Chapter 1927 Good News Bad News

"Silver Spoon is a recommendation system. It requires joint recommendation from three famous Shandong cuisine experts. Xiao Yuan, you definitely don't have to worry. It just depends on whether you want to participate." Zhou Shijie said.

No wonder it is said that the four major domestic awards are very closed-ended and cannot be entered without recommendations.

"I definitely can't miss the opportunity to compete with famous Shandong cuisine chefs." Yuan Zhou agreed decisively.

In fact, for every other cuisine, I have communicated with many top masters. Only Shandong cuisine has just been acquired, which means I have in-depth exchanges with Zhou Shijie. Even if it is not a mission, such an opportunity cannot be easily missed.

"Uncle Zhou is one of my recommenders. The rules require three recommenders. The other two famous Shandong chefs, can I ask Wang and Yue, two famous chefs?" Yuan Zhou asked.

Chef Wang and Chef Yue are also famous Shandong cuisine chefs. They met when they were cooking cattle.

"No, after knowing that you, Xiao Yuan, would participate in the Silver Spoon Selection, Old Man Zhuang and Old Man Mai both took the initiative to find me and wanted to be your recommender, Xiao Yuan." Zhou Shijie said.

The Old Man Zhuang and Old Man Mai mentioned by President Zhou are naturally famous chefs in Lu. They once had a meal with Zhou Shijie at the God of Cooking Shop and were conquered by their cooking skills.

In the eyes of Chef Zhuang and Chef Mai, being able to be Yuan Zhou's recommender is quite prestigious.

"That's really Chef Lao Mai and Chef Zhuang."

Yuan Zhou remembered that not long ago, Uncle Zhou brought two old people to eat Shandong cuisine. When they arrived, they ordered the signature dishes of Shandong cuisine, such as nine-turn large intestine, roasted tendons with green onions, peach blossom pan, clear soup with white fungus and other dishes. At that time, Yuan Zhou Zhou thought that these two were probably masters of Shandong cuisine, otherwise the dishes he ordered would not be exactly what he wanted.

"They are as happy as I am that the Shandong cuisine silver spoon can be passed down by you, Xiao Yuan." Zhou Shijie said.

"This Silver Spoon Award is very important to Shandong cuisine." Zhou Shijie said: "Xiao Yuan, you know that the most important things in our Shandong cuisine are firework and spoon turning, especially spoon turning. There are gorgeous and practical movements. , there are too many small turning spoons, large turning spoons, assisted turning spoons, suspended turning spoons, shaking spoons, rotating spoons, hand spoons, etc.”

"Xiao Yuan, there is no doubt about your cooking skills, but the other three chefs participating this time should pay more attention." Zhou Shijie made the matter clear.

"Are four people participating in this silver spoon selection together?" Yuan Zhou was concerned about another question.

"Well, in addition to you, Xiao Yuan, there are three other chefs who are the mainstays of Shandong cuisine. One is Gao Fei, who is known to turn things upside down, and Chef Qin Hua, who was defeated by me in the last session. The last one is Bai Subo, Xiao Yuan, you should have heard something." Zhou Shijie introduced.

Bai Subo, Yuan Zhou is indeed familiar with this name. He is the executive director of the Shandong Cuisine Association, and most importantly, the apprentice of Mo Yuchu.

"Chef Gao, Chef Bai, and Chef Qin are all powerful chefs." Yuan Zhou said.

Zhou Shijie nodded and handed a piece of paper to Yuan Zhou. On it was clearly written some information about the people he just mentioned, including basic information and some achievements.

It is indeed one of the four highest honors in the country, equivalent to the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award. It is a competition between chefs in their fifties who are already famous chefs. It is really dazzling for a young man like Yuan Zhou to participate in it.

What happened next was naturally trivial. After Zhou Shijie told Yuan Zhou about Yin Shao's business, he talked about some trivial matters about the Sino-French exchange meeting.

The time passed quickly as the old man and the young man came and went.

An hour later, Yuan Zhou saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye and returned to the shop.

Not long after arriving at the store, I received a call from Alma, the auctioneer.

"Boss Yuan has good news and bad news. Let me tell you the good news first." Alma said the first sentence.

"Even though there are very few red diamonds on the market, through our efforts at the auction, we found a 2.1-carat red diamond that we were willing to sell."

Alma was asking for credit, but Yuanzhou also knew that he was indeed capable, so he sincerely thanked her.

"2.1 carats, is it too small for a diamond engagement ring?" Yuan Zhou was silent for a while and asked such a spiritual question.

Alma was stunned. Is this human language?

"Chef Yuan's 2.1-carat red diamond is also the second largest red diamond in the world so far." Alma explained that the size of colored diamonds cannot be compared with the size of ordinary diamonds.

"So Mr. Alma, what's the bad news?" Yuan Zhou asked.

"The bad news is that this red diamond is a collection of the famous Indian chef Dul ​​Modi. He knows that Chef Yuan is known as the Peak of Asia and hopes to have a culinary exchange with Chef Yuan." Alex explained the matter. Said it again.

Yuan Zhou was a little confused. There were two reasons for this confusion. Yuan Zhou knew the name Dul Modi and was known as "the most talented chef in the Indian Ocean". However, according to Yuan Zhou, he had retired for a long time. The Asian Federation of Celebrity Chefs invited Dul Modi, but the invitation was unsuccessful.

Why did he suddenly come back to the world and want to communicate.

Secondly, is it so profitable to be a chef in India? Such expensive red diamonds are considered collectibles.

Regarding Yuan Zhou's doubts, Alma soon answered one of them. Dul Modi's Modi Family Company is a Fortune 500 company in India and a large company in the world.

Dul Modi quit cooking at the age of sixty-one. In addition to feeling that his cooking skills were at their peak after winning the Bocuse d'Or World Culinary Competition, the other reason was that his family was too rich and he felt that being a chef was not enough. Just like that, I went home and inherited the family business.

After hearing this, Yuan Zhou had only one feeling: Coach, I also want to inherit the family business!

"As for why you want to communicate with Chef Yuan, maybe it's because Chef Yuan is too famous. Isn't Chef Yuan known as the Peak of Asia?" Alma could only give a speculative answer to this question.

This answer is reasonable, but before, Singapore's national treasure chef Opello, some reports said that he was the best in Asia, and Dul Modi did not come to challenge him.

"Chef Yuan, do you agree to Mr. Dul Modi's request? If you agree, we will start the process here." Alma waited for Yuan Zhou's answer.

Theoretically speaking, although Yuan Zhou knew a little bit about Indian cuisine, he was very happy to communicate with a famous chef who had won the gold medal of the Bocuse d'Or.

"No problem, I'm also looking forward to communicating with Chef Duer." Yuan Zhou replied.

"That's no problem, we'll do it right away." Alma hung up the phone after saying that.

The red diamond was sold and purchased by Duer and Yuanzhou and was not sold at the auction. Alma's auction was also equivalent to a third party in this transaction. On the one hand, it was to detect the safety of the seller's red diamond and the buyer's funds. On the other hand, it was On the other hand, it is an aid to other procedures.

Although he has to charge a commission, Yuanzhou feels that it is good to have a third party.

…

Ps: Guess why Duer wants to communicate with Yuan Zhou, it’s a foreshadowing laid by Caimao!
