Chapter 1632: The little secret of the system?

Chapter 1632: The little secret of the system?

With Yin ya around, Zhou Jia would definitely have no problem. Yuan Zhou thought for a while,””Xiaoya will definitely be a good mother in the future.”

Yuan Zhou felt that it would be better to give birth to a pair of twins. The boy would take his surname and the girl would take Yin ya’s surname.

After resting for a short while, Wang Jike came as promised, followed by a long line of little tails, Huang Fei, Liu Li, Hao Cheng, and Wang Qiang.

“Head chef Wang, did you rest well yesterday?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“I had a good rest. I’ll have to trouble you today, head chef Yuan.” Wang Jike said with a pleasant face.

“It’s no trouble at all. I’ve always wanted to communicate with chef Hu. Shall we start now?” Yuan Zhou said.

“Alright,” he said. Wang Jike liked this kind of straightforward attitude, where he spent all his time on cooking.

Tiger Chef, pillar chef, and Pearl chef. Although these three titles did not have any awards and were only publicly acknowledged, they were quite special. The Tiger Chef had five tigers, the pillar chef had four pillars, and the Pearl chef was the three pearls of Cantonese cuisine.

The cooking exchange was certainly not just about talking. After all, cooking was like playing games. As they talked, they wanted to play two games by themselves, and their hands were itchy.

Yuan Zhou and Wang Jike were the same. When they had a little doubt about a dish, they would immediately test it on the stove prepared in the courtyard.

For example, the meat-brewed bran. As the two of them had some doubts about the size, Yuan Zhou made one on the spot.

“By the way, can’t you just cook a good dish? Is there a need to fight over the big and small?” Liu Li muttered to himself. He did not understand why head chef Wang and head chef Yuan were so insistent on the size of the meatball.

When chefs of Jiangsu cuisine cooked this dish, the size of the meatball was determined by their feelings. The specific size was determined by their own preferences. Who would study this?

They all thought so, but they didn’t expect that Yuan Zhou and Wang Jike both cared about it and even started discussing it.

“Maybe we haven’t reached that level yet,” Huang Fei said.

“Actually, I can roughly understand,” Hao Cheng said.

“I can roughly understand.” Wang Qiang said.

Then, Huang Fei and Liu Li looked at the two of them. Their gazes were saying,”hurry up and tell me if you already know.”

“Food is never just an art of taste, otherwise it wouldn’t be colored and fragrant.” Wang Qiang said.

Hao Cheng continued,”now, we have also added the shape and meaning. Plate presentation is an art. Head chef Yuan and head chef Wang have reached the extreme of color, fragrance, and taste, so they have more requirements in the shape aspect. It is normal for them to discuss how to make it convenient for the customers to eat and look beautiful.”

This made sense. The ultimate goal of any profession was perfection. Huang Fei and the others hadn’t even reached perfection in appearance, fragrance, or taste, so it wasn’t time for other things yet.

“But Speaking of which, this is the first time I’ve seen head chef Wang So kind to someone.” Huang Fei suddenly said.

“Yes!” Liu Li nodded in agreement.”Uncle Wang’s tone was friendly and he had a smile on his face. I thought I was blind.”

Blind, deaf, and deaf… It seemed like his brain was not working well when he used this word.

It must be known that Wang Jike’s attitude was not only toward the younger generation, but also to his peers. Otherwise, Wang Jike would not have the saying “of the five tigers of Jiangsu, the Wang clan has martial arts.”

However, his mild attitude toward Yuan Zhou was really like a different person.

“Right, right? I’ve always suspected that my dad had topped up the phone bill and then picked me up in the trash can behind the mountain.” Wang Qiang was deeply touched.

Looking at his name, Wang Qiang, it was too casual. When he was young, he was called Xiao Qiang. When he grew up, he was called brother Qiang. Only when he was old did it sound better,”Grandpa Qiang.”

“My condolences,” Huang Fei patted Wang Qiang’s shoulder.

On the other side, Yuan Zhou and Wang Jike didn’t stop after they finished talking about the steamed pork with bran. They continued to verify other dishes.

“Delicious. Head chef Yuan, your supplier is really amazing. All the ingredients are the freshest and the best.” Wang Jike said.

Yuan Zhou revealed an embarrassed but not polite smile. He just nodded his head and didn’t answer.

“I heard that many chefs have sought out that ingredient supplier and wanted to supply some ordinary ingredients at a high price. However, they were all rejected without exception.” Wang Jike said.

“Found?” Yuan Zhou caught hold of this word. He felt that he seemed to have discovered the secret of the whole world.

When Wang Jike heard the surprise in Yuan Zhou’s tone, he couldn’t help but ask curiously,””What’s wrong, head chef Yuan?”

“Oh, I’m just curious who’s the person in charge they met. I’m wondering if he’s the same person in charge as me.” Yuan Zhou said tactfully.

“I just called, but the supplier rejected me. I didn’t even get to see the person in charge.” “Powerful people all have a temper,” Wang Jike said.”Powerful suppliers also have a temper.”

