Chapter 680
Yuan Zhou felt that he had fallen recently . Previously, he basically ate nothing after 9 in the evening in order to stay in good shape . The reason was very simple . Digestion usually took about 2 or 3 hours to finish in the stomach . As he had to get up early, Yuan Zhou wouldn’t go to bed too late . If the food couldn’t be digested before he slept, it would become fat .
Once he thought of the consequence of eating in the evening, Yuan Zhou heaved a long sigh and then decided to go on a diet . Otherwise, his good figure with 8 abdominal muscles would have ended up in vain .
In order to relieve the depression in his heart, Yuan Zhou took a stack of newspapers from the table including Delicacies of Chengdu, Daily Reviews Of Delicacies, Cuisines of Sichuan Province and other The dozen of newspapers were all delivered here this morning . All of them were about delicacies and cuisines and were also the latest versions .
[I don’t think it’s correct to use the name of Famous Chef Of Sichuan Cuisines on Yuan Zhou . He should be the Master Chef from Sichuan Province . If anybody asks me which chef can be world-renowned, I would undoubtedly recommend Yuan Zhou . ]
“This freelance editor is Chen Ming . He deserves to be surnamed Chen . People that have that surname all have sharp eyes . No wonder they have such a famous general like Chen Qingzhi in history . ” Yuan Zhou cut this part of the newspaper with scissors . All the reports that complimented him were cut and kept by him . He prepared to leave a room empty especially when he bought a big house in the future to keep the framed reports in it .
[As a foodie as well as a gourmet reporter, I have already planned to make an exclusive interview with that famous grand chef from our province . However, Boss Yuan is a mysterious person and has refused my request for an interview three or four times already .
There was a similar case that happened . When I asked again to interview him several days ago, Boss Yuan unexpectedly agreed . Therefore, I wanted to make my interview unique . I decided not to ask him any questions, but observed by myself . Hence, I stayed silently in Yuan Zhou’s restaurant for three days and then found a problem .

Let’s not talk about his culinary skills today . After all, Boss Yuan’s culinary skills are known to all throughout Sichuan Province . Let me talk about another detail that I found .
Boss Yuan washed his hands for more than 5 times every time he finished cooking a dish . It’s very complicated and repetitive . He did the same even if there were two of the same dishes . With just his usual standard of washing hands, he could definitely teach others how to wash their hands cleanly .
Apart from that, Boss Yuan never keeps fingernails . He examines his fingernails every morning after he gets up . As soon as they are slightly long, he would cut them off .
Moreover, Boss Yuan doesn’t have a kitchen helper . He does all the work alone from washing to cutting vegetables . There are many of these tiny details .
Three days later, I couldn’t help but go ask Boss Yuan as to why he made everything so exaggerated . Even if you employ a kitchen helper and he doesn’t do as well as you, it won’t affect the taste a lot . And the washing hands and cutting fingernails almost made me believe that you have an abnormal fear of dirt or contamination .
“If I don’t wash vegetables well, that will only affect the taste by 0 . 1 point, a minuscule difference . Cutting the vegetables will affect the taste by 0 . 1 point, washing hands before cooking by 0 . 1 point, personal hygiene by 0 . 1 point, and the maintenance of the kitchenware by 0 . 1 point, it has a sum of 0 . 5 point, namely half a point . That’s too much . ”
A very straightforward logic, that is, every little bit counts . Now I finally understand why I have interviewed so many chefs and they all have many rules while cooking . It isn’t old-fashioned and conservative . Even if a tiny detail isn’t noticeable, many such details could directly change the taste of a dish .
Boss Yuan makes the best of this logic . So I believe that he could stand out from the crowd in the Sino-Japan exchange meeting . That is beyond all doubt . ]
“Great . This young man had sharper eyes . ” Yuan Zhou cut the newspaper again and nodded his head earnestly .
There were less than 10 newspapers and thus, Yuan Zhou finished reading all of them very soon .

