1988 Master Cheng's monologue

Designing a dish sounded simple, but there were only a dozen dishes. Even with the fruit desserts, there were only twenty dishes.

Any cuisines that Yuan Zhou had mastered wouldn't only have these few dishes. However, the style and theme of the cuisines of the welcome banquet were important.

For the rest of the time, other than thinking about the menu and practicing the dishes on the menu, he paused his regular cooking training such as studying ancient books and practicing his cutting skills.

As Yuan Zhou had held two tea parties before and had several exchanges with top chefs, plus Yin ya had helped him look up a lot of information, the process was quite smooth. He directly finalized the menu.

There were four cold dishes in total, six hot dishes, one soup, three snacks, one fruit, and one red wine. The reason why one soup was cut was that it would be a waste if there was too much food.

Having received Zhou Shijie's reminder, he made two different dishes on the menu. Other than the different taste of the dishes, the quantity was the same.

Soon, it was the day of Singapore's Prime Minister's visit to Chengdu.

Yin ya was both worried and proud about Yuan Zhou's participation in such a large-scale activity. Therefore, she took the opportunity to ask about the progress again while they were having dinner together.

"Blockhead, are you going to take a day off tomorrow?" Yin ya asked.

"Yes, I do. I can make breakfast, but I can't make lunch. For safety reasons, it can't fit my schedule, so I'll have to treat you to a meal." Yuan Zhou said.

"Can we make it in time?" Yin ya didn't worry about anything else but the lack of time.

"The ingredients have already been stored in the kitchen over there. I just need someone to go over. We'll start eating at 12 o' clock sharp. There's no problem at all." Yuan Zhou calculated the time and felt it was not a problem.

He was still very confident in his speed.

"It's good that you think there's no problem. " Yin ya thought for a while and didn't say anything else. She couldn't meddle in this kind of thing.

It was already her limit to help her find some information before. Yin ya felt that she should work harder.

"Don't worry, little ya. There won't be any problems. " Yuan Zhou said when he saw his wife frowning.

"Alright," he said. Yin ya nodded her head.

Other than agreeing, she didn't know what else to say. She couldn't help with the cooking.

The sun rose early the next morning. Apparently, the sun also felt that today should be an important day, so it gave him enough face.

The breakfast was carried out in an orderly manner. Yuan Zhou walked at his usual pace unhurriedly. The customers didn't know that Yuan Zhou had an important matter to attend today. After all, Yuan Zhou's facial paralysis function was already at full capacity and couldn't be noticed at all.

As soon as the breakfast was over, Yuan Zhou immediately went upstairs to change his clothes. He had already handed the leave application form to su Ruoyan and told her to stick it out later.

Su Ruoyan knew what the boss meant and agreed without hesitation.

This time, it wasn't Zhong Lili who drove to pick Yuan Zhou up. Instead, it was Cheng zhaomei who drove to pick him up. Due to special circumstances, she couldn't bring President Cheng along to cook. However, as Yuan Zhou's direct disciple, she could still go with Yuan Zhou to see the market.

"Usually, it's the National chefs who prepare the banquet for the Prime Minister. I didn't expect to be able to witness it today." Cheng zhaomei was filled with emotions.

"I feel that the best thing I, Ping Sheng, did was to acknowledge a master despite the opposition of others." Master Cheng recalled that he had told his friend that he wanted to be Yuan Zhou's disciple.

It was said that Yuan Zhou was too young and no matter what, he was still unscientific. However, master Cheng still insisted on doing it his own way. He just came to master chef Restaurant to help.

Now, he did not know how many people envied him.

The location of the banquet was in a hotel that was specially used to receive foreign dignitaries. In any case, Yuan Zhou didn't know there was such a place in Chengdu before and only came into contact with it this time. However, Yuan Zhou didn't pay attention to this. He was more concerned about the distance.

。

It was not far from Taoxi road.

"Sir, I've checked the route. We'll go there now and take a detour around Jinhui Road. There's no traffic jam at all. We'll definitely be there in twenty minutes." Cheng zhaomei sat in the driver's seat.

