Chapter 1198 Inside Information From Zhou Shijie
Zhou Shijie's slightly excited voice came from the phone, making Yuan Zhou even more confused.
"This good news is still inside information." Zhou Shijie said immediately.
"Then tell me, what impact does it have?" Yuan Zhou asked immediately.
"Of course it's okay, you are also one of the participants anyway." Zhou Shijie felt anxious and said with a smile.
"Okay, then you have your say." Yuan Zhou nodded and then said.
"The guy from Michelin came here last year. Xiao Yuan, do you know about this?" Zhou Shijie asked in a pretentious manner.
"I know." Yuan Zhou said cooperatively.
Although he was cooperating with Zhou Shijie in answering, Yuanzhou already had a guess in his mind.
"Last time, the Michelin star didn't come to our Sichuan Province. He went directly to the Magic City, so I didn't tell you." Zhou Shijie explained a little.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou hummed slightly to express his understanding.
Indeed, the last person who told Yuanzhou about Michelin coming to China was Chu Xiao, and Zhou Shijie really didn't say that.
"Those foreigners looked down on Zichuan Province last time, and they will do the same this time." Zhou Shijie said proudly.
"You said people from Michelin are coming this time, come to my store." Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.
"Sometimes you are as smart as a monkey, and sometimes you are not smart at all. Yes, come to your store and give you a star rating." Zhou Shijie said with a smile.
"It's easy to guess," Yuan Zhou said.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about it seriously. The main reason this time is that our rural kitchen event has become a big event. The second thing is that the news about your listing has spread far and wide. The chef of the snack pavilion even specially sent out an article. Congratulations." Zhou Shijie continued unhurriedly: "I don't know how Michelin knew about it, so it said it would come to Sichuan Province to judge and give stars."
"Xiao Yuan, you are very famous now. Even the names of some small stars are not as popular as yours in Sichuan Province." Zhou Shijie teased with a smile.
"Yeah." Yuan Zhou hummed from time to time to show that he was listening carefully.
"Not only is your store included this time, there are many other places as well, and the Shu Tower is also included in the judging this time." Zhou Shijie really didn't treat Yuan Zhou as an outsider, so he directly told Yuan Zhou all the unreleased news. .
Michelin's selections have always been conducted in a secretive manner, but now there are no more secrets in the selection process. Everyone who needs to know still knows.
It's just that those who are selected are usually unaware of it. After all, if it is selected, it is also a sign that Chinese cuisine is recognized. Therefore, Zhou Shijie will not specifically tell others, and that is his ability to force others to be selected.
This is the style of the older generation of chefs. Of course, Yuan Zhou is not one of them. He is a special case. He said this news just to make Yuan Zhou happy.
After all, people in Europe and the United States have never recognized Chinese cuisine, which makes older generation chefs like Zhou Shijie very dissatisfied.
Yuan Zhou was silent for about a minute after listening to Zhou Shijie's words, and then he said, "President Zhou, can I ask you a favor?"
This time Yuanzhou used a very formal title to address Zhou Shijie. This was the first time since the two became acquainted.
"Call Uncle Zhou." Zhou Shijie said dissatisfied.
"Okay, Uncle Zhou." Yuanzhou felt helpless and followed Zhou Shijie.
"That's right. If you have something to say directly, there's no point in being so solemn." Zhou Shijie said indifferently.
"That's it, I don't want to participate in the Michelin selection." Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then directly expressed his thoughts.
"Why?" Zhou Shijie asked directly without reacting for a moment.
"First of all, Michelin makes tires. Secondly, the food he used to evaluate was all Western food and I make Chinese food. Do they understand Chinese food?" Yuan Zhou said this unceremoniously and straightforwardly.
Zhou Shijie pondered for a while, then nodded: "That's true."
"So for this selection, can you please help me, Uncle Zhou, pick it off? I refuse to participate in being selected by Michelin." Yuan Zhou said loudly.
"Okay, you're right. Those ghost guys don't know anything about Chinese food.
It's just food and service. "Zhou Shijie followed Yuan Zhou's words and then agreed to this request.
"Then I'll bother you, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou thanked him seriously.
"What's the point, but you really don't want that honor?" Zhou Shijie asked again.
"To me, this is not an honor." Yuan Zhou affirmed.
"That's right, your boy still has a long future, so you really don't need to worry about it." Zhou Shijie thought for a while and nodded.
"Yeah." Yuan Zhou was not modest this time and responded directly.
"Okay, you're about to open your shop. Next time I come to your shop for dinner, you have to get me some delicious food." Zhou Shijie said.
"No problem." Yuan Zhou said simply.
"Okay, then you don't have to worry about this matter anymore. I'll handle it." Zhou Shijie said.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle Zhou." Yuan Zhou thanked him again.
"What's the point of calling me Uncle Zhou?" Zhou Shijie said with a smile, and then hung up the phone.
"Michelin? Let's forget it." Yuan Zhou put down his phone and chuckled.
Yuan Zhou will never admit that he is a narrow-minded person and would be dissatisfied because of his failure to pass the Michelin ranking last time. He, Yuan Zhou, is not a stingy person.
He really felt that Michelin was not qualified to evaluate Chinese food, and they did not understand what good evaluation there was about Chinese food.
But it is undeniable that Yuanzhou, who rejected Michelin, started to prepare breakfast in a refreshing manner, and he did so very quickly. Even the little regret that his request for leave was rejected disappeared.
"My goal is to become the God of Cooking. In the future, I will create a selection that is more powerful than Michelin, and it will be called the Yuanzhou Selection." Yuanzhou felt even more motivated, and his hand movements were even faster, almost bringing out the best in him. Afterimage.
Yuan Zhou would not admit that the choice of the four words "Yuan Zhou Selection" was due to narcissism. He just felt that using the name to name it had a clear meaning and was easy to remember, that's all.
Otherwise, if you look at the Contradictory Literature Award and the Hua Luogeng Mathematics Award, you will not know what they are doing after hearing it. In the future, when others hear about Yuanzhou's selection, they will naturally know that it is for selecting chefs, but they are not very clear.
After setting a small goal, Yuanzhou remembered the door that had not yet been opened, and hurriedly wiped his hands to open the door. When he opened the door, he said hello and went back to the kitchen to cook.
Today’s breakfast is a new type of steamed rice roll that has never been seen before, so it still needs to be carefully prepared.
"I smell the fragrance. It's something I've never smelled before. It smells so good." Yuan Zhou left after saying hello as soon as he opened the door. He didn't notice that the diners were sniffing into the store without leaving a trace, trying to know what breakfast was for today. What.
Of course, there was one exception, and that was Wu Hai. He had already laid down beside the door, his neck stretched out so long that he almost walked in.
