“Boss, someone is looking for you.” Su Ruoyan had just sent off a wave of customers when she saw two foreigners walking over from a distance.
Having been here for many times, su Ruoyan knew that the two people were most likely looking for Yuan Zhou for something. Therefore, she hurriedly shouted towards the restaurant, in case Yuan Zhou’s important matter was delayed.
Yuan Zhou was packing up the ingredients in the restaurant and preparing to cook a serving of mixed fried rice for himself. He nodded to su Ruoyan to indicate that he understood and then stopped his action of returning to the restaurant.
Very soon, the two of them came to Yuan Zhou. They were Gauss and Auguste.
“It’s very impolite of me to suddenly visit. ” Gauss said, and Auguste, who was beside him, agreed.
“Mr. Gauss and Mr. Auguste, what’s the matter?” Yuan Zhou asked. There must be something for the two chefs to come together.
“It’s about the translation of the names of Chinese dishes that I’ve mentioned before,” “I’ve discussed it with President August,” Gauss said directly.”We perfected the idea yesterday. We think we can come up with a dictionary for both French and English.”
“It’s simple to create a few words on its own, but it’s still far from the variety of Chinese dishes. So President August and I agree that we should create a dictionary for translation.” Gauss said.
“It’s a special dictionary,” Auguste added.”Each word can have more introductions. After it’s made, it can be promoted and released in the name of the world chef’s Union. You don’t have to worry about publicity.”
For example, if the word ‘stinky tofu’ was put into a French dictionary or an English dictionary, it would be impossible to introduce it in a long piece. However, a special dictionary could use one or two pages to explain how to make stinky tofu. This word represented the food of China.
Gauss and August didn’t say anything. As Yuan Zhou became famous in Europe and the United States, the reputation of this specialized dictionary would also rise.
“Yuan, what do you think of this?” Gauss and Auguste looked at Yuan Zhou.
“Mr. Gauss and Mr. Auguste are very thoughtful. I think it’s a good idea.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and couldn’t think of a better way.
“Thank you, Mr. Gauss and Mr. August,” said Yuan Zhou.
“It’s also the purpose of our Alliance of famous chefs to let the Western people know more about foreign cuisines.” “Isn’t that so, President?”Gauss asked.
Auguste nodded, and Gauss continued,””Since this dictionary was written based on your Chinese dishes, Gauss and I named it ‘Yuan dictionary.’”
“Hmm … Would it be easier to understand if it was called the dictionary of Chinese cuisines?” Yuan Zhou asked.
August and Gauss smiled. At the same time, they had a higher opinion of Yuan Zhou’s personality in their hearts.
The ultimate goal of a chef was art. This was the goal of French cuisine, and the common wish of all artists was to leave their names in history, regardless of whether they were Chinese or foreign.
The yuan dictionary was checked by Yuan Zhou, August, and Gauss. There was no doubt that it was a professional.
As China’s international reputation grew, the status of Chinese cuisines would also rise. It was foreseeable that such a dictionary would leave its name in history.
If it were Gauss or Auguste, they would definitely agree without any hesitation when presented with such an opportunity, instead of considering it like Yuan Zhou did.
“Yuan, perhaps you’ve only been in Europe for a short time, so there are some things you don’t know.” “In fact, in Europe and the United States, there are many chefs who pay attention to Chinese cuisine,” explained August.”For example, the chef Jack, who Integrated Chinese cuisine and founded Eastern French cuisine, has written a book called ‘French say Chinese cuisine.’”
In fact, strictly speaking, Jack, who was in his forties, was already a famous chef, but in the eyes of ogyust and Gauss, he was far from it.
“What President August wants to say is that there are books on Chinese cuisine in France, but they have little influence.” “If it’s called a dictionary of Chinese cuisines, then chefs and people who are not interested in Chinese cuisines will definitely not read it,” Gauss said.”The promotion effect will be poor.”
“On the contrary, we can add a subtitle to the yuan dictionary,’dictionary of Chinese cuisines’. In this way, you will be the champion of the bogus world cooking competition and the head chef of the Sino-French exchange. Yuan, your reputation will be greatly improved, and it will be a good driving force for the dictionary. Chefs and people who are not so interested in Chinese cuisines will also buy it.” Gauss said.
Hearing that, Yuan Zhou nodded his head. He had really neglected this aspect.
After the title, genre, and theme were discussed, they began to plan the general content.
The first book of the “Yuan dictionary” was mainly about translating Sichuan cuisine. Gauss and Auguste had discussed that since it was called the yuan dictionary, they would translate it according to the order of the master chef restaurant’s menu.
In the future, two of the three most important research books regarding the master chef Yuan Zhou and the master chef Restaurant had already appeared.
Of the “quotes of grandmasters” compiled by dashi xiujie and this “Yuan dictionary”, the last one appeared the latest after Yuan Zhou’s second cooking exhibition.
Although Yuan Zhou’s second culinary arts Exhibition was also held in Chengdu, it was a Western food exhibition. The whole Western food industry was screaming for help.
Yuan Zhou’s second culinary arts Exhibition had become the peak of Western cuisine, which could never be erased. As for the specific score and the specific shock, it was not revealed for the time being.
Anyway, after shocking Europe and the United States, two biographers wrote the biography of Yuan Zhou. These two were already famous biographers, one Chinese and the other British.
This time, the two of them had worked together to write legend of Yuan Zhou. In terms of artistic achievements, it could be compared to legend of Lincoln and legend of Peter the Great.
Back to the main topic, the discussion lasted for the whole afternoon. Gauss and Auguste left. They had to translate some of the more classic Sichuan dishes, such as: Mapo tofu, boiled fish, spicy chicken …
“I’m busy again. I haven’t practiced my cutting skills for two days in the afternoon.”
Yuan Zhou heaved a sigh. Although time was like a sponge that could always be saved, his schedule was very full.
In the afternoon, he had to go to Carpenter Lian’s place to carve the chess pieces and the chessboard. He also had to hand in the competition form for the world cooking competition.
Finally, Chairman Zhou and marashero would call from time to time about the Sino-French exchange. The last and first communication meeting would be held today.
The communication meeting was originally Yuan Zhou’s idea to complete the first mission of becoming a master. He didn’t expect that the mission would progress to the second one even before the first one was held.
Even so, he could not give up halfway.
Of course, even though it was so busy, master chef Restaurant didn’t panic at all.
During business hours, people could see Yuan Zhou cooking calmly at any time when they entered the restaurant.
This might also be the reason why boxer song an would always come to master chef Restaurant after he finished his punches.
Because he felt at ease.
“Then I’ll use the one hour before bed to read books and half an hour to practice my cutting skills.” Yuan Zhou made an arrangement in the heart.
Strictly speaking, Yuan Zhou’s knife skills could be said to have reached the ceiling for someone who had mastered the three divine beasts crossing and the butcher dismembering an ox knife skills. However, he still had to take time out to practice even when he had no time. This was what it meant to make up for one’s shortcomings with hard work.
Well … It seemed that Yuan Zhou, who had been recognized as a genius by the system, was not clumsy at all.
Then, Yuan Zhou interpreted another sentence: People who are more powerful than you are more hardworking than you.
It was a rainy day. The diligent people still had to sell barbecue, but the lazy people had already fallen asleep. The foodies caught between the lazy and diligent were already in line.
