Chapter 1987 Technician Cheng’s Monologue
Designing dishes may sound very simple, but there are only a dozen dishes, and even with fruit snacks, there are only more than 20 dishes.
There are more than just a few dishes in any cuisine that Yuan Zhou masters, but designing the dishes for a Jie Feng Banquet depends on the style and theme.
In the following time, in addition to thinking about the menu and practicing the dishes on the menu, I suspended the rest of the regular cooking training such as studying ancient books and practicing knife skills.
Because Yuan Zhou had held two tea parties and had several experiences communicating with top chefs, plus Yin Ya helped check a lot of information, the process went very smoothly and the menu was finalized directly.
There are a total of four cold dishes, six hot dishes plus a soup, three snacks, one fruit, and a bottle of red wine. That's it. The reason why the soup is reduced is because in terms of the amount of food, too much is a waste.
Zhou Shijie had reminded me before, so I made two different menus. Except for the different dishes, the quantities were the same.
The time soon came for the Prime Minister of Singapore to visit Chengdu.
Yin Ya was worried and proud about Yuan Zhou's participation in such a large-scale event. She took advantage of having dinner together to pay attention to the progress again.
"Mu Mu, do you want to take leave tomorrow?" Yin Ya asked.
"It is necessary. Breakfast is no problem, but lunch cannot be made. For safety reasons, it is impossible to accommodate my schedule, so I have to take a meal off." Yuan Zhou said.
"Is there enough time?" Yin Ya was not worried about anything else but about not having enough time.
"The ingredients have been stored in the kitchen over there now. All I need is for people to go over there. Dinner will be served on time at twelve o'clock. There is no problem at all." Yuan Zhou calculated the time and felt that there was no problem.
He is still very confident in his speed.
"As long as it's okay with you." Yin Ya thought about it and had nothing else to say. She couldn't get involved in this kind of thing.
Being able to help find some information before was already the limit. Does Yin Ya think she should work harder?
"Don't worry, Xiaoya, there will definitely be no problem." Yuan Zhou looked at his wife's frown and said.
"Okay." Yin Ya nodded.
She didn't know what to say other than saying yes, and she couldn't help with the cooking.
The sun came out early the next morning. Apparently, the sun also felt that today should be an important day, so it gave him enough face.
Breakfast was going on in an orderly manner. Yuanzhou followed his usual pace calmly. The diners had no idea that Yuanzhou had something important to attend today. After all, Yuanzhou's facial paralysis function was fully functioning and could not be seen at all.
As soon as breakfast was over, Yuan Zhou immediately went upstairs to change clothes. He had already given the leave request note to Su Ruoyan and asked her to wait for a while before posting it.
Su Ruoyan knew what her boss meant and agreed straightforwardly.
This time it was not Zhong Lili who drove to pick up Yuan Zhou, but Cheng Zhaomei who drove to pick him up. Due to special circumstances, he could not bring President Cheng to cook with him, but as a direct disciple, he could go with Yuan Zhou to see the market.
"The banquet for receiving the prime minister is usually prepared by the national chef. I didn't expect that I would be able to witness it today.
"Cheng Zhaomei was filled with emotion.
"I think the most correct thing I did in my life was to become a disciple regardless of other people's objections." Technician Cheng remembered that he had told his friend before that he wanted to become a disciple of Yuan Zhou.
Everyone said that Yuan Zhou was too young and was unscientific no matter what, but Technician Cheng still insisted on going his own way and came to the God of Cooking shop to help.
Now, I don’t know how many people envy him.
The banquet venue was arranged in a hotel specially designed to receive foreign dignitaries. Anyway, Yuanzhou didn't know that there was such a place in Chengdu before, and he only came into contact with it this time. However, Yuanzhou didn't pay attention to this. He was more concerned about the distance.
.
Not far from Taoxi Road.
"Master, I have already checked the route. Now go over and go around Jinhui Road. There is no traffic jam at all. We will definitely be there in twenty minutes." Cheng Zhaomei sat upright in the driver's seat.
