“Little brat, what do you mean? Isn’t this old man your instructor?” Xing Min reacted first .

“You are right . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“Even if I’m not his instructor, you aren’t either . ” Lee Yanyi went up and directly interrupted Xing Min’s words .

“How would you know that? What if the young man feels that I look kind? What do you know about it?” Xing Min fought back without any hesitation .

“That guy is too prideful . Do you think I wouldn’t know that?” Lee Yanyi revealed a manner of “I know everything . “

“Are you telling the truth? I feel that he is way too modest . ” Xing Min didn’t reason with Lee Yanyi at all when he met him .

“The older you are, the more muddled you become . ” Lee Yanyi said after a humph .

Yuan Zhou watched them for a while at the side silently and then said softly to the two helpless assistants, “I’m leaving first . Goodbye . “

“Take care, Boss Yuan . ” Yan Jia was more familiar with him and thus he nodded directly .

Xing Min’s assistant nevertheless just nodded his head before he went back to his teacher straightforwardly .

What a joke! If their assistants didn’t stay with them, there would probably be bloodshed this time .

Yuan Zhou greeted his customers first and then went back into his own room for a rest .

Among the customers that followed him here, only one person left besides Man Man, Tang Xi, Wu Hai, Ling Hong and Gao Shuai . That person was Chen Wei .

Chen Wei is said to have affairs to deal with in the evening, so he went back and prepared to come the next morning .

“So interesting! Wonder if there will be any food ingredients that I have never seen tomorrow?” Yuan Zhou asked himself expectantly before he went to bed .

The mornings of Chengdu were usually foggy when it was cold . Actually, it wasn’t smog, but thin fog, like a fine gauze, enveloping the entire city .

“I forgot to set the alarm clock . ” Yuan Zhou muttered vaguely while sitting on the bed .

After a short moment, he took the phone and found that it was still early . It was the exact time for him to jog .

“I’m so smart . ” While Yuan Zhou was wearing the sportswear, he felt lucky that he slept after buying the sportswear last night .

“Hu La”, the cold water on his face made him more clear-headed .

Yuan Zhou muttered while stroking his own face, “It’s said that man will get more handsome if he uses cold water to wash the face . “

After that, Yuan Zhou went downstairs to jog . He didn’t really like doing morning exercises in the gym of the hotel, thus he directly went to the garden of the hotel to jog .

One lap, two laps . In a little while, Yuan Zhou encountered a person, Chu Xiao .

He was also dressed in the grey sportswear and appeared in the garden .

“It’s not fearful to wear the same clothes, but whoever is ugly will be embarrassed . ” Yuan Zhou took a deep breath and muttered inwardly .

Although Chu Xiao appeared to look like a prodigal, his appearance was still considered to be qualified . However, Yuan Zhou had a six-pack and a solemn temperament as well as a mature uncle style . On the aspect of appearance, the two people were equally matched .

“Hey, you are also jogging?” Unexpectedly, Chu Xiao greeted Yuan Zhou voluntarily .

“Yes . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“You can probably increase your knowledge in the precious ingredient match today . ” Chu Xiao always spoke so bluntly .

He had known that Yuan Zhou was merely the boss of a tiny restaurant . Although he made an amazing performance yesterday, the food ingredients were all ordinary ones and most of them were frequently seen . Therefore, Chu Xiao really didn’t mean anything else .

He just believed the match today could help Yuan Zhou to increase his knowledge .

“Um . If you want to broaden your scope of knowledge, you can come to my small restaurant . ” After a nod, Yuan Zhou said with an earnest expression .

“You can use strange ingredients to cook strange cuisines?” Chu Xiao asked curiously .

“No . Just some ingredients and craftsmanship that you have seldom seen,” Yuan Zhou said modestly .

“Haw-haw-haw . Things that I have seldom seen?” Chu Xiao shook his head and couldn’t help laughing out .

“Yes . Also some others that even I have never seen . ” Yuan Zhou’s expression always looked so earnest .

