"Xia Ma, why are you here?" Persson waved his hand.
Despite his age, he was still quite enthusiastic to meet a good brother. Hans also greeted Xia Ma politely.
If Purson and Dürr were good friends, then he and Summer were hardcore brothers like Hans and Allen. Their paths were different, but it did not hinder their friendship.
Even if one of them was a British Indian and the other was a native Indian, they were still bosom friends.
Xia Ma was originally savoring the delicious breakfast he had just eaten when he suddenly heard Persson's familiar voice. He raised his head in disbelief and saw the familiar solemn face. Instantly, he revealed a happy smile.
He went up and gave Persson a kiss to express the surprise of not seeing a good friend for a long time. To be honest, Xia Ma had never greeted others like this before he met Persson. However, Persson was used to this way of greeting. Therefore, after a few times, Xia Ma got used to it.
Of course, this was also a display of respect. Although it was a bit embarrassing for two old men to do this, it didn't hinder the happy atmosphere between them.
"How did you decide to come to China? Didn't you say you had something to do when I asked you to come?" Xia Ma asked.
Previously, when Yuan Zhou went to Singapore to give a lecture, Xia Ma didn't get a place. That was because his status was lower than Opello's and he couldn't insist. At that time, Dewell happened to be in seclusion, so he had no choice but to stay depressed.
In the end, Xia Ma figured it out. Although he couldn't listen to Yuan Zhou's lecture, he could come and eat the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he came to Chengdu leisurely. Of course, this was something he had wanted to do for a long time. He moved quickly. From the time he made up his mind, packed his luggage and set off, it only took him one day.
When he met Persson today, it was already his tenth day in Huaxia. During this period of time, he was like a fish in water. If he didn't see Persson, he wouldn't have remembered that he wasn't from Huaxia.
"For this year's Vegetarian Festival, I heard that Head Chef Yuan's vegetarian banquet is quite good. I want to ask him for help," Persson didn't hide anything from his old friend.
"Head Chef Yuan's vegetarian banquet … That's not a problem. Even Head Chef Dewell can't compare. But you want to ask him to go to India to cook?"
Xia Ma's expression was as if he was dreaming. Person almost thought that he had done something infuriating for Xia Ma to look at him with such an expression.
"Is there a problem?" Persson asked straightforwardly.
"It's not that there's a problem. There are all kinds of problems. What price do you think you can pay to invite Head Chef Yuan to cook for you? Moreover, you are going to India. Looks like you have really changed after not seeing each other for a long time," Xia Ma said.
Persson was a smart person. When he heard that, he knew that Yuan Zhou would be very difficult to invite. But in order to make his first Vegetarian Festival dazzling enough, he still wanted to give it a try. If he was lucky enough to succeed, wouldn't he be twice as happy?
"What if Head Chef Yuan admires the vegetarianism of our association and wants to go there to have a look? Or maybe he is curious about India and wants to go there. That's not a bad thing. India also has many delicious specialties," Persson tried hard to find an excuse.
Xia Ma thought of inviting Yuan Zhou to India. At that time, even if he didn't give a lecture, he would still be able to piss off Opello. Just thinking of that scene made him excited.
This kid had probably been provoked by Opello. Now, he wanted to find an opportunity to swindle Opello.
Even if he knew the chances were slim, Xia Ma felt that there was no harm in giving it a try. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let me see if Head Chef Yuan is free now. If he is, we can ask him."
Hans, who had been standing in the background, finally got a chance to show off. He immediately said, "Uncle Xia Ma, didn't you say that we can't disturb Head Chef Yuan outside of business hours?"
When asking about the news on Taoxi Road, eleven out of ten people would say that. Most of them were just onlookers. With so many people saying that, Hans believed it without a doubt. Therefore, in order to maintain the slim hope that Yuan Zhou would agree, he felt it was better to be cautious.
"Hahaha, that's right. But if Head Chef Yuan is free, he can still chat with him. Head Chef Yuan has a good temper. Of course, if he is busy, we can't disturb him," Xia Ma was quite fond of this junior of his.
"Oh." When Hans saw that Xia Ma had come out from the restaurant and was full of confidence, he nodded, indicating that he understood.
No matter how much he knew, it was only hearsay. With Xia Ma's experience, it should be more reliable.
Therefore, when Yuan Zhou was about to go out with his sculpting tools, he saw three heads peeking into the restaurant. They were so cautious that if he didn't know better, he might even think that they were thieves.
Moreover, one of them looked very familiar. As one of the people who had helped Yuan Zhou complete the Master Series Mission, Yuan Zhou had a good impression of Xia Ma. Moreover, he was a chef from India and had less contact with Xia Ma. Therefore, he had a deeper impression of Xia Ma.
Moreover, Xia Ma seemed to have grown up in the restaurant. Yuan Zhou was naturally attentive to his customers. It was hard for him not to remember him.
"Head Chef Xia Ma, what's the matter?" asked Yuan Zhou.
"Head Chef Yuan, I hope I didn't disturb you. I'm really sorry. My good friend has something to tell you. Do you have time?" Xia Ma instantly stood up and said.
The other two were in sync with Xia Ma. He was in charge of speaking and they were in charge of nodding. They appeared very obedient.
"Is ten minutes enough?" Yuan Zhou could tell that Persson and the other two were not chefs. They were definitely not here to exchange culinary skills. Therefore, it shouldn't take too much time.
"Yes, it's enough. Thank you, Head Chef Yuan," Persson quickly said.
He didn't expect Yuan Zhou to have such a strong aura. Even though he often met with Dewell, he still wasn't used to this aura that was emitted subconsciously.
It wasn't the aura of a bastard, nor was it an overbearing CEO. Yuan Zhou didn't have such an aura. There was an ancient saying that went, "Those who have knowledge will naturally have an aura." As Yuan Zhou's culinary skills improved, his aura had also changed. Even if Yuan Zhou was intentionally restraining himself, it would still make people feel something. Perhaps, when Yuan Zhou became a Master Chef, he would return to his original state?
The usually eloquent Hans could only nod his head. After all, he didn't need to say anything. It was already good enough for him to be a backdrop.
"Let's talk inside." Yuan Zhou turned around and placed the things in his hands on the nearest table. Then, he went to pour a few glasses of water.
He asked the three to sit down before talking. When he saw that they were a little reserved, especially Persson and the other two, he sat down first.
