When Qin Kelly reported the score, she was also a little surprised and subconsciously looked at Yuan Zhou. She had never thought of such a situation. After all, the three judges had given their own scores independently.

Dashi xiujie and Kosen, who had heard their own scores, looked at each other immediately. Their eyes were sharp and their faces were serious as if they were facing a great enemy.

However, the two contestants soon adjusted their mood and looked at Yuan Zhou. Only then did Zhang Yan and Fujiwara realize that they were not very sensitive to numbers due to their old age.

"Head chef Yuan, what do you think of this matter?" Zhang Yan tilted his head and asked Yuan Zhou.

"Yes, head chef Yuan. We have the same points. What should we do next?" Tengyuan Jiayuan also looked at Yuan Zhou and asked.

The chefs and reporters who came to visit also began to whisper among themselves.

"What a coincidence, they actually got the same points."

"I don't know if there will be another round of competition. I feel that the culinary skills of dashi xiujie and head chef Kosen are indeed comparable."

"I think dashi xiujie is better."

"No, no, no. I think that Kosen is obviously better. He's the first person to complete the meal, so he'll get additional points in this aspect."

Such a debate spread in a low voice in the field. There were people who supported dashi xiujie and Kosen. Obviously, everyone recognized their cooking skills. It could be said that the two were equally matched.

"Hua la," Yuan Zhou stood up. His clothes made a slight sound when they rubbed against the table and the chair.

However, it was this slight sound that made the somewhat noisy environment quiet down.

"Everyone," Yuan Zhou said with a clear voice.

On hearing Yuan Zhou's voice, everyone turned their eyes to Yuan Zhou and waited for him to continue.

"Today's game was very exciting, but it was indeed an unexpected coincidence that they had the same score. " Yuan Zhou paused for a while and then continued,"it seems that the judges have the same opinion."

After Yuan Zhou said that, there began to be some supporting voices in the restaurant. They were probably all saying that he was right and that dashi xiujie and Kosen's cooking skills were both excellent.

Yuan Zhou slightly pressed his hands and the restaurant became quiet again. Then, Yuan Zhou continued,""I know that everyone is very curious about what I will do next. Will we compete again, or will I directly decide the champion of this first exchange meet according to my preferences?"

"Therefore, I will immediately announce the first place of this exchange meeting. I hope everyone is satisfied with my judgment." Yuan Zhou slightly bowed to show his respect to the young chefs and the media.

As soon as he said that, all kinds of voices were heard. However, all the arguments stopped and were replaced by people expressing their support for Yuan Zhou.

"Head chef Yuan, we will listen to you. You have the final say."

"Just do as you like. We believe in you."

"President Yuan, we're all satisfied with what you've said."

And so on and so forth. What was influence? this was influence. There was no doubt in his words, and no one would suspect that there was an inside story.

Yuan Zhou listened to everyone's opinions quietly and then said again,""Alright, thank you, everyone."

"Then, as the head of the evaluation committee this time, I announce that the first place of the first young chef exchange meet is the two chefs, dashi xiujie and Kosen." Yuan Zhou looked straight at the two chefs with a serious expression and then announced loudly.

The two people who had been waiting for Yuan Zhou to announce the result nervously were a little dumbfounded and stunned after hearing the result.

The hall quieted down again. Soon, Zhang Ji and Fujiwara Jiayuan stood up and started clapping. Then, everyone else also started clapping to congratulate him.

"It seems that the first exchange of our young chefs has a good start. This is a double yolk egg. Congratulations to head chef Kosen and head chef dashi xiujie. Congratulations to both of you." Qin Kaili immediately chimed in with a smile.

"The reason why you two are first is that I think you two have given your all in this competition and displayed your highest level. Each of you has your own merits and are on par with each other. This can be seen from my score, so there is no need to compete again." Yuan Zhou continued.

"Let's see who's luckier the second time around. We'll have to see who can capture the judges 'hearts. Although luck is also a form of strength, there's no need for that in this situation." What Yuan Zhou said was quite reasonable.

For example, if they had the same cooking skills, Sichuan cuisine would definitely be better than Jiangsu cuisine to capture the hearts of Chengdu people.

"Indeed. This is an unexpected coincidence, but it's also proof of your strength." Zhang Ye nodded.

"Head chef Yuan's words are very reasonable. You have already displayed your highest culinary skills. Since both of you have the same score, this is the final result of the competition. There is no need to compete again." Tengyuan Jiayuan shouted.

Surprisingly, Zhang Yan and Fujiwara Jiayuan supported Yuan Zhou's judgment harmoniously.

"Thank you, head chef Yuan. Thank you, President Zhang. Thank you, Mr. Fujiwara. Thank you." Kosen bowed to the three judges and the people present to express his gratitude.

"Thank you, head chef Yuan. Thank you, President Zhang. Thank you, Mr. Fujiwara. Thank you, everyone." Dashi xiujie's words of thanks were similar to that of Kosen.

The two of them said their thanks and bowed at the same time.

