Punch: From third-rate anchor to top chef

Chapter 235 235. Invitation of Guangdong Star Chef Association

Once the tangerine peel is more than 10 years old, the fluidity will be very low, and most people will choose to use it for themselves, because the longer the age, the better the medicine effect.

He once saw a lot of counterfeiting methods of tangerine peel in an online post, and ordinary people couldn't tell them apart.

After all, if the 10-year-old tangerine peel is faked, the price can be more than tripled, that is, from 20 yuan per catty to 800 yuan per catty.

In the notes to Section 24 of "Capital" Chapter [-] "So-called Primitive Accumulation", there is such a passage.

As long as there is a 10% profit, it will be used everywhere;

20%, it will be lively;

50%, it will lead to active risk taking;
100%, it will make people ignore all laws;
With 300%, it will make people not afraid of crime, even the danger of hanging.

Now that 300% of the profits are in front of us, these unscrupulous businessmen can't help but profit from it. After all, even Li Xiao, who has acquired a mastery of Cantonese cuisine, can't guarantee that he can accurately distinguish the authenticity of those tangerine peels, let alone ordinary people. up.

Therefore, there is no need for Li Xiao to take the risk of buying those high-vintage tangerine peels that are more expensive and may be camouflaged by some chemical means.

After careful selection, Li Xiao chose a 12-year-old tangerine peel with a price of 1200. After considering the Chinese New Year in a few days, he thought it would be a good choice to buy more tangerine peel to give to his parents as gifts.

Although 1200 a catty is a little expensive, Li Xiao is not reluctant to spend money. After all, money is easy to come by, and it is even easier to spend it.

This is why most people will find that no matter whether they earn 5000 yuan, 8000 yuan, or 1 yuan, the money left in their hands is one or two thousand in the end.

Considering that he would go to Xinhui to buy local tangerine peel in the future, Li Xiao didn't buy too much, and only bought 20 catties in total.

The boss saw that Li Xiao bought a lot, so he finally gave away half a catty more, which was nearly 600 yuan cheaper.

20 catties of tangerine peel doesn't sound like much, but it weighs a lot on the body. It takes a big sack to hold the 20 catties of tangerine peel.

Li Xiao went to the aquatic product area in the market to buy some abalone, then bought a mallard duck in the Sanniao area, and then picked and picked some red beans and a catty of lean meat.

After shopping, Li Xiao took a look at his current state.

I still gave up the plan to walk back to Longding Villa for an hour with a big sack and a few black plastic bags.

Although he is quite confident in his current physical strength, if he, an Internet celebrity, is found walking like a beggar in the urban area of ​​Dongguan, it will be a lot of fun.

He can even imagine what the headlines on Moments and Official Accounts will say

[Why does a local internet celebrity with millions of fans fall so low? 】

[Internet celebrities with a daily income of one million have become homeless? 】

[Internet celebrity anchor with an annual income of over [-] million, exhausted his family wealth due to gambling]

[A food anchor is suspected of being jumped by a fairy]

[A certain Internet celebrity is performing performance art in the urban area of ​​Dongguan. Is it to attract people's attention, or does it have other plans? 】

I'm afraid I will die socially before the evening, and the greetings from friends and classmates who haven't been in touch for a long time are probably even warmer.

After returning to Longding Huating Villa's home safely, Li Xiao took a shower immediately after putting away her things. Although it was winter, she still smelled of sweat after exercising.

Coming out of the bathroom refreshed, Li Xiao's cell phone rang just in time. He clicked on the screen and saw that the call reminded him that there was no accident, and he clicked to answer without hesitation, and Zhang Wenjing's voice came from the opposite side
"Hello, Mr. Li Xiao, I wonder if it disturbed your rest?"

"No, is there something wrong?"

Although Li Xiao just asked politely, he also knew that the other party was probably looking for him to talk about [neighborhood].

After all, the two of them didn't meet much, and they only met for a short time in [Neighborhood].

After all, the publicity of the official account is time-sensitive, and it is estimated that the other party will also release a related marketing within a day or two. Obviously something went wrong in the middle, and you need to ask yourself.

Then what the other party said surprised him a little.

"It's like this. Someone from the Guangdong Provincial Star Chef Association is looking for it. I want to ask you if Mr. Li Xiao has any intention to participate in this year's star chef selection. If he wants to participate, they are willing to make two recommendations. In addition, they can help you with other materials and expenses.”

???

Star chef selection?
Li Xiao frowned, what does the star chef selection have to do with his own people?
However, he quickly realized that it was probably the follow-up effect caused by yesterday's live broadcast. After all, he had worked in the back kitchen for more than ten hours in a row. Could it be that someone from the Guangdong Provincial Star Chef Association watched his live broadcast and thought that Can you make your own selection?
He knows that star chefs in different regions have a certain degree of competition. After all, the food culture of each region is different. bigger.

