Chapter 2474

Originally, Yuan Zhou had thought that the pretty girl had drunk too much and couldn’t see the way clearly. He even planned to call Mao Ye to help her, but then he was shocked by the girl’s operation.

Although he was often worshipped by the system, it wasn’t that the system didn’t like to be worshipped three joss sticks a day. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been reluctant to see Li Li for a long time after it had discovered his secret. It was really too shameful.

However, the little girl’s words pulled Yuan Zhou back from his thoughts.

“You are head chef Zhang’s granddaughter?” Yuan Zhou was a little surprised.

Yuan Zhou couldn’t be blamed for being surprised. More than a month ago, Zhang jianhai had called him and said that he wanted to introduce an apprentice to Cheng zhaomei, his own granddaughter. He didn’t say that she was good at learning, but he just wanted her to learn more skills. Of course, if she couldn’t pass the test by herself, it would be her bad luck. He wouldn’t force her. He just wanted an opportunity.

Zhang jianhai had the title of the Iron Man of Sichuan cuisine. As an 80-year-old master who was still making a name for himself by the stove, he was very admirable. Naturally, Yuan Zhou also admired him very much.

However, as a compass, he had to follow the rules. There was no need to talk about favors. It was the same no matter who came. However, the person who asked was Cheng zhaomei, so it was not easy to make a decision.

Even if he was Cheng zhaomei’s master and Cheng zhaomei certainly didn’t mind, Yuan Zhou would never do that.

He immediately told Zhang jianhai that he needed to ask for Cheng zhaomei’s opinion before he could answer. Zhang jianhai was relieved to hear that. The opportunity was definitely in his hands.

Since the master had spoken, what else could the disciple not agree to?

As he had been really busy recently, Yuan Zhou didn’t have the free time to pay more attention to both his personal matters and the mission of the restaurant. However, he was still aware that Cheng Zhao didn’t have one more disciple.

That was why Yuan Zhou was a little surprised to see Zhang xinci. How did she find her way here?

“Yes, I am. I hope that head chef Yuan will take care of me in the future.” Zhang xinci said sincerely.

She actually wanted to ask Yuan Zhou to take care of her, but she wasn’t that shameless. She didn’t know if she could pass the apprentice test of Cheng Zhao, but she didn’t want to give up this opportunity to get close to Yuan Zhou for nothing.

Zhang xinci didn’t study cooking before. She had almost started from scratch. In fact, if it weren’t for the respect from both Yuan Zhou and Zhang jianhai, Cheng zhaomei wouldn’t even give her a chance. She was a newbie who might not be a chef in the future, so it wasn’t worth her effort at all.

However, Zhang jianhai had made a great contribution to Sichuan cuisine, and now he was only asking for an opportunity to become a disciple. Cheng zhaomei couldn’t be too unreasonable.

“All the best. How’s head chef Zhang doing recently?” Yuan Zhou asked conveniently.

Upon hearing Yuan Zhou’s question, Zhang xinci’s mind, which had been slightly drunk from the wine, finally cleared up a little. Thinking of her grandfather’s current situation, she also felt a little sad.

After all, Ironman was still a mortal. It was normal for his body to not be able to keep up with his old age. Not to mention, the old man was already 80 years old this year. He was already very old. It was definitely okay for him to exercise normally, but it was a little inappropriate for him to hold a pot and a knife. Moreover, he needed to stand for a long time, which would cause problems.

“Grandpa’s health isn’t too good. The doctor said that he needs to rest well and can’t work anymore, but he just can’t calm down.” Zhang xinci said, feeling wronged.

She didn’t realize that she had already regarded Yuan Zhou as an elder. When it came to the topic of her grandfather, she almost complained about him and looked like she was drunk.

In fact, Zhang xinci didn’t drink much wine. She just wanted to see Yuan Zhou and have a few words with him. Therefore, she only drank a little of the bamboo liquor sent by Lin Lu and the two glasses of super delicious red wine that she couldn’t help but drink. After that, she didn’t dare to drink anymore.

Due to the strong desire to achieve his grandfather’s wish and the strong imposing manner of Yuan Zhou, he unconsciously placed himself in the position of a junior.

“I’ll find some time to visit head chef Zhang tomorrow,”Yuan Zhou said after a moment of silence.

He didn’t expect that Zhang jianhai, who had sounded so confident on the phone more than a month ago, would be lying on the hospital bed now. Although Yuan Zhou was still very young, he could understand Zhang jianhai’s passion for cooking and the feeling of having no choice but to give up.

Speaking of which, he was acquainted with Zhang jianhai because of Zhang Yan. Previously, Yuan Zhou had received a lot of attention in the Sichuan cuisine industry because he became the exemplary restaurant in Sichuan Province. In addition to the excessive attention from Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie, he had also attracted the attention of many senior chefs.

In addition, Yuan Zhou was in Chengdu himself. Naturally, almost all the seniors in the Sichuan cuisine industry had come to visit Yuan Zhou. Moreover, with the convenience of the location, Yuan Zhou would like to visit him as long as he had time. Especially those grandmasters who refused to admit defeat and wanted to make further progress in their culinary skills were even more enthusiastic. Among them, Zhang jianhai was the most enthusiastic.

Yuan Zhou was really quite familiar with Zhang jianhai, only second to Zhou Shijie and Zhang Yan.

However, Zhang jianhai insisted that he never ate at master chef Restaurant, as the customers had never seen him before.

Zhang jianhai felt that Yuan Zhou’s culinary skills were too superb. If he had tasted Yuan Zhou’s dishes, he didn’t know if he would still have the courage to explore the road of culinary again. Therefore, he was determined not to eat them, even if they were cooked by him during a competition.

This was the only thing he could do.

It was also because of this that Zhang jianhai called Yuan Zhou shamelessly to ask about Cheng zhaomei’s apprentice.

Hearing that Yuan Zhou was going to visit her grandfather, Zhang xinci’s eyes lit up,””Grandpa will definitely be very happy. Thank you, head chef Yuan.”

She finally revealed her first comfortable smile of the night. Seeing the little girl’s lively manner, Yuan Zhou’s mood also got slightly better.

Little girls should be happy.

Ever since the engagement was successful, Yuan Zhou felt that his seniority should have grown. Those single people should be the younger generation, the young girls and boys.

It was also because Jiang Changxi didn’t know what Yuan Zhou was thinking. Otherwise, she would definitely come here to argue with Yuan Zhou about the specific problem of the seniority.

After settling her wish, Zhang xinci left with her best friend, Yang Mei, feeling satisfied. The wonderful day came to an end.

Out of concern for his apprentice, Yuan Zhou finally called Cheng zhaomei to ask about Zhang xinci. After he learned that Cheng zhaomei had made the proper arrangements and the date of the examination had been set, he didn’t say anything more.

Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to get involved. After all, it was Cheng zhaomei’s matter. However, he didn’t know that this matter had also caused an earthquake no less than a magnitude 8 earthquake in the Cheng family. The specific reason was Cheng Yan.

Perhaps because the first day was a hotpot day, the next day’s breakfast time was particularly hot. Many customers didn’t eat hotpot, so they planned to come here for breakfast to make up for it.

He always felt that something was wrong, but the customers of the small shop all had the same idea, so it seemed even more lively.

“There are too many people this morning. Actually, the buns and mantou at the side are still very good.” When Cheng Cheng saw so many people, he couldn’t help but want to rush into the store.

She came here especially to find Yuan Zhou today.
