Chapter 394: Grand Disciple Ceremony
Translator: Xiong_Guoqi Editor: DesTheSloth
Wu Zhou took Martin to the neighboring western restaurant for lunch, with which Martin was very satisfied. After all, Li Li’s culinary skills were extraordinarily wonderful.
"Surprisingly, I can even eat such an authentic steak over here. It’s sooo good. Thank you, Zhou," Martin said with satisfaction.
"Thank you for your recognition." Before Wu Zhou could say anything, the waitress beside them smiled and said.
"Actually, the Swedish atballs or White Wine Mussels cooked in that restaurant are also all top-notch delicacies. Of course, there’s also the Roasted Pork. These are also foreign dishes." Wu Zhou said without a trace.
"But I don’t believe that." Martin shrugged.
"Ok. It’s ti to go. Have you finished?" Wu Zhou didn’t insist, but turned to ask him.
"Ok. Let’s go." Martin nodded his head.
"Di Di Da Da, Di Di Da Da"
A sound of trumpets and the drums being played ca to their ears.
"It’s so boisterous today. Zhou, is it a festival today?" Martin pointed at the line outside that acted as if they were to welco the bride of a wedding and asked.
"No, it shouldn’t be." Even Wu Zhou hesitated slightly.
The procession in front of them was, surprisingly, a team performing the dragon and lion dance, which appeared mighty and domineering.
"Let’s have a look. It looks fairly interesting." Martin got very excited upon seeing that. He took out his phone and prepared to take pictures.
"Ok." Wu Zhou was quite interested in the procession that stayed at the door of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant. Hearing that, he agreed to stay and watch conveniently.
"Boss Yuan, Master Yuan. Could you please co out for a mont?" The one standing in the front of the procession was obviously Master Cheng that had been refused half a month ago.
When Master Cheng specially ca for a visit at that ti, he was refused flatly by Yuan Zhou. When he wanted to have a al there, he was told that he had to line up. After he lined up helplessly and then finished the al, he made up his mind to try again.
What a joke! The dishes of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant were even tastier than those cooked in the contest. The craftsmanship and ingredients were simply what all chefs longed for. If only he succeeded in taking him as his teacher, he could use such ingredients to practice his craft.
"What a sin! I should practice with so inferior ones and formally cook only with Boss Yuan’s ingredients. How wonderful it would be!" Master Cheng muttered inwardly.
Then, he made up his mind and ca over here instantly.
"My restaurant will be open for business in five minutes. Could you please make so room for my custors?" Yuan Zhou didn’t intend to co out to watch when he heard the ruckus. But when he heard Master Cheng’s words, he was unable to bear it and thus ca out of the door solemnly.
"Listen to Master Yuan. Everybody, please step aside and make so room for Boss Yuan." Master Cheng turned his head and said imdiately.
"If you co to have als, you’ll receive an extrely cordial welco. If it’s about other things, there is no need to speak." Seeing them step aside, Yuan Zhou imdiately said that.
"Master Yuan, please look at this." Master Cheng handed his legible letter to Yuan Zhou.
Master Cheng appeared much older than Yuan Zhou, about 30 years old, but he respected Yuan Zhou very much.
"Thank you. But what I told you last ti remains the sa this ti and I don’t want to say it again." Yuan Zhou said indifferently without any other mood.
Of course, he was actually quite happy inwardly. Being respected in this way was both about prestige and affirmation of his culinary skills.
However, Yuan Zhou didn’t really think his craftsmanship was good enough to receive any disciples.
He would rather receive a girl to be his apprentice than a man. As the old saying goes, n and won wouldn’t feel tired if they worked together.
"Boss Yuan, could you please check it?" Master Cheng had made up his mind this ti, thus he carried the letter persistently.
"Even if I check it, it won’t change the result. Besides, we are all chefs." Yuan Zhou received the letter.
"Since you are more capable than , you are my teacher even though I have been working as a chef for a longer ti." Master Cheng said cleanly.
Yuan Zhou didn’t answer him but instead, opened the letter in public.
"Head chef, do you think that young boss will agree?" There was a manner of great interest shown on the face of the chief chef.
"No, he won’t. That guy is much too prideful." Li Li said affirmatively.
"He’s indeed much too arrogant. He doesn’t even respect us." The chief chef humphed and agreed to the comnts given by Li Li.
However, what Li Li intended to say was contrary to the word "arrogant" ntioned by the chief chef.
"Boss Yuan is so aweso! Soone even ca to pay their respects to him as his teacher." Seeing the ruckus, a custor also said proudly.
"Of course. Boss Yuan’s craftsmanship is needless to say." Others echoed and complinted.
"This person has been here once, but he was refused by Boss Yuan last ti." Another custor said mysteriously.
"Really? Why didn’t I know that?" Other custors surrounded the one that seed to know more and asked him curiously.
"It was more than ten days ago. This person is said to be so sort of certified master, the kind that is originally quite aweso." A custor pointed at Master Cheng and said.
"Still not so aweso as Boss Yuan." Other custors said one after another.
"Of course I know he’s not as aweso as Boss Yuan. Otherwise, how is it possible for him to co here and pay his respects to Yuan Zhou as his teacher?" It was still the sa custor.
"Let tell you..." This custor started to describe the matter of paying respects to Yuan Zhou last ti.
Having watched the scene, Martin and Wu Zhou were also talking over that.
"What does that man an?" Martin pointed at the letter being held by Master Cheng and asked.
"That person wanted to pay his respects to Boss Yuan as his teacher, but he was refused." While Wu Zhou was speaking of that, there was a prideful feeling in his tone.
Just like those custors, it was a sort of acknowledgnt when one’s favorite thing was also liked by others.
"Why did he refuse that person?" Martin asked with puzzlent.
"Because Boss Yuan is a low-profile and modest man." Wu Zhou said earnestly.
"Maybe." Martin shrugged. Yuan Zhou didn’t leave him a good impression.
However, he liked watching the situation very much.
The letter was written with the writing brush and was naturally about his desire to be taken as a disciple. Nevertheless, the signature was Zhou Shijie, the chairman of the China Chefs’ Alliance.
"I really have nothing to teach you." Yuan Zhou received the letter and said earnestly while looking at Master Cheng.
Master Cheng didn’t give up. On second thought, he said straightforwardly, "I can follow you and even do so chores."
"You can follow , but you can’t get into my kitchen." Yuan Zhou said directly.
"Although I can’t cook as well as Boss Yuan, the preparatory work is nevertheless... Ok, no problem." Master Cheng had prepared to say he could do the preparatory work. Then, he thought of the traumatic experience of being slapped in the face and hence stopped saying more and then accepted that.
"That way, I’m not your teacher, so you don’t need to call teacher, either. And you still need to line up if you want to eat here." Yuan Zhou pointed at the line over there and said.
"Alright. Don’t worry, Master Yuan." Master Cheng was satisfied with the result that he could follow him at any ti.
Otherwise, he would have no justification to co here every day to watch Yuan Zhou cook, which would sound as if he was stealing sothing. Master Cheng indicated that he was also a prideful master.
Soti, Yuan Zhou would doubt if he and the system had any thoughts in common. For example, the situation now.
Yuan Zhou had been unsatisfied with his current culinary skills ever since he cooked the Vegetable Stir-fried With Mushrooms. Yet, just now, the system gave him a new and interesting mission again.
