chapter-1628

Yuan Zhou and Wang Jike were having a very friendly conversation. They were talking and laughing.

Wang Qiang, who was next to him, could only stand in place like a wooden pillar. This was a matter of the high-end cooking circle. Wang Qiang, who was a low-end person, had no way to interrupt.

"It's good to be able to give head chef Yuan some inspiration." Wang Jike said.

"If head chef Wang is free, we can have some in-depth exchanges on Jiangsu cuisine," said Yuan Zhou.

"I was thinking the same thing." "I don't have anything to do recently," Wang Jike said gently."I'll be able to accommodate head chef Yuan's schedule. Of course, it's best not to affect head chef Yuan's business hours."

"Head chef Wang, you just arrived in Chengdu today?" Yuan Zhou calmed himself down and asked.

"Yes. I should have told you about the visit in advance, head chef Yuan, but I was in a hurry this time." Wang Jike sounded apologetic.

"It's fine, it's fine," Yuan Zhou said,"what I mean is that since head chef Wang has arrived today, you must be tired from the long journey. Let's have a good rest for the next two days. We will have an exchange the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"

"It's very good," "Then I won't disturb you any further, head chef Yuan," said Wang Jike.

"I look forward to the exchange with head chef Wang the day after tomorrow." Yuan Zhou said.

"I'm also looking forward to it. " Wang Jike nodded.

Wang Jike left with Wang Qiang. Yuan Zhou watched the two of them leave. He didn't turn around and enter the restaurant until they were out of his sight.

"It seems that the rumors are wrong after all. Previously, it was said that 'su province's five tigers, the Wang family has martial arts'. It means that head chef Wang Jike's cooking skills are very good, but his temper is also bad, and he is a little unreasonable." Yuan Zhou muttered to himself,"after today's exchange, I found that he is quite gentle and reasonable."

Shaking his head, Yuan Zhou felt the rumors were too much. A nice and kind elder had turned into a devil-like person.

On the other hand, Wang Qiang followed behind Wang Jike, not daring to say a word.

In the past, Wang Jike had been very gentle. Even in Wang Qiang's more than 30 years as a son, he had never seen his father so open to discussion and so gentle.

However, as soon as he reached the end of the street, Wang Jike's expression turned serious again, and he looked like he did not want strangers to get close to him.

"Well, dad ... Can you tell me what the difference is between you and head chef Yuan?" Wang Qiang asked carefully.

"What's the use of knowing? You won't be able to learn it even if you know. " Wang Jike glanced at Wang Qiang and his tone was full of disdain.

"If I can't learn it, I can work hard, I ..." Wang Qiang was interrupted by Wang Jike before he could finish his sentence."Study hard? Work hard to write five pages of a cooking summary in two weeks?"

"That ..." Wang Qiang couldn't understand what he was saying.

"Don't say that. Straighten your tongue first before you speak. If you can't straighten your tongue, then don't speak." Wang Jike's pace was very fast, and Wang Qiang could only jog to catch up.

Did you see that? this was his father's normal attitude! Wang Qiang felt that he was a fake son. Compared to the gentleness when he spoke to boss Yuan, the difference was too great.

Wang Qiang followed Wang Jike back to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel, Wang Jike read the newspaper for a while and went to bed at 10:30. His work and rest time had always been very regular.

On the contrary, Wang Qiang, Huang Fei, Liu Li, and Hao Cheng gathered together to complain. After all, they were all children who had been oppressed by Wang Jike.

However, they also reflected on their poor learning attitude. The four of them were full of vigor and said that they would take more than ten pages of notes tomorrow.

"Brother Qiang, I remember you saying that chef Wang Jike will be having an exchange with head chef Yuan the day after tomorrow?" Hao Cheng suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this question, Liu Li and Huang Fei's eyes immediately lit up, and they looked at Wang Qiang with bright eyes.

"That's right, there is such a thing. " Wang Qiang nodded.

