Chapter 984 Just a Habit

Chef Li was filled with confidence by his apprentice's words. He thought about it and turned around and said.

"Go pick out a few kilograms of bamboo shrimp for me." Chef Li was about to make this.

He was going to start practicing his cooking skills now. After all, he hadn't cooked in a long time.

Bamboo shrimp, also called island prawn, is a relatively common seafood. Compared with other seafood, which are rough in texture, the meat of bamboo shrimp is more tender.

The apprentice nodded, but did not leave. Instead, he stood there and looked at his master, hesitating to speak. It seemed that he had something to say.

"By the way, Master, I have a question." The apprentice just thought of something and then hesitated, as if he was embarrassed to say it.

"If you have any questions, just ask. Don't do things like mother-in-law and mother-in-law. Master, I will answer it for you." Chef Li, who felt that he was about to reach the pinnacle of his life, was very heroic.

"President Zhou and President Zhang are very familiar with that Yuan Zhou. They are the judges of this competition. Will it cause any deviation in the results of this competition?" The apprentice is worried that there is a shady story, they are obviously delicious , but the judges let the opponent win, which is not uncommon in competitions.

Chef Li smiled and said affirmatively: "Those who can become the president will at least not be partial in their cooking skills, and given their status, they are not allowed to act in a biased manner during the competition."

Hearing what Chef Li said, the apprentice felt relieved and quickly went out to prepare the bamboo shrimp.

Returning to Yuanzhou, the game time was in the afternoon. After all, the business hours could not be delayed for a few unimportant people.

Yuan Zhou will never relax at any time, so there is no need to make special preparations, he is always in the state.

It’s a new day and the store is open for business as usual.

No one was causing trouble today, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious and friendly. Of course, some diners did not understand and made some comments.

"I don't know why Boss Yuan didn't accept the challenge, but he was told to come to the door."

"That person is just a bitch. He will accept whatever he wants."

"I think so, it's just a cat or a dog. How can our boss Yuan's class be so low?" Li Hong jumped out and said.

A few days ago, Li Hongcai wrote a book called "The Birth of a Miracle". The name is very impressive, but in fact it is a complete clickbait. It is about the child of the Wuzhou couple and why it is called a miracle.

Because the scene that day has been lingering in Li Hong's mind, this kind of stranger's love for new life is an indescribable feeling.

Li Hong wrote in the book that in fact, most of the cognitions in the world can be resolved at the moment of the birth of new life.

Just like Dean Veeru in "Three Idiots", he was so strict and rigid that he drove his son to death, but after witnessing the birth of his grandson, he completely changed his view.

In fact, Li Hong has a good writing style and accumulation of knowledge, and he can often quote classics. But the problem is that Li Hong likes to write well for himself, regardless of whether the readers have dyslexia or not.

Today, Li Honglai invited an atypical famous writer to have a discussion and guidance in Yuanzhou's store.

The reason why this writer is called Atypical Famous is because this person never mentioned his pen name, but Li Hong vaguely knew that he had a good relationship with the people at the publishing house. It is said that he published abroad and sold hundreds of copies abroad. Thousands of copies.

When he received the call from Li Hong, the writer was not prepared to agree, but as soon as he heard it was Yuanzhou Store, he immediately agreed.

According to rumors circulating on the Internet, there are three magic weapons to increase the chance of success in contract negotiations: drinking, singing, and Yuanzhou Shop.

The last one is a magical prop that can increase the success rate by one level!

No, it was still early, and the two of them were in the second batch.

As for Wu Hai, his illness has completely recovered, and today he is ranked first with a refreshed and proud look on his face.

"I read your new book. Your biggest problem is what I said before. You don't pay attention to the reading experience." After entering the store, while the two were waiting for the dishes, the writer spoke.

"For example, here, the sentence you quoted mentioned something said by the Phoenix without any explanation at all..." The writer pointed out the problem seriously.

At this point, Li Hong defended unconvinced, saying: "Shouldn't everyone know this? The explanation is redundant. Phoenix is ​​the most influential philosopher alive today, Habermas, a professor at the University of Frankfurt. This Who doesn’t know?”

Habermas is indeed famous. He is called the Phoenix. Of course, he is not called the Phoenix because of his academic achievements, but because he lived a long time... Not to mention the people of the same generation, you must know that he is the same as the people of the same generation. His children were tortured to death by him.

You said, why is Habermas number one? This story tells us that you don’t have to be the best person in the field, you just need to live longer than the best person.

No kidding, Habermas is famous. That means he knows a little bit about philosophy, but he has little interest in philosophy. There are very few people who know Habermas.

"Okok, ask the people in this store how many people know about it." The writer said directly without arguing.

Li Hong was a stubborn guy, and he still didn't believe it, so he actually got up and asked questions one by one. Including the people lining up behind him, he asked more than 30 people in total, and there were less than five people who knew Habermas.

Among the five people, only one knew it in detail. The writer told Li Hong with facts. Just because you think it is common sense does not mean that others do too.

Li Hong was still unconvinced: "Writers must have their own ideas, and they can't just convince readers."

It makes sense, after all, literature is very selfish.

However, the writer then said something very heart-wrenching. He said: "Do you think you have the fame and strength of Wu Hai? Once you have this fame, you can do whatever you want to do for your own benefit, and some people will buy it."

Speaking of Wu Hai, as the first batch, Wu Hai had already finished his meal and left.

Li Hong was stunned. Even though he was very conceited, he still recognized Wu Hai's talent in painting.

But Li Hong thought that he was not much inferior to him, but he didn't say anything because of Wu Hai's fame.

"Perhaps you feel that you also have his talent." The writer may still feel that it is not thorough enough, and finally added: "Talent that no one recognizes is not called talent. It is called one of the three major illusions in life. You think too much."

Lao Tie was really heartbroken, and Li Hong was dumbfounded. People often feel that their talents are not appreciated, but think about it again.

Are you pregnant with talent or firewood?

"Thank you for your hospitality today." The writer had already finished eating while Li Hong was in a daze.

Yes, this writer stunned Li Hong with his words. Then the dishes came, and he finished them seriously and thanked him.

"Thank you for your guidance today. Can you tell me the title of your work? I will definitely buy it and read it." Li Hong bowed his thanks seriously.

"Boss Yuan's food is really delicious. I read online about how delicious it is, but you still have to eat it yourself to feel it... As for the novel, forget it." When it comes to his novel, the writer is a bit embarrassed and stiff. After changing the topic, finally seeing Li Hong's persistent look on his face, he decided not to mention it.

A book that has sold over a million copies abroad, I’m sorry to say what kind of book it is?

Li Hong watched the author walk out the door, a little puzzled, but did not bother him. He was still thinking about what the author had just said.

The meal continued in the store, which was no different from any other day. However, after dinner time, Yuan Zhou tidied up and went to the garbage station to throw things away as usual.

But this time, as soon as he put down the bag, an old man stopped Yuan Zhou.

"Boss Yuan, please wait. Boss Yuan, please wait." It's just that the old man's voice is weak and not so full of energy.

…

ps: Today is the first day of the Year of the Dog. Caimao is here to wish everyone good luck in the Year of the Dog, happy New Year, good health, and everything goes well~
