Translator: 549690339
Dominica had already planned to do that before he came here. He even wanted to tell Yuan Zhou that he could make the star awarding ceremony as big as possible. Of course, he definitely needed some cooperation, such as closing the business for a day or something. However, Yuan Zhou’s refusal left him dumbfounded.

This was an unexpected result.

Even the calm Dominica didn’t look good, let alone the younger Sylphy. Originally, she was still observing the teacup, but she immediately turned her eyes to Yuan Zhou.

“Head chef Yuan, did you just refuse to give the star rating?”

It was not that she could not refuse, but Sylphy found it unbelievable. After all, it was a director from all of Asia who came to talk to her personally. This was already a big enough honor. There was no other situation in the world that was more important than this.

“Thank you very much for coming, supervisor Dominica. I’m very touched, but I still refuse, because Chinese food doesn’t need to be evaluated by Michelin.” Yuan Zhou said quite calmly.

In fact, even if Yuan Zhou knew how to cook French cuisine, he would still refuse the Michelin evaluation. The reason was simple. Yuan Zhou believed that the core of the evaluation of a chef was the customers.

Sylphy was dumbfounded. ‘Why is it not working?’ He didn’t quite understand, and subconsciously looked at his uncle.

After all, Dominica eaten much more salt than Sylphy. At that time, his expression had changed, but now he had regained his calmness. Looking at Yuan Zhou’s firm expression, he thought for a while and continued,””Head chef Yuan, we are very sincere. This matter is beneficial to both parties. We can spend more time on it. How about this? you can think about it carefully and we can discuss it tomorrow at this time. What do you think?”

He planned to have a meal in the restaurant tonight and see if he could find a breakthrough point to successfully make Yuan Zhou agree to the star rating.

…

Yuan Zhou had intended to refuse Dominick directly, but Dominica wasn’t young anymore. He couldn’t just drive Dominick away directly since Dominick had made a special trip here. The respect of Chinese people must be mutual.

“No problem,” Yuan Zhou said,”Mr. Dominica, you’re all welcome to come and drink tea at this time tomorrow.”

“Thank you, head chef Yuan.” Dominica was a tactful person, and he quickly got up to leave.

His actions were so fast that he did not even have the time to drink the tea that he thought was very fragrant. He had no choice but to be in a bad mood. Dominica was the one who had a bad start.

“Uncle, what’s going on? Are you really coming back tomorrow?” Sylphy was young, after all. Seeing Yuan Zhou not giving her uncle any face, she felt a little embarrassed.

It had been a long time since something like this had happened. If any restaurant found out that a Michelin food critic was going to evaluate the food, they would either be overjoyed or reject the food because of their personal value, not to mention their status and other things.

If you were the head chef of a three-star Michelin restaurant, you could resign and go to another restaurant as the Executive Head Chef. Your salary would be doubled.

It was obviously a golden opportunity for him, so why would he be rejected? Chu Xiao had also accepted the Michelin rating.

“Of course. This is our job, isn’t it?” Dominica on the other hand, did not have much reaction.

“It’s our job, but I can see that head chef Yuan’s attitude is very firm. It’s not easy to do.” Sylphy thought for a moment.

“Let’s have dinner here tonight and see how it goes. ” Dominica said directly.

Sylphy felt that her uncle’s idea was not bad. If they tried the food in the store first, they might have something in common.

Dominica been promoted from a TV food critic to the Asian director and was previously known as the “golden tongue.” He might agree to some suggestions.

Sylphy was very confident in her uncle’s strength.

“So, are we going back to the hotel or doing something else?” Sylphy asked.

They had come to China this time to evaluate master chef restaurant’s star rating, so basically, everything they did revolved around this theme.

“I’ve read some information. The business here is very good. We didn’t make any reservations just now, so we can only wait here just in case.” Said Dominica.

He didn’t know that the master chef Restaurant didn’t have a reservation service at all. When Dominica collected the information, he focused more on Yuan Zhou’s personal achievements and didn’t know much about the restaurant’s strategy. He had originally planned to learn about it on the spot during the evaluation. In this way, it wouldn’t solidify his image and would be helpful for his star rating.

Dominica’s idea was totally correct, but it didn’t apply to master chef Restaurant. Fortunately, he knew that the restaurant had a lot of customers and needed to line up in advance. Otherwise, he might not even be able to get dinner today.

“Alright,” he said. Sylphy said, nodding.

They didn’t have to wait for long. After all, it was almost fouro’ clock when they arrived. They had only walked for a short while on Taoxi road when the observant Dominica noticed that people had started to gather at the entrance of master chef Restaurant.

It was probably time to line up. He was not far away from the store, so he brought Sylphy over in a few steps. At this time, there were already seven or eight people at the entrance of the store.

They were all Chinese, so Dominica and Sylphy were relatively quiet at the back of the line.

The leader of the shift at the queuing Committee today was man man. She had arrived very early. When she saw that there were strangers in the line and they were foreigners, she immediately went forward to communicate with them.

The reason why man man would do this was because when a foreigner came to eat, he didn’t even know that he had to bring his passport, swipe his card, and get a number. He waited in line for an hour, and then didn’t eat anything. His heart was simply indescribable.

Therefore, after this incident, the members of the queuing Committee deliberately took out a rule. When they saw unfamiliar people, they would go up and ask if they had brought their ID card or passport, which were needed for eating.

Not to mention that this operation was very effective. At least, it had stopped several foreign tourists who had rushed in without their passports. It was not that they did not know that they needed passports here, but they had forgotten to bring them when they left the house. This could definitely be called a bloody lesson.

“Hello, welcome to Chengdu. You need to bring your passport to dine at master chef Restaurant. Have you brought it with you?” With a smile on her face, man man went up to him and asked him politely in English.

Her standard accent had a soft tone to it, which made people feel comfortable.

“You need a passport to eat?” Dominica was a little dumbfounded. He had never encountered such a situation before. He had only heard that one needed a passport to buy things abroad, but this was the first time he had encountered one that required a passport to eat.

“I did, thank you.” Sylphy said.

As a qualified head assistant, how could he climb up faster than others? on one hand, he had a strong backing, but his own ability was also very important. Otherwise, it was possible that he would not be able to hold up the wall.

“I’ll get your number in advance later. You can just swipe your passport at the machine over there. I wish you a pleasant meal in the restaurant. ” Man man pointed at the number taking machine that was glowing with silver light and said.

“Thank you,” he said. Sylphy thanked him seriously.
