On the other side, Yuan Zhou was busy preparing lunch for the customers. His hands were moving quickly and messily. With the attention of his fangirl, he felt that his movements were a little faster. Of course, the most important thing was definitely the taste.
One could tell just by looking at the satisfied smiles on the faces of the customers during lunchtime.
“It’s simply a delicacy. Rong city is the most suitable place for me to grow up. I grew up barbarically!”
Su Mei picked up a meatball without any sauce and put it in her mouth. A burnt smell immediately spread in her mouth. As she bit down, rich gravy immediately swept through her mouth, bringing a feast of taste.
Her big Starry Eyes narrowed slightly, and her intoxicated look was like a little hamster who finally ate cheese, which was particularly cute.
She couldn’t wait to pick up another one and put it into her mouth. Su Mei felt that the best decision she had made in her life was probably to grow up in the fertile land of Chengdu.
On the other side, Li Youcai and Zeng Youwei’s mobility was amazing. In the morning, they were still jumping around in Dian province, but by noon, they had already arrived at Shuangliu Airport. They could be considered to have set foot on the land of Chengdu.
“Do you think we should go over now or at night?” Li Youcai was dragging a small suitcase, and his chubby face looked a little conflicted.
He was already in his fifties, and probably because he was growing a little too fast, time seemed to have passed a little faster on him. His hair was already white, but he was still chubby, so he should still be in good health.
“I think we can go there now. We’re lucky to have booked a homestay on Taoxi road.” Zeng Youwei said that if they were considered lucky to have booked a room online at a higher price, then the two of them were really lucky.
“Put down your luggage and head over. It’s almost lunchtime. It’s just nice that you don’t need to take up any of head chef Yuan’s other time. It should be just right.”
Compared to Li Youcai, Zeng Youwei had a much better plan. He raised his hand to look at his watch and found that it was almost oneo’ clock. If he waited for a while, it would be almost time for master chef restaurant’s lunch service to end.
After all, Yuan Zhou’s work and rest schedule was really too transparent. It was definitely a basic operation to cooperate with the schedule when one came to visit Yuan Zhou.
A visit had to look like a visit.
Li Youcai and Zeng Youwei had held knives together since they were young. Even if the two had disputes, they had never fought each other, so their relationship was quite good. The key was that every time they went out, it was always arranged by Zeng Youwei.
“Then let’s do this. Let’s go.” Li Youcai was excited. Perhaps there would be a result to the endless debate.
In fact, Li Youcai and Zeng Youwei’s mode of travel was more normal for friends. One person was responsible for finding a strategy, the rest were responsible for “let’s go”, one was responsible for booking the hotel, the rest were responsible for “that’s it”, one was responsible for setting the travel schedule, and the rest were responsible for “reasonable arrangements.”
To put it simply, Zeng Youwei had arranged for Li Youcai to be a salted fish.
The time had reached 1:30. There was still half an hour before lunch time ended. Su Mei had already finished eating and left to give it to the others.
When su Ruoyan was beckoning for the next batch of customers, she noticed that there were two more people by the door.
Seeing su Ruoyan smiling at them, if it wasn’t for her courage and the fact that they were in master chef Restaurant, she would have thought that she had encountered a human trafficker. Looking at her enthusiastic smile, she was as enthusiastic as a weasel paying a New Year’s visit to a chicken.
She recalled that it was mentioned in the notebook that Zhou Jia’s sister left for her that many people would come to find the boss during the business hours, but they would wait outside the door until the business hours were over. However, she had to pay attention to whether they were reporters who sneaked in so as not to disturb the boss’s study of cooking skills.
Thinking of this, su Ruoyan once again discreetly sized up the two of them. One was short and fat, while the other was skinny. They were both wearing the same black down jacket and were not very tall. They looked to be in their fifties or sixties and could not possibly be reporters. At their age, they probably could not run all over the news.
Su Ruoyan let down her guard and no longer paid special attention. Instead, she focused on serving and ordering the food for the customers.
That’s right. Standing outside the door were Li Youcai and Zeng Youwei, who had already put away their luggage. Today was Wednesday, and the journey from the airport to Taoxi road was smooth and unobstructed. It only took them half an hour to arrive. The two of them were extremely lucky.
After putting down the things and washing their faces, they tidied up their appearance and then came to the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. The business time had not ended yet. After a discussion, the two of them waited by the door. As a sign of respect to Yuan Zhou, they sat upright on the long bench.
Yuan Zhou also noticed the two brothers with such distinctive features. They didn’t look like customers. Could they be chefs?
It was no wonder that Yuan Zhou didn’t know them. If it were any other famous chef, Yuan Zhou would have had some impression of them. However, Zeng Youwei and Li Youcai were famous for not liking to take photos. They were similar to the gambling God played by brother fa. Of course, the nature of the two was completely different.
It was lunchtime and he didn’t have time to think too much about it. Yuan Zhou gathered his thoughts and continued to immerse himself in cooking.
Time passed by, and soon, lunchtime was over. It was exactly twoo’ clock, not a minute more, not a second less.
“Lunch time is over. Please come earlier for dinner.” Yuan Zhou walked out of the partition and saw the last customer off.
“Boss, do you need me to stay behind to serve you some tea?” Su Ruoyan tidied up the tables and chairs and looked at the fat and skinny duo who were still standing outside the door.
“No, you can get off work.” Yuan Zhou said.
“Then, goodbye, boss.” Su Ruoyan nodded to show that she understood.
“Head chef Yuan, sorry for disturbing you.” Seeing that there was no one else in the restaurant, Li Youcai immediately walked into the restaurant with Zeng Youwei, without the need for Yuan Zhou to go out and ask.
“Good day, you two.” Yuan Zhou said. He could be sure of that just by listening to the appellation.
After entering the restaurant, the two people introduced themselves first. Only then did Yuan Zhou connect the two names Li Youcai and Zeng Youwei with the two old men in front of him, one fat and one thin.
“Oh, it’s head chef li and head chef Zeng. The Dian provincial banquet delicacies made by the two of you at the gift ceremony of Dian cuisine spilling over the world are still fresh in my memory.” Yuan Zhou said.
Diancai cuisines spread all over the world. It could be regarded as the 20th anniversary of the new diancai cuisines. It was also the most glorious moment of Li Youcai and Zeng Youwei’s lives. However, when these words came out of Yuan Zhou’s mouth, they felt especially honored.
The key was that China was a large country with many delicious foods. Although there weren’t many chefs who could be called famous chefs in the world of cooking, there must be a lot of them with so many cuisines. The fact that Yuan Zhou was able to point out their highlights in one go proved that he had paid attention to them before. Thinking of this, Zeng Youwei and Li Youcai felt happy in their hearts.
It was also this wonderful misunderstanding that made Zeng Youwei and Li Youcai become Yuan Zhou’s first and second in-name disciples. Of course, this was only the matter of the second communication meeting.
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Zeng Youwei went straight to the point,””We’ve taken the liberty to disturb you this time because we have a question to ask head chef Yuan. We hope we won’t disturb you.”
“No, the opening hours have passed. Head chef li, head chef Zeng, this way please.”
Yuan Zhou welcomed famous chefs to have a cooking exchange at any time. He took the two of them to the Sakura shrimp wall and planned to go to the small courtyard.
This way, it would be more convenient to discuss cooking or anything else.
