Counterattack 1988

Chapter 1419
Although the banquet was for Bai Lan's birthday, because Wang Lin was present, everyone naturally took Wang Lin as the center.

The main seat was taken by Wang Lin, and it was useless for him to refuse repeatedly.

Bai Lan and Tan Yiyi sat on Wang Lin's left and right sides respectively.

Wang Lin and Tan Yiyi talked about the TV station holding the new God of Cookery Competition. After Bai Lan heard it, she smiled and said, "Miss Tan, since you have confidence in your skills, why don't you participate in the competition? The bigwigs in the world bow their heads to you."

Tan Yiyi said: "Cooking competitions have a positive role in promoting the development of the culinary industry. Chefs participating in the competition and exchanging cooking skills with outstanding chefs from all over the country and even from other countries are conducive to broadening their horizons and improving their own skills. In the competition In the competition, you can also win honors for yourself and your own company, make yourself famous in the culinary world, and enhance your own value. Through the competition, you can also make more friends with excellent culinary skills."

Wang Lindao: "It turns out that you understand the meaning of the God of Cookery Competition better than I do. In recent years, all kinds of cooking competitions have been very popular. For chefs, this is a good thing. During the competition, chefs from all over the country can compete. Communication and discussion can produce many things, which is very beneficial to your chef industry."

Tan Yiyi said: "Of course it is beautiful to be willing. Cooking competitions pay more attention to plate layout and visual effects. For example, to carve some shapes of dragons, phoenixes or small animals, which will naturally look better. However, such a plate layout , it is very impractical to serve food in reality. For example, it is not something that can be completed in one or two hours when I carve a dragon. It is impossible for customers to come into the store, right? If I carve in advance, After putting it on for a while, the dish deteriorated again. The only thing that can be reflected is the knife skills."

Wang Lin said with a smile: "It makes sense. For good-looking dishes, there is no need to pay attention to carving or presentation. The color, fragrance and taste are all in place, and the taste is the first. If you put a flower, it is not good if it is not delicious."

Tan Yiyi said: "Moreover, in many competitions, because of the relationship between the organizing committee and the judging panel, there will always be shortcomings of one kind or another, and there may even be inside stories and internal appointments, which go against the original intention of the competition."

Wang Lindao: "This is an open competition, so we shouldn't engage in this kind of thing."

Tan Yiyi said: "Also, our Tan family cuisine has long been famous all over the world. Now we go to Shanghai to participate in a local culinary competition. If we win the first prize, people who know it will say that we are a blow to reduce dimensionality. People with hindsight will say that we are pretending to be pigs and eating tigers. If I don’t win the first prize, then what is the significance of my participation in this competition?”

Wang Lin smiled and said, "If you really participate in this competition, can you secure the first place?"

Tan Yiyi said: "Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. The taste of this dish, who do you think will dare to take the first place? Hunan cuisine and Sichuan cuisine chefs compete on the same stage, who do you think will take the first place? If it is the eight major Compete among cuisines, who can take the first place?"

Wang Lindao: "Then it's indistinguishable. To be honest, I have eaten all eight major cuisines, and each is good at winning. If I really want to rank first, I really can't say."

Tan Yiyi said: "This is the difficulty. If there is a culinary competition for Tan's family cuisine, then I will definitely participate. I don't care if I don't get the first place. I know about the culinary competition held by Shencheng. , there are some deficiencies in the formulation of the rules of the game. The God of Cookery selected in this way, does he really dare to call himself the number one in the world?"

Wang Lindao: "I have eaten the meals made by Comrade Zhang Nanyang, the last God of Cookery, and they are far inferior to your craftsmanship. This is the truth, not a compliment."

Tan Yiyi pursed her lips and smiled: "This is what you think, but if I compete with him, the judges may not necessarily think so. Nine out of ten pots and stoves are different. Although the lamb is beautiful, it is difficult for everyone to taste it. The dishes pay attention to color, fragrance There are five aspects of meaning and shape, and knife skills, heat, and seasoning are the three core cooking techniques. After all, food is for people to eat. Some people like to eat fine meat and fine food, while others like to drink in large bowls and eat meat in large pieces. Some people like the original taste of the ingredients, while others like the richness of the ingredients."

Wang Lindao: "Your words remind me of one thing. We modern people learn Confucius from the Analects. We learn whatever is in the Analects. But Confucius pays attention to teaching students according to their aptitude. It is said that at that time, Confucius treats different students with different teaching methods. Ran Qiu usually works timidly, so Confucius encourages him to advance bravely; Zhong You is usually brave, so Confucius makes him retreat modestly. He will train students according to the differences in their hobbies. Multi-directional talents. But modern people swallow jujubes and learn everything, so they feel that Confucius’ words and deeds are inconsistent or even contradictory.”

