The first time "I'm Gone, You Come" appeared in front of the public was at the "Vermeer Letter Reading Meeting", Wuhai himself didn't go, it was Zheng Jiawei who brought it over.

Don't think that Vermeer's letter reading looks quite lo, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with painting, but it's actually a very serious art exhibition.

First of all, Vermeer is the greatest painter in European history, so I won't say much, as for the stalk of reading letters......

"The Woman Who Wrote the Letter and the Maid", "The Woman Who Wrote the Letter", "The Girl Reading the Letter by the Window", "The Woman in Blue Reading the Letter" Yes, these are all paintings by Vermeer.

Therefore, named Reading Letters, in terms of rank, the Vermi Reading Letters Association is the top exhibition in Europe.

No one yet, while still alive, the works were exhibited at the meeting, and Wuhai was the first.

Its content is mainly based on two people, one old and one young. It's the old man in the store, and the timid strong, the scene is that the old man finishes eating, the table is empty, and then the timid strong is about to sit in the empty seat.

And looking at the diners around him, it seems that the old man has told something interesting, which makes people unsatisfied.

The scene is relatively simple, but Wuhai is not simple, from the timid and the old man walking and sitting, this is more like a kind of handover inheritance.

In the painting, the timid and the old man are very close, and if you look closely, the old man seems to have given the timid a book.

There is a lot of hidden information, for example, there are four words hidden in the whole painting, "except, clear, nine, and bowl", and for example, the dishes on the table are dry fried shredded beef, roasted whole sheep, three shredded fish-flavored pork, and so on.

Whether in terms of aesthetics, emotion, or content, painting skills are a breakthrough for Wuhai.

This work was unanimously sought after abroad, and even after accurately expressing that the painting was not for sale, Cheng Jiawei received many bidding calls from collectors and museums, and other paintings from Wuhai on the market were also much more expensive.

The little follower Zhou Xi has been knocking on the side, where to go if I don't buy "I'm Gone, You Come"?

Then Wu Hai's answer was always only one, Wu said shamelessly: "This painting has a place where he should be." ”

Getting back to business, at four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Shijie and Zhong Lili came to the Yuanzhou shop.

"Isn't Uncle Zhou's appointment time half past four? Why did you arrive half an hour early? Yuan Zhou immediately came out of the kitchen to greet him.

"There are a few other things that can't be delayed, so I came a little earlier. Zhou Shijie found a place to sit down.

"Well, Uncle Zhou, please say. Yuan Zhou waited for the following article.

"Xiao Yuan, do you know about the cooking exhibition?" Zhou Shijie asked first.

"A cooking exhibition similar to an art exhibition?" Yuan Zhou had vaguely heard of it, but he didn't care.

"That's right, is Xiao Yuan interested in holding a cooking exhibition?" Zhou Shijie also got straight to the point.

As I said before, this is not popular in China, so Yuan Zhou subconsciously thought that he was going abroad, so he replied: "It takes too much time to hold a cooking exhibition abroad, and I can't close the store for so long." ”

"Hahaha, I knew it. Zhou Shijie smiled, as if he had long thought that Yuan Zhou would answer like this.

Originally, Chu Xiao planned to do so, but after discussing it with Zhou Shijie, he felt that this matter was inappropriate, so the two made a little change.

"It's definitely not okay to keep you closed for so long. Zhou Shijie said: "If you really do this, I'm afraid those diners of yours will be able to tear down my old bones." ”

Zhou Shijie paused and continued: "Although the cooking exhibition is a foreigner's thing, it doesn't mean that we don't have it in China, is Xiao Yuan interested in doing the first large-scale cooking exhibition in China?"

The first in China, large-scale, Yuan Zhou grasped two key words, and quietly continued to listen to Zhou Shijie's words in the follow-up.

"Led by our chef association and the Sichuan Cuisine Association, a culinary exhibition will be held in Chengdu. Zhou Shijie said: "At that time, we will invite those gringos to see, the cooking exhibition is just that we don't want to play, not that we can't play." ”

"Can I ask about the specific arrangements?" Yuan Zhou moved, and he is still looking forward to the international stage.

"Absolutely. Zhou Shijie agreed, and motioned for Zhong Lili to take out the documents.

Zhong Lili immediately handed the preliminary plan to Yuan Zhou, about seven or eight pages of A4 paper.

Yuan Zhou looked at it very seriously, although he was looking forward to it, but he had to recognize himself in doing things, otherwise it would be very bad to affect the two presidents.

"It's a big exhibition. Yuan Zhou said secretly, he didn't expect it to be so big this time.

In terms of the scale of the current planning book, the Culinary Art Exhibition will invite more than 30 famous chefs or gourmets from more than a dozen countries such as Britain, France, the United States, Germany, and Italy.

Needless to say, the media present at the scene is no less grand, and it is no exaggeration to say that the grand degree is no less than the last Sino-Japanese exchange held in the magic capital.

The solo exhibition lasts for three days, and then the exhibition runs from 2 to 6 o'clock.

"You don't have to worry about other reporters. Zhou Shijie said: "If Xiao Yuan is confident in the next, the old man will give you an idea." ”

"You only need to take a day off, the first day of the cooking show and the opening ceremony, and then the second and third days, Xiao Yuan, you can temporarily change the business hours. Zhou Shijie gave a conscientious suggestion.

Yuan Zhou understood Zhou Shijie's words, probably changing the business hours of noon from twelve to two o'clock to half past eleven to half past one, and from six to eight o'clock in the afternoon, to half past six to half past eight.

One time is pushed forward, and the other is pulled back.

Such an arrangement is undoubtedly Zhou Shijie's best fit for his time, in addition to the necessary opening ceremony, even the closing ceremony is exempted.

Yuan Zhou said gratefully: "Thank you, Uncle Zhou." ”

Zhou Shijie said: "Thank you, if you really want to thank me, an old man, Xiao Yuan, you should think about whether the cooking exhibition in the planning case is okay." ”

"Well, it's a good thought. Yuan Zhou nodded, and then thought about it seriously.

At the end, Yuan Zhou asked, "Uncle Zhou, what is the theme of the cooking exhibition?"

"As long as it shows the Chinese food culture, there are no specific requirements, so the idea is also Xiao Yuan, you think about it yourself, the burden is still very heavy. Zhou Shijie said.

Yuan Zhou nodded, it can be said that the opportunity for this solo exhibition of cooking skills is as great as the pressure.

In this case, it can only succeed and not fail, and it is jointly led by the Chinese Chefs Association and the Sichuan Cuisine Association, which is equivalent to half an official event.

The most important thing is that failure is also a loss of face abroad.

Considering the ability and experience, Yuan Zhou looked at Zhou Shijie with a discerning gaze, and said categorically: "Uncle Zhou, I took the first large-scale personal cooking exhibition in China!"

"I will make all the foreign chefs and foodies present fall in love with Chinese food. ”

As a chef, Yuan Zhou felt that he was obligated at this moment.
