The business in the evening was the same as usual. Of course, the BBQ was especially good, because Yuan Zhou's notice in advance let more people know about it.
Early in the next morning, Yuan Zhou dressed himself neatly and took the A4 paper. He went to the front door silently and pasted it on his own initiative. Then, he got on the taxi and went to the restaurant in a relaxed manner.
"Hoo. My reason is absolutely legitimate and sincere." Yuan Zhou looked back at the A4 paper on the door from afar and said complacently.
Today, Yuan Zhou was wearing the clothes he bought yesterday. It was a gray casual suit with a flower collar, a black patterned shirt, a pair of black casual pants and a pair of pure white casual shoes.
He looked tall, slender, and gentle. Plus the top button on his shirt and his solemn manner, he gave off a mature temperament of confidence and introverted temperament.
Patting the hem of the suit, Yuan Zhou said unreservedly, "Although clothes make the man, clothes also make the man. Only a prince charming like me can wear it so well and look so handsome."
Yuan Zhou stood at the intersection happily to take a taxi. It was still early and it was easy to take a taxi. Just in a little while, Yuan Zhou got a taxi and directly left after reporting the address.
That's right. Today was the required time for the competition. Yuan Zhou's requirement was not to stay overnight, so he needed to go there by himself. Of course, the chef participating in the competition could ask for a car to pick him up, but the time was 8: 00 in the morning.
If Yuan Zhou swaggered out of the restaurant at this time, he would probably be beaten to death. Yuan Zhou knew himself well enough.
"It's not good to be too popular." Yuan Zhou suddenly uttered.
Hearing that, the driver turned his head and took a look at Yuan Zhou and said smilingly, "Young man, you look so spirited. What kind of activity are you going to the venue over there?"
The place Yuan Zhou told him was a five-star hotel. The most famous feature of the hotel was the super large banquet hall, which was not only luxurious but also fully functional. Of course, that was what the driver heard.
"Let's eat." Yuan Zhou tilted his head and thought for a moment.
In his opinion, the only way to distinguish food ingredients was to eat or smell it. However, the word "smell" was a little strange, so Yuan Zhou deliberately chose the best adjective.
"The breakfast there … is indeed not bad." The driver was caught off guard by this pretentious act. After a while, he said that.
At the same time, the driver couldn't help but curse in his heart. It's not even 7 o 'clock in the morning, and you're taking a taxi to a five-star hotel for dinner? He gave zero points for this act of forcing because it hurt the soul of a person who hadn't eaten breakfast.
"What the f * ck? Taking a pretentious criminal to a five-star hotel for breakfast so early in the morning? What a retard," the driver thought to himself as he looked at Yuan Zhou.
"Um, we can eat alone, right?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of this important question.
After all, there were no other restaurants there.
"Sure." The driver looked at Yuan Zhou strangely and nodded.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou thanked him.
Just in a little while, the car stopped under a porch with a sound of "Zi". The glass door was wide open outside. Four doormen dressed in red uniforms were standing there straightly. Seeing the car stop, they went up and bent over to open the door.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou paid the money and got off the car to express his gratitude with a nod.
"You are welcome. This is the license plate number of the taxi you took. If you miss anything, we can help you find it." The doorman said carefully and courteously.
"Um, ok." Yuan Zhou took the card from the doorman.
"Which floor is the restaurant for breakfast on?" Yuan Zhou asked conveniently.
"It's on the second floor of the lobby. I'll ask someone to take you there right away." The doorman said with a smile.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head. Then, he saw a sign with the words "Welcome to the participating chefs". After he slightly stepped back, he saw the conspicuous banner outside.
"Um. It seems to be a big event." Yuan Zhou muttered inwardly.
Just in a little while, the hotel waiter called by the doorman came and led Yuan Zhou to the restaurant on the second floor.
As soon as he walked into the main door, the four doormen at the side instantly greeted him in a quartet, "Welcome."
The voices were loud and tidy. Luckily, it wasn't scary. Therefore, Yuan Zhou walked into the restaurant calmly, even if it was his first time to enter a five-star hotel.
All the hotel staff he met along the way, no matter who they were, as long as they were in uniform, they would smile and say hello to Yuan Zhou when they saw him.
Along the way, he only heard "Hello, sir." Then, Yuan Zhou nodded his head ceaselessly and replied with a smile.
The competition officially started at 9: 00 in the morning. Yuan Zhou had already received the procedure. First, there would be a small examination at the entrance. After that, they could enter the restaurant to compete.
There were a total of 12 people participating in the competition. Although the examination at the entrance was called an examination, it was actually just a warm-up.
Of course, it was Yan Jia who told Yuan Zhou that.
Time: 8: 57. Location: at the entrance of the luxurious banquet hall on the fourth floor of the hotel.
When Yuan Zhou got out of the elevator, there happened to be someone walking ahead of him. That person walked straight to the entrance and started to answer the questions. However, when Yuan Zhou saw him from a distance, he only saw four pieces of radishes placed on four clean white plates.
"Master Chu, please tell us which season these radishes are produced." The little girl who was doing the examination at the entrance said with a clear and melodious voice.
"Winter, summer, autumn and the four seasons are when winter and spring meet." Chu Xiao didn't write anything, but just pointed at the four seasons while speaking.
After that, he didn't wait for the little girl to announce the answer and straightforwardly strode into the banquet hall with his long legs.
"He's really fast." Yuan Zhou stood still and watched Chu Xiao enter the door and said slowly.
"This person is called Chu Xiao, the youngest Michelin-starred chef in the history." Suddenly, someone answered from behind.
"Hello." Yuan Zhou turned his head and found it was Yan Jia who was talking.
"Hello, Boss Yuan. According to the teacher, only you two have some abilities in this competition." Yan Jia said with a kind expression. However, his words were not kind at all.
It was easy to offend others.
"Humm. Thank you for your compliment." Yuan Zhou nodded the head and answered the compliment.
After all, his taste and knowledge of the food ingredients came from the system and his own efforts. Therefore, Yuan Zhou accepted such compliments with a clear conscience.
"You are welcome. Although I haven't tasted Boss Yuan's craftsmanship, it's quite rare that the teacher likes it so much." Yan Jia said earnestly.
"Many people like it very much." Yuan Zhou said modestly.
Although Yan Jia didn't see where was the modesty, he still followed along with Yuan Zhou and said, "Of course. Boss Yuan's craftsmanship is definitely not a problem."
Changing the topic, Yan Jia continued saying, "However, that Master Chu also can't be underestimated."
"It's said that he has an extremely sensitive sense of smell. Only by the smell, he can find the difference of the food maturing within three days."
"Okay. Thank you for telling me." Yuan Zhou turned his head and looked at the place where Chu Xiao had entered just now and a kind of joy arose in his heart.
The purpose that he came to participate in the competition this time was to verify his culinary skills. After all, the system didn't allow him to take the exam for the chef certificate, although the key was that he couldn't provide the work certificate.
"Boss Yuan, it's time for us to go inside." Seeing Yuan Zhou listen carefully, Yan Jia was also very satisfied in the heart. Therefore, he reminded Yuan Zhou.
The reason why Yan Jia was satisfied was naturally that he knew that his teacher's old rival released the news that Yuan Zhou would definitely be defeated. However, judging from Yuan Zhou's calm, earnest and modest manner and the fact that his teacher liked Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship so much, he shouldn't lose too much in any case. Even a draw was possible.
Naturally, Yuan Zhou didn't know what Yan Jia was thinking about. He naturally walked to the door and waited for the entrance test.
However, the test this time was a little special.