"Then can we go and listen?" This was what Hao Cheng wanted to say.

"I should be able to." Wang Qiang answered with uncertainty, then said, "I'll ask my dad tomorrow. "

"I'll leave it to you, brother Qiang","I've watched the video of head chef Yuan's previous exchange with the other Masters over and over again","it's really rare to watch the exchange between two masters on the spot".

After that, they said Goodnight to each other and went back to their own rooms to rest.

The 'good night' in modern society didn't mean to go to sleep. It meant that he wanted to play alone and didn't want to chat.

It was as if Wang Qiang had returned to his room at 12 o' clock after saying goodnight, but he still took half an hour to fall asleep in bed.

In a world where there were so many kinds of entertainment activities, there was a kind of person who was particularly good at "sleeping and getting up immediately." Coincidentally, Yuan Zhou and Wang Jike were both such people.

Looking back at Yuan Zhou, Yuan Zhou also went back to his restaurant. It wasn't raining tonight, so the restaurant was open for business.

"We won't disturb boss Yuan, will we? I have something to ask boss Yuan. " Fang Heng, the demoness of the heavenly demon sect, had arrived.

"What is it?" Yuan Zhou raised his head and asked.

"Boss Yuan, when will you serve the new liquor? although the draft beer, bamboo liquor and red wine are all very good, the pub obviously can't keep up with the speed of serving the new dishes."

Fang Heng came to ask on behalf of all the drunkards, oh no, all the drinkers.

"Boss Yuan, you can't favor one over the other!"

"Yes, I'll try to speed up the production of new wine." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

Thinking about it carefully, the speed of the wine seemed to be a little slow.

"OK, OK. With boss Yuan's words, I can rest assured. I'll go back first." Fang Heng was satisfied.

"Eh? You're not drinking today?" Yuan Zhou didn't react until he said that,""Oh, I forgot that you didn't get it today. Be careful on your way back."

"Oh ..." Fang Heng's happy mood disappeared at once.

Although the small Tavern was for drawing numbers, in fact, ordinary tourists would rarely come from other places to specifically draw wine.

Of course, those who liked to drink two glasses were the exceptions. Therefore, the customers of the small Tavern were still fixed.

But recently! For some reason, all the drinking spots were taken by the guests from Lu province.

Zheng Xian, Fang Heng, and the other regular customers, none of them were chosen.

"I've also been drinking for a long time. It's fine if I don't drink for a few meals!" Fang Heng consoled himself in this way.

"And the weather is bad tonight. This wine will definitely not be as good as usual." Fang Heng was a typical sour grape.

Actually, after thinking about it carefully, it was quite good to say that grapes were sour when they couldn't eat them. At least, he would feel better.

Was it possible that she would think that the grapes were delicious and sweet even if she couldn't eat them? wouldn't that be even more unbearable?

Anyway, Fang Heng, who was thinking of sour grapes, felt much more comfortable. He walked home slowly and met Zheng Xian on the way home.

"Sister Xian," Fang Heng asked,"why are you still out on the streets? haven't you gone back yet?"

"I haven't had a drink in two days. I kind of miss it." "That's why I wanted to find a place to drink," Zheng Xian said."But I've found two restaurants, and the wine doesn't suit my taste."

"I want to drink it too. Do you want to go to my family's wine shop? the newly brewed bamboo liquor is not bad." Fang Heng said.

"Then, lead the way." Zheng Xian said with a smile.

The two of them arrived at the wine shop about five kilometers away from Yuan Zhou's restaurant.

Once the Fang family's bamboo liquor was introduced to the market, it was extremely popular in the middle and high-end markets.

Fang Heng's family had seven or eight wine shops in Chengdu and five in other provinces. The reason why there were so many wine shops in Chengdu was that his family's Foundation was in Chengdu. Also, as Fang Heng's father had said, don't just focus on occupying the market. You have to take one step at a time.

