Chapter 1619 Good News and Better News

Yuan Zhou watched Shen Min get on the last bus, then got up and went out, directly hailing a taxi. Within five minutes, the vehicle arrived at the intersection.

Motor vehicles are not allowed on Taoxi Road, and Yuan Zhou will definitely not take the lead in breaking the rules.

After getting in the car, Yuan Zhou said, "Master Liang, please excuse me. I'll be at this address."

After saying that, Yuanzhou handed the phone directly to the driver.

Master Liang took over the positioning, entered his navigation, and said: "It's not troublesome at all. I happen to work the night shift. As soon as I heard that it was Boss Yuan using the car, I immediately grabbed the order."

Immediately, Master Liang said enthusiastically: "Is it safe for Boss Yuan to go to the countryside so late? Do you want me to accompany you?"

Master Liang is forty-two this year. Because he worked underground in construction when he was young and now runs every day, he is quite strong. Anyway, it is no problem to be a temporary bodyguard.

"Thank you, Master Liang, but it's quite safe over there, no problem." Yuan Zhou said, he was still very confident in the system.

"It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe." Master Liang muttered to himself.

As mentioned before, because the tavern was open for beer, Yuanzhou found a reliable driver and driver.

Master Liang belongs to the category of reliable driver, one of the ten good citizens in Chengdu. The reason why he became a good citizen is because he saved two lives and captured a fugitive.

Saving two lives is easy to understand, it is a pregnant woman who was bleeding heavily, but being a taxi driver and arresting a fugitive sounds a bit legendary.

There are fewer cars going out of the city at night, so it’s not crowded at all.

Yuan Zhou said hello to Master Liang and prepared to take a nap first.

Going back and forth for two and a half hours will definitely affect his sleep time. He has to open a store tomorrow, so Yuanzhou decided to rest in the car.

"Go to sleep, I'll call you when you get there." Master Liang said enthusiastically.

As a veteran driver for fifteen years, Master Liang drove very steadily. Moreover, after Yuan Zhou said he wanted to take a nap, he paid special attention to it. The whole process was fast and stable.

Seventy-three minutes later, when they arrived at the ranch where cows were systematically grazed in the suburbs, Master Liang turned around and woke up Yuan Zhou.

"Boss Yuan, I'll pick you up in about an hour and a half.

See if it works. "Master Liang said.

"Then I'm sorry, Master Liang." Yuan Zhou thanked him and stood on the side of the road.

Master Liang said: "We taxis like to take long-distance orders. Only when we have big orders can we make money. I should thank Boss Yuan."

He would not stop thanking him any more. Yuan Zhou nodded and entered the ranch through the gate. Master Liang watched Yuan Zhou's back walk out of sight before starting the car.

The reason why Master Liang respects Yuan Zhou so much is not because Yuan Zhou introduced him to business, but because Yuan Zhou is a very good chef and can conquer foreigners.

Master Liang respects anyone who can bring glory to the country.

The words were divided into two parts. Yuanzhou, who walked into the ranch, couldn't help but complain about the system.

"I haven't noticed before when I came during the day. Why does this ranch look like a ghost manor?"

There are dim street lights and endless pitch-black grass. From time to time, there is a cool breeze blowing by, making a "whispering" sound.

"If it were a timid person, I would definitely feel embarrassed. Fortunately, it's me, a brave and cold-hearted man who is good at art."

I saw Yuan Zhou walking in with an expressionless face. There was no time to waste. Yuan Zhou walked to the ranch house, changed his clothes, and took the time to start directly.

On the other side, something happened without Yuan Zhou knowing.

In the Green Kitchen Association conference hall.

Liao Yue summoned several famous chefs again. Because they only talked about important events during the gathering, the chefs on the scene seemed a little impatient.

"Vice President, if you have anything to say, please tell me quickly. It's so late at night."

"Yes, yes, I have to look at the hotel's monthly bill today."

"I asked before, is there anything that really can't be said over the phone? Video conferencing is all the rage now."

Liao Yue raised his hand, lowered his voice a little, and then said: "Today, Secretary-General Zhong of the Kitchen Federation posted a message on the official website and official Weibo of the Kitchen Federation, asking for urgent purchase of ancient books on cooking at favorable prices. "

Hearing this, the faces of the chefs from the Green Kitchen Association were even more uninterested. After all, Zhong Lili was only the Secretary General of the Kitchen Federation.

This is not about watching people prepare dishes, but ancient books and prescriptions are very precious. If placed in the hands of a non-cook, they are only used for collection at most, and this is just collecting dust.

Just like Kang Hu was muttering in his heart, if President Zhou was asking for a purchase, he might still agree. As the president of the Kitchen Federation, Zhou Shijie's cooking skills are definitely top-notch. The most important thing is that Zhou Shijie initiated a " The "Ancient Cuisine Is Real" activity has restored many ancient recipes.

