"You win." While taking out the money, Ling Hong waited for Engineer Cheng. It seemed that he intended to stare at him until he felt guilty.
However, Engineer Cheng didn't feel anything. He straightforwardly said to Yuan Zhou respectfully, "I'm going to drive the car."
"Um." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
"Like master, like disciple." Ling Hong revealed a manner of "the world is cold" and "people's hearts are not what they used to be."
"It's fine if they don't pay. But I, a rare resource with breasts, thighs, and a perky butt, didn't even get the treatment of being treated. What a blockhead!" Jiang Changxi touched her beautiful face and revealed a manner of sighing.
"You are indeed rare, but nobody dares to flirt with you. Other girls will feel shy when they hear you tell dirty jokes. You mean your dirty jokes make the guy feel embarrassed?" Wuhai paid the money and said straightforwardly when he passed by Jiang Changxi.
"You are just a boy scout. Of course, you don't know how good a woman like me is." Jiang Changxi rolled her eyes at Wuhai charmingly and then left after paying the money.
"Tsk-tsk. You are really a three-lost woman. You dare to say anything." Ling Hong came out last and added insult to injury.
"Hurry up. Boss Yuan is leaving." This time, Jiang Changxi didn't say much. She just pointed at Yuan Zhou and Engineer Cheng who were waiting at the side.
"Got it." Ling Hong was still angry. When he saw Engineer Cheng, he straightforwardly turned his head and ignored him.
The way back was quite smooth. Engineer Cheng drove carefully and steadily, which made Yuan Zhou feel quite relieved.
For the hotpot in the evening, Wuhai also figured out a special skill of snatching dishes, such as "Wuhai's First Style of Subduing the Dragon" or "Toppling the Mountains and Overturning the Seas". He ate the most dishes and was quite satisfied.
After finding the inspiration, Wuhai became normal. As usual, he started to line up for dinner early and of course, he didn't forget to snatch the dishes.
At this moment, the customers began to miss the days when Wuhai would squat outside the door looking for inspiration.
Time passed by very quickly. The Sino-Japan Exchange Conference was held on the 10th of January. Soon, it was the 8th. Yuan Zhou was ready to set off for Shanghai to participate in the conference.
It would start on the 10th of January and end on the 18th. After the ceremony, it would not delay the New Year. It was a good day.
While Yuan Zhou was preparing for the departure, the chefs from Country R, especially Dashi Xiujie, were not idle.
Ever since he was criticized by Yuan Zhou to be useless, he had collected Yuan Zhou's information and decided to invite a heavyweight chef to participate in this exchange meeting. Right now, he was making a report in the office of Chairman Masheng.
"President, please approve my request," Dashi Xiujie said earnestly as he made a 90-degree bow.
"Xiujie, have you thought it through?" President Masheng frowned and asked.
"Yes. Since that Chef Yuan refuses to teach me, I have no choice but to do so," Dashi Xiujie said resolutely.
"But has Tengyuan Jiayuan agreed to your request?" When he asked that, Chairman Masheng appeared to be quite solemn and respectful both in terms of address and tone.
After all, the title of Jiayuan represented the grandmaster level of achievements in a certain aspect in Country R. Jiayuan was a strict system, but more than that, it was an honorable title.
Therefore, Tengyuan Jiayuan was such a person who had studied Chinese Cuisine to the grandmaster level. Regardless of whether it was the tongue of the chef or the craftsmanship, he surpassed Masheng, the Chairman of Chefs.
Only such a person could be bestowed with such a title, and this title could be inherited by the direct descendants.
"I don't think Tengyuan Jiayuan will refuse," Dashi Xiujie said confidently.
"Besides, that Chu Xiao is also one of the chefs this time. Tengyuan Jiayuan is very willing to go there to try whether his culinary skills have improved or not," Dashi Xiujie continued saying.
"Okay. Then I approve you to invite Tengyuan Jiayuan to participate in this exchange meeting." Chairman Masheng nodded his head.