Tan Yiyi said: "Yes, that's the reason. We treat food in the same way. When a person is used to Hunan cuisine and suddenly eats light and delicious Cantonese cuisine, he will treat it as a delicacy and think this dish is delicious. The reverse is also true. So the judges' evaluation has too much subjectivity."

Wang Lindao: "Since that's the case, then you shouldn't participate in this competition!"

Tan Yiyi said: "No, I have to participate."

Wang Lin was stunned: "After talking for a long time, why do you still want to participate?"

Tan Yiyi said: "If I don't participate, people will say that I have stage fright if they find out, and think that I, Tan Jiacai, are afraid of all the master chefs in Shanghai!"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Why do you care about other people's opinions?"

Tan Yiyi said: "We open a store to do business, and what we do is competition! Where there is competition, there will be a distinction between high and low! Instead of waiting for others to question and kick the gym, it is better to take the initiative and beat them in the ring."

Wang Lindao: "But you also said just now that no one is sure of winning in the way of cooking."

Tan Yiyi said: "Even if I don't get the first place, I'm not defeated."

Wang Lindao: "How to say?"

Tan Yiyi said: "That's what I think. If I can get the title of God of Cookery, our Zhuli Pavilion in Shencheng will naturally be the icing on the cake."

Wang Lin nodded: "Well, that's the truth."

Tan Yiyi said: "If I lose, it will be more interesting. I believe that the mouths of the people are the best word of mouth. They have eaten my dishes, but after eating the so-called God of Cookery dishes, they will naturally have An arbitrariness. Wouldn’t it be a great irony if most people think that I, who has lost my reputation, can cook better than the God of Cookery?”

Wang Lin laughed loudly and said, "You are still very conceited!"

Tan Yiyi said: "I want to meet the famous chefs in Shanghai!"

Wang Lin said: "Okay! Then I will sign up for you."

Tan Yiyi hummed.

The food and drink came up one after another.

It was the first time Wang Lin had dinner with a member of the model team, and he said that everyone does not need to toast my wine, but to the birthday star.

Bai Lan quickly waved her hand and said, "I don't know how to drink, that's all right, let's have a drink together! Drinking is as easy as you want, and drink as many as you can."

Everyone agrees.

The dishes here really did not disappoint Wang Lin and the others, the taste was top-notch.

It took over an hour for a meal.

When it was almost the end, the waiter pushed the cake in.

Wang Lin gave her [-] yuan to buy the biggest cake, and she really bought a super big cake.

The bottom layer is 20 inches, and there are six more layers on top!

A 20-inch cake has a diameter of 50 centimeters, and with several layers of small cakes, it is more than enough for more than thirty people.

It was the first time for the members of the model team to see such a big cake. After seeing it, they screamed wow, wow.

The women screamed even more: "What a big cake! It's so romantic! Mr. Wang bought it!"

Bai Lan even covered her face with her hands, the corners of her eyes were sour, and she shed tears of emotion.

"Mr. Wang, thank you! It's the first time I've grown up to eat a cake! I can eat such a good cake as soon as I eat it!" Bai Lan grabbed Wang Lin's hand excitedly.

Everyone was full of praise for the wonderful taste of the cake, and everyone praised its deliciousness.

After eating the cake, Bai Lan wanted to pay the bill, so she hurriedly asked her colleagues to chip in the money.

Although her movements and voice were very quiet, Wang Lin could still hear her.

"Bai Lan!" Wang Lin waved at her and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it. The order has already been bought."

"Ah?" Bai Lan asked in surprise, "Mr. Wang, did you buy it? I didn't see you get up? When did you pay the bill?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "When we came in, I told my driver to buy the bill."

Bai Lan couldn't bear it anymore, two lines of hot tears fell down instantly.

"Mr. Wang! How can you be so embarrassing?" Bai Lan choked up and said, "So much money!"

Wang Lindao: "What's the big deal? Is it worth your tears? I'm very happy that you invited me over for your birthday. Of course I came for such a trivial matter as paying the bill. You won't look down on me and want to return the money to me, right?" ?”

Bai Lan chuckled: "I know Mr. Wang is rich, so I don't care about this little money. But for us, this is a huge sum of money."

Wang Lin said: "Okay, shall we go?"

Bai Lan said: "Mr. Wang, we will go to the dance hall tonight, you must go, and I must pay the bill."

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Okay! The next thing, you arrange!"

