The full name was ” 17 empty treasure chests with eight slots.” Simply put, there were eight small slots, and each slot could be divided into two slots, 28 and 16. As for why there were still 17 hidden. In the last small cubicle, it was impossible to make it without excellent skills.
Carpenter Lian had once concluded that Yuan Zhou felt it was very reasonable. The skills of a Carpenter lay in “hiding.”
The wood used by Yuan Zhou was not the Hainan scented Rosewood, but the boxwood. To be precise, it was a kind of boxwood.
The reason why he chose the boxwood had a hidden meaning. Li Yu said that the boxwood had the style of a gentleman and was regarded as a ‘gentleman among trees’. In her “leisure time,” it was recorded that “every time a boxwood is an inch old, it doesn’t overflow even a little bit. When it reaches a leap year, it will shrink an inch. It’s the fate of heaven.” Yuan Zhou believed that his master and master had always adhered to the traditional woodworking skills, which was quite similar to the boxwood.
As a matter of fact, with Yuan Zhou’s current economic strength, he could totally buy an expensive gift. He didn’t need to make it himself.
However, this was the real Yuan Zhou.
After the breakfast time ended, Yuan Zhou immediately went upstairs to wash up quickly and changed into a set of more formal clothes, intending to go out.
He also followed Yin ya’s suggestion. Although Yin ya had gone back and hadn’t come back yet, they would contact each other whenever they were free.
When he saw Carpenter Lian, he was still as strong as before.
The Chinese New Year greetings went very smoothly. When Carpenter Lian saw the 17 empty treasure chests with eight boxes, he praised Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship.
“My skills haven’t dropped. It’s not a disgrace for me to pass on all my skills to you. The size of ‘hidden space’ is almost perfect.”
“However, if there’s a chance, I’ll have to pass down this skill.”
The above was what Carpenter Lian said. Yuan Zhou nodded and kept it in mind.
Master Lian’s return gift to Yuan Zhou was a wooden box. Yuan Zhou wouldn’t look down on this box. If he wasn’t wrong, it should be in the treasure chest, which was half the size of Yuan Zhou’s toolbox.
After sitting for a while, Yuan Zhou’s master urged him to go back when he saw it was getting late.
“Alright, just come and see me. Don’t waste your time on me.”
“It’s still early. I’ll accompany master for a while. ”
“No need. You can go do your own things. I haven’t lost my ability to move.”
Yuan Zhou was urged to go back to Taoxi road. At the same time, some people were also heading toward Chengdu.
Previously, when Zhou Shijie came to eat the roasted suckling pig, he had discussed with Yuan Zhou on how to arrange the matter of his in-name disciples acknowledging Yuan Zhou as their master.
“Including foreign cuisines, there are only seven cuisines. 14 people isn’t a lot. We’ll just go wherever it’s convenient.” These were Yuan Zhou’s exact words.
No one knew what Zhou Shijie’s reaction was when he heard that. However, Zhou Xi admired Yuan Zhou very much at that time. He was indeed worthy of being one of the Twin chefs of Taoxi road. He had mastered six cuisines and foreign cuisines easily.
In the end, they still decided to gather all the in-name disciples together and jointly hold a disciple acceptance ceremony to show their solemness.
From master Cheng, it could be seen that these 14 people would become the leaders of their respective cuisines in the future. Therefore, they couldn’t be careless.
Zhong Lili chose a good day on the 15th day of the first lunar month. During the Chinese New Year, the location would be at the headquarters of the chef’s Association. Yuan Zhou only needed to be there at that time.
“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou knew Zhou Shijie’s good intention and naturally appreciated it.
“This is a big matter of the cooking altar. It’s only proper to hand it over to the chef’s Association. What’s the trouble?” Zhou Shijie waved his hand and said.
All the candidates for such registered disciples started to head to Chengdu. Of course, no matter if they came first or later, they didn’t bother Yuan Zhou in advance.
“Have you arranged everything? if you don’t come out, it’ll be too late.” Zeng Youwei said impatiently.
“Hey, you’re the one who’s procrastinating, and now you’re saying it’s me. I won’t take the blame for this. Besides, I’m a month older than you, so I’m definitely your senior brother. You should show some respect in the future.” Li Youcai was so angry that his face almost changed shape.
The in-name disciple quota of Dian cuisine had been taken by the xuanming elders. They did not know how long they would stay in Chengdu, so they only planned to leave after settling the matters in Dian province. It was already time.
“Sucha, here, here.” When dashi xiujie saw sucha’s figure, he immediately shouted.
At Shuangliu Airport, dashi xiujie saw sucha not long after he came out. The two of them had agreed to come together, so they came one after another.
“Hello, great stone Lord.” Sucha quickly arrived in front of him.
“Let’s go. The hotel has already been booked. It’s right beside the chef’s Association. Someone should have arrived already.” Dashi xiujie said while peeking at the messages in the group chat of the green Chef society.
“It’s our honor to have head chef Yuan as my master. I believe my cooking skills and looks will improve rapidly.” Sucha was a bit incoherent.
“Being able to become a Grandmaster’s disciple is my lifelong wish. I’m really lucky to be able to fulfill it now. That’s why we can’t embarrass the Grandmaster.” Dashi xiujie said with a serious look.
“Naturally.” Su Cha repeatedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
As for the Cantonese, Guizhou, and Jiangsu cuisines, they were also on their way. The Sichuan cuisines were already prepared and waiting to make their grand entrance.
This was really a casual sentence from Yuan Zhou, and it could shake the entire Chinese cooking altar. If someone wanted to write a history of chefs for the modern Chinese cooking altar in the future, this day would definitely be called the “day of the foundation of the Chinese cooking altar”.
Yuan Zhou returned to his restaurant at the time when he was preparing the ingredients for lunch. After washing up and changing his clothes, he began to prepare the ingredients.
As time passed, more and more customers came to master chef Restaurant. Today, the line had basically reached the usual level.
There were more and more shops on Taoxi road. Since master chef Restaurant was open on the first day of the new year, some shops were not closed at all. They did not sell food, but new year goods, daily necessities, and supermarkets.
To do business on Taoxi road, the most important thing was to be consistent with master chef Restaurant in addition to integrity.
“Business has to be long-term. You can’t just focus on the small amount of money in front of you. You have to look at boss Yuan in the distance.” The owner of a convenience store said.
As the pioneer who had been firmly following boss Yuan, Li Li also chose to open at this time. Without a doubt, he should be the first Western restaurant to open in this area.
Not to mention, the business was still okay.
As for the owner of the noodle restaurant, he came today to clean and pay a New Year’s visit. He planned to open the restaurant tomorrow.
The gluttons ‘enthusiasm was unstoppable. During lunchtime, it was very lively. Although su Ruoyan was not around, everyone was still very self-aware. Even after they finished their plates, they would bring them to the place where su Ruoyan usually brought them.
After all, the slogan of the foodies was,”do what you can and don’t waste boss Yuan’s precious time. Maybe you can cook one more dish!”
The high enthusiasm gradually subsided at the end of the lunchtime. After Yuan Zhou sent off the last batch of customers, he returned to the second floor.
As soon as he went downstairs, he was caught by the owner of the noodle shop, who had been watching him.
“Happy New Year, boss Yuan. This is a New Year gift. I wish boss Yuan’s culinary skills will get better and better in the new year and may you climb to the peak again.” The boss was also a smart person.
What he said were all the things that Yuan Zhou cared about. He was an honest person.