Immediately, Wang Jike seemed to have thought of something and said,””Good ingredients need to be cooked with good skills. I think it might be the supplier who feels that the ingredients can’t be best tasted if they are handed over to other chefs.”

The more Wang Jike thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was the closest to the truth. Putting himself in his shoes, if he was an ingredient supplier, he would definitely only sell to the best Chef.

It was the first time that Yuan Zhou had heard someone mention the ingredients provided by the system. In fact, Yuan Zhou had never been worried about the exposure of the ingredients from the very beginning.

It wasn’t that Yuan Zhou was thoughtless. The reason was simple. Judging from the character of the system, he knew that it wasn’t a system without a head or tail. Therefore, since it dared to provide the system without any scruples, it proved that it was fully prepared.

Yuan Zhou didn’t ask more about the ingredients supplier. He had thought that he had discovered the secret of the system, but he didn’t expect that there was nothing.

The conversation with Wang Jike continued until 4:30 before the two reluctantly stopped.

“I’ve really benefited a lot from the exchange this afternoon.” Wang Jike said.

Yuan Zhou said,”head chef Wang’s vision of Jiangsu cuisine has also broadened my horizons.”

If other people complimented him like that, Wang Jike wouldn’t feel anything at all. On the contrary, he would feel that they were talking too much nonsense. But when Yuan Zhou said that, Wang Jike couldn’t help revealing a smile.

“Head chef Yuan, are you interested in joining the Jiangsu cuisine Association?” “I’m the Executive Vice president of the Association,” Wang Jike suddenly said.”If head chef Yuan is to be added, I will recommend head chef Yuan to be the Executive Director in name.”

“Um…” Yuan Zhou was stunned. He didn’t expect this.

“I usually listen to uncle Zhou’s opinion on such matters.” Yuan Zhou said,”the most important thing is that I rarely leave the restaurant. I don’t have time for management meetings either. It’s not a good idea for me to be the Executive Director of the Jiangsu cuisine Association.”

“No wonder. Not to mention the younger generation, even the older generation can rarely endure the loneliness and practice cooking.” “Then I’ll be the director,” Wang Jike said.

There was a saying that in today’s society, if one wanted to succeed, they didn’t need to work so hard to the point of competing with talent.

This sentence was a little like Chicken Soup for the Soul, but it was true. You said that to become the best, you needed talent, but if you only wanted to succeed, hard work was enough.

Take Yuan Zhou as an example. Apart from the time he spent on eating and sleeping, he spent more than 90% of his time on practicing his cooking skills.

As a matter of fact, not to mention the system, Yuan Zhou’s hard work had already surpassed 99% of the people in the real world. In any industry, as long as one had a normal IQ, one would definitely succeed as long as they had Yuan Zhou’s hard work.

Of course, Yuan Zhou was still very grateful to the system for giving him a direction to work hard. Therefore, the memorial tablet of the system was still placed there.

During each Festival, Yuan Zhou would offer incense to the system, using the kind of incense that was only second to the kind used for his parents.

As the saying goes, man fights for a breath, Buddha fights for an incense stick. This was definitely the greatest respect for the system!

“Won’t it affect me if I stay in Chengdu for a long time?”Yuan Zhou asked.

“It’s fine. It’s just a nominal title. After I’m done with this matter, head chef Yuan just needs to give me a copy of your ID card.” Wang Jike said,”after all, with head chef Yuan’s standard in Jiangsu cuisine, if you can’t even enter the Jiangsu cuisine Association, then there’s no need to establish these associations. You might as well disband hang Tian.”

“Thank you for your trouble, head chef Wang.” Yuan Zhou didn’t refuse anymore.

“It’s no trouble at all. Hang Tian should thank me for you being the director of the Jiangsu cuisine Association.” Wang Jike said.

“Alright. I won’t delay boss Yuan’s preparation of the dinner. I’ll leave first.” Wang Jike also left quickly after saying goodbye.

Yuan Zhou still wanted to see head chef Wang off, but he was refused.

When Wang Jike left, he also took Wang Qiang and the other three away. Today, he agreed to let Wang Qiang and the other three listen in, but the price was that the four of them had to take notes and satisfy him.

At this moment, Wang Jike had probably taken Wang Qiang and the other three back to the hotel to check their “homework.”

Hao Cheng and the other three felt bitter in their hearts. They had already graduated from college several years ago, but they had to return to the fear of being dominated by homework…

On the other side, Yuan Zhou was preparing the ingredients for dinner. He originally wanted to write down what he had gained today, but he didn’t have enough time. Therefore, he could only use a recording pen to jot down the key points and write them down after the dinner time was over.

A long line was formed at the entrance of the restaurant again. It was bustling with noise and excitement. Yuan Zhou then started to get busy.

After the two-hour dinner time ended, Yuan Zhou carried a bowl of broth to the back door.

“Eh? Where’s the dog?” Yuan Zhou only saw the rice.

“Rice, where’s your husband?” Yuan Zhou asked.

