Chapter 1617

Wu Hai was the next to be mentioned. Wu Shou, who had just been confessed to, was arranging his Art Gallery. Zheng Jiawei had already bought it and decorated it according to Wu Hai’s requirements.

There was also an interesting story about the Wu beast. Although the Wu beast was very afraid of Wu Lin, Wu Lin’s name was added to the house and the gallery that Wu Hai bought besides his own name.

The imagination of all artists was different from others, and Wu Hai’s brain circuit was even more different.

Other art galleries had paintings on one side of the long corridor, or in the form of an exhibition hall, and paintings on all four sides. Even if there was something different, it was just a doorway, a transparent wall, or a panoramic view.

Looking at Wu Hai’s gallery, the warehouse had been rebuilt into an Orchard, with lemon trees, watermelons, bitter gourds, and chilies planted in it. There was even a small Salt Mountain in the innermost area.

In Wu Hai’s words,”there are five tastes in life: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. Art is also among the five tastes.”

God knows how much follow-up work Zheng Jiawei had done to ensure that this “Orchard” would not affect the painting.

In general, the gallery had two doors, the left side door and the main door. At the main door, there was a stone wall without words. This was another eye-catching part of the gallery besides the “Orchard” background.

As mentioned before, Wu Hai’s paintings were only auctioned two or three a year. Take this year as an example, only “the most expensive pair of hands” was released.

All the other works were kept for himself. For example, the work that Wu Hai was most satisfied with recently was the “monster eating picture”. It was a treat from Ling Hong. After having two dinners, Wu Hai drew it with extreme excitement.

None of these works had ever appeared outside. Now, more than 40 paintings were hanging quietly. As a die-hard fan, Zhou Xi was even more dazzled and his eyes almost popped out.

“Masterpiece, it’s definitely a masterpiece. The shadow arrangement of this eating picture is comparable to’ immeasurably’s dinner ‘.” Zhou Xi was so excited that his fingers were trembling.

Zhou Xi asked,”during dinner, the background was extremely dim and blurry, even like a black hole. It formed the most distinct contrast with Jesus, who was glowing with golden light in the center. The darkness set off the divinity. In the eating picture, the colorful table with large pens supported the wildness of this dark monster.” This contrast is really like marksman’s dinner. Eaves Wu, do you want to pay your respects to master Rembrandt?”

This evaluation was quite professional. Zhou Xi could really be said to be familiar with the artists of the golden age.

The monster eating picture was actually a drawing of an eight-legged monster. It was pitch-black and sat on the table, devouring the food on the plate.

“I didn’t want to pay tribute to anyone. When I was painting, I felt that it should be drawn like this.” In contrast, Wu Hai’s answer was calmer.

Zhou Xi was deeply aware of Wu Hai’s power. He could easily reach the level of a master in the golden age.

Zhou Xi estimated that it would take him a day to finish looking at all of the more than 40 paintings. Therefore, he withdrew his gaze first as he still had important things to do.

“Eaves Wu, have you thought of the name of this gallery?” Zhou Xi asked with concern.

“I’ve decided. I’ll call it painting God’s hut. ” Wu Hai answered conveniently.

“Uh …” Zhou Xi was dumbfounded. As a hardcore fan, he naturally felt that Wu Hai was the number one in the painting world today. However, the title of painting God was really too big.

“This name … Isn’t it a little bad?” Zhou Xi said tactfully, it will cause a big criticism.

“What’s not good about it? Compass’s restaurant is called master chef Restaurant. If you want to stand at the top of the industry, you have to be afraid of big waves or even change the name for fear of a little criticism, then what’s the point of it?”

When Wu Hai said that, he was rarely serious,””Besides, I’m the first. If you’re not convinced, come to me. Just use the painting to talk. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“No wonder you’re eaves Wu, you have the spirit to look down on the world.” Zhou Xi muttered to himself. At the same time, he finally understood why his idol had such a good relationship with boss Yuan.

It turned out that the two of them both had the domineering aura of an Overlord that looked down on the world! Zhou Xi, a child in his imagination, thought this way.

“Speaking of which, Taoxi road in Chengdu is really awesome. I’m sure boss Yuan’s master chef Restaurant and eaves Wu’s painting God’s cottage are here.”

In fact, Zhou Xi was right. A few years later, the world-famous double gods District, which foreigners called “Dr. Tric.of. St. Dual”, would bring unexpected benefits to Chengdu.

After a long time, Zhou Xi asked again,’when will the Art Gallery open? Did you invite a curtain-breaker?”

