2208 Early arrival
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t need to be so careful, as Wu Hai wasn’t at home.
As a black beast with a family, he already knew what it meant to prepare for a rainy day. In fact, Yuan Zhou’s trip this time was not very confidential. There was a lot of preparation work in the early stage. Moreover, the matter of the bogus world cooking competition could be easily found out on the official website.
Therefore, Wu Hai had long announced that he would hold seven art exhibitions in France. As for this hope of Europe, the French painting circle welcomed him very much.
Therefore, on the night before Yuan Zhou left, Wu Hai, who didn’t get the quota to enter the pub, immediately got on the plane to France with Mao Xiong.
He didn’t even need to book the hotel himself. Someone France had already booked the hotel. Wu Hai and Mao Xiong even arrived before Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou didn’t know about all this at the moment. While sitting in the car heading to the airport, Yuan Zhou closed his eyes and rested his mind. His mind was filled with the knowledge of Spain cuisines.
This was a new way of rest that Yuan Zhou had found. He couldn’t fall asleep anyway, so reviewing the old to learn the new was the wise saying.
Another advantage of this was that time flew by very quickly. While Yuan Zhou was reviewing five or six dishes, he had already arrived at the airport Highway.
“We’re almost at the airport. Young man, which gate are you at?” The driver said.
Although the destination was Terminal 1, there was still a difference in which gate they stopped at.
Upon hearing that, Yuan Zhou opened his eyes and looked into the distance. He immediately saw Cheng zhaomei’s chubby figure. Then, he looked at Door No. 2 beside Cheng zhaomei and said directly,””Master, please stay at Door No. 2.”
“Alright,” he said. The driver agreed, and the car drove smoothly toward Gate 2.
“Creak!”
After the car came to a stop, Cheng zhaomei, who was always observant and alert, immediately saw Yuan Zhou. She walked up to open the car door and greeted him very respectfully,””Master, you’re here. Take your time.”
As a disciple, Cheng zhaomei’s every move was on point. Even though she felt a little out of place when she saw his age, his serious and sincere attitude explained everything.
Under the influence of this true eldest senior brother, the in-name disciples ‘etiquette went up another level.
“You’re quite early to recruit girls. ” Yuan Zhou followed master Cheng’s action and got off the car.
Yuan Zhou didn’t even need to carry the luggage himself. The driver had already taken it down and handed it to Cheng zhaomei. After that, he directly said goodbye and left. This place didn’t allow long parking.
“I should.” Cheng zhaomei pushed her master’s suitcase while holding her own. She looked very relaxed.
As a Top Chef, his arm strength was definitely not a problem. In addition, after training with Yuan Zhou, his strength had also become stronger. Thus, carrying two boxes was not a problem at all.
The next step was to collect tickets, check in their luggage, and so on. Because they were going abroad, it took a long time to pass the border inspection.
Since Cheng zhaomei had taken care of all the chores, Yuan Zhou was quite relaxed. After about 40 minutes, the two of them entered the waiting room.
Other than the small bag that she carried with her, all her other luggage had been checked in.
“Oh right, master, there’s something I need to tell you.” Cheng zhaomei sat for a while and suddenly thought of something.
“What is it?” Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled.
“Even big stone and the others want to watch master’s match, so they bought tickets for tomorrow.” Cheng zhaomei said directly.
Previously, after big stone recovered from his injuries, he immediately went to China. From time to time, he would show up in front of Yuan Zhou to make his presence known. He had also mentioned that he wanted to go to France with Yuan Zhou. The other disciples also expressed their desire to go there one after another.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou felt that it might be a waste to bring more than a dozen disciples to the restaurant at once, so he refused. He didn’t expect that they would still buy tickets and want to go.
In the words of big stone and the others,”if the master goes to beat up the noobs, even if the disciples can’t increase their momentum, they can still cheer from the side. They must go.”
Now that he heard Cheng zhaomei’s words, Yuan Zhou didn’t have much of a reaction. He was an adult and he had his own thoughts.
“It’s not a problem to go,” he said.”But there will definitely be many famous chefs in this competition. When you come back, tell big stone and the others that each of them has to submit three analysis articles on different cuisines.”
After a short pause, Yuan Zhou continued,””I don’t need a lot of words. 5000 words will do. After all, I’m not a demon.”
Yuan Zhou had always felt that the most important thing was to strike a balance between work and rest. His apprentice not only needed to have strong hands-on ability, but also must have a good writing ability.
Ever since they became Yuan Zhou’s disciples, it had become a common thing for them to start writing and doing work. Their educational level had been rising rapidly. Therefore, Cheng zhaomei was quite used to such orders.
“Alright, I got it. How many do I need to write?” Cheng zhaomei asked very honestly.
“You’ll have to deal with more miscellaneous matters this time, so you can write three articles like them. ” Yuan Zhou considered for a while and then said.
“Okay, master.” Cheng zhaomei agreed.
There wasn’t a direct flight from Chengdu to Lyon yet. This time, they needed to transfer flights, which was also the reason why Yuan Zhou set off so early.
After chatting for a while, it was time to board the plane. Yuan Zhou led Cheng zhaomei to the boarding gate. After a series of actions, they sat on the plane.
Soon, the plane took off and left the sky of Chengdu when the sky was turning white.
This time, Yuan Zhou set his destination at Grenoble Airport in Lyon Rona for the transfer flight. It took a long time for the transfer flight. When he arrived at the destination, it was already 6:00 in the evening. Of course, this was the local time in France.
“We’ve finally arrived. ” Yuan Zhou stretched himself lazily.
Sitting on the plane for more than ten hours was even more tiring than cooking for such a long time.
“I should really buy a plane. It’s too troublesome to transfer flights. Besides, Xiaoya can go wherever she wants and won’t have to squeeze in the plane with others.” Yuan Zhou calculated the possibility of buying an airplane in the heart.
When they passed the France security check, they saw Auguste and his Secretary, who had come to welcome them. With the guidance of the locals, the process went very quickly.
Yuan, Welcome to France.” Auguste said enthusiastically.
“Long time no see, head chef August.” Yuan Zhou greeted him.
Even Cheng zhaomei, who was behind him, had also seen Auguste before. She followed closely behind to greet him, but he was just being polite to his junior.
As his master, Yuan Zhou and August were considered to be of the same generation. As Cheng zhaomei was his disciple, she was naturally one generation lower than him.
This was the first time Secretary Hakeem had seen his boss being so enthusiastic, and to such a young Eastern man at that.
Hakeem’s respect for Yuan Zhou immediately increased. Originally, Hakeem had already paid a lot of attention to Yuan Zhou when August came to welcome him personally. Now that he saw August’s attitude, he became even more careful.
After the few of them greeted each other, August took the lead to bring out his sense of ownership and led Yuan Zhou and Cheng zhaomei to the hotel arranged by the competition organizing committee.
