taste of the wine. He would feel pain if he brought too much.
"Okay, then I will bring five catties of Monkey Wine." Yuan Zhou thought that Uncle Zhou wouldn't feel it was too much to bring so little.
In fact, there were only 50 catties of Monkey Wine that could be drunk after the brewing was done. The next batch had to wait for another month. Therefore, it was not a lot. It was a little difficult for Yuan Zhou to bring more even if he wanted to.
"It's a lot. You can bring less. Such precious wine must be less." Zhou Shijie always considered for Yuan Zhou's sake.
"It's okay. Let Uncle Zhou take the rest back and drink it slowly," Yuan Zhou said after thinking for a while.
This time, Zhou Shijie had nothing to say. After confirming Yuan Zhou's time, Zhou Shijie immediately began to make other arrangements.
After hanging up the call with Zhou Shijie, Yuan Zhou began to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
The boat left no trace, and the geese left no sound. Time passed quickly, and soon it was the next day.
As long as he was not on leave, Yuan Zhou lived a fulfilling and satisfying life every day. He would wake up in the morning to run, eat noodles, and then have breakfast. After that, he would practice his knife skills. In the blink of an eye, it was lunchtime. Compared with the crowded breakfast time, the number of people at lunchtime was simply increasing exponentially.
The fame of The Kitchen God was gradually increasing, which meant that more and more people knew about it.
Fortunately, there was the Queuing Committee and everyone's self-awareness. Otherwise, a stampede was possible.
It was no wonder that Leader Zhao of Lu Province wanted to poach him. Even Song Ming felt that if Yuan Zhou was in their Guangdong Province, he would wake up with a smile even in his dreams.
When Song Ming and Ding Yuanshan arrived at Taoxi Road, it was almost time to line up for dinner. Although he hadn't been here for a long time, Song Ming still knew the rules.
Ding Yuanshan was totally different from Ding Shao. He was a man in his 40s, tall and sturdy. Just by looking at his arms, one could tell that he had no problem in tossing the ladle and throwing the wok.
As a matter of fact, Ding Yuanshan had the reputation of the King of Wok in Guangdong Province, not the King of Wok Danzo, but the King of Wok.
It indicated that any wok in Ding Yuanshan's hands was just like playing with a toy, and he could even play with it in new ways. He was also a heavyweight among the chefs in Guangdong Province.
When they came here today, they didn't inform Ding Shao. They deliberately chose to come at night when Ding Shao usually didn't come.
Both of them knew the nature of Ding Shao's work. He could get off work and have dinner on time at noon, but not at night. The frequency of consultation would be higher in the afternoon. Therefore, it was normal for him to get off work late at any time, let alone early. Therefore, it was impossible for him to have dinner on time except on holidays.
Song Ming and Ding Yuanshan deliberately chose to come at night because they had something serious to do, which was related to their ultimate purpose of coming to Chengdu this time.
"Dad, let's go this way. The queue is starting." Ding Yuanshan glanced around and found the crowd began to gather, so he immediately called Song Ming.
Song Ming nodded and followed Ding Yuan Shan to the direction where the crowd was surging. Because he had arrived early, his attention was good enough. Therefore, although he was not at the front of the queue, he was still in the first echelon, which was considered lucky.
Not long after he stood still, Song Ming's phone rang. The earth-shattering ringtone instantly attracted many people's attention.
Song Ming showed a rare embarrassed look. Although he was using a smartphone, he was 65 years old this year. It was normal for him to specially adjust the ringtone.
He took out his phone quickly and grinded his teeth when he saw Zhou Shijie's name. This was his arch-enemy. Nothing good would come out of meeting him.
"What's the matter, chairman?" Song Ming said impatiently.
"Hahaha. Old Song, don't be so polite. Let me tell you, Yuan recently released a new wine that you can't even imagine. The Wine Tasting Conference is going to be held soon. It's a pity that you can't come because you are in Guangdong Province. What a pity." Zhou Shijie continued to show off, completely unaffected.
The age gap between Zhou Shijie and Song Ming was a little big. However, one of them became famous at a young age while the other was a late bloomer. Therefore, although they were not in the same age, they were of the same generation in the culinary world. This created a close relationship between them that hurt each other. It was really like you stepped on me and I kicked you back. When they were competing for the chairman position of the Chef's Association, they had fought each other. Unfortunately, Song Ming was one step behind.
This time, when Song Ming heard Zhou Shijie's words, he immediately revealed a cold smile, "Ho. I'm really sorry. I am in Chengdu now. I have decided to go back after the Wine Tasting Conference. Anyway, I am a person with proper business, unlike some people who are busy every day."
Zhou Shijie, who was originally prepared to continue showing off, was instantly stunned. This was not the right script. Why was Song Ming, this old guy, in Chengdu?
"What are you doing in Chengdu? Yuan won't go to Guangdong Province. "Zhou Shijie said vigilantly.
Leader Zhao from Lu Province had made a good start. After him, leaders from Zhejiang Province, Jiangsu Province, and Yunnan Province had also secretly come to Chengdu to take revenge. Unfortunately, they were all seen through by Secretary General Ge, who had increased his vigilance and raised his guard. Then, it was just a matter of drinking tea at the table.
Therefore, Zhou Shijie was a little paranoid. When he heard that Song Ming was in Chengdu, his first reaction was that another person had come to poach him.
"What the hell? Yuan is the honorary vice chairman of our Cantonese Cuisine Association. He is originally a member of our Cantonese Cuisine Association. Is there a need for him to go there?" Song Ming spat harshly.
"That's right. But why are you in Chengdu?"
As long as it wasn't a poaching, everything else was fine. Zhou Shijie heaved a sigh of relief. He was still very curious about Song Ming's purpose in coming to Chengdu.
Old Song was very responsible. If it wasn't for something, he wouldn't have come. Otherwise, he wouldn't have called to show off the Monkey Wine. Unfortunately, he had miscalculated this time.
