"Second aunt's family has a table. Do you want to go?" Haozi's father asked.
"No." Haozi lowered his head.
Haozi's father nodded his head and didn't persuade him. Every time he brought Haozi to visit relatives, he would be asked all sorts of questions. He still wanted to save face.
"Then you stay at home alone. Eat whatever is in the fridge." Haozi's mother said. Then, they drove away with Haozi's younger brother.
Only Haozi was left at home. Originally, Haozi lived alone. However, due to his illness, he was asked to move back home. In fact, he felt that living together would affect him more.
As it was very early, Haozi took a look at his little notebook and intended to go back to sleep.
The sun rose very early in the summer morning. As a result, it was actually very early, but the heat of the sun was already very hot. It made people feel that it was already very late.
"Dadada, Dadada."
Since they had promised to come for breakfast the next day, Ju Man Lee and the others kept their words. They got up very early and rushed to The Kitchen God. They were just afraid that they would miss breakfast.
Even though they got up early, the hotel was far away. They decided to come to Chengdu at the last minute. There was no place to stay within the Second Ring Road of Taoxi Road. Even if Zhou Shijie called Wu Yungui, the latter couldn't do anything about it.
"Let's hurry up. Otherwise, we won't be able to catch up." Anthony was a little worried.
"Business starts at 8: 00 am and we start to line up at 7: 00 am. It's 6: 50 am now. It should be about time." Gauss looked at his watch and estimated the time silently.
"I think we can set off earlier tomorrow." Alexandra said.
"Indeed. I accept this suggestion. Let's set off earlier tomorrow morning." Ju Man Lee agreed.
It was the beginning of a new day, but he had already arranged everything for the next day. Was this what a chef was like? He was proactive in doing things and liked to prepare for a rainy day.
Gauss estimated the time correctly. They arrived at the intersection of Taoxi Road five minutes later. Although it was still early, the street was already very lively.
The vendors who had risen early to sell breakfast had already begun to shout. The customers who didn't want to eat breakfast at The Kitchen God had already taken their places.
Those who liked to eat steamed buns were at the stall selling steamed buns, those who liked to eat pancakes were at the pancake stall, and those who liked to eat noodles were at another pile. There was also a group of people who were obviously wandering between the restaurant and the customers in the queue. They couldn't make up their minds and decided to eat whatever Yuan Zhou was selling for breakfast today.
"China is indeed very lively. There are so many people so early in the morning." Anthony was very curious about China's culture.
"That is the truth." Ju Manli nodded. "There are still many restaurants open at midnight. China is really a good country."
There was also the last sentence that he didn't say. Last night, he wandered the streets alone and got lost. When he took out his phone, his phone ran out of battery.
In the end, a passerby who speaks English brought Ju Man Li back to the hotel. This made Ju Man Li's impression of China increase.
Yuan Zhou made Ju Man Li and the other chefs interested in China. What made Ju Man Li fall in love with this country were the ordinary people of this country.
"China has a great variety of breakfast," Alexandra said.
"Indeed. We can't even finish all the different types of breakfast even if we don't eat the same dishes every day." Gauss was the one who had the most right to speak. After all, he had been here many times.
Of course, he definitely didn't have as many as the three Michelin star chefs in Chengdu led by Dean.
But among Ju Man Li and the other chefs, he was still quite qualified.
"The queue is starting. Let's hurry up." Alexandra noticed the people in the queue had started to gather. She called her friends directly.
The restaurant was already in front of them. They were tall and had long legs. Very soon, they joined the queue. Because they came early, even if they were at the back of the queue, Gauss counted and felt they should be the first batch to enter the restaurant.
Although Alexandra was the first to make a sound, he was at the back of the few people in the queue. After him, there were the second batch of customers.
"Alexandra?"
A familiar voice passed from behind. Alexandra, who had just steadied herself, turned her head and saw a tall man. His facial features were chiseled and his eyes were brown. If one didn't look carefully, one would think he was an Asian.
Alexandra was very surprised to see him. "Mark, why are you here? Didn't you say you found an outstanding chef who went abroad?"
"Alexandra, my good friend. This is such a surprise. I didn't expect to see you here." Mark was very excited. He kissed Alexandra's cheek to express his excitement.
Mark was a royal chef of the Spanish royal family. Moreover, he was one of the top chefs. He was also very famous in the European circle.
Originally, Mark wanted to invite him to be a judge for the Bogus Cooking Competition this time. But when Alexandra contacted him, she said she found a new culinary star and wanted to take a look. Therefore, he didn't participate in the competition.
Actually, it was because Mark had been a judge for the previous few competitions. Besides, he knew most of the chefs participating in this year's competition and didn't have any new ideas. Therefore, Mark refused Alexandra's invitation directly.
But in China, especially when she saw Mark at the entrance of Yuan Zhou's restaurant, Alexandra was very surprised.
"Did he take Head Chef Yuan as a new star?" Alexandra suddenly had a bad premonition.
"My friend, don't mention it. My nephew told me there is a very delicious restaurant here and he wanted me to come and have a taste. Therefore, I came here. But China is really too big. I even got the wrong city. I just arrived here last night." Mark shrugged and revealed a helpless expression.
"The new culinary star you mentioned is the head chef of this restaurant?" Alexandra was a little speechless.
His words also attracted the attention of Ju Man Lee and the others in front. Who would be so daring to take Yuan Zhou as a new culinary star? They saw Mark's familiar face the moment they turned their heads.
Although Mark appeared to be in his 40s or 50s, he was actually about the same age as Ju Man Lee. They were all from the same generation and circle. They knew each other very well.
"Mark, you took Head Chef Yuan, such a talented top-notch chef, as a new culinary star. Is it because your eyesight hasn't recovered? Do Spanish people really have bad eyesight?" Ju Man Lee straightforwardly turned on the mocking mode. Most importantly, he liked to make comments all over the place. He really deserved a beating.
As a person who had known Ju Man Lee for a long time, Mark directly ignored him. Otherwise, he would be infuriated.
"Head Chef Mark, Head Chef Yuan is the surprise of this century's cooking circle. He's not a newcomer." Anthony said tactfully, but he still couldn't conceal his displeasure.
Since the contest and the dinner last night, Anthony had become a firm supporter of Yuan Zhou.
"Who on earth misled you?" Gauss asked.
Mark had originally wanted to retort back immediately after being criticized by Ju Man Lee. But then, the others started to talk. After he recalled what his good friend Alexandra said in his mind, Mark found the problem and realized something wasn't right.
They were all adults and not morons. If they couldn't see the problem even though it was so obvious, it couldn't be a simple matter of being brainless.
He had originally wanted to see which chef could cook the French White Wine Mussels so well. If possible, he wanted to take him as a registered disciple.
