Chapter 811 "Cheng Yaojin" Killed Halfway

The first press release sent out did not directly state that the Thai princess came to Chengdu to taste traditional Sichuan cuisine in person, but was just an article praising the revitalization of traditional Sichuan cuisine.

"Traditional Sichuan cuisine inspires new vitality, and Yipin chefs continue to restore the charm of old Sichuan cuisine." As soon as this press release was issued, different people had different feelings.

Generally speaking, the news about Chu Yunfeng's first grade is basically reported by online media, and there are also many entertainment media. However, as a serious official media, this is the first time.

And it's exclusive news, and the manuscript has a strong atmosphere of official media at first glance.

Zhang Xinran’s previous reports don’t count. They were reported incidentally, not exclusively, and not so formal.

Such an official report naturally attracted the attention of two other official media, one in Yangcheng and the other in Yangzhou.

At the end of this article, it is mentioned implicitly that the restored traditional Sichuan cuisine has attracted the attention of many overseas celebrities, and there is also an intention to take traditional Sichuan cuisine abroad.

This kind of article is roughly the same as the copy I prepared here. The only differences are the different cuisines and the different characters promoted.

Most of all, I didn’t mention the names, but it’s obvious that this is a “test the waters” article, and there must be a follow-up, as the old people in the official media know very well.

Could it be that some big shot is about to visit Chengdu in search of delicious food?

As a part of cultural exchange, the more such news, the better, but thinking about the current state banquet in Thailand, the veteran writers in the Propaganda Department are not calm.

"Chief, something is wrong. Why do I feel like our article has been known in advance? This whole copywriting looks like a copy of ours?"

As a veteran writer who has worked in the Publicity Department for decades, his sense of smell is very sensitive. If this article was just reported by media other than the official media, it would not attract my attention at all.

"Rongcheng? Sichuan food?
This shouldn't be possible. This time, the princess called for light dishes. You can't let them serve spicy hot pot, can you? "

Section Chief Zhao laughed as he spoke, and he already knew very clearly before that the delegation from Thailand had never been to Rongcheng at all.

The old penman didn't think so. He read the entire article carefully. It mentioned that traditional Sichuan cuisine is mainly non-spicy, and he also specially ordered two exquisite dishes that were recently restored.

Bamboo fungus liver paste soup and net oil steamed rice balls are so boastful that I am a little ashamed. Although no photos have been released, just looking at the description, I have the urge to taste it immediately.

"This article mentions that traditional Sichuan cuisine is mostly non-spicy. Is there any article in it?"

Although I am a little unsure about the suspicions in my heart, I still need to remind the section chief.

"Non-spicy dishes? Is traditional Sichuan cuisine still good at making non-spicy dishes?"

When Section Chief Zhao heard this, he also faintly felt something was wrong, so he read the press release again, and then took a look at the unit that issued the article.

Chengdu Propaganda Department!
Section Chief Zhao began to feel a little uneasy. The main reason was that it was almost time to get off work, and there was no feedback from the other side.

Is this a little different from what we promised before?

It stands to reason that this inspection team has returned to China this morning and should arrive before noon. Judging from their anxious attitude, they should report as soon as possible.

And after the cuisine is decided, there has to be a period of preparation here. If you want to fly there for a state banquet, it is not as simple as going to the street to make fried rice.

Section Chief Zhao quickly picked up the landline phone on the table and pressed a few buttons quickly, feeling anxious.

Answer the phone quickly!
"Hey, Zhao"

The chef of Howard Johnson Holiday Inn had just connected when he heard Section Chief Zhao on the opposite side quickly ask: "Has the call in Thailand been connected? What's the latest situation?"

The chef was cooking in the back kitchen at the moment, and the sound here was too noisy. After asking the chef next to him to stand up, he quickly came to the side and replied: "I called you five minutes ago, but the other party's phone was still turned off.

Maybe it is still reporting to the princess, and it should not be turned on during this report. "

The chef's idea is normal. Important meetings in China require the mobile phone to be muted. Reporting to the princess may be more important. It is normal to turn off the phone.

"Hurry up and get in touch again. No matter what method you use, you must find out the specific situation clearly before leaving get off work today."

After Section Chief Zhao finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone, and then called the chefs of each restaurant again. The content was the same, asking everyone to understand the current situation in Thailand immediately.

