Rebirth: Starting from the Cafeteria

After some guys who were secretly watching the fish restaurant found out, they retreated.

As the owner of Xichuan Restaurant, Seafood House and Northwest Noodle House, and also the vice president of the Municipal Association, not many people are willing to offend Du Shaojie for this matter.

People with more extensive personal connections know that Du Shaojie has a close relationship with Lin Zhiyuan from the city. Who would come and cause trouble for no other reason?

Mr. and Mrs. Wu Dazhu felt fortunate that the crisis they faced was resolved without a trace.

I'm glad I made the right choice.

"Boss Du, you are a very loyal person. I heard about the incident at the fish restaurant. If it weren't for you, the original owner would have been able to keep that piece of land."

After Lin Zhiyuan learned about this, he even called Du Shaojie.

In the past, everyone liked to go to the fish restaurant for gatherings. Being far away has its advantages, not to mention that Du Shaojie now has a stake in it.

"It doesn't matter. It's just a small favor."

Du Shaojie also felt that reality was quite magical. Unknowingly, he had become a "big shot" who could protect others from wind and rain.

In fact, he has long been a giant in the catering industry. When others were still fighting alone, he had already achieved corporatization and chain operation. This is the benefit of foresight.

The two chatted for about ten minutes, and then Lin Zhiyuan had to go to a meeting, so they ended the call.

Recently, Du Shaojie has selected two confidants to go to the fish restaurant, one to manage the kitchen and the other to manage the finances. He doesn't have to worry about anything in the future.

Taking advantage of the nice autumn weather, he went on a driving trip with Wang Yongli and others.

This time he was going to Hongzhou. The Hongzhou branch of Xichuan Restaurant was about to open, so he could drive there to enjoy the scenery.

On the road.

Du Shaojie sat in the back seat with his eyes closed, Wang Yongli sat in the passenger seat, and the driver was the new driver Zou Xiaohe.

Zou Xiaohe is 23 years old and is also a veteran. He used to be a car soldier and has good driving skills and good agility.

You have to be careful when driving across provinces. Although social security has improved a lot after three years of crackdown, it is still incomparable to later times. With Zou Xiaohe and Wang Yongli around, Du Shaojie felt much more at ease.

He seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but in fact he was taking stock of his recent gains.

During this long period of time, a total of 160 dishes received the comprehensive evaluation of "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver", which also added 16 redemption points and 320 million hours of time income to him.

The consumption is not too much, a total of 30 hours were consumed over such a long period of time.

[Exchange points: 753918 points\1377066 points]

【Duration: 711 million hours\2277.30 million hours】

The remaining exchange points and duration both hit record highs. He suddenly felt like a "nouveau riche" and felt very happy.

Since they were not in a hurry, they stopped and walked along the way. Whether it was a larger city or a small county, Du Shaojie was willing to stop and taste the local food.

Once you arrive in Hongzhou, you'll find an even richer variety of delicious food.

Du Shaojie felt that the local cuisine was inseparable from the word "spicy", which was in line with his taste.

"Boss Du, it seems like you are very used to Gan cuisine. I just can't get enough of it because it's too spicy."

On the second day after arriving in Hongzhou, Meng Gang and Su Dapeng also arrived.

This time, a [Xichuan Restaurant] and a [Northwest Noodle House] opened at the same time in Hongzhou, and the company's development has shown signs of accelerating.

Especially the [Northwest Noodle House], which basically follows the [Xichuan Restaurant]. Wherever there is a [Xichuan Restaurant], there must be a [Northwest Noodle House].

That night, the three of them went to a local old restaurant to eat Gan cuisine.

Du Shaojie ordered [Xishi Golden Thread Wrapped Prawns], [Braised Pork Knuckles in Clay Pot], [Xinya Four Treasures], [Stir-fried Bacon with Smoked Bamboo Shoots], [Wenshan Diced Chicken], etc.

"The spiciness of Gan cuisine is different from the spicy and numbing taste of Sichuan cuisine and the pungent taste of Hunan cuisine. It mainly emphasizes the fragrance, freshness and spiciness, with a moderate spiciness. Today's dish is a bit too spicy. We will try it in other restaurants later."

Du Shaojie was not completely unfamiliar with Gan cuisine, but he had rarely tried it before.

This time when he came to the hometown of Gan cuisine, he did not plan to leave in a hurry, but wanted to stay for a while and learn the preparation of Gan cuisine in a systematic way.

Gan cuisine does not belong to any of the "eight major cuisines", and some people jokingly call it the "ninth major cuisine". Regardless of whether this statement is reliable, the unique flavor of Gan cuisine still left a deep impression on him.

Because two stores were going to open tomorrow, the three of them didn't drink much and went back to the hotel to rest after dinner.

Du Shaojie brought some good tea with him, went back to the room and made a pot of tea, then invited Meng Gang and Su Dapeng to come over for a drink and chat.

"Mr. Meng, Dapeng, the company will soon implement the 'equity incentive' system. I am still considering the specific plan, but it will definitely be released in the first half of next year."

Meng Gang and Su Dapeng both work very hard and their work is very effective.

Su Dapeng was not so bad, after all, he owned a small portion of the shares of Northwest Noodle House, while Meng Gang had nothing except his salary and bonus.

