After waiting for two hours plus flight time and transfer, it was more than ten hours in total. Even though Yuan Zhou slept for a while on the plane, he still felt quite tired. That is to say, he was used to standing next to the stove. See He felt quite energetic when he woke up. In fact, Yuan Zhou took a deep breath while changing clothes and resting.
"Should we put the purchase of a plane on the agenda? It would be more convenient." Yuan Zhou closed his eyes and rested his mind, and his thoughts suddenly turned to an idea he had before.
Yuan Zhou had the idea of buying a plane a long time ago. As a future chef, he also needs to have a reputation, because at that time, he felt that buying a plane would not be used for a few times and felt it was a waste, so he did not think about it further.
Now is the time to imagine. The main reason is that every time you take a flight, you have to arrive at the airport in advance. If you don’t reserve enough time, you will definitely miss the plane. If you reserve enough time, it will delay the time to open the store. Especially international flights.
Ordinary people generally need to arrive at the airport three hours in advance. It takes a long time to collect tickets, check in luggage, and go through a series of customs procedures.
Even if Yuan Zhou has streamlined the process, even if he doesn't have to carry luggage and air tickets himself, and can board the plane as soon as he comes, it still doesn't save a lot of time.
Now I think it would be much more convenient if I had my own plane. After all, one only serves oneself, while the other serves the public. They are always different.
Now was not the time to think about these things. I drove out the chaotic thoughts in my mind and began to recall all kinds of news about the Ankara meeting in my mind.
As a representative of China participating in such a competition for the first time, Yuanzhou naturally wanted to do a perfect job. Not only did he not bring face to the country, but he also had to not embarrass the country. Of course, with Yuanzhou's current cooking skills This is definitely impossible, but it does not prevent Yuan Zhou from making full preparations.
No matter what happens, Yuanzhou likes to be prepared in advance so that he can deal with emergencies calmly. It is always good to be prepared for a rainy day.
Time naturally goes by faster when you have something to do, especially during the period, you also had breakfast delivered to the hotel room. I don’t know whether it was because of the hotel’s thoughtfulness or the organizing committee’s proper arrangements. What was delivered was Chinese breakfast, porridge and steamed buns. and boiled eggs.
As the Anapik Hotel has hosted Ankara conferences for a long time, its chefs are naturally top-notch. Although they are not qualified to participate in such top-level conferences, they are still very good, which is probably a bit worse than Paul. Of course, age and talent cannot be compared with Paul.
This chef doesn't usually do it himself. That is to say, today's guests are all experts, so he did it himself.
However, most of the Chinese meals made by this chef are similar in appearance but different in spirit. Although he is careful, he can tell at a glance that he learned them from online tutorials, but Yuan Zhou still finished them all. This is a sign of respect.
When there was still half an hour before the meeting started, Charles, a young man in his twenties who had picked up Yuan Zhou at the airport, came to take Yuan Zhou to the conference room.
Charles, who is in his twenties, is what he said himself. After all, even if Yuan Zhou has good eyesight, it is difficult to tell his actual age from his beard.
I don't know what's wrong with him, but he grew a beard at a young age, which means his eyes are big and bright enough, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see.
"Tap tap tap"
The shiny floor made a crisp sound when shoes hit him. Charles took Yuan Zhou out of the guest room, turned left and right, and arrived at a special elevator. According to Charles, this elevator was the only one in Ankara. It will only be activated during the meeting, even the conference room is the same, it is specially set up for the Ankara meeting.
Unlike his steady beard, Charles had the liveliness of a young man in his twenties. He kept talking to Yuan Zhou about various things along the way, talking about meetings, hotels, and the city of Ankara. In just a few short Within minutes of walking, there were no repeated topics, and we didn’t even have to breathe, which shows that our lung capacity is very large.
"Chef Yuan, please come this way, I can only deliver it here."
Charles pushed open a solemn wooden door with a creak and regretfully stopped talking. He felt that Yuan Zhou was a very good listener and would not refute him at all. It was really a pleasure to chat with him. Of course It would be perfect if he could answer a few more words.
Yuan Zhou said "thank you" with a straight face, then straightened his back and walked inside.
It was said to be a conference room. After Yuan Zhou entered it, he realized that it was indeed different from ordinary ones. It was customized for this highest-level chef meeting. When he entered the door, it was not a conference table or anything like that, but an empty small hall. It's not big, only about fifty or sixty square meters, except for some coffee tables and tables, there's nothing else.
But the area separated by the small hall has the characteristics of a chef's meeting. On the left is a row of high-end stoves, and on the right are rows of shelves, as well as sinks and other things, with various items on them. All the ingredients were fresh. Yuan Zhou knew at a glance that they must have been delivered just this morning. There was morning dew on the vegetables, which showed that they were of extraordinary quality.
Then there was nothing else, not even a human figure, but this did not bother Yuan Zhou. He looked carefully and walked towards the place where the ingredients were placed. When he turned a corner, he suddenly saw a door similar to the one he entered just now. , the only difference is that this door seems more refined.
There were two men in suits and leather jackets standing at the door, wearing white gloves and standing there with their backs straight, which looked very much the same.
Yuanzhou took out a dark gold invitation from his sleeve. This invitation was specially sent by Juman Li for the Ankara meeting. It adhered to the low-key principle of the Ankara meeting and was very low-key and luxurious.
"please!"
One of the tall ones took Yuan Zhou's invitation, looked at it and nodded. The shorter one opposite him immediately opened the door and made an invitation gesture towards Yuan Zhou.
The originally quiet space became noisy after opening the door, and various languages were thrown at him. The only ones Yuan Zhou could distinguish were English, French and Spanish, but not the others.
Various languages mingled together, high or low, and seemed excited or calm depending on the owner's mood. However, as Yuan Zhou stepped in, the sounds gradually became less.
As soon as Yuan Zhou entered, he took a quick look and saw that there were almost twenty people there. Most of them were white-haired and were at least seventy years old. Probably the youngest people there were his acquaintances August and Juman. Li them.
As far as Yuan Zhou knew, there were 58 people attending the meeting, and only about 20 people were present. He arrived neither early nor late, just right.
Although based on his cooking skills, even the last few who arrived there were still able to make it, but Yuanzhou has always respected his seniors very much, so the timing was considered appropriate.
"Chef Yuan is here."
"Welcome, Chef Yuan is here just in time. I just have a question that I would like to ask."
"Chef Yuan, long time no see."
As soon as they saw Yuan Zhou, August and other acquaintances stood up and walked towards Yuan Zhou to say hello. Although they were indeed seniors in terms of age, Yuan Zhou was superior to them in terms of cooking skills. It's worth them getting up and greeting you.
