Chapter 2591

This was the second time that man man heard the name of the Association and she finally started to take it to heart.

“The Association? Could it be that Lillian is a member of some Association? she wouldn’t be here to poach boss Yuan, right? do we need to discuss this matter with the committee …”

Man man looked at Lilian who was waving her hands and feet to express her joy and welcome to Yuan Zhou. Even the chair couldn’t contain her posture anymore. She silently denied a series of conspiracies in her heart.

It wasn’t that man man looked down on Lilian, but in a spy drama, she wouldn’t be able to survive even one episode, so she shouldn’t be qualified to plot anything.

The original intention of the queuing Committee was to protect Yuan Zhou from being disturbed by the secular world and to eliminate all unfavorable factors that could affect Yuan Zhou’s normal business. Even though Lilian didn’t seem like a person who could cause any trouble, man man still felt that she needed to ask her clearly. She had already made up her mind.

“Thank you, but this is a small business with very few people. I don’t have any intention of opening a branch or a special snack shop.” Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly.

It was already very easy for Yuan Zhou to refuse such an invitation. It would happen every few days. It was impossible for him not to be familiar with it. Practice Made Perfect.

Man man had long been used to Yuan Zhou’s modesty, but every time she heard Yuan Zhou talk about small business, she would feel a little annoyed.

In comparison, the master chef Restaurant was definitely considered small. But look at who was running it. It was the Chinese chef King, Yuan Yafeng. Apart from Yuan Zhou himself, no one would dare to say those words. He was really too arrogant.

Even though she had already expected it, Lilian still felt a great sense of loss from the bottom of her heart when she heard Yuan Zhou’s refusal. Knowing was one thing, and facing it for real was another.

Fortunately, she was also a smart person and had already thought of a backup plan. Therefore, it didn’t take long for her to seize the time and quickly reorganize her troops and say another idea.

Previously, man man had repeatedly reminded her not to waste Yuan Zhou’s extra time and that she had to speak of serious matters quickly. Lilian still kept this in mind.

“With head chef Yuan’s superb culinary skills, he must have a disciple. Since head chef Yuan doesn’t have the intention to open a restaurant, I wonder if his disciple has the same idea. If he does, I will not change my conditions. I only hope that your disciple can open a restaurant France. We will handle the trivial matters.” Lilian explained the idea she thought of in one breath.

She was quite bold. Since Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to open the restaurant, it wasn’t a bad idea to choose Yuan Zhou’s apprentice as the second best choice.

It wasn’t an excuse that Lilian came up with randomly to get close to Yuan Zhou. In fact, it was definitely the result of careful consideration.

With Yuan Zhou’s superb craftsmanship and man man as a living example, he could make such a delicious cake with only a few pointers. Therefore, no matter what, Yuan Zhou’s apprentice was definitely not someone that man man could compare with.

One was a professional student learning from Yuan Zhou, while the other couldn’t even be considered as an amateur student. One could imagine how big the gap was.

Man man didn’t expect that Lilian could come up with such a solution. All of a sudden, she had a whole new level of respect for Lilian. Just now, Lilian was still acting silly and sweet. In the blink of an eye, she had changed her mind and became very shrewd.

As far as man man knew, although Yuan Zhou had accepted many disciples of different cuisines, master Cheng was definitely the only one who had truly learned a lot from Yuan Zhou. For one, a direct disciple was somewhat different from a registered disciple. For another, master Cheng had definitely been learning from Yuan Zhou for the longest time.

Yuan Zhou was also stupefied. This was the first time he heard someone say that they couldn’t invite him personally but wanted to invite his apprentice. However, he didn’t have much of an idea. After all, he was only one person and couldn’t split it into 17 or 18 segments. Each segment could be very busy, right?

“I fully respect my disciple’s opinion. If you can invite them, I will not interfere.” Yuan Zhou said.

As a master, he could teach and dispel his doubts. Occasionally, he would also remind his disciples when they made mistakes. However, he wouldn’t interfere with them any more. As long as his disciples felt that he could learn cooking skills and open a restaurant at the same time, Yuan Zhou felt that everything else could be discussed.

However, Yuan Zhou had always insisted that he couldn’t make any mistakes when it came to cooking skills.

“Thank you, head chef Yuan. I will personally contact and follow up on this matter. Thank you very much for your hospitality today. We will take our leave first.”

Lillian was already very comforted when she got Yuan Zhou’s answer and knew that he didn’t intend to stop her apprentice from going abroad to develop her career.

If Yuan Zhou also refused him flatly, that would be the worst thing. Fortunately, it didn’t come to that point.

Lilian wasn’t worrying for nothing. Even in foreign countries, Masters had the right to speak when it came to their disciples. Some of them even vetoed it with a single vote. It all depended on how kind the Masters were.

It was rare for Lilian to see someone like Yuan Zhou who respected his apprentice’s opinion completely.

Even the disciples brought up by her own parents did not receive such good treatment. It was already good that they could be semi-independent, especially before they graduated.

After seeing Lillian and man man off, Yuan Zhou found that he still had enough time and planned to go and do other things.

The ingredients for today’s reservation had not been processed yet and needed to be processed by Yuan Zhou. Moreover, it was still the time when min cuisine was the most popular. Therefore, most of the reserved dishes were related to min cuisine. However, there were still a few tables that needed to be prepared for the banquet.

There were only a few reasons to make a reservation for a banquet all year round, especially not everyone. Wu Hai could not find so many reasons to make a reservation. Therefore, even when new Fujian dishes were served, he had to eat the banquet first.

Since the Fujian cuisine was on the menu, it could be eaten either early or late, but there was no rush for the banquet.

“Ding Ling Ling Ling Ling”

As soon as Yuan Zhou entered the kitchen, he began to get into the mood and got busy earnestly. He only focused on the matter at hand and paid no attention to the outside world.

Recently, the customers of master chef Restaurant could be said to be at their happiest moment. They had only eaten Hokkien food for a few days, and it was time for them to take turns to eat hotpot again. Naturally, it was lively again.

It was such a pleasant thing to eat hotpot around the stove, especially in the winter. Moreover, the soup base of the hotpot was cooked by Yuan Zhou and the ingredients were prepared. Was it a matter of one plus one equals three? definitely not.

Therefore, even though the next day was the day to draw lots for hotpot, they had already started to warm it up today.

There were people who fasted and bathed in hopes of getting lucky, people who decided to pray to Buddha and donate money, people who wanted to do last-minute cravings, people who didn’t wash their hands when going to the toilet, people who didn’t wash their faces for the next two days, and so on. In any case, as long as they felt that it could increase their luck, the diners would never get tired of it.