The opening of a new shop would be held on a grand scale, not to mention an Art Gallery. Generally speaking, they would invite people in the circle, not to mention eaves Wu’s art exhibition, which was even more lively.

Ever since the news that Wu Hai was going to open a gallery was released, it was imaginable how much of a sensation it caused in the art Circle. Zheng Jiawei had already received numerous phone calls.

There were also many famous artists in the painting world who called Wu Hai and crazily hinted that they wanted to be the one who lifted the curtain.

“Oh, I’ve already hired a curtain-breaker,” Wu Hai answered in the same way. Then, he hung up the phone with a plop.

The people who called Wu Hai included a group of Modern Art Masters Italy, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands and so on. After receiving Wu Hai’s reply, they began to inquire in the circle who was the one who lifted the curtain.

“I don’t know when it’ll open, but Wei said he’d set a good date, but I know the exact time. It’s at 3 pm.” Wu Hai said.

Zhou Xi felt that he couldn’t keep up with his idol’s thoughts. He knew the specific time but didn’t know the approximate time.

When a gallery was opened, there would always be a masterpiece, and the person who lifted the red curtain of this work was called the curtain opener.

Generally speaking, there was a relationship between the curtain-breaker and the artist. This rule had been in place for a long time, and it was used by the European art community to promote the younger generation.

When this junior became famous, the curtain-breaker would also be given the reputation of having a good eye for talent.

Wu Hai’s potential was widely acknowledged. Therefore, this group of people wanted to take advantage of him. Of course, the Masters of the older generation appreciated him.

After searching for a while, he still couldn’t find out who the culprit was, thus it became a mystery.

“Then, eaves Wu, I’ll go and check if we’re selling barbecue tonight.” Zhou Xi was ready to go out.

Wu Hai gave him a “quickly go and quickly come back” look. Zhou Xi immediately felt full of energy and ran to Yuan Zhou’s restaurant in a hurry.

At the entrance, he even greeted a few security guards.

It was no exaggeration to say that if the gallery was robbed, the amount of money involved would definitely be a big case that would shake the world.

Therefore, both the local government and Zheng Jiawei had arranged sufficient security.

It didn’t rain at dinnertime, but at the end of dinnertime, the sky began to rain. It might be because they wanted to smell Yuan Zhou’s barbecue smell even at night.

It was a drizzling day, and there was a barbecue tonight.

As long as there was a barbeque, Wang Hong would definitely come. After all, he was a loyal fan of the barbeque chicken wings.

“Hahaha, I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. My dream has finally come true.” Wang Hong was touched.

After all, in this season of Chengdu, there was very little rain. If it didn’t rain at night, it meant that it was a pub.

“Fang Heng, what are you doing here? we’re having a barbecue today, not a pub.” Wang Hong looked at Fang Heng.

One should know that Fang Heng had been showing off a lot before. The angry Wang Hong had even written Fang Heng as the big boss behind his new book.

That’s right, Wang Hong had started another book. It was a wuxia novel called evil extermination. In the novel, there was a demoness named Fang Heng from the heavenly demon sect. Please note that she was a demoness.

In the book, she loved to drink and kill people. She was cunning and loved to mock people. She had almost killed the protagonist many times.

The exciting part was here. Wang Hong’s book had actually become popular. During the downturn of the wuxia market, it had sold 50000 copies.

Attention, attention, the 50000 copies here are all real.

There were also news agencies that rated Fang Heng as the most successful female character in the past 20 years.

“Go to the side.” Fang Heng didn’t have time to pay attention to Wang Hong. He rushed in to find Yuan Zhou.

“A pitiful worm who can’t drink wine, hahaha.” Wang Hong wanted to show off.

The space of the restaurant was only so big. Therefore, Fang Heng could see boss Yuan preparing the ingredients for the BBQ at a glance.

Bamboo Shrimp, conch meat, and abalone were three barbecue ingredients that he had never seen before.

“Wow. Boss Yuan, this is the new BBQ dish.” Fang Heng asked subconsciously.

“Yes, it’s the new Seafood Series.” Yuan Zhou answered and waited for Fang Heng’s next words. Normally, customers wouldn’t disturb him when he was preparing the ingredients unless it was something very important.

“Then I have to eat a wave of it too. Uh … No, no.” Fang Heng replied subconsciously and then reacted.

“Boss Yuan, do you have time after the BBQ? I have something to discuss with you,” said Fang Heng after he came back to his senses.

“Of course, if I don’t have time, I will come back to find boss Yuan at another time.” Fang Heng added.

