"Ka."
When the door was opened, it was indeed Chen Mu's unique face. Now that he had grown up, he had to pay attention to the image of Gan Cuisine. He was not much skinnier than before and still looked like a spirited old man.
Even if he was skinnier, it was still within the acceptable range. Many people knew the saying that money could not buy a skinny old man. Therefore, with this image, they no longer had to worry about Gan Cuisine being a dark cuisine.
"Head Chef Yuan, long time no see," Chen Mu smiled when he saw Yuan Zhou opening the door.
Chen Mu did not smile often. When he did, he appeared stiff, like a skeleton bride.
Oh, stupid Thomas, that's a strange analogy, but it's something like it.
He had rushed over alone to help Yuan Zhou. Only by doing things personally could he show his respect. This was what Chen Mu thought.
"Master Chen, long time no see. Sorry for the trouble," Yuan Zhou said as he led the way.
"Not at all. The fact that Head Chef Yuan could come to Gan Province is something worth celebrating. It is the honor of Gan Cuisine," Chen Mu said.
"It would be great if Head Chef Yuan could also accept in-name disciples," Chen Mu said. As the chairman, Chen Mu had a sense of responsibility.
Suddenly, the topic was brought to the long-awaited event of the Gan Cuisine Grandmasters. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Gan Cuisine Association was itching to make a move. They had already decided to select the names of the registered disciples first so that they wouldn't have to spend more time selecting and wasting Yuan Zhou's time.
No one doubted that Yuan Zhou would continue to accept in-name disciples from various cuisines. They were all waiting excitedly. Not only Gan Cuisine, but also Zhejiang Cuisine, Jin Cuisine, Beijing Cuisine, and Benbang Cuisine.
This was especially true after Hunan Cuisine and Qin Cuisine were given the opportunity. Although their own cuisines could not be compared to the eight major cuisines, they were still famous cuisines and would definitely get their turn.
They just had to be prepared when Yuan Zhou said he would accept in-name disciples. That was what everyone was looking forward to. But now, Yuan Zhou's decision to accept disciples had already exceeded the scope of this matter.
Because they had all been accepted as in-name disciples. If they did not, it would be embarrassing.
"At present, I still don't have a good grasp of Gan Cuisine. I need to learn more. I won't consider it for the time being," Yuan Zhou said.
The Gan Cuisine he was currently cooking was also at the grandmaster level, but it was naturally incomparable to the other cuisines that he had already obtained. Yuan Zhou was waiting for the system to issue a quest. After completing it, he would be able to obtain the Gan Cuisine reward. As for when that would be, he was not sure.
"It's fine. Head Chef Yuan has always been someone who strives for perfection. We all know that. Just take it slow," Chen Mu had already expected Yuan Zhou's answer.
As long as he knew for sure that Yuan Zhou was indeed planning to take in an in-name disciple of Gan Cuisine, this matter was not a big deal.
"What do you need me to do this time, Head Chef Yuan?" Chen Mu returned to the topic at hand.
"It's like this. Recently, when I was helping out at a restaurant nearby, I found out that they don't have enough funds. I plan to privately sponsor a batch of ingredients and deliver them to them for free every day at noon and at night. As for how to use them, we can discuss it later," Yuan Zhou said.
"Head Chef Yuan, you are helping out at a restaurant?" Chen Mu's focus was on this.
In his heart, he was wondering which restaurant was so amazing to be able to hire a chef like Yuan Zhou to help out. From what he said, it sounded like he was not even a head chef. That was unbelievable.
Even Chen Mu himself would not appear at a nameless restaurant just to help out. That was because his status and identity did not match. Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhou, who was even more amazing than him, was able to say it so calmly. In an instant, Chen Mu's admiration for Yuan Zhou rose.
In the past, he only admired Yuan Zhou's culinary skills. But now, he admired Yuan Zhou's personality.
Following that, Yuan Zhou's explanation proved this point.
"Head Chef Yuan's idea is very good. Although there is no branch in Jingdezhen, there are still quite a number of members. The quality of the ingredients will be guaranteed. Don't worry, Head Chef Yuan," Chen Mu promised.
It was impossible for him to help out as generously as Yuan Zhou. However, it was still not a problem for him to ensure the quality of the ingredients and adjust the prices.
"Alright. Thank you, Master Chen. When the time comes, I will get Wan Li to contact you. He will be in charge of everything in the future. Of course, if there is anything you need me to do, you can look for me directly," said Yuan Zhou.
Previously, after arranging a meeting time with Chen Mu, Yuan Zhou had already informed Wan Li. He was already on his way back to Gan Province. He would arrive today to discuss the details with Chen Mu.
"Alright, no problem," Chen Mu nodded.
In the following period of time, Yuan Zhou and Chen Mu settled on many details. Through Yuan Zhou's observation and summary of the past few days, he had a rough idea of the daily flow of patients. He planned to subsidize each patient's family with one dish per meal. That way, not only would he be able to save a lot of money, he would also be able to satisfy the needs of some needy families.
Don't look down on one dish. Sometimes, one dish was enough to fill a whole meal. This would greatly reduce the cost.
Of course, there was no threshold for receiving the ingredients. However, one could only receive one meat dish and one vegetable dish per day. In other words, if they received the meat dish for free at noon, they could only receive the vegetable dish for free at night. This would ensure fairness to a certain extent.
Yuan Zhou was well aware of the fact that if one raised the rice, one fought the rice, one would be the enemy. He wanted to help those who needed help and not those who wanted to fish in troubled waters. Hence, it was necessary for him to use the patient's medical records as proof to receive the ingredients.
As Chen Mu listened to Yuan Zhou explain the various details, he once again felt that not only was Yuan Zhou's culinary skills and character great, but his general ability to handle matters was also beyond the standard of ordinary people.
"Those who can become top chefs are not ordinary people," Chen Mu sighed in his heart.
After Wan Li successfully arrived and the three of them successfully met up, they went through the process again. Only then did Yuan Zhou bid farewell and planned to head to the airport.
After politely declining Wan Li and Chen Mu's offer to send him to the airport, Yuan Zhou took his suitcase and headed to the airport alone.
After sending off Yuan Zhou, Wan Li and Chen Mu didn't care about anything else. They started to make all sorts of arrangements.
After that, the two of them personally went to the Life Kitchen, planning to discuss the specific situation with the boss.
Naturally, the two of them received a warm welcome from Auntie Wu and Old Wang. That was because Yuan Zhou had asked them to handle this matter in the name of the chairman of the China Famous Chefs Alliance. After all, it sounded more convincing.
Therefore, although Auntie Wu and the others knew that the chairman's name was Yuan Zhou, they didn't connect it with the Yuan who worked in the restaurant.
At most, Auntie Wu sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect people with the surname Yuan to be so kind." That was also because Wan Li and the others didn't mention that Yuan Zhou had once helped them in the restaurant.
Things were going smoothly here. On the other side, Yuan Zhou's journey was also very smooth. Everything went smoothly after he checked his ticket, boarded the plane, and got on the plane.
At 8 o 'clock sharp, the plane drew a shallow arc in the sky above Jingdezhen and began to fly steadily in the direction of Chengdu.