If there are one or two eight- or nine-star star chefs in a certain area, it may even cause major changes in the entire Dahan catering industry.

Dishes from the region are likely to take off everywhere in the years to come.

Is this because someone has taken a fancy to his influence?After all, an ordinary star chef is not very useful, but a star chef who has millions of fans and is growing rapidly can generate a lot of traffic, probably more influential than some five or six star chefs. Be huge.

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, and found that this star chef didn't seem to have much influence on him.

Moreover, he can also contribute to his hometown, so why not do it, not to mention that he has learned that the exam for a star chef only takes two or three days.

That is to say, it is more troublesome to register and find recommenders in the early stage, but now since you don’t need to register yourself, and you have helped find recommenders, you can just agree to it and take the time to complete the exam.

As for what you said about wasting a lot of time practicing and preparing before the exam, that's purely a joke.

Although Li Xiao has never been clear about the level of his current cooking skills, after acquiring so many cooking-related skills, his understanding of cooking skills has improved qualitatively.

The last time he instructed He Beibei to improve the menu, he already found that his current level was completely crushed, only He Beibei from Samsung.

Since it can produce level crushing, it is reasonable to say that he should have at least a four-star star chef level, and it may even be higher.

Therefore, he doesn't pay attention to a one-star chef exam at all. He can just take the exam and get a certificate.

If it weren't for the fact that the star exam can only be taken once a year, and to obtain a high-star chef certificate, a pre-level chef certificate is required, Li Xiao even considered whether to directly apply for a four-star chef exam.

Zhang Wenjing, who was opposite Li Xiao, was relieved to hear that Li Xiao agreed. After all, although there was no pay for this matter, it would leave a good impression on the other party after the job was done, and she would not have to worry about running out of orders.

The two sides chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. After all, although they said they knew each other, they were just acquaintances, not even friends.

Although Zhang Wenjing had the desire to continue chatting, but Li Xiao didn't have any idea about this girl who looked very quiet. After all, although he dressed very quietly and looked very quiet, Li Xiao didn't feel that great.

Chatting is a thing between two parties. One party keeps ending the chat, and the other party even says
【Bao, I'm going for an infusion. What kind of infusion did I get? I miss you all night. 】

【You don't even know how to feel sorry for others】

[It's annoying to be emotionally affected by a person, but it can also be very sweet. 】

[Don't not answer me, I apologize, let's make up]

【You don't know how to feel sorry for others. 】

【Let me love you well? Let me live with you, okay?】

Even if you say such classic quotations, even if you tip hundreds of 1000 million, only the other side will have no feelings for you.

Still will make the licking dog lose everything, maybe even die on the spot.

Although Zhang Wenjing can become a licking dog with no bottom line, she will not do so. She understands what it means to play hard to get, and also understands that licking a dog until everything is lost.

For men, it is often necessary to be indifferent, hot and cold, so as to arouse the curiosity of men.

As for after you get it, you must be considerate and considerate, but you can't cling like a koala, and you can't make the other party feel annoyed and let the other party have a private space.

For Zhang Wenjing, these methods are simply familiar, and they are no more difficult than eating and drinking.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wenjing immediately made a call that came in suddenly this morning.

The call was also connected quickly, Zhang Wenjing said respectfully
"Hello, Secretary Zhang, I have asked Mr. Li Xiao for his opinion, and he has also agreed to participate in the star chef competition after the New Year this year."

"Very good, very good, you didn't reveal our identities here, did you?"

"Of course, I invited the other party to participate on the pretext of the Guangdong Provincial Star Chef Association, and the other party has no doubts."

"Well, the Guangdong Star Chef Association? I understand. I will send a letter to the other side to ask them to help. Then I would like to thank Ms. Zhang for her help. By the way, some catering stores under our group need For some long-term promotion, I will find someone to contact you for specific matters."

Hearing Secretary Zhang's words, Zhang Wenjing's face burst into a smile. As a senior secretary of a company, the other party's words carry a lot of weight.

She also captured some of the key words. [Some restaurants] prove that there are a lot of products that need to be promoted, and [Long-term] proves that the time is not short.

This business is simply too lucrative, but it took only one phone call to receive such a large order.

Just when Zhang Wenjing was ecstatic, Secretary Zhang on the other side of the microphone continued to say

"By the way, I need to remind Ms. Zhang that Mr. Li Xiao is our second lady, a very good friend, so I hope Ms. Zhang can keep a certain social distance from Mr. Li Xiao. I don't know if Ms. Zhang can Do you understand me?"

Although Secretary Zhang's words seemed a little out of his mind, Zhang Wenjing immediately understood what the other party meant, and a layer of cold sweat oozes out from behind her heart.

She knew exactly what this sentence meant, and it seemed that her guess was correct. The second lady of the Chang family really liked this guy named Li Xiao.

