Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 204 204. The First Time (Seeking a Monthly Pass)
[I'm not a scumbag, so neither is Li Xiao. 】

Li Xiao took out his mobile phone and was about to call a Didi home.

Although he doesn't have to get up early to work, but considering that a person drinking in a bar alone may trigger some strange plots, such as a drunken girl's strike-up, rescue of a girl surrounded by club members, or a drugged girl rushing to Li Xiao Seek refuge around.

After all, as the winner of the system, the center of the world, and a male youth with both good looks and wisdom, it is only natural that he encounters such a thing in a bar.

Seeing Li Xiao's actions, the squad leader quickly said

"I drove here, why don't you take you back first?"

"Isn't that good? And you're not drinking? You can't drive while drinking. There are thousands of roads, and safety comes first."

Li Xiao quickly reminded him that he was afraid that his monitor would do something against the law.

"What are you thinking? The driver is driving, and I happen to have some documents in the car, so I can chat with you."

The squad leader looked at Li Xiao with the expression that if you dare to drive by yourself, you will call the police, which is a bit funny.

Li Xiao thought about it for a moment, but he didn't know whether he was thinking of taking a ride or supervising the squad leader not to drink and drive, or he nodded in agreement.

After all, if there is a driver in the car, they are not alone, there will be no misunderstandings, and it is impossible to trigger any charming plots, and they are still working, so it doesn't matter much.

The driver soon drove over again, and the driver the monitor said was actually a lady.

Seeing Li Xiao's surprised gaze, the squad leader introduced

"This is Sister Ling, my driver and assistant."

Li Xiao looked up and down at Sister Ling who was in the cab, and said hello politely

"Sister Ling, hello."

Although this one is called Sister Ling, she looks quite old. Under the dim light, she can see several white hairs on her head. It is estimated that they are at least 45 years old.

According to most of the characters in the novel, this should be an old employee sent by his father's company.

The squad leader's car is a white Cayenne. Apart from knowing that the car is expensive, Li Xiao doesn't know the exact price at all.

But as soon as he got into the car, he felt the difference between a luxury car and an ordinary car. The space inside the car was very spacious.

After the squad leader and Li Xiao sat in the back row, there was a considerable distance between them.

After the two of them closed the car door, Sister Ling in the front row turned her head slightly and asked

"Where are we going now? Are we taking this gentleman home directly?"

The squad leader quickly turned his head and gestured for Li Xiao to tell him the address of his home with his eyes.

Li Xiao spoke out the address of her new home, but Sister Ling didn't say anything, and she didn't show any surprise on her face.

After all, there is nothing strange about the fact that someone who can know Miss can live in the Longding Mansion.

Although the Cayenne is not a top-end luxury car, its comfort and sound insulation have completely crushed any Didi that Li Xiao has made before.

Once the door is closed, the inside and outside of the car become two worlds, comfortable and quiet, and people can immediately relax their defenses, which are blocked by the car's shell and sealing strips.

It's no wonder that many office workers who have been tired all day like to lean on their driver's seat quietly, listen to a song quietly, or smoke a cigarette comfortably.

The squad leader picked up a bag of documents, took out four or five pieces of paper and handed them to Li Xiao.

"These are some of the documents. I will send you a more detailed electronic version when I get home."

"My new restaurant is a new type of molecular cuisine, which focuses on the innovation of Cantonese cuisine. Because the mode may be different from traditional Cantonese cuisine, I have been looking for an anchor with enough weight to conduct live streaming."

"In addition, we have also contacted many evaluation accounts and public accounts before, and we will make efforts to promote it at the same time."

"However, in terms of anchors, we haven't found a suitable one. Although the number of fans we found before is not bad, most of them don't match our purpose."

"However, the target group of our store should be younger. People under the age of 35 may not exceed 40 at most. This group of people is the main force of watching live broadcasts, so the promotion of anchors is still essential. "

"But in the end, I went through a lot of screening and saw your information. Although your quotation was not posted on the Internet, I still think you are the most suitable, so I found Ding Yougang and found you."

