Chapter 2146 Thank You Very Much, but Refuse

Dominic had originally planned before coming, and wanted to talk to Yuan Zhou about holding a star awarding ceremony as big as possible. Of course, this would definitely require some cooperation, such as closing the business for a day, but Yuan Zhou's refusal Leave him alone.

This is a completely unexpected result.

The calm Dominic didn't look good, not to mention the younger Sylvie, who was still observing the teacup and immediately turned his attention to Yuan Zhou.

"Chef Yuan, did you just refuse to give a star rating?"

It's not that he can't refuse, it's just that Sylvie found it unbelievable. After all, it was the supervisor from all of Asia who came to talk in person. This was a big enough honor. There was no bigger situation than this in the whole of Asia, not to mention the whole world. .

"Thank you very much, Director Dominic, for coming. I am very touched, but I still refuse because Chinese cuisine does not need a Michelin rating." Yuan Zhou said calmly.

In fact, even after Yuan Zhou learned about French cuisine, he would reject Michelin's evaluation. The reason is very simple. Yuan Zhou believes that the core of a chef's evaluation is the diners.

Sylvie is sluggish, everything is sure, why can't it work now? He didn't quite understand, so he subconsciously looked at his uncle.

After all, Dominic ate ​​a lot more salt than Sylvie. His expression changed at that time, but now he has regained his composure. He looked at Yuan Zhou’s determined look, thought for a while and continued: “Chef Yuan, we are very If you are sincere, this matter is also beneficial to both parties, and you can spend more time. Look at this, you can think about it carefully, and we will talk about it at this time tomorrow, what do you think?"

He planned to have a meal at a small shop tonight to see if he could find any breakthrough and successfully get Yuan Zhou to agree to the star rating.

Yuanzhou originally planned to refuse outright, but Dominic is not young anymore, and he cannot just drive him away even if he comes here for a special trip. The respect of the Chinese people must be mutual.

After thinking about it, Yuan Zhou said: "No problem, Mr. Dominic is welcome to have tea at this time tomorrow."

"Thank you, Chef Yuan." Dominic was a sensible person and quickly stood up to leave.

He moved so quickly that he didn't even have time to drink the tea that just felt so fragrant. He couldn't help but was really not in the mood, and it was Dominic who got off to a bad start.

"Uncle, what's going on? Do you really want to come tomorrow?" Sylvie was young after all. Seeing Yuan Zhou not giving face to her uncle, she felt a little embarrassed.

It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered something like this. If a restaurant learns that Michelin scorers are going to evaluate it, it won’t be happy. Those who reject it are simply not talking about status and other things, just personal value.

If you are a chef at a Michelin three-star restaurant and you resign and work as an executive chef at another restaurant, your salary will double.

It was obviously an opportunity to gild oneself, so why was it rejected? Chu Xiao also received Michelin's rating.

"Of course, this is our job, isn't it?" Dominic didn't have any unnecessary reaction.

"It's our job, but I think Chef Yuan seems to be resolute and difficult to handle." Sylvie thought about it for a while.

"Let's have dinner here tonight and see what happens." Dominic said directly.

Sylvie thought that her uncle's method was not bad. Try the food in the shop first and maybe everyone would have a common language.

Dominic has turned from a TV food critic to an Asia manager. He used to be known as the "golden tongue", so he might just make some suggestions and then agree.

Sylvie is very confident in her uncle's strength.

"Then should we go back to the hotel now, or what should we do?" Sylvie asked.

They came to China this time to rate the God of Cooking shop, so basically everything revolved around this theme.

"I have read some information and the business of the store is very good. We didn't make an appointment just now. Just in case, we can only wait here." Dominic said.

He didn't know that the God of Cooking store didn't have an appointment service at all. When Dominic was collecting information, he focused more on Yuan Zhou's personal achievements. He didn't know much about the store's strategy. He originally planned to learn about it on the spot when he came for the evaluation. There will be a solidified image that will help with star rating.

Dominic's idea is completely correct, but it does not apply to the God of Cooking store. Fortunately, he knows that the store has a lot of customers and needs to line up in advance. Otherwise, whether he can have dinner today is definitely a matter of two opinions. .

"Okay." Sylvie nodded.

The two of them didn't have to wait long. After all, it was almost four o'clock when they arrived. But while walking on Taoxi Road, the attentive Dominic saw people starting to gather in front of the God of Cooking shop.

There should be a queue, and it was not far away. I took Sylvie and rushed over in a few steps. At this time, there were seven or eight people at the door of the store.

They were both Chinese and didn't speak the same language. Dominic and Sylvie both lined up quietly at the back.

The leader of the queuing committee on duty today is Manman. She came very early. When she saw that there was a stranger in the queue and he was a foreigner, she immediately stepped forward to communicate.

The reason why Manman did this was that when a foreigner came to eat, he didn't know that he had to bring his passport to swipe his card to get his number. He waited in line for an hour and then didn't get anything to eat. His heartache was beyond words.

Therefore, after this experience, the members of the queuing committee specially came up with a charter. When they see something unfamiliar, they will usually go up and ask if they have their ID card or passport, and what they need for meals.

Not to mention that this action is still very effective. At least it has stopped several foreign tourists who came without passports. It is not that they don’t know that passports are needed here, but they forget to bring them when they go out. This can definitely be called A bloody lesson.

"Hello, welcome to Chengdu. You need to bring your passport to dine at the God of Cooking restaurant. Have you brought it with you?" Manman stepped forward with a smile and asked politely in English.

The standard accent has a little soft tone, which makes people feel very comfortable.

"Do you need a passport to eat?" Dominic was a little dumbfounded. This was something he had never encountered before. He had only heard of people requiring a passport when buying things abroad. This was the first time he had encountered someone who needed a passport to eat.

"I brought it, thank you." Sylvie answered.

As a qualified assistant chief, why can he climb faster than others? Having a backstage is one thing, and his own ability is also a very important link. Otherwise, it is possible that the mud will not hold up the wall.

"We will pick up the number in advance in a moment. Just swipe your passport against the machine over there. I wish you a happy meal in the store." Manman pointed to the silver and shining number picking machine over there.

"Thank you." Sylvie thanked her seriously.
