Chapter 1572 Various Invitations
Before Yuan Zhou could answer, Manfred spoke again.
"Even before this, my understanding of Chinese food was very shallow, but after seeing Chef Yuan's personal cooking show, I realized that Chinese food is so varied and exquisite." Manfred said.
In fact, if you still want to add an adjective to Chinese food, then Manfred and August would add a mystery.
Mystery actually refers to things that we don’t understand. It is not a compliment, but a neutral term at most.
Wu Hai translated their words to Yuan Zhou. After hearing this, Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered his goal - the God of Cooking.
Naturally, the God of Cooking needs to be recognized by the entire chef world, and Yuanzhou also thought about what Zhou Shijie once said about the international community not paying attention to Chinese food, and he felt a little moved in his heart.
"If Chef Yuan is willing to become the head of the China Celebrity Chefs Federation, then the Celebrity Chefs Federation will definitely cooperate with Chef Yuan."
Seeing that Yuan Zhou had not spoken yet, Manfred kept up his efforts and said as if he was promising.
After speaking this time, Manfred handed over the formal invitation agreed yesterday.
This invitation was packed in a kraft envelope and sealed with wax. It also had the seal of the Celebrity Chefs Federation printed on it. On the front, the words Yuan Zhou personally wrote it in Chinese, French and English. It can be said to be very formal. .
Yuan Zhou paused and then took the invitation with both hands and said, "Thank you, I will seriously consider it and reply tomorrow."
"Okay, I hope Chef Yuan will seriously consider it." Manfred said directly without saying much this time.
"I will." Yuan Zhou nodded.
Then the two began to say goodbye and leave, but when they reached the door, August couldn't help but turn around and said: "Hey, Chef Yuan, I want to come to your place for dinner at noon, do you think that's okay?"
When he said this, the face of the little old man August was full of expectation and pleading.
Yuan Zhou said naturally: "Of course, everyone who comes to eat is my diners."
"Thank you so much, I will definitely come early at noon." After August said this, he happily pulled Manfred and left.
In fact, August specifically explained that he did so out of respect for Yuan Zhou and did not want him to misunderstand that he was here to urge Yuan Zhou to make a decision.
Obviously Yuan Zhou replied like this after he understood.
As soon as August and Manfred went out, three people from the Green Kitchen Club came in.
The people from the Qing Kitchen Club happened to pass by Wu Hai. Wu Hai was always measured and would never inquire about anything other than the delicious food Yuan Zhou made, but he was very active in helping.
For Wu Hai, everything is about eating.
Eating is the highest belief.
Back in the store, the three members of the Green Kitchen Club were all wearing suits. Qin Kaili, the only beautiful secretary-general, was wearing a gray suit with silver palace-style buttons. The remaining two were also wearing formal black suits, very meticulous. look.
As soon as the three of them entered the store, they bowed seriously and said, "Hello, Chef Yuan."
"I read your email and I agreed." Yuan Zhou said directly without waiting for the three of them to speak.
As soon as these words came out, the three people across from Yuan Zhou were immediately confused, and the long speech they had prepared was choked in their throats.
All of a sudden, the three of them didn't know whether to be happy or grateful, and the scene was very embarrassing.
Of course Yuanzhou didn't feel it and was just waiting for them to issue the appointment letter of the president.
In the end, it was the long-tested vice president Liao Yue who came to his senses first and said: "Thank you very much, Chef Yuan, for accepting our invitation."
Liao Yue thanked him first, and then turned his head and urged Qin Kaili beside him to quickly take out the invitation letter.
Qin Kaili came back to her senses and immediately took out documents and invitations from the briefcase on the side. These all required Yuan Zhou's signature.
"Chef Yuan, please." Qin Kaili handed over the document and said respectfully.
"Should I sign it for you now or in a few days?" Yuan Zhou took the document and asked.
The three of them looked at each other, and Liao Yue said: "If it's more convenient, it would be best to sign now. Can you think of it?"
"Okay." Yuan Zhou nodded, took Qin Kaili's pen again, turned over the document and signed it.
Yuan Zhou pressed the document with his slender hand, and with a pen in his right hand, he read and signed the document.
The content of the document is similar to the email sent to Yuan Zhou. They are both very sincere and very sincere about the duties of the president.