Bai Lan smiled sweetly, and there was still a drop of crystal tear hanging on her face!
When he came to the place, Wang Lin got out of the car and took a look, and said with a smile, "Yumei Song and Dance Hall?"

Bai Lan said: "Mr. Wang, you also know this place? Mr. Zhang told you, right?"

Wang Lin raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, Mr. Zhang told you to come here for consumption?"

Bai Lan said: "Anyway, I'm out to play, where is it not for fun? It can also take care of Mr. Zhang's sister-in-law's business!"

Tan Yiyi said in a low voice: "This Mr. Zhang is very good at doing business! If the hundreds of thousands of people in the Aixiu Group come here for consumption, this dance hall will become prosperous."

Wang Lin hummed, noncommittal.

The crowd went in.

Liu Mei was talking to her subordinates at the front desk, she glanced at the door out of the corner of her eye, saw Wang Lin walking in, she couldn't help being surprised, she left her subordinates aside, and trotted over, her high heels hit the clean floor, making a musical sound.

"Hello, Mr. Wang!" There was a burst of fragrant wind, and then a beauty directly took Wang Lin's arm.

Wang Lin smiled awkwardly: "Don't be like this, others will think what's going on between us when they see it!"

Liu Mei said: "Oh, what are you afraid of! You are my distinguished guest, and you are also my elder brother! Mr. Wang, thank you for coming, how many people? I will arrange it."

Wang Lin pointed to the model team: "Here, there are so many, about thirty of them. Is there room in the big private room?"

Liu Mei said: "The big private room can fit in, but it's crowded! Mr. Wang, is this okay? I'll arrange three private rooms? You can't wait too long for everyone to sing."

Wang Lin said: "Alright, that's it."

When Bai Lan heard that there were three big bags, she couldn't help feeling bitter again.

Consumption here is not cheap!
The luxurious large private room can accommodate thirty people. If everyone squeezes together, one large private room is actually enough, and it is still lively!

Now that Wang Lin has opened his mouth, it will be divided into three private rooms. It is easy to rotate wheat for singing, but the purse is about to bleed again.

The private room fee is not expensive, the expensive ones are other consumption, drinks, and accompanying singers.

Divided into three private rooms, who knows if the people in the other two private rooms will spend vigorously?
After this game, the money to pay the bill will be gone!
Bai Lan was suffering in her heart, but she greeted everyone to go upstairs with a smile on her face.

She originally wanted a large private room, and two small private rooms were enough, but Liu Mei directly arranged three large private rooms.

It's still early, before the time to pick up passengers, there are many empty private rooms.

Wang Lin, Tan Yiyi and others were in a private room.

Bai Lan arranged for other people to also come to the private room where Wang Lin was.

Wang Lin likes to listen to songs, but he is not very interested in singing, so he sits and listens to them singing.

Liu Mei sat down beside Wang Lin familiarly, giggled and said, "Mr. Wang, let me call some younger girls over to sing with you?"

Wang Lindao: "As for your little sister, is there a model from my company who looks good?"

Bai Lan and other female models straightened their waists immediately, all of them were dignified and beautiful, and they were simply a charming landscape.

Liu Mei took a look and said with a smile: "The style is different! The models are good-looking, but unfortunately they don't understand the style! Even if a man has a wife who looks like a fairy, don't he still want to come out to play? Isn't he just wanting to meet different women? ? The women in our house have sweet voices, soft-spoken, gentle and nice, and they only pick what men like to say."

Wang Lin said: "No need, there are so many of us!"

Liu Mei said: "Then that's good. I'll stay with Mr. Wang, shall I? I'll peel a banana for you."

Wang Lin said: "Liu Mei, there's no need to do this, you go and do your work!"

Liu Mei said: "It's rare for Mr. Wang to come to my small shop. My task is to accompany you. Everything else is secondary. In this box, there must be a waiter who can order songs and pour water for you, right? Mr. Wang doesn't want others to serve him, so I will serve him myself."

Wang Lin had no choice but to let her sit.

Liu Mei is completely different from her sister. This person has grown up in the rivers and lakes, and she has grown up. She has a wink when talking and chatting.

What's more, she has an amazing capacity for drinking and is very good at persuading her to drink.

After sitting down for less than half an hour, she had persuaded Wang Lin, Tan Yiyi, Bai Lan and others to drink three bottles of white wine, and the beer was counted by the piece!
Bai Lan silently calculated the price, wondering if he had enough money in his pocket to pay the bill.

If I knew it earlier, I would have taken more money with me. Where can I find money in the middle of the night?
