Chapter 991: 991

Leaving Yin Ya’s matter aside, Taoxi Road was extraordinarily boisterous due to the new dishes currently .

Hence, the originally boisterous Taoxi Road became more crowded every day now . It wasn’t exaggerated to describe it as “people piling on top of each other” . At this point, the queuing committee had to take action .

In order to let more people eat delicacies and save as much time as possible, the queuing committee would organize the line of people very carefully . And in this regard, the customers were also very cooperative . They finished their meal and left without delay before the next group came up to replace them .

As there were too many people, other restaurants in Taoxi Road also had a much better business today . The most obvious one was Li Li’s western restaurant not far away .

It had 35% more customers today than during normal times . There was a saying, “A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit” . Seeing the current situation, Li Li would never think that he could serve better dishes again .

Instead, he summoned one chef under him and ordered him to go ask if there was an activity in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant today .

The chubby chef stroked his own fat belly and took a look at Li Li’s complexion carefully and then answered, “That Yuan Zhou seems to have served new dishes . ”

Li Li nodded his head and indicated that it made sense . He said, “Cheer up . That restaurant serves new dishes today and thus, we will be very busy . We must be conscientious and responsible and never cold-shoulder every customer . ”

The situation was roughly like that . This kind of overcrowded situation lasted for three days .

At noon on the third day, Yuan Zhou finished his work again and then fully stretched himself, which made his bone joints emit a sound of “Ka Ba Ka Ba” .

Yuan Zhou dug a hole and buried himself . He was too tired as he had served too many new dishes at a time .

“Hooo… I must win the competition quickly later . Otherwise, it won’t be good to delay the dinner . ” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself .

“Let’s try to get back before 6 . ” Yuan Zhou looked up at the clock and estimated .

That’s right . This afternoon was the scheduled time of the competition against the 28 restaurants .

If this attitude of Yuan Zhou was known to Chef Li and other 27 chief chefs, they would definitely fly into a rage . In order to maintain the best competitive readiness, they hadn’t drunk and played cards for several days . Besides that, they had been staying in the kitchen for these few days .

“Hua La La” . Having pulled the shutter door down, Master Cheng waited at the side in silence .

He was of quite high status in both the China Chefs’ Alliance and Sichuan Cuisine Alliance . Therefore, he was very clear about this kind of challenge .

Master Cheng especially came over here to be a driver today . He straightforwardly invited Yuan Zhou into the car and then drove to Renyu Building quickly and steadily .

This kind of competition was usually held on a whole floor . And the people from Sichuan Cuisine Alliance had already rented a whole floor and got everything arranged yesterday .

Apart from the kitchen counters, even things about reporters and publicity had been well arranged . Though there would be no live broadcast through TV or relay broadcast through the Internet, there was still quite the momentum

Not to mention those 28 restaurants still had a group of supporters .

Yuan Zhou showed the electronic invitation letter on his phone and got it verified . After that, he came to the main hall .

Renyu Building was a luxurious office building, which could be seen by its size . Yuan Zhou looked around and couldn’t even see everything .

In the center of the main hall, there were two kitchen counters with two different colors, red and blue . Behind them were the food ingredients stacked neatly . Everything was prepared beforehand according to the menu provided by both parties .

Chef Li and his men had already arrived . There were 35 people in all and crowded together .

Actually, more people prepared to come, but the invitation letters were limited . After all, they didn’t come here for a gang fight .

Frankly speaking, Chef Li had very few opportunities to experience such a big occasion . When he was interviewed by the reporters later, they chatted for a little while .

“Concerning this competition, somebody said you all had doubts about the winner of the Appraisal of Exemplary Restaurant,” the reporter asked courteously .

“We don’t have doubts . Precisely speaking, we hope the winner can cook better . After all, Head Chef Yuan is so young and he still needs to learn a lot from the old chefs,” said Chef Li .

Just like Yuan Zhou said, Chef Li wasn’t like a chef . He was more like a businessman .

By comparison, Yuan Zhou kept a lower profile . With neither an assistant nor a sous-chef, he arrived in a suit of Han attire . The patterns of lotus flowers embroidered at the sleeve opening and lower hem looked elegant and simple .

“Master Yuan, I’m going to wait at the side until you finish,” said Master Cheng respectfully .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and didn’t refuse him .

Seeing Yuan Zhou nod his head, Master Cheng turned around and left .

This time, Master Cheng didn’t ask Yuan Zhou if he needed his help . After all, the 28 restaurants couldn’t even be regarded as a clown . It was simply an insult to Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship to ask him if he needed any help .

Therefore, Master Cheng stood at the side in silence and waited to drive Yuan Zhou back later .

After talking with Master Cheng, Yuan Zhou walked up to the blue kitchen counter to get familiar with the kitchenware . First of all, he needed to use the knife deftly . He began to cut the potatoes to practice .

The four judges of Zhou Shijie, Zhang Yan, Bai Xiaoxiao, and Wang Xiang had reached the designated position .

There was a change in the judges . Apart from the two chairmen, the remaining two judges of Wang Xiang and Bai Xiaoxiao weren’t really familiar to Yuan Zhou .

The reason why they weren’t really familiar to Yuan Zhou was that he seemed to have heard of these two names before .

Bai Xiaoxiao was only 40 years old this year, but he had been the biggest seafood dealer in Sichuan Province . Sichuan wasn’t a coastal province and 30% of the seafood consumed in this province was transported here by Bai Xiaoxiao . Most importantly, the high-end seafood market in Sichuan Province had been monopolized by him .

Bai Xiaoxiao liked eating very much, therefore, he had a very good relationship with many chefs and also had a high tasting attainment for seafood .

Wang Xiang had a nickname, King of Haimen, formerly . A dozen years ago, he was known as the biggest prawn chef of Sichuan Province .

He cooked the Mashed Garlic Steamed Baby Lobster very well . A special explanation, the so-called baby lobster was actually the Australian lobster .

Generally speaking, it was quite rational to invite Bai Xiaoxiao and Wang Xiang as the judges of the competition . By the way, all the food ingredients to be used in this competition were supplied for free by Bai Xiaoxiao proactively .

The competition was about to commence . As it was a contest of Sichuan Cuisine, the chairman of the Evaluation Committee was Zhang Yan . He would declare the opening of the competition .

After the opening remark of the competition was the introduction of the dishes to be served by both parties .

“The following are the dishes of both parties for competition,” Zhang Yan turned to look at the screen and then said primly .

Then, there appeared 14 dishes on the screen . On the left side was the red, Chef Li . On the right was the blue, Yuan Zhou .

Red: Hot and Numbing Mantis Shrimp, Winter Bamboo Shoots With Sea Cucumber, Pickled Pepper North Shellfish, Dried Pot Little Yellow Croaker, Salad Sea Snail, Flaming Squid and last, Rolling Crab Dumpling .

Blue: Bell Pepper Prawn, Red Sea Cucumber Bamboo Shoots, Chilli Seashell Meat, Three Fishes Served On Stones, Sea Snail Soup, Eight Clawed Flaming Mountain and last, Big Crabs .
