Naturally, Wu Yungui had discussed with Yuan Zhou before he did those things. After all, he wouldn’t do those stupid things that would make this iconic figure of Taoxi road have a grudge against him.
This wasn’t a smart way to do it. Therefore, Wu Yungui helped Yuan Zhou to publicize the restaurant again. However, Yuan Zhou really didn’t expect it to have such a good effect.
Even the newspapers of those days were all about this. At that time, Yuan Zhou was busy and didn’t pay much attention to this.
Because of this, when Wu Yungui asked master Cheng for the invitation card, master Cheng gave it to him directly.
Aside from these people, Chairman Zhou had brought Yu daoyi again. Yes, it was that Daoist priest.
Although he was a Daoist priest, he also loved wine and tea. Therefore, he naturally came to Yuan Zhou’s wine party.
Then there was Chu Xiao who had been waiting in Chengdu for a long time. This time, he came here to drink in a leisurely manner.
There were also some local chefs and the wine Masters brought by Fang Heng. The number of people was the same, but the quality was not important.
Yuan Zhou prepared red wine, bamboo liquor, and beer for the wine party. It could be said that he had prepared all the wines in the restaurant. It could be said that there were all kinds of elegant and ordinary wines, which could be considered as enjoying both the refined and the common ones.
The party this time was as successful as the Tea Party and dessert party.
After attending the banquet, Chu Xiao went back to France again, together with Alfred, who had failed to invite him again.
Alfreya had come and left with Chu Xiao. He was quite persistent.
As soon as the wine reception ended, there were only a few days left before the Chinese New Year. Unconsciously, it was the third Chinese New Year since Yuan Zhou opened his restaurant.
At this time, those who were far away had basically already gone back home for the new year. Many familiar customers had already disappeared. For example, the companies of Yin ya and MA Zhida had already started their holiday.
Of course, Yin ya had said goodbye to Yuan Zhou before she left. But this time, she didn’t ask Yuan Zhou to send her to the station.
This time, Yuan Zhou was also very easy to talk to. He didn’t force Yin ya, because he was only waiting for her to return to Chengdu so that he could make a big move.
Yuan Zhou had told her that when he sent Yin ya off after she finished drinking the liquor.
“I don’t have to see you off this time.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Yes.” Yin ya nodded her head slightly.
“But I have something to give you when you come back.” Yuan Zhou looked at Yin ya with a burning gaze and said.
It was rare for Yin ya to be looked at by Yuan Zhou with such a firm and passionate gaze. She slightly turned her head away and said with a blush behind her ears,””A New Year’s gift, right? I’ll prepare one too.”
“Yes, it’s a New Year’s gift.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn’t correct her.
“Actually, I didn’t let you send it because you wanted to open a shop.” “I know you like to cook and open a restaurant. I don’t want my business to affect you from doing what you like,” Yin ya continued after a pause.
“I won ‘t,” Yuan Zhou said.
“Ah?” Yin ya was dumbfounded.
“You won’t affect me from doing what I like.” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
“Ahem,” Yin ya was startled by Yuan Zhou’s sudden words that sounded like a confession. After calming down for a while, she said,””Well, I should go.”
Perhaps she felt that her words were a bit stiff, Yin ya hurriedly added, “I’m looking forward to your New Year’s gift. “
“Okay, be careful on the road and be careful.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Alright, see you next year.” Yin ya said softly.
“Yes, see you next year.” Yuan Zhou also nodded his head and said.
Not until Yin ya walked out of the back alley did Yuan Zhou say softly and firmly,””It’ll be different next year,”
Although Yuan Zhou’s restaurant didn’t have many familiar customers, the business of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was still as good as before. The number of customers even increased.
But now, these customers who came to eat had a feeling of impatience. Yuan Zhou knew this feeling very well. It was just like the feeling of excitement and uneasiness in the heart when the new year was coming.
There was only one word to describe this feeling, and it was the syndrome before the Spring Festival.
The customers had the syndrome of before the Spring Festival. However, Yuan Zhou had become more and more stable and easy-going with the improvement of his culinary skills. On the contrary, he didn’t have such a feeling of impatience anymore. He opened the restaurant, cooked, improved his culinary skills and other skills as usual.
Right, let’s go back to the time when the party had just ended.
Right after Yuan Zhou announced the end of the party, the system immediately notified him that his mission had been completed.
After sending off all the customers, Yuan Zhou started to check the mission quietly.
[Fame mission] the system has already recognized the host as a peak intermediate chef, and his reputation among chefs has increased. It’s time to organize two or three events to let the public know of the host’s existence. (Completed)
(Mission tips: as a famous chef with a high reputation in the Chinese cooking world, it is imperative to organize two or three activities to let more chefs know the host.)
(Mission requirement: organize two to three internal chef’s activities. The host can decide on the content of the activities. There is no limit to the number of people and time.)
[Mission reward] a mysterious gift (Available to be received)
“System, since you have completed the mission, you should tell me what the mysterious gift is, right?” Yuan Zhou asked curiously.
The system displayed,”the host will know after receiving it.”
“Alright, I’ll receive it then.” Yuan Zhou was quite straightforward and directly said that.
The system displayed,”it has been sent, please receive it.”
As soon as the system displayed the words, the mysterious gift immediately changed into a book. Just like the other recipes that Yuan Zhou usually got, it seemed to be a certain recipe.
But this time, it was different from other cuisines. There were two big golden words written on the book, but Yuan Zhou lost the motivation to open it when he saw the two words.
Because the two words “King cow” were written on the book, Yuan Zhou was simply unable to ridicule it.
After a long silence, Yuan Zhou confirmed that the two words “King cow” were indeed written on the book. Then, he said,””System, aren’t you a strict chef system?”
The system displayed,”yes, the system is a strict chef system.”
“If that’s the case, can you explain what an Ox King is?” Yuan Zhou ridiculed.
The system displayed,[King of beef is an abbreviation. The full name of this reward is King of beefsteak.]
“…” Yuan Zhou indicated that the six points fully expressed his mood and he had nothing to say.
“What F * cking King of steak is shortened to King cow? system, why are you called King of steak?” Yuan Zhou supported his forehead and said.
The system displayed,”the king of volleyball is suspected to be the abbreviation of the king of volleyball, so it’s easier to understand if he’s called the king of cows.”
“System, do you have any misunderstanding about the idiom ‘easy to understand’?” Yuan Zhou was suspicious. What was the difference between a King cow and a King steak?
The system displayed,[it’s easy to understand. This phrase comes from ‘the victorious situation of jumping into the Central Plains and future policies and strategies.’ It means that the general public can understand it.]
“Alright, I’ll take it as you understand. But this cow King is too perfunctory. It sounds like he raises cows.” Yuan Zhou ridiculed again after a long silence.
However, when the system explained that it was the king of steak, Yuan Zhou actually understood what the reward was. Therefore, after complaining, he directly opened the book and started to check it.
