How to be financially free

Chapter 550
Everyone wants to make friends, and naturally they have a good conversation.

Xu Wen chatted while drinking the premium Longjing, and people came over to exchange business cards from time to time.

"Xu Dong, let's cooperate if we have a chance."

"Mr. Xu, when the time comes, the hotel will be short of staff. We will give priority to graduates from our school. They are definitely of excellent quality."

After a while, there was a thick stack of business cards in Xu Wen's hand.

Those who are about the same age as Mr. Dong can be called masters in the culinary world.

Today is a rare get-together, and on a whim, I want to show off a specialty dish.

"Old Yan, your rich fish veneer is a must. Old Zheng, you must buy your shrimp and big black ginseng today!" Dong Lao said like a treasure.

"Come, come, I haven't done it for a long time, come to practice today, and you can help evaluate it when the time comes." Lao Yan, a national treasure-level celebrity chef in Shanghai, stood up and lifted his cuffs.

He headed to the kitchen first.

"Then come and practice and see how good it is."

The old man at the side chuckled, and called the two apprentices who came with him to help him.

Strictly speaking, except for some members who are chefs, most of them are actually businessmen engaged in the catering industry.

It is naturally impossible for you to expect them to have high cooking skills.

Therefore, at this moment, everyone is unanimous in keeping quiet and being a competent bystander.

Xu Wen is no exception.

Although he also has two culinary skills, god-level egg fried rice and god-level barbecue, these two are national treasure chefs, and he doesn't think he has any say in cooking.

Elder Dong watched with great interest the two people in the kitchen preparing quickly, with their apprentices helping each other.

"Xu Dong, the executive Chinese chef of your Sheraton Hotel is called Zhou Quan, and he is very good at cooking." Elder Dong said casually from the side.

"Of course, to tell you the truth, this one is my closed disciple."

Elder Dong said it outright, and Xu Wen wouldn't pretend to be stupid either.

"So it's Mr. Dong's apprentice. No wonder the Chinese food at the Sheraton Hotel has always been very good." Xu Wen offered tea to Mr. Dong.

Elder Dong raised his cup with a smile and took a sip.

"By the way, Mr. Xu, your predecessor in this position, Mr. Ren, also loves to cook. He has a few special dishes in his hand. Do you have any special dishes, Mr. Xu? I can show you later."

Mr. Dong was just joking. After all, he is a serious businessman, not a chef, so he doesn't know any special dishes.

He didn't expect much either.

Xu Wen thought for a while, since he said so.

Ok.

"How about I fry an egg and fried rice?" Xu Wen asked.

As soon as he said this, several members who were born as famous chefs raised their heads and couldn't help but smile kindly.

What's so special about a little fried rice with eggs? Who wouldn't know how to do it?

Elder Dong also laughed.

"It's all right, fried rice with eggs is just fried rice with eggs. It's not satisfying to eat their dishes later, and you have to have some staple food. Xu Dong, then I will trouble you."

Xu Wen nodded and smiled, and didn't mind.

In the eyes of these famous chefs, fried rice with eggs is really nothing.

Dishes are not counted, at most they can only be regarded as staple food.

However, his egg fried rice is different. It is called god-level egg fried rice. The so-called god-level is the strongest on earth, and it is the most delicious egg fried rice in the world.

Ordinary people can't eat it.

Just like that, Xu Wen also entered the kitchen.

The two national treasure chefs were busy, so Xu Wen naturally didn't bother, and only occupied a corner of the big kitchen.

He started chopping onions and beating eggs slowly, without any fancy things in the whole process.

Some can only play steadily.

On the other side, the aroma of the dishes made by the two chefs sprayed out, and everyone couldn't help but chase after them.

And Xu Wen is still taking his time.

Heating the wok, pouring oil, everyone knows every step and has seen it before. Therefore, not many people paid much attention to how Xu Wen fried rice.

After all, it is fried rice with eggs, so what surprises can there be?

Xu Wen stir-fried the overnight meal.

The color of the rice grains keeps turning golden, and a faint and sometimes strong aroma slowly spreads out.

Even if everyone is on the sidelines, even if they don't think so highly of fried rice with eggs, on the surface, what should be praised should still be praised.

Anyway, boasting is free.

"Well, Mr. Xu seems to be cooking with great care and order, not bad."

Elder Dong nodded slightly at the side.

Although it is not a big dish, but judging from Xu Wen's steps and techniques, they are all right, and the appearance is also very good.