"Okay. Thank you very much, chairman." Dashi Xiujie bowed and thanked him again excitedly.
"Go ahead." Chairman Masheng signaled Dashi Xiujie to leave.
Only then did Dashi Xiujie exit the office respectfully and leave the building. Then, he directly went to find Tengyuan Jiayuan. Of course, he took a taxi there instead of squeezing into the subway.
"Tengyuan Jiayuan is here this time. Although it seems like he is bullying the weak, that Chef Yuan is too abominable." Sitting in the taxi, Dashi Xiujie clenched his fists.
Judging from his manner, he was infuriated at the mention of Yuan Zhou.
"As a Chinese chef, what does he know about Kabayaki eel? How dare he criticize me like that?" There was a contemptuous look in Dashi Xiujie's eyes.
"And that insufferably arrogant Chu Xiao is probably going to be scolded this time. After all, Tengyuan Jiayuan's tongue is not an ordinary tongue." Dashi Xiujie prepared to kill two birds with one stone.
"If it weren't that you are always in Europe and Tengyuan Jiayuan is unwilling to go to the bumpy road, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to keep his reputation from being criticized." Dashi Xiujie was also disdainful of Chu Xiao, the youngest Michelin three-star chef in history.
"Haw-haw. I'm going to be disgraced together with Ma Lu this time." Dashi Xiujie thought complacently in the heart.
While Dashi Xiujie was fantasizing about Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao being criticized by Tengyuan Jiayuan and smiling, he arrived at his destination.
Ma Lu was also a bastard. In Dashi Xiujie's heart, Yuan Zhou was a bastard.
"Here's your address." The driver in the front reminded him.
"Okay. Thank you." Dashi Xiujie lowered his head and thanked him. Then, he paid the driver and left.
This was a quiet villa area. The houses were no more than three stories high. Some of them were basically hidden in the tall trees. The entire wall was gray like tiles, which looked a little simple and solemn.
Dashi Xiujie took out the key card and directly swiped the door. After walking for about 10 minutes, he arrived in front of a villa.
The iron door in the front was electronic. After Dashi Xiujie pressed the doorbell, the other side looked at the surveillance camera and then the door opened automatically.
"Hello, I'm Dashi Xiujie. I specially come to visit you for the exchange meeting." When he walked to the front door, Dashi Xiujie directly bowed to the door respectfully.
After a sound of "Zhi Ya", the mahogany door was opened. It was an old woman.
"Come in. He's waiting for you in the study. Hurry up." The woman said gently and pointed at the room on the left on the second floor with the door open.
"Thank you." Only then did Dashi Xiujie enter the room and take off his shoes. Then, he walked to the second floor straightforwardly.
The door of the study was open. At a glance, he could see the huge bookcase at the back, which led straight to the third floor and was very long. It seemed that there were two more big bookshelves at the back.
The Four Great Classical Novels of China were placed conspicuously on the bookshelves. There were Chinese and Japanese versions and even English versions. Below the bookshelves were a lot of The Analects of Confucius, The Great Learning, The Doctrine of the Mean and The Book of Songs. Of course, they were also in various language versions.
In front of such a frighteningly large bookshelf, a man in his fifties with a straight back and a neat short beard was sitting behind a desk. He was wearing a black kimono and looked to be at most fifty years old.
"Come in, Xiujie." The man said in a steady and powerful voice. After saying that, he directly lowered his head to read the book in front of him.
It was a Historical Records, which was even a traditional Chinese version.
"Okay." Dashi Xiujie was a little perturbed in his heart, but he still walked in.
He was the Japanese who had won the title of Grand Master Jia Yuan because of his Chinese cuisine. He was even evaluated by those Americans in the Global Gourmet Magazine as the Japanese who knew Chinese cuisine better than the Chinese.
Although the Chinese didn't agree with this title, it could be seen from this.
It could be said that Dashi Xiujie had put in a lot of effort.
