Although Yuan Zhou had been busy with matters such as the wedding and the honeymoon, he hadn't neglected any other matters.
Before the wedding, the minority cuisines had just been introduced, and he had already considered the matter of nominal disciples. He planned to have one nominal disciple for each ethnic group. In the past, when the cuisines accepted nominal disciples, some chefs who specialized in ethnic cuisines were selected.
Now, one for each ethnic group, no more and no less, just right. This was just his preliminary idea. As for the specifics, he still wanted to ask Zhou Shijie and several other respected masters for their opinions.
Yuan Zhou had always respected these cooking seniors very much. As long as it was within his ability and he could meet the requirements, he would not refuse.
Although Tan Mingxin's words were vague, after all, it was someone else's business. If it was him who said it, it would not be good. However, he had pointed out the basic meaning, and Yuan Zhou naturally understood it.
When Tan Mingxin heard Yuan Zhou's words, he did not say much, but the gratitude and respect in his eyes became deeper. Before, he had already felt that Yuan Zhou was broad-minded and did not care about trifles. Everything about cooking could be discussed. Even if he had such high cooking skills, he did not say anything about wanting to collect them. Not only did he teach his own apprentices, but he also let his apprentices teach their apprentices. He did not have any thoughts of hiding anything, which was really admirable and upright.
It was even more so now. Logically speaking, it was already acceptable for each cuisine to accept nominal disciples. At least, even Tan Mingxin himself couldn't guarantee that if he was as knowledgeable as Yuan Zhou, he wouldn't accept so many nominal disciples and even nurture each of them into talents.
Moreover, if he could accept these disciples, he would not consider other details. A person's energy was limited, and he was also selfish. What if others learned too much and surpassed him?
But now, after looking at Yuan Zhou and hearing his words, Tan Mingxin felt a little ashamed in his heart, in addition to awe. Some things were known to them, but they did not have the courage to improve. Yuan Zhou had it.
Not only that, but he also pressed forward with an indomitable spirit and wanted to do his best. This was what Tan Mingxin admired most. He had always known that moral character was the most important thing for Yuan Zhou to choose his disciples. Even for those registered disciples, apart from the truly outstanding craftsmanship and extremely high talent, the first test was the screening of moral character. Otherwise, they would be rejected by Yuan Zhou.
Although no one had been beaten back yet, everyone would still choose carefully and try their best to maintain the record.
"Thank you."
Tan Mingxin stood up and bowed deeply towards Yuan Zhou to express his surging emotions. He felt that he could still work in the association for another 20 years and shine, contributing to the development of the Beijing Cuisine Association.
"Head Chef Tan, you're too polite."
Yuan Zhou quickly helped Tan Mingxin up. The old man was already very old. Because of his craftsmanship, he could communicate with these cooking seniors as the same generation or even stand at a higher position. However, respecting the old and loving the young was what he had always adhered to, so he had always been very respectful to them. Tan Mingxin's bow somewhat shocked Yuan Zhou.
Although he could vaguely understand why Tan Mingxin was so solemn, he really did not think it was a big deal. He still felt that it was not appropriate for the old man to bow to him.
With Tan Mingxin's advance and Yuan Zhou's original plan to discuss the ethnic cuisine, things went very smoothly when Qiu Minglu visited in the afternoon. Almost as soon as he said his request, he was shocked by Yuan Zhou's plan.
Originally, Qiu Minglu thought that it would be very good if he could get a total of two places. He did not expect that a huge pie would suddenly fall on his head. It was one for each ethnic group, which made him almost lose his bearings.
Qiu Minglu's gratitude towards Yuan Zhou almost made Yuan Zhou worship him directly. He would not have the opportunity to be apprenticed to Yuan Zhou. He was old and should give opportunities to the younger generation, but his disciples and grand-disciples had the opportunity.
There were quite a lot of disciples from the eight ethnic cuisines, and there were still some with outstanding talent. He should be able to pick out some people from them.
After sending off the satisfied Qiu Minglu, Zhou Shijie, and several masters, Yuan Zhou suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"The bigger the head, the bigger the hat. The stronger the ability, the greater the responsibility. As the God of Cooking, I can't only look at the small area in front of me. I should look at the bigger picture and see more people and things."
By chance, Yuan Zhou felt that many grandmasters came to discuss their culinary skills with him. Regardless of whether they were at home or abroad, they were all well-known in the culinary circle. However, they still came to Master Chef Restaurant to discuss their culinary skills with him. There was no other reason than that his culinary skills were the best.
Since his cooking skills were the best, he should take the initiative to do something instead of passively waiting for people to exchange. He could not only look at Huaxia. Of course, as Yuan Zhou's home country, Huaxia still had a lot of preferential treatment.
"After these things are implemented, I can start to do other things. But should I hand this matter to Xu Ban or Cheng Zhao Mei?"
Yuan Zhou frowned and thought for a while. In the end, he decided to hand this matter to Cheng Zhao Mei. After all, he was his official disciple. It was best for Yuan Zhou to let his disciple do what he wanted to do next.
Although thinking so, in the end, Yuan Zhou still took out his mobile phone and called Xu Ban, asking him to come with him. He planned to let Xu Ban help Cheng Zhao Mei. Cheng Zhao Mei was usually busy enough, and he wanted to help him. Although Cheng Zhao Mei was very willing, as a master, he still didn't want his disciple to be tired and get sick. Naturally, it was necessary to find someone to help him.
After dealing with the matter, Yuan Zhou looked at the time and found it was time to prepare the ingredients for dinner. So he directly washed up and went to the kitchen.
Speaking of which, Tan Mingxin was quite dutiful. Because Qiu Minglv arrived at noon, he had to inform Qiu Minglv about Qiu Minglv's attitude in advance in order to welcome him. Qiu Minglv didn't even go to Master Chef Restaurant for lunch.
Due to selective amnesia, he ordered some snacks and Kung Fu dishes from Yuan Zhou in the morning, the kind that could be eaten at night. It was definitely too late at noon, so he could only wait for the truth in the evening.
As for Qiu Minglv, once the matter was solved, he directly had nothing to do. He also had the leisure mood and planned to rub a meal at The Kitchen God in the evening to reward himself.
Then the two of them got together. In fact, Tan Mingxin was not very willing to eat with Qiu Minglv. He had ordered delicious food.
But unfortunately, when he came to line up, he happened to meet Qiu Minglv who happened to come out of the shop. This was really a coincidence.
Since everyone knew each other and happened to meet each other, what else could they do? Naturally, they should eat together. No matter what Tan Mingxin thought in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a matter of whether he was stingy or not.
So when dinner time began, Tan Mingxin and Qiu Minglv came in together when the first echelon entered the shop. They came early, so they were in the first echelon.
Yuan Zhou looked up and saw the two old men. Although he was surprised why the two of them came together, he just nodded to greet them. After that, he waited quietly for the menu.