Anyway, this is definitely qualified egg fried rice no problem.

However, that's about it.

Maybe he will compliment him later, but deep down in his heart, he has never regarded a simple bowl of fried rice with eggs as a dish.

They watched for a while, and Xu Wen was still stirring patiently.

On the other side, there was a greasy sound.

The first course is done.

Everyone's attention was immediately attracted.

"This rich fish is topped with noodles. It is indeed Chef Yan's specialty."

Everyone tasted it one after another and was full of praise.

"This fish is so tender! It's simply a must."

"No wonder it has been passed down for generations. It really is a classic and famous dish. Master Yan's sword is not old!"

Master Zheng also tasted it, raised his eyebrows, and made no comment.

Among peers, naturally, they are also relatively light.

"My shrimp and big black ginseng are also ready!" He said proudly.

Then, this shiny black dish was served.

This is a famous traditional dish in Shanghai with black ginseng as the raw material. I don't know how many celebrities have come to taste it. It is definitely a good dish.

Everyone couldn't hold back, and gathered around again, trying this dish of big black ginseng with shrimps one after another.

"Fragrant and juicy, soft and crispy, absolutely, absolutely!"

"It's delicious. The last time I tasted it was ten years ago. Master Zheng's skills are improving day by day."

Chopsticks were not needed for this dish, so everyone tasted it lightly with spoons.

The same is also full of praise.

Today, the two famous dishes of the two famous chefs, everyone is addicted to it.

It's just that it's really difficult to say who is superior.

Both dishes were impeccable, almost perfect.

In the end, Mr. Dong came out to smooth things over.

"Otherwise, it's a tie, right?"

Tie?

The two famous chefs who have absolute confidence and arrogance in their culinary skills are a little dissatisfied with this result.

In the middle of the stalemate, Xu Wen brought fried rice with fried eggs to the table.

"Egg fried rice?"

The two chefs looked at it with no expression on their faces.

Others present here have just tasted the famous dish, and now they are a little interested in this plate of fried rice with eggs.Don't know what to do for a while?
You can't say the same after you taste it, right?

What should the two chefs think.

Is it good to have food delivered?

Elder Dong looked aside and pondered for a while.

At any rate, it's also Xu Dong's wish. Although it's not a famous dish, it can't even have a cheering one, right?

"Well, after eating the dishes, we should also have some staple food, right? Xu Dong specially cooked for everyone to have some staple food, everyone should eat as much as possible." Elder Dong called.

There is Dong Lao's call, and naturally someone will respond.

After all, where is Xu Dong's identity here?
They are all human beings, and no one wants to do things that offend others.

"Yes, yes, let's pad our stomachs." A member went over to get a bowl.

Chef Yan was still a little dissatisfied with the result of the draw, so he casually packed a bowl of fried rice with eggs, and prepared to try Chef Zheng's shrimp and big black ginseng with the fried rice.

"A draw, what a draw, I want to see, where is the draw?" He casually scooped up a mouthful of big black ginseng, then ate fried rice with eggs in one bite.

His habitual mouth moved.

Then, with his eyes wide open, he spit out the black ginseng in one gulp.

"You!" Seeing this scene, Master Zheng who was not far away became furious and pointed at Chef Yan.

"Old Yan, what do you mean? Is it necessary? It's too much to bully!"

A few apprentices on the side hurriedly stopped him.

Everyone else looked at Chef Yan's performance in surprise.

Obviously, his behavior just now meant that he disliked Master Zheng's dishes, so distasteful that he spit it out and didn't see it.

However, Chef Yan turned a deaf ear and stared blankly at the egg fried rice in his hand.

"This taste!"

He muttered to himself, and his expression became extremely exciting.

He took another bite of fried rice with eggs, chewing greedily, looking like he was gobbling it.

"too delicious."

He muttered to himself while eating, and he was eating very fast.

A bowl of rice suddenly lost a small half.

Everyone becomes more and more suspicious.

Is this somewhat deliberate?
"Play, you continue to play!" Master Zheng struggled from a distance and pointed at Chef Yan.

"If you can't beat me, then you can act, right?"

He was yelling and cursing here, but it didn't stop Chef Yan from wolfing down, and his eyes became more and more red.

Xu Wen watched calmly from the side, as if he had expected all this before him.

"Hey, Chef Yan, what's the matter with you?" Someone stepped forward and couldn't help asking.

Chef Yan desperately shook his head and ate his food.

