Food starts with Mapo Tofu

Chapter 758 Holidays
After the business hours at noon, Chen Nian was lying on the table bored, just now he had a phone call with Hong Dou, Hong Dou had already arrived home, and even played a video to show Chen Nian his boudoir.

But then An Hongdou went to help clean up.

So old age started to get boring again.

Just when he was drowsy, the phone rang suddenly.

"Hello." Chen Nian answered the phone in a daze.

"Hey, Boss Chen, it's me, Zhou Ji, I went to your place for dinner before."

A strange voice came from the phone.

Now Chen Nian is in trouble, and he didn't think of who it was for a while.

"you are?"

So Chen Nian asked one more question.

"About more than a month ago, I went to your shop to visit, have you forgotten?"

As soon as he said this, Chen Nian suddenly felt relieved, and immediately sat up straight. He remembered who the other party was, because although there were many anchors who came to visit the store since the store opened, there were only a few who were really famous.

And this Zhou Ji was a special chef who came to visit the restaurant shortly after Old Tang came. Speaking of which, Chen Nian always watched the other party's videos on the Internet.

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry, I'm sleepy, and I didn't remember who you are for a while." Chen Nian said apologetically.

"It's okay, we only met once, and it's normal if we don't remember, but it's hard to find your phone number, Boss Chen. I asked someone I know to find Miaomiaowu, and then I got it from Miaomiaowu. took your call."

For a while, Chen Nian felt a little flattered, but after thinking about how much effort the other party took to find him, there must be something to talk about.

"Mr. Zhou, this is my mistake. When you came to visit the store, I should have asked you for a contact information."

"Hahaha, Boss Chen is too polite, but I do have something to ask you this time."

"What's the matter? Teacher Zhou just say it."

"It's like this. My senior brother and I are going to participate in a kitchen king competition. Originally, I have already decided on a candidate, but something happened to him a few days ago, and he is now in the hospital. It is estimated that it will take at least half a year." Can't get off the ground.

And some masters I know here are also old and don't want to travel back and forth, so I thought of you and wanted to ask if you have time here, and we will go together when the time comes. "

"King of the Kitchen?" Chen Nian knew about this show. He liked to watch it when he was a child, but he never thought that Zhou Ji would invite him to go with him.

It stands to reason that a chef of Master Zhou's level must know a lot of people, even if people of the same generation are unwilling to bring a better apprentice, there should be no problem.

"I do have time here, but why did Master Zhou find me?" Chen Nian asked.

Although Zhou Ji had already mentioned the reason before, everyone was an adult, so it wasn't enough for him to believe what the other party said. Those must be polite words.

Therefore, Chen Nian felt that he still had to ask more clearly, don't agree to it by himself at that time, and then get ready, and then suddenly inform himself that there is no shortage of people, that would be bad.

"Boss Chen, let me tell you the truth, because we are going to compete with Italian chefs this time. There are two competitions in total. One is in China, and the other is going to them. Didn't you appear on a variety show and found out that you can speak Italian and English, and your cooking skills are good.

In this way, it will be more convenient to communicate there. Although the program team can help us find a local chef as an interpreter, but let them come, how can it be more convenient for us to do it ourselves?

And when the time comes, we are not familiar with the place of life, if the language is not fluent, I am afraid that we will be tricked by them. "

Hearing this, Chen Nian understood, it turned out that Zhou Ji was looking for a chef who could be an interpreter.

He himself doesn't mind these things too much, after all, Chef King is a serious Chinese and foreign food duel show, and the popularity on the Internet is quite high.

Speaking of it, Chen Nian is indeed a little moved.

But after all, you should ask clearly when participating in this kind of program, and Chen Nian still has to ask clearly.

"Mr. Zhou, there is no problem with my time, but what conditions do they have?"

After Zhou Ji heard Chen Nian's preliminary agreement, he felt more at ease. After all, he heard Chen Nian's tone and felt that Chen Nian still wanted to go.

