Although good things indeed needed to be shared with everyone, the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ made by Yuan Zhou was definitely an exception. It was exactly because they had never eaten it that Xiang Yang and the others didn’t want to share it.

They didn’t expect to see three people when they came over. Moreover, Qu Yun had said something like that. Xiang Yang and the others instantly knew that their idea of monopolizing it couldn’t be realized.

“I say, chef Xiang, chef Wu, you guys are too unkind. You didn’t even invite us to eat the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made by head chef Yuan. Do you still remember the few more meals you guys had when you came to Chengdu before us?” Xiaowang smiled and moved closer to Wu kun and Lin fan.

There was even some pride and anticipation on his face. He couldn’t help it. Little Wang had only eaten ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ a few times. Moreover, he had never eaten the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou before. He was really looking forward to it, especially when he had been eating the dishes cooked by Yuan Zhou recently. The delicious taste made him look forward to the taste of ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ even more.

It was all thanks to him that they were able to catch President Zhan this time. If he hadn’t gone out to look for food and wanted to eat some Chengdu specialty snacks, they wouldn’t have known that President Zhan, who had told them that he would rest in the hotel for a day and not go to master chef Restaurant for a meal, would have already dressed up and planned to go out.

In order to better taste the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’, and also to dispel the idea of little Wang and the others following him, Zhan Changfa painfully said that he wouldn’t be going to the restaurant for a meal today. He considered it as making time to sort out what he had gained previously.

As a chef, although Qu Yun was reluctant to do so, he still felt that Zhan Changfa’s suggestion was very reliable, so he didn’t object. As for the Secretary, little Wang, he was a professional secretary, so naturally he would do whatever the president said.

As for sneaking out to find some snacks, if he accidentally found Taoxi road or something, it could only mean that he was unfamiliar with the place and took the wrong way.

He didn’t expect to be so lucky to meet Zhan Changfa, who was also planning to leave.

In fact, it wasn’t really good luck. Both of them were planning to go to Taoxi road, which required them to line up in advance. How could they have different departure times?

And the first thing that Lil ‘Wang did when he saw Zhan Changfa was not to stop the president, but to call out Qu Yun from next door with his sixth sense. Then, it became the scene that Xiang Yang and the others saw.

Due to Zhan Changfa’s status, Xiang Yang and Xiang Wan couldn’t say anything. When they thought about how the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup was going to be given out, they felt as if their hearts and livers were being dug out.

Seeing that it was getting late, the few of them no longer hesitated. They were afraid that if they were late, they would not be able to eat even a little bit of ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’. Therefore, they did not bother arguing and got into the car one after another, heading toward Taoxi road.

In the car, it was inevitable that there would be a war of words because they could eat more later. When he said it, he was shocked. This time, President Zhan finally saw that the chefs in his Association were not only good at cooking but also very eloquent. They were much better at talking than him during the whole process.

“Why don’t we go back and organize a Speech Contest? we can just talk about the dishes we’re good at.” Zhan Changfa felt that there was a need for some Reformation in their Fujian cuisine.

Especially after he got in touch with Yuan Zhou this time, he found that he answered all the questions of those who asked him for advice without holding anything back at all. Yuan Zhou’s cooking skills were getting better and better day by day. Perhaps there was an inevitable connection between the two. Perhaps, if everyone were to communicate more frankly, there would be unexpected results.

Especially now, when he saw Xiang Yang and Qu Yun going back and forth with facts and reasons, and no one was at a disadvantage, he was even more determined to this idea.

Wu kun and the other three, who had been arguing about who should eat more or less of the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’, felt a chill on their backs at the same time. However, they looked around and found nothing, so they continued their discussion.

The most important thing at the moment was to eat more, so Wu kun and the others continued to argue.

Zhan Changfa was speechless.

Was he the only one who didn’t have any food? That would not do. This definitely would not do. Thus, Zhan Changfa rolled up his sleeves and joined in the fight. He would never give up on the matter of rations.

The journey was only a 20-minute drive, but when the five of them got off the car, they got a satisfactory answer, which was to split it equally. No one could take advantage of it.

The journey here was a little complicated, but Zhan Changfa and the others had set off earlier. When they arrived, they were just in time to line up. They did not manage to get into the first line, but they were still in the first few places in the second line. There was no way that the last place in the first line had been snatched by a fatty who weighed two hundred pounds.

Liao wenkai, who had taken a seat ahead of the others, was completely unaware. He was very proud that he could go in and eat directly in a while, so he didn’t have to care about other details.

As for Zhan Changfa, he was mourning the failure of his little scheme.

At first, Zhan Changfa thought that if he was in the first line, but Qu Yun and the others were in the second line, then those who went in to eat first would naturally be able to enjoy a bowl of ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ all to themselves. He didn’t expect that they were not strong enough and were all in the second line. Then, there was nothing more to say. This was fate.

It wasn’t the first time that they came to eat Yuan Zhou’s dishes. Obviously, Zhan Changfa and the others were very impetuous and anxious today, especially Qu Yun. If it wasn’t for the sake of maintaining the order in the line, he wouldn’t have just been walking in circles. Instead, he would have done some other intense actions to ease his mood.

In fact, Qu Yun couldn’t be blamed. His specialty dish was ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’. Moreover, he had used it to entertain foreign guests and had even won an award. Not just any ordinary guest, but a Princess Consort. Therefore, before Yuan Zhou’s appearance, the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ dish was definitely the most outstanding one in China.

With the reputation of building a pot, it could be said that Qu Yun ‘s’ Buddha Jumps Over the Wall ‘was the best of the best. It was not something that ordinary people could eat. In any case, little Wang had never eaten it before. He had only eaten it a few times, and it was made by Qu Yun’s disciples.

Ever since Yuan Zhou became famous, Qu Yun had been waiting for Yuan Zhou to serve new min cuisine. His Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup had already hit a bottleneck, but he didn’t give up on innovation.

However, a person was already at the top. No matter how much he closed his door, he still felt that it wasn’t right. The appearance of Yuan Zhou just happened to give Qu Yun hope. However, he had been waiting for several years. Fortunately, he didn’t have to wait for long before he finally got what he wanted. How could he not be excited?

Qu Yun had ordered the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ as soon as he had arrived. However, he had arrived late, and it was not the appointed time yet. He had thought that he would have to wait for a few more days. He had not expected Zhan Changfa and the others to order it secretly. Now, the opportunity had come.

Therefore, Qu Yun appeared to be particularly restless, which was more complicated than the feeling of returning home. Moreover, he couldn’t even imagine the taste of the ‘Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ made by Yuan Zhou. Therefore, he appeared to be more and more anxious.

“We’ll be able to go in soon. Shouldn’t you calm down first?”

Zhan Changfa looked at the fatty in front of him and estimated the time. He knew that they were not far from entering. He looked at Qu Yun, who was still walking in circles, and felt that he was an eyesore.

He was already so old, yet he was still so restless. He had simply embarrassed the Association. As the chairman, Chairman Zhan expressed that he had to be constantly worried. Otherwise, if head chef Yuan saw that all the chefs of the min cuisine Association were so inexperienced, it would not be worth it. He suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier.