After receiving the call, Wang Ziqiang began to feel suspicious. Section Chief Zhao's tone seemed a little anxious, with a slight feeling of frustration.

Could it be that something unexpected happened in this matter?

Shouldn't be possible?

Could it be that this opportunity was snatched away by Huaiyang cuisine?
After thinking of such a possibility, Wang Ziqiang began to feel a little uneasy. He quickly took out his mobile phone and called Zhalun. After a call, it still turned off.

I would make a call to Zhalun every 10 minutes. In order not to miss every 10 minutes, I would even use an alarm clock to remind me on time. I felt a little bit obsessive-compulsive.

"Why is it still turned off?"

Wang Ziqiang thought for a while, and then called a restaurant that made Huaiyang cuisine. The chef of the restaurant had a good relationship with him, and the two of them were inquiring about each other.

"Old Song, how are you doing there? Have you received any news about being selected? I heard that your chances are better this time?"

Wang Ziqiang has been in the world for a long time, and his speech is impeccable. He also compliments the other party, of course, just to make jokes.

The other party didn't quite understand Wang Ziqiang's routine, but said frankly: "It's not as simple as you said. Up to now, the other party has not reported any information back.

The Propaganda Department just called us and asked us to contact them again to see what the situation is. This time has been delayed a bit too long. "

Old Song's words made Wang Ziqiang vigilant, and he began to notice something wrong. The propaganda departments on both sides seemed to be stepping up to ask about this matter.

Then something must have caught their attention, so they are so anxious to make progress.

But what exactly will this key message be?

"What happened?"

Wu Junjie saw that the expression on Wang Ziqiang's face was a little unnatural, so he put down the carving knife in his hand and asked with a hint of curiosity.

Wang Ziqiang frowned and did not speak. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and opened his address book and started searching.

The difference from other chefs is that they only left the phone number of the leader of the inspection team, but he was more thoughtful and also left the contact information of other members.

"Something seems to have happened unexpectedly. I'll ask first, maybe this time the opportunity will be overturned."

Wang Ziqiang initially thought that Huaiyang Cuisine had won the opportunity, but when he heard that the other party was also a little anxious, the publicity department had done the same thing as here, which was a bit intriguing.

"Isn't it possible? With the two dishes we added later, we are sure to win this state banquet. I really don't believe anyone can compete with us!"

Wu Junjie turned the carving knife quickly in his hand, the movement was very skillful, and there was a faint feeling of magic.

Wang Ziqiang couldn't help but smile when he heard Wu Junjie's confident words. His wrinkles disappeared instantly. After hearing that the call was connected, he immediately handed it to Wu Junjie.

I don’t speak English, so it’s best to leave it to him.

Wang Ziqiang felt secretly happy at this moment. If it came to first-hand information, then he was definitely the only one here. It seemed that he was the only one who understood the simple truth of having a first-hand knowledge of anything.

His happy and excited mood did not last long. When he saw Wu Junjie's expression gradually becoming very serious, Wang Ziqiang knew that things were in trouble.

Although I couldn't understand what Junjie was saying, I gradually became excited when I saw him. His speech speed increased a bit, and he seemed to be confirming something with the other person repeatedly?
Was there really an accident?

Was it really snatched away by Huaiyang Cuisine?

Why is it so small?
What is the problem?

Has everything he carefully planned come to nothing?

Sure enough, seeing Wu Junjie's extremely unhappy expression after hanging up the phone, Wang Ziqiang asked calmly: "Is there really an accident?"

Wu Junjie narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded helplessly. It could be seen that the three words "unconvinced" were written all over his face.

"It was snatched by Huaiyang cuisine, right?

Alas~!People are not as good as heaven, maybe because the princess is more interested in dishes with a touch of literati flavor?

Coupled with the advantage of having the preferred dish for the state banquet, the other party must have seized these advantages and gained some advantages in front of the princess.

Actually we should be on the menu.”

Wang Ziqiang began to analyze some of the reasons for the failure of this plan with some gloom. In fact, most of them were to enlighten Wu Junjie, but as he was talking, he heard him say a sentence that made him "wow".

"The princess flew to Rongcheng with the inspection team."

"You should learn more from Sichuan cuisine. Didn't you learn the Snowflake Chicken Noodles? We should also join in. This is...
Wait, what did you just say?
Did they go to Chengdu?

