“Chu, you have to help me today with the invitation letter.” As soon as August got into the car, he began to turn his head to Chu Xiao who was beside him.
“I can’t guarantee the rest, but I can take you to President Zhou’s office now, and you can talk about the invitation letter face to face.” Chu Xiao spread his hands and looked helpless.
“Hey, this is really strange. You know that there were too many invitations for this kind of cooking exhibition in the past. Now it’s better to ask me to come by myself.” August said helplessly.
“No way, there are too many people coming this time. I heard that some dignitaries are inquiring about this matter and preparing to come.” Chu Xiao said.
“Furthermore, this is also the first time Yuanzhou has held a personal cooking exhibition.” Chu Xiao continued.
“Although I haven’t seen it before, your videos have left a deep impression on me. I’m looking forward to participating and watching Yuan’s sword skills.” August said excitedly.
“But you don’t have an invitation letter yet.” Chu Xiao said mercilessly.
“Chu, you must know that we are still friends, you can’t poke at my wound like this.” Auguste glanced at Chu Xiao angrily. Although he was in his sixties, his mentality was still very young.
“Okay.” Chu Xiao shrugged, then stopped talking.
Yes, Chu Xiao and August were discussing the invitation letter for this Yuanzhou personal cooking exhibition. It is said that such an invitation letter can be delivered to August with a high status and seniority. It is a very dignified thing in the hands of famous overseas famous chefs.
But unfortunately, August didn’t really have one.
The reason is very simple. After Zhou Shijie fully represented Yuanzhou in this personal cooking exhibition, he began to plan a series of things such as publicity.
After the publicity was in place, many people first came to ask for the invitation letter. First, some of the big names in the domestic culinary industry were the fastest.
If Zhou Shijie hadn’t said that there were 50 left for overseas chefs, these people would have been able to grab all the 200 invitations.
After all, there are only eight famous cuisines in China. There are also some famous chefs who are not classified into the eight major cuisines, such as Ke Lin and Liu Xi and Liu Jian. These people did not have the opportunity to participate in Yuanzhou last time. After the tea, wine, and snacks held, he started to stare at Zhou Shijie, and the speed can be imagined.
He is the master of Huaiyang cuisine, and Hang Tian, the inheritor of intangible cultural heritage, has only one invitation in his hand.
So, of the 150 invitations, Zhou Shijie only secretly left two for his two beloved disciples, Liu Tong and Li Minghui, and the rest were all taken away by those people.
As for the rest of the apprentices, if it wasn’t for Zhou Shijie’s own invitations already prepared, maybe even his own would have been taken away. Even those who have invitations are still asking if they can bring their apprentices to participate. Woolen cloth.
There are 150 copies in China, not to mention 50 copies overseas. Overseas Yuanzhou has been to Thailand, Japan, and France.
Because of the relationship between Dean and Gabriel, the three-star celebrity chefs, overseas invitations were quickly sold out even if the information was delayed.
For example, several invitations from France were grabbed by Gabriel, Dean, and Mr. Alfrea, the second child of ten thousand years, because people grabbed the invitations at the first time in Huaxia cuisine.
And the rest is rather peculiar. These invitations were snatched by some dignitaries who participated in the Asia-Pacific exchange meeting last time. Yes, those are dignitaries. They came to ask Zhou Shijie in person. Naturally, they could not refuse, they could only give out one.
As a result, the invitations distributed overseas also disappeared.
The rest is the venue provider Wu Yungui gave to his friends and partners. The most important thing is Wu Yungui’s chicken thief. He asked Zhou Shijie for eight places very early.
These friends and partners are the kind of people Wu Yungui carefully selected who are busy flying abroad every day without touching their feet, and the kind of people who are the big bosses of foreign partners.
In Wu Yungui’s words, only in this way can one experience the essence and deliciousness of Yuanzhou cuisine.
So, in addition to the one that Wu Yungui left behind, all the remaining seven were given to these people.
Under such circumstances, August, who was sitting on the Diaoyutai Station thinking that he would receive the invitation, naturally hadn’t received it until two days before the start of the cooking show.
In the end, it was he who personally called Chu Xiao only to find out that no one had sent him an invitation at all, so he hurriedly booked a flight ticket to come directly to Huaxia with Chu Xiao, and was going to ask Zhou Shijie for an invitation in person.
“You must know that this invitation letter is all sent to the inviter, and it will be gone before it is sent.” August couldn’t help but complain again.
“No way, because this is his personal cooking exhibition.” Chu Xiao said.
“Okay, understandable, but I should also send an invitation letter to me. After all, although I am retired, I can still cook.” Auguste muttered.
Chu Xiao felt helpless and a little proud when he saw Auguste like this. Once upon a time, how could these French people with eyes above the top come to Huaxia in person for an invitation letter, but now he has done it, and Yuan The state did too.
“As expected of my opponent.” Chu Xiao thought to himself.
Chu Xiao took August on the way to Zhou Shijie’s office. On the other side, there were people who were sitting on the Diaoyutai like August two days ago, but now they are anxious.
This person is none other than Iemoto Fujiwara, who claims to know Chinese cuisine better than Chinese people.
Yes, Iamoto Fujiwara didn’t receive an invitation either, but Xiujie Dashi, who thought he could surpass Yuanzhou in the future, did.
This is not surprising. After all, Dashi Xiujie has returned to Japan since the Asia-Pacific exchange meeting, but his eyes are on Yuanzhou’s cooking every day. When he came, he came to visit Zhou Shijie in person, and then got the invitation letter.
But Iemoto Fujiwara is different~IndoMTL.com~ He is a man named Iemoto in Japan. He goes there regardless of his status. He usually attends state banquets at the first level. I care about Yuan Zhou very much, but I can’t stare at people like Dashi Xiujie every day.
When he knew that Yuanzhou was going to hold a personal cooking exhibition, he took it for granted that Zhou Shijie would send the invitation letter to him in person.
But it hasn’t happened until now. After inquiring from side to side, he found that Zhou Shijie didn’t send an invitation letter at all, and it was only then that he became puzzled.
“Baga, Zhou Jun, the president, is so incapable of handling affairs that he didn’t have an invitation letter from me.” Iemoto Fujiwara sat in his study, put down the phone in his hand, and couldn’t help but swear.
“I don’t have Oishi-san, but I don’t have it.” When Fujiwara said this, he completely forgot about the difficult process that Oishi Xiujie said about how he got it.
“No, I have to ask Zhou Jun myself.” Fujiwara Kamoto took a deep breath, then picked up the phone and continued to call.
This time he called Zhou Shijie directly.