Speaking of which, Yuan Zhou's acceptance of the invitation from the Green Kitchen Club has a lot to do with Zhou Shijie.
This is about the seven-minute phone call Yuan Zhou received while preparing ingredients.
While Yuan Zhou was racing against time to prepare breakfast ingredients, Zhou Shijie called.
"President Zhou?" Yuan Zhou looked at the ringing cell phone with confusion.
You must know that Zhou Shijie is the last person to call Yuan Zhou in the morning. After all, he cherishes Yuan Zhou as he cherishes his own children. He knows that Yuan Zhou is busy in the morning and will not call at this time unless there is something important.
Therefore, Yuanzhou dried his hands and answered the phone.
"Good morning, Xiao Yuan, may I bother you to prepare breakfast." Zhou Shijie's voice rang on the other end of the phone.
"I have ten minutes of free time, so I don't have any." Yuan Zhou said.
"Haha, you are still so honest. You must have squeezed it out of your own rest, so I won't say more and just get down to business." Zhou Shijie smiled at first, and then his tone became much more serious.
"Well, Uncle Zhou, please tell me," Yuan Zhou said.
"You kid, call me Uncle Zhou, and I will explain it to you naturally. But today we are short, so I will briefly explain it first." Zhou Shijie said.
"Yeah." Yuan Zhou responded.
"I should have told you this a long time ago, but I always wanted to wait until your cooking skills became better before I told you. But I didn't expect you to give the old man such a big surprise at the cooking show, so I have to tell you now." Zhou Shijie was both proud and a little worried.
But this time, without waiting for Yuan Zhou to answer, Zhou Shijie continued speaking on his own: "There must be a lot of people asking you to join the club after your cooking show this time. You have to choose a few to join these clubs, little Yuan."
"We are like this. We always stick to a team in everything we do, so we have this meeting and that organization. Of course it's okay if you don't join at first, and I don't want you to be distracted, but now it's time to join."
"Just like in the Ancient Sichuan Cuisine Culture Research Association, some of the replicas of ancient cooking techniques can only be seen by the chefs who have joined. This is a rule set by everyone. Even I, the president of the Kitchen Federation, cannot see it at will.
. "
"There is also the China Culinary Culture Communication Institute, which contains many records of improving major cuisines."
"The Chefs Welfare Guarantee Association is for us chefs to ask for benefits from above and to protect the rights and interests of our grassroots chefs. Such an organization is also indispensable."
"This is also a way to ensure that the inheritance of our chefs is not lost and that it does not become a waste on the street."
"Like your communication video, Xiao Yuan, we have carefully sealed it and only use the copied version to watch at some conferences. This will also be the inheritance of our culinary culture in the future."
Zhou Shijie spoke a lot in one breath and analyzed the pros and cons of joining the association in detail to Yuan Zhou.
"Well, Uncle Zhou, what do you think I should add?" Yuanzhou suddenly had a headache when he thought of the dense invitations in his mailbox and asked directly.
"I have screened them all for you. I asked Zhong Lili to send them to you in the afternoon. All you need is Xiao Yuan to be a director or honorary vice president. I didn't give it to you for the Green Chef Association. They came by themselves and joined The Green Chef Association is all a younger generation of chefs, and the situation is different. You can decide for yourself whether you want to be their president." Zhou Shijie was always so attentive to Yuan Zhou.
"Okay, thank you for the meeting." Yuan Zhou said.
Then, Zhou Shijie hung up the phone. The situation of the Green Kitchen Club was indeed different. From a system perspective, Yuanzhou had skipped the most famous ones in China and became famous in Asia.
Forget about the Chinese Kitchen Federation, after all, there is such a thing as qualifications, but the Qing Chef Association is all young people, so there is no such thing as qualifications. Who else can be there besides Yuan Zhou?
This is just like the president of the Chinese Basketball Association is not Yao Ming. This is simply impossible.
Even if he was given an honorary president or vice president, he would not be able to convince the public. The president of the Green Kitchen Association must be Yuan Zhou.
That's why, right after the solo show, they came.
It was also with Zhou Shijie's preface that Yuan Zhou had a rough idea and agreed to become the president so quickly.
