Chapter 1543 Crazy Hint
Although Zhou Shijie thought so in his heart, he was actually very happy and went to see August off to the hotel with a smile on his face.
Well, we have to entertain him by the way. After all, he is also a high-status French celebrity chef, so Zhou Shijie can only entertain him personally.
At this time, Yuan Zhou should actually come to entertain him in person, but Zhou Shijie directly said that Yuan Zhou was preparing for the cooking show, so August could only give up his wish to meet Yuan Zhou in advance.
On the other hand, Yuan Zhou, who was said by Zhou Shijie to be seriously preparing for the cooking show without visitors, had just finished his lunch time and was taking a rest, preparing to continue practicing his cooking skills for a while.
Chu Xiao arrived at this time.
At that time, Yuan Zhou had just changed into a light blue narrow-sleeved Hanfu. He was dressed very straight as usual, with a straight waist and a lotus pattern embroidered on the collar and cuffs. He was sitting on the chef's chair with his eyes slightly closed. , recuperating.
"Tap tap" Chu Xiao stepped into the store, but Yuan Zhou didn't even open his eyes and said directly: "Lunch time has passed, please come back for dinner at that time."
"I'm not here to eat." Chu Xiao said with a smile.
"I know, you stopped by to take a look at the new menu." Yuan Zhou said and opened his eyes.
"Yes, I accepted the invitation to participate in your cooking show." Chu Xiao said.
"Yeah." Yuan Zhou nodded, and then said, "You won't be disappointed."
"Of course, I believe in my own vision." Chu Xiao said confidently.
"No, I believe in my cooking skills." Yuan Zhou did not stand up, but his momentum was no worse than that of Chu Xiao who was standing.
"Don't you want me to sit down?" Chu Xiao said.
"Please sit down, there is no water here." Yuan Zhou did not ask Chu Xiao to sit down, but said calmly.
"Then I think the things I brought can still be put inside and replaced with a glass of water." Chu Xiao said.
This time Yuan Zhou didn't say anything, but opened the partition and walked out directly. Then he opened the door of the Yingxiang wall and motioned for Chu Xiao to follow.
During this period, Yuan Zhou did not ask Chu Xiao what news he had brought, and Chu Xiao did not say anything. The two of them just walked quietly into the courtyard of the tavern.
This time Yuan Zhou took Chu Xiao to the front yard.
Ever since he and Yin Ya made love in the backyard,
Yuan Zhou rarely takes anyone to the backyard to discuss things. This is due to Yuan Zhou's tenderness towards Yin Ya.
It was said to be clear water, but it really was clear water. Yuanzhou carried a wooden kettle and two wooden cups and placed them directly in front of the two of them.
This wooden kettle is oily and shiny, with clear and beautiful texture, and a hint of ancient charm. The warm touch of the cup is very comfortable in such a slightly hot weather.
Although the cup has no handle, it is not slippery and is very ergonomic to hold. The mouth of the cup is round and delicate and does not have the rough feeling of wood at all.
"It's a casual carving. It's okay to just drink some water." Yuan Zhou said casually.
"It seems that your wood carving has improved." Chu Xiao held the cup and continued without any care: "Then next time I will also give you two of my free game creations."
Yuanzhou instantly remembered the cross-border express delivery sent by Chu Xiao, and couldn't help but said in his heart: "The work of returning the game must have been secretly poking for a long time."
Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Yuan Zhou still said calmly: "That's fine. If you like this cup, you can take it with you. It's a small gadget. I can carve a few for practice."
This time it was Chu Xiao's turn to twitch the corner of his mouth.
Fortunately, neither of them were competitive people. After a few words, Chu Xiao took the initiative to mention the purpose of his visit today.
"There is a final link in foreign personal cooking exhibitions where participants are required to judge whether they are satisfied or dissatisfied, and then the final result is obtained." Chu Xiao said: "Only those with a satisfaction rate of more than 50% can be considered to be held. Success, you know that.”
"Uncle Zhou has already told me about the process. Since this is the first time for me to host it in China, I will follow the foreign ones. This is indeed the case." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Well, this is what I suggested, so that we can have a comparison." Chu Xiao said.
"Indeed." Yuan Zhou said.
"This satisfaction vote only has two answers: satisfaction and dissatisfaction. No opinions, no giving up, no middle answers." Chu Xiao continued.
"This is better." Yuan Zhou nodded in agreement.
The purpose of the cooking show is to showcase the chef's cooking skills. Naturally, those who come to participate only need to say that they are satisfied or dissatisfied with the chef's cooking skills.
After all, this is a cooking show, not a competition.
"Speaking of it, it is very popular to hold personal cooking exhibitions abroad, but it is not that there are no chefs who have failed, and there are even many. After all, it is difficult to convince everyone, but you also have to be thoughtful. To be able to impress those who come to participate, it is not just about delicious food. "Chu Xiao said.
"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"I just happened to hold a personal cooking exhibition abroad, and the effect was pretty good." Chu Xiao continued modestly: "The satisfaction rate that time was 87%, which can be regarded as the second one in the past fifty years. Someone who has reached such a high level of satisfaction.”
"It's indeed okay." Yuan Zhou nodded pertinently.
After all, the cooking show is nothing else. It is very good to achieve 87% satisfaction. This is a personal cooking show, nothing else.
Generally speaking, if you can achieve 70% satisfaction in a personal cooking exhibition, you are considered a very good master.
You must know that one time someone was dissatisfied because the chef made a carrot decoration that he didn't like, so he directly gave an unsatisfactory answer.
Such a small detail can become a point of dissatisfaction. You can imagine how picky those people are, but this is also a requirement of the cooking show, that is, satisfaction must be given based on the most personal thoughts, or anonymously, no matter other.
"The person who holds the cooking show is usually the main cook, but sometimes one or two good friends will be asked to make two special dishes for display together." Chu Xiao paused and continued: "The media's guessing about which friend the chef will invite is also a repertoire before the start of the cooking show."
"After all, this is not a variety show, so there isn't much to watch before it starts." Chu Xiao said, spreading his hands.
"Well, I've heard about this." Yuan Zhou nodded to express his understanding.
Chu Xiao glanced at Yuan Zhou and saw that he had no intention of speaking anymore, so he said again: "I was already guessing who you would invite after reading the news."
"I didn't read this. I've been improving the menu recently." Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
"Ahem, are you going to recruit Cheng as your assistant this time?" Chu Xiao made a fist with one hand and pretended to cough.
"Well, he is responsible for maintaining the position at the kitchen door so no one can come in." Yuan Zhou nodded.
"Are you going to cook for two hundred people by yourself this time?" Chu Xiao raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Of course." Yuan Zhou nodded matter-of-factly.
"But inviting friends is an unwritten rule in personal cooking exhibitions." Chu Xiao continued.
"Oh, I don't plan to invite anyone else. The cooking show with two hundred people will last for four days, which is not much for me." Yuan Zhou said.
Chu Xiao: "..."
