Although Zhou Shijie was so thoughtful in his heart, he was actually very happy, and he went to send August to the hotel with a smile on his face.

Well, by the way, I have to entertain him, after all, he is also a high-status French celebrity chef, and he can only be entertained by Zhou Shijie himself.

At this time, Yuan Zhou should have come to entertain him in person, but Zhou Shijie directly said that Yuan Zhou was preparing for the cooking exhibition, and August could only dispel his desire to meet Yuan Zhou in advance.

On the other side, Yuan Zhou, who was said by Zhou Shijie to be seriously preparing for the cooking exhibition, had just finished lunch time and was resting, preparing to continue practicing cooking for a while.

It was at this time that Chu Xiao arrived.

At that time, Yuan Zhou had just changed his clothes, light blue narrow-sleeved Hanfu, he was usually dressed very straight, his waist and back were straight, the neckline and cuffs were embroidered with lotus patterns, and the whole person was sitting on the chef's chair with his eyes slightly closed, recuperating.

"Stepping" Chu Xiao stepped into the store, but Yuan Zhou's eyes didn't open, and he said directly: "Lunch time has passed, please come back for dinner." ”

"I'm not here to eat. Chu Xiao said with a smile.

"I know, you're stopping by to check out the new menu. Yuan Zhou said and opened his eyes.

"Yes, I was invited to your cooking show. Chu Xiao said.

"Hmm. Yuan Zhou nodded, and then said, "You won't be disappointed." ”

"Of course, I believe in my own vision. Chu Xiao said confidently.

"No, I believe in my own cooking. Yuan Zhou didn't get up, but his momentum was no worse than that of Chu Xiao who was standing.

"Don't you want me to sit down?" Chu Xiao said.

"Sit down, there's no water here. Yuan Zhou did not take the opportunity to ask Chu Xiao to sit down, but said calmly.

"Then I think I can still go inside with what I brought and change it to a glass of water. Chu Xiao said.

This time, Yuan Zhou didn't speak, but opened the partition and walked out directly, and then opened the door of the cherry shrimp wall and motioned for Chu Xiao to follow.

During this period, Yuan Zhou did not ask Chu Xiao what news he brought, and Chu Xiao did not speak, so the two walked quietly to the courtyard of the tavern.

This time, Yuan Zhou took Chu Xiao to the front yard.

Since he made a relationship with Yin Ya in the backyard, Yuan Zhou basically doesn't take anyone to the backyard to talk about things, which belongs to Yuan Zhou's tenderness to Yin Ya.

said that it was clear water, it was really clear water, Yuan Zhou carried a wooden kettle and two wooden cups, and put them directly in front of the two.

The wooden kettle is oily and shiny, with a clear and beautiful texture, with a hint of antiquity, and the warmth of the cup is very comfortable in such a slightly hot weather.

Although the cup does not have a handle, it is not slippery, and it is very human-like to hold, and the mouth of the cup is round and delicate, and there is no roughness of wood at all.

"If you carve it casually, you can still drink saliva. Yuan Zhou said casually.

"Looks like your wood carving has improved. Chu Xiao pinched the cup and continued indifferently: "Then next time, I will also give two games in my spare time." ”

Yuan Zhou instantly remembered the transnational express sent by Chu Xiao, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "It's also a game, it must have been done secretly for a long time." ”

Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Yuan Zhou still said indifferently on his face: "It's okay, if you like this cup, you can take it away, gadgets, you can carve a few practice hands." ”

Now it was Chu Xiao's turn to twitch the corners of his mouth.

Fortunately, neither of them is a person who likes to compete, and after a few words, Chu Xiao took the initiative to mention the purpose of his visit today.

"At the end of the personal cooking exhibition abroad, there is a part that requires the participants to judge the satisfaction and dissatisfaction, and then come to the final result. Chu Xiao said: "Only a satisfaction rate of more than 50% can be considered a success, you know." ”

"Uncle Zhou has already told me about the process, because this is the first time I have held it in China, and it is based on foreign countries, and there is indeed such a thing. Yuan Zhou nodded.

"Well, I proposed this one so that there could be a comparison. Chu Xiao said.

"Definitely. "Yuan Zhou Road.

"There are only two answers: satisfactory and dissatisfied, and no opinions can be raised, no one can give up, and no intermediate answer can be given. Chu Xiao continued.

"It's better. Yuan Zhou nodded in agreement.

The cooking exhibition is supposed to show the chef's own cooking skills, and it is natural to say that you are satisfied or dissatisfied with the chef's cooking skills.

After all, this is a cooking show, not a competition.

"Speaking of which, it is very popular to hold personal cooking exhibitions abroad, but there are not many failed chefs, and even a lot, after all, it is difficult to reconcile people, and you have to have a heart, and you can impress those who come to participate, not just delicious. Chu Xiao said.

"Hmm. Yuan Zhou nodded.

"It just so happened that I also held a personal cooking exhibition abroad, and the effect was not bad. Chu Xiao seemed to be modest and continued: "The satisfaction rate that time was eighty-seven percent, and it can be regarded as the second person to achieve such a high level of satisfaction in the past fifty years." ”

"It's really ok. Yuan Zhou nodded pertinently.

After all, the cooking show is nothing else, and it is very good to be able to achieve 87% satisfaction, this is a personal cooking show, not anything else.

Generally speaking, a 70% satisfaction rate at a personal cooking show is a very good master.

You must know that one time someone was dissatisfied because the chef made a carrot decoration that he didn't like, so he gave a direct answer of dissatisfaction.

It's easy to imagine how picky those people are, but that's also the requirement of the Culinary Show, which is to give satisfaction according to the most personal idea, or anonymity, regardless of anything else.

"Cooking shows are usually held by the person who is the main cooker, but sometimes one or two good friends are invited to make two specialty dishes to show together. Chu Xiao paused and continued: "And the media speculated which friend the chef would invite was also a reserved program before the start of the cooking show." ”

"After all, we're not a variety show, and we didn't have so many highlights before we started. Chu Xiao spread his hands and said.

"Well, I've heard that. Yuan Zhou nodded to indicate that he understood.

Chu Xiao glanced at Yuan Zhou, and seeing that he didn't mean to speak again, he said again: "I read the news and I'm already guessing who you will invite." ”

"I haven't seen it, but I've been working on the menu lately. Yuan Zhou said sincerely.

"Ahem, then are you going to take Cheng Zhaomei as an assistant this time? Chu Xiao clenched his fist with one hand and said with a fake cough.

"Well, he's in charge of keeping the kitchen door open to the door. Yuan Zhou nodded.

"This time, you are still cooking for two hundred people alone?" asked Chu Xiao with an eyebrow.

"Of course. Yuan Zhou nodded as a matter of course.

"But inviting friends is also an unwritten rule in a personal cooking show. Chu Xiao continued.

"Oh, I'm not going to invite anyone, the cooking show with 200 people lasts for four days, which is not much for me. "Yuan Zhou Road.

Chu Xiao: "......"

Madness hints at failure......
