Chapter 1046 No Boiling Water Provided
After Yuanzhou found nothing on the website, he started practicing his carving skills seriously.
Taoxi Road was still noisy as usual, but people passing by Yuanzhou's shop subconsciously stopped to watch and kept their voices down to avoid disturbing Yuanzhou.
As for France, which has a seven-hour time difference from Chengdu, the time goes back to lunch time in Yuanzhou, which is four o'clock French time.
Chu Xiao's shop had just finished its work.
"This time should be about the same." Chu Xiao glanced at the clock in the office, then took out his mobile phone and started making a call.
The phone only rang three times before it was picked up.
Chu Xiao said hello: "President Zhou, I am Chu Xiao."
Yes, Chu Xiao made this call to Zhou Shijie.
"Chu Xiao? Why do you have time to call the old man?" Zhou Shijie's teasing voice came from the phone.
"Of course I have something to ask you." Chu Xiao was still as polite as ever.
"What? Are you coming back and passing by Taoxi Road to treat me to dinner again?" Zhou Shijie's tone was even more teasing this time.
But Chu Xiao didn't realize it, and his voice was as arrogant as ever: "No, I don't have time recently."
"Then what are you asking me for, old man?" Zhou Shijie said.
"Registration for next year's Global Chef Exchange Conference has begun." Chu Xiao reminded.
"I know this." Zhou Shijie nodded, indicating that he understood.
"That one should sign up." Chu Xiao said firmly.
"Who? You mean that boy from Yuan Zhou?" Zhou Shijie didn't realize who Chu Xiao was talking about at first, but then he thought about it and realized that it should be Yuan Zhou.
After all, among the younger generation in the country, only Yuan Zhou deserves Chu Xiao's attention, and he made this call specifically.
"Yeah." Chu Xiao did not deny it and hummed lightly.
"He doesn't know about this yet. Yuan Zhou is a kid who only cares about cooking. He is not interested in any other competitions. That kid is even more boring than an old man like me." Zhou Shijie's words were all complaints, but his tone was difficult. Covering pride and pride.
Chu Xiao was quiet for a moment,
No words were spoken.
"That boy from Yuanzhou has still finished his journey in the country." Zhou Shijie paused and then said.
Obviously Zhou Shijie wanted Yuan Zhou to move more steadily and slowly, and not be so anxious for Yuan Zhou to develop internationally.
After all, Yuan Zhou is such a genius, what if he can't figure it out and flies away again? Zhou Shijie now regards Yuan Zhou as a treasure.
"I think his goal is not just domestic. It is also his goal to promote Chinese cuisine." Chu Xiao heard Zhou Shijie's intention of not wanting Yuan Zhou to participate, but he knew Zhou Shijie's goal best, so he said instead.
"That's natural. This is the wish of chefs of our generation. After all, our food culture has a long history. Naturally, those idiots should be exposed to it." When it comes to this, Zhou Shijie's tone became much firmer.
"This exchange meeting is just a good way for him to be known by others." Chu Xiao said.
"What you said makes sense. I'll ask Yuan Xiaozi what he means." Zhou Shijie pondered for a moment and then said.
"Remember to let me know if you agree. I'm looking forward to it." Chu Xiao sounded confident. He firmly believed that Yuan Zhou would agree.
"Okay, I know you're a naughty kid." Zhou Shijie scolded with a smile.
"Thank you, President Zhou." Chu Xiao didn't say much and hung up the phone.
"Yuanzhou, I wonder how amazing your cooking skills will be at next year's party." Chu Xiao couldn't help but murmured to himself as he stood in the office and looked at the high-rise buildings outside the window.
Zhou Shijie, who put down the phone, rarely stayed for a while.
"This competition can make you famous, but boy Yuan is young after all." From the bottom of his heart, Zhou Shijie did not want Yuan Zhou to distract his cooking skills for other things.
For example, those cooking competitions or cooking exchanges that Yuan Zhou was invited to participate in were either 100 or 200, but Zhou Shijie rejected them all.
Zhou Shijie would tell Yuan Zhou only about some old brands that were worthy of Yuan Zhou's visit, and then let him choose.
"Forget it, it depends on Mr. Yuan's own choice. When the time comes, I will be by his side, and others will have to think carefully about poaching." Zhou Shijie immediately thought of a solution.
Yes, Zhou Shijie firstly did not want Yuanzhou to be distracted by other things, but secondly, Yuanzhou was too young and was afraid of being poached by foreign catering companies.
After all, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine is not only called traditional Chinese medicine, but now even cooking has a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. Zhou Shijie is naturally worried.
"This kid is so curious, so he should not be interested in Western food." He said this, but Zhou Shijie still marked it on his schedule and planned to take time to go to Yuanzhou's shop.
Time passed very quickly, even at Yuan Zhou's ghostly speed, the painting of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was still not finished.
"Three hours, nineteen minutes and thirty seconds, only one-third of the sculpture has been carved. It seems to be too slow." Yuan Zhou frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with his own speed.
"The Qingming Festival Along the River is 25.2 centimeters wide and 528.7 centimeters long. It is really slow to carve only 123 centimeters now." Yuan Zhou looked up at the picture in his hand and felt regretful.
"It should be almost ready when I can finish the carving in one afternoon." Yuanzhou cut off the engraving of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and placed it in the small courtyard of the tavern.
Obviously Yuan Zhou did not intend to give this painting away, after all, it was an unfinished product.
After cleaning up the store entrance, Yuanzhou returned to the store and started preparing ingredients for dinner.
The store door was wide open, and soon people started queuing up.
But at the front of the queue, there are three very unfamiliar people, but these three people don't seem to know each other but they all have one thing in common.
These three are all men, two of them wear glasses, and the other one without glasses has squinted eyes. He is skinny and looks a little energetic. He is holding a plastic bag in his hand.
One of the glasses with glasses is very special. The lenses are irregularly shaped, and there are no frames wrapped around the lenses. There are frames only on both sides. The whole person is wearing very fashionable clothes. At first glance, he is a trendy man. Holding a pink lunch box in his hand.
The other one wearing glasses was much more ordinary. He was wearing ordinary clothes, a white shirt and black trousers. He looked very polite, but this man also held a plastic bag with something in it.
And there are more than a dozen people holding things in their hands like this among the people lining up behind, which is quite a lot.
The excited person among them was lined up behind Wu Hai.
"The guide said, it's super delicious to go with this noodle. I'm really looking forward to it. I'm really looking forward to it." The man muttered quietly while standing behind Wu Hai.
"By the way, I don't seem to have brought boiling water. How do I make noodles and boil water? Will Boss Yuan provide it?"
"How can I eat instant noodles without boiling water? What should I do?"
This man started looking forward to talking about boiling water everywhere, and finally caught Wu Hai's attention.
"Compass doesn't provide boiling water." Wu Hai turned his head and said seriously while stroking his mustache.
