1928 Good news and bad news

“The silver spoon Restaurant is a recommendation system. It requires the joint recommendation of three famous Lu cuisines. Little Yuan, you definitely don’t need to worry about it. It just depends on whether you want to participate or not.” Zhou Shijie said.

It was no wonder that the four major domestic awards were so tightly restricted that one couldn’t even squeeze in without a recommendation.

“I definitely can’t miss the opportunity to compare notes with the famous chefs of Shandong cuisine.” Yuan Zhou agreed quite decisively.

In fact, all the other cuisines had been taught to many top-notch chefs. Only Lu cuisines had just been taught to them. Zhou Shijie was the only person who had in-depth knowledge of Lu cuisines. Even if it wasn’t for the mission, such an opportunity couldn’t be missed.

“Uncle Zhou is one of my recommenders, so the rules require three recommenders. As for the other two famous chefs of Shandong cuisine, can I find chef Wang and chef Yue?” Yuan Zhou asked.

Head chef Wang and head chef Yue were also famous chefs of Shandong cuisine. He had met these two chefs when he was butchering beef.

“There’s no need for that. After knowing that you’d be participating in the silver spoon contest, old man Zhuang and old man mai came to me of their own accord, wanting to be your recommenders.” Zhou Shijie said.

Old man Zhuang and old mai, whom Chairman Zhou was talking about, were also famous chefs in Lude. They had once had a meal with Zhou Shijie at master chef Restaurant and were conquered by his culinary skills.

In the eyes of head chef Zhuang and head chef Mai, it was quite impressive to be Yuan Zhou’s recommender.

“Thank you, head chef Mai and head chef Zhuang,”

Yuan Zhou recalled that uncle Zhou had brought two old men to eat Lu cuisine not long ago. As soon as they arrived, they ordered the signature dishes of Lu cuisine, such as the nine-turn large intestine, braised pork trotter with scallion, sumptuous peach blossoms, clear broth of white fungus, and so on. At that time, Yuan Zhou thought that these two were probably Lu cuisine grandmasters. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have ordered all the dishes on the spot.

“Little Yuan, they’re as happy as I am that you can pass down the Lu cuisine’s Silver spoon to them,” Zhou Shijie said.

“This silver spoon is very important for Lu cuisine.” Zhou Shijie said,”little Yuan, you should know that the most important things in our Lu cuisine are cooking and turning the ladle. Turning the ladle in particular can be used in both fancy and practical ways. There are small turning ladles, big turning ladles, assisted turning ladles, hanging turning ladles, shaking ladles, hand ladles, and so on.”

“Little Yuan, your cooking skills are beyond doubt. However, you still need to pay more attention to the other three chefs who will be participating this time.” Zhou Shijie explained the matter clearly.

“The four of them will be participating in the silver spoon selection this time?” What Yuan Zhou paid attention to was another problem.

“Yes. Apart from you, there are three other chefs who are the pillars of Lu cuisine. One is Gao Fei, who is known to be able to overturn the seas and pots. The other is head chef Qin Hua, who lost to me in the previous competition. And the last one is Bai subo. You should have heard of him, little Yuan.” Zhou Shijie introduced.

Yuan Zhou was indeed familiar with the name Bai subo. He was the Executive Director of the Lu cuisine Association and, most importantly, the disciple of imperial chef mo.

“Head chef Gao, head chef Bai, and head chef Qin are all capable chefs.” Yuan Zhou said.

Zhou Shijie nodded his head and passed a piece of paper to Yuan Zhou. On the paper, the information of the several people he mentioned just now was clearly written, including their basic information and some achievements.

It was truly worthy of being one of the four highest honors in China. It was equivalent to an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement Award. The competition was between chefs who were already famous in their 50s. It was really eye-piercing for a young man like Yuan Zhou to participate in it.

What happened next was naturally just some trivial matters. After Zhou Shijie finished talking about the official business of Yin Shao, he talked about some trivial matters related to the Sino-French exchange meeting.

Time passed very quickly when the old man and the young man went back and forth. An hour later, Yuan Zhou returned to his restaurant when he saw it was getting late.

Not long after he arrived at the store, he received a call from the auction house’s Alma.

“Boss Yuan, I have good news and bad news. I’ll tell you the good news first.” This was the first sentence that came out of Alma’s mouth.

“Even though there are very few red diamonds on the market, after the hard work of our auction house, we have found a 2.1-carat fancy red Diamond that is willing to be sold.”

In the beginning, Alma was asking for credit, but Yuan Zhou also knew that he was indeed capable. Therefore, he thanked him sincerely.

“2.1 carats. Isn’t it too small for a proposal ring?” Yuan Zhou kept silent for quite a while and then asked such a soul-related question.

Alma was stunned. Was this human language?

“Head chef Yuan’s 2.1 carat Red Diamond is currently the second largest Red Diamond in the world.” Alma explained that the size of colored diamonds could not be compared to the size of ordinary diamonds.

“So, Mr. Alma, what’s the bad news?” Yuan Zhou asked.

“The bad news is that this Red Diamond is part of the collection of the famous India chef, Dewell Modi. He knows that head chef Yuan has the reputation of being the peak of Asia and hopes to have a culinary exchange with head chef Yuan.” Atticus explained the situation.

Yuan Zhou was a little lost. There were two reasons why he was lost. Yuan Zhou knew the name of Dewell Modi, who was known as the “most talented chef in the Indian Ocean.” However, according to Yuan Zhou, he had retired for a long time. Even the Asian famous chef Alliance failed to invite him.

Why did he suddenly want to communicate with her?

Secondly, was it so profitable to be a chef in India? Such an expensive Red Diamond as a collector’s item.

Soon after, Alma answered one of Yuan Zhou’s doubts. The Modi family company of Dewell Modi was one of the top 500 companies in India and was also a big company in the world.

Dewell Modi retired from the cooking world at the age of 61. In addition to winning the award of the bogus world cooking competition, he felt that his cooking skills had reached the peak. Another reason was that his family was too rich, so he thought that being a chef was not enough, so he went home to inherit the family business.

After Yuan Zhou heard that, he only had one feeling,”coach, I also want to inherit the family business!”

“As for why I want to communicate with head chef Yuan, maybe it’s because head chef Yuan is too famous. Isn’t head chef Yuan known as the peak of Asia?” To this question, Alma could only give a suspicious answer.

This answer was reasonable, but previously, there were some reports that said that the National treasure of Singapore, opello, was the best in Asia, but no one had seen Dewell Modi challenge him.

“Head chef Yuan, do you agree with Mr. Dewell Modi’s request? If you agree, we’ll start the procedure. ” Alma was waiting for Yuan Zhou’s answer.

In theory, although Yuan Zhou knew a little about India cuisine, he was still very happy to have an exchange with a famous chef who had won the gold Prize of the bogus world cooking competition.

“No problem. I’m also looking forward to communicating with head chef Dewell.” Yuan Zhou answered.

“Then there’s no problem. We’ll go and do it now.” After saying that, Alma hung up.

The red diamonds were sold and purchased by Dewell and Yuan Zhou, so they wouldn’t go to the auction house. In this transaction, Alma’s auction house was equivalent to a third party. On the one hand, it was to check the safety of the seller’s Red diamonds and the buyer’s funds, and on the other hand, it was to assist in other procedures.

Although he had to take a part of the Commission, Yuan Zhou felt it was quite good to have a third party.

……

[Ps: guess why Dewell wants to communicate with Yuan Zhou. It’s the foreshadowing of the noob cat!]