"There are no conditions. The candidates are all determined by ourselves. Originally, my junior brother was invited, and then my junior brother planned to invite me to go with me. My senior brother mainly cooks Shandong cuisine, and I mainly specialize in Huaiyang cuisine. At that time, there is also a friend of my junior brother who is good at making pasta and desserts. As for you, Boss Chen, you will be mainly in charge of western food at that time.

This time to participate in the competition, the organizer will also give some appearance fees. I can also tell you about this. My junior can get 15, and then everyone else he invites can get [-].

If we win, our group can also get a bonus of 30 yuan. I think we will share the money equally at that time. If we lose, we won’t say so much, and there will be no food, accommodation and travel expenses at that time. We worry about ourselves. "

"At that time, the cycle of the program will be about [-] days. We will go to Yunnan in the first two days. On the one hand, we need to familiarize ourselves with the local environment. On the other hand, we need to get in touch with ourselves and understand the shooting process by the way.

The competition will be held on the third day, and two days after the competition, there will be some rest. On the sixth day, we will go to Italy. After arriving there, we will have three days to rest and overcome jet lag, and learn about local customs. On the tenth day After the game, we can stay there for two days to play or something.

But when the time comes, the program team will only take care of the accommodation and return air tickets, and we have to pay for the meals ourselves. "

While listening, Chen Nian came to the counter and started pressing the computer.

In addition to my own expenses for the last two days, I can get about 175 for this 000-day filming. Of course, the corresponding taxes and fees have to be deducted from the money after I get it.

Participating in this kind of program has to pay labor income tax, and a personal tax is also levied.

That is 175000×20%×1.5, a total of 52500 yuan.

175000-52500122500
Now that I am short of money, this 10,000+ can completely solve my urgent needs.

"No wonder so many celebrities and Internet celebrities are evading taxes. I only have 10,000+ and I have to collect [-] in taxes. I can only go to the second gear.

In the third gear, if it reaches 51, the amount of personal tax will become two points, which means that if you earn 51, you will have to pay more than 21 in taxes.

"Forget it, let's be a law-abiding person."

Finally, Chen Nian agreed: "Master Zhou, I really want to go to this event."

"Haha, you can go if you want, and we've approved your name." Zhou Ji said with a smile, "But were you pressing a calculator just now? I seem to have heard the sound of a calculator."

"No, Master Zhou." Chen Nian quickly denied.

"What's the matter? Let's go out to participate in these programs, on the one hand, to learn from the chefs outside, and on the other hand, to make money. To be honest, if he didn't give you a lot, I wouldn't be bothered to go." Zhou Ji completely Said indifferently.

"Okay, then let's settle this matter first, but are you free during this time? If you are free, you can come to BJ, let's meet first, and get to know each other's good things."

"I may still be in the store for a few days, but I will have a holiday here in about a week, will it be okay then?"

"A week later? No problem! Then, Boss Chen, tell me the exact date, and I'll ask someone to buy you a plane ticket."

"Mr. Zhou, if you don't need it, I can just buy it myself. Air tickets don't cost much."

"Then how is it possible? This time we took the lead, how can you spend more money, you can just send the date, and you don't need to book a hotel. I am the executive chef of Hilton and InterContinental Hotel, or we ourselves There are hotels, and I will arrange it for you when the time comes."

"Okay, then I will trouble Mr. Zhou."

"No trouble, no trouble, let's do this first. I'm really sorry to disturb your rest at noon today. I'll treat you to dinner when you come later."

"it's okay no problem."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Chen Nian hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Nian also began to think about it. Originally, he was thinking about taking on some more work, whether it was going to a variety show or cooking a family banquet for others, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

Feng Honghong also heard Chen Nian calling over there, so after hanging up the phone, she ran over to ask Chen Nian if he would be on a business trip in a few days.

"Yeah, Mom, didn't a special chef come to our restaurant to eat before? We also got to know each other at that time, and he called me just now to invite me to join them in the chef competition, and I agreed. "

"Is this going to be on TV again? I seem to have seen this on TV before."

