When they arrived at Taoxi Road, especially during the business hours of the restaurant, it was not only crowded but also joyful. Because a large group of customers could be seen doing all kinds of strange things just to get in line.
There was no need to talk about the Black Beast, it was always number one.
There were also new dishes every day. Haozi was miserable today. He came at the usual time, but there was no seat left.
He didn't eat it, mainly because he didn't write any new food tasting notes in the notebook, which made him feel uncomfortable all over. His originally calm mood also became a little irritable.
He walked home gloomily. Let's not talk about Haozi's matter for the time being. Lunchtime was wonderful as usual. Even though many people didn't get to eat, they still filled their stomachs on Taoxi Road. After all, there was a Western restaurant as a spare tire. In addition, Li Li was clever and quick-witted, so most of the customers were diverted away.
Taoxi Road was currently the No.1 snack street in Chengdu. It was absolutely a holy place to punch in.
When the business hours were over, Yuan Zhou dealt with his own affairs quickly. He knew that Opello and his companions had come for lunch, so it only took him 10 minutes to deal with all the affairs. Then, Opello appeared as if he was stuck in time.
Both parties had a friendly exchange yesterday, so they didn't say too many polite words and went straight to the topic today.
At the beginning of the exchange, they talked about the dishes they ate at noon and some problems of the dishes they ate last night.
Both parties talked with each other enthusiastically.
While they were busy here, Zhou Shijie of the Chef's Association almost jumped up.
"Did you just say that Opello and his companions have been stationed in the restaurant for two days?" Zhou Shijie raised his voice a little. Obviously, he didn't like Zhong Lili's news.
"Yes, chairman. It's said that Head Chef Opello and his companions have been to The Kitchen God since yesterday. Not only did they eat, but they also had an exchange with Head Chef Yuan. They will also have an exchange this afternoon. It should be going on now." Zhong Lili raised her hand and looked at her watch.
"Pa"
Zhou Shijie patted the table with his palm. Obviously, he was very angry.
"I don't even have time to exchange with Yuan. Isn't Opello here to talk about the exchange meeting? Why does he have time to disturb Yuan? He doesn't have proper business!" Zhou Shijie took a breath and said.
It wasn't that Yuan Zhou didn't want to exchange with Zhou Shijie. On the contrary, Yuan Zhou had always regarded Zhou Shijie as his elder. So as long as Zhou Shijie asked, Yuan Zhou would absolutely spare time.
The problem was that, firstly, Zhou Shijie was really busy. Secondly, even if Zhou Shijie could be regarded as a genius in culinary skills, he was still far behind Yuan Zhou. A single exchange would be enough for him to ponder and improve himself for a long time.
But this couldn't make Zhou Shijie understand Opello's behavior. Instead, he despised him, thinking that Opello was wasting Yuan Zhou's time. Even he couldn't digest the continuous exchange, so Opello definitely couldn't either.
Zhou Shijie paced back and forth in the office and was a little anxious. "No, I have to go and have a look. Yuan is too easy to talk to. I have to keep an eye on him in case Opello takes advantage of his seniority."
He acted immediately. After asking Zhong Lili to postpone the meeting in the afternoon, Zhou Shijie took her to The Kitchen God. He planned to come here if the mountain didn't want to come here.
Since Opello didn't come to the Chef's Alliance to talk about the exchange of cooking skills between Singapore and China, he came to talk to Yuan Zhou in person. It was also the time to show his sense of ownership.
Of course, the key point was to supervise Opello not to suggest to Yuan Zhou that he should go abroad.
As a matter of fact, Zhou Shijie was also a talented person. While the exchange was coming to an end, Opello began to put forward the idea that they had thought about yesterday.
"Head Chef Yuan's cooking skills are improving with each passing day. As an old guy, I can't keep up with you. My mind is not as active as that of young people. No matter how much I hear, I have to digest it slowly." Opello was quite good at suppressing his desire first.
Then, he began to get to the point, "I wonder if Head Chef Yuan is interested in going to Singapore to give a lecture to those little guys and let them know the charm of the real Chinese cuisine and the essence of Singapore cuisine."
On hearing that, Yuan Zhou was shocked. It was like someone handed him a pillow when he was about to doze off.
The progress of the main mission was there. Although it was the easiest to complete it in Thailand, the progress in Singapore was also very impressive. Besides, Malaysia and Singapore were adjacent to each other and their cuisines were similar. There was a trend of getting along well with each other.
If he could increase the admiration of Singaporean chefs for him, he could also increase the admiration of Malaysian chefs.
"If it's an invitation from Head Chef Opello, that's fine too. But we need to think about it in the long run. Aren't we going to hold an exchange of chefs in Asia? We can take it slowly," Yuan Zhou understood that haste makes waste.
Yuan Zhou's words made Opello feel proud as he had agreed to the invitation for Yuan Zhou's sake. Opello continued, "I know Head Chef Yuan is busy, so we can split our plan into two parts. We can first shoot a teaching video of Singaporean cuisine. I will take it back to select the candidates that can participate in Head Chef Yuan's lecture. After that, we can decide on the time."
It was all for the sake of coming up with a perfect plan that could successfully invite the Great Master Yuan Zhou to Singapore. Every aspect had been considered thoroughly.
Yuan Zhou did not expect Opello to be such a godly assistant. He had already thought of a plan without even saying anything.
"What's so good about that? Yuan is usually so busy. Where would he find the time to shoot a video?" Zhou Shijie grumbled when he heard what he was most worried about.
"Chairman Zhou, why are you here?" When Yuan Zhou saw Zhou Shijie, he immediately stood up and went to greet him.
"Hahaha, I'm just here to take a look at Yuan. It's nothing," Zhou Shijie's expression was like that of a Sichuan opera.
He had been solemn when facing Opello a moment ago, but when he was in front of Yuan Zhou, he was full of smiles. He had truly demonstrated what it meant to change one's expression.
"Chairman Zhou, please have a seat. This tea tastes good. Have a taste," Yuan Zhou led Zhou Shijie over and sat down.
Opello smiled, "Chairman Zhou, you came at the right time. We were just discussing the matter of inviting Head Chef Yuan to Singapore for a culinary exchange. Head Chef Yuan's Singaporean cuisine is both authentic and delicious. He is a rare leading figure in this generation. It's really amazing that China has someone like Head Chef Yuan."
Originally, Zhou Shijie had made up his mind to keep a straight face until the end, but Opello's words simply touched the bottom of his heart. He always thought so. Opello's words were pleasant to hear and made him feel comfortable.
Now that he was happy, he couldn't keep a straight face anymore. Zhou Shijie relaxed his expression and said, "Of course! Yuan is the signature of our China Chef's Alliance. His culinary skills are unparalleled since ancient times. You can't find someone like him in thousands of years. "
Then, the two began to praise Yuan Zhou in all aspects. Even Yuan Zhou himself felt that they were definitely not talking about him. He thought inwardly, "Am I so excellent?"
Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that there was a thing called fan filter.
Of course, only Yuan Zhou himself had this feeling. Li Dehua, Tang Le, and the others all nodded their heads frequently and agreed with Opello and Zhou Shijie's words. Even Zhong Lili felt that the chairman was right. Yuan Zhou was such a person.
Praising the same person invisibly narrowed the distance between the two sides, and the atmosphere also eased a lot from the tension at the beginning.
Yuan Zhou finally let out a sigh of relief.
