Chapter 2156 Attention From Opponents
After seeing Zhou Shijie off, Yuan Zhou sat in deep thought: "Did I want to do something before?"
Feeling that he had forgotten something, Yuanzhou looked at his phone and remembered that he hadn't finished recording the video yet. He didn't know how many videos he would record throughout the year, including congratulatory videos, encouragement videos, cooking sharing videos, etc. So if you do this a lot, you will naturally gain experience.
After setting up the mobile phone with ease, Yuan Zhou began to prepare the tools and materials to be used. When everything was ready, he started directly.
Yuan Zhou was quite relaxed here, but in Lyon, France, there were people who seemed a little nervous because of Yuan Zhou.
"This is the video named Yuan that August and the others are interested in. Fortunately, I have many friends, so it was not easy to find it. Let's check the situation first." Stella sat in her room, holding her phone in her hand. Hold on tight.
He just received a video from a good friend, saying it was a video of Yuan's chef that he had been looking for for a long time.
Seeing that the load has exceeded 50%, Stella knew that he could take a closer look soon. Although he did not know that there is an old saying in China called "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles", but anyone with a normal mind knows that he should understand it before the game. Understand the opponent's situation in order to prepare a response strategy.
As the most popular candidate to win this year's Bocuse Culinary Competition, Stella certainly doesn't take ordinary opponents seriously.
But this chef named Yuan made Stellar very alert, mainly because he could see from some of August's conversations that August himself greatly admired this chef named Yuan, no! To be precise, it's called admiration.
Moreover, his teacher, French chef Fran Antoine, who is known as the magic hand, is also very cautious towards Yuan Zhou.
As someone who was able to make a name for himself in the crowded French cuisine world at the age of forty, Stella certainly had a lot of skills, but the judgment of the two top chefs made him decide to take a look at Yuan Zhou's situation first.
"Dong dong dong"
Just as the video was about to be downloaded, there was a knock on the door.
"It's so late, who is it?" Stella frowned. It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, so it stands to reason that no one would come looking for her.
There is another competition tomorrow, which is the final one to determine the finalists for the cooking competition. It is very important. Everyone hopes to have a good rest and be ready for tomorrow's competition.
Stella herself planned to take a rest after watching the video after practicing her cooking skills.
Although there was some hesitation, Stella walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's me, Chef Stella. Could you please open the door?" A polite voice came from outside the door.
Stella immediately recognized that the voice came from Chef Julian, his strongest rival at the moment.
Hearing the familiar voice, Stella secretly breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door of the room directly. The floor was covered with thick carpets. The door was not in direct contact with the ground, so even if the door was opened, there would be no noise.
Stella opened the door and saw Julian's familiar face. He was dressed as if he had just come back from outside. She couldn't figure out what he meant by coming to see him at this time. After all, it was all a matter of competition, and there was nothing private about it. So familiar.
"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?" Julian had a gentlemanly smile on his face, very comfortable.
"Come in, Chef Julian." Stella made an inviting gesture and welcomed the person in.
After sitting down on the sofa, Julian's excellent eyesight scanned the mobile phone casually placed on the coffee table. The picture on it was showing an oriental face.
Thinking of what he was going to say later, he glanced at it again curiously.
"Chef Stella is watching videos of Asian chefs?" Julian said casually.
"A Chinese chef who is highly praised by my teacher." It's not a secret, Stella said directly.
"Oh, it seems that I came to the right place this time." Julian said with a flash of eyes.
He knew the status of Stetler's teacher, Chef Anthony. As one of the ceilings in the French cuisine world, he was an absolute authoritative figure. Naturally, the people he recommended should not be underestimated.
"What do you mean, Chef Julian? What's the reason for coming here so late?" Stella asked directly.
He is impatient of beating around the bush, has a very down-to-earth temperament, and is also a person who has his own opinions. Unlike Julian, a chef who has worked his way up through hard work, Stellar is a family-educated type and is also a model of outstanding talent.
"Does Chef Stella know where Chef Dean and the others are now? Why don't they participate in this competition?" Julian didn't show off and started asking questions directly.
"It seems that you have opened a new store in China. Are you busy?" Stella asked, not too sure.
They are all in the same circle, and they are all chefs of about the same age and with similar achievements. However, this time it is a bit strange for Dean and a dozen of them to give up the competition at the same time, but Stella is not that boring to pay attention to others. It's a private matter, and I have no other thoughts except that I regret not being able to fight.
Therefore, he was not sure what Julian wanted to say when he took the initiative to mention them.
"I met Chef Gabriel when I went out to eat tonight, and I learned some reasons from him." Julian's expression was still a bit baffled when he said this.
It was just baffling that because of one chef, more than a dozen Michelin three-star chefs voluntarily gave up the competition and did not dare to compete with him. Julian felt that if he hadn't known Gabriel, he would have suspected that April Fools' Day had not yet passed, and someone was following him. He made a joke. The most important thing is that this joke has no technical content. This chef is also a Chinese, which is incredible!
"Chef Gabriel has returned to China? I didn't meet him." Stella was a little regretful that she didn't see anyone.
"Chef Stella, do you believe that Chef Gabriel and the others did not participate in this competition because of one chef?" Julian couldn't help but asked directly.
"What? This is impossible. What kind of chef can have such great energy? Could it be that Chef Manfred is participating in the competition himself?!" Stella's eyes widened in disbelief.
"I don't believe it either, but Chef Gabriel is very sure." Julian came to Stella because of the huge shock.
Probably because of the mentality that I can’t eat the melon alone, everyone should eat together and share the joys and sorrows.
After being stunned, Stella still felt unimaginable and shook her head not knowing what to say.
"Whose video are Chef Stella going to watch?" Julian saw Stella's stunned look and instantly felt more comfortable, so he changed the subject.
"It's a Chinese chef named Yuan who wants to get to know him. It seems that he will also participate in the competition this time and come directly to participate in the finals." Stella was still immersed in her own thoughts. When she heard Julian's question, she unconsciously said .
"Is it called Yuan Zhou? Chef Gabriel seems to have said the same name." Julian exclaimed in surprise.
Although he was not very familiar with Hua Xia's name, he was able to distinguish it after hearing it twice in a short period of time. Therefore, Julian felt that he should be talking about the same person, but he was still not sure. .
