Chapter 1198: Inside information from Zhou Shijie

Zhou Shijie’s slightly excited voice came from the phone, which made Yuan Zhou even more puzzled. “This good news is inside information.” Zhou Shijie continued. “Then tell me, will there be any impact?” Yuan Zhou asked immediately. “Of course it’s fine. You’re one of the participants anyway.” Zhou Shijie said smilingly as he felt a wave of comfort in his heart. “Alright, go ahead.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and then said. “Last year, the people from the Michelin company came. Little Yuan, you know about this, right?” Zhou Shijie asked, trying to keep him in suspense. “I know.” Yuan Zhou said cooperatively. Although he was answering in cooperation with Zhou Shijie, Yuan Zhou had already made a guess in his heart. “The Michelin chef didn’t come to our Sichuan Province last time. He went straight to Shanghai, so I didn’t tell you.” Zhou Shijie explained briefly. “Yes.” Yuan Zhou answered lightly, indicating that he understood. Indeed, the person who told Yuan Zhou about the Michelin company coming to China last time was Chu Xiao. Zhou Shijie really didn’t tell him that. “Those foreigners looked down on the people from Sichuan Province last time, but they still came this time.” Zhou Shijie said complacently. “You said that the people from Michelin are coming this time, so come to my shop.” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively. “You’re sometimes as smart as a monkey, and sometimes you’re completely clueless. That’s right, I’ll come to your shop to give you a star rating. ” Zhou Shijie said with a smile. “It’s easy to guess,” Yuan Zhou said. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s get back to the main point. First, our village chef event this time is really big. Second, the news of your inauguration has spread quite far. The head chef of the small eatery has even specially sent a draft to congratulate you.” Zhou Shijie continued unhurriedly,””I don’t know how the Michelin company found out about it. They said that they were coming to Sichuan Province to judge and give people a star rating.” “Little Yuan, you’re very famous now. Even the names of some small stars aren’t as useful as your name in Sichuan.” Zhou Shijie teased with a smile. “Yes.” Yuan Zhou answered “hmm” from time to time to indicate that he was listening carefully. “This time, it’s not just your shop. There are a few other spots as well. Shu restaurant is also being judged.” Zhou Shijie really didn’t treat Yuan Zhou as an outsider. Thus, he directly told Yuan Zhou all the information that had yet to be released. Michelin’s selection had always been done in secret, but no matter how secret it was, it was no longer a secret. Those who needed to know still knew. It was just that those who were selected usually didn’t know about it. After all, if they were selected, it was also a symbol of recognition of Chinese dishes. Therefore, Zhou Shijie wouldn’t specifically instruct others. It was only true skill if they were to be selected by force. This was the style of the chefs of the older generation. Of course, Yuan Zhou was not one of them. He was a special case. The reason he told Yuan Zhou this news was to make him happy. After all, the people in Europe and America had never acknowledged Chinese cuisines. This made Zhou Shijie and the other older generation chefs very dissatisfied. After hearing Zhou Shijie’s words, Yuan Zhou was silent for about a minute before he said,””Chairman Zhou, can you do me a favor?” This time, Yuan Zhou addressed Zhou Shijie in a very formal manner. It was the first time since the two of them became familiar with each other. “Call him uncle Zhou.” Zhou Shijie said with dissatisfaction. “Alright, uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou felt a little helpless and then followed Zhou Shijie’s lead. “That’s right. If there’s anything, just say it. There’s no need to be so serious.” Zhou Shijie said without a care. “It’s like this, I don’t want to participate in the Michelin selection. ” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then directly said his idea. “Why?” Zhou Shijie didn’t react immediately and asked directly. “First of all, Michelin makes tires. Second, he used to evaluate Western food while I made Chinese food. Do they know Chinese food?” Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly without any trace of politeness. Zhou Shijie muttered to himself for a while and then nodded his head,””That’s true. ” “So, uncle Zhou, can you help me get selected this time? I refuse to participate in the Michelin selection.” Yuan Zhou said firmly. “Okay, you’re right. Those foreigners don’t know anything about Chinese food. It’s just a service.” Zhou Shijie followed Yuan Zhou’s lead and then agreed to the request. “Then I’ll have to trouble uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou thanked him earnestly. “What’s wrong with that? but do you really not want that honor?” Zhou Shijie asked again. “To me, this is not an honor.” Yuan Zhou said affirmatively. “That’s true. You still have a long future ahead of you. You really don’t need to care about it.” Zhou Shijie thought for a while and then nodded his head. “Yes.” Yuan Zhou didn’t act modest this time and answered directly. “Alright, you’re about to open your restaurant. Next time I come to your restaurant for a meal, you’ll have to make something delicious for me.” Zhou Shijie said. “No problem,” he said. Yuan Zhou said straightforwardly. “Alright, then you don’t have to worry about this matter anymore. I’ll handle it.” Zhou Shijie said. “Alright, thank you for your trouble, uncle Zhou.” Yuan Zhou thanked him again. “What’s the big deal about calling me uncle Zhou?” Zhou Shijie said smilingly and then hung up the phone. “Michelin? Forget it. ” Yuan Zhou put down the phone and grunted with a smile. Yuan Zhou would never admit that he was a narrow-minded person and that he would never be dissatisfied with the matter of the Michelin company passing by but not entering Sichuan. Yuan Zhou was not a petty person. He really felt that Michelin wasn’t qualified to evaluate Chinese food. They didn’t understand what Chinese food was worth evaluating. However, it was undeniable that Yuan Zhou, who had refused the Michelin restaurant, began to prepare breakfast in a refreshed manner. Moreover, he was very fast. Even Diandian’s regret of having his leave rejected had disappeared. “My goal is to become the master chef. In the future, I’ll make a selection that’s much more awesome than the Michelin company. It’ll be called Yuan Zhou’s selection.” Yuan Zhou was filled with more fighting spirit in his heart and his hands moved even faster, almost leaving afterimages. Yuan Zhou wouldn’t admit that he chose Yuan Zhou’s appraisal because of his narcissism. He just felt that it was clear and easy to remember if he named his name. That was all. Otherwise, the contradiction Literature Award and the Hua Luogeng mathematics award would be known as soon as they heard about it. In the future, when others heard about Yuan Zhou’s selection, they would naturally know that it was a selection of chefs and wouldn’t understand. After setting a small goal, Yuan Zhou remembered that he hadn’t opened the door yet and hurriedly wiped his hands to open the door. When he opened the door, he greeted them and then went back to the kitchen to continue cooking. Today’s breakfast was a new type of rice noodle roll that had never appeared before, so he still had to prepare it carefully. “I smell something. I’ve never smelled it before. It’s so fragrant.” As soon as he opened the door, Yuan Zhou left after saying hello. He didn’t notice that the customers were sniffing into the restaurant without a trace, trying to find out what was the breakfast today. Of course, there was one exception, Wu Hai. He had already leaned against the door with his neck stretched out. He was just short of walking in. ……
