2259 Aren't you very busy?
There were five or six people in the restaurant and all of them looked familiar. Since it was business time, Yuan Zhou didn’t have time to make small talk. He just nodded his head to them as a greeting.
“Head chef ju man, head chef Alexander, and the others. Didn’t they say that they would be very busy for a while?” Yuan Zhou was a little puzzled.
It was August who told Yuan Zhou that he couldn’t go to China with them this time because the competition was too influential and there were many follow-up matters to deal with. But he still came here?
While Yuan Zhou was still in doubt, Gauss was very enthusiastic. He directly waved his hand to signal Yuan Zhou. He waved his hand from far away so that people in the distance could see him. It was an obvious target. The foreigner was also enthusiastic, probably because he had some new interpretation of Chinese culture.
Ju man and the others were much more reserved. They all nodded at Yuan Zhou.
“Little Yuan, go do your thing. I just brought them here to eat.” Zhou Shijie took the lead and walked in front.
After that, he sat down on the first seat beside the partition with great familiarity. Ju man Li followed closely behind him. Originally, Gauss was in the second seat. However, when it was time to sit down, ju man Li suddenly emerged and sat next to Zhou Shijie. Thus, Gauss was in the third seat.
Every time Zhou Shijie came, Wu Hai would give up his seat so that Zhou Shijie could talk to Yuan Zhou if he had anything to say. However, there were a lot of people this time.
“I’ve lost a lot this time. I have to eat two more dishes to make up for it. ” Wu Hai sat beside Zhong Lili while muttering to himself.
“Big brother hai, you’re kind, but we still want to eat a few more dishes.” Mao Xiong sat beside Wu Hai.
Zhong Lili had almost never paid for a meal in the restaurant, but it didn’t mean that she didn’t know Wu Hai. As the most famous black beast in the restaurant, he was too famous.
The reputation of snatching vegetables was also very loud. Yu daoyi and Gu Zhi had fought for the honor of a Golden Rice bucket for two years but had not been able to snatch it.
That’s right, Gu Zhi was a new rising star in the circle of good-for-nothing and had a very strong ability. Although he was only 20 years old and still in college, according to Wu Hai’s evaluation, he had a promising future.
Zhong Lili sized up Wu Hai and Mao Xiong and decided to take a little less in case she couldn’t protect them.
“Alright, uncle Zhou. You must have just returned. Thank you for your hard work.” Yuan Zhou hadn’t entered the kitchen yet, so he still had some free time.
Zhou Shijie waved his hand and directly signaled Yuan Zhou to go back to work. Just then, su Ruoyan came back after she finished writing a menu and Yuan Zhou entered the kitchen conveniently.
They didn’t call Zhou Shijie and the others first because ju man Li and the others had gathered together and said a long string of words. Except for the interpreter who understood them, they were all confused about the rest.
Little Wu, the translator, was the exclusive translator of the chef’s Association. He knew three languages: French, German, and English. Therefore, he would follow them on many occasions. However, this was his first time eating at master chef Restaurant.
Usually, although the chef’s Association was based in Chengdu, he didn’t have one. Therefore, he had been friends with master chef Restaurant for a long time.
“I have to taste it this time and describe it to little Yu in detail when I get back.” Little Wu said as if she was loved by her colleagues.
The little Yu He was talking about was one of the translators from the chef’s Association. Although they were good at different things, they still had a lot of interactions.
“What are you guys planning to order?” Ju man Li came over with a thick menu.
“I’ll just order whatever I want. I don’t know what dish it is anyway. ” Gauss was very Buddhist.
This was what he did every time he came here. Anyway, everything Yuan Zhou cooked was very delicious. He would eat whatever he ordered.
“I think we should ask little Wu which are the signature dishes and we can order them.” Alexander felt that this suggestion was more reliable.
As soon as he said that, Gauss, Anthony, and ju man Li all looked at him like he was an idiot.
“Don’t you know that all the dishes here are signature dishes?” Anthony, who was sitting next to him, was also a little surprised.
Everyone knew that all the dishes on the menu were signature dishes.
“Ahem!”
Alexander really didn’t know. He had followed along because he was hungry and was looking forward to the food.
Gauss said that it was better than the competition, but Alexander was different from ju man Li. He didn’t doubt it, but he was looking forward to it. If he said that, it meant that the ingredients were of a certain standard.
However, he still felt that Gauss ‘words were an exaggeration.
“Then just order whatever you want.” Alessandra said.
At this moment, su Ruoyan had already finished ordering the other customers ‘dishes and was walking over to Zhou Shijie’s table. She knew that most of the people that Zhou Shijie brought were chefs, so she gave them some time to think about what they wanted to eat.
Usually, the chefs who came to the restaurant would either report the dish’s name very quickly or take a long time to consider it. Su Ruoyan was already able to deal with it calmly.
Without waiting for su Ruoyan to speak, Zhou Shijie said,””Four happiness meatballs, one steamed salted fish, and one Salix leaf-shaped steamed bird’s nest soup will do.”
Having just returned from abroad, nothing could be more comforting than a meal of home-cooked food.
Next up was ju man Li. He felt that English might not be able to express the dishes he wanted to eat, so he pointed at the dishes on the menu.”Pork blood meatballs”,”Jade Lin waist”,”preserved flavor” and “steamed”.
“Just these.”
The next few days, Hunan cuisine would be served. Ju man Li was lucky enough to find Hunan cuisine and randomly picked a dish. He felt that the English names were very long, so there should be a lot of dishes and enough to eat!
Gauss was very calm. He flipped to a page and realized he had never eaten any of the dishes, so he pointed at it. “Five-colored glutinous rice, lute meat, and soft meatball.”
He was used to eating a few dishes before checking if his stomach was full before ordering. This way, he could ensure that he could eat more and not waste food. This method was very useful and had been tried and tested.
Anthony also learned from Gauss. He felt that Gauss was experienced, so he also casually flipped to the Jiangsu dishes and ordered [exploding black flower],[crab meatball], and [meat].
In contrast, Alexander had a more opinionated mind. He first ordered a steak. He knew this because steak was usually translated into English.”Wilton steak, mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork. I know mapo tofu. It’s delicious.”
He directly went to the Sichuan cuisine’s territory and ordered Sichuan cuisine, and mapo tofu was even more familiar as it was a widely spread Chinese dish.
It was amazing. The dishes they ordered were all different from different cuisines. Of course, they didn’t know this fact yet. They only felt that the dishes they ordered would be delicious.
It was much easier for Zhong Lili and little Wu. They just had to find the cuisines that they wanted to eat and choose two of them. This was the convenience of being Chinese. They could read whatever they wanted since it was their mother tongue.
The speed at which Yuan Zhou served the dishes was definitely one of the fastest in the world. Before Gauss and the others could stare at Yuan Zhou’s actions for long, the dishes were served one after another.
The first dish to be served was Anthony’s Leviathan. It was a cold dish that had to be prepared in advance, so it was first served.
When it was served, one could see some white mist from afar. It felt cold, and in the hot summer, it felt very cool.
Although the temperature in the store was constant, neither too hot nor too cold, and compared to the heat outside, the inside of the store was simply heaven, looking at the cool dishes made him feel comfortable from the inside out.
“Swish”
The plate was placed in front of Anthony, and he finally saw the true appearance of the kun meat.