"Okay. Now, let's invite Chairman Yuan Zhou to come on the stage to present the award and announce the reward to our two champions." Qin Kaili spoke at the right time.

"Let's invite head chef Kosen and head chef dashi xiujie to the stage to receive the award. " Qin Kaili smiled at the two of them.

"Alright," he said. Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then walked out of his seat sideways and directly walked to the stage.

The stage was naturally covered with a red carpet. With a straight posture, Yuan Zhou took the trophies from the tray of the hostess with both hands and quickly handed one to each of them.

"It's a good thing we prepared two trophies," Qin Kaili said."Otherwise, we'd only be owing one."

Qin Kaili's words caused everyone to laugh out of goodwill.

"Don't laugh, everyone. I'm serious. If I'm here, it's all President Yuan's credit. President Yuan always tells us to be well-prepared when we do things to deal with all kinds of problems. For example, the incident of losing the trophy happens from time to time at all major awards ceremonies." Qin Kelly complimented Yuan Zhou seriously.

"That's why we prepared these two trophies that don't seem to be useful at all." Qin Kaili said.

After saying that, the crowd started to praise Yuan Zhou's rigorous attitude. The more detailed the matter was, the more it could be reflected. In many cases, there were reasons why others could become Masters.

After the crowd quieted down and the two chefs received their trophies, Qin Kaili continued,""Next, I'll pass the microphone to our President Yuan."

"Thank you," he said. Yuan Zhou thanked him in a low voice and then took the microphone.

"The reward this time will be issued by the young chef's Association. Of course, it'll be double." Yuan Zhou said.

"As for the last reward, I've given it some serious thought and decided to arrange it this way." Yuan Zhou said.

The other rewards were mostly about material rewards and reputation. To be honest, the chefs who came to this exchange meeting and could make it to the top 10 didn't lack these. Their purpose was the last reward, Yuan Zhou's individual guidance.

Even if they had a great teacher, they wouldn't mind or even be very willing to be guided by a Grandmaster-level chef on their own shortcomings to improve.

Of course, other people definitely didn't have the appeal of Yuan Zhou, but this was Yuan Zhou.

Therefore, they didn't care about the other rewards. When Yuan Zhou mentioned the last reward, they all started to listen to him seriously.

Even dashi xiujie and Kosen had become nervous.

"I'm going to teach each of them separately a day. " Yuan Zhou said cleanly.

"Thank you, head chef Yuan." Ke Sen and dashi xiujie felt happy inwardly and immediately bowed to thank him.

"You're welcome. This is the rule of double reward. " Yuan Zhou said.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work, head chef Yuan." Ke Sen and dashi xiujie bowed and said again.

"We'll ask Secretary Qin of the green Chef society to inform you of the specific instruction time." Yuan Zhou didn't say "you're welcome "this time but said.

"Alright," he said. Dashi xiujie and Kosen nodded obediently again.

After that, Yuan Zhou returned the microphone to Qin Kaili and directly went off the stage.

At this moment, Kosen, who was standing on the stage, felt relieved. He thought to himself,""Finally, I don't need to eat a metal pot."

On the other side, dashi xiujie was much simpler. He clenched his fists and said,""Although I'm not the only first, I'm sure I'll be able to achieve better results next time if I can get the guidance of the Empire's Grandmaster. I'll definitely be the best in the next youth cooking exchange meet."

Dashi xiujie had obviously forgotten that he had participated in this competition because he was too old. He probably wouldn't have the chance to participate in the next one.

After giving out the award and announcing the reward, Yuan Zhou returned to his own seat and sat down earnestly, waiting for the end of the exchange meeting.

Of course, he also chatted with Fujiwara Jiayuan and Zhang Ye for a while.

Qin Kaili was hosting the last moment of the exchange meeting on the stage. After the announcement, Yuan Zhou, Zhang Yan and Fujiwara Jiayuan went on the stage again.

This time, they were here to take a group photo. This was also a custom. They definitely had to take a group photo at the end of the game.

When they were taking the group photos, Yuan Zhou was surrounded by the top ten chefs. Although it was full, there was actually an empty seat beside Yuan Zhou. Everyone was so full, but they didn't dare to squeeze into Yuan Zhou's seat.

As a matter of fact, the cheeky sucha even told Yuan Zhou that he would come again next time. Meanwhile, dubang and the other top 10 chefs also nodded their heads in agreement.

Yuan Zhou really wanted to say that they might all be over the age limit in the next batch, but as they were taking photos, Yuan Zhou held back the desire to say that and just nodded his head to indicate that he understood.

After the group photo was taken, the exchange meeting officially came to an end.

"President Zhang, Mr. Fujiwara, I'll take my leave first. See you." Once Yuan Zhou finished taking the group photos, he immediately said.

Without waiting for Zhang Yan and tengyuan Jiayuan to reply, Yuan Zhou left quickly.

One couldn't blame Yuan Zhou for running away quickly. It was just that those reporters had already surrounded him. Naturally, he had to leave quickly.

Zhang Ji and Fujiwara Jiayuan, who didn't have the time, were naturally surrounded.

