For a moment, the only sound in the small courtyard was the sound of representative li and his Secretary drinking tea.
Although the Secretary was quiet, she was not much slower than representative li when it came to drinking tea. She finished the cup of tea in a short while. The water was just like that.
It wasn’t until the tea in the teapot had become lighter that representative li and his Secretary left.
Yuan Zhou didn’t even know if he should feel lucky that representative li and the others came here at the last minute and didn’t have time to prepare the refreshments. Otherwise, they would probably have to wait until lunchtime before they could leave. Then, he would probably lose the remaining 50 grams of pre-Ming Tea.
Yuan Zhou was secretly glad that he managed to keep his tea. Seeing that it was getting late, he decided to go back to the kitchen to get familiar with the new dishes. However, representative li and his Secretary didn’t leave immediately after they left.
This was representative Li’s first time coming to the master chef Restaurant. He had tried Yuan Zhou’s dishes during the exchange meeting and when the Singapore delegation came. But it was his first time coming to the restaurant. To be honest, he was really too busy. It was said that he had to queue in advance and couldn’t make a reservation. Thus, he really couldn’t come here to eat.
This time, it was the right time, place, and people. This was official business, so it was just right.
“Representative, what’s the matter?” The Secretary was a little confused as to why he had stopped.
After a pause, representative Li said,”little Wu, you have been with me for many years. Let me treat you to a meal today. Let’s eat at head chef Yuan’s restaurant. You can order anything that is within two dishes.”
Secretary Xiao Wu was speechless.
Whether the two dishes were one dish or two dishes was a matter of opinion. He was touched but couldn’t say anything for a while.
Although little Wu had never eaten here before, he knew that the food here was very expensive. Although the price-performance ratio was high, it was not easy for representative li to treat him.
“Two dishes?” Xiao Wu asked.
This had to be confirmed. The quantity was related to the satisfaction when eating. It would feel different if they ate one dish or two dishes together.
Representative li was silent for a moment, feeling that his wallet was a little painful. However, after looking at little Wu’s 1.8-meter tall frame, he nodded and said,”Yes, two dishes.”
The smile on Xiao Wu’s face could be seen by the naked eye. He couldn’t help but be happy at the thought of being able to eat two dishes. These were dishes made by chefs that could be exhibited by the country. Even if he hadn’t tried them before, he was looking forward to them.
“Thank you, representative.” Little Wu said very politely.
“Let’s wait and line up. It doesn’t seem to be time yet. “
Representative li took a look at his watch and then at the entrance of the restaurant where no one was waiting in line. He estimated that the time wasn’t up yet. He had arranged the whole morning to deal with Yuan Zhou’s matter. Now it was still early, so he could have lunch before going to do other things.
Little Wu nodded and stood under the eaves with the representative to wait for the time to come. He was already thinking about what to order.
“Head chef Yuan, what are the dishes here? there should be some Sichuan dishes, right? I wonder if there are any dishes from my hometown?”
Little Wu was from Shanghai. He had followed representative li to several places, so the taste was still relatively common. However, he still felt a sense of familiarity with his hometown food.
As for what representative li was thinking about, he was naturally thinking about what to order. He would think about it first so that he could save time by directly ordering later. He had always been quick and concise in his work, and eating was no exception.
Unlike Xiao Wu, who was from another province, representative li was a native of Sichuan. Due to his work, he had been working in other provinces for the past ten years. He had only been transferred back to Chengdu recently.
This had something to do with Yuan Zhou. Otherwise, representative li wouldn’t have valued Yuan Zhou so much. His first substantial promotion was during the Asia-Pacific Exchange meeting. At that time, it was also a coincidence that he wanted to promote a famous chef from his hometown. In addition to Zhou Shijie’s influence, Yuan Zhou’s fame at that time was also combined.
The success of something was definitely not the credit of one person, and it was impossible to succeed just because one wanted to.
Representative li had been missing the authentic Sichuan cuisine cooked by Yuan Zhou for a long time. Now that he finally had the chance to eat it, he had to order a few dishes.
Time passed while the two of them were thinking tacitly. Soon, the curtain was drawn when Wu Hai and Mao Xiong slid down the slide ladder and rushed to the entrance of the restaurant.
If it weren’t for representative Li’s quick-witted reaction to pull little Wu, little Wu’s position would have been at least ten people lower than that of representative li ‘s. Originally, they had the geographical advantage and could almost be ranked in the top ten. However, because little Wu had dragged her back a little, she had been directly placed at the end of the first group.
Of course, the two newcomers didn’t know how many people could sit in the restaurant at a time. Therefore, Lil Wu felt very guilty. It wouldn’t be good if he delayed representative Li’s time.
“Representative, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.” Lil Wu’s mind was filled with regret, and he didn’t even think about the delicacies for the time being.
“It’s fine. Head chef Yuan, there are many people here. I didn’t expect the line to be so long. I can’t blame you.” Representative li waved his hand to show that he didn’t mind.
Xiao Wu nodded and didn’t say much, but she reminded herself that as a Secretary, she should be alert and always pay attention. This time, she had indeed made a mistake. It didn’t feel good to think about it.
When the opening hours started, the two of them could enter the store together in the first batch. Xiao Wu was finally relieved.
This way, he wouldn’t waste any time. That was the most important thing.
Yuan Zhou stood by the partition and waited for the first menu. When he saw representative li nod at him and then take his Secretary to sit at the end of the bar counter, he also nodded at him to greet him.
Yuan Zhou didn’t pay much attention to the fact that representative li planned to have lunch instead of going back. After all, almost everyone who came to see him, regardless of their status, would stay for lunch as long as they had nothing urgent to attend to. It was a basic principle and Yuan Zhou was used to it.
When it was su Ruoyan’s turn to order, representative li took the lead and ordered,””One plate of pork shoulder with bean paste, one plate of chameleon plant fried egg, and one plate of god tier egg fried rice.”
One had to have a signature god tier egg-fried rice to come to the restaurant. After all, this was the egg-fried rice that had become famous along with the restaurant. One would feel at a loss if they didn’t eat it.
“Little Wu, you should order as well.” After ordering, representative li even called out to his Secretary.
Little Wu nodded to show that she understood, then said,””One serving of agarwood, one bowl of incense, one you You County’s dried incense, and one serving of white rice,”
Little Wu had ordered from representative Li’s previous workplace. He had missed the meal time when he went down to work, so he could only ask for help from his fellow townsman. The dishes served by his fellow townsman were very delicious. He didn’t know if he was hungry or what, but he felt that it was very good. Not only did representative li like it very much, but he also felt that he could eat it again. It was indeed very delicious.
“Little Wu, do you still remember the two dishes we have eaten before? I believe head chef Yuan’s dishes will definitely be better.” Representative Li said after su Ruoyan left.
He also remembered the story of these two dishes.
“I just want to try it again. I ate three bowls of rice at that time. It will definitely go well with the dishes. I wonder what it will taste like if it’s cooked by head chef Yuan.” Little Wu said.
After hearing what little Wu said, representative li wanted to add these two dishes, but after thinking about it, he decided against it. It would be good if he could try some of little Wu’s dishes. He still wanted to try the two Sichuan dishes he had ordered.
