Chapter 1207: Cao zhishu’s doubts
Yuan Zhou's words sounded like a ridicule, but the system still answered him seriously.
The system displayed,"yes, host. The poison of the pufferfish is at its peak at this time. Please handle it carefully."
"Thank you," she said. Yuan Zhou said noncommittally.
The system displayed,"you're welcome."
"Have you already provided the pufferfish?" Yuan Zhou suddenly asked.
The system displayed,"yes, host, it has been provided."
"The reward is a complete collection of pufferfish cooking methods. I remember that the sale and handling of pufferfish require a certificate." Yuan Zhou stroked his forehead and said suspiciously.
The system displayed,[the certificate of purchase for pufferfish is complete. The host doesn't need to worry.]
"Only the certificate of purchase? In other words, there's no certificate of sale, right?" Although Yuan Zhou was asking, his tone was quite certain.
The system displayed,"yes."
"That means I have to take the test myself." Yuan Zhou said.
The system displayed,"yes."
"I know." Yuan Zhou nodded his head, indicating that he got it. Then, he didn't ask further.
Yuan Zhou had already seen through the system's carefree attitude.
After quite a while, Yuan Zhou said,"although I have some knowledge about pufferfish, it's still too little. I should learn more before I start."
After saying that, Yuan Zhou picked up his phone and started to buy books online.
"The breeding of pufferfish and its Disease Control? You can also learn more about it. " Yuan Zhou kept searching for it and then tapped on the screen continuously.
In just a short while, Yuan Zhou had bought more than 30 books.
From the study of the habits of pufferfish to the available books on thirty-seven types of edible pufferfish, as well as the control of breeding, as well as the individual growth of the most common pufferfish species, the Tiger boar, were all there.
"This should be enough." Yuan Zhou nodded his head inwardly and then placed the order to pay.
Yuan Zhou tried his best to find the books from the same city so that the shipping speed would be faster and he could get them faster.
"Speaking of which, in addition to my cooking skills and my handsomeness, I've also become more and more proficient in the online shopping skill." Yuan Zhou sighed.
"Sigh, it would be great if I could be more handsome one day." Yuan Zhou sighed in the heart. He had always felt that he was more restrained no matter how handsome he was.
At that time, a girl with long legs walked by on the street. Yuan Zhou subconsciously straightened his back and conveniently put down his phone. Then, he picked up the piece of wood beside him and started to read it attentively.
Yuan Zhou had originally intended to pretend to be deep and profound, but as he looked at the wood, he was attracted by it. Then, he began to engrave the Wood's grain and the things to pay attention to during the carving in his mind.
Yuan Zhou was so serious that he didn't notice that the girl who had just passed by turned her head and looked at him three times.
While Yuan Zhou was immersed in the sculpting, someone else was quite happy at the other side.
There was no other reason. It was because today was the release day of the new Little Red Book by Michelin. It was also the day that Cao zhishu's SHU restaurant received a three-star Michelin rating.
In Shu restaurant, blue, who was giving out the certificate, was followed by a few people in suits who looked very serious. Blue, on the other hand, began to hand in the certificate with a smile.
"Congratulations, head chef Cao." Blue spoke in awkward Chinese.
"Thank you," she said. Cao zhishu, who was wearing a pure white Tang suit, touched his bald head and took it with a smile.
"You're welcome," Blue's Chinese was still as stiff as ever.
Speaking of which, because blue would say a few awkward words at noon, he was the one to issue the certificate, so no one else came.
Cao zhishu nodded and handed the certificate to his apprentice. Then, he turned around and asked in fluent English,""Mr. Blue, I wonder how many shops in Rong city have received three stars this time?"
Even though Cao zhishu had always been a person of etiquette, he had always been very direct when it came to speaking. Therefore, he asked the question directly.
Blue relaxed when he heard the English. He blinked and said gently,""Don't joke around. Head chef Cao, your restaurant has received the highest honor this time."
"You mean there are no 3-star shops in Chengdu?" Cao zhishu asked in surprise.
He was not surprised. As a chef, Cao zhishu naturally knew that the Michelin was the most famous and authoritative food selection in Europe and America.
There were some criteria for the selection of the Michelin company. The International Director of the Michelin Guide, Mico Ellis, had once stated it clearly.
In an interview, he said that the criteria for Michelin were standardized all over China. The one-star criteria was the combination of the ingredients, techniques, and taste, the chef's innovation level, the consistency of the cooking level, and the restaurant's consistent quality of food and value for money. To promote from one-star to two-star, one needed to look at the degree of refinement and skillful cooking techniques. The three-star criteria was to give the diners an unforgettable and unique experience.
In Cao zhishu's opinion, the service of Yuan Zhou's restaurant could not be compared to his own. However, the invincible taste of Yuan Zhou's restaurant had completely offset the additional conditions. It was impossible for such a restaurant to not have a three star rating.
Hence, Cao zhishu looked at blue with suspicion.
"That's right. No. Head chef Cao, your restaurant is the only two-star restaurant that has received such an honor." Blue nodded his head without hesitation.
"Oh, thank you. I won't see you off then." Cao zhishu nodded his head and started to see the guest out.
"Alright, then we won't disturb you any further." Blue nodded and also led his men out.
Cao zhishu walked them to the door. Blue subconsciously turned around and saw that the people were just standing there without any sign. Blue even teased them,""Actually, head chef Cao's brand can be hung up. You are worthy of this evaluation."
"Thank you," he said. Cao zhishu nodded courteously. He did not say anything else and immediately sent her off.
"I hope that you will have the opportunity to come to head chef Cao's restaurant again. I hope that you will remain the same and be full of innovation at the same time." Bru gave his blessings and left in his car.
Cao zhishu maintained his smile throughout the entire process. Only after they had left did his disciples come forward excitedly.""Master, where do you think we should hang this sign?"
This disciple was naturally holding the two-star Michelin logo. There was also a line in standard English on it. When translated, it meant that the dishes were excellent, showing the chef's care and outstanding skills, and it was worth the detour.
However, Cao zhishu was frowning as he looked at the sign.""Head chef Yuan didn't get a three-star? It's too unusual. "
"Master?" The disciple asked in confusion.
"It's fine. I'll leave it here for now. I'll do some research later." Cao zhishu waved his hand.
"Should we put up that Michelin-starred signboard in human form?" The disciple asked again.
"Didn't you hear clearly? I'll say it later, how many times do I have to repeat it?" Cao zhishu reprimanded him. How could the matter of listing Yuan Zhou's name be more important than finding out why Yuan Zhou wasn't a three-star chef?
The disciple stopped.
Cao zhishu took out his phone and made a call.
