It is an exchange. Since the official start, the four of us have sat around a table, and everything you say and I say is related to the cuisine of the three provinces.
From the origin of the ingredients to the specific knife skills that need to be combined with which dishes can be the best, to the discussion on the taste of the dishes, the four of them did not stop discussing for two and a half hours.
And these were faithfully recorded by the young man’s camera.
This kind of video may seem a bit boring to the layman, but in the eyes of the chef, it is a very rare and precious experience summary, after all, people who like to teach people are people who are half buckets of water.
When the time came, the four of them were still a little unfinished, but they all knew that they could not disturb Yuanzhou’s opening of the store at night, so they all said goodbye and left.
Of course, before leaving, Liu Xi and Liu Jian did not forget to let Zhang Yan remember to copy the video.
Zhang Yan agreed very perfunctorily, and then said goodbye to Yuan Zhou, he completely forgot that he was going to ask two things when he came.
Yuanzhou also remembered what Zhang Yan started to ask after watching Zhang Yan walk away: “Speaking of which, President Zhang seems to have just asked about Huanghualimu, do you want to remind me?”
Crazy testing on the brink of death.
“Forget it or not.”
After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou shook his head slightly, then turned around and went back to his shop to start preparing the ingredients for dinner. Of course, he had to wash up again before starting to prepare.
Yuanzhou is busy, and there are people on the other side who are very busy with the opening of the new store.
This person is Zhou Shijie’s favorite, the most talented, and the youngest disciple Liu Tong. He has now opened his own gourmet club and now it’s time for the final opening.
No, Liu Tong is sitting in the main seat of the conference room, putting away the menu he has just drawn up.
The other seats in the conference room were also filled with most of them. These people were all managers of the clubhouse and were preparing for the opening.
“We have already prepared the candidates for Chef Liu’s opening and tailoring, which is below this document.” A middle-aged man near Liu Tong pushed his glasses and said.
“Yes, chef, let’s see how many people we invite.” The young woman opposite the middle-aged man nodded in agreement.
One of the two is the head chef and the other is the lobby manager, both of whom were hired by Liu Tong himself, and Liu Tong asked for that name.
This restaurant was opened by Liu Tong himself, and the name is very confident. It is called Liu Tong Food Hall.
He doesn’t like being called the boss, he wanted to be called the owner of the restaurant, but he was disliked by Zhou Shijie, so he called him the chef directly.
“Pop” Liu Tong closed the folder for the loading menu, but did not open the list of ribbon-cutters below.
Liu Tong’s youthful face has faded from the arrogance he once had and has become calmer. Of course, the confidence on his face has not changed.
“You said that in Rongcheng, who has the best cooking skills now?” Liu Tong asked.
“Of course it’s Chef Liu, your master, Mr. Chairman Zhou.” The head chef said immediately.
“That’s right, but Chef Liu, your craftsmanship is only inferior to that of the president.” The young lobby manager said directly and sincerely.
“Yes, it is.”
“Chef Liu’s cooking is the best.”
A few people echoed a few words. Liu Tong smiled and said nothing. After everyone stopped, he said: “No, there are many people who are very good at cooking.”
As soon as the conference room was quiet, everyone did not brag about it without thinking, but quietly waited for Liu Tong’s next words.
“Since it’s my Liu Tongkai, it’s best to invite him.” Liu Tong said loudly.
“But didn’t you say that Chairman Zhou would not participate in such a ceremony?” asked the middle-aged man, the head chef of the kitchen, in confusion.
“Yes, of course my master will not participate.” Liu Tong nodded.
“Then are you going to cut by yourself? Actually, that’s enough. After all, Chef Liu’s cooking skills are top-notch.” The lobby manager responded very quickly.
“No, the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan may have different opinions about the top culinary skills, a hundred dishes and a hundred flavors, but there is no controversy to say that the culinary world is the most famous now.” Liu Tong shook his head and said.
“Chef Liu is talking about Yuanzhou?” The people in the conference room reacted at once.
Apart from Liu Tong and the other chef in the conference room, who are from the chef industry, no one else is, but they were able to name Yuan Zhou right away, so one can imagine how famous Yuan Zhou is.
“Yes, that’s him.” Liu Tong nodded.
But Liu Tongtong nodded, and the conference room, which was supposed to be noisy, suddenly fell silent.
They know that Yuanzhou naturally knows the reason why he has never stood up for others. How difficult it is for Yuanzhou to hire is similar to his reputation as a chef.
I knew earlier that a hotel had opened, and offered 5 million yuan to invite Yuanzhou to go to the platform to cut the ribbon, but Yuanzhou refused directly, without even considering it.
People in the conference room felt that the difficulty of inviting Yuan Zhou was the same as that of inviting Zhou Shijie, or even more difficult.
Yes, it stands to reason that Liu Tong, as Zhou Shijie’s beloved apprentice, should come as a master when he opened a new shop, but Zhou Shijie couldn’t come.
Don’t talk about Liu Tong, even when Li Minghui, a big apprentice, opened a shop, Zhou Shijie didn’t go there either.
There is no other reason, just because Zhou Shijie is not only their master, but also the president of the Huaxia Chefs Union, which is a public office.
As long as he has not left his post, he will not be able to attend such public gatherings of his apprentices, relatives, and friends. Zhou Shijie himself set the rules for himself.
According to Zhou Shijie, public officials must not hold themselves to the minimum standard of the law.
Liu Tong naturally knew this, so he only told Zhou Shijie his opening time and did not invite Zhou Shijie at all.
“But the chef, Boss Yuan heard that it’s not easy to invite him.” The lobby manager reminded cautiously.
“I know ~IndoMTL.com~ I will personally invite you.” Liu Tong said to himself.
The lobby manager choked and complained in his heart: “Whoever invited Boss Yuan didn’t come to the door in person, and he didn’t succeed either.”
Although the lobby manager and others did not say it clearly, Liu Tong obviously found everyone’s doubts.
Liu Tong said directly: “Don’t think about it, I don’t have a special invitation posture, just because I am President Zhou’s apprentice.”
Liu Tong said this very proudly. Of course, this is indeed something to be proud of.
“You only know that Boss Yuan is difficult to hire, but you don’t know that Boss Yuan is a very pure person. He has a very close relationship with my master. Strictly speaking, he is half a brother, so my chance of success is very high.” Liu Tong said seriously.
With that said, everyone sitting here wants to understand.
It’s not that it will come. The ribbon-cutting platform says that it is big and small, and Zhou Shijie and Yuanzhou have an excellent relationship. This is known to many people.
“Tomorrow I will go directly to invite him, there is nothing left to explain, prepare well, the opening time is approaching, the meeting will end.” Liu Tong said.
Liu Tong said that he would leave immediately after the meeting was over. At this time, everyone in the conference room also stood up and said goodbye.
After a while, the huge conference room was empty.
“That’s a good idea, I’m really smart, who can cut the ribbon with Boss Yuan’s cards.” Liu Tong secretly said.
Speaking of which, Liu Tong and Yuan Zhou are about the same grade, but the difference between the two… um, it’s easy to cause discomfort if you talk too much.
Anyway, President Zhou whispers in the ears of his apprentices every day, “If only you had half of Xiao Yuan’s talent”, “You can’t be a little perfunctory about cooking, otherwise the dishes will also perfunctory you” and so on.
Zhou Shijie asked all his apprentices to target Yuanzhou.
“Although I can’t catch up for the time being, I have taken the first step now. With more time, the distance will definitely be closer!” Liu Tong thought confidently.