"And it may be better to use local anchors for local promotion."

While flipping through the materials in Li Xiao's hand, while listening to the monitor's explanation, a feeling of déjà vu came to his heart very quickly.

He frowned slightly, and quickly flipped through the memories in his mind, trying to find out where this familiar feeling came from, and soon he took a deep breath.

Because he finally found the source of his familiar feeling in the corner of his memory.

The set meal is still based on delicacy, and the color matching is so gorgeous. Isn't this the twelve o'clock made by Xie Guoyong? ,

It's just that the weight here is less, and the degree of refinement seems to be slightly improved. Of course, this may also be due to the need to shoot traffic, so the production is more careful.

Li Xiao frowned. He didn't think this model was bad. On the contrary, if it was purely for the business model, not for the pursuit of delicious food, a new style of gourmet restaurant with different new elements, it would actually cater to the market more.

After all, people nowadays will take pictures of Moments when they encounter anything they are interested in, and the pictures of the brochure in his hand.

If it can maintain seven or eight points of appearance after mass production, it is only a matter of time before the popular circle of friends.

With the popular promotion of the circle of friends, there is no need to worry about the customer flow of the store.

But there is no need to worry about this, it is just the early stage.

You must know that Dongguan is not a tourist city. It is not a long-term solution to rely on novelty to attract customers. , probably won't come back.

Pretty is beautiful, but for things like Moments, you can only show off once or twice in the same place, and that’s about it. Showing off too much will not only reduce the price, but many people will even think that you may use previous pictures to cheat likes.

Of course, taking Dongguan's population size as an example, the population in a city is definitely enough for a store to digest for two or three years.

As long as the taste decline is not quite serious, the problem should not be too big.

Therefore, the key is to see the level of taste. He glanced at the beautiful picture and frowned deeply.

The squad leader on the side has been quietly watching Li Xiao, and seeing Li Xiao's frown getting tighter, he opened his mouth in doubt.

"Did you find something wrong?"

After all, as a professional food anchor, Li Xiao is either exploring the store or on the way to the store. It is very likely that he will easily find some problems that ordinary people cannot see.

As a layman and her first entrepreneurial venture, she is willing to listen to other people's opinions.

Li Xiao looked away from the few documents in his hand, and the squad leader's chubby face was slightly rosy from drinking, with nervousness on his face and doubts in his eyes.

Li Xiao looked carefully and made sure that he didn't see any dissatisfaction in the other party's eyes, so he hesitated to speak

"I've seen a similar restaurant in Hangcheng. Although the food there is vegetarian, it's very similar to the one in your shop, monitor."

"Although the store's business was pretty good after it opened, and because it's by the West Lake, it lasted for a long time."

"But after operating for a period of time, it will have some bad reviews, it should be said that there have been a lot of bad reviews."

"Because its form is larger than reality, and the taste is not as good as expected. When everyone sees such an exquisite meal, his psychological expectations will actually be raised, that is, the expectation value will become higher. .”

"When dealing with a meal, sight and smell are the first to be conveyed to the brain. Can you understand this?"

The squad leader frowned slightly, nodded after thinking carefully for a while and said,

"Well, I think I can probably understand what you mean."

Li Xiao has been carefully observing the other party's expression. If there is something wrong, he will immediately change his strategy. After all, most of the good advice is harsh, and most of the suggestions and persuasion are particularly unpleasant.

"Besides, the squad leader is about to start his business now, so there aren't many things that can be changed."

Just listen to the monitor continue to say
"But you don't have to worry too much about this. The chef is a three-star senior chef. I managed to find someone to hire him. I have also tried the production. Although it is not brilliant, it is still very good."

Samsung Senior Chef?Li Xiao's previously relaxed brows tended to revive again, and this sense of familiarity returned.

He took a deep breath, and the name that hadn't appeared for a long time appeared in the center.

That guy did go in at the beginning, but if he behaved better inside, shouldn't he also be released?
He hesitated for two seconds before speaking.

"Could it be that the chef's name is Xie Guoyong?"

