“Are you nervous?” Lu Wei asked when he saw that Kosen was tidying up his chef’s uniform.

“Do you have diarrhea?” Ever since the iron pot was no longer hanging over Kosen’s head, he had started to feel like he was floating.

“…” Lu Wei felt that Kosen was mocking him. He also had some evidence.

“My stomach is fine this time!” Lu Wei said firmly.

“Congratulations, it’s not easy,” Kosen said sincerely.

The two of them were the Twin Stars of Guizhou cuisine and had a good relationship in private. However, Lu Wei felt that Kosen’s congratulations were a little strange.

“Do you think we should serve tea to the master when he comes?” Li Youcai was deep in thought.

Li Youcai had changed his previous image. He had shaved his beard, his hair was trimmed, and he was dressed in a chef’s suit. He looked at least three years younger.

“I don’t think there’s a need. I don’t remember talking about this process before. We have to follow the process Chairman Zhou gave us.” Zeng Youwei was also a little hesitant.

“Senior brother Wang, have you seen master?” The good-looking Luo Qing asked Wang Mingjie curiously.

Luo Qing was a talented female chef who had emerged out of nowhere in Jiangsu cuisine. She was extremely talented and had grown up in a barbaric way. She had not been apprenticed to a famous chef before. After becoming famous for her exquisite cooking, she was apprenticed to hang Tian and could be considered as Hao Cheng’s Senior Sister.

In the competition for Yuan Zhou’s in-name disciple, he had surpassed all the other contestants, including Hao Cheng, and was only slightly inferior to Wang Mingjie.

One should know that Wang Mingjie had only managed to surpass Luo Qing a little after he had made great progress under Yuan Zhou’s guidance. One could imagine the strength of this female chef.

“Master’s temperament is very good, and his cooking skills are very good. ” Wang Mingjie thought for a long time before he answered.

“Yes, yes.” Luo Qing could only nod in agreement.

As for the other cuisines, they naturally had their own characteristics. Everyone knew the advantage of working in a group, so they would always stand together in pairs to form a small group.

“Ta ta ta.”

The sound of footsteps could be heard. Everyone nervously tidied up their chef’s uniform and looked up at the door. They saw that it was president Cheng zhaomei with a serious face.

“Greetings, eldest senior brother!”

The moment the fourteen people present saw President Cheng’s figure, they immediately shouted in unison with great tacit understanding.

This aura was very good. It was like a gangster calling him big brother.

“Master is about to arrive.” Cheng zhaomei raised her head, puffed out her chest, and sucked in her stomach. Her expression was quite serious, imitating Yuan Zhou’s expression.

Cheng zhaomei first looked at the layout of the podium and asked the staff next to her about the process to ensure that there would be no mistakes.

The venue’s decorations were solemn.

“From today on, I’m also a chef of the yuan school.” Luo Qing muttered.

Wang Mingjie was thinking that his father, Wang Huai, had given him an order to learn nine percent Jiangsu cuisine. He should be able to do it, right?

With his eyes fixed on the main character, Yuan Zhou came to the hall of the chef’s Association and the first person he saw was Zhong Lili.

“Good Morning, head chef Yuan.” As soon as Zhong Lili saw Yuan Zhou, she went up and greeted him.

“Hello, Secretary Zhong. Are we going to the meeting room directly or Chairman Zhou’s office first?” Yuan Zhou was quite clear about public and private affairs.

“The president said to go directly to the conference room. He’s waiting there.” While answering, Zhong Lili led Yuan Zhou to the elevator.

Seeing that, Yuan Zhou didn’t say much and just followed Zhong Lili into the elevator.

“Do you need me to help you hold it?” Zhong Lili saw Yuan Zhou bring a big bag, which was rarely seen, over.

“No, it’s not heavy.” Yuan Zhou carried the seemingly heavy bag with one hand and appeared to be quite relaxed.

“Ding!”

The elevator soon reached the floor where the conference room was.

“Uncle Zhou,” Yuan Zhou greeted her.

“Hurry up and go.” Zhou Shijie nodded his head.

Yuan Zhou wanted to call Zhou Shijie to go with him, but the latter said,”You’re the only protagonist today, so I won’t enter the venue with you, little Yuan.

“Just wait and see. Today is the day that China’s cooking altar will ascend to a higher level.” Zhou Shijie said while looking at Yuan Zhou’s back.

“I still want to go and take a look.”

Therefore, Zhou Shijie, the chairman of the chef’s Association, followed Yuan Zhou and Zhong Lili silently like a thief in the headquarters.

Yuan Zhou hadn’t arrived yet, but there was already a group of people waiting for him.

On an important occasion, Cheng zhaomei was dressed in a chef’s suit and standing at the door of the meeting room with her back straight. She was looking at the elevator with bright eyes and waiting for Yuan Zhou to appear.

“From today onwards, I will be the Big Brother. I have to do three things with all my energy. The first is to follow master’s footsteps and follow Master’s words. The second is to study cooking and defend the status and honor of the Big Brother with my life. The third is to be a good example and take care of my junior brothers and sisters so that master doesn’t have to worry about me.” Although Cheng zhaomei stood straight and had a serious expression, her heart was not calm.

“Ta ta ta”

The clear and melodious sound of footsteps was very clear in the quiet corridor. Master Cheng pulled back his thoughts and paid attention to the front.

In the next moment, Yuan Zhou’s signature handsome face was revealed.

“Good day, head chef Yuan!”

The chefs, who were still in a commotion, spoke in unison. Their actions were in unison, as if they had practiced it.

“En, nice to meet you guys.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Before Yuan Zhou left, master Cheng followed him and the rest of the chefs followed behind him. They were very harmonious and didn’t need to rehearse.

The distance from the door to the rostrum wasn’t long. Even if Yuan Zhou didn’t deliberately speed up, he still arrived at the place very quickly.

The first thought that came to the head chef’s mind when he caught sight of Yuan Zhou’s side face was,”master is really too young. He already has such excellent cooking skills at such a young age.”

The in-name disciple selection this time included the younger ones such as Luo Qing and ke Sen, the slightly older ones such as Zeng Youwei and Li Youcai, and the middle ones such as Wang Mingjie. However, without exception, all of them were famous chefs of their respective cuisines.

Standing on the rostrum, Yuan Zhou suddenly sighed with emotion when he saw the 14 chefs standing in a line like obedient babies.

He would try his best to make these people in front of him become the pillars of support for each cuisines.

There were strict rules to acknowledge a master. Some of them said that one had to pay respects to the ancestors. After entering the ancestral hall, one had to kneel and kowtow.

There were also those that had family inheritances, such as the apprenticeship of the four great Royal chefs. It was even more complicated. Not to mention the others, just the apprenticeship banquet prepared by master Cheng alone took more than a month.

However, he was only an in-name disciple today, so there weren’t many procedures.

“Next, the famous Asian chef Yuan will officially begin his recruitment of in-name disciples.” Zhong Lili said and then gave the stage to him.

“Hello, everyone. I’m yuan Zhou.”

Yuan Zhou looked around and said,”for now, I’m quite good at Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Jiangsu cuisine, Guizhou cuisine, Yunnan cuisine, and Shandong cuisine. I can give you a lot of suggestions and experience.”

“In the future, you will learn from me and continue to work hard to improve your cooking skills. If you have any problems, you can look for Zhao Mei or me. These are the gifts I have prepared for you. Come and take them later.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the big bag that had been placed on the table.

Look at what he said. Yuan Zhou who had good culinary skills?