After several years of cooperation, Du Shaojie recognized the other party from the bottom of his heart, so he brought up this topic at the right time.

Meng Gang was indeed deeply shocked. If he could own a small amount of shares in the company, even 1%, his status would be different. Although he knew that this was the boss's trick, he was still very moved.

Next, Meng Gang and Su Dapeng were like a wound-up alarm clock and couldn't stop at all.

After the opening ceremony, they flew to the next city for inspection, unlike someone who stayed in Hongzhou leisurely to eat, drink and have fun.

"Mr. Du, I've taken a fancy to a courtyard. Are you free today? Let's go take a look?" Staying in a hotel is inconvenient after all. After all, Du Shaojie wants to learn how to cook "Gan cuisine", so he can't leave the kitchen.

So he asked Wang Yongli to go look at houses and rent any suitable one.

He had nothing to do at the moment, so he asked Zou Xiaohe to prepare the car, and then he and Wang Yongli went to take a look at it later.

The house is generally nice and the yard is large.

Du Shaojie couldn't help but sigh that it was only these days that it was easy to find such courtyards in the city, but in the future such courtyards would be replaced by high-rise buildings.

The kitchen is also spacious and can burn coal. After all, gas cylinders are not yet popular, let alone piped natural gas.

When the landlord heard that Du Shaojie and others would only rent the house for one month, he became a little indifferent to them.

In the end, Wang Yongli added some money before the other party reluctantly rented the yard to them.

Of course, the kitchen is not a professional kitchen, so adding a blower will do the trick.

Du Shaojie first replicated a few dishes in a simulated scene, and then made them in reality for Wang Yongli and Zou Xiaohe to taste. Everyone thought they were delicious.

But it's definitely not the original taste.

"It seems that I am not familiar with Gan cuisine. How can I learn it systematically?"

Du Shaojie had always been successful in replicating Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Hunan cuisine and even Cantonese cuisine, but he failed when it came to replicating Jiangxi cuisine.

The reason is very simple, it is because he knew too little about Gan cuisine before. Although he could make good dishes with his superb cooking skills, he lacked the soul of Gan cuisine.

【Ding! 】

[Task: You can use all means to learn the basic cooking methods of Gan cuisine. The task deadline is 30 days, and you must make at least one dish that is comprehensively evaluated as "Phoenix Marrow and Dragon Liver". ]

[Reward: 10 redemption points, random gift pack (×2)]

[Punishment: None]

Note 1: All means include but are not limited to studying in training schools, becoming an apprentice, stealing skills, and all illegal and criminal means are prohibited.

The mission announcement came unexpectedly and almost made Du Shaojie laugh.

He would definitely not consider becoming someone's apprentice, because there is no need. He is already a cooking technician, and there are not many people who can be his master.

The key is that there are too many ties after becoming a disciple, and he is afraid of trouble.

You can consider going to a chef training school, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to learn real skills there, and if the foundation is not laid well, I will go astray in the future.

Stealing skills can also be considered.

At his current level, he could learn a lot by just looking at it, but the problem was that he was a bit cheap. He couldn't learn much in a small restaurant, and he might not be able to get into a big restaurant.

It would be very embarrassing if it got caught.

"Oh, by the way, my identity is different now. The mission regulations state that I cannot commit crimes, but it does not say that I cannot use other means."

Du Shaojie was almost led astray by the system. The task only listed a few ways of learning, but did not limit other ways.

"Yongli, Xiaohe, let's go out for a while."

After Du Shaojie reacted, he immediately took a bus to the Hongzhou Cooking Association.

He is the vice president of the Yangcheng Association and can go to pay his respects openly. Why bother with all those unnecessary things?

When he arrived, he was received by the executive vice president, Pan Wen.

"President Du, welcome to Hongzhou. Since you have been feeling unwell recently, I will accompany you around the local area. I hope you will give me your advice."

"President Pan, you are too polite! I am here mainly for the purpose of learning and communication. I would like to ask you to help arrange a few exchange activities between Cantonese and Jiangxi cuisine. Is that convenient?"

Du Shaojie's reasons sounded reasonable, and under the banner of communication and learning, it could save a lot of trouble.

Pan Wen was very interested when he heard it. Cantonese cuisine has become popular all over the country in recent years, and he would definitely not refuse such a rare opportunity for exchange.

Besides, Du Shaojie’s chef level is “cooking technician”, so he will be respected wherever he goes.

"No problem, I will make arrangements later. President Du, don't leave right away. I will take you to a few famous restaurants first, and then we can have a meal together."

Pan Wen was a worldly-wise man, and he immediately took Du Shaojie to several famous restaurants in Hongzhou.

These restaurants mainly serve Gan cuisine, each with its own characteristics. Du Shaojie easily entered their kitchens and actually learned something.

noon.

Pan Wen treated Du Shaojie and others to a meal of authentic Gan cuisine.

Du Shaojie sent the other party several boxes of the best [dried scallops], [dried abalone], and [dried sea cucumber], and cordially invited the other party to visit Guangzhou when convenient.

Pan Wen was very happy and felt that Du Shaojie was a polite person.

The next day.

Pan Wen took Du Shaojie to Hongzhou Hotel and started the formal exchange activities. (End of this chapter)
