Chapter 1309: Lu cuisine master

After checking the mission progress contentedly, Yuan Zhou directly opened the door and entered the restaurant. Then, he went upstairs to wash up.
Having changed his clothes, Yuan Zhou went downstairs again and started to prepare the ingredients for dinner.
Today’s dinner was a little different from usual. That was because Yuan Zhou had updated two new Guizhou dishes after communicating with Collin.
It was natural to gain something from communicating with Masters of the same level. Even Colin himself had changed some of the cooking methods of Guizhou cuisine in the next two days.
After the communication with Colin, it had been one week since Yin ya’s birthday. Even the vegetarian banquet on the 20th was coming up. Therefore, Yuan Zhou couldn’t bear it anymore.
It was because Yin ya didn’t come to the restaurant to eat during this period.
In the past, Yin ya wouldn’t come to the restaurant for a long time. But this time, the situation was a little different. Therefore, Yuan Zhou would immediately look at the people waiting in line outside the door during every business time.
However, she didn’t come for a whole week. Yuan Zhou couldn’t help feeling a little puzzled and a little nervous.
Finally, one day before the vegetarian banquet, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help but call out to Jiang Changxi who was walking at the back and hadn’t entered the Sergestes wall landscape gate.
“You’ve been drinking alone recently. ” Yuan Zhou asked seriously with a cold expression.
/
“Su mu has gone home. He can’t come out recently, so he’s drinking alone.” Jiang Changxi said helplessly.
“Oh.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn’t know what to say.
However, Jiang Changxi looked at Yuan Zhou with her watery black eyes. Then, she flicked the black hair on her shoulder and said flirtatiously,””What’s wrong? Boss Yuan, do you want to have a drink with me?”
“No, I don’t drink when I cook.” Yuan Zhou refused flatly.
“Sigh, it breaks my heart every time.” Jiang Changxi stroked her chest and then sighed.
“You should go drink.” Yuan Zhou decided to ask another person.
“Don ‘t, I still have things to ask.” Jiang Changxi waved her hand and said.
“No need, the pub time has started.” Yuan Zhou knitted his brows and had a bad feeling.
“I just want to ask if the bed recommended by Ling Hong is comfortable. Is it enough to turn the tables?” Jiang Changxi leaned her back against the wall slightly and said with her head tilted.
“It’s very comfortable. You can buy it from him. ” Yuan Zhou put an end to Jiang Changxi’s following words.
“You guys are so insensitive. Xiao Ya only knows how to work overtime every day.” Jiang Changxi said with some hidden meaning.
“What?” Yuan Zhou slightly raised his eyebrows and said with a natural expression.
“That little girl has been working overtime recently, saying that she wants to save money. I asked her to come here to drink and relax, but she refused. Even I can’t refuse her reason for working overtime, so she had to come alone.” Jiang Changxi said.
“Working overtime?” Yuan Zhou said.
“Alright, I won’t bother you anymore. I’m going to drink.” Jiang Changxi waved her hand, turned around, and walked into the Sergestes wall-view.
Before she turned around, Jiang Changxi caught a glimpse of the faint worry on Yuan Zhou’s face.
“They really are two young people.” Jiang Changxi heaved a sigh in her heart and then went to have a drink.
“You’re working overtime to save money? Is there something wrong?” Of course, Yuan Zhou couldn’t hear what Jiang Changxi said. He was just thinking about Yin ya’s matter in his heart.
“Why don’t I go and ask?” Yuan Zhou had thought of many ideas in his heart, but he still rejected them in the end.
One reason was because of Jiang Changxi’s words, and the other reason was that it was too late to ask now. Yuan Zhou planned to make a decision after the vegetarian banquet ended tomorrow.
The 20th day of the first month arrived under Wu Hai’s strong resistance. Early in the morning, Wu Hai got up and went to knock on the door behind Yuan Zhou.
“Yuan Zhou, boss Yuan, are you really only going to cook vegetarian dishes today? no meat?” Wu Hai shouted while knocking on the door.