"It should be on TV. I remember it was broadcast on CCTV [-]?"

"CCTV!" Feng Honghong was shocked when she heard it!

"Son, you are becoming more and more promising now. You were on Mango Channel before, but this time you are going to be on CCTV. Now people all over the country will know you!"

Xiao Hua, who stayed in the store for a rest at noon, also listened to this: "Boss! You are going to become a big star!"

"That's going to be on TV. If I can be on CCTV once, I'd be willing to lose ten years of my life!"

After hearing this, Chen Nian wanted to go up and cover the girl's mouth: "What are you talking about, work hard here in the future, and you will definitely have the opportunity to be on TV, but you can't talk nonsense about the ten-year lifespan."

"Hey." Xiaohua laughed twice, but she looked at Chen Nian with admiration.

"Okay, I have to wait until the end of the year to participate in the competition. After our store is closed in a few days, I have to go to BJ to meet them."

"Go son, but remember to buy the air ticket earlier, don't be unable to buy it then."

"Mom, they bought the air ticket, and they will also arrange a hotel for me when the time comes."

"That's pretty good. Anyway, talk to people more, and it's always good to have a good relationship."

Chen Nian smiled: "Mom, you have to trust your son's communication skills."

"I believe it! Of course I believe it!" Feng Honghong's face was about to burst into joy, "Can I tell others about this?"

"It's better not to talk about it first, I'm not sure if they need to keep it secret, but if this matter is reported in advance, there will be no gimmick when the show is broadcast."

"Oh, I can't say it. I really want to tell them about it, but if I can't say it, then I can't. When the show airs, I have to tell them all to watch you."

For a while, I feel that I have new things to do.

However, before participating in the show, Chen Nian felt that he still had to rewatch the previous Chef Kings.

In the evening, An Hongdou was also very happy after learning about this. After all, this kind of serious variety show can still bring people fame.

Although sometimes the program team will engage in some nonsense, but usually the chefs can gain some loyal fans after the program is broadcast.

Also, the more Chen Nian participated in these shows, the more people would invite him.

The people invited by variety shows are usually those who are in the limelight and have a lot of traffic.

Now Chen Nian is no longer considered a vegan. He said that normally, the appearance fee should be around [-], but after the broadcast of Chef King, the appearance fee must be more than [-].

Because compared to those old chefs, he is young, handsome and good at cooking, plus he has a singer girlfriend like himself, so he is definitely more likely to be noticed and loved.

If Chen Nian is willing, he can take advantage of these few years to make a good money, even if he gets old in the future, it doesn't matter at all.

But she knew that Chen Nian was definitely not this kind of person.

Just like An Hongdou herself doesn't take any job just for money.

But she is still very happy for the old age.

A few days later, Chen Nian finished all the lo-mei orders in his hand. On the last day, some people still didn't come to pick them up. Chen Nian also called them one by one and offered to deliver the goods to their door.

"It's finally settled."

"From tomorrow onwards, we will be on holiday here. During the Chinese New Year, we can eat and have fun at home, but we must pay attention to safety." After the evening business ended, Chen Nian looked at everyone and said.

"Have you all bought your tickets to go back?"

"Buy it." The apprentices nodded and said.

"That's good, where is Xiaohua? Are you going home for the New Year?" Then Chen Nian looked at Xiaohua again, mainly because the situation at Xiaohua's family is a bit complicated.

"I won't go back to that house in the future. I plan to stay here for the New Year. Anyway, it's the same when I go back. They all want to sell me, and none of those relatives will speak for me. It's better to stay. Be alone here in peace."

"Okay, you should have a refrigerator there, right?"

"some."

"There's still some lo mei left in the store, you take it back and put it in the refrigerator to eat, otherwise we'll all leave, and these food will be left over, and if you encounter any problems, please call me and I will know ?"

"Got it, boss!"
