1726 The state banquet's chief consultant
Good relations? Yuan Zhou thought for a while. Perhaps his handsome appearance had already spread all over the country and had reached the point where he could attract both men and women.
In fact, the real reason was not as complicated as Yuan Zhou had thought. The previous recording of the exchange with the master had been recorded in almost all the eight major cuisines. Moreover, it had been used as a teaching file, which had a great effect.
After seeing Yuan Zhou’s dishes, it was very normal for him to return the favor.
"Since there’s no problem, sign this contract." While Zhou Shijie was saying that, Zhong Lili took out the contract and placed it in front of Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou took a look at the contract subconsciously. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust Zhou Shijie, but rather, it was a subconscious habit.
As the state banquet’s chief consultant had a salary, the country wouldn’t let you work for free. The contract mainly wrote some precautions and confidentiality matters.
For example, one of the rules was that he could not use the reputation of the ‘state banquet dishes’ to increase the price of the dishes themselves.
For example, after the state banquet, he would sell the dishes he made at the state banquet in his own restaurant. This dish was originally sold for 70 Yuan, but because of the state banquet, it was sold for 180 yuan. Such an inflated price was not allowed.
There were two copies of the contract, one for each.
After that, he gave both contracts to Zhong Lili first, as he had to return them to the higher-ups to sign first and then give them to Yuan Zhou.
"Little Yuan, ever since you opened your restaurant in Taoxi road, there have been more and more events here. The guests you’ve invited are all at an international level." Zhou Shijie sighed with emotion."First, it’s your personal exhibition of culinary skills. Then, it’s Chu Xiao’s upcoming second personal exhibition. Roast whole cow, exchange meeting, and then Gaogou meeting."
Yuan Zhou felt that everything the chairman said was related to him …
"I have something to do at the Union, so I’ll be leaving." Zhou Shijie stood up.
"Uncle Zhou, slow down." Yuan Zhou saw Zhou Shijie off at the end of the street.
As it was still within the range of the discounted red date chicken soup, there would be more customers. Therefore, Yuan Zhou would prepare the ingredients a little earlier.
On the other side, the first batch of exhibitions in the painting God Lodge had already ended. Therefore, Wu Hai left as well. After all, it would be bad if they bumped into each other.
Wu Hai was sitting in the café near the gallery in a daze. Feng ti followed him here.
"Mr. Wu, can you tell me who the artist you admire the most is?" After Feng ti was conquered by the <monster eating picture>, he no longer regarded Wu Hai as an opponent. After realizing the gap between them, he regarded Wu Hai as the direction to advance. And it was also because of this that he asked such a question.
Regarding this question, Wu Hai blurted out,""Yuan Zhou,"
“yuanzhou?”Feng ti couldn’t think of which artist this was.
"Don’t you even know Yuan Zhou?" Wu Hai looked at Feng ti as if he was looking at an idiot. The two of them were conversing in English.
Feng TI’s expression tensed up, his mind spinning but he still couldn’t find this artist. But who was Feng ti? he wouldn’t admit defeat, so he said,"Of course I know about Mr. Yue Zhou. He’s a relatively niche artist. I didn’t expect you to like him."
Wu Hai directly showed the back of his head to Feng ti. He didn’t want to talk to the second fool.
When the reporters were almost done with the interview, Feng ti learned from a certain person that the yuan Zhou that Wu Hai admired the most was actually that famous chef.
In fact, this master chef had been introduced before the opening ceremony. Bai na also said that Yuan Zhou was Wu Hai’s best friend. Therefore, it was definitely not a problem to ask his best friend to help with the opening ceremony.
Feng ti didn’t care much about food. Besides, it was hard to remember the pronunciation of Chinese names. Most importantly, Feng ti had thought of many possibilities as to who Wu Hai admired the most. He had thought of the three most famous Netherlands heroes or the grandmasters of Post-Impressionism. However, he had never thought of them as people who could cook.
It was as if you asked your goddess who she liked the most, and she said a name. As a bootlicker, you had no idea who that person was. So, you searched for him, but you would never think that the name that your goddess said was a cat in her house.
This wasn’t a problem of not paying attention, but a problem that he didn’t think of at all.
Feng ti thought of his actions and words just now. He really wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground. But what Feng ti was more curious about was, why was the person he admired the most a chef?
As a French, Feng ti had a high status in France, but he was not an artist. Anyway, that was what Feng ti saw.
Therefore, his strong desire for knowledge made Feng ti ask Wu Hai directly.
"Mr. Wu, why is head chef Yu ‘an Zhou the artist you admire the most?" Feng ti even specifically mentioned the head chef.
Originally, Wu Hai didn’t want to talk to the scepter maker in case his IQ was lowered. But since the conversation involved Yuan Zhou, he still said it reluctantly.
"Which artist do you admire the most?" Wu Hai glanced at Feng ti and asked.
"Paul censhan, I think that the color vision of all modern paintings is following the path of Paul censhan. He is worthy of being the Father of modern painting." From Feng TI’s words, one could see how much he respected cechan.
In fact, it was normal to like Cezanne. There was a high chance that people who learned how to draw would like Cezanne, because this guy was also a genius.
"To put it simply, you think that sai Shang is a good painter, and that he has made a great contribution to the art world. Can I conclude it like this?" Wu Hai said straightforwardly.
Feng ti opened his mouth to add something, but he found that it was perfect and there was nothing to add.
Wu Hai said,"in fact, the principle is the same. The dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou are excellent from the tableware to the color. Moreover, his focused attitude is also the goal of my learning. Therefore, he is the artist I admire the most. What’s the problem?"
"No, I didn ‘t," Feng ti was convinced.
"Besides, I can tell you a piece of information secretly," Wu Hai said mysteriously.
"What is it, Mr. Wu?" Feng TI’s curiosity was aroused.
"Yuan Zhou and I have collaborated on a very shocking work of art. It will be auctioned in the auction house." Wu Hai said.
Feng TI’s first reaction was to ask,""How is it compared to the monster eating map?" He didn’t ask which auction house it was. Wu Hai’s things would definitely be widely publicized during the auction, so he would know by then.
"Good." Wu Hai said firmly.
Better? Looking at Wu Hai’s serious manner, Feng ti didn’t know what to say.
Feng ti imagined that it would be even better. What kind of art would that be? by the time Feng ti came back to his senses, Wu Hai had already disappeared.
"I have to go to Mr. Yuanzhou’s for a meal." Feng ti thought that it didn’t matter if the taste was good or not, he wanted to order the most beautiful dish!

[Author’s note: regarding Miao Miao’s plot, the noob cat didn’t write it on purpose. It’s because this plot is quite difficult to write. This character will be a more important supporting character at the end. She also wants to express something.]
Seeing that so many people didn’t like it, and some even abandoned it, the noob cat didn’t feel good either!
That’s why the noob cat stayed up all night writing! He wrote four chapters as a sincere apology. His friends, the noob cats, felt that they could still be saved! Should he try to save them?
Thank you, everyone!