After knocking for about five minutes, Yuan Zhou came out in his sportswear.
“What are you doing here?” Yuan Zhou said.
“I’ve been knocking on the door for an hour. ” Wu Hai boasted shamelessly.
“Oh, there’s no breakfast today,” Yuan Zhou said.
“Are you really not going to cook meat today?” Wu Hai stared at Yuan Zhou with a burning gaze and asked.
“I won’t do it.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head.
“Then what do you want to eat?” Wu Hai asked, unwilling to give up.
“I said last time, vegetarian.” Yuan Zhou reminded him.
“Alright,” he said. Seeing Yuan Zhou’s affirmative tone, Wu Hai bent his back and walked away with his shoulders drooped.
Yuan Zhou didn’t feel strange about Wu Hai’s arrival, but the other person after the jog made Yuan Zhou feel strange.
Zhou Shijie had arrived and had been waiting at the back door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant since early in the morning.
When Yuan Zhou came back from jogging, Zhou Shijie was squatting down and greeting broth.
“Uncle Zhou? Why did you arrive so early?” Yuan Zhou wiped the sweat on his forehead and said doubtfully.
“Little Yuan, you’ve finished running? That’s right, even if you’re a chef, you have to have a good body. Otherwise, you won’t be able to carry a pot in the future. ” Zhou Shijie looked at the vigorous Yuan Zhou with satisfaction and said while nodding his head repeatedly.
“Yes.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and still looked at Zhou Shijie with puzzlement.
“I’m here to give that old man Colin something. ” Zhou Shijie answered.
“Master Colin?” Yuan Zhou said.
“Yeah, that’s him.” Zhou Shijie nodded his head and then took out a small earthen jar.
The earthen jar was dark brown in color and wasn’t very big. It was like the kind that was usually used for kimchi at home, about 30 centimeters high and 15 centimeters in diameter.
“Here, this is what he asked me to bring you. He said that he personally made fermented chili.” Zhou Shijie said.
“I’ll have to trouble uncle Zhou. ” Yuan Zhou received it with both hands and said.
“What trouble? it’s the old man who’s awkward. He asked me to get it from him before I left last night.” Zhou Shijie said unhappily.
Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him, but just looked at the size of the jar seriously.
“By the way, you said you wanted to discuss about Lu cuisine last time. You’re going to learn Lu cuisine?” Zhou Shijie only complained to himself. After that, he turned the topic to Yuan Zhou.
That’s right. Ever since Yuan Zhou accepted the upgrade mission two days ago, he had called Zhou Shijie that night and said that he wanted to exchange some Shandong cuisine.
That’s right. To exchange knowledge of Lu cuisines with Zhou Shijie, even though Zhou Shijie was in Chengdu and even the headquarters of the chef’s Association was in Chengdu, he was actually a Lu cuisines master. To be precise, he was proficient in many cuisines, but Lu cuisines were the best among them.
Back then, he was famous for Lu cuisine, while Zhang Yan was famous for Sichuan cuisine. At that time, there was a saying that Lu cuisine was eaten by the upper-class officials and nobles, Huaiyang cuisine was loved by rich businessmen as they paid attention to exquisiteness and cutting skills, while Sichuan cuisine was loved by the common people.
At that time, Zhang Yan and Zhou Shijie were competing for the position of Chairman of the chef’s Association. In addition, the two of them had been competing with each other when they were young and famous. Therefore, the two of them were still at odds with each other.
“I feel that I have gained a lot from communicating with master Colin, so I want to learn more about various cuisines and then improve my cooking skills.” Speaking of the cooking skills, Yuan Zhou subconsciously stood straight and then said with a serious expression.
“No problem. Just ask me whatever you want to know. I’m free.” Zhou Shijie directly ignored the pile of official documents on his desk.
“I’ll have to trouble uncle Zhou. Next time, I’ll invite you to come over for a meal and then we’ll have an exchange of cooking skills. ” Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
“It’s no trouble at all. It’s a good thing that you’ve improved. However, I won’t decline your cooking.” Zhou Shijie shook his head and said with a smile.