At this time, the restaurant was closed, but as the young master, Fang Heng must have the key.

Fang Heng opened the door of the shop with a sound of "Hua la."

"Our main store was originally in the Qingyang District, but we only decided to make this our main store last year." Fang Heng turned on the lights in the shop while explaining.

Zheng Xian listened to him carefully without interrupting.

After the lights were turned on, the interior decoration could be seen clearly.

As the main store, the wine shop was quite large and the overall decoration was transparent. There were decorative shelves on the left and right walls, on which exquisite and small wine bottles of various shapes were placed.

Further inside, there were tables and chairs in the shape of green bamboo, which was where Fang Heng led Zheng Xian.

"Sister Xian, sit down. I'll go get some wine." Fang Heng said.

"Alright," he said. Zheng Xian nodded.

Fang Heng took out two bottles of the Fang family's bamboo liquor from the warehouse. Both the bottle and the box were exquisitely packaged.

Speaking of which, after giving that bottle of wine to Mr. Wei last time, the next day, Fang Heng took a packaged bottle and sent it to Mr. Wei.

Then, Fang Heng brought two three-coin cups and a few dishes to go with the wine.

One coin was equivalent to five grams. The three coin cup was the smallest glass, and it was only 15 grams full.

"Come, sister Xian, let's drink." Fang Heng sat opposite Zheng Xian.

The two of them slowly drank one cup after another.

"Fang Heng, I think you should stop selling wine in the future. You can really sell dishes with wine." Zheng Xian picked up a piece of cucumber with her chopsticks. The cucumber was crisp and delicious, and it was very comfortable to eat it with three cups of wine.

"That's what I'm thinking too. If the business of the pub is not good in the future, I'll go to boss Yuan's pub at night to sell the liquor and dishes. " Fang Heng said.

"Sure, sure." Zheng Xian was a little strange when it came to drinking. She didn't like to clink glasses with others, but preferred to drink glass by herself.

"Sister Xian thinks you have something on your mind. Do you want to say it? it'll be better." Fang Heng said.

"No, no, it's not good to say it out loud. It's better to keep it in your heart." Zheng Xian drank a glass of wine and said,"And the more you drink, the more you'll feel happy."

He didn't play by the rules. He usually said,"I have wine, Do you have a story?" But now there was wine, but people with stories were not willing to tell stories.

In fact, Zheng Xian rarely came to the restaurant for proper meals. Most of the time, she came for drinks at night. Overall, Zheng Xian was not as domineering and casual as Queen Jiang, nor as gentle and understanding as sister Wan. Zheng Xian was more introverted and felt like a woman with many stories.

"If we're friends, then let's drink until we're drunk." Zheng Xian said.

In fact, Zheng Xian did not like to drink, but she could not sleep without drinking.

"Okay," Fang Heng replied."No one is allowed to leave standing today."

"You're a good friend. Then tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, I'll treat you to boss Yuan's pub. " Zheng Xian said.

"Hahaha, then I won't stand on ceremony." Fang Heng said.

As a matter of fact, Fang Heng and Zheng Xian still didn't know that the pub was about to receive the most tragic impact. Because of a certain person, the group of waiters in Lu province clearly knew that they could actually drink fine wine in Yuan Zhou's restaurant at night.

A large number of Lu province's wine lovers changed their plans. Those who had plans to come to Chengdu for a tour before had moved their plans forward; Those who didn't plan to come to Chengdu for a vacation immediately made plans.

Just like tonight.

"It's good. The recommendations on the internet are true. This wine is good."

"Master chef Restaurant."

"Yes, I do. Master chef restaurant's food is the best in the country, but I didn't expect the wine to be so delicious."

"Just now, I saw that the plane ticket from Lu province to Rong city was a few hundred Yuan more expensive. Hahahaha, the plane ticket was overpriced by us."

A few burly men from Lu province discussed animatedly. In fact, the burly men were not familiar with each other, but it was easy for men to build friendships at the wine table.

