National Tide 1980.

Chapter 979 Main Task
In the days that followed, Ning Weimin finally started the main task of returning this time.

The first is to formally determine the candidates he wants to take abroad, and to go through the formalities for these selected people to work abroad as soon as possible.

It should be said that the people selected by Ning Weimin are roughly the same as the original plan.

Jiang Dachun, Xiaocha, Yang Feng, Xu Chunyan, and Dai Hong, who were sent by Ning Weimin to Maxim's restaurant as early as last year, were all Ning Weimin's favorite candidates.

Now these five people have not only greatly improved their culinary skills, but they can be said to be talents in both Chinese and Western cuisines. Each of them has already made psychological preparations for this matter in advance.

In fact, none of them were unhappy when the day actually came and they were officially notified.

This is going abroad, and it is going to the only developed country in Asia-Japan!
Nowadays in China, people who want to go abroad are crazy, and the society is completely irrational.

The general consensus is that whether you're doing well here or not, you're better off getting out.

How about in today's society, everyone is searching for overseas relations?
Or how about a girl who wanted to go out so much that she even used the trick of marrying a foreigner?

How about not so many stars, whether they sing or act in movies, go abroad?

Speaking of the last social phenomenon, the common people became more resentful.

Think about it, it's hard for everyone to get acquainted with a movie actor or singer.

As a result, the other party went abroad as soon as he became famous.

Then who do we look at and who do we listen to?

But having said that, this can also prove how attractive it is to go abroad.

Now everyone knows that there are long queues in front of many embassies that can apply for visas in the embassy district of Beijing every day.

But even if they study abroad at their own expense, none of them can pass the visa.

Think about it, it is not easy for college students, graduate students, and heads of many units to figure it out.

"Go abroad if you have the ability" has almost become the mantra of senior intellectuals and college students.

However, some of them have such abilities, and they are still sent abroad by the government, so why not make people excited?
To be honest, they don't have much awareness.

I never thought that I shouldered the mission of promoting Chinese food culture, what a meaningful thing to do in Japan.

But who doesn't want to open another window of life to see the colorful world outside, experience a different kind of humanities, experience leading technology and rich material life?
Even if it is just as a passer-by, if you can go out and see the world, this life is not in vain.

And the family will be proud of them and feel radiant.

Besides, there are extra work subsidies when you go out, and you can buy duty-free electrical appliances when you come back.

Isn't it everyone's dream to have such an affordable and great thing?
Especially the brothers Jiang Dachun and Xiaocha.

Because they offended their leaders by resigning at the beginning, they were banned from the industry by their original units.

Since then, he has been hiding his name, hiding in Maxim's restaurant and living a miserable life.

Being able to get such an opportunity to work abroad is of course more meaningful to them than others.

As the saying goes, don't steam steamed buns to win your breath.

Think about it, the leaders who gave them maggots have been domineering for so many years, and they have not yet been able to go abroad, but they have gone out. What does this mean?
It shows that they are all masters with real skills!
I suffered unfair treatment in my original unit, and my talent was buried for a long time!
Their original leaders, not only could not know people and make good use of them, but like Gao Qi and Cai Jing in "Water Margin", they were treacherous and jealous of talents, which forced them to leave.

It's all right now, they don't need to keep their names incognito anymore, and they can walk the rivers and lakes openly and aboveboard.

If this incident gets to the ears of colleagues in the original unit, it will not only discredit the leader who gave them maggots in the first place, but also definitely piss off this narrow-minded old boy.

In this way, how could they not be grateful to Ning Weimin?
So they rolled their arms and rolled their sleeves with high spirits, and they rolled their arms and sleeves with high spirits.

Regardless of the spirit and ideological consciousness, he is a level higher than the other three people.

Chong Ning Weimin gave them such an opportunity to fulfill their dignity, in order to repay Ning Weimin's appreciation.

They will also do their best to make the altar palace famous overseas and make the little devils feel convinced.

As for the changes in staffing, it is not without.

In addition to the fact that there were two chefs whom Ning Weimin was optimistic about, because one had an old man in his family who was sick and the other was pregnant, it was difficult to make the trip, so Ning Weimin had to choose someone else.

In addition, it must be said that it was caused by the retired chefs hired by Zhang Shihui and Du Yang.

