2156 A big matter
Yesterday, after lunch, when they were leaving Taoxi road, leader Zhao did not hold back his words. Perhaps he had eaten too much delicious food, so he talked to Gao Fei and Secretary Fang as he walked.
“Head chef Yuan, let’s not talk about your culinary skills. I think that your personal charm is definitely the best in Asia.” Leader Zhao gave him a thumbs up and praised,”Although our country is full of talented people, it’s really a good idea to open a Michelin city with so many famous foreign chefs living in it.”
Taoxi road and Wu Yungui’s Food City had become a good cycle.
Have you ever seen a Food City with more than a dozen three-star Michelin chefs?
“However, the reason why the gourmet food City is able to reach its current scale is because of head chef Yuan.” Secretary Fang’s words simply went back to the original topic.
Leader Zhao was obviously quite happy today. He called the province and said that the province was very supportive of it. Perhaps the peak of tourism in Lu province would be ushered in. How could he not be happy?
Therefore, leader Zhao waved his hand and said,”I think that the leaders in Chengdu City have not paid enough attention to head chef Yuan yet. Therefore, I think we have a chance. The provincial government has also said that they will give us their greatest support.”
Originally, Taoxi road was full of people. When they passed by each other, no one would pay much attention to each other. However, it just so happened that officer GE came to Taoxi road yesterday to do an investigation at the beginning of the month. When he passed by leader Zhao and the others, he didn’t pay much attention to them. However, when he heard the words “head chef Yuan” and “province Lu”, he sensed that something was not right. He immediately followed them without leaving a trace and heard the whole process.
“There’s actually such a shameless person!” Officer GE was very angry and instantly turned into a villager.
However, officer GE was a very calm person. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been in charge of such an important place like Taoxi road.
Ever since Yuan Zhou became famous and drove the economy of Taoxi road, the higher-ups still paid a lot of attention to him. They were also worried that the lower-level departments would have crooked ideas and affect Yuan Zhou. Therefore, they set up a special group to record and observe him in order to make it convenient for them to adjust a series of policies at any time.
Therefore, it was not hard to imagine that the officials of Chengdu and even Sichuan attached great importance to Taoxi road or Yuan Zhou. It was not as superficial as what leader Zhao had seen.
After confirming the facts, officer GE went back to report the situation, which immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Then, the officials of Chengdu City promptly led people to stop leader Zhao’s poaching operation. Of course, there couldn’t be any physical conflict. They only invited leader Zhao to have tea.
They were both foxes that had lived for a thousand years. They didn’t talk about Yuan Zhou at all while drinking tea. But the more they talked about Yuan Zhou, the more important this matter became.
In the end, leader Zhao was indeed unreasonable. He gave up on his wishful thinking and left Chengdu dejectedly.
Leader Zhao had called Zhou Shijie before he left. Unfortunately, before he could finish his call, Chairman Zhou had misunderstood him and had rushed back overnight. However, Zhou Shijie didn’t see him at all. Of course, he still heaved a sigh of relief.
Therefore, he quickly came to master chef Restaurant to take a look.
Yuan Zhou raised his head and saw Zhou Shijie’s familiar figure. He immediately walked out of the kitchen and went up to him,””Uncle Zhou, you’re here. Is there anything?”
While asking, he led Zhou Shijie to the table beside him and sat down. He even poured a cup of water in front of him with sincerity.
“Little Yuan, have you been affected by anything recently?” Zhou Shijie asked with certainty.
“No, I’m still running the restaurant as usual, and I’m practicing my cooking skills in my spare time. If I have to say something different, I made a very famous wine.” “It’s an old wine,”Yuan Zhou added.
“A famous wine?” “Du Kang?” Zhou Shijie also asked expectantly.
Yuan Zhou didn’t beat around the bush and directly said,””Monkey wine.”
“What?” Zhou Shijie immediately raised his voice,”you mean the deep mountains in Xuanji, Pingle, and other mansions are filled with apes and monkeys who are good at picking fruits to make wine?” The woodcutter who entered the mountain and obtained his lair would have a lot of wine, and it was exceptionally fragrant to drink. It was called ape wine. “
She spoke very fast and even memorized the whole paragraph, which surprised Yuan Zhou.
“Yes, it’s the legendary monkey wine.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
Ape wine, Taowu wine, orangutan wine, and so on were all other names for monkey wine.
Zhou Shijie looked at Yuan Zhou as if he had just gotten to know him. Then, he smiled helplessly,””Actually, monkey wine has always been the research topic of our chef’s Association. I didn’t expect that little Yuan would be the first to discover it. I don’t know if I should be happy or what.”
“Little Yuan, are you going to hold a monkey wine evaluation Conference?” If it was someone else who said that he had brewed monkey wine, Zhou Shijie would give him a tight slap. But since Yuan Zhou said so, he believed him very much.
“There’s no need to make such a big fuss about an evaluation of a wine. ” Yuan Zhou said hesitantly.
“…” Zhou Shijie said,”little Yuan, you might not know how much influence the monkey wine has in the circle of chefs.”
“Let me describe it to you like this. You restored the effect of a butcher dismembering an ox, but in fact, the effect is almost the same as restoring the effect of the monkey wine.”
If that’s the case, he should indeed get one.
“I know you don’t like to make a big fuss, little Yuan, but I don’t come to you today without a reason.” Zhou Shijie took a sip of water to moisten his throat and said.
“Uncle Zhou is usually busy. He hasn’t come for a long time.” Yuan Zhou said.
“It’s not a big deal. It’s like this. The chef’s Association is going to hold a large-scale event recently. Each cuisine will elect the ten beauties. Of course, the ten beauties refer to the dishes. We think that these winning dishes will represent each cuisine. At least, people who are not familiar with this cuisine can subconsciously say how beautiful they are when they hear about it.” Zhou Shijie said directly without beating around the bush.
What he was talking about was actually a series of related activities to promote various cuisines. The significance of this activity was relatively large. At least, it would be a success if people could be familiar with some dishes.
“This event is quite good. When the time comes, let those disciples participate.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said.
“Your disciples are the leaders of their respective cuisines. They are the backbone of the cuisines, so they definitely need to participate. I’m here to invite you to be the judge of the final competition. This way, it can improve everyone’s enthusiasm and motivation.” When Zhou Shijie said that, he even felt a little embarrassed.
If he didn’t treat Yuan Zhou as his own nephew, he wouldn’t have said that no matter what.
It sounded nice, but in fact, it meant that he was using Yuan Zhou’s fame and status to expand his influence. In the whole of Asia, only Yuan Zhou had such ability. Others didn ‘t.
In Zhou Shijie’s opinion, this was something that Yuan Zhou would suffer a loss for. However, as the chairman of the chef’s Association, this was something that he had to do. Therefore, he was in a dilemma.
“Uncle Zhou, how can you say that? promoting cuisines is what every chef should do. I’m very happy that uncle Zhou came to find me. Send me the time and place when the time comes. I’ll be there on time.” Yuan Zhou agreed readily.
“After the ten beauties is over, we can conveniently post the news of the monkey wine and hold an impromptu evaluation meeting. This can also be considered a surprise. Moreover, little Yuan, you don’t need to take leave again.” Zhou Shijie said his thoughts.
Yuan Zhou agreed with a nod after hearing that. He could kill two birds with one stone.