However, it is clear that the two have not yet established a relationship, and indeed it is impossible to establish a relationship.

After she came back yesterday, she carefully checked the details of her prey, and found that the other party had a girlfriend who was still in college.

Then you are quite delicate in your identity as the second lady. Is this waiting for the rhythm of the other party's breakup?

She also understands why the Chang family wants Li Xiao to participate in the star chef selection. After all, Changhong Group has a large number of subsidiaries that are related to catering, but although there are many of these subsidiaries, they are not large in size. The proportion of funds is not large, but it is also an important component of Changhong Group.

One of the largest chain catering companies only has more than 10 stores. There have been rumors from the outside that the second lady of the Chang family will be assigned to manage these catering companies, and it is even possible that these catering companies will become independent from the Changhong Group. Form a new subgroup.

After all, these catering companies not only need a lot of manpower, but also have very low profit margins every year, which has led to the poor financial performance of Changhong Group in recent years. It is likely that the current big boss thinks that these companies have affected Changhong. With regard to the development of the Rainbow Group, she wanted to become independent and make decisions for her second daughter.

Originally, this rumor was broken immediately after the Second Miss of the Chang family came out to start her own business, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Obviously, the other party opened the store just to exercise, and it is very likely that after gaining enough experience, they will return to the group and carry out drastic reforms.

Now the other party arranges the star chef exam for Li Xiao, probably because they want to create a left and right arm for the second lady of the Chang family to rely on completely. able family.

Although Zhang Wenjing's appearance is very vase, she has never been a vase.

She seemed to be only taking pictures, posing, eating and drinking all day yesterday, but on the way, she got a lot of words from He Beibei's mother and those gourmets or star chefs who were invited to the store for food evaluation.

The most important of these was He Beibei's mother's words. He spoke highly of Li Xiao and revealed a key message.

After receiving Li Xiao's help, his daughter's products are infinitely close to the level of a 4-star chef in terms of the menu in the store.

She knew very well that He Beibei was only a three-star chef, and this chef, who once had the title of talented girl, had stagnated in the three-star class for too long.

There are also quite a lot of negative comments on He Beibei from the outside world, such as being arrogant, not accepting opinions, hot tempered, arrogant and so on.

However, a three-star chef with so many negative comments, after Li Xiao's guidance, can actually make dishes that are infinitely close to four-star chefs?
This is not the point, the point is why such a female chef, who is full of negative news, accepts the advice of a gourmet anchor?
This is the question that makes her think hard and can't think of the answer. The only explanation is that in the eyes of the arrogant He Beibei, Li Xiao's cooking skills are much higher than his.

This is too much, so there is a lot to say. The gap of one star cannot be said too much.

That is at least 2 stars higher than He Beibei, that is to say, in the eyes of He Beibei, Li Xiao is at least a 5-star chef, a chef with the same level as her parents, so she willingly Accept the other person's opinion.

After reaching this conclusion, Zhang Wenjing couldn't calm down for a long time. What kind of monster is a person who can have a 23-star chef level at the age of 5?

One must know that many years ago, He Beibei won the honor of a three-star chef at the age of 23. At that time, it caused a sensation in half of the big Han country.

What have you discovered now?
A 23-year-old chef with a 5-star level?
If this news is true, not to mention causing a sensation in the entire Han Kingdom, even the food festivals across the country will cause an uproar.

After all, there has never been such a character. Zhang Wenjing clearly remembers that the youngest 5-star chef in Dahan Kingdom was a man named Hua Shisan who was born in a family of chefs. He was only 29 years old and won the 5-star chef award. .

And the other party is now an 8-star master chef, but due to his age, unless it is some national food event, there is no way to see the other party's figure.

After figuring out the powerful relationship here, Zhang Wenjing, who was just a little bit excited, decided to clean up from today, drive away all the licking dogs around her, and spend a lot of money to erase her previous black material as much as possible.

A raw jade who may become an 8-star chef, if she watches the other party slip away in front of her eyes, she may not be able to sleep for several years.

However, all the plans have not been implemented, the dog licking has not been kicked away, and the whitewashing has not begun, it has come to an end.

Obviously, Secretary Zhang on the other side of the phone knew Zhang Wenjing very well. How could a person like a courtesan let her get close to his lady's man?
Zhang Wenjing didn't show too much dissatisfaction, after all, although she herself is not well-known in the self-media circle.

But in front of a large group of tens of billions, he is like a small ant. As long as the other party gives an order, he can disappear in the industry in an instant.

What's more, the attitude of the other party is already very good. Not only has she given many long-term cooperation projects, but also the secretary of a big boss has vaccinated herself in advance, instead of punishing her without teaching. other feelings.

The epidemic is still ongoing, please pay attention to social distance and wear masks.
