2157 Attention from the opponent
After Zhou Shijie left, Yuan Zhou sat down and fell into deep thought,””Did I want to do something before?”
Feeling that he had forgotten something, Yuan Zhou looked at his phone and suddenly remembered that he had not done the proper thing of recording videos. He didn’t know how many videos he had to record in a year, such as congratulatory videos, encouraging videos, cooking sharing videos, and so on. Therefore, he had done this many times and naturally had some experience.
After setting up the phone in a familiar manner, Yuan Zhou began to prepare the tools and materials that he would need. When everything was ready, he directly started.
While Yuan Zhou was quite relaxed, someone in Lyon, France, became a little nervous because of Yuan Zhou.
“This must be the video called Yuan that Auguste and the others are watching. Fortunately, I have many friends and it took me a lot of effort to find it. Let’s see how it goes first.” Steele was sitting in his room, holding his phone tightly.
He had just received a video from a good friend, saying that it was a video of the yuan chef he had been looking for for a long time.
Seeing that the loading had exceeded 50%, Steele knew that he would soon be able to carefully appreciate it. Although he didn’t know the ancient Chinese saying,”know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never lose a hundred battles”, as long as one was in his right mind, he would know that it was necessary to understand the opponent’s situation before the match so that he could prepare a strategy to deal with it.
As the candidate for the champion of this year’s bogus cooking competition, Steele certainly didn’t put ordinary opponents in his eyes.
However, this chef called Yuan made Steele very alert, mainly because he could see from some of Auguste’s conversations that Auguste himself had great admiration for this chef called Yuan. To be precise, it was called admiration.
Moreover, his teacher, head chef Fran Anthony France, also known as the magic hand, was also very cautious of Yuan Zhou.
As a 40-year-old man who could make a name for himself in the world of French cuisine, of course, Steele was also quite capable. However, the judgment of the two top chefs made him decide to take a look at Yuan Zhou’s situation first.
“Dong Dong Dong”
Just as the video was about to finish downloading, there was a knock on the door.
“It’s so late, who is it?” Steele frowned. It was already past eighto’ clock in the evening, and no one should have come to look for him.
There was still a competition tomorrow, which would decide the final participants of the cooking competition. It was very important, so everyone wanted to rest well so that they could prepare for the competition tomorrow.
After practicing his cooking skills, Steele had planned to take a break after watching videos.
Although there was some hesitation, Steele still walked to the door and asked,””Who is it?”
“It’s me, head chef stler. May I ask if you can open the door?” A polite voice came from outside the door.
Butler immediately recognized the voice as the voice of head chef Julian, who was currently his strongest rival.
After hearing the familiar voice, Steele secretly heaved a sigh of relief and opened the door. The floor was covered with a thick carpet, and the door was not in direct contact with the ground. Therefore, there would be no noise even if the door was opened.
Butler opened the door and saw Julian’s familiar face. From his clothes, he seemed to have just returned from outside. He didn’t know why she came to him at this time. After all, they were all competitors, and they weren’t that familiar in private.
“Aren’t you going to invite me in to sit?” Julian, on the other hand, had a gentlemanly smile on her face. She was at ease.
“Please come in, head chef Julian.” Steele made an inviting gesture and welcomed them in.
After sitting down on the sofa, Julian’s sharp eyes scanned the phone on the coffee table. The image on the screen was still on an Asian face. He thought about what he was going to say later, so he glanced at it again curiously.
“Head chef stler is watching videos of Asian chefs?” Julian said in a casual tone.
“He’s a Chinese chef that my teacher recommended. ” It wasn’t anything confidential, so Steele said directly.
“Oh, then it seems that I’ve made the right decision to come here.” Julian’s eyes flashed.
He was well aware of the status of head chef Anthony, who was one of the top chefs in the French cuisine world. He was an absolute authority, and the people he recommended naturally couldn’t be underestimated.
“What does head chef Julian mean? What’s the matter?” “What’s wrong?” Steele asked directly.
He didn’t have the patience to beat around the bush. He was an honest man and a man of his word. Unlike Julian, who had climbed up through her own hard work, Butler was the type who had a lot of knowledge from his family and was also a model of outstanding talent.
“Head chef Steele, do you know where head chef Dean and the others are and why they aren’t participating in this year’s competition?” Julian didn’t beat around the bush and started to ask questions.
“I think he opened a new shop in China. Are you busy?” Said Steele, not too sure.
They were all in the same circle, and they were all head chefs of similar ages and achievements. However, it was a little strange that Dean and the other dozen chefs had given up on the competition at the same time. Nevertheless, Steele wasn’t so bored as to pay attention to their private affairs. Other than feeling a little regretful that they couldn’t compete with each other, he didn’t have any other thoughts.
Therefore, he couldn’t figure out why Julian brought them up.
“I ran into head chef Gabriel when I went out for dinner tonight, and I found out some reasons from him.” Julian was still confused.
It was just that it was inexplicable. Because of one chef, more than a dozen three-star Michelin chefs had voluntarily given up the competition and did not dare to compete with him. Julian felt that if he did not know Gabriel, he would have suspected that April Fool’s Day had not yet passed. Someone was joking with him. Most importantly, this joke did not require any technical skills. This chef was also a Chinese. It was unbelievable!
“Head chef Gabriel is back? I didn’t see it. ” Steele was a little regretful that he didn’t see anyone.
“Head chef stler, do you believe that head chef Gabriel and the others didn’t participate in this competition because of a chef?” Julian couldn’t help but ask.
“What? That’s impossible, what kind of head chef could have such power? could it be head chef Manfeld personally participating?” Steele’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“I don’t believe it either, but head chef Gabriel is very certain.” Julian had come to visit Butler because of the huge impact.
He probably thought that he shouldn’t be the only one to eat the melon, and that everyone should eat it together.
Stunned, Steele still shook his head in disbelief and didn’t know what to say.
“Head chef stler, whose video are you planning to watch?” Julian saw the stunned look on Steele’s face and instantly felt much more comfortable in her heart. She changed the topic.
“It’s a Chinese chef named Yuan who wants to know more about him. It seems that he’s also participating in the competition this time and is directly here to participate in the final.” Still immersed in his own thoughts, Butler subconsciously replied when he heard Julian’s question.
“Is he called Yuan Zhou? head chef Gabriel seems to have mentioned this name.” Julian exclaimed in surprise.
Although she wasn’t very familiar with the Chinese name, she had heard it twice in a short time, so she could still tell the difference. Julian felt that they were talking about the same person, but she wasn’t sure.