He said the name of the chef in Zhizhu who was sent in by himself.

He was very worried that the squad leader would nod his head gently, and even show a look on his face, did you investigate me?Surprised look why would you know.

Li Xiao's eyes fell on the other party nervously, but fortunately things didn't go to the worst, the squad leader shook his head
"The name of the three-star senior chef in my family is He Beibei, not Xie Guoyong."

Hearing the name from the class monitor, Li Xiao heaved a long sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that the development of the matter would be so bloody, and then it would not end well.

If it was really Xie Guoyong, even if Li Xiao tried his best to replace him for a period of time, he would definitely stop his squad leader from hiring him.

After all, a guy with such a bad character, even if he has a good talent, can't use it.

Who knows when he will make another bloody thing.

The car fell into silence for a few seconds, Li Xiao thought twice and then opened his mouth
"How about this, if it's convenient for you, monitor, I would like to meet this Samsung senior chef. Of course, if I can taste their products in advance, it would be better if I can enter the back kitchen to observe them." .”

Seeing Li Xiao's preoccupied and worried expression.

The squad leader chuckled, but immediately felt that it seemed inappropriate to laugh out loud at this time, so he quickly lowered his head and pretended to be an ostrich.

She understood now why Li Xiao was so preoccupied, she looked up again with a smile on her face
"Of course there is no problem. In fact, everyone in the store has already been seated. The reason why I chose the weekend is because my father said that day is better, and I hope I will open on that day."

"After all, some older businessmen have similar thoughts, and he is a relatively traditional person."

Afterwards, the two discussed some details, and agreed that Li Xiao would come to the store for a taste at noon tomorrow.

After a night of nothing to say, Li Xiao woke up and found that his parents had left early.

After washing up and lying on the deck chair in the garden, Xiao Lan immediately flew up from the big tree in the corner.

A beautiful gliding landed on Li Xiao's stomach.

While arranging its smoother and smoother feathers, Xiaolan jumped towards Li Xiao's chest,
"Hey, Li Xiao, will I live here from now on?"

Li Xiao didn't raise her head, feeling the warm sunbathing in winter
"Speak up if you have something to say, a bird, how can you learn such a bitch."

Hearing Li Xiao speak directly, Xiaolan is not polite anymore, pointing his wings at Nuoda's garden, he said

"Li Xiao, it's like this. Look, this huge garden is too empty for me to be the only bird?"

As he spoke, he blinked his bird eyes crazily, as if he wanted to convey some message.

Li Xiao still didn't raise his eyes, and let out a long oh,
"You mean, let me buy a cat to play with you?"

As soon as Xiaolan heard the word buy, she almost jumped up excitedly, but after hearing Li Xiao's whole sentence, the whole bird suddenly became ill.

"I mean buy a bird, a female bird, you promised me tens of thousands of years ago, you will buy me a female bird when you have time!!! You are a big liar!!!"

Li Xiao finally raised his eyelids this time, and took a look at the guy who was jumping around on his chest.

"There's a chance. I'm still very busy recently. Besides, after the Chinese New Year, I'm going to travel everywhere, live broadcast everywhere, and take two birds with me? I'm already very worried about raising one of you. If I don't go here for a day, I will go there don't go."

Xiaolan pecked at Li Xiao's chest vigorously through the jacket

"Can you blame me for this? Brother, the place you go is full of stink. If I knew how to find food by myself, I would have already run away."

Li Xiao was also a little helpless. She had been hanging out with her second uncle and third uncle's house some time ago, and it was true that no matter where she went, it smelled like fish.

It's really pitiful to think about it this way, Li Xiao is a little soft-hearted

"Okay, I'll find you another half when I'm done."

Didi went out, this time did not start the live broadcast, and did not bring Xiaolan, after all, I will enter the back kitchen later, so what is the matter with bringing a bird there?

I came to the squad leader's new store on time, and the name of the new store is quite new [neighborhood] --- back to the original beauty.

The door is very simple, with a big white wall, with golden fonts on it, respectively the name and the concept of this store.

