Actually, it wasn’t much. At most, Yuan Zhou would ask Alessandro if he needed any help to prepare the ingredients and if there were any special requirements.

As the host, Yuan Zhou felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to prepare everything for the exchange.

It could be said that after Alessandro said that he only needed a few special spices, the others were free to do as they pleased because there were no special requirements.

The reason why Alessandro was so casual was that he had been making sausages for so many years. If he were to prepare the ingredients that he was used to, he would definitely be bullying Yuan Zhou. He had already decided to let the other party prepare the ingredients.

You’re very brave.

After the discussion, Alessandro and Barry tactfully took their leave. They left Taoxi road directly in order to preserve their energy for tomorrow’s exchange. This was a form of respect for themselves and Yuan Zhou. Alessandro was well aware of this.

“It seems that I will have to trouble head chef Li Li tomorrow.” Yuan Zhou muttered.

Alessandro was an Italian, so he was definitely more used to using the western style kitchen stove and utensils. The most recent one was definitely Li Li’s Western restaurant. Moreover, Li Li was also an old acquaintance of his. Although Yuan Zhou still felt that the previous incident of the memorial tablet was a little unclear, he could only find Alessandro.

Yuan Zhou immediately went out to the Western restaurant and explained the situation to Li Li. Li Li did his best to take the responsibility of preparing the ingredients and then he handed it to him. After all, Yuan Zhou didn’t want to prepare the ingredients himself. He wanted to hand it to Cheng zhaomei.

Since Li Li was so sincere, Yuan Zhou didn’t feel it was right to refute him. Therefore, he left the matter to Li Li. There were a lot of Western condiments and ingredients in the preparation, which was also a field that Li Li was very familiar with.

…

After he returned to the restaurant, Yuan Zhou didn’t busy himself with other things first. Instead, he called Cheng zhaomei.

“Zhao Mei, I’m going to have an exchange with the Italy sausage master tomorrow. You can come and take a look.” Yuan Zhou said directly.

He remembered that in the past two years, Cheng zhaomei had often made some bacon sausages and sold them in the store as a benefit. The taste was not bad, but there was still room for improvement. Tomorrow would be a good opportunity to see.

“Okay, master, but Junior Brother Huang is also with me. Do you need to call him tomorrow?” Cheng zhaomei immediately agreed.

It was also a coincidence that Huang Gang came personally to represent the Cantonese cuisine Association and planned to hold a joint Sichuan-Guangdong food exhibition with the Sichuan cuisine Association. In order to show his sincerity and respect for Cheng zhaomei, the eldest senior brother, Huang Gang had come in person and arrived yesterday.

With such a good opportunity, as the eldest senior brother, he must definitely seek benefits for his junior brothers and sisters.

Yuan Zhou didn’t know that Huang Gang was here, but after hearing Cheng zhaomei’s words, he thought of the other two registered disciples of Sichuan cuisine, Cao zhishu and Zhang He.

Compared to the registered disciples of the other cuisines, Cao zhishu and Zhang He had a relatively low presence. The main reason was that these two people were very low-key. They had always been in a state of studying and rarely expressed their opinions. Of course, their cooking skills had also improved very quickly.

Ever since Cao zhishu became Yuan Zhou’s in-name disciple, the popularity of his Shu restaurant had started to soar. It was definitely the most famous restaurant in Chengdu apart from Cheng zhaomei’s Cheng family restaurant. It was much more popular than the restaurants of Liu Li and Huang Fei.

This definitely had something to do with Yuan Zhou’s fame, but one could also see that Cao zhishu’s culinary skills had definitely improved. After all, if his culinary skills were not good enough, the customers would pay the bill once or twice, but not three or four times. After all, no one was a fool.

As for Zhang He, although he still had the title of the little king of Sichuan cuisine, it could not be helped. The king of Sichuan cuisine had already been taken away by the eldest brother, but the weight of this title was naturally not the same.

This evaluation naturally excluded master chef Restaurant. Otherwise, there would be no way to compare. In front of it, who had the right to say that their restaurant had more people? it was like lighting a lantern in the toilet.

Of course, even though the two of them kept a low profile, it didn’t mean that Yuan Zhou had forgotten that he had two in-name disciples of Sichuan cuisine. It was just that Cheng zhaomei was always around in Sichuan cuisine. If there was anything, he would just let Cheng zhaomei pass the message. He rarely called Cao zhishu and Zhang He over, but he had never stopped teaching.

“Then call Zhang He and Cao zhishu over. That would be even better.” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and then said.

He had previously mentioned to Alessandro that he might arrange for some of his apprentices to come and take a look. Of course, he made sure that they would not disturb their communication. After getting permission, he called Cheng zhaomei.

“Alright, master understands.” Cheng zhaomei said.

After that, he hung up the phone and started to notify Junior Brother Huang and the others.

After Yuan Zhou hung up the phone, he recalled all the information about the sausages of various cuisines. Although it was actually unnecessary for him to do so with his culinary skills, he still respected the other party by mastering the comprehensive information no matter if it was a competition or an exchange.

No matter if it was before his craftsmanship wasn’t that good or now when his craftsmanship was already quite good, Yuan Zhou had always been cooking as usual.

Time passed quickly, and the next day arrived early.

As the appointment was in the afternoon, Yuan Zhou still operated the restaurant very seriously during both breakfast and lunch time, no different from usual.

Alessandro and the others also got up early in the morning to make some preparations after being wrapped up in their quilts.

At noon, after having a sumptuous Western-style lunch, the two of them left for Taoxi road in advance. They were afraid that the previous situation would happen again, such as a traffic jam or people. It would be extremely impolite if they missed the agreed time.

They left early, and when they arrived at the entrance of the store, they had to wait for a while before the opening hours ended.

“Mr. Alessandro, you’re early. Sorry to keep you waiting.” Yuan Zhou greeted him with a smile.

“No, no. Head chef Yuan, you’ve worked hard.” Alessandro said.

Although he felt that Yuan Zhou still needed to do business even though the competition was about to begin, he didn’t quite agree with it. He didn’t know if it was because of his extreme confidence or something else.

Alessandro believed that one should focus on something in order to achieve better results. Just like his sausage-making, he had insisted on making it purely by hand for decades to achieve his current achievements.

However, this was Yuan Zhou’s business. Although Alessandro didn’t agree with him, he still respected him.

Next, Yuan Zhou introduced Cheng zhaomei and the other disciples who had arrived early next to him and asked them to greet Alessandro, which made Alessandro envious.

Looking at the spirited looks of Cheng zhaomei and the others, he thought of how he hadn’t found a favorite disciple to pass on his craftsmanship to even though he was already over 60 years old. However, Yuan Zhou already had four disciples at such a young age, which was really something that made people envious.

Even if Alessandro was very confident in his sausage-making skills, he wouldn’t deny Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills. After all, no matter how ignorant he was, it was impossible that he didn’t know what the Golden Chef award of the bogus cooking competition meant. Moreover, he had seen many things.
