"Um." As usual, Yuan Zhou nodded his head and answered.
After asking about his culinary skills, they made some small talk. Mainly, Zhou Shijie asked him about his ice sculpting practice "vaguely". In the end, he changed the topic and got down to business.
"Here's the thing. I see your restaurant is quite popular now. The Sichuan Cuisine is quite authentic. Are you interested in taking part in the Exemplary Restaurant Election this year?" Zhou Shijie said.
"Exemplary Restaurant?" Yuan Zhou was surprised and then asked.
"Yeah, I haven't told you. Sichuan Province holds the Exemplary Restaurant Activity of Sichuan Cuisine every year. As the chairman of the judging committee, I happen to have a quota of recommendation. I recommended your restaurant this year." Zhou Shijie said lightly.
It was simply like a pillow when one was sleepy. Zhou Shijie's words solved the problem of the admission ticket just in time. Yuan Zhou revealed a smile on his face. Plans couldn't keep up with changes. The system definitely didn't expect that, either.
"Thank you." Yuan Zhou said respectfully.
"Don't mention it. A young genius like you joining our Chefs' Alliance is the wealth of our Chefs' Alliance as well as a great fortune for the chefs' circle of China. Naturally, such an activity should be given to a capable young man like Little Yuan. Only in this way can the culinary circle have a better development." Zhou Shijie's words were quite official.
"I only talked about the Exemplary Restaurant Election and forgot to ask Yuan. You agreed, didn't you?" Zhou Shijie knew that Yuan Zhou wasn't used to being polite, so he directly ended the topic.
"Yes. Thank you for your recommendation, chairman." Yuan Zhou nodded his head solemnly and said, "I definitely won't let your recommendation go in vain."
"Good. That's good. I won't disturb your rest anymore. You also have to pay attention to your health while practicing culinary skills. I'm hanging up now." Zhou Shijie nodded his head contentedly and then hung up the phone.
The admission ticket was solved perfectly. Next, it depended on Yuan Zhou's own ability. The system determined that Yuanzhou shop was the most famous restaurant in Sichuan Province now. It was indeed so. But in fact, due to the time when it was opened, it didn't have an official status.
If it could really win the Exemplary Restaurant Award this year, it would definitely be a success.
Of course, this matter was not that simple.
On the other side, after Yuan Zhou agreed, Zhou Shijie felt satisfied and relaxed.
"This kid is pretty good." Zhou Shijie put down the phone and said, "He's focused on cooking."
"President, you've already given an invitation to Boss Yuan. He'll definitely agree to it," Zhong Lili, who was standing at the side, said.
"You don't understand. This guy is very arrogant. It's best if he agrees to participate in it. In this way, he will have a closer relationship with the Chef's Alliance." Zhou Shijie said smilingly.
"Boss Yuan is a chef." Zhong Lili didn't understand. "How could he run away?"
"Yeah. Not only is he a chef, but he's also a genius chef. Not only that, he's also a master of cooked wheaten food at such a young age. And now, he's also an ice sculptor. Tell me, how can he know so many craftsmanship?" Zhou Shijie felt a headache when he thought of that.
It wasn't a headache at all. He had finally managed to get rid of Steamed Bun Ji's plan to poach him. But before he could take a breath, the ice sculpting circle represented by Yang Shuxin came again.
Steamed Bun Ji was not bad. At least, cooked wheaten food was also a kind of cooking skill. But the ice sculpting circle was definitely invaded by "foreign races".
It was not easy for an old man over 50 years old to protect a talent. He really worked hard and it was also a kind of happy trouble.
"Actually, cooked wheaten food is related to cooking. As for ice sculpting, we often cooperate with ice sculpting in our dishes." Zhong Lili could only comfort him in this way.
"Of course I know that. If it didn't matter, how could I bear Old Yang's anger?" Speaking of Yang Shuxin, Zhou Shijie got angry.
That's right. After Yang Shuxin went back and said that to the ice sculpting circle, not only did they quarrel on the Internet, but also the chairman of the ice sculpting circle directly asked him for Steamed Bun Ji in reality.
In Zhou Shijie's opinion, it was all Yang Shuxin's fault for having such a big mouth. You lost the competition, so be it. Why did you keep talking about it everywhere and even tried to take Steamed Bun Ji away?
Hearing Zhou Shijie's complaint, Zhong Lili didn't know what to say. She just smiled. When she lowered her head, she happened to see the documents in her arms and immediately handed them to him.
"Chairman, here are some documents for you to read. Please call me when you finish reading them." Zhong Lili put down the documents and prepared to leave.
"Peng", a muffled sound emitted when the documents hit the solid wood table. Zhou Shijie lowered his head and found the first document was a letter. The signature clearly stated that it was from the chairman of the ice sculpting circle.
"Damn it. Why didn't I answer this old guy's phone calls? He even wrote me a letter. Really?" When Zhou Shijie saw the letter, he almost immediately pounded the table and stood up.
"Cough cough. Are you all right?" Zhong Lili was startled. She immediately turned her head and asked.
"I'm fine. Throw this letter away." Zhou Shijie directly picked up the letter and threw it to Zhong Lili.
"Okay. Take your time to read the rest." Zhong Lili took the letter and immediately turned around to go out. After that, she closed the door smoothly.
Once Zhong Lili came out, another assistant who was in charge of the microblog affairs at the door said, "Did the chairman get angry again?"
"Yes." Zhong Lili recovered her solemn expression and nodded her head.
"Is it still because of the matter of that Boss Yuan?" The assistant was a little tactless and still asked nosily.
"Um." Zhong Lili nodded her head perfunctorily and then took a look at the assistant sternly.
"Tsk-tsk. This Boss Yuan is really awesome. How long has it been? Our Chef's Alliance hasn't been so lively. The people of the wheaten food industry came and the people of the ice sculpting industry came. It's really like the meat of Tang Seng. Everyone wants to have a bite." The assistant didn't feel anything. While looking at the computer, he was still murmuring.
"Alright. Don't talk too much. Just do your own work." Zhong Lili couldn't help reproaching the assistant.
"Okay. I'll do it right away." Only then did the assistant realize that Zhong Lili didn't look good. Immediately, he sat down and started to do his own work.
Zhong Lili dismissed the assistant who was in charge of the microblog and sat in her own seat. Only after she let out a breath did she feel relaxed.
However, when she saw the documents on the table, she became a little worried. It was known that the Chef's Alliance wasn't so tired before.
"I really don't know how Yuan Zhou practiced these skills at such a young age." Looking at a pile of documents about Yuan Zhou, Zhong Lili couldn't help sighing with emotion.
Many of these documents were about inviting Yuan Zhou, whether it was for competitions, interviews or programs.
After all, the identity that Yuan Zhou was most recognized by people was still a chef. Therefore, if someone wanted to invite him, he would naturally send the invitation letter to the Chef's Alliance.
Zhou Shijie had already made an agreement with Yuan Zhou on these matters. After the Chef's Alliance made an announcement to the public, they would help to take care of these chores for Yuan Zhou. Now, except for some people who didn't know or those who were very persistent, basically no one would go to Yuan Zhou face to face.
Zhou Shijie had personally instructed that no one should disturb Yuan Zhou for trivial matters.
