Chapter 581 Sino-Japanese Chef Exchange Meeting

"Dongpo Suwan, phoenix tail shrimp, and a plate of Dengying beef, that's it." Zhou Shijie ordered three dishes as soon as he opened his mouth, and they were all meat.

"Okay, but can you finish eating?" Zhou Jia was very fond of this smiling and kind-looking old man.

"Don't worry, for this meal, I only drank clear porridge at noon." Zhou Shijie said proudly, stroking his beard.

"Okay, please wait a moment." Zhou Jia suppressed her smile and said gently.

"No problem." Zhou Shijie nodded, sat on the chair, and just watched Yuan Zhou cooking.

At least Zhou Shijie remembered his purpose. Since he had no food to eat now, it would be good to see Yuan Zhou's craftsmanship.

Of course, the point of this matter is that the food hasn't been served yet.

With Zhou Shijie's eyesight, he can naturally see that Yuan Zhou's current method is different from last time, but there are only some subtle differences.

"This kid is really a monster. Not long after our last meal, his skills have improved again." Zhou Shijie said in amazement as he watched.

"Yes, President." Technician Cheng stood behind Zhou Shijie and interrupted abruptly.

"Your kid is here, come to steal his apprenticeship?" Zhou Shijie naturally knew about Technician Cheng's apprenticeship.

In Chairman Zhou's view, even Technician Cheng, who is almost forty, is still a boy, after all, where is his age group.

After all, Technician Cheng is also a leader among the middle-aged generation. According to the age of the chef, Technician Cheng is also in his prime.

"Are you kidding me again? I'm here to listen, but Master Yuan agreed." Technician Cheng said proudly.

"I know, you must have been stalking and annoying people so much that you got Yuan to agree." Zhou Shijie said with a clear face.

"No, no, no, I am very sincere. I just want to kowtow to my master directly, but I still cannot meet Boss Yuan's requirements for accepting a disciple." Technician Cheng shook his head and said seriously.

"This guy is a genius himself, and he might want to accept a genius as his apprentice." Zhou Shijie's tone was slightly comforting.

"Boss Yuan is indeed a genius." These words were spoken with sincerity by Technician Cheng, who had been by Yuan Zhou's side the longest.

"Yeah." Zhou Shijie also agreed with this point, otherwise there would be no today's schedule.

"Is that what you're here for?" Technician Cheng has been in the chef world for a long time, so he naturally knows the recent major events in the chef world.

"Yes, this year's candidates have been decided." Zhou Shijie nodded.

"Boss Yuan is a candidate to go abroad." It seems that Technician Cheng is the one who understands this matter.

"Of course, young people should be more knowledgeable." Zhou Shijie stroked his beard and said with a smile on his face.

"You still love talents so much." Technician Cheng said with respect.

Technician Cheng's respect is just like his respect for Yuan Zhou's cooking skills, and he also respects Zhou Shijie's personality.

As the president of the alliance, Zhou Shijie knows that his eldest and youngest apprentices are basically the ones who must go every time, but that is also because of their strength.

As for the remaining quotas, Zhou Shijie is always willing to give them to other chefs, but only looks at the cooking skills and nothing else. Even Technician Cheng has been to this event twice.

I have stopped going in the past few years because Zhou Shijie said that opportunities should be given to young people.

Of course, if Technician Cheng's craftsmanship is top-notch among the middle-aged generation, he will be able to go there every year, such as a chef from Guangdong Province.

"Old man, this is the only hobby I have now." Zhou Shijie laughed and said.

"President, were you the same as Master Yuan when you were young? Did your cooking skills improve every day?" Technician Cheng suddenly asked out of curiosity.

"Me? That's not the case. I've only seen that boy Chu Xiao do this. The rest, even that boy Liu Tong, are far behind." Zhou Shijie shook his head and said.

"That's good." After hearing this, Technician Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and said softly.

"Sir, your meal has arrived." Zhou Jia served the first dish, which was Dongpo Suwan.

"Thank you." Zhou Shijie nodded in thanks.

"You're welcome, please use it slowly." Zhou Jia nodded and left.

"Then you eat slowly and don't disturb me." Technician Cheng said knowingly without waiting for Zhou Shijie to open his mouth to chase people away.

"Go on, go on, the old man is here to relax too." Zhou Shijie waved, then his attention returned to the meal in front of him and he started eating directly.

Zhou Shijie ordered a total of three dishes, which were served one after another, and then Zhou Shijie finished them one by one, with perfect speed and time.

After eating, the business hours are almost over.

"Tap tap tap" the footsteps of the diners faded away, followed by Zhou Jia.

Technician Cheng politely greeted Yuan Zhou first and then Zhou Shijie before leaving.

Now, only Yuan Zhou and Zhou Shijie were sitting, and the store suddenly became quiet.

"Boy Yuan, your skills have improved again. The meat of the Su Wan is crispy and tender, the shrimp meat is fresh and sweet without any fishy smell, and the beef is spicy and chewy yet melts in your mouth. Such a taste is rare." Zhou Shijie said with emotion.

"Thank you for the compliment." Yuan Zhou turned on the faucet and thanked him while washing his hands.

"Okay, I know you don't like to talk about this. I'm here for something." Zhou Shijie looked at Yuan Zhou sternly and clearly didn't want to talk nonsense. He didn't hesitate and spoke directly.

"Well, you speak first." Yuan Zhou said cautiously.

"Recently there was an exchange meeting between Chinese and Japanese chefs. This time we will go to Japan first to watch their chefs' demonstration. A month later, they will come to us again to watch our chefs' demonstration. This time I want you to go to Japan." Zhou Shijie said one word One sentence makes it very clear.

However, Yuan Zhou didn't say anything. He just watched Zhou Shijie waiting for the follow-up, but his first reaction was to refuse. Traveling far away was a troublesome thing.

"He who can do it has a lot of work. You went to see the exhibition, and a month later you have to let them see our food culture." Zhou Shijie stroked his beard and said seriously.

"I won't go." Yuan Zhou waited for a while, and when Zhou Shijie stopped talking, he refused directly.

"Don't be too busy to refuse. Our exchange meeting is not without purpose. You must know that in addition to the comparison of hard power, countries also have to compare soft power. This food culture is soft power." Zhou Shijie had known that Yuan Zhou reaction and continued calmly.

"Our Chinese cuisine is not included in the top three international cuisines according to Global Daily, there are French, Japanese and Italian cuisine. Although our ancestors have to hide their clumsiness, when it comes to showing their strength, they cannot lose, so naturally they are the best. Let's go." Every word Zhou Shijie said was very true.

"I'm not a middle-aged boy. When you tell me, I'm so eager to win glory for the country. I'm not young anymore. I know how to manage the country. I'll leave the opportunity to other young people." Yuan Zhou said with a sullen face. He said with a serious face.

Zhou Shijie always felt that there was something wrong with his age. He was still thinking about this issue while sitting in his seat, but he reacted in an instant and asked loudly.

"Who do you think is older?" Zhou Shijie said unconvinced.

"What time." Yuanzhou suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
