Chapter 1437 This Is Your Store

Gabriel naturally didn't know about Zhou Jia's inner activities. He happily waited for the new round of dishes.

While waiting for the food to be served, he took out his mobile phone and wrote and drew on it, recording a lot of things.

After he finished recording, the dish he had just ordered was served. Because this time it was Western food, it came with a knife and fork, but this time Gabriel, who had become slightly accustomed to chopsticks, started to use chopsticks.

The knives and forks on the side are also being used as tableware.

Yes, Gabriel now uses a knife in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand, and occasionally uses a fork.

"It feels really comfortable to eat like this." Gabriel had completely lost the reserve of a famous chef and began to bow his head to the food on the plate.

Of course, he had a very legitimate reason to convince himself, that is: "As a three-star Michelin chef, you need to maintain your due enthusiasm for all food."

And with the passion for food, everything else is just a cloud.

As a result, these three exotic dishes disappeared into Gabriel's stomach in a short while.

"Well, I seem to be full." Gabriel looked at the empty plate, and then couldn't help but touch his stomach.

But as soon as he touched his belly, Gabriel couldn't help but frown: "Where are my eight-pack abs?"

Gabriel felt his belly bulge slightly, but it was not the normal feel of his abdominal muscles, and he was momentarily confused.

Thinking of his abdominal muscles, Gabriel thought of himself who hadn't exercised for several days: "I haven't exercised since I came to China? I'm too full now, so it doesn't show up. It should come out again after digestion, but tonight it should Start exercising, just for two hours.”

Thinking this way, Gabriel attributed the sudden disappearance of his abdominal muscles to eating too much and not exercising.

He completely forgot about the fried chicken, skewers, potatoes, hot pot, pot helmets, dumplings, vermicelli and various meats he had eaten, as well as the six meals he had just eaten.

"Wow!" Gabriel stood up, then nodded slightly to Yuan Zhou to express his gratitude, and then walked out of the shop.

"Huh, it's so delicious, but my appetite is too small." Gabriel looked at the shop with some regret, and then walked forward slowly.

“It’s also a good choice to hike back tonight with the navigation on.

"Gabriel thought as he looked at the busy Taoxi Road at night.

Of course, while thinking this way, Gabriel had already arranged breakfast, lunch, and dinner for tomorrow.

It's very simple, that is, eating three meals at Yuanzhou's small shop, and eating the remaining snacks outside for midnight snacks. This will not affect his ability to spy on Yuanzhou's cooking skills, nor will it affect his exploration of Chinese cuisine. There is no need to delay the two.

Gabriel plans to eat six meals a day, three main meals, three complementary meals, and spend the rest of the time exercising, so that's about it.

Time passed very quickly, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. It was only a week before the dim sum party Yuan Zhou mentioned, and it had been ten days since Gabriel arrived in Chengdu.

He didn't go outside the hotel area in the first four days, but he went far away later. He could now walk from the hotel to Taoxi Road where Yuan Zhou was located with his eyes closed.

He also ate half of the delicacies along the way, which was a good progress. Just as he was eating afternoon tea and heading to Yuanzhou's shop in the afternoon, his cell phone suddenly rang.

The call came from Gabriel's assistant, Garcia, a tall girl with brown hair and brown eyes, who spoke softly.

"El, are you okay in China?" Garcia's gentle voice came from the phone.

"Oh, Garcia, I'm very good in China. It's really a paradise for chefs. I got a lot of inspiration. It's so wonderful." After saying this, Gabriel took a bite of the brushed potato skewers he just bought.

"Then when are you going to come back? The store needs you El." Garcia asked.

"Didn't I just come here? Just watch." Gabriel said casually, marveling at the perfect combination of cheese, potatoes and peppers.

"No, El, you have been to China for ten days, a full ten days." Garcia said helplessly.

"Really? I feel like I haven't been here long, and I haven't even finished eating in such a small street." Gabriel couldn't help but take another bite of the cheese potato and savored it carefully.

"El, the store really needs you. After all, you are the chef in the store, right?" Garcia could only emphasize again.

"Well, let's do this. Garcia, I will definitely not be able to come back in a short time. Please help me submit a resignation report. Thank you." Between going back and staying, Gabriel said without thinking.

"..." Garcia on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. It was so long that Gabriel had already hung up the phone. When he was about to put away his phone, Garcia's voice came from the other end: "El, this is you. Who are you going to resign to in your own store? The shareholders?"

Yes, Garcia, who has always been gentle, couldn't stand Gabriel's off-line, and couldn't help but have a bad tone.

"Uh? That's right. This seems to be my own shop." After hearing what Garcia said, Gabriel finally remembered that the poor restaurant belonged to him, but he didn't think about it for long and said directly: "Then close it. The store will be open for half a year, everyone can go back and rest, and of course I will compensate you."

"..." Garcia was completely speechless.

"Hey, Garcia?" Gabriel asked aloud.

"Okay, you are the BOSS and you have the final say." Garcia gave up completely and then agreed to Gabriel's request.

"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll let my lawyer help you handle the compensation and store closing issues." Gabriel said and hung up the phone.

"Well, it seems like I can stay longer, at least I have to finish the menu." Gabriel thought as he thought of the not-so-thick menu in Yuanzhou's store.

Of course, he still didn't forget to call his lawyer after eating the cheese and spicy potatoes.

Looking at the hung up phone on the other end, Garcia, who had just suddenly lost his job, looked angry and could no longer be gentle. He said bitterly: "I heard that Chef Chu's assistants have the highest salary but are easy to lose their jobs, but I think... Now El is no longer reliable, what kind of magic power does this damn China have?"

"Damn it." Garcia cursed again, took a deep breath, then walked out of the office and went to the restaurant to tell everyone the news.

In fact, it's not that Gabriel is willful. As a relatively young chef with three Michelin stars, he has a lot of money, and he also has shares in some chain restaurants. This money is enough for him to squander, even if the closure of the store affects him. Can't reach him.

What's more, he is just trying to improve his cooking skills, so it's normal for him to close his shop. Don't you see that some chefs only open their shops for half a year or three months, and spend the rest of their time traveling around.

To put it nicely, it means looking for inspiration for new dishes, but to put it badly, it means wandering around.

Speaking of which, Gabriel, who was so willful for the first time, was really responsible.

Having said that, because Gabriel was so serious before, it can be understood that he came to China too late.
