The hotel room of Yuan Zhou was on the 21st floor, but the banquet hall of the meeting place was on the 7th floor and the western restaurant was on the 6th floor. Chairman Zhou was quite generous this time. He directly booked two floors, namely, the 6th floor and the 7th floor.
Of course, the 7th floor was used as the meeting place for exchange and the 6th floor was used as a place for discussion and rest. The 6th floor had been decorated, but Yuan Zhou didn't go there to see it.
He took the elevator directly to the 7th floor.
After a sound of "Ding", the door of the elevator opened and Yuan Zhou walked out.
"This hotel is really generous." Looking at the conspicuous slogan in front of him, Yuan Zhou sighed with emotion.
Jiali Hotel was indeed generous. As soon as the elevator door was opened, there was a conspicuous sign with the words "Exchange Meeting" written in both Chinese and Japanese. Moreover, the characters were all gilded.
In the middle was the slogan while on both sides there were double wooden doors, which were also decorated with flannels and so on, which looked grand and beautiful.
Yuan Zhou, who had difficulty in choosing, walked to the left habitually and took out the door card given by the receptionist.
"Ding", Yuan Zhou took the card and swiped it lightly. Then, the door was opened.
"It seems that there is no one left." It was pitch-dark in the hall. Yuan Zhou muttered.
"Pa", all the lights were switched on by Yuan Zhou. The bright lights suddenly illuminated the entire banquet hall.
The arrangement of the banquet hall was similar to that of Japan. The kitchen stoves and azure stone countertops were also arranged in a circle.
However, the location of Huaxia Banquet Hall was much larger. There were a total of 18 kitchen stoves for chefs. Every kitchen stove was equipped with an energy-saving gas stove and a suitable frying pan was placed on it.
The position of Yuan Zhou was quite conspicuous. It was the best position and was generally used for the people with the highest status.
There were two positions. This time, apart from the position of Yuan Zhou, there was another kitchen stove at the side.
At the edge of the kitchen stove was the knife holder, which was used for cooking boneless meat and vegetables and the chopping knife. The knife holder was specially used to deal with boneless meat and vegetables and the chopping knife was specially used to deal with boneless or extremely hard ingredients.
Among the 17 kitchen stoves, including Yuan Zhou's, the knife holders used were all these three kinds of knives. Only the kitchen stove at the side was different. There were two knife holders each.
"There are so many of them." Yuan Zhou looked at the sabers carefully.
There was a chef's knife, a boning knife for cutting meat and bones, a small knife for cutting vegetables and steaks, and a tomato knife with a wavy edge for cutting tomatoes.
These were all knives that belonged to western chefs. Each of them gleamed coldly like all the other knives.
"This must be Chu Xiao's." Yuan Zhou didn't need to look at the nameplate to know that it was Chu Xiao's position.
After all, in Yuan Zhou's opinion, only Chu Xiao knew how to use these knives. Of course, it was also because Chu Xiao was the only western chef that Yuan Zhou knew who could attend this event.
He had no idea that Li Li from the restaurant next door would also participate in this exchange meeting.
Yuan Zhou leaned forward and looked at the nameplate in front of him. Sure enough, the name Chu Xiao was written in both Chinese and Japanese.
"As expected." Yuan Zhou was very proud of himself.
"I wonder what my nameplate looks like." Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that he hadn't looked at his nameplate carefully just now.
Yuan Zhou reached out his hand to take it, but he misjudged the length of his hand and didn't bend down. As a result, he grabbed nothing at the first time. Well … his short hand.
Only after the second time did he get his nameplate and start to look at it.
Name: Yuan Zhou
Age: 24
Length of Cooking: 3 years of official cooking experience
Specialties: Freshwater fish, livestock, staple food, and Chinese desserts.
"3 years of official cooking experience?" Yuan Zhou was quite puzzled about the length of cooking experience.
"Is it calculated from the time when I worked in that restaurant?" Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of the restaurant where he once worked.
