The Yuanzhou shop was bustling with activity because of the discount and the arrival of the celebrity. Well, the main reason was because of the discount.
One of the guys said to the goddess, "In the last match of the World Cup qualifiers, the probability of the national football team advancing to the World Cup was only 0.04%. In the end, the national football team didn't advance. After some calculations, the probability of getting a discount from Boss Yuan is 0.018%, even lower than the national football team. If I get a discount, will I have a chance to pursue you?"
The goddess agreed.
Hence, for the goddess, he was willing to risk his life. However, even so, it was already 12: 30 pm, and the guy still hadn't gotten a discount. Fortunately, he got a number.
Li He and the other two didn't know what kind of fate was waiting for them. Two days ago, the guest was still in France.
Then, they turned to Chu Xiao's kitchen.
"Head Chef Chu, that Mister Dean is here. He wants to see you." Just when Chu Xiao was busy cooking, an unfamiliar blonde beauty suddenly called out in a sweet voice.
"Shh, don't talk. Come with me." Before Chu Xiao could raise his head, a man with light brown hair walked out of the kitchen. He grabbed the blonde beauty's arm and dragged her out.
"Dadada," the two walked out quickly. Only then did the blonde beauty pull her arm back and look at the man in front of her with dissatisfaction.
"Jimmy, what are you doing? I'm here to look for Mr. Chu. I have something to discuss with him," the blonde beauty said in an unfriendly tone.
"I'm helping you. Can't you see that Head Chef Chu is busy? You don't want to work now, right? "the man with light brown hair called Jimmy said disdainfully.
"Mr. Chu isn't that petty." The blonde beauty didn't believe him. She thought he was just trying to scare her.
"Oh, if you don't believe me, you can go in again. Let's see if you can stay until noon," Jimmy crossed his arms and said provocatively.
"Hmph." The blonde beauty looked at the solemn and quiet kitchen, then at the provocation on Jimmy's face. She snorted coldly and turned to leave.
The blonde beauty remembered that on the first day, the restaurant manager had told her not to disturb Head Chef Chu when he was cooking.
"Big breasts and no brains." Kim sneered as he looked at the blonde beauty's back.
"There's really a guy called Dean looking for Head Chef Chu in the front hall. He said he knows him," the blonde beauty suddenly turned her head and said to Jimmy.
"I know. There are many people who know Head Chef Chu. Who does that Dean think he is?" Jimmy waved his hand nonchalantly and returned to the kitchen.
After returning to the kitchen, Gimli tiptoed over to Chu Xiao. At this moment, Chu Xiao was earnestly boiling the soup.
Chu Xiao was holding a ladle made of wrought iron, gently stirring a smooth iron pot. The pot was boiling with a slightly brownish broth, and from time to time, different kinds of small fish would be brought to the surface by the boiling broth.
It was obviously a pot of fish soup, a pot of mixed fish soup.
This fish soup was also known as Marseille fish soup. It was one of the most famous dishes in France. It was a complex fish soup from the Mediterranean coast of France, and also the glory of Provence cuisine.
In fact, there were many places in France that had fish soup. Depending on the place, the name would also vary. If it was in Burgundy, then the fish soup would be called Burgundy fish soup. The name was simple, but this kind of fish soup was still the most famous in Marseilles, and it was known as one of the three most famous soups in the world.
Marseille fish soup had a very long history, about 2,500 years ago. It was passed down from the Greeks. However, Marseilles was originally located in the Mediterranean, and the seafood there was abundant, suitable for this dish.
The cooking method of Marseille fish soup was actually very simple. It didn't require much cooking, so by the time Jimmy returned, Chu Xiao had already finished the work.
"Ding." Chu Xiao put down the ladle in his hand, indicating that the dish was finished.
"Head Chef, there's someone outside looking for you. It's someone called Dean," Jimmy said.
"Dean? Dean Bradbury? "Chu Xiao asked.
"The waiter outside told me. I didn't go out to have a look," Jimmy said honestly.
"Alright, got it." Chu Xiao nodded, but he didn't go out immediately. Instead, he slowly began to wash his hands.
