After saying goodbye to the people of the Lyon Shipping Association, Dean Bernard took Zhang Ang into the city.
Looking at the familiar scene in the city, the city walls being repaired, the houses being rebuilt, the workers working hard, and the pedestrians talking and laughing with each other, Zhang Ang was full of emotion.
At the first stop, they first returned to the building of the former Paris Culinary Association, which is now the office of the Michelin Institute in Paris, and the small number of chefs who have started a family and do not want to leave Paris are left behind, plus their apprentices, there are less than 100 people, making the whole building seem empty.
After putting down the salute, resting for a while, and having eaten something, Dean Bernard began to inquire about the remaining cooks.
"The situation is very good now, Marshal Napoleon is about to become emperor, and he will certainly not embarrass us like the original royal family. ā
"Many of the original nobles have been arrested, and some of the old ways are impassable. ā
"Now the political affairs should be in the town hall, where there are now people from the revolutionary army, and some of the minor nobles who have been promoted by Marshal Napoleon. ā
"But they are all preparing for the coronation ceremony these days, so they should be very busy. , why don't you go back in a few days? ā
"I've heard that the city hall is very clean now, it doesn't take benefits indiscriminately, and it is also efficient. ā
"Our academy has complete procedures, sufficient strength, and a venerable-level powerhouse like you, Dean Bernard, it shouldn't be a problem to apply for another permit. ā
......
Everyone was mixed and briefed Dean Bernard on the situation.
After combing and thinking about it, Dean Bernard took Zhang Ang to the city hall.
The town hall was not far away, and the two of them walked by themselves, and along the way there were people busy decorating the streets, resting the roads, dressing up the trees, all hard at work for the upcoming coronation.
Outside the town hall, there were people running in and out everywhere, and they were running very eagerly, and some even used light skills.
When they walked into the city hall, the two found that it was also busy, and each office was crowded with people, and there were constantly people running back and forth in various offices with lists.
City hall officials, large and small, were all busy, and there were people shouting something at the top of their lungs:
"Is the armor of the guard of honor done? If not, urge it again, the guard of honor drill is over, and you can't keep up here." ā
"How many of the messengers who went out to send invitations haven't returned, hurry up and come to our side to summarize them. ā
"Where is the list of envoys from all countries attending the ceremony, ah, who saw it?"
"How's the preparation for the dinner after the ceremony? The ingredients and medicines are prepared in advance! And the chef, none of the famous masters of Paris can be found now?"
"Master Victor has completed the design of the tiara, a total of three sets, who will give it to the marshal to choose, the time is very short. Once you've chosen, let's bother the master, it's best to build it overnight. ā
......
Seeing such a busy scene, Dean Bernard had no choice but to find a young nobleman who was writing something on his desk and asked, "We are representatives of the Michelin Academy, and we want to apply for a qualification certificate, but we don't know where to do it?"
"What Michelin Academy? Where is the Academy? I'm sorry, everyone has been sent to prepare for the ceremony, it's been a busy few days, so you might as well wait until the ceremony is over." All right. The young nobleman didn't lift his head.
"Then, when will this coronation ceremony end?" Zhang Ang couldn't help but ask.
"Tomorrow officially starts, lasts three days, plus the finish, you'd better be in a week's time. The young nobleman said casually.
"Ah, it's been so long, our Michelin Institute was formerly known as the Paris Culinary Association, and now we have moved to Lyon, it's not easy to make a trip, can you handle it faster?" Dean Bernard pleaded.
"Can't you wait a week? Where are we free to give you now...... No, you're from the Paris Culinary Association?" the young nobleman looked up.
"Ah, yes, our association has now built a martial arts academy, now in Lyon. Dean Bernard explained.
"Well, I said there wasn't a single master chef in the city, so you moved away. Linda, Linda, the master chef you're looking for is here, come down quickly!" the young nobleman cried out with his neck craned.
Immediately, a young woman in a strong suit rushed down the stairs: "Master Cook?"
"They said they were from the original Paris Culinary Association, and they came to do something. The young man said directly.
"Who are you?" asked the woman in the suit, turning her head.
"Oh, I'm Bernard, the former president of the Paris Culinary Institute and the current president of the Michelin Institute. Dean Bernard introduced.
"You are Master Bernard, I only sent someone to Lyon yesterday to invite you, I didn't expect you to come so soon. The woman in the power suit looked surprised.
"No, we set off early, actually, ......"
Before Dean Bernard could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the woman in the power suit: "Anyway, it's good to come, this banquet for the coronation ceremony, our city hall wants to hand it over to your association to organize." Of course, we will not lose the mercenary fee. If you mention all kinds of ingredients, we will raise them as soon as possible. ā
"We are actually here to apply for this hospital qualification certificate, this dinner ......"
As soon as Zhang Ang spoke, he was interrupted by a woman in a strong suit: "No matter what qualification certificate, as long as your association is responsible for handling the banquet of this ceremony, I am in charge and will give you a smooth journey and handle everything properly, how about it?"
"Okay, we agreed, I don't know what the rules of this banquet are?" Dean Bernard muttered for a moment, and agreed.
After rummaging for a while, the woman in the power suit took out a document: "This banquet lasted for a total of three days, and the banquet was attended by envoys from various countries, big nobles, city lords with real power, as well as high-ranking officers and officials of our revolutionary army, as well as a few martial arts powerhouses who were not nobles. We need you to prepare the basics of three meals a day, a grand dinner after the ceremony, desserts, fruits, drinks and so on. I will compile the specific list for you as soon as possible. ā
"Okay, no problem, I'll bring someone over and prepare it as soon as possible. Dean Bernard agreed.
After a few more discussions, the deal was completed and the two prepared to leave the town hall.
But as soon as I walked to the door, I saw three people walking towards me.
At the head of the pack was a beautiful and delicate woman wearing white light armor and a sword at her waist. Behind her, there were two young and handsome knights, one in a blue samurai robe, with a cold face and a black spear on his back, and a red aristocratic dress, with his head tilted sideways, and talking about something.
Of course, the three of them also saw the two who had just walked out the door.
"Leon?" said softly, with a surprise of disbelief.
