When Liu Wenhui and the others finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant, someone happened to arrive in Chengdu.
"Alas, I'm getting old. I used to feel energetic even if I stood by the stove for a whole day. Now I can't." Ding Yang felt as if someone had put a steel bar in his waist. He hammered his old waist and felt more energetic.
"It's not a matter of age. Even young people can't stand flying for a long time," Du Yundong comforted him.
"Old Du, you still don't admit defeat?" Ding Yang couldn't help saying.
"I've only admitted defeat twice in my life. The first time was when I failed to enter a university. The second time was when I didn't know how to use a knife and fork. As for admitting defeat, who? Why should I admit defeat? I can stand by the stove for a whole day now. Many chefs can't do that, "Du Yundong said.
Before Ding Yang could say anything, Meng Guangping said, "You can stand there for a whole day. Let's see if you can throw the pot away. You have to admit defeat when you're old."
He spoke righteously, completely forgetting that a few months ago, he had been sent to the hospital because he wanted to practice his cooking skills more. It took him several days to recover. After all, there was only one Wang Jike in the kitchen.
After chatting, Meng Guangping got down to business, "Do you think we can meet Head Chef Yuan smoothly this time?"
They came here this time because they wanted to personally taste the Hunan Cuisine cooked by Yuan Zhou and see if they could make a breakthrough from the taste.
Although the oldest among them was already 63 years old, their enthusiasm for cooking was no less than that of young people. They believed that they could still make progress.
These three were rare chefs who still insisted on cooking for their customers at this age. Although they didn't cook every day, they would at least cook for a few days a month.
Secondly, he hoped to get the exact information from Yuan Zhou about when the nominal disciples of Hunan Cuisine could be accepted. Why not Shandong Cuisine, Cantonese Cuisine and so on? Hunan Cuisine was the only exception.
Ke Sen and Lu Wei were the presidium members of the Qianzhou Cuisine Association.
Li Youcai and Ceng Youwei were the vice president of Yunnan Cuisine Association and the honorary president.
Wang Mingjie was the vice president of Jiangsu Cuisine Association and Luo Qing was the presidium member of Jiangsu Cuisine Association.
Cheng Zhao Mei was the president of the Sichuan Cuisine Association, Cao Zhishu was the executive vice president, and Zhang He was the executive director.
Huang Gang and Zhang Longquan were currently competing for the position of chairman of the Cantonese Cuisine Association, because Song Ming was ready to step down from his responsibilities. Not only the chairman of the Cantonese Cuisine Association, but also the vice chairman of the Chef's Alliance.
Zhuang Lei and Gu Qi were both executive directors of the Shandong Cuisine Association.
"Look, what's Yuan Zhou's status in China's culinary world?
Of course, Meng Guangping and the others had selectively forgotten about the pitiful Qin cuisine and Zhejiang cuisine.
Therefore, when they heard that Yuan Zhou was going to produce Hunan Cuisine, they couldn't sit still. They had to confirm it as soon as possible. This was related to the future of Hunan Cuisine.
Although they also knew that Yuan Zhou would be very tired and felt sorry for him, for the development of Hunan Cuisine, they had to go all out.
"It should be smooth. Head Chef Yuan is one of the few top-notch chefs who are both virtuous and skilled. Look at what he has done previously. He has done it for the sake of China's culinary world," said Du Yundong earnestly.
"A chef like Head Chef Yuan hasn't appeared in thousands of years. It's really a blessing for our culinary world," Ding Yang sighed with emotion.
Back then, when Yuan Zhou had just appeared, Ding Yang just felt that there was a junior with good craftsmanship in the culinary world. Not long after that, Ding Yang had reached the point where he needed to raise his head to look at Head Chef Yuan. It was true that heroes were born in this era.
"Then we have to prepare well and try to help reduce some troubles. Don't let Head Chef Yuan worry about it," Meng Guangping thought for a while and said.