Rice whimpered a few times.

“Oh, I know. I’ll go take a look.” After a nod, Yuan Zhou set down the bowl and left.

It was unknown how the man and the dog communicated with each other in the language of different species.

At the street corner, the little girl who ran away when she saw Yuan Zhou last time came again, wearing a green, clean, and slightly fluttered dress.

“I wonder if broth will come over today.” The little girl stretched her head and looked at the direction of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant carefully.

The little girl quickly looked away. Obviously, she didn’t see what she wanted to see. The little girl didn’t stay long and went straight to the garbage dump that had been moved to the corner.

That’s right. Originally, the garbage collection point of Taoxi road was at the street entrance. However, as Taoxi road became more and more prosperous, the street office changed the garbage collection point to the corner. They even built a special odor-removing wall and added cleaning staff to deal with the garbage.

The little girl in the dress walked around the corner with a big, light yellow travel bag on her back.

Even if this place was cleaned several times a day, there was still a rotten smell. After all, it was Midsummer and the temperature was high, so it was inevitable that there was a sour smell.

Although he couldn’t smell it through the wall, he could still smell it when he walked into the trash can.

However, the little girl was used to it and didn’t cover her nose or frown.

She just quietly took out a pair of clean disposable plastic gloves from the side of the travel bag, put them on her slender and white hands, and began to search the trash can.

“Sure enough, uncle Yuan’s trash can is the cleanest.” The little girl said in a low voice as she looked for the empty plastic bottle.

Soon, the originally flat travel bag was filled with various plastic bottles and can. The little girl sighed in satisfaction, smiled, and walked to the side.

Of course, the little girl first took off the dirty disposable gloves on her hands, then took out an old plastic bottle from the other side bag, opened the lid, and carefully wiped her hands.

He also wiped his face with the small towel he brought, then put the bottle back. He then took out a small spray bottle from another small bag and sprayed it on his body and hands.

As the mist spread out, a strong smell of alcohol came out, eliminating the faint rancid smell on the girl’s body. It was obviously an Alcohol Disinfectant.

“It’s done,” The little girl carefully put away the alcohol Disinfectant with satisfaction, then took two steps into the back alley and looked inside carefully.

“Da, da, da.” A series of light footsteps sounded. The little girl immediately became happy because she could tell that it was the sound of broth’s claws tapping on the green stone slab.

The little girl immediately turned around and took out half a well-wrapped ham sausage from the bag at the side. She squatted down and waited for broth to come.

As expected, broth’s gray figure appeared in front of the little girl very soon.

“Woof woof.” Broth was a dog, and the rice didn’t come with it. As soon as it came to the little girl, broth immediately stopped and barked twice.

“Broth, long time no see.” The little girl immediately greeted broth with a big smile.

“Woof!” Broth took a step forward and wanted to rub against the little girl’s hand. However, the little girl took a step back reflexively almost immediately.

“We’ve made a deal. You can’t come near my broth. ” The little girl immediately said in embarrassment and panic.

“Woof?” Broth’s human-like black eyes revealed its understanding. Then, it stopped moving.

“I’m sorry, broth,” The little girl apologized in embarrassment. Then, she quickly took half of the ham sausage and put it in front of broth with a careful expression on her little face.

It was as if he was apologizing for his overreaction.

Broth seemed to have understood what she meant. It ate the ham sausage in small bites. During the process, the little girl’s hand didn’t touch the ham sausage, nor did it touch broth. Broth didn’t rub against the little girl either.

The little girl just squatted there and fed broth seriously. Then, she put away the remaining wrapping paper and said,””Thank you for coming to see me again today, broth.”

“Woof!” Broth howled and stretched its neck. It looked so cute that the little girl burst into laughter.

Seeing the little girl’s bell-like laughter, a happy expression also appeared on broth’s furry dog face. It started to circle around the little girl.

During this period, every time he ran to the little girl, he would stand up and walk two steps towards the little girl. He looked very spirited, and with his long and clean gray hair, he looked very cute.

“Broth, you’re so awesome. You can even walk like this. You’re much cuter than the Alaskan Malamute I saw yesterday.” The little girl also gave him face and kept praising him.

The girl and the dog played with each other for 20 minutes before the little girl reluctantly bade farewell to broth.

Naturally, the little girl retracted her hands and didn’t touch broth. She just said goodbye to him seriously and left with her bag.

Just like Yuan Zhou, broth also stood still and watched the little girl leave. Then, it walked back to its nest leisurely and even peeked to the left on the way.

That’s right. Yuan Zhou wasn’t peeking at her from the side, because he recalled that the little girl had kept a distance from him in a panic.

The girl and broth were having a good time together. Yuan Zhou didn’t want to ruin their fun, so he didn’t go out. Apparently, broth had sensed Yuan Zhou’s arrival, but it didn’t bark.

“Not only you don’t have to come into contact with people, you don’t even have to come into contact with broth. Why is that?” Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and thought of a possibility, but he soon pressed down the possibility.
