Of course, this was dashi xiujie’s feeling. However, Yuan Zhou just cast a glance at him indifferently and then retracted his gaze.
After all, dealing with the reporter in front of him was the most important thing.
“Head chef Yuan, I heard that this is your first time leading a team to participate in such a large-scale exchange meeting. I wonder what are your thoughts?”
When the reporters saw all the people led by Yuan Zhou getting off the car, they all gathered around and asked one after another.
“Head chef Yuan, what kind of dishes have you prepared for the exchange meeting?”
“What is our goal for this exchange? or what is our main message?”
“I wonder if the two twin Stars of Feng city will cooperate this time?”
“Will there be any breakthroughs in dessert?”
“Are the four pastry Masters working together or doing things on their own?”
A series of questions came one after another, but all the eight chefs didn’t answer. Instead, they just looked at Yuan Zhou.
Not until Yuan Zhou nodded slightly did the eight chefs ‘solemn faces slightly ease up. They answered several questions. No matter whether they were in the kitchen or outside, everything was decided by the head chef.
“I’m not nervous. I’m prepared,”said Yuan Zhou straightforwardly.
Yuan Zhou’s words were still as concise and capable as before.
About five minutes later, two more black business cars arrived at the hotel.
These participants were all equipped with the same vehicles of the same model, so the people who got out of the vehicles were naturally participants.
Sure enough, the first team to get out of the first car was the representative team of thai chefs in Thailand costumes.
The leader was a man with brown skin. He was quite tall and handsome with a black beard. As soon as he got out of the car, he nodded at Yuan Zhou, the Chinese representative who looked over. Only then did he give way to the other chefs and let them get off the car.
The people who got out of the black business car next to them were obviously representatives of the Korea chefs. These chefs were not like the long-legged oppas in Korean dramas. Instead, they were all over 30 years old and wore chef’s uniforms. There were tall, short, fat, and thin chefs.
These people also looked very humble. After getting out of the car, they all nodded to the people around them.
Yuan Zhou, on the other hand, remained aloof from the beginning to the end. When someone nodded at him, he would also slightly nod his head to greet them.
Although Yuan Zhou looked to be the youngest head chef in the restaurant, he had a calm temperament and the style of a great master.
This was also seen by the reporters from all sides who were filming behind.
The interview process was very short. It was about everyone asking one question, and then the reporters went to interview others.
Coincidentally, the people led by Yuan Zhou bumped into the Japanese representatives led by dashi xiujie again.
However, just like the order of the two cars, there was a difference of one in front and one in back.
Walking on the red carpet, Yuan Zhou was the first one to walk in front. His steps were steady and not messy at all. At the side, there were also news media that were watching the shooting and reporting the morning news on the spot, explaining quickly.
As Yuan Zhou was the first to enter, the representatives of the Japanese, Korea, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and other places also began to enter the venue.
The chefs all stayed in the hotels around Huaxia hotel, so they had to enter from the outside.
The other politicians who participated in the exchange, including the Thailand royal family, lived directly in the China Hotel, which was also to facilitate the distribution and arrangement of personnel.
After Yuan Zhou and the others entered the restaurant, there was another red carpet leading to the large banquet hall that could accommodate 600 people.
The internal red carpet was smaller, but it was also much quieter. There were fewer reporters surrounding it and constantly asking questions.
As expected of the Asia-Pacific cultural exchange, the scene was really big. It was not an exaggeration to say that the scene of the Sino-Japanese exchange was like a little brother compared to this time.
However, Yuan Zhou kept his back straight and his attitude meticulous from the beginning to the end. He even had a feeling that his imposing manner covered the whole place.
This imposing manner wasn’t an illusion. After all, Yuan Zhou had participated in all kinds of activities ever since he became a Taoist. Wasn’t he the first?
Zhong Lili couldn’t help sighing with emotion,”no wonder Chairman Zhou is so optimistic. He’s so experienced and calm.”
Even the eight chefs behind Yuan Zhou couldn’t help sighing with emotion in their hearts,””Boss Yuan’s culinary skills are really amazing. His imposing manner is so impressive that it can stun everyone.” In any case, they admitted that they could not do it.
