At first, Chen Mu looked like a person suffering from anorexia. He was as thin as a stick, but that wasn't the case. As a human, he was just too picky. He didn't want to eat anything. His biggest problem was that he couldn't eat anything, including the food he cooked himself.
Of course, some people would say that he wasn't hungry. If he was hungry, why couldn't he eat? But that wasn't the case. Chen Mu would just eat something when he was hungry. That was why he was so thin.
Ever since Chen Mu tasted the food cooked by Yuan Zhou for the first time, he had been astonished. That was because no matter what Yuan Zhou cooked, he could eat it. Moreover, he ate quite a lot. Therefore, as long as he had time, Chen Mu would go to Chengdu every month and stay there for a few days to eat Yuan Zhou's food.
Recently, Chen Mu was no longer the same as before. Although he was still thin, he looked lean and not sickly thin. That was why he could become the chairman of Jiangxi Cuisine. If he was in his previous state, no matter how good his culinary skills were, no one would dare to let him become the chairman. Think about it, a chairman of a cuisine that looked like he was suffering from anorexia.
What kind of negative publicity did he have for this cuisine?
Therefore, Yuan Zhou played a part in Chen Mu becoming the chairman this time.
Of course, Yuan Zhou definitely didn't know about this. After thanking Wang Huai, he planned to hang up the phone.
But before he hung up, Wang Huai said something.
"Head Chef Yuan took a five-day leave. Will he be back on time?" Wang Huai suddenly asked.
Of course, he knew that Yuan Zhou was very punctual and abided by the rules. But that didn't stop him from asking. He had originally planned to go to the restaurant to have a sumptuous lunch today on a whim. Unexpectedly, he saw a piece of blank paper and a group of people surrounding him. Then, he found out that Yuan Zhou had asked for leave. What a coincidence.
Now that he had met the person in question, he naturally hoped to get confirmation to calm down.
Actually, it wasn't only Wang Huai that thought this way. Many of the customers had the same thought. Although Yuan Zhou always said he would take a few days off, every time Yuan Zhou took a leave, they would have to wait until Yuan Zhou opened his restaurant before they could feel at ease.
It had nothing to do with trust. It was just that he couldn't feel at ease if Yuan Zhou didn't open his shop.
"Hmm?" Yuan Zhou was confused by the question. He paused for a moment and said, "I'm sure I can go back on time. I'll open the shop on time."
Although he didn't know why Old Man Wang asked this, Yuan Zhou still answered according to his own thoughts.
"That's good, that's good." Wang Huai felt that he could finally relax. After thinking for a while, he said, "Head Chef Yuan, I would like to take advantage of my seniority and reserve the donkey banquet for lunch that day. What do you think? It's my birthday. "
Wang Huai remembered that there was an important day in a few days, so he immediately booked the banquet that he had been looking forward to.
"No problem. A donkey banquet. Currently, we have the Lu style ones in the restaurant. Is this the one you are talking about, Master Wang?" Yuan Zhou confirmed.
"Yes, this one," Wang Huai said.
Nowadays, everyone said that Ji Province was famous for its donkey barbecue and that it was a province that ate donkeys. However, Wang Huai had immersed himself in the culinary arts for his entire life and naturally knew that the authentic donkey cooking method was Lu Province. Therefore, the donkey banquet he wanted to eat was also Lu style.
"I've already noted it down. Just wait for Master Wang to bring someone over," Yuan Zhou wrote it down in his memo.
After confirming that he had finished talking about this important matter, Wang Huai chatted with Yuan Zhou for a while more before hanging up.
Yuan Zhou didn't stop after hanging up. He immediately searched for Chen Mu's number and called him. Naturally, Chen Mu was very excited when he received Yuan Zhou's call, especially when he found out that Yuan Zhou was in Gan Province recently. If he wasn't in the provincial capital, he would have rushed over immediately.
When Wang Huai heard that Yuan Zhou needed his help, he asked if he had time to talk about it in detail before asking what it was. Then, according to Yuan Zhou's schedule and schedule, he set the meeting time to be in the afternoon on the day that Yuan Zhou was going back.
Yuan Zhou told Wang Huai that he could go back on time because he had already bought the ticket for the fifth day at eight o 'clock in the evening. He could go back and rest so that he would be full of energy for the opening of the restaurant the next day.
Yuan Zhou had already promised Auntie Wu that he would help Wang Huai until noon five days later. Therefore, he had plenty of time, especially since Chen Mu had set the meeting place in Jingdezhen. He would come over directly, so he had even more time.
In the following days, Yuan Zhou was very busy. He woke up early in the morning and had breakfast. Then, he went to learn how to make black pottery from Master Ge and Master Ju. He also discussed some basic knowledge about porcelain. At noon, he rushed to the Life Kitchen to help. In the afternoon, he went to study again. At night, he rushed back to the kitchen to cut vegetables. Finally, he had dinner in the restaurant and went back to the hotel to rest.
The next day, he would be busy again. While Yuan Zhou was busy, Auntie Wu and Old Wang had the easiest time. It was mainly because Yuan Zhou was fast and efficient. He could handle everything clearly. For example, someone had obtained a wild turtle and wanted to make soup for his family. Unfortunately, Old Wang had never cooked this thing before. It was Yuan Zhou who chopped it up and told Old Wang how to make it.
Therefore, when it was noon on the fifth day, Auntie Wu was really reluctant to let Yuan Zhou go.
"Yuan, remember to visit your Auntie Wu and Uncle Wang when you have time in the future. Don't forget us." Auntie Wu was very reluctant to let Yuan Zhou go. Her eyes were almost filled with tears.
"Yuan is a capable person. He definitely can't stay here forever. Why are you saying this?" Old Wang said to Auntie Wu.
"Don't worry, Auntie Wu, Uncle Wang. I will definitely come back to help when I have time. Just don't complain that I eat too much." Yuan Zhou was a little sad.
All good things must come to an end. Although he felt that his days here were very fulfilling, he still had a group of hungry customers waiting to feed him.
Just Wu Hai alone would greet him three times a day. He would also ask about the arrival time of the plane. He said that he was afraid that Yuan Zhou would be tired and that it would not be troublesome for him to pick him up. As for whether or not Yuan Zhou wanted to freeload a midnight snack, only the Black Beast knew.
"You need to eat more to grow well. You are still young, so you should eat more. If you don't eat much, then you should worry," Auntie Wu immediately said.
Even Old Wang nodded, clearly agreeing with Auntie Wu's words.
Because of Auntie Wu and Old Wang's reluctance, Yuan Zhou spent almost half an hour saying goodbye. When he finally left, he even brought along some Gan Province specialties that Old Wang had personally prepared. They were some dried fragrant ru, wood ear, stone fungus, magnolia slices, etc.
After saying goodbye to the enthusiastic Auntie Wu and Old Wang, Yuan Zhou didn't take long to return to the hotel. As he needed to meet Chen Mu, Yuan Zhou extended his room for another day. He planned to meet Chen Mu in his room.
Yuan Zhou stayed in a suite. The place was quite big. Even if he met Chen Mu in his room, he wouldn't feel cramped.
After Yuan Zhou washed up and changed a new set of clothes, he heard the doorbell ringing, "Ding Dong, Ding Dong".
"It must be Director Chen." Yuan Zhou looked at himself. After confirming that there were no problems, he walked to the door to open it.
