Chapter 862 - : Dozing and Pillow (1/2)

After Yuan Zhou studied the mission for a good few minutes, he spoke inwardly.

“System, I’ll overlook the stupid designation you are calling me with, let us focus on the mission. Why does this mission feel like two missions instead?” Yuan Zhou asked immediately, abiding by the concept of voicing all doubts to avoid being tricked.

The system displayed, “Winning this activity is considered as mission completion.”

“Oh, so you mean winning it means the completion of this mission?” Yuan Zhou asked.

The system displayed, “Yes, little comrade.”

“Please stop calling me that,” Yuan Zhou said helplessly.

The system gave no reply. Yuan Zhou took a deep breath and threw that weird name out of his head and continued reading the mission.

“The reward seems good, but does the Sichuan Cuisine mean the entirety of Sichuan Cuisine?” Yuan Zhou muttered to himself. He reached out to the drawer of the countertop and took out his phone.

“System, is this a complete Sichuan Cuisine, including Palace Cuisine, Chongqing School of Sichuan Cuisine and so on?” Yuan Zhou asked.

The system displayed, “Yes, they are included.”

“How about the side dishes?” This wasn’t Yuan Zhou being long-winded. Rather, it was him having smartened up after his numerous battle of wits and courage with the system.

The system displayed, “Yes.”

“So there are no special requirements to unlock the side dishes this time, right?” Yuan Zhou asked.

The system displayed, “You won’t know that until you complete the mission.”

“Hoho, I have a feeling you are trying to scam me again,” Yuan Zhou said.

Even so, with such a generous reward, Yuan Zhou had to complete this mission. After all, the temptation of mastering an entire set of cuisine was too great.

He calmed himself and prepared to do more research on this competition.

With the advancement in technology, a lot of information could be found online. And thus, the first place Yuan Zhou went searching was the Internet.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Yuan Zhou navigated his phone rapidly and before long, many web pages were already opened, even an online encyclopedia was opened.

After reading through all of them, Yuan Zhou gained a basic understanding of this competition.

It turned out that in order to spread the culture of Sichuan Cuisine, each year, a Sichuan Cuisine restaurant selection would be held. This was an activity jointly held by the government and Sichuan Cuisine chefs. It had extremely strict standards.

To take part in the selection, one needed to first obtain a recommendation from the government. Next, a voting process would be held among the organizing chefs before a restaurant would be chosen.

Simply put, this competition concerned the glory of Sichuan. Therefore, this was not a competition where votes would be taken from the masses on the internet. After all, there would be too many variables if they did that.

After all, the selected restaurant would receive the commendation of the government and be marketed extensively. Of course, an officially acknowledged number one Sichuan Cuisine was something all Sichuan Cuisine chefs would desire. And thus, the competition had always been extremely intense.

From the first year until now, this competition had been held three times. And when Yuan Zhou saw the three past champions, his confidence started dropping.

All three of those restaurants shared one same trait: a long history. One of them was the restaurant founded by Wu Yusheng, a Sichuan Cuisine master chef. Unsurprisingly, the signature dish of that restaurant was also Wu Yusheng’s signature dish, Kung Pao Chicken. That was a restaurant with over 100 years of history.

As for Wu Yusheng, he was also the founder of Emei Restaurant. His food was widely loved, even the Beijing opera masters, Mei Lanfang and Zhang Youyu, and the famous painter, Qi Baishi, loved his food.

This was the impressive background the first restaurant had. Of course, the second restaurant was similarly impressive as well.

It was Zhang’s Sichuan Restaurant, a restaurant where Zhang Guangwu once worked at. The restaurant was known for its Spicy Boiled Fish, which was Zhang Guangwu’s signature dish that was extremely popular in the country.
