Chapter 96: Invitation from the beloved
(One chapter was reviewed last night for unknown reasons and came out half an hour late. Please be patient when encountering this situation. This is an extraordinary period.)
When leaving Fengqi Village, Grandpa Zhu was actually strong enough to go out of the village to see him off. Zhou Dong opened the car window and waved goodbye to the rear when he heard the old man's angry cry: "Master Zhou, it's agreed.
I’ll bring your parents next time! Fengqishan welcomes them!”
Zhou Dong has said it many times, Grandpa, please never call me 'Master Zhou'. I can't bear such a call. But the old man won't do it? He said that I don't love anything in my life, just love.
Have something to eat and drink. Masters who are good at their craftsmanship are all called 'masters' here. Who dares to object?
Who dares to be dissatisfied with these words? At your age, you are the grandfather of the entire Fengqi Mountain...
Fengqishan and his party have gained a lot. Li Xiuchen has already promised that before the lotus roots come down in autumn, Fengqi Village will ensure the supply of fresh white lotus roots for breakfast. In addition, the good living environment in Fengqi Village also makes Zhou Dong very satisfied.
The climate is mild, the villagers are simple, and with Dr. Liu and his expert team here, medical care is guaranteed. This is simply a retirement and leisure place tailor-made for parents.
Even if the two elders have no idea of relocating yet, they can first formulate a three-year and five-year plan. Nowadays, if they want to rent a piece of land in the countryside for a long time and then build a residence, I am afraid it will cost a few hundred thousand. It seems
Time to think of ways to make more money?
Zhou Dong didn't want to use his parents' pension money.
When it comes to making money, Zhou Dong has somewhat inherited his father's character. He is unhurried and principled, and is determined not to be a slave to money. However, although this philosopher-like idea is good, he is often stumped by 'a penny'.
However, Zhou Dong doesn't want to become a profit-seeking person now, otherwise, what's the difference between it and a money-making machine? This may be the reason why he priced the lotus root fat jade porridge at 80.
This matter has almost become a worry for Mr. Huai Liang. He has been nagging Zhou Dong since he got in the car. It is nothing more than instilling some "pride of a top chef", "a gentleman should not insult himself", "nobility is also needed in food" and so on.
Petty bourgeois ideas that are thousands of miles away from the masses of the people.
Mr. Huailiang is very persistent in his belief that since Zhou Dong is a top chef like himself, he should have a medal, and he should "shine not snow but blood" in front of nobles. He should have such a strong character!
You are so low-key, selling things at civilian prices all day long, brother, how should I deal with myself?
Zhou Dong thinks that this guy should be sent to a mental hospital. He is crazy! Food should always belong to the people and should be affordable to most people. Otherwise, you will be like a fairy.
Is it necessary for taste to exist apart from the masses?
This is where 'Pigu' has decided to stand, and in the end it can only trigger a 'succession struggle' in the culinary world. Huai Liangren's perseverance made Zhou Dong even a little irritated. If this guy doesn't stay well in France, it will be fine.
Why do you keep bothering me?
After returning to Jiuzhou Dingshi, Shen Cheng took Zhou Dong and escaped from Chef Huai. Chef Lu couldn't afford to offend the judge, so he could always hide, right? He lowered his voice and said to Zhou Dong: "Master Zhou, just watch.
For my uncle's sake, don't be the same as that guy. The exact news I just got is that the judging committee will come to our Jiuzhou Dingshi in a week, and that guy is really one of the judges..."
"Zhou Dong, I will come to taste your lotus root fat jade porridge tomorrow. Considering that we are already friends, can I not wait in line tomorrow..."
"cannot."
"Okay then, but you must agree to one of my requests."
Huailiang frowned and looked at Shen Cheng, who was standing next to Zhou Dong: "I hope you can take some time to taste my cooking. I will cook for you in the French restaurant in Chudu!"
"Why do you want me to eat your cooking?"
Zhou Dong was a little surprised: "You said you wouldn't cook for others easily, and before coming to China, you rejected a vice president of a multinational company, even though he offered you a high price of 50,000 euros."
"Because opponents are rare. You can also understand this as a way for me to pursue balance...
I just received a notice from the review committee that the review process for your Jiuzhou Dingshi will begin in a week. I am one of the reviewers.
Since you are from Lu Chu, you are naturally the subject of my review, but I don’t think I may be qualified to be your judge. So before that, I hope you can taste the food I cook. , I won’t feel ashamed because of this..."
It was really unacceptable that this guy suddenly became so humble. Zhou Dong shook his head and said, "I'm just an intern and I won't participate in the review."
"No, in my eyes you represent the highest level of Jiuzhou Dingshi Lu Chu. If you had not participated in the review, I would have raised an objection to the review committee and determined that Jiuzhou Ding Shi Lu Chu was in contempt of the review committee."
After saying this, Huai Liang turned around and left, saying something from a distance: "I will set a time and welcome you in the best condition. Please rest assured that the delicious food I cook will not disappoint you. My friend!"
"Master Xiao Zhou, this is intolerable!"
Shen Cheng secretly rejoiced when he heard this, and said in a very dog-like way: "Don't say it's you, even I can't bear it! This guy actually dares to threaten you? If you ask me, you will show your hands to me on the day of the review. He looked at it and stunned the judging panel!
In fact, there are not many outsiders on the review committee. Mr. Huang, Mr. Lu, and Mr. Yi are all your customers. The impression points alone will be increased a lot.
As for the identity issue, it’s not a problem. What’s wrong with the intern? Our Lu Kitchen has always used talents in an eclectic way, and what we pay attention to is meritocracy. This is what my uncle said. The position of the head stove is not yours. Is it a matter of one sentence?"
Although I have never seen Zhou Dong's cooking, is there any need to see it? With his master-level knife skills and various delicacies that made the "Big Three" praise them as soon as they were launched, Zhou Dong's strength is simply beyond compare. No doubt!
Especially after seeing the 'Blue Lotus Root Jade Porridge', Shen Cheng was convinced of Zhou Dong without any hesitation.
This is a culinary genius! Chef Lu is now Jiuzhou Dingshi’s biggest worry. As the biggest variable in this judging event, whether it will get better or worse depends on whether we can grasp this ‘Master Xiao Zhou’ Already.
This is the view shared by him and his uncle Shen Gongdao.
Zhou Dong glanced at him lightly: "It's time for me to go to the chopping board. I didn't cut vegetables yesterday and my hands were itchy."
The itchy hands are fake. There are still 200 skill points left for the professional-level knife skill to be upgraded. Can Zhou Dong not be anxious? This skill is different from the vegetable washing skill. If the vegetable washing skill is the foundation of a chef, Knife skills represent real improvement.
"Ding!"
With a familiar system prompt, the knife skills in the system panel have changed: Master-level knife skills: 15/3000.
‘Congratulations to the host, your knife skills have been upgraded to the master level! From now on, you can truly enter the palace and be one step closer to becoming the world’s only god of cooking.
At the same time, because knife skill is one of the "central skills" of all chefs, whether it is red case, white case, or even lotus, it is closely connected with knife skill. Therefore, after the host upgrades to master-level knife skill, he will get very precious Random tasks.
After the task is completed, the host will receive generous rewards. Tips, the rewards must be basic skills!
Host, please choose ‘Red Case Random’ or ‘White Case Random’ first.’
"You can actually choose the scope of this random mission? It seems to be the first time."
Zhou Dong thought for a while and said: "Then let's just do it randomly..."
