Wu Zhou took Martin to the western restaurant next door for a meal, which Martin was quite satisfied with. After all, Li Li's culinary skills were also very good.
"I can surprisingly eat such an authentic steak here. It's very delicious. Thank you, Zhou." Martin said contentedly.
"Thank you for your affirmation." Before Wu Zhou said anything, the waiter beside him said smilingly.
"Actually, the Swedish Meatball or the White Wine Mussels in that restaurant are all the best delicacies. Of course, there's also the Roast Pork, which are all foreign dishes." Wu Zhou said inconspicuously.
"But I don't believe it." Martin shrugged.
"Ok. It's time to go back. Have you finished your meal?" Wu Zhou didn't ask further, but turned to ask.
"Ok. Let's go." Martin nodded the head.
"Di Da Da, Di Da Da"
The sound of trumpets and drums passed to them.
"It's so boisterous today. Zhou, is there any festival today?" Martin pointed at the team outside the door and said.
"I don't think so." Even Wu Zhou was a little hesitant.
The team in front of them was surprisingly a dragon and lion dance team, which looked mighty and domineering.
"Let's have a look. It looks very interesting." Martin looked excited and even took out his phone, preparing to take photos.
"Ok." Seeing the team stop at the door of the Yuanzhou shop, Wu Zhou was quite interested in it and thus stayed to watch conveniently.
"Boss Yuan, Master Yuan and Master Yuan, please come out." Standing in front of the team was surprisingly Engineer Cheng who had been rejected again half a month ago.
Engineer Cheng paid a special visit at that time, but was refused flatly by Yuan Zhou. When he wanted to eat, he was told he had to line up. After he helplessly lined up and finished his meal, he made up his mind to have another try.
What a joke! The dishes in Yuan Zhou's restaurant were even more delicious than those at the exchange meeting that day. The craftsmanship and ingredients were simply what every chef dreamed of. If he succeeded in being apprenticed, he could practice with such ingredients.
"My bad. I'd better use something else for practice and Boss Yuan's dishes in actual combat. It's so wonderful." Engineer Cheng muttered inwardly.
If he didn't prepare himself mentally and find a good person to write an apprenticeship application, Engineer Cheng would come again.
"Our shop will be open in five minutes. Can I trouble you to move your seats?" Yuan Zhou didn't plan to come out to have a look when he heard the noise. When he heard Engineer Cheng's shout, he couldn't sit still and walked out of the door with a straight face.
"Listen to Master Yuan. All the masters move to the side and make room for Boss Yuan." Engineer Cheng immediately turned his head and said.
"If you're here for a meal, our restaurant welcomes you warmly. There's no need to talk about anything else," Yuan Zhou said immediately when he saw the person move away.
"Master Yuan, please have a look at this." Engineer Cheng handed the apprenticeship card to Yuan Zhou neatly.
Engineer Cheng looked much older than Yuan Zhou. He was in his thirties, but he was very respectful in front of Yuan Zhou.
"Thank you, but what I said last time is what I want to say this time, and I don't want to say it again." Yuan Zhou's tone was indifferent, without any other emotions.
Of course, he was still quite happy in the heart. Being apprenticed to like this was not only a great honor, but also an affirmation of his culinary skills.
However, Yuan Zhou didn't really think he had reached the level where he could accept a disciple.
Besides, it would be better to accept a girl. As the old saying goes, when a man and a woman are together, the work won't be tiring.
"Can I ask Boss Yuan to have a look at it?" Engineer Cheng made up his mind this time. He held up the apprenticeship card persistently.
"It won't change the result even if you read it. Besides, we are all chefs." Yuan Zhou took over the card.
"There's an order of seniority in learning. The more accomplished one is the teacher." Engineer Cheng said cleanly.
Yuan Zhou didn't answer him. He just opened the card under the gaze of the others.
"Head chef, do you think the little boss will agree?" The chubby face of the head chef was filled with gossip.
"No, he won't. That brat is too proud." Li Li said affirmatively.
"He is indeed too proud. He surprisingly doesn't take us seriously." The head chef humphed and agreed with the evaluation given by Li Li.
However, the meaning of Li Li and the pride of the head chef were poles apart.
"Boss Yuan is so awesome. Even someone admires him and wants to be his apprentice." Looking at the boisterous scene, a customer said with pride.
"Of course. Boss Yuan's culinary skills are really superb." Another customer echoed and praised.
"This person came last time, but was refused by Boss Yuan." A customer said mysteriously.
"Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know about it?" Other customers surrounded another customer who seemed to know more and asked curiously.
"It was more than 10 days ago. It's said that this person is a certified master and a very awesome chef." A customer pointed at Engineer Cheng and said.
"But he's still not as awesome as Boss Yuan." The customers said so one after another.
"Of course I know he's not as awesome as Boss Yuan. Otherwise, why would this person come to be his apprentice?" It was another customer who had just said that.
"Let me tell you …" This customer began to tell them in detail about the apprenticeship last time.
Martin and Wu Zhou, who were watching happily, were also discussing about it.
"What does that person mean?" Martin pointed at the post in Engineer Cheng's hand and asked.
"That person wanted to be Boss Yuan's apprentice, but was refused." While saying that, Wu Zhou's tone naturally contained a sense of pride.
Just like those customers, it was a kind of feeling that the things they liked were recognized by others.
"Why did he refuse?" Martin asked with puzzlement.
"Because Boss Yuan is a low-key and modest person." Wu Zhou said earnestly.
"Maybe." Martin shrugged. He didn't have a good impression of Yuan Zhou.
However, he liked to watch the boisterous scene.
The post was written with a brush. The content was naturally about the apprenticeship. However, the signature of the post was Zhou Shijie, the chairman of China Chefs' Alliance.
"I really have nothing to teach." Yuan Zhou received the post and said earnestly while looking at Engineer Cheng.
Engineer Cheng didn't give up. After thinking for a while, he said straightforwardly, "I can follow Master Yuan and do some chores."
"You can follow him, but you can't enter the kitchen." Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.
"Although I can't achieve the same craftsmanship as Boss Yuan, the early stage is … no problem." Engineer Cheng had originally intended to say that he could handle the early stage, but when he thought of the painful experience of being slapped in the face, he kept his mouth shut and agreed.
"In this way, I'm not your master and you don't need to call me master. You still need to line up to eat." Yuan Zhou pointed at the line over there and said.
"Ok. Don't worry, Master Yuan." Engineer Cheng was quite satisfied that he could follow Yuan Zhou at any time.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be justifiable for him to come here to observe Yuan Zhou every day, as if it was the most taboo to steal someone's skills. Engineer Cheng indicated that he was also a proud master.
Sometimes, Yuan Zhou suspected that the system had a telepathic connection with him. For example, now.
Yuan Zhou wasn't satisfied with his current culinary skills. Starting from the Vegetable Mushroom, the system gave him a new and interesting mission just now.
