After the Grand ceremony ended, the guests left in an orderly manner. Cheng Cheng stayed to host the ceremony, so Zheng Jiawei didn’t need to worry about the rest of the things.

“Xiao Ya, what are you planning to do later?” Yuan Zhou was thinking whether he should send Yin ya back to take a rest first.

“Blockhead, you go back first. I’ll help Xiao Ling clean up the ceremony, and then we’ll go to master chef Restaurant for dinner. I’ve already asked for leave in the afternoon.” Yin ya answered.

“Will it be too tiring?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“I’m not tired at all. It’s no big deal. Besides, Xiao Ling is staying to help. ” Yin ya gently pushed Yuan Zhou.”You still have to prepare the ingredients for dinner when you go back. That’s why you don’t want to tire yourself out.”

“I won ‘T. I’ll be going then.”

After thinking for a while, Yuan Zhou felt that he was indeed fine with Zheng Jiawei directing him from behind the scenes. He took a look at the watch that he had specially brought out and found that it was already 4:30.

“Sir, are you going back? I can drive you back.”

No one knew where Cheng zhaomei came from. Yuan Zhou had just bid farewell to Yin ya and planned to take a taxi back when he saw President Cheng’s figure.

“Aren’t you busy? don’t you have to go to the shop?” Yuan Zhou said.

“It’s fine as long as I have my apprentice. I took a day off from work. Don’t worry. Besides, master, I have a question about the jiasha meat in the New Year’s dish.” President Cheng scratched his head and quickly explained the situation clearly.

“Sand meat? Tell me. ” Yuan Zhou said.

“It’s like this, master …” Cheng zhaomei brought Yuan Zhou to the parking lot while voicing her doubts.

While walking, he took out his phone and turned on the voice recording mode, intending to record what his master said later so that he could copy it in his notebook when he went back. Otherwise, he would forget it. This was a habit he had learned from Yuan Zhou.

His gaze turned to the other side, where the biggest winner of the day was.

“Congratulations, head chef Jin, for being able to obtain this honor this year. I wonder if head chef Jin has the time recently to have a match with me?”

Although Kang Hu was disappointed that he didn’t get the trophy, he didn’t have any objections to President Yuan’s choice of people. Therefore, he especially wanted to compare notes with Jin hai to see where he was lacking and to find out what he had missed.

After the crowd dispersed, he immediately squeezed to Jin Hai’s side to attract his attention.

That’s right, it was a crowd. Just after Chairman Cheng announced the end of the award ceremony and saw Yuan Zhou leave, Jin hai was surrounded. There were really three layers of people inside and three layers outside.

Kang Hu’s words immediately ignited the atmosphere.

“I think so too. I wonder when head chef Jin will be free. I’d like to have a friendly match with him too.”

“Let’s study cooking together and improve together. ”

“Next, we can go to the green chef’s Association or some other place to borrow a stove to display our skills. Everyone can compare notes.”

All the young chefs chimed in one after another. There was only one core idea, and that was to witness head chef Jin’s cooking skills.

When Jin hai saw so many chefs being so enthusiastic and Yuan Zhou walking away from him, he could only give up the plan in his heart and start to chat with the chefs.

The chefs might be good at fighting, but they were also good at talking.

Jin hai and the other chefs began to discuss their cooking skills. As they talked, they had a disagreement on a certain dish and decided to try it. Kang Hu brought Jin hai back to the cooking Hall of the young chefs ‘Association to try it together.

Of course, Wanli, Liao Yue, and the others were still cleaning up the stalls in the venue. Although they also wanted to watch and see what kind of cooking skills could make Yuan Zhou look forward to, they still had to deal with the aftermath of the Grand ceremony.

While Jin hai was communicating with the young chefs, Yuan Zhou had already returned to master chef Restaurant and answered Cheng zhaomei’s question.

Zhao Mei had already asked for leave today, so she decided to stay in the shop and help.

Of course, his so-called help didn’t refer to the matter of preparing the dinner for Yuan Zhou. This matter was non-negotiable. Yuan Zhou wouldn’t let anyone help him. President Cheng took a cloth and began to clean the shop, regardless of whether it was clean or not.

