A plane from France stopped at the airport. The Chenghua Airport was under construction. The environmental impact assessment had been approved by the military commission and the State Council.
Naset and other tycoons from Dubai wanted to invest in the airport, but it was arranged by the government. Naset didn't need to invest, but considering the development of Chengdu and Chenghua, an airport was indeed needed.
The plane landed in Chengdu, and a group of people alighted. They were very eye-catching. There were more than 30 people in total, and it was easy to see a group of people walking together. Moreover, among the yellow-skinned and black-eyed people, there were a few tall foreigners with blond hair, blue eyes, or white hair.
"I'm finally back," Zhou Shijie looked at the familiar blue sky and white clouds. Even the scorching sun felt more familiar.
Today was the day that Zhou Shijie led the exchange group back to China. They had gained a lot this time. Not only did they break into the circle of the European food circle with the help of Yuan Zhou, but they had also confirmed with France that the Sino-France exchange meeting would be held once a year in the future, and they had also confirmed with Italy and Spain that they had the intention to discuss about holding the exchange meeting. All of these were great successes.
Of course, they would have to find another time to confirm the details of the cooperation. But basically, it was already a done deal. It was mostly due to Yuan Zhou's contribution. The Bogus World Cooking Competition had attracted a lot of attention. Even the famous chefs were conquered by him and took the initiative to help him.
In fact, the culinary circle was a place that worshipped the strong.
"Zhou, have you arrived in China? How far is Yuan's restaurant? Can I eat it today?" Ju Man Li had a headache flying around, but he was no longer arrogant and cold. He was very enthusiastic.
Ju Man Li was a good person. It was good that he agreed with something, but if he didn't agree with it, then … Don't tell him that existence was reasonable. He just wished the other party didn't exist.
Back to the topic at hand, ever since the Yuan Zhou Cooking Competition made Ju Man Lee realize that Chinese cuisine could be compared with French cuisine and was even slightly superior, he became more patient with Zhou Shijie and the other Chinese chefs.
As soon as he got off the plane, Ju Man Li caught up with Zhou Shijie and asked when he could eat Yuan Zhou's delicacies. Because he was excited, he spoke very fast and he even spoke in French. If it wasn't for the translator following beside Zhou Shijie, Zhou Shijie wouldn't have understood a single word.
"Head Chef Ju Man, don't worry. This place is not far from Yuan Yuan's restaurant. You will definitely be able to eat it tonight," Zhou Shijie said with a smile.
It was a simple conversation in English. Chairman Zhou indicated that he didn't need an interpreter. He looked at the time and found that it was almost four o 'clock. It was definitely not a problem to go to Taoxi Road now. He could catch up with the queue.
"I know it's not far from Yuan's restaurant," Gao Si said.
This time, not only did Zhou Shijie bring everyone back, but he also brought some people with him.
Gao Si, Ju Man Li, Anthony, Alexandra, and the other judges also wanted to come, but they couldn't get away. Therefore, they could only watch these people follow Zhou Shijie and the other chefs away excitedly.
Among them, only Gao Si had been to The Kitchen God before. Even though he wasn't very familiar with the route, he could still estimate the approximate time. Therefore, he wasn't in a hurry.
"Fine." Ju Man Li recovered his serious expression and followed the line out with his hands behind his back.
The reason why Ju Man Li was so anxious was that he heard from Gao Si that the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhou's restaurant would be more delicious.
Could it be better?
It was said that the preparation of the ingredients was the better.
Ju Man Li was even more convinced that Gao Si was fooling him. How could the ingredients prepared by Bogus for the World Cooking Competition lose? Therefore, Ju Man Li was eager to know the answer.
"Not only is he good at cooking, but he is also talented in changing his facial expression." Zhou Shijie murmured inwardly.
Outside the airport, Zhong Lili came to pick them up with two cars. Zhou Shijie had told her in advance that they would arrive at about this time.
The big bus was to send the members of the exchange group back while the small bus was to send the foreign chefs to Zhou Shijie's restaurant. It was convenient for both parties and they were indeed put to use now.
"This bus is over here. We will set off for Yuan's restaurant in a while." Zhou Shijie called out to Ju Man Li and the others after he saw the bus.
After they all got on the bus, Zhou Shijie also followed them. As for the other members of the exchange group, they didn't need to be guided and could go back to their own homes. Therefore, Zhong Lili and the interpreter also followed behind Zhou Shijie.
It was mainly because Zhong Lili was worried about Zhou Shijie. He had been working around the clock without any rest ever since he came back. Therefore, she felt more at ease following him.
Not long after Yuan Zhou started to prepare the ingredients for dinner, the group of people arrived at Taoxi Road.
It wasn't long before the time to line up. Taoxi Road was bustling with people and looked very lively.
The vendors on both sides of the street were also extraordinarily active. It was a lively scene at first glance, which made Ju Man Li and the others who came to China for the first time very curious.
"It looks very lively and feels very good. No wonder such a talented chef like Yuan Zhou can be produced." Ju Man Li couldn't stop talking about Yuan Zhou now. It was as if he was the second Ogyust.
"It's indeed very lively. Bordraco can come and have a look," Alessandra said.
This time, the several people left their apprentices behind. In their minds, they might be robbed of the delicious food if they brought their apprentices with them. If they didn't bring their apprentices, they could eat more since there were fewer people. Therefore, they all came here by themselves.
Of course, the apprentices led by Bordraco didn't know their master's thoughts. They naively thought that it was indeed inconvenient for them to come here because there were too many people.
Zhou Shijie and Gauss were much calmer. The former was used to it while the latter had seen it several times. Although it wasn't so lively before and there seemed to be more vendors, Gauss believed that anything could happen around Yuan Zhou. There was no need to make a fuss.
Zhou Shijie and his companions were lucky. When they arrived, there were only ten people in front of them. It was obvious that they could be in the first batch. Therefore, Zhou Shijie took the lead and walked there quickly, followed by Gauss.
As for Zhong Lili and the others, they followed at the back to ensure that their international friends wouldn't be left behind.
"It turns out that Yuan Zhou's restaurant is here. It really has the characteristics of China and also suits Yuan Zhou's character of being indifferent to fame and fortune," Ju Man Li said while looking at the flamboyant signboard and the apparently simple shop.
Hearing that, Gauss and the others agreed with him. Then, they started a discussion about Yuan Zhou's indifference to fame and fortune. Even Zhou Shijie couldn't help joining in.
However, a group of people believed that they were right. Yuan Zhou was exactly such a person.
Of course, if Yuan Zhou knew about it, he would also say that he was indeed such a person and there was nothing wrong with it.
While Yuan Zhou was preparing the dishes earnestly, he didn't know that Ju Man Li and his companions, who had just parted ways in France, had come to Chengdu and were waiting outside the restaurant.
When dinnertime began, the customers streamed in. When Yuan Zhou waited at the partition as usual, he was surprised by the group of people led by Zhou Shijie. They were all familiar faces.