You know, Ning Weimin has a forward vision.

He is well aware of how powerful these Sichuan-style home-cooked dishes are to conquer the taste buds of foreigners, such as Kung Pao Chicken, Yuxiang Pork Shredded, Mapo Tofu, Twice-cooked Pork, Husband and Wife’s Lung Slices, and Shredded Chicken Cold Noodles.

Although most foreigners are not good at spicy food, the mysterious power from China can make most people addicted to it once, grinning their teeth and not being able to eat enough.

No way, that's what addiction is all about.

The first experience is often not very good, but the feeling must be clear enough that you will never forget it at the first contact.

Although it may be like being struck by lightning, a little frightened, and I dare not try again.

But it doesn't take long before the unforgettable experience encourages you to regain your courage.

Then there is pain and happiness, completely degenerate.

Alcohol is like this, tobacco is like this, Coca-Cola is like this, soybean juice and preserved eggs are like this, and many home-cooked dishes in Sichuan cuisine are also like this.

So Ning Weimin took a fancy to Master Wu who had retired from the Emei Restaurant, and wanted to take this master to Tokyo with him.

In this way, his Tangong branch is equivalent to Chuanlu flavor, with an extra sharp knife.

Also, out of understanding of Japanese eating habits.

Of course Ning Weimin also understood the importance of vegetarian dishes, so he also wanted to bring "Vegetarian Liu" retired Master Liu.

In addition to being proficient in the signature varieties of "Vegetarian Liu", the chef is also good at making vegetarian chicken, yuba shreds, and vegetarian assorted dishes, and is also good at making vegetarian soup with vegan ingredients.

Therefore, the vegetarian dishes he cooks are extremely delicious and can achieve "vegetarian dishes are not vegetarian", that is, the taste is comparable to meat dishes.

If his craftsmanship is combined with the palace vegetarian dishes inherited and restored by Tangong Restaurant, it may overwhelm the more famous "Gongde Forest" in the capital that specializes in vegetarian banquets.

But the problem is that Master Liu is easy to talk about, but Master Wu is difficult to deal with.

Dare to feel that Zhang Shihui and Du Yang have already taken a fancy to this master chef who is good at Sichuan cuisine.

In this matter, these two boys are still fighting like a hot kiln, so I didn't say who is willing to take a step back.

How could they want Ning Weimin to get involved again and make a cross?
Therefore, under the common complaints of the two subordinates, Ning Weimin was reluctant to go his own way, so he could only sit down and discuss together.

Fortunately, going abroad is very attractive to most people, and Master Wu himself wants to visit Japan.

In this way, after discussing with several people, they finally made a plan that compromised with each other.

Master Wu first went to Japan to work for half a year, and then went to a different place with Du Yang to work for another year or two.

Almost when Du Yang's branch is established, Master Wu will return to the altar palace in the capital.

This plan is very scientific. Anyway, Du Yang still has a lot of preliminary work to do to open a branch, and he will not be able to open fire for a while. Ning Weimin happened to rely on Master Wu's strength during this period.

After all, Master Wu is over [-] years old, and he is definitely not used to living in a foreign country, and it is not suitable to stay for too long, about half a year is just right.

Anyway, Ning Weimin only needed a few classic home-cooked dishes, and Master Wu helped him bring two qualified apprentices out, so there was enough time.

In this way, after a long process of consultation and statistics, the final candidates for going abroad are determined as follows.

The back kitchen is led by five team leaders, assisted by two external master chefs, [-] experienced chefs selected from the original groups, six service staff in the front hall, and two masters who are proficient in Japanese. security officer.

Plus a pipa, a dulcimer, and two folk music musicians.

In the end, I had to bring a graduate of the Sculpture Department of the Academy of Arts and Crafts, a total of 31 noodle masters who were instructed by Professor Dong, the successor of noodle soup.

And when the candidate is confirmed, the next thing to do is to discuss the menu of the Japanese branch with these chefs.

And also prepare some things that can be taken out of the country directly according to the menu.

After all, there is still a big gap between the eating habits of China and Japan, and the products there are also very different from those in China.

For example, Japan’s diet is similar to ours, and it is rich in seafood and high-quality beef, as well as seasonings imported from the West.

Therefore, their diet is often dominated by high-grade seafood and beef.