"Head Chef, is that Dean the same Dean?" Jimmy asked curiously.
Jimmy was very curious when he heard the name Chu Xiao said. After all, Dean Bradbury was a very famous genius chef in France. If it wasn't for Chu Xiao, he would be the most famous chef in France.
More importantly, this Dean's culinary skills were superb and he was quite popular with girls. He was very handsome with his blond hair and blue eyes.
"What do you think?" Chu Xiao asked back.
"I don't know, either. That's why I'm asking you," Jimmy said with a smile.
"He must be looking for me at this time to get a free meal. Go and bring the fish soup out. It's for two." Chu Xiao's answer could be considered as a disguised admission.
"No problem. I'll bring it to you personally," Jimmy immediately agreed.
"Pay attention to the kitchen," Chu Xiao said before walking out of the kitchen.
As soon as he walked into the dining room, Chu Xiao saw Dean Bradbury sitting quietly at his seat with nothing in front of him.
"Mr. Chu, long time no see." Dean Bradbury saw Chu Xiao first. He immediately stood up and greeted him with a serious expression.
"Um." Chu Xiao nodded.
"I wonder if I can taste Mr. Chu's cooking today?" Dean Bradbury looked at Chu Xiao expectantly.
"Didn't you come at this time to get a free meal?" Chu Xiao sat down naturally and said.
"Indeed. Sorry for troubling you, Mr. Chu." Dean did not hesitate and immediately admitted.
"Let's eat fish soup today," Chu Xiao said lightly.
"That's great. Thank you, Mr. Chu." Dean looked at the position of the kitchen expectantly and waited for the fish soup to be served.
Speaking of which, Dean Bradbury and Chu Xiao were not very familiar with each other, but they knew each other. They were old acquaintances from competitions.
Chu Xiao would basically meet this person in many large competitions, but the two had only fought once. Of course, without exception, this Dean Bradbury lost to Chu Xiao.
Since then, every time Dean Bradbury met Chu Xiao, he would take the initiative to greet him. The two became familiar with each other, but they rarely met in private.
Therefore, the two did not talk much. They just quietly waited for Jimmy to bring out the fish soup.
The Marseille fish soup was not divided into appetizers and appetizers. The first dish served was the fish soup, but it was just fish soup.
"Please enjoy." Jimmy put down the tray and dutifully did his job as a waiter.
"Mr. Chu, I won't stand on ceremony." Dean picked up the spoon impatiently and started to eat.
"Let's drink." Chu Xiao also picked up the bowl and spoon and started to drink.
French fish soup was not particular about removing the fishy smell, but Chu Xiao cleverly combined the fishy smell and the umami taste. It tasted like the salty smell of the sea, but at the same time, it was as fresh as the sea. The taste was wonderful.
The two were very serious when drinking the soup. Chu Xiao drank it seriously to see if there was anything that needed improvement, while Dean tasted it seriously to see the gap between him and Chu Xiao.
After finishing the bowl of fish soup, Dean did not even touch the bread. He only drank the soup.
"The taste is different from other Marseille fish soup. Is it another innovation of Mr. Chu?" Dean looked at Chu Xiao with a fervent expression.
"No. This is the traditional Marseille fish soup." Chu Xiao knitted his brows first and then said.
"Traditional? But the taste is completely different from the traditional one, "Dean said affirmatively.
Chu Xiao had always been famous for his creative dishes. Now that he suddenly made a traditional Marseille fish soup that even Dean had never tried, it was no wonder that he was surprised.
"Nowadays, it's all the improved versions. On the contrary, fewer people know about the traditional ones." Chu Xiao only said that and didn't say anything else.
Dean was very smart. He immediately thought of the origin of the Marseille fish soup. It was made by fishermen with the leftover fish in the net and didn't have any complicated craftsmanship. Almost instantly, he understood what Chu Xiao meant. He looked at Chu Xiao with an even more fervent gaze.
"I see. No wonder you are my lifelong rival." Dean sighed with emotion.
Chu Xiao, "…"
