In a small mountain town called Qinggang, far away from Kunshi in Yunnan Province, a young man is running on a concrete road.

Although the mountains are all around, the village roads here have been built into concrete roads, and this young man, who is about 20 years old, is running quickly towards a small green tile house.

"Dad, Dad, Dad, you're at home. ”

The young man shouted while running, and when he ran to the door, he saw that his father was sitting at the door smoking leaves, and he was immediately dissatisfied.

"You kid is like a soul, and you're at home when you're not at home. The young man's father raised his hand and knocked on the cigarette stick, but he didn't have a good breath.

The father looked to be in his forties, his face and hands were very clean, even if he smoked, his hands were not yellow, and his clothes were clean, and he sat on the small bench at the door.

"I'm in a hurry, Dad, you can respond at home. The young man said.

"What's the matter. Seeing that he always didn't say anything, his father asked directly.

"You're not a country chef, now there's a country kitchen competition, and I think you'll be invincible all over the world as soon as you appear. The young man gestured twice and said excitedly.

"Don't go. The old father shook his head directly.

"Why?" the young man suddenly panicked.

"What's the point of the competition, it's better to take two more jobs and earn you some money to marry a daughter-in-law. The old father took a puff of his cigarette and said in a pragmatic tone.

"Then you might as well go to the competition, which has a prize fund of 500,000. The young man said immediately.

"That's not going either, what's fair about the game now. "The old father looks very sophisticated.

"No, this competition is very formal, it is organized by the Kitchen Federation, haven't you always wanted to join the Kitchen Association? The young man said immediately.

"Now I'm old and don't want to. The old father was still unmoved.

"It's said that the top five can join this time, why don't you try it?" the young man continued.

"Oh, who else organizes it besides the Kitchen Club?" asked the old father with some emotion.

"And, of course, the government. The young man said immediately.

"There are other rules. The old father continued.

"By the way, this is a joint township kitchen competition of the three provinces, and it is not difficult, Dad, you have to come on. The young man suddenly remembered this and said immediately.

"Three provinces united?" said the old father.

"That's right, in addition to our Yun Province, there are also your provinces and Sichuan provinces. The young man wrenched his fingers and counted them one by one, and suddenly patted his head: "That's right, that's right, this activity was initiated by that Yuan Zhou, the very powerful chef you've heard of, Dad, and I heard that the prize money is from him." ”

"Yuan Zhou, you shouldn't be talking about Boss Yuan. "The old father came interested.

"That's right, I think it's written that the chef industry is a new generation of people. "Young people aren't so sure.

"Then you didn't say it earlier, Chef Yuan is the most well-behaved person, he must not be wrong, go." The old father immediately raised his hand to extinguish the cigarette and stood up directly.

"Where are you going?" the young man was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive.

"Of course it's to sign up, you're so stupid and not my species. The old father struck the young man on the head with a cigarette stick.

"I couldn't live or die just now, but I went as soon as I heard about Yuan Zhou. The young man said angrily: "Dad, do you still know Yuan Zhou?"

"Nonsense, who doesn't know Boss Yuan who defeated the devil chef. The old father said: "When do you have a chef Yuan who is one-tenth of the best, your father will admit that you are my species." ”

As soon as he said this, the young man immediately wilted, and without saying much, he took his father to sign up.

And there are many such things in other places, and it can be imagined from here that Yuan Zhou's influence has already spread to other provinces, but this competition has made his reputation even better.

Whether it's the reputation of the pastry chef, or the Sino-Japanese exchange competition, or that variety show, the recognition is very good anyway.

Of course, Yuan Zhou was a desert in his heart, and he thought that he was just a fledgling, after all, he was a systematically assessed intermediate chef.

On the other hand, the business of the small shop in Yuanzhou is as hot as ever, or even more hot than before this competition.

And there is a person whose temper is as hot as the business in this store, this person is Zhang Yan, the president of the Sichuan Cuisine Chef Alliance, who is not very good-tempered, he is very hot now, and rushed directly to Zhou Shijie's office in a hurry.

With a "bang", Zhang Yan directly pushed open the door and walked in.

"Zhou Shijie, you old horseman, you hold an event in my Sichuan Province, don't you notify me?" Zhang Yan pointed at Zhou Shijie and scolded.

No way, these two have known each other for decades, and the way they get along has always been like this, if it is a formal occasion, it is a little face, and an informal occasion is to be scared, and never let go.

"You old fellow won't close the door when you come in. Zhou Shijie wanted to get angry, but when he saw that the door was not closed, he suppressed it a little, got up and slammed the door.

"Old guy, you're in a hurry, so I won't tell you what's wrong, the president of my kitchen association has to agree to hold an event. "Zhou Shijie looked proud, and he didn't accept that you came to beat me.

"Okay, you old pit, let's see the real chapter under our hands today, and see if it's you, the president, or me, who is powerful. Zhang Yan was suddenly angry, and directly rolled up his sleeves to dry.

"Come on, I'm still afraid that you won't succeed, what's the matter, Xiao Yuan didn't find you unbalanced. Zhou Shijie poked again.

"Xiao Yuan, what does this have to do with Yuan Zhou? Zhang Yan realized that something was wrong, and immediately asked vigilantly.

"Haha, you old man doesn't even know this, and you're embarrassed to come to me?" Zhou Shijie immediately sneered unceremoniously.

"Hmph, that's because I don't want to hear more about you. Zhang Yan snorted coldly.

"This event was planned by Xiao Yuan, saying that it was a chance for those to be famous as village chefs, and it was not a simple matter for people to make banquets in the countryside, and he also contributed his own money and efforts. Zhou Shijie said that Yuan Zhou was very satisfied.

Zhang Yan stopped being angry for a moment, and turned to admiration: "I really have a heart." ”

"Of course, the person I fancy can be worse. Zhou Shijie looked smug.

"Since it was done by Xiao Yuan, and it was the first time, I am responsible for the Sichuan Province. Zhang Yan didn't pay attention to Zhou Shijie's smugness at all, and said directly.

"Yes. Zhou Shijie nodded.

"I'm looking at Xiao Yuan's face, if you do it, I will still make you yellow. Zhang Yan pointed at Zhou Shijie and said.

"Then you don't have a chance, remember to do the event well. Zhou Shijie spread his hands.

"Xiao Yuan is the future of our Sichuan cuisine, and I will naturally do this little thing well. Zhang Yan is full of confidence, and the word Sichuan cuisine is particularly heavy.

"What kind of Sichuan cuisine, don't be so narrow, Xiao Yuan will be the one who will take my place in the future. Zhou Shijie immediately objected.

"Now Xiao Yuan is a Sichuan cuisine demonstration store in Sichuan Province. "Zhang Yan killed.

"This is just the beginning, Xiao Yuan is still so young, and the future is still very long. Zhou Shijie said directly.

Zhang Yan didn't refute this rare sentence, because even if Zhang Yan didn't want to agree with Zhou Shijie's words, with the strength that Yuan Zhou is showing now, Sichuan cuisine is really just the beginning for him.