Su Ruoyan, who came back one step later, experienced Zhou Jia’s speechlessness.

The first thing Yuan Zhou did when he came back was to go upstairs to wash up and change his clothes. It was almost time to prepare dinner.

“I wonder how aunt Tong is doing?” Yuan Zhou muttered.

It had been almost ten days since boss Tong came back. Except for the day of the welcome banquet, she had only come for dinner three times. The rest of the time, she was visiting her relatives and friends outside and had quite a good time. It was during these few mealtimes that Yuan Zhou discovered the existence of mo Qian.

That’s right. Mo Qian still hadn’t seen boss Tong after so long. At first, he was afraid of coming home, but later, he didn’t dare to show up. It was a typical case of him gathering all his energy in one go and then failing again and again.

However, in order to see boss Tong more often and make up for the gap of more than thirty years, mo Zhao had been having dinner in taoqian road recently. Of course, he had dinner in other restaurants instead of master chef Restaurant. However, these restaurants had one thing in common, which was that they were closer to master chef Restaurant.

In particular, he was often favored by mo Zhao when he visited the restaurant to eat noodles. This was also the reason why Yuan Zhou was able to discover mo Zhao. As for whether boss Tong knew about her, Yuan Zhou was not sure.

Although Yuan Zhou didn’t understand the dispute between mo Qian and boss Tong, he still respected the two of them and wouldn’t interfere casually.

“Head chef Jin is not bad. He has a lot of room for improvement. I wonder if he can grow up like Kang Hu. I can talk to Wanli and let him join the green Chef society. That way, he will have more opportunities to train.” While washing up, Yuan Zhou considered the matter of the Association.

While Yuan Zhou was thinking of Jin hai who had just received the award, Jin hai was also thinking of other things.

“Cooking can not be done behind closed doors. It’s better to communicate more. Chefs these days are so passionate. Only by communicating with each other can we discover more problems. As expected of head chef Yuan. An award has attracted almost all the young chefs here.” Jin hai returned to the hotel he was staying in. He wiped his sweat and sighed with emotion.

Thinking of the matter he wanted to settle, he definitely couldn’t go back tomorrow. Besides, they had agreed to exchange pointers for a few more days. Therefore, Jin hai decided to stay here for a few more days. With Yuan Zhou in Chengdu, he felt that everything was good.

After making up his mind, he took out his phone and made a call.”Dali, I’ll be staying here for a few more days. I’ll leave the business to you. Just cook the dishes that you’re good at. Don’t cook the signature dishes of the restaurant yet. Explain to the customers clearly and wait for me to come back.”

As soon as the call went through, Jin hai started to instruct his apprentice on the other side not to say that there was a problem right after he won the award. He also told his apprentice not to do anything that would tarnish head chef Yuan’s reputation.

“Alright, master. Please be careful.” On the other end of the phone, li Dali agreed very simply.

Li Dali was an orphan who had been learning cooking from Jin hai since he was a child. He had been learning for more than ten years. Although he was still 20 years younger and was not very talented, he could make up for his lack of talent with hard work. He could still cook a few dishes on his own.

Even though Jin hai had won Yuan Zhou’s most anticipated award, he was actually not young anymore. He was already 39 years old this year, much older than Yuan Zhou.

“Should we go there directly, or should we tell them in advance before going?” Jin hai was a little conflicted.

Touching the sandalwood box on the table, Jin hai couldn’t make up his mind. Regardless of the situation or the courtesy, he should pay a visit to Yuan Zhou, not to mention that he had something important to ask.

“Let’s go for lunch tomorrow and ask head chef Yuan about his schedule. There’s not enough time in the morning. It would be bad if head chef Yuan is busy. It should be around noon.” Jin hai thought about it and decided to ask about the situation first.

Now that he had made up his mind, Jin hai intended to rest early. He had made an appointment with Kang Hu and the others to continue the exchange at the green Chef society tomorrow morning. This was another reason why he didn’t set to visit Yuan Zhou in the morning.
