Since Yuan Zhou's engagement was such a big event, several elders who were very kind to him had already been invited. The invitation cards were sent by Yuan Zhou himself, such as Mr. Ma, Master Lian, Zhou Shijie, Zhang Yan, and so on.
Of course, Boss Tong and Mr. Mo had also come back. After all, Yuan Zhou had promised to take care of Boss Tong in her old age. Correspondingly, at such an important moment, he would definitely appear as the groom's family.
Last night, Yuan Zhou went to the airport to pick them up. They also stayed in Wu Yungui's hotel, which was close and very convenient.
What's more, Boss Tong had already had a friendly meeting with Yin's parents when she arrived last night. As for what they talked about, Yuan Zhou didn't know. However, it should be a pleasant meeting. At least, Boss Tong's attitude was very good. Even Mr. Mo Yun showed a rare smile.
Although it was a very frightening thing to show a smile on his rigid face, it couldn't be denied that he was in a really good mood.
The sheep that Yuan Zhou was going to cook was provided by the system before Yuan Zhou arrived today. It was especially fresh and could be slaughtered immediately after starving.
Therefore, the first thing Yuan Zhou did after arranging the side dishes was to slaughter the sheep. Then, many apprentices witnessed Yuan Zhou's superb Knife Skill for the first time on the spot.
It was really just a few slashes, and the sheep that had been "bleating" just now changed into a completely different appearance.
Mi Hao was a boy with rich imagination. Without paying attention, he thought of the short man who served as the chef in the New Dragon Gate Inn in the movie and TV series. That short man could really make the well-proportioned legs of the enemy become clean bones with only a few slashes.
"Maybe my master can also do it?" Mi Hao swallowed his saliva silently, but he was quite sure in his heart.
The other registered disciples were also shocked by Yuan Zhou's knife skills. Since they could successfully become Yuan Zhou's registered disciples, their skills were naturally not weak. For example, Wang Mingjie, Zhang Longquan, Li Youwei, and several others were absolutely the best in the field of local cuisines in terms of knife skills. However, even with such a standard, they still couldn't figure out more than half of Yuan Zhou's knife skills. It was conceivable that they couldn't figure out how Yuan Zhou did it.
The most important thing was that they clearly knew that Yuan Zhou didn't use any difficult Knife Skill. Most of them used the straight knife, the oblique knife, the hob knife, and so on. However, it was one thing to know it in their mind, and another to see it with their eyes. At this time, the two didn't match.
Not knowing that the apprentices' thoughts were fluctuating, Yuan Zhou concentrated on cooking. As long as he picked up the kitchen knife, his mind would be focused on cooking, even if today was a special day. He didn't know that he had stimulated his apprentices again.
Time ticked by. The first to arrive were Zhou Shijie, Zhang Yan, Wang Huai, and Mr. Ma.
"Hahaha, today is such a good day. Little Yuan has finally taken the step to settle down and start a family. Congratulations!" Zhou Shijie said with a smile on his face. He seemed very happy.
For the older generation, an engagement meant that the wedding wasn't far away. In the future, Yuan Zhou would be a man with a family. Although Yuan Zhou had started his career first, it wasn't too late to start a family now. Therefore, everyone was very happy.
"I didn't expect Head Chef Yuan to reach this step so quickly. I hope Head Chef Yuan can still have such a pure heart for cooking in the future." Wang Huai was really happy, but he was also quite perturbed in his heart.
He had already imagined many scenes of "from now on, the emperor will not have morning court" and how he would act as a lobbyist for the cooking world.
Although Wang Huai was old, his mind was really active. He truly deserved to be called an old filthy turtle.
"Don't talk nonsense at your age. Yuan isn't such a person," Mr. Ma immediately rebuked Wang Huai.
"For a person like Yuan, it doesn't matter if he gets married or not. I'm just worried that if he continues to work like this after getting married, will his new wife have any objections?" Zhou Shijie also spoke for Yuan Zhou.
These were all people who knew Yuan Zhou very well. Naturally, they knew of Yuan Zhou's temperament. Despite his young age, Yuan Zhou was truly calm and reserved, not inferior to people of their age. It seemed that there was something wrong with this praise.
"I think you are right, Chairman Zhou. Head Chef Yuan's attitude toward cooking is truly pious," Zhang Yan echoed.
Zhang Yan, who had always been at odds with Zhou Shijie, also supported Zhou Shijie this time. On one hand, it was because his daughter and son had forced him to do so, which was quite different from before. On the other hand, he naturally knew of Yuan Zhou's character. What Wang Huai was worried about was not something Yuan Zhou would do.
"You guys are right. Head Chef Yuan doesn't seem like such a person," Wang Huai didn't get angry even though he was being besieged.
On the contrary, he felt that he had been worrying too much. The worry between his eyebrows had dissipated a lot.
After entering the venue, they didn't have time to talk. They were directly attracted by Yuan Zhou's dazzling movements. A total of five stoves were opened, and Yuan Zhou was looking after each of them with ease.
His movements were as smooth as floating clouds and flowing water, as if he was a martial arts grandmaster. Every move of his was filled with zen.
"I didn't expect Head Chef Yuan's culinary skills have already …" Wang Huai was speechless.
Not to mention Wang Huai, even Zhou Shijie and the others were somewhat dumbfounded. They hadn't eaten at The Kitchen God for about a month or two. They didn't expect that Yuan Zhou would change so much in such a short time. It was simply astonishing.
"Indeed. Yuan … no, Head Chef Yuan's speed of improvement is too exaggerated," Zhou Shijie said solemnly.
"There's hope for China's culinary world to prosper," Zhang Yan's eyes lit up as well. It was as if he could already see China's culinary world dominating the world.
Zhou Shijie and the others were the first batch to arrive. Following them were the core members of the Queuing Committee. Almost all of them were present. Even Chu Xiao, who loved to get lost, was present. The moment they arrived, they immediately organized the waiters to invite the guests to sit down and drink tea. Then, they served the melon seeds, peanuts, and candies prepared by Yuan Zhou for everyone to enjoy.
Not only that, Yuan Zhou had also prepared a fruit platter, one for every two people. This was also handed over to the Queuing Committee in advance. Wang Hong, Jiang Changxi, and the others took the lead and got busy.
In an instant, the originally quiet venue became noisy. Of course, everyone lowered their voices. Otherwise, with so many people gathered together, the noise might even be able to overturn the roof. Therefore, in order not to disturb Yuan Zhou and the others, they naturally lowered their voices.
Then, Master Lian and the others arrived. Mr. Yin, Mrs. Yin, Boss Tong, and Mo Yun were also here. However, they were sitting in a small resting room that was specially separated from the venue, drinking tea and chatting.
This was the rule. When it was time for them to appear, it was time for them to appear. Normally, the parents of the men would come out to greet them. However, Yuan Zhou didn't. Although Boss Tong and the others could be considered as elders, no one would want to take that position.