He thought a lot.

He thought of one night after school many years ago, when he was very hungry, he ate the bowl of egg fried rice that his mother cooked for him.

Fragrant, golden yellow, maybe you will never forget that taste in your life, right?
I thought I would never be able to taste that taste in my life, but unexpectedly, I got it today.

As he ate, the corners of his eyes became a little moist.

Elder Dong has been watching him from the sidelines.

He keenly discovered that the source of all these changes seemed to be the plate of fried rice in front of him.

"What's so special about this plate of egg fried rice?"

He couldn't help but stepped forward.

The grains are dipped in eggs, and the color is golden.

I have to admit that from the looks of it, it is indeed a very successful egg fried rice.

Suspicious, Mr. Dong also pretended to be a bowl of rice.

Then, he tasted it lightly with a spoon.

In an instant, his eyes widened in disbelief.

The bursting taste on his tongue instantly brought him back to the night before he came to Shanghai many years ago.

That year before his elder brother sent him to Shanghai to study art, he personally made him a bowl of fried rice with eggs.

That big white rice, that borrowed egg, that fragrant smell.

At that time, Mr. Dong felt that he had never eaten such delicious food in his whole life.

How can it be?

One person's performance is to act, but now an old Dong is added.

All eyes were on the egg fried rice on the table.

Obviously this is just a very ordinary plate of fried rice with eggs!On the side, two famous dishes are no more dazzling than this egg fried rice.

There are many people who do not believe in evil.

A grey-eyed chef with disciples all over the catering industry in Shanghai staggered after tasting it.

His voice changed, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"This is? This is the fried rice that my old wife used to make when she was still alive. Speaking of which, I haven't tasted this kind of rice for 20 years."

His eyes were slightly opened, and there was a light in his faint eyes.

The executive chef of a well-known time-honored restaurant muttered to himself.

"This is my first love many years ago. It was the first time to cook for me. I will never forget that taste."

A small bowl of fried rice with eggs, everyone tastes a different taste and tastes a different life.

This is the true soul of Xu Wen's divine egg fried rice, which can discover the most unforgettable taste deep in everyone's memory.

So, the scene at the scene was amazing.

A group of bigwigs who are well-known in the catering industry of Shanghai, each of them regarded as treasures, ate the egg fried rice in their hands one by one.

Everyone was in tears.

The only thing left that has not been tasted is Master Zheng.

It can't be that everyone is acting, right?

He broke free from the obstruction of the people on both sides and came to the table.

There is a plate full of egg fried rice like a hill, and now there is only a symbolic star left.

Master Zheng pursed his lips, and simply reached out and took some into his mouth.

Ugh!
A sigh came from deep in the memory.

Master Zheng stood there like a statue, and the memories that had been dusty for decades gradually became clear in the misty rain.

"Xiao Zheng, that's not the way to hold a knife! You go and practice shredding potatoes for me first, and I'll cut all this basket!"

"Brother Zheng, are you hungry? I secretly cooked you a bowl of fried rice with eggs. You can eat it while it's hot."

"Brother Zheng, I'm getting married tomorrow, so you must be a teacher early."

·
Master Zheng looked up at the sky, trying to hide his embarrassment.

When this plate of fried rice is completely consumed.

Everyone looked at Xu Wen with extremely complicated eyes.

Elder Dong's lips moved.

"I think this plate of fried rice is the best!"

"I agree!"

"Me too!"

Master Zheng raised his hand, his voice trembling slightly.

"I agree!"

Chef Yan at the side also nodded heavily.

But Xu Wen, who was the focus at the moment, was very calm.

"Mr. Xu, it's unbelievable! I didn't expect your culinary skills to be so consummate." Elder Dong said incredulously.

"It's really not a matter of accomplishment. It's really just a plate of ordinary fried rice with eggs. It's not that mysterious, right?" Xu Wen categorically denied it.

"Maybe it is for you, but not for us." Elder Dong stared at Xu Wen.

In the eyes, there is appreciation and respect.

Those who can make such fried rice must have a sincere heart for cooking.

"Mr. Xu, there is still a vacancy for the executive vice president of the Catering Association. Why don't you fight for it?"

In the Catering Association of Shanghai, there are dozens of vice presidents, but there is only one executive vice president.

If you want to say what it is useful for, you may not be able to say it for a while.

But if you want to say that it is useless, the entire Shanghai Catering Association has thousands of member units, but there is only one executive vice president. Do you think it can be useless?
