Yuan Zhou’s food case was in the shape of a hexagon, made of vermilion timber, and were four layers high. It looked small and exquisite, yet it was actually quite big.

Six tiny cases were hung on the six corners of the case, and after Yuan Zhou took them off one by one, he started observing the kitchen.

The kitchen was built against the back wall, while the row of kitchen equipment was facing the front entrance. The kitchen equipment consisted of two countertops, a seasoning chest, a hand washing sink, an ingredient washing sink, and chopping boards and knives arranged to the side.

And behind him were the steamer, oven, and so on. This was quite a complete kitchen.

While Yuan Zhou was studying the kitchen, the carpenter and Zhou Shijie started talking again.

“The timber used to make this young man’s food case is quite decent,” said Carpenter Lian.

“Of course. This kid is super fussy, especially anything concerning cooking. He will always use the best he can. However, he is worthy of using the best since he has the skills to back it up,” Zhou Shijie did not forget to praise Yuan Zhou. And when he spoke, he emphasized on “cooking”.

“I’m talking about the case. What are you going off-topic for?” frowned Carpenter Lian.

“I’m talking about Little Yuan’s cooking skills,” Zhou Shijie said.

“Hoho, I can’t be bothered to continue talking to you,” Carpenter Lian decided to shut up as there was nothing he could say towards this person who was obsessed with showing off.

“Little Yuan sure is attentive. He is worthy to be the leader among the young generation of chefs. See, he does not forget to bring along cleaning rags to wipe anything needing wiping,” Zhou Shijie praised. “He has the focus and attentiveness, also has the spirit of learning. Carpenter Lian, don’t you think a person like this should be a master chef?”

Carpenter Lian inhaled deeply and tried very hard to stop himself from erupting in anger. He muttered to himself, “It’s not like my place is dirty.”

It was a normal practice to wipe before using the tools of others. Even Carpenter Lian himself would do the same. As such, he still approved of Yuan Zhou’s action of bringing his own cleaning rags for wiping. But at the same time, he could not stand Zhou Shijie and had the urge to beat Zhou Shijie to death.

That’s right. In the six tiny cases hanging on Yuan Zhou’s hexagon case were the cleaning rags. Each of them were different as well.

The three rough-looking rags were used for the first round of wiping. The other rags that looked softer were made of cotton and were used to wipe the kitchen implements so as to not damage the surface of the implements.

Slowly, Yuan Zhou wiped the countertop clean. Since he was not planning to use the oven behind him, he did not wipe the oven. And thus, he did not need long to finish.

After finishing, Yuan Zhou washed his hands before he finally raised his head.

“Chairman, Carpenter Lian, I will start now,” Yuan Zhou said.

“Ok, go ahead,” Chairman Zhou nodded.

“I’ll be watching,” Carpenter Lian said.

Yuan Zhou took all four layers of the case apart and arranged them on the countertop.

Naturally, the required beans for Three Fragrance to the Ocean were contained in the case. All of them were already prepared in advance.

The red beans were contained in a porcelain plate, and to the side were the soybeans. And beside the soybeans were the pale yellow peas.

All the beans had already been processed, and Yuan Zhou could directly start cooking.

In the final case was an empty plate and some condiments.
