1927 Rich Yuan

"I remember that there are many colors for diamonds, blue, pink, and so on. Do you need to choose the color of the diamond? Xiaoya seems to like red. Why don't you choose a Red Diamond?" Yuan Zhou thought about it seriously.

Yuan Zhou remembered that he had once seen a piece of news about the world's largest Red Diamond, mushaev. It was said that it was quite valuable.

He wasn't just saying it. Yuan Zhou really started to collect information on the internet. He didn't need to be in a hurry to check, but once he did, he was startled. Red diamonds were the most precious of all colored diamonds.

It was far rarer than blue diamonds, pink diamonds, and so on. So far, there were only two or three places in the world where red diamonds could be found sporadically, so they could not be bought with money. Basically, red diamonds were in the form of auctions.

The most recent Red Diamond auction was in 2014, and a 2.09-carat heart-shaped Red Diamond was sold for 34 million Yuan.

"The unit price for each carat is 16.27 million Yuan. Eh, it's quite expensive. One or two hundred carats is a bit too low. I'll just buy a few dozen carats." Yuan Zhou stroked the nonexistent beard on his chin and felt poverty. He knew that the biggest diamond in the world was more than 3000 carats.

After that, Yuan Zhou found that he was overthinking it after checking a lot of information. The largest Red Diamond, mushaev, was only 5.11 carats. In the past 33 years, there were only 33 carats.

"Why is the biggest one only 5.11 carats?" Yuan Zhou felt a little disgusted.

He had checked the official websites of various major auctions and found that there were no red diamonds being auctioned recently. Therefore, Yuan Zhou called Alma and Atticus, who were in charge of the auction.

As an employee of the auction house, if there was a need, it meant that he could earn a lot. Therefore, he immediately agreed to help Yuan Zhou look for it.

Xiaoya really did not know that there was a super big surprise waiting for her.

Having finished the matter of the red diamond, Yuan Zhou began to prepare the ingredients in full swing. At the other side, Li Li also began to get busy very nervously.

Speaking of which, Li Li's busy schedule was also related to Yuan Zhou to a certain extent. As the head chef of the master chef Restaurant, he had opened a Western restaurant opposite to Yuan Zhou 's.

Four years had passed. How could Li Li's Western restaurant still stand?

Did he rely on his superb cooking skills and superb skills?

Of course not! Li Li relied on the fact that he always maintained the same pace as boss Yuan who was opposite him.

"Boss, look at these. These are the pigs that you picked out earlier. They were sent over this morning after they were killed. Take a good look." A man in his forties rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Hmm, let me see." With a straight face, Li Li nodded his head and went forward to check.

There were five pigs on the huge kitchen counter. They were not particularly big, and each of them looked about the same size. It was obvious that they had paid attention to the selection. The pig skin was white, and along with the meat, there was a layer of white meat and a layer of red meat. It had a healthy color. One look and you could tell that it had been carefully fed.

"Not bad. I chose all of them. They meet the requirements." Li Li carefully checked the five pigs from head to toe and felt quite satisfied.

"That's good, that's good. " The man's weather-beaten face instantly revealed an even bigger smile, and he seemed to be more at ease now.

"Go to the front desk to pay." Li Li waved his hand and said.

"Yes, thank you, boss." The man was very happy to hear this and quickly turned around and walked forward.

"Head chef Yuan wants to make sausage pancakes and sell them as new year goods. Our Western restaurant has to get some sausages to sell as new year goods. However, isn't it a little inappropriate for a Western restaurant to sell sausages?" Li Li said to himself.

The smart Li Li thought of a way. He put a packet of specially-mixed black pepper sauce into each packet of sausage and pretended to be a combination of Chinese and Western.

[Warm congratulations to master chef Restaurant for selling New Year's goods for the first time. Don't miss it if you pass by!]

This was the sign written by Li Li. He didn't mention anything about selling New Year's goods.

"Three days later, head chef Yuan will start selling New Year's goods. He will start cooking today. The time should be around the same." Li Li calculated the time and felt it should be just right.

Of course, Li Li had already told Yuan Zhou about selling the sausages in advance. The latter was still a little puzzled as to why he would discuss this matter with him.

Then, Li Li said,"boss Yuan, you sell the sausage patties while I sell the sausages. It sounds like I'm trying to ride on your popularity. Therefore, I'm asking if boss Yuan agrees."

"I'm selling whatever I want. " Yuan Zhou waved his hand magnanimously. As the center of interest in the Chinese cooking circle, he wasn't afraid of getting a share.

After the lunch time ended, Yuan Zhou hurriedly washed up and changed his clothes. He had agreed to meet Zhou Shijie at 2:30 am, so it was still rather urgent.

Yuan Zhou got on the car. He was quite lucky and didn't encounter any traffic jams. Soon, he arrived at the building of the chef's Association.

As soon as he entered the hall, he saw his old acquaintance, Zhong Lili. She was wearing a professional dress, which showed a bit of femininity on her body. With her delicate facial features, she was a living urban beauty.

"Head chef Yuan, welcome."

Zhong Lili had always been looking at the direction of the door. Therefore, Yuan Zhou saw her as soon as he entered the door and immediately went up to her in his high heels.

"Hello, Secretary Zhong. I have an appointment with Chairman Zhou." Yuan Zhou greeted her with a nod.

"The president asked me to welcome head chef Yuan." Zhong Lili turned around and led Yuan Zhou to the elevator.

Every time Yuan Zhou came to the chef's Association, he was personally welcomed by Zhong Lili. Therefore, they were quite familiar with each other. While walking, they exchanged a few words appropriately. They learned that Zhong Lili had been in a lot of distress recently and her parents had arranged a blind date for her when she returned home for the new year.

Regarding the blind date, Yuan Zhou couldn't express his opinion.

Very soon, he arrived at the door of Zhou Shijie's office. The door was open. Yuan Zhou should be arriving soon after calculating the time.

"Hello, uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou greeted her first.

"Little Yuan, you're here. Come in and have a seat. You must be very busy recently." Zhou Shijie also revealed a smile when he saw Yuan Zhou.

Ever since master chef Restaurant had served Shandong cuisine, Zhou Shijie walked with the wind. To describe his mood, it was like "I have waited for a long time for this day."

"He's almost the same as usual. Is uncle Zhou busier than usual?" Yuan Zhou said.

"I've summarized a lot of things. It's still alright. I've already mentioned it to you on the phone yesterday. It's about the silver spoon Award, the highest award in Lu cuisine." Zhou Shijie started to get to the main topic.

"Is the selection about to start?" Yuan Zhou asked.

"That's right. The selection for the new Silver Spoon Award will begin in March of the new year. This will be judged by a special silver spoon Committee. Little Yuan, are you interested in signing up and taking part in it? I'm the chairman of the silver spoon Committee this year, so I naturally hope you can participate. " Zhou Shijie said straightforwardly and honestly.

"We're starting the registration now?" Yuan Zhou said.

"The registration starts next week." Zhou Shijie nodded his head.

"Do I need to fill out any form to register? It's a person, and it's in the name of a restaurant. " Yuan Zhou wasn't very clear about the evaluation rules of the silver spoon Award. He also couldn't find any related information on the internet.
