Gourmet Food Supplier-Chapter 2716

“Elder Fang, you must be joking.”

Guo penghao had changed from his confrontational look on the phone to a humble, polite, and gentlemanly one, which was in line with the temperament of a CEO of a business.

From his respectful expression, one could tell that he respected elder Fang from the bottom of his heart. Otherwise, he would not have restrained his temper in front of him.

Don’t look at Guo penghao, who looked gentle and polite, but he was an impatient person. He could be said to be a firecracker, which could be lit at the slightest touch. You could see it from the way he got along with Lei ti.

Elder Fang’s full name was Fang Yiming. It could be said that he was just like his name. He was a classic example of not making a name for himself, but once he made a name for himself, he would amaze the world. As the successor of the head chef of the royal family, his status was really high. Even old Ma and the others respected him a lot.

In the beginning, Fang Yiming had no interest in cooking. Unlike other people who had a solid foundation at the age of three or five, he suddenly developed a strong interest in cooking when he was a teenager. That was why he started learning how to cook and inherited his family’s legacy. As for the rumor that he learned how to cook to please a beautiful woman, it was just an anecdote. Now, no one would dare to ask elder Fang directly.

Fang Yiming was very familiar with Mr. MA and the others, but unlike Mr. MA who was disheartened and lived in seclusion in the mountains, Fang Yiming had retired when he reached the age and was wandering around. He planned to take advantage of his young age and flexible legs to walk more.

When the old man decided to go out, he was already 70 years old. He felt that his legs were still nimble, and it was a fact that he was in good spirits. So he said goodbye to his old friends and his disciples and Grand-disciples and went everywhere. He not only left his footprints all over China, but also went to many places abroad.

Old master Fang, who had been trapped in the kitchen for most of his life, said that he wanted to enjoy different sceneries in his limited time. Therefore, he mostly went to scenic places with beautiful scenery, mountains, and lakes.

He was in good spirits, and his hair was dyed black. If he didn’t see his ID card, he wouldn’t believe that Mr. Fang was 70 years old. People would believe that he was 60 years old. Therefore, the journey was very smooth. This time, he heard some news about Akara’s meeting from abroad and suddenly decided to return home.

Before Yuan Zhou came into the world, old Fang had already stepped down and didn’t care much about the cooking world. When head chef yang invited others to the knife-sealing banquet, he really didn’t manage to invite him. When the old man said that he had already retired, he directly sent him away.

Since Yuan Zhou’s craftsmanship was better than theirs and his status was also higher than theirs, he naturally had no other choice but to refuse him. Therefore, Grandpa Fang had never seen or heard of Yuan Zhou.

After he became a hands-off manager, he didn’t even ask some small questions of the direct disciples. He had completely let himself go and was immersed in the beautiful scenery. If he hadn’t been paying attention to the news of Akara’s meeting that he wanted to attend, he wouldn’t have known that Yuan Zhou was invited to attend. From there, he learned some news about Yuan Zhou. After returning to his own Hui cuisine base camp, he even heard of Yuan Zhou’s name like thunder piercing his ears.

As for how Lei ti and elder Fang got together, there were many stories behind it. The most direct one was related to the recipe book that Lei ti had obtained.

Because of the argument with Guo penghao, Lei di had forgotten to tell Guo penghao that there would also be Hui cuisine’s rice dumplings for breakfast tomorrow morning. By the time he remembered, he had already hung up the phone. Therefore, he felt like he had gotten back at Guo penghao.

“Anyway, it’s not that I didn’t say anything. Hao’ Zi hung up on his own accord.”

Sometimes, a middle-aged man would become really childish when he became a child. He would haggle over every single detail and even argue over every little thing until his face and ears turned red. For example, Fang Heng and Wang Hong had almost fought each other for the quota of drinking at night just to bring one more person or one less person. It was a small matter, but not a single thing about the delicacies cooked by Yuan Zhou was a small matter.

The next day, when Lei di saw Guo penghao and an old man lining up for breakfast, he had a complicated feeling. The key was that when he ate rice dumplings for breakfast, he clearly felt rows of knives stabbing him. If they could be materialized, he would probably have become a Porcupine.

In the end, Lei ti brought Guo penghao and Mr. Fang to line up for lunch. Obviously, he paid for the lunch. As for whether he told them about the dinner, it was still a mystery before the start.

“Alright, you can only order three dishes. You can order by yourself. Of course, elder Fang, you can order as many dishes as you want.”

Lei ti must have been in Rong city for a long time, so he was very familiar with changing his facial expression. He was definitely a different person when he was with Guo penghao and Fang Yiming.

Guo penghao didn’t care about Lei TI’s discrimination. He directly said to Fang Yiming,””Elder Fang’s rice dumplings in the morning are not the peak of head chef Yuan’s culinary skills. Every dish of his is delicious. You can order anything that interests you. If you can’t finish it, it’s fine. I can help you.”

He had a look of righteousness and was almost patting his chest to make a promise. His expression was very sincere.

“Sure, no problem. I’ll have to trouble little Guo then,” Fang Yiming said with a smile.

It was only natural for him to call Guo penghao “little Guo” since he was several decades older than him. Although the rice dumplings in the morning were amazing, they were still not eye-catching enough because he had eaten the ones personally made by Mr. Zhang at his peak. However, Fang Yiming felt that Yuan Zhou was really amazing because he knew the eight major cuisines.

The old man’s cooking skills were also extraordinary, but because he was good at Hui cuisine, and China couldn’t say that Hui cuisine could represent other cuisines and the whole country, it wasn’t without reason that he didn’t attend the meeting even if his cooking skills reached the standard.

As for Yuan Zhou, it was definitely a blow to him. After all, his craftsmanship was already one of the best and he was also well-rounded. That was why he went to the meeting.

Fang Yiming didn’t know about this. For the time being, he was looking forward to it, but he wasn’t completely convinced.

The old man felt that he had done a good job. Why couldn’t he attend the meeting? he was a little upset, but he was used to being open-minded all his life. He just wanted to come here to broaden his horizons and test Yuan Zhou’s knowledge. At the same time, he wanted to guide the younger generation. As the current number one chef, it wasn’t wrong for him to say that. The only problem was that he had a problem with the person he was looking for.

The Anhui cuisine restaurant elder was naturally familiar with it, and he was so skilled that he could order anything he wanted. Therefore, whether it was Guo penghao or Lei ti, they both handed the matter of ordering food to him and let him order freely.

Although old master Fang was smiling, he still followed the rules. Each of them ordered three dishes and that was it. He usually ordered two dishes, one meat dish and one vegetable dish. The portion was small and only one bowl of rice was enough. Today, he had an extra dish and it should be enough.

As for Lei ti and Guo penghao, they had already taken Lei TI’s previous request to heart. After ordering the dishes, they didn’t order anything else. Lei ti and Guo penghao didn’t try to persuade them either. In any case, they just had to add more if it wasn’t enough. There was no need to force it. Yuan Zhou’s strength was there for all to see.

When the first dish was served, Grandpa Fang was looking around to observe the restaurant and Yuan Zhou after having a short conversation with Lei ti and the others.

Before he could observe Yuan Zhou carefully, the dishes were served.

The Tiger skin tofu had been cooking Anhui cuisine for his entire life. Even though it had been a few years since he last made it, the taste memory that was deeply engraved in his bones would not disappear so easily. When he smelled this familiar and unique fragrance, Fang Yiming immediately knew what dish it was.
