The airport is about an hour and 15 minutes away from Zhou Shijie's kitchen office.

During this time, Fujiwara Iemoto's phone called.

Because there is a one-hour time difference between Japan and China, it is eleven o'clock at noon in China at 12 o'clock in Japan, and Zhou Shijie naturally has not yet gotten off work at this time.

Yes, when Zhong Lili took the phone outside the door, Zhou Shijie directly picked up the phone and greeted Fujiwara Iemoto.

Fujiwara Jiayuan pressed his anxious mood, and slowly greeted Zhou Shijie for a while before he spoke: "I heard that Yuan Jun will hold a personal cooking exhibition recently, I don't know if Zhou Jun knows about this?"

"Yes, it will officially start in two days. Zhou Shijie was shocked and had a bad premonition.

"So is Zhou Jun ready to invite me? Fujiwara Iemoto didn't beat around the bush this time, but asked directly.

"This ...... Mr. Fujiwara, you have always attended state banquets, but this is only the first time that Yuanzhou has held a personal cooking exhibition, and you are not ready to hold a grand event. Zhou Shijie said euphemistically.

Yes, Zhou Shijie's meaning is very clear, he didn't plan to send an invitation to Fujiwara Jiayuan, so he prevaricated like this.

"No, no, no, this is Zhou Jun's narrow-mindedness, Yuan Jun's excellent cooking skills should naturally be large, and Yuan Jun's cooking skills can fully match the state banquet. Fujiwara Iemoto said solemnly.

"That is, Yuan Zhou's cooking skills are naturally not inferior to the state banquet, but this time it is really ......" Zhou Shijie was proud of Yuan Zhou's cooking skills, but also a little troubled.

Fujiwara Iemoto's meaning Zhou Shijie could naturally hear it, but there were really no extra invitations for a while.

But this time, Zhou Shijie was interrupted by Fujiwara Jiayuan before he finished speaking, and he said directly: "Doesn't Zhou Jun plan to invite me?"

"This, that's it, the cooking show is about to start, I'm afraid you don't have time, Mr. Fujiwara. Zhou Shijie has never lacked the hypocrisy of adults, and said very euphemistically.

Fujiwara Iemoto naturally understood Zhou Shijie's refusal three times and twice, if Fujiwara Iemoto usually just put down the phone and didn't say anything.

Just kidding, what is his identity, it's good to ask for the invitation in person, where can he be rejected several times like this, but thinking of the surprise of Yuan Zhou's knife at that Sino-Japanese exchange meeting, he couldn't help it.

He wanted to see how much such a young man had grown in the past year, and wanted to taste the taste that came from the ingredients themselves that had been brought to the extreme.

"In that case, I'll wait for Zhou Jun's invitation. Fujiwara Iemoto took a deep breath and immediately climbed down the pole, and hung up the phone after saying it directly.

"This ...... It's called something. Zhou Shijie looked at the phone that was hung up, both angry and funny.

"This old man has become shameless. Zhou Shijie scolded with a smile, and at the same time was happy for Yuan Zhou in his heart.

After laughing, Zhou Shijie was entangled again and began to think about where the invitation from Fujiwara Iemoto came from.

Although Zhou Shijie said that he clearly refused, he would still invite Fujiwara Jiayuan to come in his heart, and it was impossible for him to push Yuan Zhou with the prestige of this door.

Fujiwara Iemoto's status is still very high, and his popularity is also very widespread, and his title as the Japanese who knows Chinese cuisine best is also recognized by the International Federation of Chefs.

Such a person came to ask for the invitation in person and strongly asked to participate, how could Zhou Shijie not allow it, but now he is worried about where to pull out this invitation.

Zhou Shijie sat behind the desk and thought seriously, but although this matter was urgent, there were other tasks for the cooking exhibition that needed Zhou Shijie's instructions, so he was thinking of ways while working.

After all, in his opinion, it is enough to give Fujiwara Iemoto a word before today, and a four-hour flight from Daorong City, Japan, is not too far.

But I never expected that Fujiwara Imoto was an anxious person, and only twenty minutes later, Fujiwara Imoto called again, this time he didn't say anything about the invitation, but asked about the temperature in Rongcheng.

said that he wanted to come to communicate with him Zhou Shijie and exchange a new Chinese dish that he had recently developed.

This is obviously the drunkard's intention not to drink, but to urge him to give an invitation.

Zhou Shijie was even more helpless after hanging up the phone again, but this was not over, and when Zhou Shijie was about to get off work for lunch, Fujiwara Iemoto called again at the time.

This time, Fujiwara Iemoto didn't say anything else, and began to talk about the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan and the friendship between China and Japan.

The big hat was worn on Zhou Shijie's head one by one, which meant that he Fujiwara Iemoto was willing to make his own contribution to Sino-Japanese friendship and the like.

Fujiwara Jiayuan's posture was extremely low, and Zhou Shijie, who was low, said happily: "Then the invitation letter was airlifted to Mr. Fujiwara to you, or did I send it to you when you arrived in China?"

"Don't bother Zhou Jun, I can come directly to get my afternoon plane. Fujiwara Iemoto said immediately.

"Okay, then look forward to your arrival Mr. Fujiwara. Zhou Shijie said politely.

"See you in the evening. After Fujiwara Iemoto finished speaking, he hung up the phone with satisfaction and went straight downstairs to leave.

"Alas, Li Minghui has been out of the school for so long anyway, and it seems that he can't catch up this time, so he can only next time. Zhou Shijie took out the invitation card for Li Minghui in the drawer and sighed.

That's right, Zhou Shijie was urged by Fujiwara Jiayuan to send out the invitation of his eldest apprentice Li Minghui.

"Minghui shouldn't mind. Zhou Shijie decisively wrote the name of Fujiwara Iemoto on the blank invitation, and then put it on the other side.

The two invitations that Zhou Shijie gave to his apprentices in this drawer were originally going to let them watch him write and give them a little preferential treatment, but now it is obvious that only Liu Tong can enjoy it.

And Li Minghui, who had made an appointment to come tonight to get the invitation, didn't know anything.

However, the principle that blessings and disasters do not go alone can be applied everywhere.

At half past one, Chu Xiao took August to the building of the Kitchen Federation, and this time Zhou Shijie personally went downstairs to pick up the people.

August This is the first time to come to the Kitchen Federation, and in his capacity, it is also on par with Zhou Shijie, or in foreign countries, he August is more famous.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Chu Xiao didn't wait for August to speak, he said directly: "I brought the people, and you can discuss the rest yourself, I still have something to do, so I will leave first." ”

He also said the same thing to August, and then Chu Xiao left directly.

As soon as Chu Xiao left, the person who acted as the translator became Zhong Lili, and Zhong Lili's French was still very good.

August fluently expressed his desire to participate in Yuanzhou's personal cooking exhibition, and then Zhou Shijie naturally remembered the invitation card in the drawer that originally belonged to his favorite little apprentice Liu Tong.

This time, Liu Tong's invitation card naturally did not keep.

"The master did his best. Zhou Shijie looked at August who was holding the invitation, and said secretly in his heart.

......