"This kid really doesn't like interviews and fame at all. He's too low-key." Zhang Ye couldn't help but scold him with a smile.

"I think that's one of the reasons why head chef yuan can be so amazing at his age." On the other hand, Fujiwara Jiayuan had a different opinion.

"Yeah. Yuan Zhou has put all his energy into his cooking skills." Zhang Ye nodded.

"That's why we have to deal with this situation. " Zhang Ye gestured to the reporter in front of him.

"Haha, that's good, that's good." With that, tengyuan Jiayuan took the initiative to step forward and accept the interview from the reporters.

Zhang Ji nodded with a smile and took a step forward.

On the other side, Yuan Zhou directly went downstairs, got on the car and went back to his restaurant under the escort of the green Chef society's security guards.

Yuan Zhou really didn't want to stay for the interview. That was why he left so quickly.

After getting in the car, Yuan Zhou slightly closed his eyes and carefully recalled the culinary skills of Kosen and dashi xiujie. He was thinking about how to guide them when the time came.

Nowadays, Yuan Zhou had the habit of making a mental draft before making a plan and then carrying it out.

The driver was a member of the green Chef society. He had been told to drive slowly and steadily before. Therefore, Yuan Zhou was quite at ease on the way.

Not until the car stopped at the intersection of Taoxi road did Yuan Zhou open his eyes and said,""Thank you, master."

"Ah, Oh, you're welcome, President Yuan." The driver was stunned for a moment and immediately replied.

Then, Yuan Zhou opened the door and got off the car.

"I thought President Yuan was asleep. Who knew that he wasn 't? it seems like President Yuan is indeed very self-disciplined. He was probably thinking about cooking just now." The driver couldn't help but sigh.

After sighing for a while, the driver followed Qin Kaili's instructions and didn't turn around until he saw Yuan Zhou walking into Taoxi road.

It was already night time on Taoxi road. It was the time when the street was bustling with people. The street was brightly lit, and there were many people on the street.

During the process, some people recognized Yuan Zhou and greeted him, but there were also some people who didn't know him passing by.

Yuan Zhou chose to go back to his restaurant through the back alley. After all, the pub had already started its business at this time and there would definitely be more people at the front door.

With his excellent eyesight, Yuan Zhou saw a man wearing a casual shirt and suit pants standing at the back door of the restaurant.

Meanwhile, broth and rice were lying beside the man, as if they were accompanying him but also being vigilant.

"Chu Xiao," Yuan Zhou said.

"Yes, it's me. You're not open today." Chu Qi said.

"He went to attend an exchange." Yuan Zhou said.

"I know, I've heard about it. It seems like it's going well." Chu Qi said.

"Yes, it's going very smoothly. There will be another one, and the one after that." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"That's good. I hope it's more influential." Chu Xiao also nodded his head.

"I will," Yuan Zhou said affirmatively.

Chu Xiao was stunned for a while and then said with a smile,"With you around, they will."

This time, Yuan Zhou didn't answer him. He just nodded and then said,""What are you here for?"

"I'm looking for a venue for my personal exhibition. " Chu Xiao said directly.

"Did you find it?" Yuan Zhou said.

"I want to hold it at the place you held it last time." Chu Xiao said directly.

"Okay, I'll give you Wu Yungui's number." Yuan Zhou didn't ask much and just said directly.

"Thank you," he said. Chu Xiao nodded his head to express his thanks.

"You're welcome," Yuan Zhou took out his phone and directly found Wu Yungui's number and passed it to Chu Xiao.

After taking the phone, Chu Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at Yuan Zhou, saying,""Do you want to be a guest at my personal exhibition?"

"I don't think you will need it." Yuan Zhou shook his head and said.

"Yes, I really don't need it now." Chu Xiao smiled.

"Yes." Yuan Zhou nodded his head.

"It's done," Chu Xiao returned the phone to Yuan Zhou and then said goodbye,""I'll be leaving then. See you tomorrow. "

"See you tomorrow," Yuan Zhou took the phone and watched Chu Xiao leave cleanly.

"I hope more and more chefs will come back to China to hold their individual exhibitions." Looking at Chu Xiao's back, Yuan Zhou couldn't help muttering.

That's right. After Yuan Zhou became the chairman of the China branch of the famous chef Alliance, he somewhat understood the efforts Zhou Shijie had made to make Chinese dishes go abroad.

Therefore, Yuan Zhou's attitude towards Chu Xiao became gentler and gentler.

After Chu Xiao's back disappeared in the alley, Yuan Zhou opened the back door and walked back.

The first thing Yuan Zhou did when he returned to his room was to send a message to Yin ya to tell her that he was safe. It was their habit.

Just like how Yin ya informed Yuan Zhou as soon as she came back from a business trip.

After sending the message and waiting for Yin ya's reply, Yuan Zhou took his toiletries and went to wash up. After staying outside for a day, he had to take a bath first, whether he wanted to study cooking skills or do other things.

This was a habit of Yuan Zhou, who had an obsessive-compulsive disorder.
