Not only did the Chinese chefs receive guidance from the top French chefs, but the France chefs who participated in the exchange also received a lot of guidance.
Those who were able to come to the exchange meeting with Zhou Shijie were not nobodies. Just like the top France chefs who didnât know how to cook Chinese cuisines, many of them didnât know how to cook French cuisines. However, there were indeed similarities in their culinary skills. Hence, many of the suggestions they gave were very practical.
âThe Sino-French food Exchange this time is more successful than I imagined.â
Actually, I think itâs good to hold such an exchange every year to promote the food culture of the two countries.â
Auguste was beaming with joy. It was no wonder that he was so pleased with himself. Back then, the exchange had been organized by him, Manfeld, and Gauss. Of course, they had no selfish motives.
He had originally intended to stimulate the French food industry with Yuan Zhouâs almost unrivaled culinary skills.
Now, not only had this goal been over-fulfilled, but the Chinese chefs who came to exchange with each other had also really benefited each other a lot.
âIn terms of cooking, every country has its own glory, and China is particularly brilliant.â Gauss said.
Zhou Shijie didnât say anything about that. In the past, no matter how brilliant he was, he still needed someone to bring him out. If it wasnât for Yuan Zhou, he didnât know how long it would take for such brilliance to bloom in the bogus world cooking competition in Europe.
âIt can be held in China next year. Itâs better to hold it in another place.â Zhou Shijie said.
With Yuan Zhou, Cheng zhaomei, and many other excellent chefs around, Zhou Shijie could even speak with his back straight. He was just full of confidence.
âThatâs good. Julian and the others are all looking forward to visiting Yuanâs shop.â Augustus said.
âIndeed, we can go out and see more.â Ju man Li agreed.
âWhat about the plan to go to North America in the second half of the year?â Auguste asked subconsciously.
âI donât agree. Thereâs nothing good to eat in North America. Itâs not worth going to North America. Thereâs still something good in South America.â Ju man Li answered without thinking.
The reason why South America was still a bit interesting was that Argentina in South America, and Juman li knew a famous Argentinian chef.
Augusteâs expression showed that he had expected this. It was still the same attitude. He would not show any tolerance unless he had blinded ju man and Li Shan.
âItâs fine to go to China a few more times. â Ju man Li added.
Manfeld, Gauss, and the others were naturally very willing to do so. They both felt that China was really a place with outstanding people. After all, there was an unparalleled Yuan Zhou and the culinary skills of the chefs who came for the exchange today were also quite good.
Even if he really wasnât used to some of them, it didnât prevent him from thinking that the taste was quite good. Furthermore, the variety of flavors and cuisines were very eye-opening.
Therefore, in the following time, the two sides discussed some of the details of the future Sino-French exchange meeting. Of course, while the big shots were discussing the problems, the chefs participating in the lower levels were not idle.
Everyone gathered in groups of twos and threes, communicating with each other using their fluent and awkward English. It was quite harmonious.
Time passed very quickly during the exchange. It was already evening when Yuan Zhou returned to the hotel with Cheng zhaomei.
âZhao Mei, are you done packing?â Yuan Zhou didnât bring many things with him. He had already packed up before he set off in the early morning.
Cheng zhaomei had cleaned up before, so she said in a relaxed manner,ââIâve already packed up, master. â
âHave you told your junior brothers and sisters to go back with Chairman Zhou? they donât have to rush back with us.â Yuan Zhou said.
Yuan Zhou intended to go back overnight. Maybe he could still open for business for dinner tomorrow. To be honest, he had been out for several days and quite missed the liveliness of Taoxi road.
âItâs already been discussed and arranged. â Cheng zhaomei nodded.
âThen letâs go.â While saying that, Yuan Zhou turned around and walked towards the door.
Cheng zhaomei was already holding the luggage in her hands. There was one on each side and an extra small bag. These were some spices given to Yuan Zhou by The French Chef. With one for each of them, it would be a big bag.
If it wasnât for the trouble of coming out of seclusion, everyone would probably have given even more.
He had already bought the plane tickets earlier. As he didnât know if he could make it back in time, Yuan Zhou reserved a free day for tomorrow.
As there were no direct flights, they had to transfer flights. It was hard to grasp the time. Even Yuan Zhou couldnât calculate how long it would take.
âXiaoya, Iâll go back first. Take care of your work and rest. Donât tire yourself out. Iâll make you a good meal when I come back.â Yuan Zhou sat on the plane and reported his schedule to Yin ya again before the plane took off.
[I got it, blockhead. Take care of yourself on the road. Go back and have a good rest before opening the shop. Donât worry, and pay more attention to your rest.] Although she knew that Yuan Zhou was a diligent and disciplined person, Yin ya still hoped that he could have more rest.
[Donât worry, Xiaoya.] Yuan Zhou was quite pleased with Yin yaâs concern.
Without waiting for the stewardess to remind him, Yuan Zhou hurriedly said goodbye to Yin ya and turned off the phone. The plane was about to take off.
âI wonder how many more days uncle Zhou and the others plan to stay?â Yuan Zhou muttered.
After the exchange dinner ended that day, Zhou Shijie told Yuan Zhou that the members of their exchange group wanted to stay and observe the food and beverage situation in France again in order to accumulate some information for the exchange meeting next year.
It must be known that August and the others had stayed in Chengdu for a long time to organize the first exchange meeting in order to observe the food and drink situation in China. Of course, not everything needed the president to attend in person. It was just a coincidence.
âRumble, rumble, rumble.â
The plane roared and the body of the plane trembled. After a while, it glided out. After gathering enough strength, it flew into the sky.
At this moment, the night sky in Leon was full of bright stars, and there were thousands of lights under the sky. Although they couldnât see clearly, they were in a good mood.
Yuan Zhou looked at the nightscape for a while and then let out a deep breath. He put on the eye mask and planned to take a rest. Now, he could finally relax. Even Yuan Zhou felt much more relaxed.
With Yuan Zhouâs capability, he really didnât need to be too nervous. However, he was representing a country after all. Now that everything had been settled, Yuan Zhou could naturally relax a little.
After the transfer flight, he was not far from China. When dawn replaced the darkness and the sun shone on the ground, Yuan Zhou finally got close to the sky of Chengdu. It was already 10:00 in the morning.
It was already an hour later when the plane landed. Yuan Zhou walked out of the exit with Cheng zhaomei.
âMaster, Sakura has arrived. We should be able to see her once we get out.â Cheng zhaomei glanced at the message Cheng Han had sent.
âWe can go back on our own. Why did we need Xiao Ying to make a trip back and forth?â Yuan Zhou said.
âThis is what we should do. Master, this way please.â Cheng zhaomei said.
Obviously, he didnât feel that there was anything wrong with picking up his master. As a grand-disciple, Cheng Cheng should run around more.
Yuan Zhou shook his head helplessly and then followed Cheng zhaomei.
âCongratulations to Grandmaster for winning the Golden Chef award and the most popular dish award. Congratulations!â Cheng Han was holding a large bouquet of red dahlias and looked very festive.
With a proud smile on his face, Cheng Han handed the flower to Yuan Zhou respectfully to express his congratulations.
Dahlias had the meaning of âgreat fortune and great congratulationsâ. Cheng Yu had also spent a lot of time and effort on choosing the flowers. As the first person to see Yuan Zhou return with an honor, he naturally had to set an example.
