Many of the documents were brought back by the winner as a benefit for the champion. They asked the winner to negotiate with the country on this matter. The Conference Organizing Committee did not care about it. Their purpose was to cultivate the conduct of the top chefs.
These agreements were just agreements now. To fully implement them, they had to take one step at a time. That was why the Huaxia Ministry of Foreign Trade was so anxious. As soon as they received the news, they immediately looked for Zhou Shijie for a recommendation.
As for Zhou Shijie, he knew that Yuan Zhou would open his restaurant today. Therefore, he directly called Yuan Zhou and asked him to set the meeting time after the breakfast time.
It wouldn’t delay Yuan Zhou’s opening of the restaurant and would also allow Yuan Zhou to take a short rest in the afternoon. The morning was a short time. Based on Zhou Shijie’s understanding of Yuan Zhou, he wouldn’t take a rest.
This could be considered as killing two birds with one stone.
Zhou Shijie didn’t want to waste too much of Yuan Zhou’s time, so he brought his friends here right on time. They arrived just when Yuan Zhou came down from the bathroom after taking a bath. It could be said that they had a tacit understanding.
There were a total of three people from the government who came here this time. They were quite respectful to Yuan Zhou. People who fought for glory for the country would be respected wherever they went, not to mention that Yuan Zhou’s current position in China was absolutely the number one person. In the past, some people might not be convinced, of course, not by Yuan Zhou’s strength, but simply because they felt that Yuan Zhou was too young to take on great responsibilities.
Many people had the mentality of saying that grapes were sour when they couldn’t eat them, but as long as the results of Akara’s meeting were spread out, such people would no longer exist. If they still had any opinions by then, it would be that they were not stupid.
“Head chef Yuan, I’ve heard so much about you. You’re indeed a young hero. It’s my honor to meet you.” The Head of the Department, director li, reached out his hands to shake Yuan Zhou’s hands with a very kind attitude.
Yuan Zhou had met the official representatives quite a few times and was able to deal with them calmly. Therefore, he also extended his hands to shake hands and said modestly.
Of course, Yuan Zhou’s modesty was different from others. He really thought so. Therefore, the conversation was naturally very enjoyable.
After sending off director li and the others, it was almost time to prepare the ingredients for lunch. Although there weren’t any ordered dishes today, there were still quite a lot of dishes that needed to be prepared. Especially as Yuan Zhou knew more and more cuisines, there were more and more varieties. Naturally, more and more dishes needed to be prepared in advance.
As for director li and the others who didn’t leave at all but intended to line up for the meal after they went out, they were very unremarkable. This was the usual practice. If there was no one who came to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant and left without a meal, it was definitely an urgent matter and they couldn’t stay.
According to the usual practice, the first meal after Yuan Zhou came back from his vacation was always very lively, comparable to the time when the restaurant held an event.
Whether it was for breakfast or dinner, there was a lot of traffic. The two subordinates who came with Minister li were stunned. It was common for them to line up for food, but they had never seen someone manage the traffic so well on their own. They had been in this position for more than 30 years, and this was definitely the first time.
Not until he handed over the sober-up set meal to Mao Ye did Yuan Zhou finally have some free time. He first called Yin ya for a while and then the rest of the time was his.
“The mission of the heart of the chef can be done now. Speaking of which, I have some other ideas after this meeting.” Yuan Zhou was sitting on the stone bench in the backyard.
It was already September. The weather in Chengdu was still relatively hot. It wasn’t as dry and dry as in summer. It was just much warmer than in winter.
While enjoying the cool breeze and the tea he made, Yuan Zhou started to summarize the gains from Akara’s meeting.
During the meeting, Yuan Zhou was cooking seriously. However, the food tasting and the chat with tiel still gave him a lot of inspiration.
The top chefs from more than 50 countries not only had excellent cooking skills, but also the cuisines of their countries gave Yuan Zhou a feeling of a Hundred Flowers blooming. It was also the first time for Yuan Zhou to see so many different cuisines from different countries put together. It was too much for his eyes to take in and also really broadened his horizons.
“I don’t know many cuisines yet, and I’m still far away from the heart of a chef. What I need to do now is to make up for my shortcomings and integrate all the cuisines. I can’t wait for the system to give me a reward. I should take the initiative to attack.”
As for how to complete the mission, Yuan Zhou already had an idea in his heart. In the past, Yuan Zhou had also been serious and active in completing the mission. However, he had no idea how to trigger the mission. After all, the system was quite emotional and often did things as it wished.
As the mission was completed, he received more and more rewards. As a result, Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills also improved steadily. Not to mention other things, for many cuisines that had not received the reward, Yuan Zhou’s proficiency in some of them was no less than the cuisines on the menu.
The only difference between them was that one was on the menu, while the other was not. For example, Zhejiang cuisine, Beijing cuisine, Jin cuisine, and so on.
Among them, there were some dishes that were similar to other cuisines that Yuan Zhou could quickly grasp by analogy. There were also some dishes that he specially learned and mastered because of some of the dishes. For example, the northeastern dishes were specially learned by Yuan Zhou after he obtained the top part of the ethnic cuisines.
Although the purpose of learning was different, Yuan Zhou’s enthusiasm was the same when he started learning. They were all very upright and serious. Naturally, the results he obtained were also very good. Especially with Yuan Zhou’s current strength, he could get twice the result with half the effort.
However, time was limited, after all. There were as many cuisines in China as there were stars in the sky, each with their own differences. Even if Yuan Zhou had 28 hours a day, it was still not enough. Therefore, Yuan Zhou had mastered more than half of the cuisines in China, but still had a small part that he had not mastered.
Yuan Zhou had the intention to strengthen his study in this aspect. Apart from the time he spent on practicing his knife skills, he spent the rest of the time on learning the cuisines of various places. Of course, this was definitely done in secret. Otherwise, Zhou Shijie would probably lose his hair in the end.
That was all because he was too surprised.
As time went by, apart from studying the cuisines of various places, he also began to study the Asian cuisines after he finished studying the Chinese cuisines. With the previous master chef mission as a Foundation, it was also particularly easy for Yuan Zhou to learn them. He was able to obtain extremely strong results in a very short time.
In order to learn these cuisines well and ensure that they could be on par with the cuisines that were previously rewarded without the system’s reward and without standing on the shoulders of many Giants, Yuan Zhou had to spend quite a lot of effort.
What was visible to the naked eye was that Yuan Zhou would take a day or two off from time to time to explore the local area. Of course, he would only do that when he was particularly hard to grasp some local dishes.
However, since Yuan Zhou kept his word and treated them for a few days, it was understandable for the customers to feel disappointed. After all, the boss was the one who could make the most delicious food.
The days passed by little by little while Yuan Zhou was busy. After he finished studying in Asia, he began to study in Europe. With Akara’s meeting as a good start, he didn’t have to spend much effort in studying.