What's more, the people who can sit here are all chefs, not people who are short of money. The words "good price" are not attractive.

"I have never liked collecting ancient books and prescriptions. I can't help it."

"I can't help you with the Vice President's matter. Not long ago, my little grandson was playing in my study and destroyed all my ancient books."

"I originally had a few copies at home, but I happened to lend them to a friend. What a coincidence, my friend went abroad and I don't know when he will come back."

The chefs sitting here began to be careless.

Everyone's reaction was as expected by Liao Yue, who continued: "According to my understanding of Secretary-General Zhong, if she were to purchase it herself, it would be impossible for her to use her official WeChat account to announce the news, and President Zhou would not even do so. I know how to do this, so I called to inquire and found out that the person who wanted to buy ancient books and prescriptions was Chairman Yuan Zhou."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present looked at Liao Yue with the same gaze, as if to say: Are you serious?

Liao Yue said: "Although I didn't call Chairman Yuan Zhou to confirm, I asked Secretary-General Zhong clearly. It was Chairman Zhou who told me that it was our Chairman Yuan Zhou who wanted to buy ancient books and prescriptions, and he was in a hurry."

"So originally, I asked everyone to come here to see if they could help. Since no one can do anything, I have collected a few ancient books myself, so I will send them there myself." Liao Yue looked regretful. said.

When everyone heard this, they realized that this was the moment to establish a good relationship with the president, how could they miss it.

"No, no, no, President Yuan Zhou is the president of our Green Chef Association. How can I let you, the vice president, work alone? I still have a few books here." Kang Hu said immediately.

"Director Kang is right, the vice president cannot be responsible for this matter alone."

"We are also part of the Green Kitchen Association."

The speed with which he changed his mind was astonishing.

"Didn't you say that your grandson broke it and you said you lent it to a friend?" Liao Yue asked jokingly.

"I forgot just now, there are still one or two that are not broken."

"What a coincidence. My friend just sent me a text message and said he came back from abroad."

Each one is more serious than the other. Anyway, the chefs of the Qing Kitchen Club have seventeen ancient books and seven ancient recipes.

After Liao Yue finished counting, he couldn't help but sigh: "President Yuan Zhou is really a good president."

Why is there such a sigh? Ancient books and recipes are really treasures for chefs, but as soon as I heard that Yuan Zhou was buying them, I immediately collected so many of them.

This is not just because of Yuan Zhou's excellent cooking skills, but also because Yuan Zhou is very conscientious as the president.

From the first moment he took office, he proposed exchange conferences for young chefs and then sculpted and observed them, without any secrets.

This situation occurred precisely because Kang Hu and others, including him, Liao Yue, admired Yuan Zhou.

The night passed quickly.

Because I slept in the car on the way back and forth, I didn’t waste much sleep.

"Speaking of the system, I remembered one thing." Yuan Zhou said: "My sleep quality has always been very good, so even if I sleep less, I am full of energy the next day. Is it because of your help, the system?"

The system is silent.

"Come on, don't be embarrassed. I remember I read a book before. There are several types of sleep, and deep sleep generally only accounts for more than 20% of all sleep time. In fact, a normal person only needs a few Hours of deep sleep are enough."

Yuan Zhou said: "But deep sleep is difficult to achieve. System little friend, did you do something?"

The system now reads: "This system just hopes that the host can have more time to focus on cooking."

Saying this means that the system has admitted that it has indeed helped Yuan Zhou enter a deep sleep.

"Hahaha, no need to explain, no need to explain, I understand everything."

Yuanzhou was in a good mood after teasing the system. The most important thing was that the trip to the ranch last night was a success. With the experience of the cook, comparing it with reality, the growth rate was no joke.

"It won't be long before I can kill a cow with a knife." Yuan Zhou, dressed in sportswear, started running in the morning.

After returning from my morning run and preparing breakfast, I received a call from Zhou Shijie.

This was really not a coincidence, but Zhou Shijie had calculated the call during Yuan Zhou's free time. After all, Yuan Zhou was called Compass, and apart from following strict rules, he was very punctual.

"There must be good news." Yuan Zhou thought to himself, and then answered the phone.

"Xiao Yuan, I have good news and better news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Zhou Shijie's laughing voice came from the other end of the phone.

Yuan Zhou said: "Then let's hear the good news first."

"The good news is that we have some clues about purchasing ancient books and prescriptions." Zhou Shijie said.

Although he had expected it, he was still happy when he heard this. He suppressed his mood and asked, "Uncle Zhou, what is the other better news?"

"Another news is that this time we are looking for ancient books and ancient prescriptions. There are seventeen ancient books and seven ancient prescriptions in the inquiry." Zhou Shijie on the other end of the phone said: "This is really rare. I remember doing cooking once in the Kitchen Federation. The collection of ancient prescription books took one month to collect thirty ancient books and 12 ancient prescriptions.”

