Chapter 1701: Guangfu soup

Translator: 549690339 

Zhou Shijie, Zhang Yan, even Wang Huai and Mr. MA all believed that Yuan Zhou’s Qi-maintaining skills were at the Grandmaster level.

As a matter of fact, Yuan Zhou’s ability to maintain his composure was not as good as his culinary skills. However, the reason for this was that his culinary skills were too high and too strong.

Just like the fighting strength of a certain bald man, Yuan Zhou had never lost to him since he started cultivating.

To be honest, due to the teachings of Zhou Shijie and some other Masters and the fact that he had truly fallen in love with cooking, Yuan Zhou’s magnanimity and self-restraint could now be considered to be at the level of a master.

Not to mention others, just the fact that Yuan Zhou didn’t have any sectarian bias and would guide anyone had already surpassed many chefs.

The next day, Yuan Zhou got up early, ran in the morning, and then prepared breakfast as usual.

After the breakfast time ended, Yuan Zhou called Zheng Jiawei and Cheng Cheng.

The former was very easy to communicate with. When Yuan Zhou expressed his thoughts, Zheng Jiawei not only could quickly answer him, but also provided some useful suggestions.

As for the latter,

“Master, are you looking for my dad?” This was the first thing Cheng Cheng said when he received the call.

“Could it be that my dad is in seclusion again, so Grandmaster can’t find him and called me?” Cheng Han toot and guessed.

“But it shouldn’t be. My dad has saved Grandmaster’s number as a special attention, so even if it’s on silent mode, he can still pick up your number.” The sound of Cheng Cheng’s footsteps came from the other end of the phone. It seemed that he was guessing while taking the phone to find master Cheng.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou didn’t say a word, but Cheng Han had already said the above three lines.

Yuan Zhou remained silent for a while and then said directly,””I’m here for you. ”

On the other end of the phone, Cheng Han realized that he had spoken too much and felt a little awkward. He coughed twice and stopped in his tracks to ease the awkwardness.”Is there anything I can help you with, Grand Master?”

“Yuan restaurant, and the food review website. Are you managing them, Xiao Ling?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“That’s right. ” Cheng Cheng nodded, then reported the operating status of the two websites in a very familiar manner.

As a website that mainly left messages, shared information, and ridiculed people, Yuan Zhou’s restaurant had good traffic. As for the food review website, it had become the most authoritative food review website in the country. Countless old customers would share their findings on the website. It was already a habit for foodies to find good restaurants on Yuan Zhou’s food review website when they traveled to a certain place.

Without Yuan Zhou’s knowledge, many big companies were waving their cash to buy this website. However, they were all stopped by Jiang Changxi. After all, Queen Jiang had also invested in this website.

Yuan Zhou told Cheng Cheng the General Plan after the discussion with Zheng Jiawei. Her first reaction was to open her eyes wide.

“Grandmaster, do we need to make such a big move to promote Cantonese cuisine this time?” she asked anxiously.

Yuan Zhou’s plan was very simple. He planned to hold an organized vote with the theme of “the most popular choice of the master chef restaurant’s Cantonese cuisine soup.”

No matter if you logged into the food review website or Yuan Dian tan, you could vote for your favorite Cantonese soup. Each IP only had one vote.

Why was the goal soup? speaking of Cantonese cuisine, the most well-known ones were Cantonese snacks and old fire soup.

It couldn’t be helped. People of Yuan Zhou’s generation often watched movies and TV shows about boiling soup and a pile of delicious Cantonese snacks in the morning.

It was just that Yuan Zhou had made the Suzhou shipping station a few days ago and the pastry gathering had been on the news for quite a while. Although the Cantonese dim sum and the shipping station were two completely different things, there might be some repetition of the first impression.

Hence, Cantonese soup was the best choice.

Old fire soup, a more written name should be Guangfu soup, created by the people of Guangfu and carried forward.

There was a saying,”it’s better to eat without vegetables than to eat without soup.” This soup was Guangfu soup.

The event would last for a week. After the event ended, the soup with the most votes would enjoy a 50% discount for half a month in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant.

That’s right, he didn’t mishear it. Half a month of continuous discount.

Other than the price, master chef Restaurant had always been ridiculed by big foodies. No matter if it was Valentine’s Day, the traditional Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, or any other Festival, master chef Restaurant would never offer discounts.

Just like what the netizens said,”boss Yuan will always be waiting for you here in the storm.” “US gold will go down, and the house price will go down. Master chef Restaurant will never offer discounts.”

According to the Chronicle written by Wang Hong, up to the fourth volume, the master chef Restaurant had only offered three discounts. The first was a 12% discount when the restaurant had just opened, and the second was a 10% discount. The most recent discount was when the master chef Restaurant was listed.

No matter which of these three times, there would always be a sea of people, not to mention this time it was a 50% discount. Although it was only one dish, one could completely imagine the enthusiasm of the customers.

That was why Cheng Cheng’s first reaction was to ask if there was a need to go so far.

