Seeing Yuan Zhou sit down, Persson heaved a sigh of relief and sat down with Summer Ma. Moreover, he only sat half of his buttocks. He did it subconsciously.
Hans, on the other hand, took the initiative to stand behind Persson after he sat down. As a junior, he felt that this was more suitable for him.
After sitting down, Persson spoke first, "Hello, Head Chef Yuan. I'm Persson, the chairman of India's Al Vegetarian Association. I'm here to ask Head Chef Yuan if you can go to the association to cook a vegetarian banquet during the International Vegetarian Festival. This way, you can publicize the concept of vegetarian food and the spirit of vegetarianism in China. I want everyone to see the charm of Chinese vegetarian food."
As expected of the chairman, he was able to express himself very fluently. Besides, his meaning was very obvious. More importantly, he hoped to see the concept of Chinese vegetarian food, which was similar to Yuan Zhou's intention to promote Chinese dishes to the whole world.
Persson was a very quick-witted person.
This was new to Yuan Zhou. In the past, many people had come to invite him. Some invited him to be the head chef of a hotel. Of course, he was too embarrassed to do so if he wasn't a five-star restaurant. Some invited him to cook banquets for large-scale exchanges and private banquets. Most of the time, he was invited for exchanges. This was the first time someone had come to invite him to cook vegetarian food.
This was something that Yuan Zhou didn't know. Due to Yu Daoyi's vigorous publicity, many Taoists and Buddhists knew that Yuan Zhou's vegetarian banquets were very delicious. There were even many vegetarian chefs from Guanli Temple who wanted to come and exchange with him. Due to various reasons, they hadn't come to see Yuan Zhou, so he didn't know about it.
Although this was the first time he heard about it, Yuan Zhou thought for a while and said, "Thank you, Chairman Persson. But I really don't have much time to go out recently. I'm sorry."
Although his words were courteous, it was obvious that he was rejecting her.
Hearing that, Persson nodded his head and didn't say anything else. People like Yuan Zhou wouldn't change his mind easily once he made up his mind. He still had the ability to discern that. If he didn't do anything troublesome, Yuan Zhou's impression of him would become worse.
"That's really a pity. I'm sorry to bother you, Head Chef Yuan. I hope I can invite Head Chef Yuan to India in the future. At that time, I hope Head Chef Yuan will give us a chance to show our hospitality to you," said Persen.
"Thank you, President Purson." Yuan Zhou nodded.
After saying what he wanted to say, Purson tactfully bid farewell to Hans. As for Summer, he naturally left with them. He wanted to discuss the dishes with Yuan Zhou, but Yuan Zhou said that he only had ten minutes of free time. He could only hold back his restless thoughts and bid farewell.
After exiting the shop, Persson, who had his back straight, instantly relaxed. He had subconsciously brought out his best state just now, and now that he was out, he naturally relaxed.
"How are you, Purson, my friend, are you alright?" Summer asked with concern.
Persson shrugged and said, "I'm fine. I already knew that the possibility of Head Chef Yuan agreeing was very small. Unfortunately, it seems like there's no chance at all. I have to return to China as soon as possible to see if there are any other exciting ideas."
Although he didn't manage to invite Yuan Zhou, Persson wouldn't easily give up on his idea to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.
Therefore, Persson was eager to return home. After all, there was only one month left. If he wanted to prepare well, sufficient time was also an important condition.
"Person, I think you can stay for lunch before you leave. You should know that it's a great pity that you didn't eat the food cooked by Head Chef Yuan after coming to Chengdu. I think you should give it a try," said Xia Ma.
After all, lining up for lunch didn't take up his spot. It depended on his own ability. Therefore, Summer still reminded him generously.
"Uncle, I think Uncle Summer is right. I should at least try Head Chef Yuan's cooking skills," Hans felt that his saliva was about to flow out.
He was thinking about the taste of the vegetarian banquet he had eaten previously. Since the vegetarian dishes were so delicious, Hans felt that the meat dishes would definitely taste better. There was no doubt about that.
Persson thought for a while and indeed, he wasn't in a hurry. Moreover, he was also very curious. He had heard a lot about Yuan Zhou's cooking skills, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes. Therefore, he wasn't willing to give up.
Although he understood Yuan Zhou's reason for refusing, he was still somewhat dissatisfied. He felt that he was already very sincere. Yuan Zhou didn't even ask about the conditions and price before directly rejecting him. It would be strange if he felt good about it.
Just like that, the three of them came to a decision. Summer was a sly person. He knew that lining up for lunch here didn't only depend on one's early arrival, but also on one's skills. Bringing along two newbies would affect one's performance. To ensure that they could eat lunch, he decided to stay on Taoxi Road and wait for lunchtime to start.
Summer brought Persson and Hans to stroll around Taoxi Road in the name of introducing China.
After seeing Summer and Hans off, Yuan Zhou thought for a while and didn't go out again. Instead, he went into the kitchen and planned to practice the knife skill with his left hand today, the Miracle Move.
He was almost familiar with the Miracle Move. The tool Yuan Zhou used to practice today was tofu. After all, tofu was a relatively difficult ingredient to sculpt among the soft sculptures. He chose it to test the current level of his knife skill with his left hand.
Holding the tofu in his right hand and the knife in his left hand, Yuan Zhou focused his mind and started to try.
"The barbecued meat skewers taste really good. It's totally different from the ones in India." Hans was addicted to the barbecued meat skewers and couldn't extricate himself.
Even Persson, who had always been serious, had a special liking for the roasted gluten. He had already eaten several skewers, but still felt a little unsatisfied.
He was a vegetarian, but not very strict. Except that he didn't eat meat dishes, everything else was acceptable. Even the vegetable dishes cooked with meat oil were acceptable. Therefore, Persson ate all kinds of snacks very happily.
"I think you can eat a little less. We're going to line up for meals in a while. Don't blame me for not reminding you if you eat too much and can't eat anymore."
The scheming Summer didn't open his mouth to remind them until they had eaten a lot. He thought in his heart, "I can eat a little more of the dishes I order later. It's simply perfect."
Of course, Persson and Hans didn't know Summer's sinister intention. After thanking Summer for a while, they stuffed the barbecued meat skewers into their mouths and left the stall selling barbecued meat skewers for other stalls.
Never underestimate a man's shopping ability. Persson and Hans had never been to China before. For a moment, they were dazzled by the dazzling array of goods on Taoxi Road. They bought an oil paint mask, the exquisite small accessories over there were also very beautiful, the simple and unadorned wood carvings over there were also the jingling shell wind chimes that looked very good. They wanted to buy, buy, buy.
In the end, when they went to line up at the entrance of the store, they each carried two big bags, one in each hand. Even Summer couldn't escape. He had no choice. Since Persson and Hans couldn't carry everything, he had to help them carry it.
