Chapter 2184: The winery’s boss

Translator: 549690339
In the morning, the sun rose early, but just as the sky was starting to turn white, the sun slowly rose from the horizon.

“I had such a realistic dream.” When Yuan Zhou woke up, he didn’t dream many times, but each time, it was quite profound. For example, this time, he dreamed that he had a “everlasting feast” at his wedding with Xiao Ya. There were 100 tables, each of which was different.

“Speaking of which, this method seems pretty good.” Yuan Zhou pondered for a while and considered the possibility.

As he thought about it, he began his morning exercise. When he ran, he could feel the hot weather.

“It seems like summer is really here.” Yuan Zhou said.

After he finished the instant noodles as usual, the breakfast time started as scheduled. From the breakfast time to the lunch time, Yuan Zhou was always orderly and busy.

When the lunch time ended, Yuan Zhou immediately washed up and changed his clothes before he planned to go out.

Due to the weather, Yuan Zhou was dressed in an outstanding silver Han Chinese clothing with blue edges. It was entirely silver and there were even some dark floating auspicious clouds and sea blue edges on it.

Looking at it made people feel cool, and more importantly, the silk was refreshing.

This set of clothes was a birthday gift from Yin ya this year. It was suitable for such an important occasion.

…

Previously, Zhou Shijie had said that he would send someone to pick them up. As expected, after Yuan Zhou carried out a huge jar weighing 10 Jin from the backyard, he received a call. Zhong Lili came with him as well. This was already a common practice.

If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t leave, Zhou Shijie even wanted to come and pick them up himself. That way, he would be able to see the legendary monkey wine at first sight and wouldn’t have to scratch his ears and cheeks.

Zhou Shijie was a top-notch chef. Although he wasn’t a Master of Wine making, there were still some dishes that required wine. Therefore, he had dabbled in it. Moreover, this was the legendary wine. He was definitely very interested in it.

Today, the winery’s big shots weren’t talking about the black-clothed guqin wine and vodka, but the master winemakers or the Chief Technical Officer of the Wuliangye company. Although these people were related to cooking, they were basically in two different circles.

A large number of them came, half for Yuan Zhou’s face and half for the name of the monkey wine.

With Yuan Zhou’s current arm strength and waist, he easily took the 10 Jin jar and left. After saying goodbye to Zhong Lili, he got in the car and prepared to set off.

Since it was an activity organized by the chef’s Association, the final venue was naturally held in that building. For the sake of the wine tasting conference, Zhou Shijie specially used two connected halls. On one side, there was a stove where the ten beauty contest could be held, and on the other side, there was no venue for the wine tasting conference. It was killing two birds with one stone and very convenient.

It wasn’t a long journey, and they soon arrived at their destination.

Zhou Shijie said that he had invited Yuan Zhou to present the award as a guest, which meant it was true. After Yuan Zhou arrived and took a short rest, he was led by Zhong Lili to sit at the rostrum. At that time, the ten beauty contest had just come to an end.

The hall was huge, but there were many guests, so it didn’t feel empty at all.

For the sake of this ten-beauty contest, Zhou Shijie had put in a lot of effort. He also wanted to achieve the effect of publicity. Therefore, one chef for one dish, ten-beauty meant ten chefs for ten dishes. However, it couldn’t stand the variety of Chinese cuisines. When many chefs stood together, it was simply a sight to behold.

Yuan Zhou’s role this time was to have a speech script. After he finished his speech, he would present the award to the representatives and that was it.

Yuan Zhou had already finished writing the manuscript a few days ago. After writing such manuscripts frequently, he had become more familiar with them and could finish them in a few strokes. After sending them to Zhou Shijie and making sure that there were no amendments, he memorized them and went off-script this time.

“Pa pa pa pa”

The excitement of seeing their idol on the spot and Yuan Zhou’s speech made many chefs clap their hands painfully.

“I believe that the chefs participating in the ten beauties competition are the mainstays of the domestic cooking circle. Let’s cheer for the broad food culture of China. We can always create and develop it.”

If it was anyone else who gave such a speech, it would feel like empty talk. However, it was different when the speaker was the publicly acknowledged Chef King.

He even felt a little proud when Yuan Zhou said that he was the pillar of the cooking circle.

Zhou Shijie’s flow of events was quite good. The speech and the award ceremony only took half an hour. Then, it took ten minutes to finish. It was almost threeo’ clock.

The wine tasting conference would officially start at threeo’ clock. The emcee of the conference today was Zhou Shijie. Therefore, he wore a newly made Tang suit today, which made him look very energetic.

After sending off the famous chef who had an urgent matter to attend to, Yuan Zhou was led by Zhou Shijie to the hall at the side through the door connected in the middle.

The big shots of the distillery were all older. Yuan Zhou knew a few of them, for example, Mr. Ma’s old friend, master winemaker Mao Ming. They were all big shots.

“Chairman Zhou is really good at inviting people. These people have tasted the monkey wine and are now famous in the country.” Yuan Zhou thought to himself.

At this time, the hall was almost ready. A simple and crude banner “monkey wine tasting conference” was hung on the podium, and the meaning was so simple and clear.

Then, a long table was specially placed on each side of the table, covered with a light blue tablecloth and plates of simple snacks, all of which were snacks used to go with the wine. They were also prepared by Yuan Zhou earlier and were specially brought by Zhong Lili from master chef Restaurant in the morning.

In Yuan Zhou’s words,”it’s fine if there’s good wine but no good dishes, but the dim sum must be prepared.”

There weren’t many desserts. Today’s main event was monkey wine, so there were eight plates of desserts on the table.

The other tables and chairs had been removed, and the floor was covered with a thick red carpet. Although there were no balloons hanging around, it was cleaned up very neatly. It looked simple, but it still took a lot of effort.

“Little Yuan, it’s starting soon. Have you brought the wine?” Zhou Shijie asked.

“They’re there. They’re ready. I’ve asked Secretary Zhong to prepare the wine glasses.” Yuan Zhou pointed at the big wine jar in the corner that seemed to have no presence.

Secretary Zhong had already placed the wine glasses on the long table. Zhou Shijie took a look and saw that it was a green wine glass. It seemed to be quite big, probably around two taels.

“Little Yuan, you’re too generous. In fact, 50 grams of water is already enough.” Zhou Shijie felt his heart ache.

Although the wine wasn’t his, it was Yuan Zhou ‘s. As for wine tasting, 50 grams was just right, but 200 grams was definitely too much.

“I say, Chairman Zhou, you don’t do anything important every day. You only know how to be stingy.”

A tall and strong old man wearing a Black Tang suit walked over. Judging from his age, he should be about the same as Zhou Shijie. However, he was in a good mental state and his face was glowing. One look and one could tell that he was in good health.

Probably because he was very dissatisfied with Zhou Shijie’s words, the corners of his mouth drooped down, making him look a little serious.”Head chef Yuan’s tolerance is not something you can compare with. You can use 50 grams of wine to wash the cat’s face.”

After saying that, he even gave Zhou Shijie a sidelong glance. Then, he turned around and revealed a kind smile as he said to Yuan Zhou,””Head chef Yuan, it’s an honor to meet you. I’m Zhu Dakang, the chief brew of the spring blade main factory.” While saying that, he even reached out his hand and wanted to shake hands with Yuan Zhou.

The chief brew was actually the technical Director who controlled the ratios of all the distilleries and the person in charge of research and development. However, many of the older generation didn’t like the title of director and called themselves the chief brew.

Seeing that, Yuan Zhou immediately reached out his hand to shake hands with him and then said,””Chief Zhu, you’re too polite. Just call me little Yuan.”