However, Yuan Zhou didn’t surf the Internet immediately to check other contents after he read the compliments . Instead, he started to read books about cooked wheaten food first as that had become his habit .
Just when Yuan Zhou checked the mission, Wu Hai had aroused the public indignation at the other side .
Yes . Public indignation .
[Sigh . Nothing can be done about my handsomeness . Birds that get up early always have delicacies to eat,] from Very Handsome Wu Hai Today .
Wu Hai changed his nickname again and it was a very narcissistic name .
[Going mad so early in the morning,] from Tired Man Man .
[Exactly . We seldom see you get up so early, but this kind of mad behavior is unwelcome . Go back to sleep,] from Queen Jiang Changxi .
[Are you stupid?] from Glistening Ling Hong .
[Morning, Brother Wu . Morning, Sister Jiang . Morning, Sister Man Man . Morning, Brother Ling Hong,] from Legal Loli Mu Xiaoyun .
By the way, this nickname of Mu Xiaoyun wasn’t given by herself . Instead, it was Jiang Changxi who gave her this nickname in this group .
[I know you are envious of me . After all, I’m way too handsome and hence deserve such rewards . And you mortals don’t have the luck to possess it,] from Very Handsome Wu Hai Today .
[By the way, go and check my Moments if anybody doesn’t understand what I mean,] from Very Handsome Wu Hai Today .
Once he said that, the group members contrarily became curious .
They all knew that Wu Hai was basically living his life based on America’s time zone . Nothing could wake him up except Boss Yuan’s breakfast . But today, he unexpectedly woke up so early and even wanted them to check his Moments that had seldom been updated .
As a result, the group members that got up early all went to check his Moments .
Wu Hai’s Moments was seldom updated . As soon as they opened the page of his Moments, they caught sight of six rows of pictures along with words .
“I just said ‘Happy New Year’ to Boss Yuan early in the morning and he gave me this big gift . Sigh . Isn’t it because I’m way too handsome? But don’t envy me . Let’s disperse now . ”
They tapped the first picture and found it was the meal ticket drawn by Yuan Zhou himself . Apart from that, there were three high-pixel pictures of the front side, the back side and distant view of the ticket .
[Shit, damn it, dear me! The three exclamations can’t even express my feelings . Is this a meal ticket? Is it from Boss Yuan’s restaurant? Is it the Chinese New Year’s gift?] Glistening Ling Hong sent three consecutive questions at a time .
[I don’t care whether it’s true or not . Just give it to me . Otherwise, you’ll end up dead,] from Queen Jiang Changxi .
[I don’t care whether it’s true or not . Just give it to me . Otherwise, you’ll end up dead . Agreed,] from Tired Man Man .
[Agreed plus one,] from Glistening Ling Hong .
[Hoho . You want my meal ticket? Go and dream about it . This handsome man has gone back to sleep again,] from Very Handsome Wu Hai Today .
Having sent this message, Wu Hai turned off his phone at once . When he lay down on the bed, he couldn’t help saying smilingly .
“Tsk-tsk . It’s so exciting to run immediately after showing off . ”
He naturally didn’t know that these people in the group had prepared to pay a visit to Yuan Zhou to say give Chinese New Year greetings and were prepared to go at once .
These people had originally intended to go there later . After all, it was only 7 o’clock in the morning and it was slightly early to visit for giving New Year wishes now .
Not until they saw the red packet that Wu Hai had received for wishing a Happy Chinese New Year did they feel it was the kingly way to do the same earlier .
“Achoo . ” Having attracted so much attention from so many people, Yuan Zhou suddenly sneezed while he was reading a book . Then, the system came out even before he could figure out whether it was something good or not .
Yuan Zhou was a little surprised with the system coming out at that time . After all, the system didn’t even answer him when he got up in the morning and said “Happy New Year” to it .
The system displayed, “Congratulations that you have finished the mission . The reward is now available to be received . ”
