Chapter 2183 Winery Boss
In the morning, the sun rose very early, but when the sky turned slightly white, the sun slowly climbed up from the horizon.
"It was a real dream." Yuan Zhou woke up. He didn't have many dreams, but each time they were very profound. For example, this time he dreamed that he had a "hundred banquet" at his wedding with Xiaoya, which was a banquet. One hundred tables, and one hundred tables are all different.
"Speaking of it, this method seems good." Yuan Zhou pondered for a while, thinking about the possibilities.
While thinking about it, I started to do my morning exercise. When I ran, I felt the hot weather.
"It seems summer is really here." Yuan Zhou said.
After eating the noodles as usual, breakfast time started as scheduled. From breakfast to lunch time, Yuan Zhou was always orderly, busy and not chaotic.
When lunch time was over, Yuan Zhou immediately washed up and changed his clothes without stopping, and planned to go out.
Due to the objective factors of the weather, Yuan Zhou wore a very distinctive silver Hanfu with blue trim. The whole body was silver, with darkly floating auspicious cloud graphics and text, and sea blue trim.
It makes people feel cool just looking at it, and more importantly, it is also refreshing when worn in silk.
This outfit was a birthday gift from Yin Ya this year. It is suitable for such an important occasion today.
Zhou Shijie had said before that he would send someone to pick him up. Sure enough, after Yuan Zhou got a ten-pound jar out of the backyard, he received a call. Zhong Lili was also there. This was the usual practice.
If he couldn't leave, Zhou Shijie would have wanted to pick it up himself, so that he could see the legendary monkey wine for the first time without scratching his head.
Zhou Shijie is a top chef. Although he is not a brewing master, some dishes still require the use of wine, so he has dabbled in it. What's more, this is a legendary wine, so he must be very interested.
Today, the winery master is not talking about the gin, vodka and others in black clothes, but the brewing master, or the chief technology officer of Wuliangye Company. Although these people are related to cooking, they are basically two circles.
A lot of them came, half because of Yuan Zhou’s reputation, and half because of Hou’er Wine’s reputation.
Yuan Zhou's arm strength and waist are now fine, and he can easily carry the ten-pound jar away.
After saying hello to Zhong Lili, she got in the car and was ready to set off.
Since it is an event organized by the Kitchen Federation, the final venue is naturally held in the Kitchen Federation building. For the wine tasting conference, Zhou Shijie specially used two connected halls. Those with stoves on one side can hold the Ten Beauty Competition. , there is no venue for the finished wine conference on the other side, so it is very convenient to kill two birds with one stone.
The road was not far and we reached the place soon.
Zhou Shijie said that he invited Yuan Zhou to come and present the awards as a guest, so it was true. After Yuan Zhou arrived, he rested for a while and was led by Zhong Lili to sit on the podium. At this time, the Ten Beauty Competition had just come to an end.
The hall was large, but there were so many guests that it didn't feel empty at all.
For this Top Ten Competition, Zhou Shijie worked very hard and wanted to achieve a publicity effect. Therefore, one chef per dish, and Top Ten means ten dishes and ten chefs. However, it cannot stand the diversity of Chinese cuisines. Many chefs stand together, which is simply a natural phenomenon. View.
Yuan Zhou's role this time was to write a speech. After the speech, he would award awards to the representatives.
Yuan Zhou had written the manuscript himself a few days ago. The more he wrote this type of manuscript, the more practice would make him perfect. He could finish it with just a few strokes of three, five, and two. After sending it to Zhou Shijie, he saw that there were no corrections, so he I memorized it, and this time I left it unscripted.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah"
The excitement of Yuan Zhou's speech and seeing his idol live made many chefs' palms ache.
"I believe that the chefs who come to participate in the Top Ten Competition are the mainstays of the domestic culinary circle. Come on, China's food culture is vast, and we can always create and promote it."
If other people spoke like this, it would feel like empty talk, but it was different when the speaker was the current and officially recognized chef king.
Even being said to be a mainstay in the culinary circle by Yuan Zhou makes him a little proud.
Zhou Shijie's process was very good. It only took half an hour to complete the speech and award the awards, and then took ten minutes to wrap up. The time there was almost three o'clock.
Three o'clock is when the wine tasting conference officially begins. The master of ceremonies for today's conference is Zhou Shijie himself, so he specially wore a new Tang suit today and looked very energetic.
After seeing off the celebrity chef who was in a hurry, Yuan Zhou was led by Zhou Shijie to the adjacent hall through the connecting door in the middle.
The masters of the winery are all relatively older, and Yuan Zhou knows a few of them. For example, Mr. Ma's old friend, the brewing master Mao Ming, is indeed a big shot.
"President Zhou is really good at inviting people. These people have tasted monkey wine and are famous throughout the country." Yuanzhou thought silently.
At this time, the hall was almost decorated, and a simple and crude banner was hung over the podium - [Monkey Wine Tasting Conference], the meaning is so simple and clear.
Then there were specially placed long tables, one on each side, covered with a light blue tablecloth, and plates of simple snacks, all snacks for drinking, which Yuanzhou had prepared before. Yes, it was in the morning that Zhong Lili went to the God of Cooking store to get it.
In Yuan Zhou's words, "It doesn't matter if there is good wine but not good food, snacks must be prepared."
There are not many snacks. Today’s highlight is Monkey Wine. There are eight plates of snacks on one table.
The other tables and benches have been removed, and the floor is covered with a thick red carpet. Although there are no balloons hanging around, it is tidied up. It seems very simple, but it still takes a lot of thought.
"Xiao Yuan, it will start in a moment. Have you brought your wine?" Zhou Shijie asked.
"There, it's ready. I've asked Secretary Zhong to prepare the wine glass." Yuan Zhou pointed at the large wine jar that seemed to have no presence in the corner.
Secretary Zhong had already placed wine glasses on the long table. Zhou Shijie glanced at them and saw that they seemed to be green wine glasses. They looked rather large, probably about two taels.
"Xiao Yuan, you are too generous. In fact, a cup of one tael is very good." Zhou Shijie felt his body hurt.
Although the wine does not belong to him, it does belong to Yuan Zhou. When it comes to wine tasting, one tael is just right, but two taels is definitely too much.
"I'm telling you, President Zhou, if he doesn't do business every day, he just knows how to be a bitch and a bitch."
Wearing a black Tang suit, a tall and strong old man came over. He should be about the same age as Zhou Shijie, but he was in good spirits and his face was rosy. It was obvious from a glance that he was in good health.
Probably because he was very dissatisfied after hearing what Zhou Shijie just said, he raised the corner of his mouth and looked a little serious, "Chef Yuan's temperament is beyond your comparison. You can use a tael of wine to wash the cat's face."
After saying that, he glanced sideways at Zhou Shijie, turned around and showed a kind smile and said to Yuan Zhou: "Chef Yuan has been admired for a long time, I have been admired for a long time. I am Zhu Dakang, the chief brewer of Jiannanchun General Factory." After saying this, he extended his hand enthusiastically and wanted to Shake hands with Yuan Zhou.
The chief brewer is actually the technical director, the person who controls all winery proportions and research and development. However, many people of the older generation don't like the title of director, so they call themselves chief brewer.
Yuan Zhou looked at it and immediately stretched out his hand to shake it before saying, "Mr. Zhu is too polite, just call me Xiao Yuan."