“Don’t worry, master. I promise to complete this task. I have a friend who is Marshal Tianpeng. If I can’t let this news go viral on the internet within three days, I … I won’t be able to find a boyfriend in the future. ” Cheng Cheng was full of fighting spirit as he made a military pledge.

Yuan Zhou really wanted to tell Cheng Hao not to raise such a flag. After all, Cheng Hao hadn’t been in a serious relationship even once. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it wasn’t very good to say that. Therefore, he could only respond with silence.

After saying that, Yuan Zhou hung up the phone. Cheng Han was deeply influenced by her father. As long as Yuan Zhou didn’t hang up the phone on his own initiative, she wouldn’t hang up.

Since it was an activity proposed by Yuan Zhou, all the expenses and labor would be borne by Yuan Zhou. Therefore, Yuan Zhou transferred the money to Zheng Jiawei and Cheng Han. This was his usual way of doing things.

Strictly speaking, this promotion activity wasn’t an official activity. However, Yuan Zhou still informed Zhou Shijie and Song Ming that his status had been promoted to that position.

As the chairman of the chef’s Association, Zhou Shijie was definitely in full support of Yuan Zhou’s promotion. However, as a famous chef of Shandong cuisine, Zhou Shijie had some other thoughts.

What he was thinking about was naturally how to make Yuan Zhou interested in the Lu cuisine.

“Little Yuan, what do you think of the Lu cuisine?” Zhou Shijie answered his own question,”our Lu cuisines can be said to have the longest history. Moreover, our cuisines have the best foundation. Little Yuan, if you have any thoughts about Lu cuisines, you must tell me.”

“Uh … I don’t have any thoughts. I’m also very interested in Lu cuisine.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“Since you don’t have any ideas, why hasn’t your master chef Restaurant served Shandong cuisine for so long?” Zhou Shijie asked over the phone.

Speaking of which, Zhou Shijie had been wanting to ask this question for a long time. He didn’t mention Sichuan cuisine at the beginning. After all, Yuan Zhou was from Sichuan.

Then, there was nothing to say about Yunnan cuisine and Guizhou cuisine. The geographical locations of Yunnan Province and Guizhou Province were the closest to Sichuan Province. This was something that could not be changed.

But why were the dishes from Guangdong and Jiangsu also ranked ahead of the dishes from Shandong? Chairman Zhou had calculated that the distance between Chengdu and Shunde was more than 1600 kilometers!

After hearing Yuan Zhou’s plan to publicize the Cantonese cuisine, Chairman Zhou finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

Among them, Zhou Shijie had never thought about whether Yuan Zhou knew how to cook Shandong cuisine.

After all, in Zhou Shijie’s opinion, there was nothing Yuan Zhou didn’t know.

Faced with the hidden bitterness in Chairman Zhou’s words, Yuan Zhou really didn’t know how to answer him. He could only force himself to say,””I’m already thinking about Lu cuisine. ”

“Really?” Zhou Shijie was delighted.

“Yes. Lu cuisines are mainly divided into five branches-Southwest of Lu, the Kong family, Jiaodong, Boshan, and Jinan. I’m currently studying the Kong family cuisines.” Yuan Zhou wasn’t bluffing.

Yuan Zhou had already started to absorb cooking knowledge on his own. After studying the existing ancient books, Yuan Zhou had already started to study and eat the Kong Fu dishes.

“That’s good. I’m relieved to have you in Lu cuisine. ” Zhou Shijie hung up the phone contentedly.

Compared to Zhou Shijie, Song Ming was so happy that he jumped up and down after hearing the news.

Of course, Song Ming restrained himself. After all, he was the chairman of the Cantonese cuisine Association, so he had to be steady.

“President song, what’s the matter that made you so happy?” Li He, the Executive Vice President of the Cantonese cuisine Association, smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum when he saw Song Ming receiving a call.

“Ahem.” Song Ming coughed dryly.”It’s nothing much. Head chef Yuan has prepared an event to promote our Cantonese cuisine.”

Li He didn’t ask who head chef Yuan was. There were many chefs with the surname Yuan in the country, but there was only one person who could make song Ming call him head chef.

Song Ming then told Li He the general content of the event.

Li He instantly realized that this was a great opportunity.””If this event was held by other chefs, no one would come out. However, the probability is different if it’s held by head chef Yuan. Do we need to cooperate?”

“There’s no need for that. Head chef Yuan has planned this event because he doesn’t want it to be too official.” “Most importantly, head chef Yuan is also the honorary Vice President of the Cantonese cuisine Association,” Song Ming said.

Li He nodded to show that he understood, and said,””Then, do we really not need the Association to send an official letter of thanks?”

“Of course not. Yuan Zhou is also a member of our Association,” Song Ming repeated this sentence again, and then after a while, he said,””I heard that head chef Yuan likes ancient books. I’ve prepared a present for head chef Yuan’s birthday.”

Many years later, the number one ancient books Museum in the world, Yuan Zhou’s cooking ancient books Museum, would be established. And the ancient books in the museum would be collected bit by bit in this way.
