Yuan Zhou restrained himself very much. He only made a gesture when he received it. Then, he suppressed his desire to experiment and began to prepare the ingredients without any distracting thoughts.
As usual, the ingredients were quickly cut into suitable sizes in Yuan Zhou's hands. When Yuan Zhou was sculpting the larger ingredients, he was still using the familiar knife skills.
He didn't use the first part of the carving technique that he had just obtained. This was Yuan Zhou's habit. He was used to cooking for his customers only after he had completely mastered the technique.
After making lunch calmly, Yuan Zhou didn't drive Cheng Han away this time. Instead, he immediately started to move the table and chairs and prepared to sculpt.
"Grandmaster, let me do it. Leave it to me." Cheng Yu immediately said.
"No need," Yuan Zhou refused.
"Grandmaster can go wash up first, and then you can go and carve directly after coming down. Won't that save a lot of time?" Cheng Cheng said with reason.
"Then I'll have to trouble you," Yuan Zhou considered for a second and then said.
"It's no trouble at all. This is what I should do as a master's husband," Cheng Han immediately ran over to the tables and chairs in the courtyard.
As this wasn't the first time Cheng Cheng had moved tables and chairs, Yuan Zhou felt quite at ease. Most importantly, the tables and chairs weren't heavy.
Yuan Zhou went upstairs to wash up faster than usual. He came downstairs in about six minutes, but this time, there were still some water droplets on his hair.
Just as Yuan Zhou walked to the cabinet in the kitchen and prepared to open it to get the sculpting materials prepared by the system, his phone on the table suddenly rang.
"Ding Ling Ling Ding Ling." The phone rang and vibrated on the table.
Yuan Zhou frowned slightly and didn't really want to take it. After all, he was busy sculpting.
"It's a call from Grandmaster. " Cheng Han reminded her in a low voice.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou took two steps forward and picked up the phone.
A string of unknown numbers was displayed on the phone page. Yuan Zhou didn't want to answer the call anymore.
However, his phone kept ringing.
"Hello, I'm yuan Zhou," Yuan Zhou answered the phone and said simply and clearly.
"Hello, Mr. Yuan. I'm Zhong Lili." A familiar female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What is it?" Yuan Zhou said.
"It's like this. The three province village chef tournament is preparing for its opening. We need a full-body photo of the initiator, Mr. Yuan, to be enlarged as a human figure." Zhong Lili knew Yuan Zhou's character and thus told him her purpose straightforwardly.
"When do you want it?" Yuan Zhou considered for a second and then asked.
"Of course, I hope Mr. Yuan can do it as soon as possible. Within a week. Is that okay?" Zhong Lili said.
"Sure." Yuan Zhou answered.
"Then I'll come to your store to pick it up at 9:30 A. M. Next week." Zhong Lili said.
"How many portraits of this person will you make?" Yuan Zhou suddenly asked.
"When the time comes, there will be a lot of them at every competition venue. We haven't counted them completely yet. We'll introduce you as the initiator." Zhong Lili said.
"Hmm, very good." Yuan Zhou said.
"Alright. I won't disturb you any longer, Mr. Yuan. See you next week." Zhong Lili said.
"Goodbye." After Yuan Zhou said that, he hung up the phone naturally.
On the other side, Zhong Lili looked at the phone that was hung up quickly with a helpless expression. After staring at the phone for a while, she could only put it down and continue to work.
However, after Yuan Zhou hung up the phone, he squatted down to look for the ingredients again. At the other side, Cheng Han scratched his ears and cheeks curiously but didn't ask.
After all, she didn't dare to ask since Yuan Zhou didn't tell her. This was also one of the rules that master Cheng had taught her.
Yuan Zhou, however, piled the bamboo tubes, Cork and other materials back into the cabinet and then stood up to take his phone and prepared to make a call.
This time, Yuan Zhou walked out of the back door of the kitchen and made the call in the alley.
The call went through very quickly, and a sweet female voice came through.
"Hello, Mr. Yuan," The female voice greeted him sweetly.
"I want to have my clothes custom-made." Yuan Zhou said concisely.
"Alright. What are your requirements?" The female voice said.
"The size will not change. Give me five sets for each formal occasion, the matching kind." Yuan Zhou said.
"Alright. Are there any requirements for the color?" The rustling sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper could be heard from the microphone. It seemed that the person was listening and taking notes.
"I don't have any requirements, but those are all festive occasions." Yuan Zhou emphasized.
"We'll do as you've requested, Mr. Yuan. Don't worry. " The female voice said solemnly.
"I need it within five days." Yuan Zhou requested.
"Alright, as usual, I'll deliver it to your door on time." The person on the other end of the phone didn't have any doubts about the urgency of the matter and agreed immediately.
There was indeed no doubt about it, because the phone call Yuan Zhou made was from the store that had been helping him to customize the Han clothing. Ever since Yuan Zhou became famous, the business of that store had been improving rapidly. The number of customers who came to customize the Han clothing was three times more than before.
Moreover, it was not only because of the celebrity effect, but also because Yuan Zhou's formal wear was very expensive. As a result, the director of the Han clothing studio had prepared the fabric with patterns and handmade fabrics that Yuan Zhou liked. All of those were prepared for Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou had long been the first VIP of their restaurant. After all, they were willing to make Han Chinese clothing for Yuan Zhou even if it was free. It should be said that not only they were willing to do so, but also the other Han clothing studios and shops.
Moreover, Yuan Zhou paid for it, and quite a lot.
"I'm sorry to trouble you," Yuan Zhou didn't really care about that. After saying that, he hung up the phone as he had done before.
"Now that I have the clothes, the only thing left is to take pictures." Yuan Zhou stroked his forehead and thought carefully.
"Those photos definitely won't work on such a formal occasion. It's better to find a reliable photographer to re-shoot." Yuan Zhou automatically ignored the pile of photos on his computer.
These photos were taken by the people who came to take photos and interview. It should be said that each photo was quite formal.
"But who should I get to take this photo from?" In Yuan Zhou's mind, the photo studio where he used to take ID photos appeared.
"Forget it. I'm sure I won't be able to get the solemn feeling I want there. After all, I'm facing so many chefs, and I have to make a human figure. I can't be sloppy." Yuan Zhou immediately shook his head and denied the idea.
Yuan Zhou had never thought of going to those Studios to take pictures himself. If there was no reliable person to introduce him, most of the studios would be a scam.
While he was thinking about that, Yuan Zhou had already entered the restaurant again and went to the door with the ingredients, preparing to sculpt.
As soon as he walked outside, he found Taoxi road was quite lively, because the three people who passed by just now all greeted Yuan Zhou.
"Boss Yuan is sculpting," The people who had just passed by were the police who had been here twice. They were walking together and greeted Yuan Zhou when they saw him.
"Little Yuan is so hardworking. He's still practicing his knife skills." The person who spoke was the director of the street office.
Yuan Zhou nodded his head and answered them one by one.
Only after they walked past did Yuan Zhou remember what day it was today. It was the day that Huang Ling and her brother would move.
"I hope they'll like my gift." Yuan Zhou looked at the familiar people walking towards the direction of Huang Ling's home.