Shen Min was in charge of the pub. As the first customers of the pub, the several big men from Lu province had a lot of questions.

However, Shen Min was already very mature now. She could solve all these problems by herself without alarming Yuan Zhou.

It saved Yuan Zhou a lot of trouble and time.

Speaking of which, at the beginning of the year, Yuan Zhou had increased the basic salary of Shen Min and Zhou Jia from 100 yuan a day to 125 Yuan a day. Of which, 5 yuan was the salary for those who had worked for a long time. In fact, it was an increase of 20 yuan.

Speaking of which, the treatment of Zhou Jia and Shen Min was very good. If it were any other restaurant's waitresses, they wouldn't be able to have such good treatment and be so relaxed and free.

On Zhou Jia's and Shen Min's birthdays, Yuan Zhou would bake a birthday cake for them and treat them to a meal.

Of course, no restaurant could make as much money as Yuan Zhou's restaurant. This saying wasn't targeted at a particular restaurant, but rather all the restaurants in the world were the younger brothers in making money.

With such a worry-free waiter, Yuan Zhou could have more time to study the ancient books and recipes. In fact, no matter what kind of method he used, he was always very happy to improve his cooking skills.

"Guanggong's travels. After reading it, my biggest thought is that Guangli is really rich. He has actually traveled almost half of China." The small notebook beside Yuan Zhou's hand had been filled with notes.

In the past few weeks, Yuan Zhou had been reading ancient books and recipes and had recorded all his gains. He had already filled up four or five notebooks.

At first glance, the book "guanggong's travels "could be easily mistaken as a changgong's travels ... Well, the meaning was very different.

Although the cooking methods were not written in the book, the taste was written in detail, which could help Yuan Zhou understand the cuisines of that era.

The next day.

Today was a good day, everything he wanted could come true, and tomorrow was another good day ...

Cough, cough, I got it wrong. Never.

It was a good day for Wang Hong because it was the release conference for the new book of evil extermination 2.

Due to the successful creation of the character Fang Heng, the witch of the heavenly demon sect, in evil extermination 1, this book was called "a shot of cardiac stimulant for modern wuxia." Naturally, the publishing house quickly arranged for the second volume.

Wang Hong chose the location of the press conference of the new book to be in Wang Li's Western restaurant. Not to mention other things, if the conference was held in boss Yuan's restaurant, it would affect the line in Yuan Zhou's restaurant if too many people came.

On the other side, Wang Li wasn't afraid of being affected. To him, this was a form of publicity.

Before the event began, Wang Hong looked at the rather big venue with satisfaction.

"Teacher Wang, the media will be interviewing you for two questions. Let's first match the questions." A staff member came over and said.

"Alright," he said. Wang Hong said.

Then, they happily answered the questions. On the other side, a staff member reminded Wang Hong that someone was looking for him.

"I know, I'll be right there." Wang Hong replied loudly.

Wang Hong rushed to the staff member and said,""Sorry to trouble you, I still have something to do, so I'll head over first."

Then, he jogged over.

"This author is quite polite at such a young age." The staff member said.

He was a staff member of the publishing house and had arranged many press conferences like this, but it was rare to see such a young and polite best-selling author.

If it was the Wang Hong who had never been to Yuan Zhou's restaurant before, he would have probably been floating in the sky with such a result. But the reality ...

You became famous at a young age, so how young and famous can you be?

Could he be better than Yuan Zhou?

Yuan Zhou had never been so arrogant. Moreover, there was also Wu Hai, the "hope of the European painting circle". Except for eating, he was always easy-going and didn't have any arrogance.

Therefore, after staying in Yuan Zhou's restaurant for a long time, Wang Hong really didn't think it was a big deal for him to have such a small achievement.

Most importantly, Wang Hong even felt that he might not be as good as that disobedient kid in Yuan Zhou's restaurant.
