Humans were creatures of atmosphere. When everyone abided by one thing, others would also abide by it. When everyone acted according to a standard, others would also acquiesce.
Taoxi Road had an advantage over other food streets. Tourists would know whether the food was delicious or not after visiting it once.
"Taoxi Road looks really lively. It's already so late, but there are still so many people on the street," Gan Zhong sighed.
It was almost one o 'clock. Logically speaking, it was time for people to take a break after lunch, or they were in a hurry to have lunch. However, there were still a lot of people on Taoxi Road. They were not in a hurry, and it was obvious that they were shopping.
"Indeed, it's much livelier than the night market in Chang 'an. It's daytime now. I wonder if it's as lively at night," Manager Wang said.
"We can walk around after dinner and find out." Miao Zhonghua thought they could eat more for dinner. After all, they still had to go shopping after dinner, which would definitely consume a lot of calories.
"Well, there are all kinds of stalls here, and they are very orderly. I think we can learn something from the night market in Chang 'an," Huo Ting said after observing for a while.
The stalls on Taoxi Road were now all-inclusive. They sold all kinds of things, including food, clothing, housing, transportation, and entertainment. Moreover, they all had the same ceiling and font, and the style was very uniform. They looked very neat and clean.
"It's really good. We can learn a lot from them. The street office must have contributed a lot," Yan Xiliang nodded and said.
In fact, this sentence was both right and wrong. Director Wang did put in a lot of effort, but the most important factor was definitely Yuan Zhou. It was because of him that Taoxi Road could enjoy its current prosperity.
Yan Xiliang and the others strolled along the street, observing the advantages of Taoxi Road and planning to learn from them. They were waiting for the end of the lunch hour, so they were relatively leisurely. On the other side, someone was very busy.
"Senior Brother, I think you don't have to go to Huaxia in person. Didn't you just stay in the hospital for a while? You should pay attention to your health. You can rest assured with me around," Qin Chuan said seriously.
What he said was quite convincing, as if he was especially considerate of others. But when Opello heard it, he felt uncomfortable. What did he mean by taking care of his health? He was clearly still very young, the kind of person who didn't need to rest after cooking a table of dishes.
The eldest disciple, Tang Le, asked, "Master, what Martial Uncle said makes sense. Is there really nothing wrong with your body?"
Tang Le, on the other hand, was really worried. The expression on his face was almost twisted, showing how anxious he was.
"Teacher's father, Master is right. It's not a big problem to cooperate with us. China will definitely be happy to cooperate with us. After all, it's a win-win situation." Ma Minghui also persuaded.
Although his master, Teacher's father, and Grand Uncle all looked at him as if he was a fool, Ma Minghui felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said.
There was nothing wrong with what he said. However, the others all knew that Opello had an ulterior motive. He just wanted to taste the Singaporean dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou and have a chance to learn from each other.
It was also Opello's bad luck. Previously, when he received the news that Ju Man Li and the others had gone to Chengdu and had already contacted Yuan Zhou, he immediately couldn't sit still.
Originally, he had planned to prepare for a month or two before formally submitting the application. But now, Opello planned to go as soon as possible. Since the first place had already been taken, it would be unreasonable if the second place was also taken.
Therefore, although Opello requested to speed up at the last minute, he had already started preparing for this matter after the 10-person round-table meeting with Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he wouldn't make any mistakes in the midst of being busy. However, after a few days, when everything was ready and they were about to set off, Opello fell sick.
He was already old and had been in seclusion to study new dishes. Now that he had come out, he didn't even have a good rest and was constantly busy. Naturally, his body couldn't take it anymore.
Then, he stayed in the hospital for a week. Not long after he came out, he immediately led a team to go to China. This inevitably caused others to worry.
As for whether Qin Chuan was truly worried or not, only Heaven and Earth knew. Only Qin Chuan himself knew.
"I'm very healthy. Moreover, I have already promised Head Chef Yuan that I will visit him when I have time. I am a person of my word and will definitely keep my promise. If Junior Brother feels that it's too troublesome, you can stay in China. I will be back soon," Opello said confidently.
"Head Chef Yuan? Is it the Head Chef Yuan who defeated Teacher's father? I can meet him now? That's great, "Ma Minghui was overjoyed when he heard that. He felt excited as if he was about to meet his idol.
Ever since Ma Minghui got to know the name and deeds of Yuan Zhou from his master, he had started to worship Yuan Zhou unilaterally. He would also pay attention to collecting news about Yuan Zhou in normal times, just like how a small fan would pay attention to his main card. If he didn't read the news about Yuan Zhou every day, he would feel uncomfortable all over.
Qiao Hongtao might have felt that Ma Minghui was super amazing, saying that his dishes were the most authentic and so on. However, the 35-year-old Ma Minghui had yet to finish his apprenticeship. Although his culinary skills were pretty good, Tang Le felt that he still needed more practice. Therefore, Ma Minghui didn't have the freedom to practice his culinary skills in Singapore every day. He couldn't go to Chengdu to meet Yuan Zhou personally.
Ma Minghui was overjoyed to be able to meet Yuan Zhou on this trip to China to seek cooperation.
"Head Chef Qin and Head Chef Opello have a really good relationship. With the two of them here, there shouldn't be any problems in the exchange of culinary skills," said the official representative, Bai Ye, to smooth things over.
He was in charge of developing other cooperation exchanges. He was an old acquaintance of Opello and the others, so he spoke more casually.
Since Bai Ye had spoken, Opello and the others also took the opportunity to reconcile. They looked happy and harmonious, as if the conflict just now had never happened.
"The boarding is about to begin. Let's go." Bai Ye noticed that it was getting late and called a group of people toward the boarding gate.
This group was obviously much bigger than the one that Opello and the others had gone to meet Yuan Zhou previously. Of course, there weren't many chefs here. Apart from Opello and his two disciples, there was only Qin Chuan and Li Dehua.
As a famous chef in Singapore, although he couldn't be compared to Qin Chuan and Opello, he still had a place in Singapore. In addition, he had gone to meet Yuan Zhou previously and could be considered an acquaintance. Naturally, he had to count him in as well.
After all, they were representing Singapore this time. They weren't Singaporean citizens, so it wasn't appropriate for them to go. Therefore, they were very envious of Li Dehua who could tag along.
Yuan Zhou didn't know that Opello had already brought his people to China. After lunch time ended, he sent all the customers away and went upstairs to change his clothes. After making tea, he was about to look for Yan Xiliang and the others when he saw them enter the door.
They had already greeted each other previously. Therefore, after both parties sat down, they went straight to the main topic. As they had just eaten a lot of Qin dishes made by Yuan Zhou, they naturally had a lot of questions. Therefore, Yan Xiliang and the others asked questions one by one according to the order they had agreed on.
