Yuan Zhou stared at the mission carefully for a few minutes before speaking in his heart.
"System, let's not talk about your damn name first. Let's talk about this mission. Why does it seem that there are two missions?" Due to the principle of asking if he didn't understand, he would be cheated. Therefore, he asked immediately.
The system displayed, "The mission will be completed if you win this event."
"Oh, so you mean the mission will be completed if I win the championship?" Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed, "Yes, little comrade."
"Please throw away your title." Yuan Zhou was speechless.
The system did not respond. Yuan Zhou took a deep breath and ignored the strange title. He then continued to look at the mission in detail.
"This reward seems good. The reward is Sichuan Cuisine. I wonder if it's the entire Sichuan Cuisine." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself as he took out his phone from the drawer under the countertop.
"System, does this Sichuan Cuisine refer to the entire Sichuan Cuisine, including Palace Cuisine and Chongqing Cuisine?" Yuan Zhou asked.
The system displayed, "Yes, including them."
"Then are the accompanying snacks included as well?" Yuan Zhou was not being long-winded. This was the valuable experience he had gained from the battle of wits and courage with the system.
The system displayed, "Yes."
"There's no requirement for the accompanying snacks this time, right?" Yuan Zhou asked cautiously.
The system displayed, "You will know after completing the mission."
"Hehe, I have a feeling that you are going to cheat me again." Yuan Zhou facepalmed.
However, even with such a generous reward, Yuan Zhou still had to complete the mission. After all, the temptation of mastering the entire cuisine was too great.
After calming himself down, Yuan Zhou prepared to investigate what this competition was all about.
Nowadays, information could be found on the internet. Naturally, Yuan Zhou first went online to check it out.
"Swish, swish, swish." Yuan Zhou scrolled through his phone very quickly. In just a short while, he had opened many web pages. There was even information from Baidu Encyclopedia.
After browsing through them one by one, Yuan Zhou had a preliminary understanding of the competition. However, this understanding was enough to give Yuan Zhou a headache.
It turned out that in order to better promote the culture of Sichuan Cuisine, there would be an election for the Sichuan Cuisine restaurant every year. Furthermore, this event was jointly organized by the government and Sichuan Cuisine chefs, and the requirements were extremely strict.
To participate in this election, one had to first be recommended by the officials, and then the chefs would vote among themselves. Only then could such a shop be selected.
To put it bluntly, they had to represent the face of Chuan Province. Therefore, this event wasn't decided by netizens. After all, there were too many variables.
One had to know that the restaurants that were chosen would be recommended by the government and receive all sorts of promotional resources. Of course, the most important thing was the recognition from the official media. Which Sichuan Cuisine chef wouldn't covet the title of the world's best Sichuan Cuisine? Therefore, the competition was fierce every year.
Up to now, this activity had only been held for three times. Yuan Zhou looked at the first three restaurants that had won the laurel and felt even more uncertain.
These three restaurants all had a common characteristic, which was that they had a long history. One of the restaurants was even opened by the former master of the famous Sichuan Cuisine chef, Wu Yusheng. Coincidentally, the promotional dish of that restaurant was also Wu Yusheng's signature dish, Kung Pao Chicken. That restaurant had a history of more than a hundred years.
Wu Yusheng himself was the founder of Emei Restaurant. His dishes were loved by celebrities, including Mei Lanfang, Zhang Youyu, and the painter Qi Baishi.
The first one was already so amazing, so naturally, the second one wouldn't be bad either.
It was Zhang Fu's Sichuan Kitchen, a private chef restaurant that Zhang Guangwu once worked in. This restaurant used Zhang Guangwu's signature dish, Sichuan Boiled Fish, which was also extremely famous in the country.
Zhang Guangwu was the family chef in Zhang Qun's residence. His culinary skills were deeply loved by Zhang Xueliang and Fourth Miss Zhao.
The other one was also Mansion Cuisine with a long history. The famous Boiled Cabbage was his family's signature dish.
Compared to these three restaurants, Yuanzhou shop was really just a small restaurant. It had a short history of less than two years, but it was very famous, at least in Chuan Province. After all, it was judged by the system to be the most famous restaurant in Chuan Province.
But even so, it couldn't be compared to those famous restaurants that had a long history and were famous since the Republic of China. What else could he use to compete?
This time, Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled. Not to mention whether he could get his hands on it, how was he going to get the official nomination? Yuan Zhou searched for a long time and only found the words "official recommendation".
"System, isn't this mission too difficult?" Yuan Zhou really wanted to sigh this time.
The system displayed, "As the future Master Chef, this must be the honor of the host."
"Well, that makes sense. In terms of strength, I have the Chengdu School of Sichuan Cuisine, so I'm not weak. But the problem is that I don't even have the chance to stand on the same stage as others." Yuan Zhou sighed.
That's right. Although this was a competition, it wasn't something that could be achieved by competing in culinary skills or shouting provocations. How many people could a mere "official recommendation" obstruct them? Even if Yuan Zhou wanted to compete with him, no one could compete with him.
Of course, if it was a competition, Yuan Zhou was very confident in his culinary skills. He also knew how to cook Sichuan Boiled Fish and Kung Pao Chicken. But when it came to the long history, Yuan Zhou couldn't catch up.
The system displayed, "Little comrade, the system has high expectations of you."
"Thank you for your expectations." Yuan Zhou facepalmed. In the face of such a difficult problem, he didn't want to be bothered by this crazy form of address.
How could a Yuanzhou shop with only Yuan Zhou complete such a mission?
"There's no free lunch in the world." Yuan Zhou sighed. He finally knew why this reward was so generous.
The system displayed, "Little comrade, you can make your own lunch. The system will only charge you for the most basic ingredients."
"… Thank you." Yuan Zhou said helplessly. What the system said made sense.
Yuan Zhou frowned and thought carefully. He wasn't in the mood to respond to the system's teasing.
If it was a normal time, Yuan Zhou definitely wouldn't let go of such an opportunity.
"First, I have to get the admission ticket for this competition." Yuan Zhou touched his forehead and calculated carefully in his heart. Since he couldn't find it on the internet, he could only ask others. He took a look and found out that this event was jointly organized by the Sichuan Cuisine Heritage Association and the China Chefs' Association.
The door of the restaurant was open. Yuan Zhou sat on a chair, holding his phone with one hand and touching his forehead with the other. He had a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem of the century. Chairman Zhou Shijie definitely knew about it.
"Ding Ling Ling, Ding Ling Ling." Suddenly, Yuan Zhou's phone rang with an ear-piercing sound.
"Huh?" Yuan Zhou lowered his head and looked at the name displayed on the screen. It was Zhou Shijie.
Such a coincidence?
"Hello, Yuan. Lunch has ended, right?" The moment Yuan Zhou answered the phone, Zhou Shijie's friendly voice came from the phone.
"Yes, Chairman." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"How have you been recently? Are there any new dishes? This old man is looking forward to it," Zhou Shijie said with a smile.
"Yes, I'm thinking about it," Yuan Zhou said.
"That's good. As chefs, we have to hold the knife and spatula at all times. Only by doing so can we improve," Zhou Shijie said.
Every time Zhou Shijie called, he would first ask about Yuan Zhou's culinary skills. Yuan Zhou was already used to it.