“I’ll be free after supper. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“Okay. Then I won’t disturb boss Yuan anymore.” Fang Heng retreated immediately after asking.

Yuan Zhou lowered his head and continued to prepare the ingredients.

The foodies outside couldn’t wait any longer. Just as they were about to flip the ground, the BBQ business hours finally arrived.

The barbeque rack and the ingredients were set up …

“Eh? Don’t you have chicken wings?” Wang Hong asked.

“Not today,” Yuan Zhou answered affirmatively.

“You speak as if you’ll be able to eat chicken wings.” Fang Heng immediately ridiculed him.

In fact, what Fang Heng said was true. Yuan Zhou always sold the kebabs by serving and never ordered a single dish.

Therefore, whether one could eat it depended on speed and luck.

Therefore, Wang Hong muttered “the witch of the heavenly demon sect” in his mind and then ordered directly, ignoring Fang Heng’s ridicule.

Fortunately, there was a new dish, roasted abalone, in the barbeque that Wang Hong ordered.

“Since there’s no chicken wings, I’ll eat the new dish first.” As he said that, Wang Hong directly aimed his chopsticks at one of the two abalones on the plate.

The abalone had been chopped into a diamond-shaped flower knife, and the fresh and tender meat of the abalone could be seen at a glance.

“This abalone is quite small, so it must be very tender. However, the taste of such a small abalone shouldn’t be good.” Wang Hong thought.

Even though he was thinking this, his hands were not slow. He directly picked up the abalone meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

The abalone wasn’t roasted with garlic, but with salt.

Therefore, the moment the abalone entered his mouth, there was a kind of burnt texture. However, once he bit it open, the small abalone directly exploded in his mouth with a rich and delicious soup.

“Oh, it’s too fresh,” Wang Hong couldn’t help but ask.

That’s right, the abalone in his mouth burst out with the unique fresh taste of seafood once he bit it.

The meat of the abalones was extremely tender because they were grilled, but they were very tough to eat due to the rich colloid. The meat juice that was smothered was completely absorbed into the abalones, and the juice burst out with every bite. It was extremely delicious.

In addition, since it was seafood, the slight saltiness of the abalone was the finishing touch.

“Delicious!” Wang Hong squinted his eyes. To him, this was a delicacy second only to the grilled wings.

“You’re so silly. Why can’t I learn? I actually doubt boss Yuan’s food has any meaty taste. I must have been so angry with that demoness of the heavenly demon sect that my brain has gone haywire. ” Wang Hong muttered to himself.

The rest of the people who had eaten abalone also had the same expression.

On the other hand, Yuan Zhou was much calmer. After all, he had read the introduction of the system. Well, he thought that he had eaten more than a dozen roasted abalones before.

In the afternoon, the system provided the environment for the abalones to grow.

The system displayed,”the abalones of the system are taken from the areas that naturally grow in the region known as the end of the world.”

“The location is the latitude most suitable for the growth of abalones, which is 40° south and 44° North. The sea there is cold but highly salty. There are also many reefs and they are Leeward.”

“Because it feeds on unpolluted, natural seaweed at the bottom of the sea, and the cold sea water also slows its growth, it needs five years to grow before it can be sold.”

“Three taels of silver in five years, that’s indeed slow.” Yuan Zhou said expressionlessly.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou had long been used to the fact that the ingredients of the system were more refined than his. Therefore, he was just grumbling.

Therefore, when he saw the customers praising the deliciousness of the abalones one after another, Yuan Zhou indicated that it was a basic idea.

His friends livened up the atmosphere. Fang Heng and Wang Hong, who were high from eating, took a box of music forts beside them.

To be honest, at night on Taoxi road, when it was raining, you could drink any beer you wanted.

After the supper, Yuan Zhou finished cleaning up and Fang Heng went to find him.

Although he looked so solemn, it was actually nothing serious. It was just that Fang Heng often drank Yuan Zhou’s bamboo liquor and if he didn’t have enough, he would play with it at home.

She didn’t expect him to really come up with it. You really should never underestimate the mobility of three types of people: Drunkard, foodie, and shopping woman.

Although the taste wasn’t as good as the bamboo liquor sold by Yuan Zhou, it was still better than the liquor sold by his family. Therefore, Fang Heng prepared to sell it as the owner of the winery.

However, there was a premise. Fang Heng believed that his bamboo liquor was a little plagiarized from Yuan Zhou ‘s. That was why they had this conversation.

“It’s your own ability that you can figure it out. ” Yuan Zhou answered.

