“That’s all the ingredients I’ve prepared,” Yuan Zhou blocked Wu Hai from the source.

Guo penghao and Lei di also wanted to eat more, but they didn’t agree with Wu Hai. After all, it was already difficult enough for Yuan Zhou to restore the dish. If they made any more requests, they would be pushing it.

“Thank you for your hospitality today, head chef Yuan. You have helped me fulfill my long-cherished wish. I am very grateful.” Guo penghao spoke up to smooth things over, pulling the topic back.

“This is the first dish that I couldn’t figure out how to cook after eating it.” Lei ti said.

Yuan Zhou nodded his head and accepted the compliment humbly. He also told Lei ti that he could tell him directly if there were any other dishes that he wasn’t sure of.

After all, the theme of the second exhibition had been decided, and they had to consciously develop in that direction.

Opportunities were reserved for those who were prepared!

“This is the process of restoring this dish, but I left a copy of the information in my file. I hope you don’t mind.” Yuan Zhou took out a notebook and handed it to Guo penghao.

Basically, when Yuan Zhou cooked, he would record every step from the beginning. It was only now that the number of notes on the dishes on the menu had gradually decreased. However, every time he improved his cooking skills, he would still take notes.

“I don’t mind, I don’t mind.” Guo penghao showed a happy smile.

He didn’t expect that there would be such an unexpected surprise. Most importantly, he didn’t expect that Yuan Zhou would give him the notebook. It was like a meat pie falling from the sky.

There were really too few people like Yuan Zhou who had a broad mind and good cooking ethics.

“Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Guo penghao bowed solemnly.

Yuan Zhou waved his hand and appeared quite calm. After seeing off the extremely excited Guo penghao and Lei ti, Yuan Zhou turned around and looked at Wu Hai who was still sitting there, saying,””It’s not business time yet. ”

“I just want to see my nephew and the others.” After saying that, Wu Hai walked towards the back door. Obviously, he really thought so.

Yuan Zhou didn’t pay attention to him. He directly went upstairs to wash up and change his clothes, intending to prepare the ingredients for lunch.

Time passed by, and soon, it was time for the Gaogou conference.

Probably out of respect, Chengdu, which had been rainy for the past two days, finally showed a sunny smile. It was early in the morning.

The Gaogou gathering was always held according to Yuan Zhou’s schedule. Moreover, it was held near Taoxi road, which was specially prepared by Xu ban and the others.

From 9:30 am to 11:00 am, and from 2:30 pm to 5:00 pm, these two periods were very convenient. Each time period was not particularly long, and even the older ones could sit still.

“Master, are you ready? we’re leaving.” Cheng zhaomei rarely came to the shop.

Recently, apart from the time when she had to check Yuan Zhou’s homework, she had basically disappeared from the restaurant and appeared to be very busy.

“Alright, let’s go.” Yuan Zhou was dressed in the sky blue Han Chinese traditional clothing and appeared quite solemn.

The two of them walked very fast. It was only a ten-minute distance from the restaurant to the meeting place.

“Are you having any difficulties recently? if you have any, you can tell me.” Yuan Zhou asked with concern.

Recently, he had also noticed Cheng zhaomei’s irregular busy life and thought she had encountered some difficulties. As his direct disciple, Yuan Zhou was quite concerned about her.

“It’s fine, master. There’s something that the Association needs to make a decision on recently, so we’ve been holding more meetings. ” Cheng zhaomei spoke vaguely and did not say it clearly.

“That’s good. ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.

He respected everyone’s privacy very much. Since Cheng zhaomei didn’t want to talk about it, Yuan Zhou didn’t ask any more questions as long as there were no more questions.

The two of them soon arrived at their destination.

“Hello, President.” Wan Li and Xu ban were standing at the door to welcome the customers. When they saw Yuan Zhou, they went up to him.

“Almost everyone’s here.” Yuan Zhou asked.

“It’s almost time. We’re starting in 15 minutes. Do you need to rest, President?” Xu ban asked.

Yuan Zhou came here directly after opening the restaurant. Therefore, Xu ban and Wan Li had specially prepared a small lounge for emergencies.

Before Yuan Zhou could answer, he was interrupted by a burst of noise at the door. When he turned around, the first thing he saw was the wheelchair.

Sitting on top was a spirited old man. He had silver hair, a face full of wrinkles, and a very thin figure. He was a man who had been through a lot.

Yuan Zhou wasn’t very familiar with him, but Zhou Shijie was following him, which clearly explained the problem.

“Uncle Zhou, why are you here? and this is?” Yuan Zhou walked up to him quickly.

“Little Yuan, this is Chen Zhongwen. Old Mr. Chen, a Zhejiang cuisine dingding.” Zhou Shijie took a step forward and introduced in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, the old man had sharp ears and said directly,””Little Zhou, don’t talk nonsense. That was so many years ago. It’s not worth mentioning.”

“Oh, it’s the famous Fish King. I’m very happy to meet you, head chef Chen.” Yuan Zhou slightly bent his waist to show his respect.

Yuan Zhou had heard of Chen Zhongwen’s great name from many sources in the circle of chefs. He was a well-known fish expert. However, he had been extinct in the cooking circle for more than ten years. According to the legend, it was because of his poor health.

Now that he saw the old man in person, Yuan Zhou believed that he was indeed not in good health, but not bad. However, the old man was indeed not young anymore. He remembered that he seemed to be in his 90s.

“Head chef Yuan, you are too polite. This old man is here today to attend the meeting. Is it time? let’s go.” The old man had a Swift and decisive personality. As he spoke, he got up from the wheelchair and walked straight ahead.

Sitting in a wheelchair was just to make everyone feel at ease. Now that they had arrived, they naturally had to walk on their legs. Otherwise, it would be too outrageous.

“Head chef Chen, are you here to attend the meeting too?” Yuan Zhou was a little surprised.

“That’s right. My grand-disciple helped to raise the question online. It can’t be invalid, right?” Chen Zhongwen looked at Yuan Zhou with a slightly guarded expression.

“No, one question means that there’s no problem with one person participating. It’s in line with the rules.” Yuan Zhou said directly.

“That’s good. I’m the only representative.” Chen Zhongwen ignored the three or four people behind him.

“Little Yuan, you’re busy. I’ll go back first. I’ll leave the old man to you.” Zhou Shijie let out a sigh of relief.

This old man was a treasure. He was considered the oldest chef in the cooking realm and a Living Treasure. However, his character was hard to describe in a few words. Zhou Shijie only received the news about this meeting when he arrived in Chengdu.

“Okay, I understand, uncle Zhou. Don’t worry.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he understood.

They followed Chen Zhongwen into the meeting room. There were 57 people in total. The meeting room that wasn’t full in the previous two years was now filled with people. At first, everyone was whispering to each other. However, after Grandpa Chen and Yuan Zhou came in one after another, they gradually quieted down.

After looking around, Yuan Zhou saw no less than 10 familiar faces. They were the customers who had been to his restaurant frequently during this period. He had a good memory and could remember them once he saw them.

For example, Bai Lang and Huang Cai were still sitting near the podium.

An old man in his 50s followed Grandpa Chen into the restaurant. When he passed by Yuan Zhou, he said,””Head chef Yuan, I also have an invitation letter.”