"It's more or less the same. However, the dishes of this restaurant are really different from those in Japan. They don't even have a specific name." Yuan Zhou put down his nameplate and looked at the nameplate of Chu Xiao's restaurant next door.
The dishes written on the nameplate were even simpler. There were only four words, Creative Dishes.
"Haw-haw. This guy really has a long cooking experience. However, this creative dish is really interesting." Yuan Zhou first looked at the dishes that Chu Xiao was good at and then saw his length of cooking experience.
Then, Yuan Zhou began to familiarize himself with the kitchen directly and didn't look at all the kitchen stoves.
Standing on the spot, Yuan Zhou picked up every kitchenware with his hands, no matter it was the spatula, the spoon or even the pot itself.
Even the portable stove was picked up and weighed by Yuan Zhou for a while before he put it down.
"Well, the weight and quality are both good. Basically, it's easy to use. Now I can directly use it." Yuan Zhou nodded his head and was quite satisfied with the stove.
This time, Yuan Zhou turned on the portable stove and began to check the temperature of the flame, the time for the pot to heat up and the time for the spatula to heat up.
Every time, Yuan Zhou checked it carefully and remembered it in his heart.
After that, Yuan Zhou cleaned every kitchenware, including the knives and the pot. He didn't even let go of the chopping board.
"The chopping board is a little bad. There's still the smell of the new bamboo. But it can make up for it." Yuan Zhou sniffed it carefully.
The whole process of Yuan Zhou's familiarization lasted about one and a half hours. It was already 2: 00 am at that time.
The way Yuan Zhou familiarized himself with the kitchen was also very strange. Compared with other chefs, it was indeed strange.
Before Yuan Zhou came, the other 16 chefs familiarized themselves with each other and cooked the dish that they were best at, which was used to check the kitchenware and knives.
However, even though Yuan Zhou started the fire, he didn't stir-fry the dish.
"In this way, I don't need to clean up. It's not bad." After Yuan Zhou put everything back in place, he took a look at it contentedly and then left.
That's right. The reason why Yuan Zhou didn't cook by himself was very simple. It was because there was oil smoke after cooking and it must be cleaned up. At this time, only the night shift staff were on duty.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou directly changed to a familiar way, which could neither delay him to familiarize himself with the kitchenware nor cause extra trouble.
Yuan Zhou's principle was that he couldn't bring trouble to others because of his own problems.
"It's almost time to go to bed." Yuan Zhou checked the time in the banquet hall and then turned off the light and left.
Yuan Zhou had to get up early. Even in Shanghai, Yuan Zhou didn't intend to stop exercising. After all, the smell of medicine and tinnitus on the plane were too strong.
Therefore, Yuan Zhou wouldn't interrupt his exercise.
Back in the room, Yuan Zhou washed up step by step and then went to bed.
At five o 'clock in the morning, Yuan Zhou opened his eyes on time.
"It feels like I should get up after sleeping for a short time." Yuan Zhou covered himself with the quilt and didn't want to get up.
"Xi Xi Suo Suo." Yuan Zhou directly rolled over and then saw the medicine for airsickness on the bedside table. With a quiver, he immediately woke up.
"It's time to get up." Thinking of the painful tinnitus, Yuan Zhou immediately turned over and sat up. He put on his sportswear and prepared to go downstairs to exercise.
Yuan Zhou found a place to exercise in the hotel and was considered to be very familiar with it. Therefore, he came back after exercising within the stipulated time.
After washing up, Yuan Zhou didn't change into his regular clothes. Instead, he took out a particularly gorgeous dress from the suitcase.
It was a blue flying suit with cloud patterns. It was a complete set, including a hat and shoes.
"Chairman Zhou said that more than a dozen media outlets would come. This time, it's a live broadcast. Of course, a prince charming like me should make a dazzling appearance. It's also a good choice to be low-key and luxurious." Yuan Zhou said naturally while carefully arranging the hem of his cuffs.
