2298 An awkward family of four
"head chef yuan is indeed head chef yuan. his words are of such high standards." zhang haisen said.
the same sentence had different effects when said by different people.
"i also have some ideas about cooking in a village. the information you provided is also very important to me." yuan zhou said directly.
"is that so? is head chef yuan going to start a country chef activity in guangdong?" zhang haisen's eyes lit up.
previously, he had regretted that yuan zhou only held activities in the three provinces of yun, gui, chuan and later on, he didn't hold any more. as a local chef of guangdong province, he actually wanted to show his face. but now that yuan zhou said he was going to hold some activities, zhang haisen was naturally very excited.
"this event is going to be a big one, so i might need your help." yuan zhou thought for a while and then said.
"no problem. if there's anything you need, just tell me, head chef yuan. i'll definitely help you if i can." zhang haisen almost patted his chest and promised.
after talking about the business, zhang haisen took the salty lime that yuan zhou gave him and left. he came straight here as soon as he got off the plane. he was old and had limited energy. after talking for an entire afternoon, it was no longer raining. he wanted to hurry back to the hotel to rest.
after sending zhang haisen off, yuan zhou first called zhang longquan and told him about his father's matter. then, he checked his homework.
at first, zhang longquan was quite happy to receive the call. it was rare for his master to take the initiative to call him. but then, he was confused. his father went to chengdu to see his master?
zhang longquan was speechless. he was so busy recently that he hadn't gone back to see people in two months. he only called occasionally, so he really didn't know what his father had done.
after the conversation with his master, zhang longquan immediately called his troublesome father. as for what he said and what he did, yuan zhou had no idea.
it was time to prepare. after washing up, yuan zhou went into the kitchen and began to prepare the ingredients for dinner. someone had ordered the roast goose and roast duck today, so there were still many things to be done.
the roast duck wasn't the beijing roast duck with a single slice, but the roast duck in jiangsu cuisine. the cooking method was naturally different, so it was necessary to prepare it in advance.
the duck provided by the system must have just been killed. its feathers were very clean and white, as if it didn't have any hair at all. it still felt a little warm and fresh in his hand.
"As the king of cows, I feel that with this level of skill, I can be the king of ducks." Yuan Zhou pondered. Speaking of which, wasn't there a movie called the duck King by fan shaohuang? No, it seemed to be called the herculean King.
Yuan Zhou's mind was at a loss, but his hands were not slow. After washing it, he directly threw it into the ice basin to soak it. Then, he began to process some dried seafood that had been soaked in the morning. Not only did the Hunan cuisine need them, but the other Cantonese and Jiangsu cuisines also needed them. Therefore, there were quite a lot of them. It was also a big project to clean them up.
However, Yuan Zhou liked to do it himself. Only in this way could he feel the level of each ingredient and cook them in the best and most suitable way.
Today was Wu Yungui's wife, you Xue's birthday. President Wu had already booked an all-fish banquet, so the whole family was there to eat.
To be honest, you Xue was a virtuous person. She was financially and mentally independent. She also had her own career and was very good at disciplining Wu Jianan and Wu jiakang.
However, you Xue had never come to the restaurant to eat. It was not that Wu Yungui did not bring her here, but she liked to eat the food that she made.
Even if her son and husband were not around, you Xue would not be perfunctory. She would make a beautiful meal for herself, very ritualistic.
However, after the incident, she did not go to the kitchen for two days, and her complexion was obviously not good. Even though she had put on beautiful makeup when she went out, the fatigue in her eyes could not be hidden.
In the past, Mrs. Wu and you Xue would cook for her own birthday parties. This time, she agreed to come because she wanted to change the environment and taste. This was also her first time coming to master chef Restaurant.
"So this is the restaurant that the legendary boss Yuan opened." You Xue's voice was very pleasant.
It was as if big and small beads were falling on a Jade plate, with both the softness of the Wu Nong language and the crisp like ice and Jade.
Although she was old, she could tell that she was a beauty just by listening to her voice. She had Willow eyebrows and peach cheeks, and she still had a charming appearance.
"That's true. Don't get over it. There are really many people. " Wu Yungui added.
His two sons didn't look too good. Wu Jianan kept muttering something. Wu jiakang stood at the back of the family, not daring to look up at Wu Yungui and youxue.
"Hey, CEO Wu, you're here for dinner too?" Qiao Hongtao had come at the right time.
He was standing behind Wu Yungui and the others. He had seen clearly that Wu Yungui had brought his family over, so he greeted them. There was no need to eat together, there was enough food.
"President Qiao hasn't gone back yet?" Wu Yungui asked.
The cooperation between the three families was completed on the same day. After all, it was only the first trial cooperation, so it was relatively simple and didn't require much work, so it wasn't troublesome. He didn't expect that Qiao Hongtao would still be here after two days.
It wasn't that he didn't believe that Yuan Zhou's culinary skills were so good that he could make Qiao Hongtao stay, but he knew that Qiao Hongtao was really busy. Just like him, he had been busy for quite a while in order to celebrate his wife's birthday today.
Everyone's status was similar, so Qiao Hongtao was naturally busy.
"I originally wanted to cooperate with boss Yuan on the seafood business. But who knew that after I ate the lobster in soup last night, I didn't dare to mention it anymore. I don't have such quality even in my restaurant. But I plan to stay for two more days to inspect the variety and quality of the seafood in boss Yuan's restaurant so that I can make some other plans for the company." Qiao Hongtao's words were righteous.
In any case, he was staying here for a serious matter and definitely not because he wanted to eat Yuan Zhou's dishes for a few more days.
"The ingredients in boss Yuan's restaurant have always been top-notch." Wu Yungui said.
Although he knew that Qiao Hongtao had ulterior motives, as a good partner of China, he still had basic integrity and didn't expose him.
Not long after, dinner time began. Wu Yungui and the others were at the front of the second line. It was their turn after the first batch of people had finished eating.
"It's really not easy to have a meal. " Wu Jianan said.
"So many people are lining up, it's so troublesome!" Wu jiakang said. When he was in a bad mood, he felt that everything was wrong.
Both of his sons were in school, so this was their first time eating at master chef Restaurant.
At first, they were shocked by the number of people in the line, and now they were tortured by the long line. They could finally go in and eat, and they couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
"When I eat it, I'll feel that it's worth it." Wu Yungui said with a mysterious tone.
There were four people and three big men, so the all-fish banquet was definitely not enough. They had to order other dishes. Boss Wu generously let everyone order by themselves, and then they waited for the dishes to be served.
In the past, when the four of them ate together, the atmosphere was very good. Wu Yungui and you Xue would quietly listen to jiakang and jiaan talk about the school.
But now, jiakang had his head lowered, not even looking up. Wu Jianan felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, and the atmosphere was awkward.