“That’s normal . ” Chu Xiao felt it was quite normal for Yuan Zhou not to have seen that . But for him, it must be a funny joke .

Chu Xiao had stayed in so many luxurious hotels since he was eleven and hence had seen a lot of precious food ingredients .

However, he never knew that Yuan Zhou had a thing called “System” .

“Ok . See you in the contest . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head without giving an affirmative or negative answer . Since his exercise time had ended, he directly said goodbye to him .

“Spend some more time on studying . ” Chu Xiao said like a predecessor .

Yuan Zhou laughed ironically behind him, but he didn’t try to correct Chu Xiao . Instead, he went back to the hotel straightforwardly to change clothes and prepared to have breakfast in the cafeteria .

. . .

“A nice breakfast . ” When Yuan Zhou got to the cafeteria, he sighed with emotion while looking at the abundant and healthy breakfasts .

The breakfast was cooked with the ingredients that they had guessed yesterday . Those that could be cooked were all made into the breakfast today . Of course, the dinner last night had also been cooked with those 500 food ingredients .

Similar to the opening time yesterday, the contest today also commenced at 9:00 sharp .

The several people including Wu Hai arrived very early today . They sat in the front row ahead of time and just waited to watch how Yuan Zhou act cool .

The preliminary test at the door was removed today, therefore Yuan Zhou entered the banquet hall earlier than yesterday by five minutes . As soon as he entered the door, his great fan, Tang Xi, spoke .

“Come on, Boss Yuan!” Tang Xi encouraged him bluntly .

“Go ahead . ” Wu Hai and Ling Hong pretended to be indifferent to him .

“Um . ” Yuan Zhou nodded his head .

“I hereby announce the exchange activity of the precious food ingredients commences now . ” The chairman of China Chefs’ Alliance changed into a marine blue business suit today, which made him appear much younger . He announced straightway .

“After the exchange activity, a small part of the precious ingredients won’t be used to cook dishes . Please follow the rules . ” The Precious Ingredients Research PhD stood up right after that and then said .

“Correct . Contestant No . 1, please start now . ” The chairman of the alliance carried a smile on his face as usual .

“One moment, please . ” It was Fang Tian who was at the third position .

“What’s the matter, Master Fang?” The chairman looked at Fang Tian amiably .

Fang Tian appeared very thin and was about 35 years old . He was quite cultured and likewise talked softly . He didn’t actually seem to be a chef at all .

“I want to watch the whole course at close quarters, but don’t take part in the contest anymore . I hope you can approve of that . ” Fang Tian said straightforwardly without hesitation .

“Why?” The chairman looked at the other two people at the side and then asked .

“These two people are all young talents . It’s inappropriate for a middle-aged man to compete against them . ” Fang Tian shrugged and said with a free and easy tone .

“Please, let us discuss it . ” The chairman didn’t agree to him immediately .

“Ok . Please do approve of my request . ” Fang Tian slightly bowed .

“One moment, please . ” The chairman signaled to turn off the microphone and only then did they start to discuss .

The banquet hall was lost in silence for a while . Some of the chefs that had failed yesterday didn’t understand that while some others nodded their head approvingly .

That’s right . The chefs that had failed the contest yesterday could also come to watch . The reason why the precious ingredients were so precious was that even the chefs seldom saw them, let alone the varieties of those precious ingredients .

However, they could only watch the whole course off the stage . The request proposed by Fang Tian was fairly good based on the aspect of increasing knowledge .

Five minutes later,

“Quiet, please . ” The chairman said .

“After our joint discussion, we decide to approve of Fang Tian’s request . Meanwhile, we specially allow him to watch at close quarters without touching . ” The chairman announced the result .

Then, there were only Yuan Zhou and Chu Xiao left in the contest . Now, it became the competition between the two of them . It was just that who, among them, would be the one to increase knowledge?

Yuan Zhou was quite expectant!