Li Xiao frowned slightly. The new style of Cantonese cuisine doesn't seem to go well with returning to the original beauty?
But it's too early to draw conclusions, let's eat and see first.

Since it was the guest brought by the boss himself, the three-star senior chef named He Beibei came out to greet him.

A tall and thin girl with three-dimensional facial features and fair skin. Although she spoke Cantonese, Li Xiao could clearly feel the strange accent in her Cantonese.

The other party didn't wait for the class monitor's introduction, so he walked up to Li Xiao and stretched out his hand gracefully, introducing himself:
"Hello, I think you are the anchor invited by the boss. Nice to meet you. My name is He Beibei. I am a three-star chef. I have been an executive sous chef in Lee Garden for a year, and I have been cooking at the Red Belt in Citigroup. I have studied chef skills for three years at the academy."

"Father, He Chunsheng, is a level 5 chef of Dahan Kingdom, and mother, Cromwell Anastas, is a national five-star chef of Citigroup. Please give me your advice."

The self-introduction with Beibei was very long, and after she finished introducing her information, Li Xiao understood why she felt that the other party was a little strange, so it turned out that she was not a pure Han nationality.

Of course, Li Xiao didn't discriminate in any way. After all, he was honoring the country, so how could he discriminate.

However, Li Xia could vaguely feel that the other party seemed to be somewhat dissatisfied with him. Although the tone of his speech was very peaceful, and his introduction to himself was very ordinary, when the other party specifically explained his study experience and the situation of his parents at the end, It obviously has a strong smell of gunpowder.

Li Xiao resisted the twitching of the corner of his mouth, he secretly cursed helplessly in his heart that he had offended someone again.

After all, the squad leader originally wanted to invite himself to come here to do a promotional live broadcast, but he wanted to try other people's products first. Didn't this make it clear that he didn't trust other people's products?

A chef should be most proud of his own products. Now a layman wants to challenge the authority of a chef. If the other chef has no temper, then Li Xiao will feel very strange.

But Li Xiao had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in. After all, this is the first time the squad leader opened a shop.

This store in the city center looks simple and simple, but the investment is definitely not small. He doesn't want his first investment as the monitor to be in vain.

The first time this kind of thing is very important,

school for the first time,
first time working,
The first time to start a business,
first love,
first marriage,
first pregnancy,
All the first time, there are always some special feelings in people's hearts.

Therefore, Li Xiao still wants the squad leader's first store opening to go smoothly.

At least, if the first time goes well, you will be more confident in the future. If you fail the first time, you may have a negative attitude towards entrepreneurship.

After exchanging pleasantries, several people directly entered the back kitchen.

Li Xiao took over the printed menu. There was nothing wrong with the menu, and it could even be said that it was well matched.

After all, He Beibei has studied professionally. Citigroup's Red Belt Culinary Academy is at the bottom of the list of the top ten culinary academies in the world.

The last word sounds bad, but seeing the prefix in front, it is the top ten in the world.

Those who can graduate successfully in it must not be too bad.

Moreover, He Beibei's parents and father are both 5-star senior chefs. With the influence of the family, the standard should not be too bad.

At least there are no shortcomings that can be seen at a glance on the menu. The price of the menu is not very expensive, 558 yuan per person.

The reason why Li Xiao said it is not expensive here is that the ingredients on the menu are not cheap.

The price of 558 yuan is still acceptable to most people, and you can see how the product is.

Li Xiao directly scanned the QR code to pay while everyone was not paying attention. Fortunately, there was no payment reminder installed here.

Otherwise, there will be a commotion again. After all, Li Xiao's behavior is too strange. Not only did he ask to come over to taste the dishes, but he actually paid secretly. No matter how you think about it, it is a bit unreasonable.

In fact, this was Li Xiao's helpless move. After all, if you don't pay first, there is no way to trigger the system's check-in mechanism.

Although he has [Ability: Food Tasting Proficiency], he can directly taste some small problems, but the problem is that he really wants to know how many stars this [neighborhood] can rate.
