There were five or six people, and they all looked familiar. As it was business hours, they couldn't exchange greetings. Yuan Zhou just nodded to them as a greeting.
"Head Chef Ju Man Li and Head Chef Alexandra, didn't they say that they would be very busy?" Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled.
It was Ogyust who told Yuan Zhou that due to the influence of the competition, they couldn't come to China with them. But they still came?
While Yuan Zhou was feeling puzzled, Gao Si was very enthusiastic. He waved his hand to signal to Yuan Zhou. He waved his hand far away so that people in the distance could see him. The foreigner was also enthusiastic. He probably had some new understanding of Chinese culture.
Ju Man Li and the others were more reserved. They all nodded to Yuan Zhou.
"Yuan, you go ahead with your work. I brought them here to eat." Zhou Shijie took the lead and walked to the front.
Then, he sat on the first seat beside the partition, followed by Ju Man Li. Originally, Gauss was the second. But when he sat down, Ju Man Li suddenly sat beside Zhou Shijie. So Gauss was the third.
Every time Zhou Shijie came, Wuhai would give up his seat. This was to make it convenient for Zhou Shijie to talk to Yuan Zhou. But this time, there were a lot of people.
"I've suffered a great loss this time. I need to eat more dishes." Wuhai muttered as he sat beside Zhong Lili.
"Brother Hai is so kind. But we still need to eat more dishes." Mao Xiong sat beside Wuhai.
Zhong Lili had almost never eaten in this restaurant with her own money. But it didn't mean that she didn't know Wuhai. As the black beast of the restaurant, he was very famous.
He was also famous for snatching dishes. Yu Daoyi and Gu Zhi had fought for the title of Golden Rice Bucket for two years but failed.
That's right, Gu Zhi was a rising star in Fan Tuoquan. He was very strong, and although he was only 20 years old and was still in university, according to Wuhai's evaluation, his future was limitless.
Zhong Lili looked at Wuhai and Mao Xiong and decided to bring a little less in case she couldn't protect them.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou. You must have just come back. Thank you for your hard work." Yuan Zhou hadn't entered the kitchen yet, so he still had some free time.
Zhou Shijie waved his hand and gestured for Yuan Zhou to get busy. Just then, Su Ruoyan came back with a menu and Yuan Zhou entered the kitchen.
He didn't choose Zhou Shijie's group first because Ju Man, Li, and the others had gathered together and said a long string of things. Apart from the translator who understood what they said, the rest were all confused.
Speaking of translator, Little Wu, could be regarded as the exclusive translator of the Chef's Alliance. He knew three languages, namely French, German, and English. Therefore, he followed them on many occasions. However, it was the first time that he came to The Kitchen God for a meal.
Although the Chef's Alliance was stationed in Chengdu, he didn't. Therefore, he had been friends with The Kitchen God for a long time.
"I have to taste it well this time and describe it to Little Yu in detail when I go back." Little Wu said like a colleague.
The Little Yu he mentioned was one of the translators of the Chef's Alliance who worked together with him. Although they were good at different things, they still had a lot of connections.
"What dishes are you going to order?" Ju Man Li came over with a thick menu.
"Anything. Anyway, I don't know what the dishes are." Gauss was quite easy-going.
He did that every time he came here. Anyway, the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou were all delicious. He would eat whatever he ordered. There was no problem at all.
"I think we should ask Little Wu which are the signature dishes. We can order those dishes." Alessandra felt this suggestion was more reliable.
As soon as he said that, not only Gauss, but also Anthony and Ju Man Li looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot. It was a little baffling.
"Don't you know that all the dishes served in Head Chef Yuan's restaurant are signature dishes?" Sitting beside him, Anthony was also a little surprised.
Everyone knew that as long as it was on the menu, it would be the signature dish of the restaurant.
"Ahem …"
Alessandra really didn't know that. He followed them here just because he was greedy and looked forward to the delicacies very much.
Gauss said that the dishes were even more delicious than those in the competition. Alessandra and Ju Man Li were different. He didn't doubt them, but he was looking forward to them very much. Since they could say that, it proved that the ingredients were of a certain standard.
But he still felt that Gauss's words were an exaggeration.
"Then just order whatever you like," Alessandra said.
At that time, Su Ruoyan had already ordered the dishes of other customers and walked to Zhou Shijie's table. She knew that most of the people brought here by Zhou Shijie were chefs, so she left some time for them to think about what dishes they wanted to eat.
Usually, chefs who came to the restaurant would either announce the dishes very quickly or take a long time to think about it. Su Ruoyan was already able to deal with it calmly.
Without waiting for Su Ruoyan to say anything, Zhou Shijie directly said, "Four Happiness Meatballs, one Pickled Fish Fillet, and one Clear Broth with Willow Leaf Bird's Nest will do."
Having just returned from overseas, there was nothing more comforting than a meal from his hometown.
Then it was Ju Man Li's turn. He felt that he might not be able to express the names of the dishes he wanted to eat in English, so he directly pointed at the dishes on the menu. [Pig's Blood Meatballs], [Fragrant Jade Waist], [Preserved Meat and Steamed].
"That's all."
These few days were the days when Hunan Cuisine would be served. Ju Man Li was lucky enough to directly flip to the Hunan Cuisine section and randomly order. He felt that these few English names seemed to be very long, so there should be a lot of dishes, enough to eat!
Gauss was very relaxed. He randomly flipped to a page on the menu and realized that he had not eaten any of the dishes on the menu before. Hence, he randomly pointed at the dishes. "Five-colored Glutinous Rice, Pork Pipa, Pork Heart Water Crisp."
He was used to checking the satiety of his stomach after eating a few dishes before ordering. This way, he could maximize the amount of food he could eat without wasting anything. This method was very useful and had been tried and tested many times.
Anthony also learned from Gauss. He felt that Gauss was experienced, so he randomly flipped to the Jiangsu Cuisine section and ordered [Fried Black Flower], [Lion's Head with Crab Meat], and [Salted Meat].
In comparison, Alexandra was much more assertive. He first ordered a steak, which he knew because steak was usually translated into English. "Wilton Steak, Mapo Tofu, Twice Cooked Pork. I know Mapo Tofu. It's very delicious."
He directly flipped to the Sichuan Cuisine section and ordered all Sichuan Cuisine. As a widely spread Chinese dish, Mapo Tofu was even more familiar with it.
They all ordered different dishes from different cuisines. Of course, they didn't know this yet. They just felt that the dishes they ordered should be delicious.
Zhong Lili and Lil Wu, on the other hand, were much easier to deal with. They flipped to the menu and picked two dishes that they wanted to eat. This was the convenience of Huaxia people. With their mother tongue, they could choose whatever they wanted.
The speed at which Yuan Zhou served the dishes was definitely one of the fastest in the world. Before Gauss and the rest could stare at Yuan Zhou's actions for too long, the dishes were served one after another.
The first dish to be served was Anthony's Salted Meat. This was a cold dish and had to be prepared in advance. Hence, it was the first to be served.
When it was served, a white mist could be seen coming out from it from afar. It felt cold just by looking at it. On a hot summer day, it felt very cool.
Although the temperature in the restaurant was constant and it was neither hot nor cold, compared to the scorching heat outside, the restaurant was simply like heaven. However, when one looked at the dish that was emitting cold air, one felt comfortable from the inside out.
Clang.
The plate was placed in front of Anthony. Only then did he see the true appearance of the Salted Meat.
