"Brat, what do you mean? Isn't this old man your teacher?" Xing Min reacted first.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded the head.
"Even if I'm not the teacher, it's not your turn." Lee Yanyi went up and interrupted Xing Min's unspoken words.
"How do you know? What if this young man feels that I look familiar? What do you know?" Xing Min retorted, unwilling to be outdone.
"This brat is very arrogant. Do you think I know?" Lee Yanyi revealed a manner of knowing him very well.
"Is what you said true? I think he's very modest. "Xing Min would be a fool if he was reasonable when he met Lee Yanyi.
"This old man is getting more and more muddle-headed." Lee Yanyi humphed.
Yuan Zhou watched them silently for a while at the side and then said to the two helpless assistants in a low voice, "I'm leaving now. Goodbye."
"Take care, Boss Yuan." Yan Jia was more familiar with him and thus nodded the head straightforwardly.
Xing Min's assistant nevertheless nodded the head and went back to watch his teacher.
What a joke! Without these assistants, there would be bloodshed at any minute.
Yuan Zhou greeted the customers and then went back to his own room to rest.
Apart from Manman, Tang Xi, Wu Hai, Ling Hong and Gao Shuai, only one person went back, namely Chen Wei.
Chen Wei said that he had something to do in the evening, so he went back and prepared to come back tomorrow morning.
"It's very interesting. I wonder if there are any ingredients that I haven't seen in the preparation tomorrow." Yuan Zhou said expectantly before going to bed.
When the weather was cold in the morning in Chengdu, there would be a layer of mist. It wasn't actually haze, but a light mist, which shrouded the whole city like the veil of a young girl.
"I forgot to set the alarm clock." Yuan Zhou muttered in a daze while sitting on the bed.
After a short pause, Yuan Zhou picked up his phone and found it was still early. It was time for him to go jogging.
"Smart as I am." While putting on the sportswear, Yuan Zhou felt lucky that he had bought the sportswear before going to bed last night.
"Hu La", the cold water was poured on his face and Yuan Zhou became more sober.
Touching his face, he muttered, "I heard that you'll look more handsome if you use cold water."
After showing off, Yuan Zhou went downstairs for a jog. He didn't like to go to the hotel's attached gym, so he went to the hotel's garden to jog.
One lap, two laps. Not long after, Yuan Zhou met a person, Chu Xiao.
Chu Xiao, who was also wearing gray sportswear, also appeared in the garden.
"It's not scary to wear the same clothes. Whoever is ugly will be embarrassed." Yuan Zhou took a deep breath and thought to himself.
Although Chu Xiao looked like a playboy, his looks were not bad. However, Yuan Zhou was a man with a six-pack. He had a serious temperament and the look of a mature uncle. The two of them were almost equal.
"Yo, you're also jogging?" Chu Xiao unexpectedly took the initiative to greet him.
"Mm." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"You can broaden your knowledge with the rare ingredients today." Chu Xiao always spoke straightforwardly.
He had already known that Yuan Zhou was merely the boss of a tiny restaurant. Although Yuan Zhou's performance yesterday was amazing, those were all ordinary ingredients, which were rarely seen. Therefore, Chu Xiao really didn't mean anything else.
He just thought he could help Yuan Zhou broaden his knowledge today.
"Um. If you need to broaden your knowledge, you can come to my restaurant." Yuan Zhou nodded and then said earnestly.
"Do you know how to cook strange dishes with strange ingredients?" Chu Xiao asked curiously.
"No. It's just the ingredients and craftsmanship that you rarely see." Yuan Zhou said modestly.
"Hahaha. Are there any that I rarely see?" Chu Xiao shook his head and burst into laughter.
"Yeah. There are many that I haven't seen before." Yuan Zhou's expression had always been so earnest.
"That's normal." Chu Xiao felt it was quite normal that Yuan Zhou hadn't seen them before. But it would be a joke if he said he hadn't.
Chu Xiao had stayed in the kitchen of many top-notch restaurants since he was 11 years old and had seen too many rare ingredients.
However, he didn't know that Yuan Zhou had such a thing as a cheat.
"Um. See you in the competition." Yuan Zhou nodded his head noncommittally. He looked at the time and found his exercise had ended. Then, he directly said goodbye.
"Study hard." Chu Xiao still spoke like a senior.
Yuan Zhou sneered at his back and didn't correct Chu Xiao again. He straightforwardly went back to the hotel to change his clothes and prepared to go to the restaurant for breakfast.
…
"The breakfast is nice." When he arrived at the restaurant, Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion while looking at the green and rich breakfast.
The breakfast was made up of the ingredients that they had guessed yesterday. Those that could be used to cook the breakfast were all cooked. Of course, the dinner yesterday was also cooked with the 500 kinds of ingredients.
The opening time was the same as yesterday at 9: 00 sharp.
This time, Wu Hai and the others arrived very early. They sat in the front row and just waited to see how awesome Yuan Zhou was.
There was no examination at the entrance today, so they arrived five minutes earlier than yesterday. As soon as Yuan Zhou entered the restaurant, his fan, Tang Xi, cheered him on.
"Come on, Boss Yuan!" Tang Xi didn't conceal anything and directly cheered him on.
"Go." Wu Hai and Ling Hong waved their hands and revealed an indifferent manner.
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Now, I announce that the exchange of pointers on rare ingredients begins." The chairman of China Chefs' Alliance changed into a navy blue suit today and looked much younger. He said straightforwardly.
"After the exchange of pointers, a small part of the ingredients won't be used for food. Everybody, please abide by the rules." The professor of rare ingredients stood up immediately and said.
"That's right. Now, please start directly if you draw No. 1." There was a smile on the face of the chairman as usual.
"One moment, please." It was Fang Tian who got the third place.
"What's the matter, Master Fang?" The chairman looked at Fang Tian amiably.
Fang Tian was a skinny young man, about 35 or 36 years old. He had a scholarly aura and spoke in a soft voice, which didn't seem like a chef at all.
"I want to watch the whole process closely but won't take part in the competition. I hope you can agree with me." Fang Tian said straightforwardly without any hesitation.
"Why?" The chairman looked at the two people at the side and then asked.
"These two are both young talents. I'm a middle-aged man and won't take part in it." Fang Tian shrugged and said in a free and easy manner.
"Let us discuss it for a while." The chairman didn't agree immediately.
"Okay. But you must agree with my request." Fang Tian slightly bent his waist.
"One moment, please." The chairman signaled him to turn off the microphone and then started to discuss.
The venue was silent for a while. Some chefs who failed yesterday didn't understand while others nodded their heads approvingly.
That's right. The chefs who failed yesterday could also come and watch. The reason why rare ingredients were rare was that sometimes, even chefs rarely saw them, let alone rare ingredients that covered a wide range.
However, they could only watch the competition from below the stage. The request of Fang Tian was quite good in terms of increasing their knowledge.
Five minutes later.
"Silence." The chairman of China Chefs' Alliance uttered.
"After the unanimous discussion of the three judges, we decided to agree with Fang Tian's request. Meanwhile, we allow him to watch the competition without touching it." The chairman of China Chefs' Alliance announced the result.
Then, only Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao were left. It became a showdown between the two of them. It was just that nobody knew who would gain knowledge from the other.
Yuan Zhou was quite expectant!
