"Since we've eaten and drank to our heart's content, we're leaving now." Following Zhou Shijie's words, Yuan Zhou also stood up.
"See you later." Looking at Chu Xiao, Yuan Zhou nodded his head slightly and said that.
"See you next time." Chu Xiao nodded his head calmly as well.
Then, there came the sound of "Dadada Ta". Yuan Zhou walked out of the door with Zhou Shijie.
"Hu." Only then did Andre let out a sigh of relief.
"Clean it up." Chu Xiao signaled the waiter who was waiting for his order at the side.
"Head chef, can you take me with you when you go to China?" Andre followed Chu Xiao step by step and said only after quite a while.
"Give me a reason." Chu Xiao asked directly without even turning his head.
"I want to see if the culinary skills of a person with a taste as elegant as yours can match up to such a taste." Andre spoke in elegant French.
His tone sounded sincere and natural, without any intention of flattering Yuan Zhou.
"Sure." Chu Xiao nodded his head and agreed.
"Thank you, head chef." Andre made a gesture of victory without a trace.
On the other side, Yuan Zhou and Zhou Shijie had left after attending the new dish release conference in an orderly manner.
"Yuan, do you have any thoughts about it?" Zhou Shijie asked excitedly.
"Yes. A chef called Felix took us to his private vegetable garden. It's really nice." Once Zhou Shijie asked about the harvest, Yuan Zhou naturally thought of this person.
It was the second day of the exchange of pointers meeting. Felix happened to be a friend of Zhou Shijie's apprentice. After he took them to taste the new dish, he warmly invited them to visit his vegetable garden.
It was also the source of these ingredients.
Felix's vegetable garden was about an hour's drive from his restaurant. It covered about 2 acres of land and was well taken care of.
"Did he grow all these by himself?" Yuan Zhou asked curiously.
His disciple took on the role of a translator.
"Oh, not really. I hired someone to take care of them, and sometimes I come to look after them myself," Felix answered enthusiastically.
"Then do you need to come and pick them one day in advance?" Yuan Zhou continued to ask.
"Of course. It will be more refreshing this way." Felix nodded as if it was obvious.
Then, Yuan Zhou followed them around. There were also some small animals in the manor for food.
"Why this?" Zhou Shijie asked curiously.
"I can see the quality of the vegetables and ingredients with my own eyes," Yuan Zhou said seriously.
"That's true. It feels more personal." Zhou Shijie nodded.
"But we also have such plants here. You can even go and pick them yourself." Zhou Shijie continued.
Then, the two of them chatted about this topic.
Transfer, waiting, take-off, time flew by. Once they arrived at the Capital International Airport, Yuan Zhou couldn't help but take a deep breath.
"Um, it's still the same smell. It's full of exhaust and smog. It's so familiar." Yuan Zhou recalled expressionlessly.
"Haw-haw. Indeed." Zhou Shijie also nodded his head smilingly.
"Let's go. We still have to go back to Chengdu." Zhou Shijie pointed at the prepared car in front and said.
The plane took off again. It was already 11: 00 p.m. when they arrived at Chengdu.
When Yuan Zhou stood at the intersection of the side street, the midnight bell just rang.
"Hua La Hua La."
Only the sound of Yuan Zhou pulling his suitcase could be heard in the quiet street. Suddenly, a mass of black shadow appeared in the distance.
"What's that?" Yuan Zhou was startled. He stopped for a while and then walked forward again.
"Woof Woof", a dog barked.
When he got closer, Yuan Zhou was relieved. "It's you. Why didn't you go to guard the restaurant at such a late hour?"
Surprisingly, it was Broth in front of him. It barked a few times at Yuan Zhou in a low voice.
Its voice was full of cheerfulness, but its body didn't move at all. It just squatted on the spot and looked at Yuan Zhou quietly with its black eyes. Even its tail didn't wag.
"You are surprisingly still so arrogant. You are a dog. Is it so difficult to wag your tail to show your welcome?" Having relaxed, Yuan Zhou suddenly became talkative again. He pointed at Broth's motionless tail and started to ridicule.
However, what answered Yuan Zhou was that Broth stood up, turned around and walked away immediately. It showed a manner of leading the way and completely ignored Yuan Zhou's request.
"Alright. A fake dog that doesn't know how to wag its tail!" Looking at the manner of Broth holding its head high, Yuan Zhou couldn't help ridiculing.
Naturally, Broth led the way to the back door of Yuanzhou Shop. Only when they reached the door of the pub did Broth stop.
It squatted beside its empty bowl and didn't walk anymore.
"Holy sh * t. I thought you were here to welcome me. But are you here to tell me that you want to eat?" Yuan Zhou couldn't help supporting his forehead and said helplessly.
Then, Broth sat beside the bowl and looked at Yuan Zhou without barking. Its black eyes and the curly hair on its face made it look quite lovable.
"Got it. I'll carry it out for you in a while. You are so smart." Although Yuan Zhou was ridiculing, he revealed a happy expression on his face.
It was also a kind of warmth to have Broth waiting for him in the middle of the night. The warmth of the furry Broth, even if it was for the sake of Broth.
With a sound of "Ka La", the door lock was opened by Yuan Zhou.
"Pa"
He turned on the light. The kitchen was still the same as when he left. Nothing had changed.
As for the dust, Yuan Zhou didn't really worry about that with the help of the system.
"It seems to be the same as before." Yuan Zhou smiled more than usual tonight.
Looking at the familiar kitchenware, Yuan Zhou had an impulse to cook dishes, but he still restrained himself from murmuring to himself. "I'm covered with dust."
"Dong Dong Dong". Yuan Zhou picked up the suitcase and quickly went upstairs to wash off the dust. Then, he changed his clothes and went downstairs to cook.
"Clear Broth Noodle Soup and fried egg." Yuan Zhou opened the cupboard and immediately decided what to eat for supper.
When the broth was boiling, Yuan Zhou kneaded the noodles and put them into the broth. Then, he started to fry the egg without stopping.
After shaking the egg slightly, Yuan Zhou knocked the egg into the pot with one hand. Instantly, the oil inside emitted a sound of "Zi Zi".
The burnt fragrance of the egg also diffused out.
"It smells so good." This time, Yuan Zhou didn't wear the face mask. Instead, he cooked his supper casually and naturally.
A bowl of Clear Broth Noodle Soup naturally didn't need much time. Therefore, Yuan Zhou finished it very soon and carried it to the table to eat.
The system suddenly came to join in the fun.
The system displayed, "The standard of the random test has been reached. The second test is initiated."
[Random Test 2] Make five dishes whose names don't match the dishes themselves.
[Test Reward] For each dish you finish, you can get all the ingredients of the dish.
"Gee? The names don't match the dishes? "Yuan Zhou repeated it curiously.
The system displayed, "Yes."
"Then does the Frog Cake count?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of this food.
The system displayed, "This kind of food can be counted."
