Chapter 1304 Yuanzhou’s Name

When Ke Lin heard Zhou Shijie's boastful words, he didn't say much. He just signaled: "Go in first and talk later."

"Okay, let's go in." Zhou Shijie nodded obediently, and then the three of them entered the door together.

Fortunately, the gate of this riverside courtyard is very wide, allowing three people to enter at the same time.

Yuanzhou didn't stop and followed the two of them into the small courtyard with a natural attitude.

A girl wearing a blue top, black skirt and student uniform from the Republic of China era with two big pigtails came into the small courtyard.

"You three, please come in." The girl's voice was clear, and she started to lead the way.

The so-called riverside courtyard, this courtyard is really open by the river. The little girl leading the way led the three of them deep into the courtyard.

After passing through the courtyard, you enter a hanging flower door, and the inside suddenly opens up. Small rockeries and rocks are stacked among them, and tables and chairs made of bamboo are dotted among them.

The little girl who led the way took the three of them around a corner on the corridor and walked directly to the deepest part of the yard. There were small boxes separated there. Some of the doors were open, and you could see the broad river directly opposite.

The little girl took the three of them to a box named Huayue in the middle, and then said: "This is the box that the three of you booked. What kind of tea can you drink?"

The private room is not big, about fifteen square meters, and is surrounded by four tables in the middle. Low flowers and trees are placed in the middle, so that communication is not affected.

There are some tea-making utensils placed around it. Obviously, people can perform tea ceremonies here.

There are some neatly trimmed potted tea trees placed in the four corners of the box. The tea trees are green and exude a faint fragrance of green leaves.

The simple carved window overlooks the river, and you can also see the golden-leafed sycamore trees across the river. The whole space looks open and elegant, very beautiful.

"The origin of Zunyi Red here is Zunyi, Guizhou Province. It is very authentic. Lao Ke, would you like to try the difference between the Zunyi Red here and the one you brewed there?" Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

"Okay." Colin sat directly on the long table to the right of the door and nodded after hearing this.

"What about Xiao Yuan?" Zhou Shijie asked, tilting his head.

Yuan Zhou sat on the left side of the door, while Zhou Shijie sat facing the river. The three of them sat at separate tables.

"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded.

"White tea will be served today, brew it and bring it in." Zhou Shijie then turned to the little girl who was waiting to lead the way.

"Wait a moment, you three. Let's use some tea fruits first. The tea will be here soon." The little girl nodded immediately and withdrew politely.

"Bang" The little girl who retreated gently closed the wooden door of the box when she left, and the box suddenly became quiet.

There are three kinds of tea fruits, which are already placed on the table. The table is of a solid wood color with only varnish on it. In addition to some simple decorations, there are three kinds of tea fruits placed in the sea of ​​tea.

The three plates are all dark brown, and one has a small green dumpling on it, exuding a faint smell of grass. It looks like it is some kind of grass dumpling.

The middle one is light yellow, with beautiful patterns printed on the small pastry, and the last one is white jade-like, square and square, like a thin rice cake.

No one was eating in the quiet private room. After a while, Colin asked in person: "I see you are holding a notebook. Are you planning to take notes or have you already taken notes?"

Colin was naturally asking Yuan Zhou. After all, Colin and Zhou Shijie were familiar with each other, and there was nothing to talk about alone. What's more, the purpose of his visit today was to discuss with Yuan Zhou, which he had agreed with Zhou Shijie. .

"It's a record of some dishes I recently learned about Guizhou cuisine." Yuan Zhou picked up the notebook and said.

"A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. You should really record it. It's a good habit." Colin nodded and said in agreement.

"Recording it will help you improve your own shortcomings." Yuan Zhou also said.

"President Zhou said that you have recently learned Guizhou cuisine and Guizhou cuisine, two cuisines at a time?" Colin frowned and asked.

"Yes, I want to learn more cooking while I'm young." Yuan Zhou nodded directly.

"Are you not a Sichuan cuisine chef? Why do you suddenly want to learn Guizhou cuisine and Guizhou cuisine?" Ke Lin was not satisfied with Yuan Zhou's answer.

Continue to ask.

"Because I am proficient in Sichuan cuisine and fully understand it." When he said this, Yuan Zhou's attitude was natural, his expression was calm, and he spoke very indifferently.

Colin raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhou Shijie.

"Xiao Yuan is a genius, or a genius who works very hard." Zhou Shijie sighed.

"You are very good, very good." Colin said seriously.

"Thank you." Yuan Zhou said this to both Zhou Shijie and Colin.

"I wonder if you can show me the notebook you have." After Colin said this, he realized something was wrong, and explained: "I want to see the progress of your study, and then I know where to start the discussion. .”

It stands to reason that considering Colin's age of over seventy this year and the honors he has received, it would be impossible for others to look at a junior's notebook, but Colin felt that it was inappropriate to say so directly. Obviously, he was implicitly Treat Yuan Zhou as a peer.

"Of course." Yuan Zhou nodded, then stood up and went over with his notebook.

Ke Lin stood up and waited at his place. When he took Yuan Zhou's notebook, Ke Lin took it with both hands, which showed that he attached great importance to it.

Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Zhou Shijie remembered what happened when he was looking for Colin.

As Zhou Shijie, the president of the Kitchen Federation, he was naturally the first to know about Ke Lin coming to Chengdu. When he heard the news, he immediately thought of Yuan Zhou, who had recently been learning Guizhou cuisine.

From the beginning, Zhou Shijie planned to introduce Yuan Zhou to Colin, so that Colin, a master of Guizhou cuisine, could communicate with Yuan Zhou, which would also broaden his understanding of Guizhou cuisine.

When Colin arrived, Zhou Shijie waited for the reception work to be completed that day, and then went to the hotel where Colin was staying in person.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Zhou Shijie and Ke Lin had a good relationship and could be called friends. After all, there were only a few people who were at the top of cooking skills, so they naturally knew each other.

Although Colin is more than ten years older than Zhou Shijie and they became famous at different times, because of Zhou Shijie's current position, the two are friends as equals.

"Master Ke, I really have something to do with you today." After the greetings, Zhou Shijie said directly.

"Okay, just call the old man my name. If it's Master Tiantianke's fault, I still have to call you President Zhou." Colin said with a relaxed expression.

"Okay, Colin, I want to recommend someone to you to discuss Guizhou cuisine with you in private, but you have to bring some practical information." Zhou Shijie nodded directly and then said.

"Recommender?" Colin was puzzled. Although he didn't refuse, his expression was questioning.

You must know that Ke Lin is a master of Guizhou cuisine, and he has taken on a disciple. If Zhou Shijie said that he has to come up with practical information during the discussion, then not everyone can do it.

If Colin had the ability, why would he give it to an outsider instead of leaving it to his apprentice?

But Zhou Shijie nodded directly and said his name without any hesitation: "This person is Yuan Zhou."

"Yuan Zhou?" The expression on Ke Lin's face faded, he pondered for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

"Okay." Colin said.
