As Singapore's national treasure chef, even the chefs of Singapore's state banquets were his disciples. One could imagine his status.
Because of this, Opello was the same as Yuan Zhou, paying special attention to the development of chefs in his own country.
Currently, the only exchange with China was the Asian Cultural Exchange, which was held once every few years.
Now, France, far away in Europe, had reached an agreement with China first. However, Singapore, which was also in Asia, was lagging behind.
"I remember Chairman Zhou also wanted to establish a national food exchange with Italy, France, and other countries, but it didn't go well. Why did the first exchange end in just half a year?"
Opello was originally sitting on the chair leisurely, listening to his eldest disciple share the news. But now, he couldn't sit still anymore.
"Moreover, will Ju Man Lee, a French-only foodie, come to China?" Opello didn't like Ju Man Lee very much. If he didn't know he couldn't win, he would have challenged Ju Man Lee to a duel.
For example, Ju Man Lee's comment on Singapore's cuisine was a combination of Malaysia, China, and Thailand, with nothing of its own.
By the way, Ju Man Lee's previous comment on China's cuisine was that it was more famous than practical, and it was overpraised in the history of the country.
Now, the cuisine was as magnificent as the history.
Ever since he communicated with Yuan Zhou, Opello had foreseen that the Chinese food culture might become the international mainstream. Otherwise, he wouldn't have specially instructed his disciples to do so. Tang Le wouldn't have specially gone to Chengdu in China to have a look when he visited Yuan Zhou.
Originally, Opello's plan was to personally lead a team to Chengdu, China, to meet with Yuan Zhou and other top chefs of China again after his seclusion training. This was to have a closer Sino-Singapore food exchange. By the way, the exchange between China, France, and Japan was not only a collision between chefs, but also a certain impact on the entire country's food trade.
Now, before he could carry out the next step of his plan, he suddenly found that someone wanted to take the blame. How could he tolerate this?
"Master, as far as I know, Head Chef Ju Man Lee admires Head Chef Yuan very much and praises China's cuisine," said Tang Le.
"No …" Halfway through his words, Opello suddenly recalled Yuan Zhou's strength and swallowed the rest of his words.
Since Yuan Zhou could directly conquer him, of course, he could also conquer the stubborn Ju Man Lee. This was nothing surprising.
"Looks like Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills can really change people," Opello muttered.
After thinking for a while, Opello suddenly stood up and said, "Tang Le, contact Bai Ye and Li Dehua to see the latest arrangements. We need to set off for China as soon as possible. Since France is already one step ahead, we can't fall behind since we're from the same continent. We have to hurry. This exchange might be an opportunity for Singapore's cuisine to move in a new direction. We must take this seriously."
"Yes, Master. I'll contact them now," Tang Le replied.
As someone who had personally witnessed and even tasted the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou, Tang Le clearly understood how terrifying Yuan Zhou's strength was. Originally, a large portion of Singapore's cuisine originated from the improvement and extension of Chinese cuisine. Therefore, it would definitely be beneficial to interact with such a great chef.
While Opello was planning the exchange between Singapore and China, Yuan Zhou was completely unaware of it. And Ju Man Lee's arrival wasn't just to have a few meals.
The other associations had also received the same news. Honestly speaking, Ju Man Lee was quite famous in the top-notch culinary circle. Therefore, it caused quite a lot of chain reactions.
For example, Japan's Fujiwara Jiayuan personally called Oishi to inquire about this matter. He also asked if Japan could actually change the exchange between China and Japan to twice a year.
Naturally, Thailand had the same reaction as Japan. Of course, since they had yet to conduct the exchange, their country was already making preparations. It would be best to have a wave of exchanges in all aspects.
As for the other Asian countries, they naturally started looking for ways to come to China for the exchange. Therefore, the government received quite a number of exchange applications from various countries, causing the exchange to become much more lively.
Incidentally, because Ju Man Lee had a meal at Li Li's western restaurant and even taught him a few skills, Li Li had profited again.
As it was nearing dinner time, Taoxi Road was still very lively.
Although Wuhai wasn't there, everyone's enthusiasm for lining up didn't decrease. Moreover, the first and second positions had to be rearranged. As no one had Wuhai's skills, they could only take turns to be the banker and see who had better luck.
Tonight, the first position was the well-deserved Queen. Jiang Changxi took the lead. Even Wuhai didn't dare to be stubborn in front of Queen Jiang, let alone the others.
"It's a pity that Wuhai isn't here today." Jiang Changxi curled a strand of long hair that fell beside her ear and had a regretful expression on her face.
"I don't think Wuhai needs such treatment." It was rare for Wu Yungui to follow behind Jiang Changxi.
This time, the two of them had arranged to discuss some cooperation. The location of the discussion was naturally at Wu Yungui's gourmet city. It was so that it would be convenient for them to have dinner and celebrate the cooperation.
The two of them came very early. To be able to occupy the first and second positions was definitely due to their capabilities.
"The Wu Hai you are talking about, isn't he the most famous young painter in Huaxia who is also known as the Eaves of Europe?" Qiao Hongtao, who was tall and strong and looked very rugged, asked behind Wu Yungui.
He was also the third party who discussed cooperation with Wu Yungui and Jiang Changxi today. After the discussion, he was dragged here to line up by the two who said that they would be the host.
The reason why he knew the name of Wuhai was that although Qiao Hongtao looked rough, he was actually very fond of attaching himself to the arts. He was especially fond of paintings. Regardless of oil paintings or ink and wash paintings, he had collected quite a lot of them. Although he didn't necessarily know much about them, he could still say a few words about some famous painters.
What Wu Yungui and Jiang Changxi mentioned was very different from what he had heard about Painter Wu. However, he believed that what they mentioned was definitely not to be underestimated. This was the experience that Qiao Hongtao had obtained after discussing cooperation for the whole day.
"Yes, that's him." Wu Yungui nodded and said.
"So Painter Wu also likes to eat here? Then I will definitely have a good taste of the food that the great painter likes to eat, "Qiao Hongtao said.
Originally, he wasn't very interested in what to eat, but now he was in high spirits. In the future, when he returned to China, he could say that he had eaten the food that Painter Wuhai liked to eat. Rounding it up, it was equivalent to having eaten together with Wuhai. The people in the circle would definitely be very envious.
Qiao Hongtao was a Singaporean Chinese. This time, he came to cooperate with them because of the matter of Wu Yungui Food City. Of course, the reason why Jiang Changxi was with him was a sad story for Wu Yungui. Let's not talk about it for the time being.
"The food here, Boss Yuan, will definitely be an eye-opener for you. There are authentic Singaporean delicacies. Mr. Qiao, you can try them later," Jiang Changxi added.
Boss Yuan? Qiao Hongtao felt that it was a little familiar. He might have heard of it before, but he couldn't recall it at the moment and didn't care. Instead, he was a little more interested in the authentic Singaporean delicacies that Jiang Changxi mentioned.