With this thought in mind, the group of ten went straight to the banquet hall.
The chefs ‘representatives also needed to go to the banquet hall to attend the opening ceremony before they could leave to prepare for the cooking exchange in the afternoon.
In such a large venue, each chair had their own name pasted on it, and they just had to find the corresponding name according to the pre-assigned area.
Therefore, although the banquet hall was large, it was orderly.
After the official start of the event, the official media of various countries reported on the scene. The leader of the Asia-Pacific Exchange, Mr. He Zhenghong, went on stage to give a speech.
Next was a speech on global economic growth and Asia-Pacific relations.
The opening ceremony didn’t end until 10 O’ clock. During the opening ceremony, there were still speeches from various representatives. Even Yuan Zhou stood up and said a few brief words about cooking skills as an exchange.
This time, Thailand, Korea, Vietnam, and other Asia-Pacific countries all became familiar with this Chinese exchange head chef.
“China’s head chef is really young. ”
“You can’t underestimate him. China has always been cautious in diplomatic matters. Moreover, this young head chef’s eyes are full of confidence.”
“In the last two cultural exchanges, China and Japan won a full house. This time, we must include Thailand.”
When it was the Japanese’s turn to represent dashi xiujie, he spoke very appropriately in the beginning, but in the end, he used standard Chinese,””I’m looking forward to the exchange with Yuan sang.”
On such an occasion, when people heard dashi xiujie’s words, they all turned their eyes to Yuan Zhou. Yuan Zhou nodded his head naturally to show his welcome.
This was just a small interlude. However, dashi xiujie was very famous in the entire Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, they felt that the strength of this young Chinese head chef should be comparable to dashi xiujie.
Equivalent? Well … This was the second time that Yuan Zhou had been criticized badly. Luckily, compass didn’t know about the whispers of these people.
After the exchange meeting ended, when the chefs ‘representatives started to go out of the back door of the banquet hall, Yuan Zhou and his group were stopped by dashi xiujie again.
It wasn’t appropriate to stop him. It should be said that he just happened to bump into him. Of course, this was dashi xiujie’s intention.
It wasn’t that dashi xiujie was stingy. Dashi xiujie was originally an Outstanding Chef among the younger generation of Japan chefs. First, he was convinced by Yuan Zhou’s words of “no problem except that it doesn’t taste good” and even tengyuan Jiayuan was convinced. How could dashi xiujie forget that?
Ever since the anchovy incident, dashi xiujie had been practicing his culinary skills diligently in order to defeat Yuan Zhou and prove himself. And this exchange meeting was not an accident, but the result of dashi xiujie’s hard work after he knew about it.
That’s right. Dashi xiujie had worked hard to defeat his opponent this time and got the position of the head of the Japanese cooking representatives in order to compete with Yuan Zhou.
That was also the reason why he stopped Yuan Zhou.
“Long time no see, Yuan sang.” Dashi xiujie greeted.
“Yeah, long time no see.” Yuan Zhou answered with a nod.
“I wonder if Yuan sang is prepared this time.” Dashi xiujie asked seriously.
“?”Yuan Zhou turned his head and looked at dashi xiujie without saying anything.
“Be prepared to lose to me this time,” dashi xiujie said in a deep voice,””I’m not the same person as I was a year ago. ”
As soon as dashi xiujie’s words came out, the eight chefs representing the Chinese side began to look at dashi xiujie with sympathy.
Well … The grudges between the two Cantonese chefs had been explained by the Sichuan chefs.
“This is a cooking exchange, not a competition. There’s no winning or losing.” Yuan Zhou said indifferently.
“…” Dashi xiujie was speechless for a moment, but he quickly pulled himself together and said,””Although there’s no judgment, I have one in my heart.”
“Oh, then do as you please.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head. Anyway, he couldn’t win against him, so it didn’t matter who made the judgment.
Yuan Zhou left with the others.
Dashi xiujie was so angry that he felt as if he had punched cotton and was wrapped by it. Not only was he unable to breathe, but he also had some internal injuries.