"That's right," Ding Yang and Du Yundong agreed.
"Chairman, vice chairman, directors, I'm here." Little Yu saw three old men walking out at first glance.
One had gray hair and the other two had gray hair, which were very conspicuous.
After receiving them, Little Yu directly sent them to the hotel he had booked. Of course, the hotels near Taoxi Road were all full. So, they had to find a hotel within three kilometers to solve the problem.
"Lunchtime is over. It's still early for dinner. Chairman, you can take a rest first. I'll pick you up at four in the afternoon and bring you to line up for dinner. How about that?" Little Yu looked at his watch and suggested.
"No problem. We just need to take a rest. Come on time. There will definitely be a lot of people when a new dish is released. Let's go there early," Meng Guangping said.
"Okay, Chairman," Little Yu answered.
After they discussed the time, Little Yu left. Meng Guangping and the others also went back to their rooms to take a rest.
They all appeared to be in high spirits. But they were old and their bodies couldn't take it anymore. They needed to rest and recover.
After Yuan Zhou's lunch time ended, he tidied up the kitchen and continued practicing his knife skills.
After a few days of practice, Yuan Zhou could now cut the radish into slices of the same thickness. Although the slices were thick, they were about the thickness of a finger.
"This thickness is definitely not good enough. I have to practice more. But I have some other ideas," Yuan Zhou waved his left hand and felt it before continuing.
"Duo Duo Duo"
The kitchen knife connected with the chopping board and emitted a dull sound. It was very quiet in the kitchen, except for this sound and the slight sound of the radish.
The sun was strong in the afternoon. After lunch, Rice and the others sat under the eaves and enjoyed the cool breeze. They appeared to be quite leisurely. Romeo didn't come to snatch their food. The rice soup and noodles became more and more snacks. Of course, they had to be careful of Meat Fatty and Meat Juicy.
Ever since Meat Fatty Fatty grew up, it had teamed up with Meaty Fatty to rob Rice and the others of their snacks. It was exactly the same as the Black Beast.
Time passed bit by bit while Yuan Zhou practiced his culinary skills. Soon, it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
"Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling"
The familiar bell rang and interrupted Yuan Zhou's thoughts of continuing his practice.
"So it's already so late," Yuan Zhou woke up from his stupor and looked at the time.
It was already 4: 30 pm. It was indeed late.
After tidying up the kitchen, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up and change his clothes. Then, he came downstairs to prepare the things needed for dinner.
Just when Yuan Zhou was preparing dinner, Meng Guangping and the other two had arrived at Taoxi Road under Little Yu's lead. It was a coincidence that they arrived early and almost snatched the first and second places from Wu Hai and the others.
They almost occupied the first four places because of the large number of people. It was also at this time that the black beast showed its true strength. It directly relied on its keen seventh sense and flexible and versatile skills to keep the first place.
There were already a lot of people at lunchtime, but there were even more people in the evening. After all, only a few people had time to come out for lunch at noon. The main event was in the evening.
For example, Manman had to look after the cake shop during the day and rushed here at full speed in the evening. However, she was still at the back of the line.
The large number of people were in good order, which made Meng Guangping and the others click their tongues in wonder. They had never seen the customers of any restaurant maintain order spontaneously. Only the Kitchen God could see such a scene.
They were the first in the line. Therefore, Meng Guangping and the others entered the restaurant as soon as dinnertime began.
In order to see Yuan Zhou's movements clearly, the three of them chose the seats beside the hairy bear and sat down together. As for Little Yu, he had already been forgotten by the three of them.
As soon as Meng Guangping and the others entered the restaurant, they stared at Yuan Zhou. With his keen five senses, Yuan Zhou naturally discovered their gazes early on. However, there were quite a number of people who stared at Yuan Zhou with fervent gazes, especially Wu Hai. Therefore, he only took a glance at Meng Guangping and the others and felt they looked familiar.