Who went to Chengdu? "

Immersed in his professional analysis, Wang Ziqiang seemed to understand what Wu Junjie was talking about for a while, but he couldn't believe it for a while.

"Rongcheng, Yipin, Chu Yunfeng!"

After Wu Junjie said these three keywords, he revealed the carving knife in his hand again, picked up the pumpkin on the kitchen table and started carving it very quickly and without saying a word.

Wang Ziqiang finally came back to his senses, and then remembered that he saw Ma Fu at the door of the hotel last night. At that time, Wu Junjie reminded himself not to underestimate Chu Yunfeng.

In such a short night, he was able to make a comeback so easily?
"Young people, don't talk about martial arts!"

Wang Ziqiang roared with grief and anger in his heart.
On the plane, Nava had already "confessed" that he had called in advance, and Chu Yunfeng and the others also expressed a warm welcome and asked the princess to punish him.

It was said to be a punishment, but of course it was just a formality. The princess just said a few words verbally, but secretly sighed in her heart that this and that one was very good at doing things.

At the same time, I am also looking forward to tonight’s dinner. Nava said that there will be two dishes from the boutique, and these two dishes are the dishes that Master Chu has just restored and have never been displayed in the boutique.

In this way, we can see the sincerity of the other party, especially since they have arranged a place to stay at the Star Hotel. Princess Silena is very satisfied with these arrangements.

And I also brought them some small gifts, presumably they will like it very much.

Especially the gourmet food in the boutique, if the quota is won, if these dishes can make me love them, then I will give Chu Yunfeng a mysterious gift that I carefully selected and brought over.

If he sees this gift, he will definitely like it very much. After all, for Yipin, nothing is more attractive than it.

Mu Qing did not send a car to pick them up at the airport because they had already arranged the car themselves. After getting in the car, Zhalun and Songpa couldn't wait any longer and immediately turned on their mobile phones.

This turned on was life-threatening. As soon as the signal came in, I found that the phone was stuck, as if it was frozen and there was no response no matter how hard I pressed it.

This was the first time they encountered such a situation, and both of them didn't quite understand what happened?
I really wanted to take out the battery and install it back, but I saw that the display light on the phone was still flashing, indicating that it was working, so I had to wait patiently.

After waiting for 5 minutes, I finally saw my phone and took a breath. Then I realized that I had received thousands of text messages and countless missed calls.
Text messages are still being sent, but the phone is already saying that the mailbox is full and cannot be received.
Just when the two of them wanted to check the text message, the call had already come.

"What? Are you in China? Just flew over from Thailand?"

"Which city are you in now?"

"What? Rongcheng?"

"What are you doing in Rongcheng?"

"What? The princess personally led a delegation to inspect Sichuan cuisine?"

"On your way to the hotel for a banquet?"

"Which hotel is it?"

"can not say?"

"Reveal it, and I will be grateful!"

"Or not?"

"Does the itinerary need to be kept secret? Have you disclosed your itinerary to Chengdu against the rules?"

"What's the situation? Tell me more clearly?"

"Hey, hey, why is the signal not good?"

It seems that because the mobile phone memory is occupied too much, the quality of the call is not very good, and the two mobile phones can no longer communicate.

After turning off their mobile phones, the two of them sighed deeply and did not dare to reveal any more information. The news of the princess coming to Chengdu could be found out even if they did not tell others until later.

And telling everyone this news in advance is also a thank you for your warm hospitality before. Now it's the princess who makes up her own mind, so let's all be well.

Those who knew the news shouted "f*ck", this was Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway, and then began to look for connections to find out where the princess went to taste food.

Then he began to plan various tricks and prepared to go to Chengdu to contact him again to see if he could make the princess change his mind.

Everyone is very depressed. The princess went to Rongcheng in person to prove that she must have a favorite restaurant. Everyone is guessing who is this Cheng Yaojin who came out halfway?

The most depressing ones were the section chiefs of the Yangcheng and Yangzhou Propaganda Departments. In the afternoon, they were talking to the Propaganda Department in Rongcheng.

But it's only been an hour, and the reversal came so quickly, just when he was about to call again to criticize the other party for not teaching martial arts.

Suddenly I saw the other party re-issuing a press release: "The charm of traditional Sichuan cuisine, the Thai princess personally went to Chengdu to inspect it."

In addition, after hearing the echo of "the phone you dialed has been turned off", the phone in his hand "slapped" down.
