Chapter 2117 Listed in the Association
Fujiwara, who was about to speak after sitting down, was attracted by the scent of tea. Although he was familiar with China, he couldn't buy many things. At most, he could only be entertained, like now.
"This is the best tea, Mingqian?" Fujiwara was a little unsure.
"It's the Mingqian tea that made Jiayuan laugh." Yuanzhou said seriously.
Fujiwara choked on his words and suddenly didn't know what to say. Looking at Yuan Zhou's serious expression, he suddenly remembered the scene when Yuan Zhou persistently asked how he felt after eating saury steamed rice when they first met.
Yes, you, the boss, have the final say.
After taking a sip of tea, the fresh tea aroma with a little bit of bitterness spread in my mouth, and there was a light floral aroma mixed in. It was fresh and fragrant. I felt a little full just now, but the aroma of tea disappeared.
"Good tea!" Fujiwara's eyes lit up and he praised.
"As long as Jiayuan likes it." Yuanzhou nodded.
Fujiwara Iemoto originally thought that he would take some back to drink if he liked it, but it was not until Fujiwara realized that such good tea cannot be forced.
"I came to see Chef Yuan this time mainly because I wanted to get Chef Yuan's approval for a small matter. This matter is also related to Oishi-kun." After drinking several sips of tea, Fujiwara slowly spoke.
Dashi who was standing was a little confused, because he had no idea what was happening and what was involved in him, and he suddenly felt very nervous.
"Please Jiayuan speak frankly." Yuanzhou said calmly.
"Previously Oishi-kun collected some of what Chef Yuan said into a book called "Quotations of the Grand Master". I wonder if Chef Yuan knows about it?" Fujiwara said.
After seeing Yuan Zhou nod, Fujiwara continued: "The quality of the book is very good. This year, the Japan Kitchen Association will make it a required reading subject for members. Every chef who joins the association must study it, and corresponding assessment qualifications will be formulated. I originally wanted to let Mr. Oishi tell me about this matter, but later I thought that it would be sincere to tell me personally."
Hearing that some of the words he said were actually used as part of the Japanese chef's assessment, Yuan Zhou straightened his back. His face was still calm and calm, and he slowly said: "It's all trivial. At that time, Dashi once took the manuscript Come and show it to me.”
Yuan Zhou was still very happy about this, which proved that his influence in Japan was growing day by day.
He is one step closer to promoting Chinese food to the world.
Hearing Yuan Zhou say this, Fujiwara also breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "Actually, there is one more thing, which can be regarded as an unkind invitation. I don't know if Chef Yuan can agree to it. For the first time, about "The Grand Master's Notes" During the written examination, does Chef Yuan have time to go to Tokyo and say a few words? It won’t waste much time.”
"After all, if those brats see real people, their attitude towards cooking will be better." Fujiwara finished speaking vigorously.
Fujiwara also sacrificed his face for the sake of the Japanese culinary industry. He knew that except for the conferences and activities he held, it would be very difficult to invite Yuan Zhou.
This matter is indeed clear that he wants to take advantage of Yuan Zhou, but there is no way. Looking across Asia, there is only such a Yuan Zhou in the cooking circle.
Fujiwara was very sober. He had already discussed it clearly with President Aso before coming to China. He would do his best to facilitate this matter and find a way to agree to whatever request Yuan Zhou made.
Dashi stood behind Yuan Zhou and opened his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth. It was difficult for him to speak about this matter.
Yuanzhou was stunned when he heard Fujiwara's words. He didn't expect that he would make such a request. Oishi Hidetoshi had already said before that "Quotations of the Grand Master" would be published into a series.
He has also read it, but there is not much substantive content, that is, his usual attitude towards cooking and some requirements. Many of them are just Oishi Xiujie's imagination. Yuan Zhou doesn't understand that this book can be turned into a series?
Now with Fujiwara's invitation, it is obvious that this book will be included in the Japan Culinary Arts Association, and then all members will study it. It is not a casual test, but it may be quite strict.
This is not something you can agree to casually. After all, if others do things so seriously, you shouldn't throw cold water on them if you don't agree with them.
Yuanzhou thought for a while and then replied: "Yes, but the time should be in the afternoon as much as possible."
In this case, the breakfast and lunch business hours will not be delayed. He only needs to take leave for dinner and the bistro, and Yuan Zhou can come back that night.
Even if there is a delay, it won't be much, so it should be easier for diners to accept it.
The reason why he agreed was on the one hand because of Dashi's face. Now that he was a registered disciple, he had to give him some face. On the other hand, he could go over and increase his authority.
Cooking knows no borders, so it would be good for Japanese chefs to admire Chinese cooking.
"Thank you Chef Yuan, the time must be arranged, and the air tickets and accommodation must be in line with Chef Yuan's wishes." Fujiwara was a little excited.
He didn't expect Yuan Zhou to agree so easily. Fujiwara was delighted, but also felt grateful and admired. He was indeed the best chef in Asia, he was different from other chefs.
Even Dashi Xiujie stood in front of Yuan Zhou with a moved expression and bowed deeply: "Thank you, Master, for your generosity."
"There's no need for a residence. I'll be back in the afternoon or that night, so I can't delay opening the store." Yuan Zhou said, "As for the air tickets, that would be troublesome."
"Chef Yuan's level of professionalism is also an example for us to learn from." Fujiwara said: "Chef Yuan, please rest assured that we will make arrangements for the air tickets."
Fujiwara then discussed the appearance fee with Yuan Zhou. Yuan Zhou would not refuse on this point. Since the other party was ready, he would accept it. It was also a good intention, and the appearance fee was finally determined to be 10 million yen.
That's it. Fujiwara was still a little embarrassed to thank him repeatedly, mainly because the surprise came so suddenly that people were caught off guard and couldn't react at all.
After seeing off the grateful Fujiwara and Oishi, Yuanzhou went upstairs to wash up and change clothes, and then planned to start practicing carving. He had been practicing knife skills in his free time in the past two days.
"The sun is shining in the sky, and the flowers are smiling at me..."
A familiar bell rang. Yuan Zhou picked it up and took a look. The two words "Chu Xiao" dancing on it were particularly conspicuous.
Speaking of which, in fact, Yuan Zhou's note to Chu Xiao before was not this, but the words "Little Genius on the Road". If he hadn't been almost seen during the Chinese New Year, Yuan Zhou would not have wanted to change his name.
"Chu Xiao, are you okay?" Yuan Zhou felt that it was night in France. If he called so late, was he passing by again?
"Yuanzhou, I have to go back to China this time for something, and I will come to test whether your cooking skills have deteriorated." Chu Xiao said.
To test his cooking skills, he told him if he wanted to come to eat. Yuanzhou pursed his lips and said, "Is there something wrong when you come back this time?"
"I need to participate in a show. I will make a new dish then, you can have a look." Chu Xiao said calmly.
"On the show?" Yuan Zhou inexplicably remembered what Dashi had said about being on the show before, and Dean seemed to have said he wanted to be on the show before.
Why do so many people want to appear on the show recently? Is there some good life that he doesn't know about?