"Collected so much?" Yuan Zhou was a little dumbfounded. Originally he just wanted to complete the task, but now he has overfulfilled the task.

"Hahaha, you didn't expect it, Xiao Yuan," Zhou Shijie said with a smile.

Yuan Zhou nodded: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it."

It is really interesting to say that Liao Yue and others, almost every one of them took out a copy, but they all used the vest to contact Zhong Lili online.

This directly led to Zhou Shijie not even knowing that it was the Qingchuhui group that did it.

The reason for doing this is because Wan Li pointed out that since Yuanzhou asked the Kitchen Federation to send out the news, he must not want to trouble the people around him.

Not to mention other things, would the recruiter be happy if Technician Cheng contributed two ancient books and prescriptions?

Therefore, Wan Li believed that the name should be kept anonymous, but Yuan Zhou would not know about it.

In the end, Kang Hu and others agreed to Wan Li's plan, not for anything else but for their own improvement in knife skills.

"The transaction price is currently being negotiated. We will let you know after we finalize the transaction time and location." Zhou Shijie said.

"That's troublesome for Uncle Zhou," Yuan Zhou said.

"I hope you'll trouble me more." Zhou Shijie said with a smile, "Okay, I won't disturb you in preparing breakfast. I'll hang up now."

"Well, Uncle Zhou remembers to have breakfast." Yuan Zhou nodded.

After the two hung up the phone, Yuan Zhou was about to say something to the system, but after hesitating for a while, he gave up. After all, the system had just reached its rebellious stage and couldn't be pushed too hard.

After breakfast and lunch, and after setting aside time to practice knife skills, Yuanzhou used the remaining time to dial Lian Carpenter's phone number.

Although they may not have called each other for a long time, the master and apprentice have always been in contact. Yuan Zhou would visit him in person during holidays. Even the carpenter himself said that Yuan Zhou was his half-son.

Yuanzhou approached Lian Carpenter this time because he had a vessel that needed Lian Carpenter's help in making. Because it was a large vessel and the process was not simple, and he could make it in a short time, there was no one else but Lian Carpenter.

After dinner, Yuanzhou made an appointment with Yin Ya to come to the store. Today is a very special day.

"Today is our half-year anniversary together. I made you a chocolate cake that you love." Yuan Zhou brought out a cake the size of a rice bowl from the kitchen, and then there was a small half glass of red wine on the table.

Yin Ya pouted and looked at Yuan Zhou angrily. Although she was happy to have a cake made by her boyfriend, now was not the time to be happy!

"Yuan Mutou, what on earth do you want to do? You made me a mango layer cake for thirty days of love, and then made me a coffee cake to commemorate two months, a nut cake for three months, an ice cream cake for four months, and a strawberry mousse for May. Si, a big cake every month, I have gained a lot of weight!" Yin Ya couldn't help pinching her waist as she spoke, feeling resentful.

And the important point is that Yin Ya knows that Yuan Zhouhui has a lot of cakes, and even if he eats them for the rest of his life, he will never be the same again.

"Chocolate cake is your favorite chocolate. It will definitely taste good if you bite into it." Yuan Zhou did not answer Yin Ya's question and asked instead: "You really don't want to try it?"

Hearing this, Yin Ya was not so confident. She looked at the beautiful chocolate cake again and said, "This is the last one. We can't use cakes next month to commemorate our seven months together."

"Okay, no problem." Yuan Zhou nodded, that's what Yin Ya said in May.

Yin Ya felt relieved after receiving Yuan Zhou's assurance. She sat down and used a small spoon as a knife to cut off a small piece of chocolate cake.

It hasn't been fed to the mouth yet, but just passed it to the mouth, and the fragrant chocolate flavor is full. Full of nose.

Some people say that eating some chocolate will make you feel better when you are in a bad mood. This is based on scientific evidence, but Yin Ya feels happy even before she eats it.

Squinting her eyes, Yin Ya swallowed the cake on the small spoon in one gulp. The first thing she felt was the aroma of chocolate rushing into her throat.

Then the tip of the tongue felt a faint sweetness, but the sweetness was instantly covered by the bitterness of chocolate. This was not the end. After the bitterness spread, the faint sweetness followed closely.

The rich and silky feeling spreads from the tip of the tongue to the entire mouth, and the taste is rich and colorful.

The sweetness and bitterness of chocolate are vividly reflected in the mouth.

"It's delicious!" Yin Ya half-squinted her eyes like a cat.

After eating the cake, I drank half a glass of red wine. I was satisfied and felt that the fatigue from the day's work had disappeared.

In the end, Yuan Zhou was satisfied with the food. Yin Ya, who had forgotten to lose weight again, went home. The evening arrangements were still the same. After the tavern closed, they went directly to the ranch.