"Follow the route you chose." Yuan Zhou still trusted his apprentice very much.
"Yes." Cheng Zhaomei knew the importance and answered while starting the car and getting ready.
Yuan Zhou is still wearing a Hanfu today, which has basically become his trademark. In line with today's more solemn occasion, Yin Ya helped choose a dark blue Hanfu with silver edges. It is neater, not a wide robe with big sleeves, but Narrow sleeves suitable for cooking and practicing.
Of course, the indispensable thing on the clothes is the dark pattern of lotus flower in the store.
Sitting in the car, Yuan Zhou did not relax. Instead, he simulated every dish of the two sets of menus in his mind. Yuan Zhou was always ready at any time and in any place.
On one side, Yuan Zhou rushed towards the hotel, while on the other side, Yin Ya took leave and headed towards the shop because she was worried.
"Why are the boss ladies here? The boss has already left, just now." Su Ruoyan was a little surprised when she saw Yin Ya.
"I know. How did you post the leave request?" Yin Ya asked.
"Not yet, I'm just getting ready." Su Ruoyan shook her head.
"Then let me help you." Yin Ya became more and more aware of her ownership.
"Yeah." Su Ruoyan smiled and nodded.
She is relatively familiar with Yin Ya. Knowing that she is the boss's wife, she is usually not very polite or refuses.
"Tap tap tap tap"
There was a sound of footsteps, and the next second Wu Hai's figure appeared at the door of the store: "Is something wrong with Compass?"
When he saw Yin Ya coming suddenly, he slipped down the slide very fast.
"No, he went to prepare a banquet for others and needs to take leave." Yin Yayan said concisely.
"Create a banquet for others? You can also ask Yuan Zhou to host a banquet. What are your requirements?" Wu Hai asked.
"Ask Yuan Zhou yourself about this." Yin Ya was not in a position to reveal it.
"Okay, then where did Yuan Zhou go to hold a banquet?"
"Ahem, you can't go to that place." Yin Ya was amused by Wu Hai's expression of being struck by lightning, and even her worry about Yuan Zhou relaxed a little.
What else could Wu Hai say, he could only go back to playing with the cat and continue growing mushrooms. He just looked at the leave application form and found that he only asked for one meal of leave, which he could afford if he was hungry.
Cheng Zhaomei had good driving skills and the road conditions were good. She arrived at the hotel within the scheduled time and there were already people waiting at the door.
It was one of the young men named Xiao Ding assigned to Yuan Zhou to do chores. He was in his thirties, of medium build, and had a kind face.
As soon as he saw Yuan Zhou's appearance, he immediately came up to him quickly: "Hello, Chef Yuan, I am Xiao Ding whom I met before. You are so punctual."
Yuan Zhou had already mentioned the scheduled arrival time before, but now it was still two minutes away from the 9:40 that Yuan Zhou said.
"Is there any latest notice?" Yuan Zhou asked.
The main reason is that I am afraid that there will be changes and the menu will need to be adjusted, which is why I prepare two sets of menus.
"No, no new notifications have been received so far." Xiao Ding said.
"Master, I'll park the car first and I'll be back in a moment." Cheng Zhaomei had to drive the car to the parking lot and park it.
"President Cheng, don't worry. I'll call Xiao Gu to come over and take the president in later. Chef Yuan, let's go this way." Xiao Ding is also a good person, and the arrangements are very appropriate.
"Zhaomei, you go first, be careful." Yuanzhou warned Cheng Zhaomei and followed Xiao Ding's guidance.
After all, even if you are not in a hurry, you cannot waste your time.
Entered through the side door, walked down a long corridor, turned two more corners and finally arrived at the kitchen. There was no one here except for a middle-aged man about forty years old, who was the Xiao Gu whom Xiao Ding mentioned before.
"Hello, Chef Yuan." Xiao Gu greeted Yuan Zhou.
Yuan Zhou nodded and opened the door and entered the kitchen. Xiao Ding and Xiao Gu were guarding outside, and asked him to pick up President Cheng.
