Chapter 2234 Returning to China
Not only the Chinese chefs received guidance from top French chefs, but the chefs in France who participated in the exchange also received a lot of guidance.
Those who can communicate with Zhou Shijie are not unknown people. Just like the top French chefs don’t know Chinese cuisine, many of them don’t know French food, but their cooking skills do have similarities. Many of the suggestions given are very considerate. Be realistic.
"This Sino-French food exchange meeting was more successful than imagined."
"In fact, I think such exchanges can be held every year. It is beneficial to promote the food culture of the two countries."
August had a smile on his face, and it was no wonder that he was proud of it. He, Manfred, and Gauss had facilitated the exchange meeting in the first place. Of course, there was no selfish intention.
The original idea was to use Yuan Zhou's almost invincible cooking skills to give some excitement to the French food industry.
Now this goal has not only been exceeded, but also the Chinese chefs who came to exchange have really gained a lot from each other.
"In terms of culinary skills, every country has its own glory, and China is particularly brilliant." Gauss said.
Zhou Shijie didn't say anything about this. No matter how glorious it was in the past, someone had to bring it out. If it weren't for Yuan Zhou, there's no telling how long it would take for this kind of glory to bloom at the Bocuse d'Or.
"It can be held in China next year. It would be better to hold it in another place." Zhou Shijie said.
With Yuan Zhou, Cheng Zhaomei, and many excellent chefs, Zhou Shijie spoke with a straight back. Without him, he was full of confidence.
"This is very good. Julian and the others really want to visit Yuan's store." August said.
"You can indeed go out and see more." Juman Li also agreed.
"What about your plan to go to North America in the second half of the year?" August asked subconsciously.
"I disagree. There is nothing delicious in North America. North America is not worth going to. There is something in South America." Juman Li answered without thinking.
The reason why there is something in South America is because Argentina is in South America, and Juman Li knows a famous Argentinian chef.
August showed a resolute expression, he still had the same attitude, he was tolerant and so on, it was absolutely impossible to show up without blinding Juman Li.
“It’s okay to go to Huaxia twice more.
"Juman Li added.
Manfred and Gauss are naturally very willing. They all feel that China is really full of outstanding people. There is an unparalleled Yuanzhou, and the chefs who come to exchange today are also very good at cooking.
Even though some of them are indeed not used to eating, it does not prevent him from thinking that the taste is quite good, and the taste is rich and the cuisine is diverse, which makes people feel eye-opening.
So in the following time, the two parties discussed some details of the future Sino-French exchange meeting. Of course, the big guys above were discussing issues, and the chefs participating below were not idle either.
Everyone gathered together in twos and threes and started communicating with some fluent and some broken English. Not to mention it was quite harmonious.
Time passed quickly while everyone was communicating, and it was already evening by the time Yuan Zhou took Cheng Zhaomei back to the hotel.
"Zhao Mei, have you packed your things?" Yuan Zhou didn't bring many things with him, and he had already packed them when he set out early in the morning.
Cheng Zhaomei had also cleaned up before, so she said very relaxedly at this moment: "Master, I have already cleaned up."
"Have you told your junior brothers and sisters to let them go back with President Zhou instead of rushing with us?" Yuan Zhou said.
Yuanzhou planned to rush back overnight. Maybe he could open for dinner tomorrow. To be honest, he had been away for several days and he missed the excitement of Taoxi Road.
"It's been agreed and arranged." Cheng Zhaomei nodded.
"Then let's set off." Yuan Zhou said and turned around and walked towards the door.
Cheng Zhaomei had already taken the suitcase in his hand, one on each side, and an extra small bag. These were some spices given to Yuan Zhou by the French chef. A little for each person would make a big bag.
If it weren’t for the trouble of getting out of customs, everyone would probably have given away more.
The plane ticket had been purchased a long time ago, because he didn't know if he could make it back, so Yuanzhou reserved free time tomorrow.
There is no direct flight, so you need to transfer. The time is difficult to grasp. Even Yuan Zhou cannot calculate how much time it will take.
[Xiaoya, I'm going back first. You should take a rest while working. Don't be too tired. I'll prepare delicious food for you when I get back. ] Yuanzhou sat on the plane and reported the itinerary to Yin Ya again before the plane took off.
[I understand, Mu Mu, please pay more attention on the road. Go back and have a good rest before opening the store. Don't be anxious and pay more attention to rest. ] Although she knew that Yuan Zhou was a diligent and self-disciplined person, Yin Ya still hoped that he could get more rest.
[Don’t worry, Xiaoya. ] Yuanzhou's concern for Yin Ya is still very useful.
Without waiting for the flight attendant to remind him, Yuan Zhou hurriedly said goodbye to Yin Ya and turned off his mobile phone. The plane was about to take off.
"I wonder how many more days Uncle Zhou and the others plan to stay?" Yuan Zhou muttered.
After today's exchange dinner, Zhou Shijie told Yuan Zhou that people from their exchange group wanted to stay and inspect the catering situation in France again to accumulate some information for next year's exchange meeting.
You must know that August and the others also spent a lot of time in Chengdu in order to hold the first exchange meeting, just to inspect some Chinese food conditions. Of course, not everything requires the president's personal participation, but it just happened to happen. That’s all.
"Boom, boom, boom"
The plane roared and the fuselage trembled. After a while, it glided out. After gathering enough strength, it flew towards the sky.
At this time, the night sky in Lyon was filled with bright stars, and there were thousands of lights underneath. Although the shadows could not be seen very clearly, looking at them made people feel good.
Yuan Zhou looked at the night scene, took a deep breath, put on his eye mask and planned to take a rest. Now he could finally relax. Even Yuan Zhou felt a lot more relaxed.
With Yuanzhou's strength, there is really no need to be too nervous, but after all, he represents a country. Now that everything has settled, Yuanzhou can naturally relax a little bit.
After the transfer, we were not far from Huaxia. When dawn replaced darkness and the sun filled the earth, Yuanzhou finally approached the sky of Chengdu. It was already ten o'clock in the morning.
After the plane landed, which was already an hour later, Yuan Zhou took Cheng Zhaomei out of the exit.
"Master, Yingzi has arrived. We should be able to see her when we go out." Cheng Zhaomei glanced at the message from Cheng Ying on her phone.
"We can just go back by ourselves. Why do we have to ask Xiaoying to run back and forth?" Yuan Zhou said.
"This is what we should do, master, please come here." Cheng Zhaomei said solemnly.
Obviously, he didn't think there was anything wrong with coming to pick up the master. As a disciple, Cheng Ying should run around more.
Yuan Zhou shook his head helplessly and followed Cheng Zhaomei towards the front.
"Congratulations, Master, for winning the Golden Chef Award and the Most Popular Dish Award. Congratulations." Cheng Ying held a large bouquet of red dahlias and was very happy.
With a proud smile on her face, Cheng Ying respectfully handed the flowers to Yuan Zhou to express her congratulations.
Dahlias mean congratulations on good luck and good fortune. Cheng Ying also put a lot of thought into choosing the flowers. As the first person to see Yuan Zhou who returned home with great honors, she naturally had to set an example.
