Chapter 642 - Seeking Perfection (1/2)

Dashi Xiujie was instantly infuriated by Yuan Zhou who spoke as if he was really going to teach others how to cook. He flushed with great anger, but nevertheless couldn’t say anything in that instant.

Chairman Masheng was unlikely to have a hand in their conflicts as Zhou Shijie had been talking to him. At that time, the seemingly amiable person Tengyuan suddenly began to speak.

“That’s great. I wish you can cook a satisfactory dish. I haven’t eaten an authentic Chinese dish for a long time in China,” Tengyuan used sharp words with yet a gentle tone.

“I wish this Chef Yuan won’t let me down.” When Tengyuan mentioned Yuan Zhou’s name, he slightly leaned forward and looked at the nameplate on his clothes, appearing as if he didn’t know whom Yuan Zhou was.

Zhou Shijie had already introduced Yuan Zhou to him just now, therefore, he apparently wanted to warn Yuan Zhou by doing that.

“That’s because you have never met me before,” Yuan Zhou said proudly yet in a flat voice, which sounded like it was obvious.

As soon as he said that confidently, even Tengyuan became stupefied, let alone others. They all appeared to be a little astonished.

Dashi Xiujie became more speechless. If his Chinese were fluent enough, he would have already said to Yuan Zhou, “Sir, why don’t you soar up high to the sky with the help of the wind?”

Simply speaking, he was actually saying, “Why don’t you just rise to the heavens now?”

Unfortunately, he couldn’t. Therefore, he could do nothing but stare at Yuan Zhou helplessly.

“Professor Tengyuan, please come over here and have a rest. The exchange meeting is going to commence very soon,” Chairman Masheng came up to them and tried to smooth things over.

After all, it wasn’t the right time to offend them openly. Meanwhile, Zhou Shijie also began to speak.

“Go prepare now. The exchange meeting is about to start,” Zhou Shijie instructed them smilingly. He didn’t care about the friction at all.

“Many of the delicious Chinese dishes exist among the people. Actually, there are a lot of such dishes,” Chu Xiao first said that and then patted on Yuan Zhou’s shoulders, suggesting that Yuan Zhou go with him.

“Well, that’s right. But it’s very normal that he can’t find such kind of dishes. Though he’s an expert on Chinese dishes in Japan, there are many limitations,” Yuan Zhou nodded his head quite naturally and then added.

Chu Xiao took a look at Yuan Zhou in silence. His word was essentially meant for Tengyuan and he didn’t expect Yuan Zhou to answer him at all.

At that time, Tengyuan and Dashi Xiujie had barely left for two steps away. On hearing Yuan Zhou’s word, they straightforwardly shivered with anger.

Having ignited the explosive, Yuan Zhou nevertheless didn’t realize anything wrong. He even looked back when he found Chu Xiao had not followed him after several steps.

“Probably only you and I are the ones who would dare say such offensive words,” Chu Xiao took a look at Yuan Zhou and said helplessly.

“Pardon?” Yuan Zhou revealed a puzzled look.

“That Professor Tengyuan has a fantastic and amazing tongue. Chu Xiao’s sense of smell is extremely sensitive, but this professor’s sense of taste reaches an incredible extent.”

Chu Xiao didn’t answer him, but Zhong Lili couldn’t help saying that to him at the side.

“Um.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head and indicated that he had heard her.

“I’m not yet finished,” Zhong Lili was a little helpless and anxious, but she still continued saying.

“Tengyuan has only been here twice to attend the exchange meeting. On both occasions, however, Chef Chu wasn’t present. I don’t know if what Tengyuan did was intentional, but in those two occasions, a chef who obviously cooked very well was rated by him to be worthless. It was the gray-haired chef that went together with you to Japan last time.” For fear that Yuan Zhou didn’t know whom she was referring to, Zhong Lili specially described the features of that chef.

“He’s the chairman of Jiangsu Cooking Association and he cooks super delicious dishes. He’s qualified to cook even in Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, but that professor insisted that his dishes tasted bad,” Zhong Lili said indignantly.

“Thank you,” Yuan Zhou thought for a while and answered.

“To be short, if the full mark is 10, he will only rate it at 5 even if you can actually cook it at around 9. He will absolutely seize the minor disadvantage and make a fuss.” Chu Xiao summarized briefly. After that, he left straightforwardly.

“It doesn’t matter. My dishes are definitely beyond full marks.” Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he understood.
