After sitting down, tengyuan, who was about to speak, was attracted by the fragrance of the tea. Although he was an expert in Huaxia, there were many things that he couldn’t buy. At most, he would be served by others, such as now.
“This is top-grade tea. Before tomorrow?” Tengyuan wasn’t sure.
“It’s pre-Ming Tea, sorry to make you laugh. ” Yuan Zhou said quite earnestly.
Fujiwara choked and suddenly didn’t know what to say. Looking at Yuan Zhou’s serious expression, he suddenly recalled the first time they met and the scene where Yuan Zhou persistently asked him about his thoughts after eating the steamed rice with anchovy.
Fine, you’re the boss, you have the final say.
He took a sip of the tea. The fresh tea fragrance with a little bitterness spread in his mouth. There was a faint flower fragrance mixed in, fresh and elegant. He had felt a little full just now, but it disappeared with the tea fragrance.
“Good tea!” Fujiwara’s eyes brightened as he praised.
“It’s good that Jiayuan likes it. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
At first, tengyuan Jiayuan thought that he could take some back to drink if he liked it, but there was no second sentence. Only then did tengyuan realize that this kind of good tea couldn’t be forced.
“I’ve come to see head chef Yuan this time mainly because I have a small matter that I would like to ask for his approval. This matter is also related to Mr. Big stone.” After drinking several mouthfuls of tea, tengyuan slowly opened his mouth.
Big stone, who was standing there, was a little dumbfounded because he had no idea what was going on that would involve him. He suddenly felt very nervous.
“Please speak your mind, Jiayuan.” Yuan Zhou said calmly.
“Previously, stone Lord collected some of the words that head chef Yuan had said and compiled them into a book. He then published a book called ‘quotes from grandmasters’. I wonder if head chef Yuan knows about it?” Fujiwara said.
After Yuan Zhou nodded his head, tengyuan continued,””The quality of the book is very good. This year, the Japan chef’s Association has made it a compulsory subject for its members. Every chef who joins the Association must learn it, and they will also formulate a corresponding assessment qualification. I originally wanted to ask Oishi-kun to pass on this message, but I thought that it would be more sincere to say it in person.”
When he heard that some of the words he had said were actually one of the Japan chef’s tests, Yuan Zhou straightened his back unconsciously. On the surface, he still appeared to be calm and collected as he said slowly,””It’s just a small matter. Back then, big stone once brought a handwritten copy for me to see. ”
Yuan Zhou was quite happy about this matter, which proved that his influence in Japan was also growing day by day.
He was one step closer to his goal of promoting Chinese food to the world.
On hearing Yuan Zhou’s words, tengyuan let out a sigh of relief and then continued,””Actually, there’s one more thing. I don’t know if head chef Yuan will agree to this presumptuous request. During the first written test of the ‘Grandmaster’s notes’, do you have the time to come to Tokyo to say a few words? it won’t take much time.”
“After all, if those Little Rascals see him in person, their attitude towards cooking will be better.” Fujiwara finished speaking in one breath.
For the sake of the Japan cooking industry, Fujiwara was willing to give his all. He knew that it was very difficult to invite Yuan Zhou to work for him except for the meetings and activities he held.
This matter was indeed an obvious attempt to take advantage of Yuan Zhou. However, there was no other way. Looking at the entire Asia, there was only one Yuan Zhou in the cooking circle.
Tengyuan was very clear-headed. Before he came to China, he had already discussed clearly with Chairman Masheng that he had to try his best to make this matter happen. No matter what request Yuan Zhou made, he had to try his best to agree to it.
Standing behind Yuan Zhou, big stone opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he eventually closed it. It was not appropriate for him to say anything about this matter.
When Yuan Zhou heard tengyuan’s words, he was stupefied. He didn’t expect that tengyuan would raise such a request. Dashi xiujie had said before that he had already compiled the “quotes of the grandmasters” into a series.
He had also read it before, but there wasn’t much material content. It was just his attitude toward cooking and some requirements. Most of them were just dashi xiujie’s imagination. Yuan Zhou didn’t even understand that this book could be divided into series.
Now, with Fujiwara’s invitation, it was obvious that the book would be included in the Japan cooking Association, and all members would study it. It was not a casual test, but rather a strict one.
This wasn’t something that could be agreed to easily. After all, other people were so serious in their work, and even if they didn’t agree, they shouldn’t pour cold water on it.
“Sure, but I’ll try to do it in the afternoon,” Yuan Zhou answered after thinking for a while.
In this way, the business time for breakfast and lunch wouldn’t be delayed. As long as he took leave for dinner and the small restaurant, Yuan Zhou could come back that night.
Even if there was a delay, it wouldn’t be too much, so the customers would be more accepting.
The reason why he had agreed was because of big stone. Now that he was an in-name disciple, he had to give him some face. On the other hand, it would increase his own authority.
There were no boundaries in cooking, so it was good to have Japan chefs worship Chinese cooking.
“Thank you, head chef Yuan. I will definitely arrange the time well. The plane tickets and accommodation will also be to your liking.” Tengyuan was a little excited.
He didn’t expect Yuan Zhou to agree so easily. While feeling happy, tengyuan also felt grateful and impressed. As expected of the number one chef in Asia, he was really different from other chefs.
Even dashi xiujie stood in front of Yuan Zhou and bowed deeply with a touched expression,””Thank you for your generosity, master.”
“I don’t need a place to stay. I’ll be back in the afternoon and at night. I can’t delay the opening of the shop.” “As for the plane tickets, that’ll be troublesome,” Yuan Zhou said.
“Head chef Yuan’s dedication to his work is also a good example for us to learn from.” “Don’t worry, head chef Yuan. We’ll make the necessary arrangements for the flight tickets,”said tengyuan.
After that, tengyuan even talked to Yuan Zhou about the appearance fee. Regarding this, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t refuse. Since the other party had prepared it, he would accept it out of good intention. In the end, the appearance fee was confirmed to be 10 million Japanese yen.
Even so, tengyuan was still a little embarrassed to thank him repeatedly, mainly because the surprise came too suddenly and caught him off guard.
After sending off the Grateful Fujiwara and dashi, Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up and change his clothes. After that, he planned to start practicing sculpting. In the last two days, he had been practicing his cutting skills.
“The sun is shining in the sky, the flowers are smiling at me …”
The familiar Bell rang. Yuan Zhou picked it up and took a look at it. The two characters “Chu Xiao” that jumped on the screen were particularly conspicuous.
Speaking of which, this wasn’t actually the nickname Yuan Zhou had given to Chu Xiao previously. Instead, it was “the little genius who happened to be on the way”. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was almost seen by others during the Chinese New Year, Yuan Zhou really didn’t want to change his name.
“Chu Xiao, what’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou felt that it was already night time in France. Was she going to pass by again?
“Yuan Zhou, I have to go back to China this time. I’ll come and check whether your cooking skills have deteriorated or not.” Chu Qi said.
To test one’s culinary skills, one should just say that one wanted to eat. Yuan Zhou puckered his mouth and said,””Did you come back this time for something?”
“I need to participate in a program. I’ll cook a new dish for you. You can take a look.” Chu Xiao said very calmly.
“On the show?” Yuan Zhou inexplicably recalled the matter of da shi and Dean going on the program.
Why are there so many people going on shows recently? Could it be that there were good days ahead that he didn’t know about?
