For a moment, apart from the faint sounds of voices, the only sound in the small courtyard was that of Representative Li and his secretary drinking tea.
Even though the secretary was silent, he drank tea not much slower than Representative Li. He finished the cup in a short time, and the water was just as good as it was.
Representative Li and his secretary did not leave until the tea in the teapot was relatively weak.
Yuanzhou didn't know whether he should be thankful that Representative Li and the others came at last minute and didn't have time to prepare refreshments. Otherwise, he would probably have to wait until lunch time before leaving, and then he would probably not be able to save the one or two Mingqian tea he had left.
Secretly glad that he had saved his tea, Yuanzhou saw that it was getting late and decided to go to the kitchen to familiarize himself with the new dishes. However, Representative Li and his secretary did not leave immediately after they left.
This is the first time Representative Li has come to Chef God Shop. He has eaten food made by Yuan Zhou at exchange meetings and when the Singaporean mission came, but this is his first time coming to the store. To be honest, he is really too busy. Yes, it is said that you have to line up in advance and cannot make a reservation. There is really no way to eat.
This time, it was the right time, the right place, the right people, and this was due to official business, so it was just right.
"Representative, what's wrong?" The secretary was confused and stopped.
Representative Li paused and said, "Xiao Wu, you have been following me for several years. Today I will treat you to a meal at Chef Yuan's place. You can order whatever you want within two dishes."
Secretary Xiao Wu: "..."
Whether these two dishes are one dish or two dishes is a matter of opinion. He was moved and couldn't say anything at the moment.
Although Xiao Wu has never eaten here, he knows that the prices of the dishes here are very expensive. Although the price/performance ratio is very high, it is not easy for Representative Li to treat guests.
"Two dishes?" Xiao Wu asked.
This needs to be confirmed. The quantity is related to the feeling of pleasure when eating. It feels different if you eat one dish or two dishes together.
Representative Li was silent, feeling a little pain in his wallet, but after looking at Xiao Wu, who was 1.8 meters tall, he still nodded and said, "Yes, two dishes."
The smile on Xiao Wu's face was visible to the naked eye. He couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that he could eat two dishes. It was a dish made by a chef that could be exhibited by the country. Even if he had never eaten it, he felt very happy. Looking forward to it.
"Thank you, representative." Xiao Wu said politely.
"Let's wait and wait in line. It seems that the time has not come yet."
Representative Li looked at his watch and then at the door of the store where no one was queuing up. He guessed that the time had not come yet. He had arranged a whole morning to do Yuan Zhou's work today. It was still early enough to have lunch before going. Busy with other things.
Xiao Wu nodded and followed the representative to stand under the eaves and wait for the time. He was already thinking about what dishes to order later.
"What kind of dishes are there at Chef Yuan's place? There should be Sichuan cuisine, but I don't know if there are any dishes from my hometown?"
Xiao Wu is from Shanghai Province and has traveled to several places with Representative Li, so his taste is relatively popular, but he still has a close affinity for hometown dishes.
As for what Representative Li is thinking about, he is naturally thinking about what to order. Thinking about it first and ordering directly later can save time. He always does things concisely and clearly, and eating is no exception.
Unlike Xiao Wu, who is from other provinces, Representative Li is an out-and-out native of Sichuan Province. Because of his work, he has worked outside for the past ten years and has stayed in cities in several provinces for many years. Transferred back to Chengdu.
This also has something to do with Yuan Zhou, otherwise Representative Li would not think so highly of Yuan Zhou. His first major promotion was at the Asia-Pacific Exchange Conference. At that time, it was a coincidence that he wanted to promote a famous chef in his hometown. Together with Zhou Shijie's role, Yuan Zhou's original fame and so on.
The success of something is definitely not just the result of one person, nor can it be achieved casually.
Representative Li has longed for the authentic Sichuan cuisine made by Yuanzhou for a long time. Now I finally have the opportunity to eat it. I have to order a few dishes.
The time passed by as the two of them thought about it tacitly, and soon Wuhai and Mao Xiong rushed towards the door of the store as they slid down the slide.
If Representative Li hadn't been shrewd enough to seize the opportunity quickly and pull Xiao Wu over, it is estimated that Xiao Wu's position would have been at least ten people behind Representative Li. Originally, they had a geographical advantage and could almost be ranked at the top. The position was at ten, but because Xiao Wu dragged himself back a little, he was directly queued to the end of the first echelon.
Of course, the two newcomers didn't know how many people the shop could seat at one time, so Xiao Wu felt very guilty. It would be bad if it delayed Representative Li's time.
"Representative, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." Xiao Wu's mind was filled with apologies, and he didn't even think about food for the time being.
"It's okay. There are already a lot of people here, Chef Yuan, but I didn't expect the queue to be so intense, and I don't blame you." Representative Li waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
Xiao Wu nodded and didn't say much, but he still alerted himself. As a secretary, you should keep an eye on all directions and listen to all directions, and always pay attention. This time it was indeed a mistake, and it makes you unhappy just thinking about it.
When the business hours started and the two of them were among the first to enter the store together, Xiao Wu felt relieved.
This way you won't waste time, which is the most important thing.
Yuanzhou stood at the partition waiting for the first menu. When Representative Li nodded to him, he took his secretary to the end of the bar. He also nodded to him to say hello.
Yuan Zhou didn't pay much attention to Representative Li's intention to have lunch instead of going back. After all, almost everyone who came to him, whether they were chefs or people of any status, would stay for dinner as long as there was no urgent matter. They were all gay, so it was not strange. Weird.
When Su Ruoyan's order came to Representative Li, Representative Li was the first to order: "One portion of bean sprouts, one portion of scrambled eggs with Houttuynia cordata, and one portion of divine egg fried rice."
You must have the signature divine egg fried rice when you come to the store. After all, this is the egg fried rice that is famous along with the store. It would be a shame not to eat it.
"Xiao Wu, please order too." Representative Li greeted his secretary after ordering.
Xiao Wu nodded to show that he understood, and then said directly: "One portion of farmhouse incense, one portion of Youxian dried incense, and one portion of white rice."
Xiao Wu ordered from Representative Li's previous workplace. He missed the meal when he went to work, so he had to rely on fellow villagers to serve the food. I don't know if he was hungry at the time or something, but it felt very delicious. Not only did Li The representative liked it very much. Even he thought he could eat it again. It was really delicious.
"Xiao Wu still remembers the two dishes we had before. I believe the ones made by Chef Yuan will be better." Representative Li said after Su Ruoyan left.
He also remembered the allusions to these two dishes.
"I just wanted to try it again. I had eaten three bowls of rice at that time. It was absolutely delicious. I don't know what it tasted like when it was made by Chef Yuan." Xiao Wu said.
After Xiao Wu said this, Representative Li wanted to add these two dishes, but after thinking about it, he decided to just try some of Xiao Wu's dishes then. He still wanted to eat the two dishes he ordered. Tao Sichuan cuisine.
