Chapter 2669: Chapter 213 stand up to welcome

Translator: 549690339

It took him more than 10 hours to wait for the plane, including the flight time and the transfer flight time. Even though Yuan Zhou had slept for a while on the plane, he still felt quite tired. It was only because he was used to standing beside the stove that he appeared to be in high spirits. In fact, Yuan Zhou gasped for breath when he changed his clothes and took a rest.

“Should I put the matter of buying an airplane on the agenda? it’ll be more convenient this way.” Yuan Zhou closed his eyes and rested his mind. When he thought about it, he thought of the idea he had before.

Yuan Zhou had already thought of buying a plane a long time ago. As a future master chef, he needed to have some reputation. At that time, he felt that it would be a waste to buy a plane since he could only use it a few times. Therefore, he didn’t think about it further.

Now, it was time to imagine. The main thing was that every time they took a plane, they had to arrive at the airport in advance. If they didn’t reserve enough time, they definitely wouldn’t be able to catch the plane. If they reserved enough time, they would delay the opening time of the store, especially for international flights.

Ordinary people usually needed to arrive at the airport three hours in advance. It would take a long time to collect tickets, check in their luggage, and go through the customs.

Even though Yuan Zhou had already simplified the process, he didn’t need to take his own luggage and air tickets and could board the plane as soon as he arrived. That didn’t save him much time.

Now, it would be much more convenient if he had a plane. After all, one was only for himself, while the other was for the public. It was always different.

Now wasn’t the time to think about this. He got rid of all the messy thoughts in his mind and started to recall all kinds of news about Akara’s meeting.

As a representative of China, it was his first time to participate in such a competition. Naturally, Yuan Zhou wanted to do his best. Not to mention bringing honor to the country, he had to ensure that he didn’t bring shame to the country. Of course, it was definitely impossible for Yuan Zhou to do so with his current culinary skills. However, it didn’t prevent Yuan Zhou from making sufficient preparations.

No matter what he was facing, Yuan Zhou always liked to make preparations in advance so that he could deal with unexpected events calmly. It was always good to prepare for a rainy day.

Time naturally passed faster when there was something to do, especially when they had breakfast delivered to the hotel room. Perhaps it was because of the hotel’s thoughtfulness or the organizing committee’s good arrangement, but the breakfast was Chinese style, consisting of porridge, steamed buns, and boiled eggs.

As the long-term host of Akara’s meetings, the anapik hotel’s chefs were naturally top-notch. Although they were not qualified to participate in these top-notch meetings, they were still very good. They were only slightly inferior to Paul, but of course, their age and talent could not be compared to Paul.

This head chef didn’t usually cook by himself. It was only because the guests today were all experts that he cooked by himself.

......

However, for Chinese dishes, this head chef’s dishes were almost all similar in appearance but not in spirit. Although he was also attentive, it was obvious that he had learned it from the online tutorial. However, Yuan Zhou still finished all of them as a form of respect.

Half an hour before the meeting started, Charles, a young man in his 20s who had picked Yuan Zhou up at the airport, came to pick him up and bring him to the meeting room.

Charles, who was in his 20s, said it himself. After all, even if Yuan Zhou had good eyesight, it was still difficult to tell his actual age from his full beard.

He didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he had grown a beard at such a young age. It was only because his eyes were big and bright enough that he couldn’t see.

“Ta ta ta”

The shiny floor made a crisp sound when the shoes knocked on it. Charles led Yuan Zhou out of the guest room. After making a turn left and right, they arrived at a special elevator. According to Charles, this elevator would only be activated when Akara was having a meeting. It was the same for the meeting room as well. It was specially designed for Akara’s meeting.

Different from the steadiness of his beard, Charles had the vivaciousness of a young man in his 20s. Along the way, he kept talking about various things to Yuan Zhou, such as the meeting, the hotel, and the city of Akara. During the short journey of a few minutes, he didn’t repeat any topics and didn’t even change his breath. It could be seen that his lung capacity was very large.

“Head chef Yuan, this way please. I can only send you up to this point.”

Charles pushed open a solemn wooden door with a creak and shut his mouth regretfully. He felt that Yuan Zhou was a very good listener and would not refute him at all. It was really pleasant to chat with him. Of course, it would be even more perfect if Yuan Zhou could answer him with a few more words.

Yuan Zhou said “thank you” with a straight face and then walked inside with his back straight.

Although it was called a meeting room, Yuan Zhou found it was indeed different from the others after he entered. It was specially made for this highest level chef’s meeting. As soon as he entered the room, he saw an empty small hall instead of a meeting table. It wasn’t very big, only about 50 to 60 square meters. There was nothing else except for some coffee tables and tables.

However, the place separated by the small living room had the characteristics of a chef’s meeting. On the left was a row of high-end kitchen stoves. On the right were rows of shelves and pools with all kinds of fresh ingredients on them. At a glance, Yuan Zhou knew that these were definitely delivered this morning. The vegetables even had morning dew on them. At first glance, he could tell that they were of extraordinary quality.

There was nothing else after that, not even a shadow. However, this wasn’t a problem for Yuan Zhou. After looking around carefully, he walked towards the place where the ingredients were placed. After a turn, he suddenly saw a door that was similar to the one he had just entered. The only difference was that this door seemed to be more delicate.

There were two people in suits and leather shoes standing at the door. They were wearing white gloves and stood there with their backs straight. They looked very serious.

Yuan Zhou took out a dark gold Invitation card from his sleeve. This was the invitation card for Akara’s meeting that ju man Li had specially sent to him. It adhered to the principle of being low-key in Akara’s meeting and was very low-key and luxurious.

“Please!”

One of the taller men took the invitation card from Yuan Zhou, took a look at it and nodded. The shorter one on the opposite side immediately pushed open the door and made a gesture of “please” to Yuan Zhou.

The originally quiet space became noisy when the door was pushed open. Various languages came at his face. Yuan Zhou could only distinguish English, French and Spanish, nothing else.

Various languages were mixed together, some high and some low. They appeared to be agitated or calm because of the mood of the host. However, as Yuan Zhou stepped in, the voices gradually became softer.

As soon as Yuan Zhou entered the restaurant, he found that there were more than 20 people there. Most of them had white hair and were at least 70 years old. The youngest among them were probably his acquaintances, Auguste and Juman li.

As far as Yuan Zhou knew, there were 58 people attending the meeting this time and only about 20 of them had arrived. He arrived at the right time.

With his culinary skills, even if he was the last few to arrive, it was still necessary. However, Yuan Zhou had always respected his seniors very much. Therefore, his timing was quite appropriate.

“Head chef Yuan, you’re here.”

“Welcome, welcome. Head chef Yuan, you’re here just in time. I have a question I would like to ask you.”

“Head chef Yuan, long time no see.”

As soon as they saw Yuan Zhou, August and several other acquaintances stood up and walked over to greet him. Although they were indeed seniors in terms of age, in terms of cooking skills, Yuan Zhou, who was better than them, deserved their greetings.