"Follow the route you've chosen," Yuan Zhou trusted his apprentice quite a lot.

"Yes." Cheng zhaomei knew the severity of the situation. As she answered, she started the car and started to prepare.

Yuan Zhou was still wearing a Han Chinese traditional clothing today, which had basically become his symbol. To match with the solemn occasion today, Yin ya helped him choose a dark blue Han Chinese traditional clothing with silver edges. It was relatively neat. It wasn't a loose robe with large sleeves, but rather a narrow sleeve that was suitable for cooking and practicing martial arts.

Of course, the clothes were decorated with floral patterns.

While sitting in the car, Yuan Zhou didn't relax. Instead, he simulated each dish of the two menus in his mind. No matter the time and place, Yuan Zhou would always be on high alert.

While Yuan Zhou was hurrying towards the hotel, Yin ya also applied for leave and came to the restaurant because she was worried.

"Lady boss, why are you here? the boss has already left. He just left." When su Ruoyan saw Yin ya, she was a little surprised.

"I know. How is it? did you post the leave request?" Yin ya asked.

"Not yet, I'm just preparing." Su Ruoyan shook her head.

"Then I'll help you." Yin ya was becoming more and more like an owner.

"Yes, yes." Su Ruoyan smiled and nodded.

She was quite familiar with Yin ya and knew that she was the lady boss. Therefore, she wouldn't be very polite to her and wouldn't refuse her either.

"Ta ta ta."

A series of footsteps were heard. In the next second, Wu Hai appeared at the door of the restaurant,""Compass, what's up?"

When he saw Yin ya suddenly coming over, he directly jumped down from the slide at a very fast speed.

"No, he went to prepare a banquet for someone else. He needs to take leave." Yin ya said concisely.

"A banquet for others? We can also invite Yuan Zhou to a banquet. Do you have any requirements?" Wu Hai asked.

"You can ask Yuan Zhou about that yourself." It was not convenient for Yin ya to disclose that.

"Okay. Where did Yuan Zhou go to prepare the banquet?"

"Cough, you can't go to that place." Yin ya was amused by Wu Hai's expression of being struck by lightning. Even her worry for Yuan Zhou was relieved a little.

What else could Wu Hai say? he could only go back to stroke his cat and continue to plant mushrooms. He had just read the leave notice and it was only for one meal. He could still afford to go hungry.

Cheng zhaomei's driving skills were good, and the road conditions were good. She arrived at the hotel at the scheduled time, and there was already someone waiting at the entrance.

It was a young man named Xiao Ding who was assigned to do the chores for Yuan Zhou. He was in his 30s and had a medium build. However, he had a kind look on his face.

As soon as he saw Yuan Zhou's figure, he immediately came up to him quickly,""Hello, head chef Yuan. I'm little ding, whom I've met before. You're really punctual."

Previously, Yuan Zhou had told them the time of arrival. It was still two minutes away from 9:40.

"Is there any new notice?" Yuan Zhou asked.

It was mainly because he was afraid that there would be changes that would require him to adjust the menu. This was also the reason why he had prepared two sets of menus.

"No, I haven't received any new notifications." Little ding said.

"I'm going to park the car, I'll be back in a while. " Cheng zhaomei had to park the car in the parking lot.

"President Cheng, don't worry. I will get Xiao Gu to bring you in. Head chef Yuan, let's go this way." Little ding was also a smart person, and his arrangements were very appropriate.

"Zhao Mei, you go first. Be careful." Yuan Zhou warned Cheng zhaomei and then left following the directions of little ding.

After all, even though they were not in a hurry, they could not waste time.

They entered from the side door, walked down a long corridor, and turned two corners before finally reaching the kitchen. There was no one there, only a middle-aged man in his forties. It was Xiao Gu, whom ding had mentioned earlier.

"Good Morning, head chef Yuan." Xiao Gu greeted Yuan Zhou.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head and pushed the door open before entering the kitchen. Little ding and little Gu stood guard outside and told him to pick up Chairman Cheng.
