"As long as your cooking skills haven't deteriorated, there won't be any problems." Yuan Zhou said.

He knew that his disciples were doing some small tricks in private, but as long as their cooking skills were steadily improving, there would be no problem.

Who didn't have some hobbies? Yuan Zhou indicated that he was a broad-minded master and wouldn't restrict his disciple's development. As long as his disciple didn't go astray, he could develop his disciple uncontrollably and let nature take its course.

"Thank you, master."

Wang Mingjie's eyes were filled with excitement. He could finally learn carpentry openly without worrying about the old man's family rules.

Cheng zhaomei and the others knew that Yuan Zhou's time was very precious. Basically, after they presented their gifts and got Yuan Zhou's comments and notes, they almost left.

This afternoon, the store was destined to not be a peaceful time. Not long after, another group of people came in a hushed manner, with li zhengguang as the leader.

Although he was a Korea chef, li zhenguang was truly fond of Chinese culture. Naturally, he knew about the double sun Festival. Of course, he wasn't too clear about the details, but he had a brain and a mouth. He could think and ask, and he managed to find out about the double sun Festival.

Therefore, he specially brought the representatives of the Chinese martial arts Association here to thank Yuan Zhou.

They didn't acknowledge Yuan Zhou as their master, but they had indeed learned some of Yuan Zhou's videos and skills and made some progress. Not to mention, li zhenguang had maintained a good relationship with Zhang Longquan and the others. Occasionally, he would even invite them to give on-the-spot lectures to the members of the Association.

As Yuan Zhou's apprentice, she was of great help to li zhengguang and his Alliance. It was also a kind gesture to thank her on such a day.

Of course, they didn't prepare any expensive gifts. They had already been warned that Yuan Zhou wouldn't accept things of high value. The gifts naturally had to be liked by the recipient. Therefore, li zhengguang and the others only prepared one or two special ingredients from their own country.

There were spices, dried goods, sea products, and so on. In short, as long as they could be brought to China, they had brought everything that they thought was special.

"Thank you, head chef Yuan, for sharing your cooking skills so selflessly and giving us a chance to learn. This is a small token of our appreciation. I hope you won't reject it." Li zhenguang, as the president, naturally took the lead.

As he spoke, he displayed the gifts he had brought one by one. At a glance, they were indeed nothing expensive. For example, li zhenguang had given him a jar of authentic Korea kimchi that he had made himself, some special spices from the Philippines and other countries, and the most special one was probably a mahogany root carving from the Vietnam chef, ruan mingyong.

It was carved in a strange shape. To be honest, even with Yuan Zhou's eyesight, he couldn't tell what it was. He didn't know until the gentle-looking ruan mingyong told him himself.

"This is a steamed bun that I carved using an old piece of mahogany at home. It is said that steamed buns are a very good animal in China and have the meaning of auspicious luck. I hope head chef Yuan will like it." Ruan mingyong grinned, revealing his white teeth.

As the youngest member of the Association, the 30-year-old ruan mingyong was born into a wealthy family. However, his talent in cooking was not bad. At such a young age, he was already the head chef of a one-star restaurant. In Vietnam, he was known as little Yuan Zhou and was the leader of the current cooking industry in Vietnam.

Of course, ruan mingyong wasn't famous for his talent, but for his high emotional intelligence. He knew how to conduct himself well, which could be seen from the time he was brought by li zhengguang to give Yuan Zhou gifts less than two months after he joined the Association.

However, even a high EQ couldn't save this guy's hand. Yuan Zhou could tell at a glance that the Rosewood was good wood, but ruan mingyong's craftsmanship was really unbearable to look at. He could guarantee that if master Lian saw this root carving, he would definitely use a saw to smash ruan mingyong's head. He had never seen such a waste of good material.

This weird looking thing didn't look like an animal at all, and it was a Pixiu? Yuan Zhou felt that he had really gained a lot of knowledge today.

Ruan mingyong must have misunderstood his skills and even chose the hell difficulty to carve a rabbit. This was also a kind of strength.

When he heard ruan mingyong say that he was a piece of wood at home, Yuan Zhou didn't know what else to say except for sighing that he was rich.

"Everyone can watch this video. It's your ability to learn something, so there's no need to thank me. Long Quan and the others are all independent, so they do whatever they want." Yuan Zhou didn't have any reaction to li zhengguang's words of gratitude.

The reason why Yuan Zhou agreed to publish the video was that he intended to spread his cooking philosophy. Of course, he only wanted to spread it and didn't have any intention of receiving any reward.

However, looking at the sincere manner of li zhenguang and the others, Yuan Zhou couldn't refuse them and still accepted their gifts. However, each of them had prepared a return gift, the double sun Cake that he had made for his relatives and friends.

Yuan Zhou was now a man with a fiancée. Although he couldn't go home with Yin ya during the double sun Festival, he still had to present the gifts. There was nothing more suitable than the double sun Cake. Besides, he also prepared some for his friends, such as Wu Hai and sun Ming, so he naturally made more. It was just enough for him to share some with li zhengguang and the others.

They didn't expect to receive a return gift. Li zhenguang and the rest were all beaming with joy. Those who didn't know better would think that they had picked up gold ingots.

Apart from the two large groups of people, the others were all scattered people who came to give Yuan Zhou gifts, such as Huang Ling and the old woman.

Some people even needed Yuan Zhou to deliver the pastries personally, which had already been settled yesterday. Everyone understood that the restaurant was about to open for business. It was Yuan Zhou who led Yin ya to deliver the pastries to Wang Huai, Zhou Shijie, and Carpenter Lian.

Although they were scattered, they were neither too dense nor scattered. Time passed quickly, and when dinner was ready, no one came.

They all knew Yuan Zhou's working and rest time and wouldn't disturb him at critical moments.

"Fortunately, I still made a lot of pastries. It seems that I have to make more next year." Yuan Zhou looked at the remaining pastries and calculated the amount he needed to prepare next year in silence.

Although he said that, Yuan Zhou didn't show any sign of trouble on his face. On the contrary, the corners of his mouth even raised up a little. He seemed to be in a good mood.

Compared to the loneliness before the restaurant was opened, Yuan Zhou especially liked the lively atmosphere now. It was no longer the time when he said,"all the liveliness belongs to others and I have nothing".

"Pa da"

Yuan Zhou opened a small box at the side and took out a few specially made snow-white pastries. They were prepared for the rice and the others. As an important member of master chef Restaurant, how could he not have any festival gifts?

After giving the pastries to them, Yuan Zhou started to prepare the ingredients for dinner.

"Hurry up, or we won't have time to line up." Jiang tangjian was walking in front, but he kept turning back to urge the people behind.

"Ta ta ta"

Wan Xinran, who was walking in her high heels and carrying a briefcase, rolled her eyes when she heard Jiang Tang's words,""You're just 50 meters ahead of me. Look at how far we're ahead of you. You have the nerve to ask me to hurry?"

The delicate Wan Xinran didn't hold back when she spoke.
