Chapter 943 On the Benefits of Facial Paralysis

"Being young is a good thing. Youth represents vitality. Youth represents creativity. Chef Yuan, you are very good." Zhang Yan forced the conversation.

Facing the encouragement from the president of the Sichuan Cuisine Association, Yuan Zhou solemnly nodded and then greeted Li Yanyi.

"Your shop is getting more and more famous. It's really getting harder and harder to have a meal." Li Yanyi temporarily let go of Zhang Yan and said to Yuan Zhou: "I don't want you to expand the shop. The chef only has If you are alone, there is no point in expanding it.”

A small shop in Yuanzhou is called a Yuanzhou shop, so occasionally there are diners who ask Yuanzhou to expand a shop, but there are very few diners who ask Yuanzhou to open a branch.

“The annual selection of Sichuan cuisine demonstration restaurants can be said to be the biggest event in Sichuan cuisine.” Zhang Yan said: “So the relevant departments are very supportive, and many media and official media come, and even many CEOs of food groups are invited. .”

Not only was he talking, Zhang Yan also enthusiastically used his eyes to guide him and explained one by one. Just like when talking about the official media, Yuan Zhou followed Zhang Yan's gaze and saw the huge logo of "Sichuan Daily". Anyone can see it.

And there were cameras, so it seemed like the award ceremony was being broadcast.

Then Yuan Zhou, CEO of the food group, looked over and saw that they were all men in their thirties and forties, but he didn't recognize them.

"Those are not important. What's important is that the person who will present you with the banner is someone from the Provincial Party Committee. Chef Yuan shouldn't be nervous," Zhang Yan said.

"..." Yuan Zhou was silent for a long time, not sure whether he should say anything. He wasn't nervous at first, but when you said this, he became a little nervous.

After thinking for a long time, Yuanzhou decided not to say anything and could only nod cooperatively.

"Okay, Xiao Yuan still has to focus on cooking. For a chef, only craftsmanship is the most solid thing." Zhou Shijie said: "And this time the government seems to attach great importance to this activity."

"It's serious. Didn't you see that Chef Zhu is wearing a suit?" Li Yan pointed at a famous chef.

The reason why Chef Zhu is famous is not only his craftsmanship, but also his mysterious clothes. Yuan Zhou also knows this, but today it is very normal. Do you need to be so exaggerated?

In any gathering, people gather in groups of two or three, for example, entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs exchange business promotion matters, and hotel chefs and chefs exchange cooking skills.

Among them, Zhou Shijie, Zhang Yan and Li Yanyi were of course the ones who attracted the most attention at this meeting, and these three people surrounded Yuan Zhou.

Naturally, all the ten nominated chefs of the demonstration restaurant came. In comparison, even the chef of Rongcai was much older than Yuan Zhou.

Therefore, in this case, even if Chef God's store is this year's demonstration store, those veteran chefs will maintain their identity and not take the initiative to say hello.

But now, they can only come one by one, and Yuanzhou has become the core of the entire award ceremony.

"President Zhou, President Zhang and Master Li." Chef Tian, ​​who is located in Nanchong and is known as the No. 1 restaurant in Nanchong, has also been nominated three times, although he has never won an award.

To use an inappropriate word, Chef Tian is 50 years old this year. When he became famous in the chef world, Yuan Zhou had not yet been born.

"Chef Tian." Zhou Shijie nodded, and then said: "Just in time to introduce you, this is our Chinese genius chef Yuan Zhou."

"Yuanzhou's Kitchen God Shop is the winner of this demonstration shop." Zhang Yan also took over Zhou Shijie's words and said: "Xiao Yuan has solid basic skills and has a very masterful demeanor."

Chef Tian looked at Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie, and then said: "I have told you Master Yuan's name a long time ago, and I have always wanted to visit."

"He's just a chef, not a master. Moreover, Master Tian's hairy blood is very good. I've heard about it for a long time." Yuan Zhou said quickly.

"His Maoxuewang is really good. There is one ingredient in it that I can never taste." Li Yanyi suddenly said: "Xiao Yuan... Chef, your tongue is better than mine. If you have a chance, you can go Taste it.”

After finishing speaking, Li Yanyi, perhaps still worried that this matter would not be attractive to Yuan Zhou, added: "I also took Chu Xiao there, and he didn't taste it either."

Now Yuanzhou is really interested.

Li Yanyi is a well-known food critic at home and abroad. He can't taste it, and even Chu Xiao's gifted tongue can't taste it. So what kind of Maoxuewang is it?

"Haha, I can't afford it, I can't afford it." Chef Tian waved his hand, but Li Yan made him embarrassed with just one sentence.

"But he is not good at teaching his disciples. His three disciples have not received any true teachings, and the food they make tastes terrible." Li Yanyi is indeed venomous.

"Uh..." Chef Tian.

Yuanzhou sometimes really wonders how people like Wu Hai and Li Yanyi can survive to this day without being beaten to death.

"Master Tian hopes to have time to ask for advice." Yuan Zhou broke the embarrassment.

"Definitely." Chef Tian smiled a little awkwardly. To ease the embarrassment, he brought up a topic: "This year's demonstration store award ceremony will be much grander than before."

Closer to home, under the escort of the three great chefs, Zhou Chui, Zhang Chui and Li Chui, all the chefs who came to say hello saw how powerful Yuan Zhou was.

After about half an hour, the official awards ceremony began. First, Zhang Yan took the stage to open the ceremony, which meant talking about the history of Sichuan cuisine and the reasons for holding this demonstration store event.

Yuan Zhou was below, looking at this formal scene and feeling a little nervous. There were originally many reporters filming, and Yuan Zhou saw it as a great opportunity to shine, just like the previous Sino-Japanese exchange meeting.

But the tension is contagious, especially when you hear that not only the secretary-general is coming this time, but also other government officials, especially when the other chefs are on standby, but fortunately, Yuan, who is obsessed with saving face, is coming. Zhou can still hold on.

"The progress of Sichuan cuisine is inseparable from excellent chefs and excellent restaurants. For this year's Sichuan cuisine demonstration restaurant event, Mr. Li Wei will be invited to present awards to this year's demonstration restaurants." Zhang Yan came down and invited a man in his forties. middle-aged man.

Li Wei holds an important position in the government. When he comes to the stage, he is not called by his official name. He is called Mr., which is quite interesting.

"Sichuan cuisine, as a specialty of Sichuan Province, has always been a business card." Li Wei published a lot of data, looking very professional, and knew that Sichuan cuisine is not only famous in Sichuan Province, but also in several surrounding countries. Provinces and cities actually have considerable popularity.

Come to think of it, it is one of the eight major cuisines after all.

To sum up what Li Wei said, Sichuan cuisine is very important to Sichuan Province, and the demonstration stores and other nominated stores must expand their impression and make Sichuan cuisine more famous.

"The one that won the title of Demonstration Store this year is the Kitchen God Store. We invite Yuan Zhou, the chef of Yuanzhou Store, to give a speech on stage." Li Wei invited someone.

Li Wei's last words turned everyone's attention to Yuan Zhou, followed closely by many cameras and reporters.

The formation is very powerful and the atmosphere is very serious...