The quality of seafood, soy sauce, rice vinegar, miso, shrimp oil, curry and pepper, sesame, perilla, milk, cheese, and butter is very good, and there are many choices, so there is no need to worry about the supply of raw materials in this regard.

But on the other hand, due to the small size of the country and the lack of products, the Japanese are not used to mutton and seafood, and it is difficult to get raw materials.

In addition, such as pepper, aniseed, chili, cumin, Piper, woody, Angelica, Gansong, Magnolia, Chuanqiong, Huoxiang, Caoguo, fennel, coriander, jasmine, hawthorn, lotus root, water chestnut, yuba, Vermicelli, fungus, white fungus, day lily, mature vinegar, oyster sauce, five-spice powder, thirteen spices, sweet noodle sauce, sesame paste, tofu in sauce, chive flowers, preserved eggs, salted duck eggs, Pixian Douban...

These are common in the capital, but there are spices, seasonings and accessories, tea, and drinks that are unique to China. Where can I find them in Japan?
To put it bluntly, although the current cross-border trade between the two countries is increasing significantly every year.

But it is far from enough. So far, it has not been widely used in food, and even Chinese kitchen knives are not easy to buy in Tokyo.

Therefore, many things still need to be considered in advance, and the planning should be more comprehensive, so as to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, and avoid detours.

For example, even though many of the dishes made of mutton and river fish are famous dishes in the capital, Ning Weimin decided to greatly reduce them.

The seasonings, accessories, and even seeds that can be brought over first, it is best to bring them in a suitcase, so as not to miss them when they should be used, and then catch them blind.

There are also some exhibits that have to be considered, for example, the replicas of the costumes of the emperor and concubines that director Li Hanxiang sold to him, and some special art works in Beijing, such as silk figurines, mane figurines, and feeding utensils Bonsai.

So the easy-to-pull trolley case came in handy again, and each person was given two to hold these things.

As for daily necessities, each person will only need a shoulder bag to carry some personal clothing and daily necessities with them.

Everything else is borne at public expense, and will be purchased uniformly after going to Japan.

It can be said that this, together with Ning Weimin's 32-member labor group, is essentially a transportation group for Chinese seasonings.

Don't look at the things they sent over, it's really not worth anything in China, but the actual profit is higher than that of selling white powder.

Just one thing, don't let the people at the airport find the kitchen knife in their luggage, especially when they arrive at Tokyo Narita Airport, otherwise the Japanese police will have a huge misunderstanding.

They would definitely think that Huaxia had come to a "chopper team" and wanted to go to Tokyo to make waves, seek revenge or compete for territory with the local Yakuza.

It has to be said that the arrangement made by Ning Weimin made most people who knew about it feel happy.

The more they thought about it, the more ridiculous it became.

Because under normal circumstances, most people go abroad these days because they hate having to bring their home with them.

Who doesn't know that foreign prices are high?
What's more, the amount of foreign exchange specially approved by foreign personnel in China is pitifully small.

Most people pack their luggage for going abroad, including pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, soap and toothpaste, clothes, shoes and hats.

In addition to daily necessities, a pack of Jinghua brand instant noodles worth [-] cents or [-] taels of food stamps and a pack of instant pickled vegetables worth [-] cents can be packed as much as you want.

For nothing else, only after taking everything out can the viability be increased and the cost of living effectively reduced.

This group trip at Ketangong Restaurant is very interesting.

On the contrary, Ning Weimin arranged for them to take a bunch of domestic worthless things out.

Instead, go there and spend a lot of money to provide everyone with daily necessities.

Needless to say, in the eyes of those who don't understand the situation in Japan, Ning Weimin's decision seems unbelievable and a bit crazy.

In private, they often talked about Ning Weimin's arrangements over and over again, telling them as jokes and chatting.

How many of them knew that Ning Weimin was actually trying to save money.

And that's the only way to save a lot of money.

Even though I worked for a few days at a convenience store in Japan, the minimum wage I earned was enough for a box of spices.

But if the things they brought over were bought in Japan, the original price would not be the same. This is two different things.

It can only be said that the sight heights of migrant workers and leaders are absolutely different.

In many cases, some problems can only be seen by leaders, and ordinary employees cannot see them.

In fact, behind many seemingly ridiculous things, there are normal logical reasons.