The huge stone in Fang Heng’s heart was finally lifted and he left in a hurry. After all, it was getting late.

After closing the door, Yuan Zhou washed up and went back to the second floor.

Just as he was about to go to bed, he saw the ancient books that Huang Fei, Wang Qiang, and the others had sent over. They were placed neatly on the table.

“Speaking of which, do I still have a mission that I haven’t completed?” While preparing to take a rest, Yuan Zhou suddenly thought of that.

He still had a mission to collect the ancient recipe of a chef. Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou suddenly had a new idea.

“System, the mission said to collect, but it didn’t say that it must be the original, right?” Yuan Zhou said,”it suddenly occurred to me that I’m also the director of the chef branch of the ancient books restoration Association. I’m really sorry about that. Hahaha.”

As a Branch Director, although he couldn’t take the ancient recipe from the Association for himself, it was definitely not a problem to scan a few parts and make an electronic version.

The system displayed,[the task has been changed. Please check it again.]

“What?” Yuan Zhou read it in silence and the mission list appeared in his mind.

[Please collect 10 ancient recipes](incomplete)

[Mission progress] 7/10

(Progress tips: only the original taste can reflect the identity of the host, so work hard to collect the original of the ancient recipe.)

[Mission reward] the inventor’s manuscript of 12 ancient recipes (not released)

(Reward tips: same as the previous description.)

“Changing the mission at the last minute, system, you’ve really learned the bad stuff.” “But seeing that the mission reward has been improved, I won’t say anything more,” said Yuan Zhou.

“Also, the reward description is too perfunctory.”

Yuan Zhou ridiculed the system twice in a row while the system remained silent. Sometimes, the system was really quite obedient.

There were still three more dishes to go. In fact, he was very close to the target. Strictly speaking, the reward was really good. For Yuan Zhou’s current culinary skills, it was very difficult to make a substantial improvement unless he obtained an entire cuisine.

After all, his culinary skills had already reached the peak.

Of course, su cuisine had just been put on the menu, so it would be a little too fast to add another dish. Besides, the system had not issued such a task.

Therefore, it was the best and fastest way to obtain the experience of ancient chefs and then verify it with each other.

The reward for this mission was the experience points of the creator of the ancient recipe.

With the addition of the unopened knife skill collection gift bag, his cooking skills could be improved slightly.

This improvement didn’t mean anything. In the past, his knife skills had been raised from 10 to 11. Knife skills, spoon tossing, and cooking skills all needed time to accumulate.

By verifying a master’s experience, he might learn a new little technique, or a new understanding of a new kind of seasoning.

For example, the four people of Liao Yue’s group had a new understanding of knife skills after watching the crossing of three beasts used by Yuan Zhou.

In short, the ancient recipe mission was worth completing.

After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou first hung a message on the website that sold second-hand books,”looking for the ancient recipe of a chef at a high price.”

After that, Yuan Zhou called Zhou Shijie.

“Little Yuan, what’s the matter?” Zhou Shijie and Yuan Zhou had always been affable when they talked.

“Uncle Zhou, I want you to help me spread the news that I’m looking for an ancient recipe. If you’re interested in selling it, you can call me.” Yuan Zhou said.

Zhou Shijie said,”little Yuan, if you want to learn these things, there are still many books you can borrow from the chef’s Association. There are also many books in the chef’s branch of the ancient book restoration Association. Little Yuan, it’s not a problem if you want to borrow them.”

“It’s like this. I’ve recently obtained a few ancient books, so I want to collect them myself.” Yuan Zhou said.

“I see. Okay, I know. I’ll ask Lili to spread the news tomorrow. But little Yuan, you have to be mentally prepared. The ancient books and recipes about cooking are very popular. It’s hard to transfer them.” Zhou Shijie said.

“It’s fine, uncle Zhou. It’s good to have it, but it won’t affect me even if it’s not.” Yuan Zhou said.

“That’s good,”Zhou Shijie nodded and said.

The two of them didn’t exchange much pleasantries before they hung up the phone because it was late.

Previously, the reason why Yuan Zhou didn’t ask Zhou Shijie for help was that he didn’t want to trouble Zhou Shijie. After all, the ancient recipes were his private property and it wasn’t good to borrow them for free. However, in order to improve Yuan Zhou’s cultivation, Zhou Shijie was definitely willing to pay a lot to borrow many ancient recipes.

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t want to do that. Now that he said that it was only for the purpose of collecting books, it would only be a borrowing platform and Zhou Shijie didn’t need to spend much effort.

After that, Yuan Zhou directly went to bed.
