A trip starting from the courtyard

Chapter 566 Opening of Gray Whale Flagship Store

While Wang Lidong and Li Zhaonian were chatting, a couple of men and women came outside the gate of the restaurant.

Seeing the visitor, Qin Hongmian smiled and said:
"Miss, Mr. Lu, welcome."

Jiang Lai glanced at Qin Hongmian, who looked familiar but couldn't recognize his name, looked at the badge, and knew that it was the new restaurant manager: "Xiao Qin, congratulations." Then he said: "You are the only one to welcome guests, Jiang Haokun not coming?"

"Thank you Miss, Mr. Lu." Smiling, he took the two flower baskets and asked a follower to place Jiang Lai's flower baskets in a conspicuous place. "Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang just arrived not long ago."

Glancing at Lu Yuan and Qin Hongmian, who was pretending to be wearing sunglasses in the winter, he was a little speechless. If this person knew that today was a gift
"They used the box?"

"I don't use the box, just sit in the hall."

"Hao Kun, your sister and future brother-in-law are here."

Xu Hui, the successor of Haihui Real Estate, elbowed Wang Lidong beside him, and gestured towards the door.

A group of people chatting vigorously in front of the transparent glass wall looked at the gate together.

It is obvious to all that Jiang Haokun loves his own girls. If there is a ranking list of girls who love him in the world, this guy will definitely rank in the top three.

Unexpectedly, the siblings fell out
"Jiang Haokun, you didn't send me and Jiang Lai an invitation when the restaurant opened, it's not enough buddies." Seeing Wang Lidong, Lu Yuan laughed and opened his arms: "When Jiang Lai and I opened the restaurant, I sent you an invitation." Why didn't you come?"

"Lu Yuan, don't do this. You should be eager to get rid of me now." Wang Lidong patted Lu Yuan's hand away, and said lightly: "But you can pretend since you were young, otherwise how could you deceive so many girls to surround you?" I'm following you."

"Brother, congratulations!" Jiang Lai sent his blessings with a smile, and looked at the scene inside the glass wall: "Why is it so empty, where is the cook? I'm here for the three-star chef today."

Pasted it on the glass wall, looked it over, and found it was empty, Lu Yuan said strangely:

"Why is there no one? It is stated on the homepage of your company's APP that today there will be three Michelin-starred chefs in charge of the restaurant. One of them is my old acquaintance named Grant Achez. In 3, We did the Chef America Grand Prix together, where he was runner-up and I was the champion."

"Grant Achez you are talking about, is it the Achez who invented "Molecular Gastronomy"?"

"It's him. He recently opened a restaurant in Chicago, and he calls me every now and then, asking me to try it and give me some advice."

Li Zhaonian asked in a low voice: "Hao Kun, what is molecular cuisine new? Why have I never heard of it?"

Looking at Lu Yuan, who was pretending to be very happy, Wang Lidong explained: "Simply put, it is to use modern equipment and technology to recreate known food by "renovating" it, so that the food we are familiar with has a brand new flavor. Appearance and taste.

For example, you go to this kind of restaurant to eat and order a fried poached egg.When the waiter delivers this dish, when you eat it, you realize that the egg yolk is mango juice and the egg white is disguised as yogurt."

Li Zhaonian suddenly said:

"It's been this thing for a long time. Our ancestors invented this thing hundreds of years ago, isn't it imitating meat and vegetarian food!"

"The concept is similar. There are more types, a set of high-end equipment, some food additives, some pretentiousness, gimmicks are greater than innovations!

Just like our real estate, if you add words like 'green, smart' in front, it will immediately become taller, and then you can sell thousands more per square meter. "

Li Zhaonian smiled and nodded at Wang Lidong: "This is not what your family is best at."

Wang Lidong said contemptuously: "My family has a few things. I went to see your house that was put on sale two months ago. In the middle of the square, I dug a pit about ten square meters, filled it with several tons of tap water, and sprinkled it with a few pieces of grass. Leaf, also shamelessly called a lake view room."

"It's so lively, Brother Kun, Brother Nian."

Su Dada's female voice rang in my ears, and Qin Qiaoyun, who was wearing a blue cheongsam, twisted and twisted to the front of the crowd, "Hey, isn't this Lai Lai and your chef boyfriend?"

"Qiaoyun, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful." Looking at the slits that are almost at the base of the thighs, you are very flamboyant. The daughter of Vientiane Real Estate has a face value of 80 and a figure of 85, but it is a pity that she is a little bit wasteful .He scanned the seven or eight family friends around him, and reckoned that all of them had disturbed this vat.

