Chapter 1229 - Zhang Ye gets angry

"I think so too. This matter is inappropriate." Chen Zhou shook his head.

"That's true. We didn't want to mess with head chef Yuan's battle with a chef from another province last time. But now, we can't just go and find him directly. After all, his skills are top-notch." Yang Rui said with a difficult expression.

"That's what you say, but are we just going to let it go?" Qian Yun frowned.

"Definitely not. According to the rules, you should choose other flavors of Sichuan cuisine to win, just like in the past. That's how the exemplary restaurant selection was done in the past." Zhou da said.

"President Zhang, you've done too badly this time." Yang Rui agreed upon hearing this.

In fact, it was just as the four of them had said. For the Sichuan cuisine exemplary restaurant selection, all the participating restaurants and the ones that won the award had avoided the spicy and numbing flavor.

It was because of the inheritance of Sichuan cuisines that this was the first time that someone had won the title of exemplary restaurant with the numbing and spicy dishes.

This matter was indeed nothing to ordinary people or the media, but it was a challenge to the knowledge of the older generation of Sichuan cuisine chefs.

However, Zhou da, Yang Rui, Qian Yun, and Chen Zhou were the most dissatisfied with this result.

However, Yuan Zhou had been constantly facing other challenges, such as the Shanghai chef from the small eatery. Others might not know this, but they did.

There was also the seafood Alliance, the ice sculpting competition, and the cooked Wheaten food industry. The most recent opportunity Yuan Zhou had was the challenge of three provinces.

However, as chefs of Sichuan cuisine, they naturally had to unite. No matter what happened, they had to wait until the chefs from Yun province and GUI province were defeated before they could talk behind closed doors.

In short, they could not have any conflicts in front of others.

"Since we all think so, why don't we go and meet President Zhang?" Zhou da was the first to suggest.

"That's a good idea. Let's go directly to President Zhang." Yang Rui was the first to agree.

"Sure, just drive my car there." Qian Yun immediately stood up and said.

"I'm also opening today, so I'll take old Chen. " Zhou da turned his head to look at Chen Zhou.

"Alright, it's good to go and ask." Chen Zhou nodded and also stood up.

The four elderly people, who were about 200 years old in total, were no slower than the young people. Soon, they drove two cars to the Sichuan cuisine chef's Association.

With the qualifications of these four people, it was not a problem for them to directly meet Zhang Ye.

The Sichuan cuisine Association and the chef's Alliance would never be in the same place or in the same area.

The four of them drove for 40 minutes before they arrived at the Sichuan cuisine Association. The Sichuan cuisine Association was not a building but a resort-like place.

The address was in the suburbs of Chengdu. There was a big sign outside the gate that read "Sichuan cuisine chef Association". The two red iron gates were closed, and there was a sentry post at the gate. After entering, there was a large courtyard with several cars parked inside.

Zhang Ye's car was among them. It was obvious that Zhang Ye was in the Association.

The four of them directly showed their senior chef's certificate, then said that they were here to see President Zhang, and were let through by the guard.

After all, the four of them had advanced chef's licenses. If it were any other chef's licenses, it wouldn't be that easy to get in.

"I see President Zhang's car. He's here." Zhou da pointed at Zhang Yan's Black car and said.

"Let's go,"he said. Yang Rui got off the car.

After that, they got out of the car and walked towards the row of buildings in front.

The courtyard was right in front of them. There were parking lots inside. In front of them was a row of two-story buildings in the shape of a Chinese character. Although the buildings were not tall, they were built in a very Sichuan style.

It was high in the front and low in the back, and it blended in well with the hills and rivers behind the house, blending in with the surrounding nature. Because most of the roof was made of wood and gray tiles, the appearance was simple, and the main door was a modern automatic glass sliding door, which gave it a modern atmosphere.

The building was originally based on the idea of Sichuan cuisine itself. It followed the tradition and constantly created new things that were closer to life. This was the goal of modern Sichuan cuisine.

The few of them were considered frequent visitors of the Association. After all, they would still come here for a few meetings a year. Hence, they did not waste any time and went straight to Zhang Ye's office.

The four of them arrived at Zhang Yan's office without a hitch.

Zhang Yan's office was much bigger than Zhou Shijie 's. One side was for the office while the other side was for receiving guests. The office was divided into two areas.

"What's wrong? Why are you all looking for me together? what's the matter?" Zhang Ji stood up and led the four of them to the reception area.

There were large leather sofas on both sides of the reception area, and four people could easily sit in a row. The sofas opposite were of the same shape, and in the middle was a coffee table, on which was the steaming tea that the Secretary had just brought in.

There were also two single sofas on both sides, so it could be said to be very big.

"I do have something to discuss with you, President." Yang Rui was the first to speak.

"What good news?" Zhang Ji was still very kind to his own people and asked with a smile.

When Zhang Ye said that, the four of them looked at each other and did not say a word.

"Let's sit down first," Zhang Yan greeted.

The few of them then took their seats. Zhou da sat on the single sofa alone, while the other three sat on the large sofa.

Zhang Ji sat across from them, waiting for them to speak.

"We're here to ask about the exemplary restaurant this year." Chen Zhou said.

"Don't we have the practice of not choosing a restaurant that is rated as spicy?" Zhou da continued.

"Although the award ceremony has been going on for two months, we only found a chance to ask about it now. Head chef Yuan is really too busy." Qian Yun explained the reason for his question.

"What's wrong? Do you have any objections?" Zhang Ji raised his eyebrows and said in a subtle tone.

"It's not that we have any opinions about the evaluation committee's decision. It's just that Chairman Zhang, you also know that this spicy dish has already ruined the reputation of many Sichuan cuisines. This time, it was even awarded to such a restaurant ..." Zhou da did not finish his sentence, but his meaning was very clear. This was not appropriate.

"Do you really think that Yuan Zhou only knows how to make numbing and spicy dishes?" Zhang Ye said.

"Since they're using numbing and spicy to judge, it's natural that numbing and spicy are the best." Qian Yun muttered.

Of course, he would do whatever he was good at to participate in the selection of the exemplary restaurant. He wouldn't use something he wasn't good at.

"Is that what you all think?" Zhang Ji asked the four of them.

Although the four of them didn't say anything, their expressions showed that they agreed with what Qian Yun had just said.

"Foolish! To think that little Yuan isn't like you guys. " Zhang Ye immediately started scolding,"do you guys think that little Yuan only knows how to make spicy food?" Wrong. No matter which Sichuan cuisine it is, no matter it's shanghebang, xiaohebang, or mansion cuisine, there's nothing that little Yuan doesn't know. "

"It's the dish of boiled cabbage that has become the most famous dish in the world. Little Yuan cooked it with ease. It's a piece of cake. I'm afraid you guys must have been blinded by feces to think that little Yuan is good at numbing and spicy." Zhang Ye said without any trace of politeness.

The few of them were rendered speechless by Zhang Ji's harsh words and didn't have the time to reply.

"Let me tell you another fact. Ever since little Yuan won the exemplary restaurant of Sichuan cuisine, people have learned that Sichuan cuisine isn't just numbing and spicy!" Zhang Ye said in a powerful voice.
