Although Dean didn't know the rule that Yuan Zhou didn't talk about personal matters when he was cooking, as a chef with three Michelin stars, he knew about this rule.
He stood aside and waited for several minutes. When Yuan Zhou finally carried the dishes out, he said, "Chef Yuan, can you lend me your kitchen? I want to cook something."
Dean's tone was quite polite. But Yuan Zhou's answer was,
"Sorry, I can't."
Yuan Zhou's tone was resolute. Dean didn't say anything more. Actually, Dean's attitude was the same as Yuan Zhou's. The kitchenware and the kitchen were all personal belongings and couldn't be lent out.
When Dean turned around and left, he saw three pairs of hopeful eyes outside the restaurant.
"Chef Yuan won't lend it to me," Dean took a deep breath while speaking, "but I have a backup plan."
The first half of the sentence made people feel cold, but the second half of the sentence made people feel hopeful again.
"What backup plan?" Bai Guo asked immediately.
"We can go outside to buy some ingredients. There is a restaurant nearby. We can ask the crew of the program to borrow some tools from them. I will cook something outside," Dean said, "Restaurants usually don't prohibit people from bringing their own food."
This was really a good idea. Restaurants usually prohibited people from bringing their own drinks at most. Few restaurants prohibited people from bringing their own food. Of course, Yuanzhou shop didn't necessarily have this rule. Therefore, it was necessary to investigate in advance.
Jiang Meisi went out and asked a onlooker who was filming.
"Can people bring their own food in the restaurant?"
Being asked this question by a celebrity, the onlooker was stupefied at first. Then he came back to his senses and thought about the question. But after thinking for a while, he found that he didn't seem to know the answer to this question.
"I don't think so. I have never seen anyone bring their own food in Yuanzhou shop."
"Sure. I have seen Yuan Yuan bring her Pan-Fried Pancakes with the blueberry jam in the restaurant for breakfast."
"You are right. I have seen people bring their own food before."
"That's right. Few people bring food because Boss Yuan's food is too delicious."
Jiang Meisi got an accurate answer from their argument. Yuanzhou shop didn't prohibit people from bringing their own food. It was only because the food in Yuanzhou shop was delicious that very few people brought their own food. Jiang Meisi ran back happily and told the others the good news.
Now, Dean's backup plan could be used. Li He and the other two looked at Dean. This time, not only was there a halo above Dean's head, but his body was also glowing.
With a plan, they began to act. Li He told the production crew about this matter and asked them to do their best to help, such as borrowing cooking utensils and the like.
In the end, Dean was very dissatisfied with the ingredients and kitchenware he found. He had high requirements for the ingredients he cooked.
Dean called Chu Xiao. After all, Huaxia was his territory. He definitely knew where to buy good ingredients in Chengdu.
A phone call was made.
"Beep, beep, beep … The number you have dialed is busy. Please try again later."
He dialed Chu Xiao's number. After two rings, the other side hung up. Dean thought for a while. Maybe Chu Xiao was busy researching a new dish and would definitely call him back later.
Therefore, Dean looked at his phone and waited for another three minutes. Since he didn't receive a call, he called again.
If it was someone else, according to Dean's temper, he definitely wouldn't call again after being hung up. Moreover, he would blacklist that person. But after all, Chu Xiao was his lifelong enemy. Therefore, it didn't matter if he called again.
When the call got through, he only heard, "Sorry, the number you have dialed is not available."
Dean, "??"
Turned off?
Holding the phone, Dean's mood was extremely bad. At this time, the noisy environment quieted down.
"Dean, I found a high-class western restaurant here. Maybe we can go there and have a look." It was Dean's assistant who spoke.
This assistant had brown hair and grayish-blue eyes. She was originally quite good-looking. If one looked carefully, she looked a bit like Sophie Marceau, just that she was the low-class version.
The assistant raised her head slightly. Her grayish-blue eyes were full of sincerity. At this time, the benefits of having a good-looking face were reflected. Looking at such beautiful and serious eyes, Dean couldn't lose his temper and could only suppress his unhappiness.
"Then do you think there are ingredients that I can satisfy there?" Dean's tone was still a little stiff.
"I think so. Because you also know the head chef. It's Mr. Li." The assistant revealed a sweet smile.
Before Dean said anything, the several stars following behind him started to discuss.
"Woah! This Dean knows the people here?" Jiang Meisi exclaimed in shock. "Woah!
"It seems so. Let's go and have a look and we'll know," Li He said.
"Um. Even if he can't help, he can still shout for us." Bai Guo was referring to the matter of him singing just now.
"Let's go. Let's go. Hurry up," Jiang Meisi said while walking forward.
The camera at the side recorded everything faithfully and also followed them to Li Li's restaurant.
The group of people arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. As there were too many people, the restaurant was still open. If they all went in noisily, it would definitely affect the business of others. Therefore, Li He, who was the most experienced among them, stopped.
"How about this, Mr. Dean. You go and have a look at the ingredients. We'll go and borrow the pot and stove. What do you think?" Li He stopped Dean and said sincerely.
"Of course." Dean nodded his head.
Li He, Jiang Meisi, and Bai Guo were all popular stars. Even if the customers of Yuanzhou shop didn't care about the food, they still had a lot of fans.
Therefore, apart from the camera assistants and a group of people, there was also a circle of fans outside. When such a large group of people arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Li Li didn't come out. However, the manager, Liu Ruoyu, directly came out to welcome them.
"Hello, are you coming in for a meal or filming a program?" Liu Ruoyu asked amiably with a decent smile on her face.
This kind of work was usually done by the mature and experienced Li He. He took a step forward, looked at the work pass on Liu Ruoyu's chest, and said with a smile before saying anything.
"Here's the thing. We are filming a program called Roll, Dear Beef. Now we need your help, Manager Liu. Is that okay?" Li He said amiably, without any airs of a star.
"Of course. How can I help you?" Liu Ruoyu thought quickly and immediately agreed with a smile.
"Thank you, Manager Liu. Let's walk this way so that we won't affect your business." Li He walked to the door considerately.
"Okay." Liu Ruoyu nodded her head readily. Then, she led the others to the side and vacated a spot at the door.
While Li He, Bai Guo, and Jiang Meisi began to borrow pots and pans, Dean led his assistant and the cameraman directly to the kitchen.
