Chapter 409: A Test (Two)

“We have dined and wined. So we are leaving now.” Along with Zhou Shijie’s salutation, Yuan Zhou also stood up.

“See you.” Yuan Zhou looked at Chu Xiao and nodded his head slightly, saying that.

“See you next time.” Chu Xiao also nodded calmly.

Then, the footsteps of “Ta Ta Ta” sounded while Yuan Zhou walked out of the door after Zhou Shijie.

“Hooo.” Only then did Andrew became relieved.

“Clear the dinnerware away.” Chu Xiao signaled the waitress that waited for his instructions at the side.

“Head chef, can you take me along with you when you go to China next time?” Andrew followed Chu Xiao step by step and said that after quite a while.

“Give me a reason.” Without turning his head, Chu Xiao asked straightforwardly.

“I want to witness if that guy who is as tasteful as you can cook well enough for that elegant taste.” Andrew spoke with elegant French.

He sounded fairly sincere and natural, without any hint of fawning over Chu Xiao.

“Sure.” Chu Xiao nodded his head and agreed.

“Thank you so much, head chef.” Andrew made a gesture of victory secretly without a trace.

On the other side, Zhou Shijie and Yuan Zhou had set out for China after they attended the new dish release conference.

“Little Yuan, do you have any thoughts during your trip here?” Zhou Shijie asked in high spirits.

“Yes. That chef called Felix and the vegetable garden that he took us to visit was quite impressive.” When Zhou Shijie asked Yuan Zhou about that, Yuan Zhou thought of the person naturally.

It was the second day of the exchange and coincidentally, this Felix was a friend of Zhou Shijie’s disciple. So, after he guided them to savor the new dishes, he also invited them to visit his own vegetable garden enthusiastically.

It was also the source of the food ingredients used for the new dishes.

Felix’s vegetable garden was about 1.5 hours’ drive from his restaurant. It was about 1.2 hectares large and was managed very well.

“Are these vegetables all planted by himself?” Yuan Zhou asked curiously.

Zhou Shijie’s disciple translated for them consciously at the side.

“No, I hire people to look after them. Occasionally, I also come to take care of them personally.” Felix answered enthusiastically.

“Do you always pick them one day earlier when you need them?” Yuan Zhou continued asking.

“Of course. The vegetables will be fresher that way.” Felix nodded his head.

Then, they continued to follow him and visit the garden. He also raised some small animals in the estate for food.

“Why this one?” Zhou Shijie asked curiously.

“I can see the quality of the vegetables and ingredients personally.” Yuan Zhou said earnestly.

“That is indeed so. It feels more private.” Zhou Shijie nodded.

“But there are also these kinds of restaurants in our hometown. You can even pick the vegetables by yourself and cook them on site.” Zhou Shijie continued saying.

Then, the two people started to chat about this topic.

They changed a flight, waited, and then took off. Time passed very soon. As soon as they arrived at the Beijing international airport, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

“Um. It’s still the same taste, full of the exhaust and haze. What a familiar taste!” Yuan Zhou said expressionlessly.

“Haw-haw. It’s indeed so.” Zhou Shijie also nodded his head with a smile.

“Let’s move. We still have a long way to go.” Zhou Shijie said while pointing at the car in front of them.

The plane took off again. It had been 11:00 p.m. when they arrived in Chengdu.

The midnight bell sounded exactly when Yuan Zhou stood at the crossroads of the side street.

“Hua La Hua La”.

There was only the sound of his suitcase moving on the ground in the silent street. Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in the distance.