Pity.

"Brother Kun, I haven't seen you in two months, but you are getting better at talking," Qin Qiaoyun moved closer to Lu Yuan, "Lai Lai restaurant opened two days ago, I went there, his boyfriend Lu Yuan's cooking skills are quite good .Lai Lai has vision, and found a three-star chef to be her boyfriend. If you get hungry in the middle of the night, you can have a big meal anytime, anywhere.”

Why does this sound so intriguing?
Waste!

Several women vomited in unison.
"Samsung? Hehe" Wang Lidong smiled noncommittally.

"Hao Kun, listen to what you mean, what does Jiang Lai's boyfriend, the three-star chef, have to say?" Qin Qiaoyun's husband suddenly appeared beside the crowd. It has long existed in name but in name only, and they all play their own games, but at least in public places
Wang Lidong looked at Lu Yuan: "Lu Yuan, why don't you tell everyone, how did you get here as a three-star chef?"

Lu Yuan shook his legs, hey hey twice: "Jiang Haokun, listen to what you mean, my Samsung Chef label can still be stolen!"

Wang Lidong said: "It's about the same. You didn't steal it, but someone gave it to you."

A rookie in culinary arts, who has gone from peeling potatoes to a three-star Michelin chef in less than two years, even an online novel dare not write like this.

Like the little boss of the world, and the protagonist in any gourmet comics, it also took several years to really treat cooking as a play!

"Send it to me?!" Lu Yuan sneered: "I was just a small cook at the time, and I was from all over the world. I would never have more than 1000 yuan in my wallet. I didn't know the place well. Who would be so kind? I'm not like you. I have a Rich dad."

"Yeah, Samsung cook, will the Gallic chicken be given away? Impossible?"

"How do you know you won't give it away?"

"It's not that there are no parallel imports, I have encountered several."

Wang Lidong glanced at the melon-eaters around him, and said, "Have you ever heard that a 3-star Michelin chef can't find a job, so he can only go to a fast food restaurant to make hamburgers?"

Everyone shook their heads.

a fast food shop? !

This is not a joke.

Unless there are tens of thousands of Michelin stars in the world, it is impossible for cooks of this level to lose their jobs.Just like Shazhu in the Qingman Courtyard, his cooking skills are about one star. He goes out to help others cook during holidays. After a month, he will not be less than his salary. During the holidays, he has to catch up with several events in a busy day.

Wang Lidong pointed to Lu Yuan and said, "This man has been unemployed for 7 years. He lived by doing odd jobs in America, and found a job only after returning to Sihai."

Jiang Lai interjected and explained: "Jiang Haokun, don't you know why Lu Yuan lost his job? His sense of taste was out of balance and he recovered after returning to the world."

Wang Lidong sneered and said, "Who told you that you can't cook without a sense of taste? At this level, even if your sense of taste is out of balance, you may not be sure about innovative dishes, and you need others to help you taste the taste, but you still need to taste the dishes you are used to? "

He was born as a cook in the main world, cooking and preparing ingredients are all based on experience and feeling.

There are only two times when you will taste the saltiness of the dishes.Encounter customer complaints, or test new dishes.

Of course, there is another situation, I will try every dish I cook——when I first entered the industry.
"Hao Kun is right. A cook in my family doesn't have a good sense of taste, but the dishes he cooks are always good."

"Your old Hao?"

"Just him."

"Then what level is this Lu Yuan?"

Wang Lidong glanced at the diners around: "A while ago, this guy was the chef at Gray Whale for a while, and now he is the chef at the cloud restaurant across the street. Someone should have tasted his craft."

"I have eaten several dishes made by him at Gray Whale, and they are so amazing that they are at the level of one star"

"I ate once in the cloud two days ago. The cooking is good. I guess it has two stars."

"one star."

"."

Wang Lidong looked at Lu Yuan and said, "Eight years ago, you were the chef of Samsung. Why have you regressed after so many years? Lu Yuan, you will not turn 40 this year, and you don't look like premature aging."

Qin Qiaoyun's husband cheered and said:
"Then why did Michelin throw the three-star hat on his head?"

Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Let's think about the relationship between Sihai and America from 05 to 09?"

Someone said:
"I remember that the relationship between the two countries was very good at that time. The economy of Sihai was still ranked fourth in the world at that time. Although it was a bit of a threat, it was far behind America. In addition, America had just been threatened and two buildings collapsed. , followed by the Zhongdong War, and the Great Pyrenees miraculously rose up again. America’s Defense Minister also publicly shouted that it was the “best relationship between the two countries in more than 30 years. "
