Chapter 639 - Yuan Zhou’s Method of (1/2)

Yuan Zhou’s room was on the 21st floor, but the banquet hall of the meeting was on the 7th floor and on the 6th floor was the western restaurant. Chairman Zhou was quite generous this time. He directly booked both the 6th and 7th floor.

Of course, the 7th floor was used for the meeting place while the 6th was a place to have discussions and rest. The 6th floor had already been decorated, but Yuan Zhou didn’t go there.

The elevator carried him directly to the 7th floor.

After a sound of “Ding”, the door of the elevator opened and Yuan Zhou walked out.

“This hotel looks quite magnificent.” Yuan Zhou looked at the conspicuous slogan in front of him and sighed with emotion.

Jiali Hotel was indeed quite magnificent. A conspicuous signboard stating “Sino-Japan Exchange Meeting” in both Chinese and Japanese was hung right in front of the door of the elevator. Moreover, the characters were all large bronze letters.

The slogan was in the middle while at both sides, were two big open wooden doors, which were also decorated with the cotton flannel and hence looked beautiful and magnificent.

With his decidophobia, Yuan Zhou walked to the left side habitually and took out his entrance card.

“Ding”. Yuan Zhou swiped the card gently and then, the door opened instantly.

“There seems to be nobody here,” Looking at the dark spacious hall, Yuan Zhou couldn’t help muttering.

Along with the sound of “Pa”, the lights were all turned on by Yuan Zhou. As a result, bright lamplight suddenly illuminated the whole banquet hall.

The arrangement of the banquet hall was similar to the one in Japan. The kitchen range and azure stone countertops were also arranged in a circle.

However, the meeting place in China was much larger. There were a total of 18 kitchen ranges for 18 chefs and each of them was equipped with an energy-saving gas furnace and an appropriate wok over it.

Yuan Zhou’s place was quite conspicuous. It was one of the best places, usually prepared for chefs of the highest status.

And there were two places of the same kind. Apart from Yuan Zhou’s place, there was another kitchen range at the side.

At the very edge of every kitchen range was the knife holder to put knives for cleaving, chopping or both. Of them, the cleaving knife was for processing boneless meat and vegetables while the chopping knife was for meat with bones or very hard ingredients.

Among all the kitchen ranges, 17 of them had these three knives in the knife holder, including Yuan Zhou’s kitchen range. Only the one beside Yuan Zhou’s was different. There were two knife holders on it.

“There really are a lot of knives.” Yuan Zhou observed the knives very carefully.

There was a chef’s knife, a boning knife for slicing meat and deboning, a small cutting knife for processing vegetables and steak as well as wavy-edged tomato knife especially for cutting the tomatoes.

All these were knives prepared for western chefs and each of them shone with a cold light.

“This is definitely Chu Xiao’s place.” Without looking at the nameplate, Yuan Zhou knew it was Chu Xiao’s.

In the eyes of Yuan Zhou, only Chu Xiao knew how to use so many knives. Of course, the reason was that Yuan Zhou didn’t know other western chefs besides Chu Xiao who was qualified to come to attend the meeting.

He had absolutely no idea that Li Li from the neighboring restaurant would also come to attend the meeting.

Yuan Zhou leaned forward to look at the nameplate in front and really found Chu Xiao’s name written in both Chinese and Japanese on it.

“It turns out to be so.” Yuan Zhou was quite proud of himself.

“What does my nameplate look like?” Yuan Zhou suddenly remembered that he hadn’t looked at his own nameplate carefully.

He reached out his hand to grab it, but nevertheless misestimated the length of his arms and thus didn’t bend down. As a result, he ended up grabbing nothing. Well, such short arms.

He only managed to get his nameplate on the second try and start to check it.
