Chapter 1270 - They are all intermediate chefs
Not long after Yuan Zhou started sculpting, many people got to know about the vegetarian banquet due to the post by Cheng Han on Weibo.
The first one was an overseas call from Chu Xiao.
“I’m yuan Zhou. ” Yuan Zhou put down the knife and said lightly.
From Yuan Zhou’s manner, it was completely impossible to tell that he was curious whether Chu Xiao had received the package or not.
“I’m Chu Xiao. ” Chu Xiao also answered.
Since they had the same sentence, the two of them were silent for a while and Chu Xiao spoke first,””I’ve received the package. Your craftsmanship is not bad. ”
“I’ve also received yours. The plate’s design is pretty good. ” Yuan Zhou answered.
“When did you start learning wood carving?” Chu Qi said.
“It happened in the last two or three months.” Yuan Zhou said.
“You’re really talented. ” Chu Qi said.
“It’s okay. I’m only an intermediate chef now. I’m still far from that. ” Yuan Zhou thought of the system’s evaluation and said earnestly.
On the other end of the phone, Chu Xiao was suspiciously silent for a while. Then, he asked,”Then what level do you think I’m at?”
“Almost the same as me.” Yuan Zhou answered quickly.
This time, Chu Xiao didn’t remain silent. Instead, he directly said with great confidence,”I think I’m better than you.”
“It’s an illusion,” Yuan Zhou said indifferently.
“I’m going back to China soon. I heard that you’ve released a new dish, so I’ll drop by to try it.” Chu Xiao snorted lightly and then said.
“On the 1st of every month, you can come and eat if you win.” Yuan Zhou repeated the rules, meaning that he would not make an exception for him.
“See you back in China.” Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and said without saying much.
“Goodbye.” After that, Yuan Zhou hung up the phone.
Chu Xiao took the phone and looked at the Weibo on the computer. Then, he lowered his head and chuckled,”You only rated yourself as an intermediate chef? You’re really humble. ”
“I don’t think there are many who can surpass me now.” Chu Xiao stood up and said confidently.
Picking up his phone again, Chu Xiao woke up his assistant in the middle of the night and asked him to book a flight back to China.
The assistant asked for a pay raise and compensation while booking the tickets with resentment.
Of course, Yuan Zhou didn’t know about that. It was because he received another phone call from Zhou Shijie.
“Little Yuan, you served a new dish again?” Zhou Shijie took the phone and asked affectionately.
Zhou Shijie’s and master chef restaurant’s official social media accounts kept close to each other. As soon as Cheng Cheng sent the message, someone on the other side informed Zhou Shijie.
“Yes, it’s out of the vegetarian banquet.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and said.
“You said you’d treat this old man to a taste. You’re not good enough.” Zhou Shijie complained in a seemingly dissatisfied manner, yet his tone was very relaxed and natural.
“Then you ...” Yuan Zhou paused for a while before he could finish his words. However, he was interrupted by Zhou Shijie.
“I knew you would take it seriously. You were just joking. But I’m definitely going to eat the vegetarian banquet. I’ll just line up for the lucky draw later.” Zhou Shijie said with a smile.
“I’ll introduce you to someone. ” Zhou Shijie continued without waiting for Yuan Zhou to answer.
“Thank you, President.” Seeing Zhou Shijie follow the rules consciously, Yuan Zhou felt warm in his heart.
“Let’s not talk about that. I’ve brought the Taoist priest of our Taoist temple here. It just so happens that the old Taoist priest is treating me to a meal. He owes me a few meals.” Zhou Shijie said.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou answered.
“Looks like I’ll have to ask that old Daoist to call his disciples and Grand-disciples to come and draw on the first day. Otherwise, he’ll have another excuse not to invite me.” Zhou Shijie said with a teasing tone.
“Then you’d better come early.” Yuan Zhou also answered with a relaxed tone.
“That’s for sure. I’m well aware of your business, so I’ll definitely be early.” Zhou Shijie answered.
In the end, Zhou Shijie asked about Yuan Zhou’s cooking progress recently and then hung up the phone.
“Uncle Zhou, you’re really attentive.” Yuan Zhou sighed.
Zhou Shijie was obviously trying to introduce business to Yuan Zhou’s vegetarian banquet. Even if Zhou Shijie knew that those people would have already booked all the seats even without him telling them to.
But this was the concern of an elder.
“Speaking of which, I still have a tael of tea leaves to drink.” Yuan Zhou thought of the Longjing tea rewarded by the system and then decided to treat Zhou Shijie to a cup of tea next time.
After the phone call, Yuan Zhou no longer had the mood to sculpt. Instead, he went to the kitchen and began to practice his cooking skills.
After all, he already had the cuisines from the other two provinces as a reward, so he naturally had to familiarize himself with them as soon as possible.
“Both the Qian and Dian cuisines have the specialty of mountain delicacies. It’s somewhat similar to the mountain delicacies of vegetarian dishes.” Yuan Zhou checked the menu and then said inwardly.
“By the way, system, there will be more and more dishes in the future. You can prepare so many ingredients in advance, but I’m afraid my small shop won’t be able to fit all of them, right?” Yuan Zhou asked tentatively.
The system displayed,[the host doesn’t need to worry. As long as the host needs something, the system will naturally prepare it.]
The system said so confidently that even Yuan Zhou couldn’t help raising his eyebrows. However, he didn’t doubt it. After all, Yuan Zhou had long known that the system had a transportation function that no one knew about.
When most of the ingredients were in Yuan Zhou’s hands, they looked as if they had just been picked off. Even the morning dew was still on them, fresh and tender.
Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that he still had fruits in stock in his restaurant. It was the most suitable time to have a pear in autumn when the weather was slightly cool.
Thinking of that, Yuan Zhou directly took out a pear from the cabinet and washed it twice with water before going upstairs to eat it.
Since Zhou Jia and Cheng Han were outside the restaurant, nobody could see Yuan Zhou eating the fruits.

However, Yuan Zhou had a premonition that he would be robbed if he stood there and ate. Then, he went upstairs with the fist-sized crystal pear in his hand.
Yuan Zhou hadn’t been casual for a long time. As soon as he went upstairs, he started to eat the pear with a sound of ‘Kacha’.
The skin of the pear was so thin that it was almost transparent. Inside was the crystal White flesh. It was the autumn season when the pear was ripe and the juice was abundant. When Yuan Zhou bit it, it emitted a crisp sound.
“Oh, it tastes better this way than eating it in small pieces.” Yuan Zhou said inwardly.
“Cha Cha”, he chewed a few times. The crystal pear was very crisp, sweet, and juicy. The rich pear juice flowed down his throat, soothing his throat that he had just spoken. It was very comfortable.
Normally, when eating an ordinary pear, there would be a feeling of dregs, and the final fruit would have a kind of juice that would be chewed dry, and the fruit would become firewood. However, the pear provided by the system didn’t have this problem at all.
The clear and sweet pear juice and the crisp flesh of the fruit. Because the pear was cold, the sweetness was just right and not greasy at all. The juice was rich, but it would not flow to the hands. Instead, it was wrapped well in the snow-white and transparent flesh.
“Cha Cha Cha”, Yuan Zhou ate up an entire pear quickly. At that time, Yuan Zhou hadn’t even returned to his room.
“It’s still more satisfying to eat like this. ” Yuan Zhou relaxed his brows and eyes for a while. Then, he turned his head and started to go downstairs again in a good mood.
After all, Yuan Zhou had just gone upstairs for the sake of eating the pear. After eating it, he naturally went downstairs.
