my boyfriend is a chef

It turned out that Xi Yuan didn't take a nap in the afternoon, but was busy editing the video taken at noon, added some explanatory text, added a simple soundtrack, and then posted it on Weibo.The video is not long, only a few minutes, and the production is relatively rough, and the shooting method is not professional, and there is not much artistry to speak of, but the dishes are well-made, and the cooks are even better, which is still very interesting.

Xi Yuan majored in computer-related majors, and editing videos is also her hobby. She usually likes to edit and play videos on Station B. She doesn’t do much business on Weibo, and occasionally posts some edited videos, so she also has a thousand or two thousand fans.As soon as today's food video was posted, those fans reposted it one after another, especially the fans who rose after posting on Weibo yesterday were even more active, and they reposted it everywhere.Then, a blogger who usually became popular by reposting Weibo also reposted this video, so reposts, comments, likes, and followers followed one after another. Xi Yuan's phone kept vibrating, all of which were Weibo. News, in less than an hour, the video had nearly [-] hits, she also gained hundreds of fans, and the number of retweets reached thousands.

Seeing Xi Yuan's excitement, Sun Youchen hurried over: "Has the video been posted? Let me take a look."

Xi Yuan handed the phone to Sun Youchen, and Sun Youchen took a look. The cover of the video used the image of Xi Chuan Shengcai. He didn't look at the camera, but focused on doing things with his eyes lowered, but his handsome face, tall nose bridge, good-looking Lips are all attention-grabbing.Click in and take a look, it’s a 3-minute video, which basically captures the entire cooking process, Xi Chuan showed his face twice in it, one is the side face while cooking, and the other is the front face on the cover of the video , The time to show his face was not long, but his handsome appearance was fully revealed.Moreover, the chicken slices are as white as jade, like blooming hibiscus, dotted with some green onions, and they look very good, making people's index fingers move.In the few minutes he watched the video, there were more than a dozen fans and several comments on his account.

Xi Chuan also poked his head over to take a look, and frowned after reading it: "Didn't you say that you don't show your face, why did you put it up again?"

Xi Yuan squinted at her brother: "This is called a marketing strategy, do you understand? You see, the fruit sellers outside put the biggest and most beautiful ones on the outer layer, and the clothes sellers also put the best-looking styles on the models. In order to attract the attention of customers, you are not very popular at the beginning, so you have to rely on your appearance to attract the attention of others. When you have more fans in the future, and you are worth a hundred times, you don’t need to show your face. Waiting for fans to beg you to show your face, hey-hey."

Xi Chuan glanced at Weibo again: "With more than 3000 fans, you have become an Internet celebrity?"

Xi Yuan said: "It took me less than an hour to post the video, and I gained more than 700 followers. What else do you want? There will be more tomorrow."

Sun Youchen clicked on the comments and found that almost all of them were licking their faces and praising the cooking boy's beauty, and a small part were discussing the recipe of hibiscus chicken slices. Obviously, people are more interested in Xi Chuan's appearance than in his cooking Because it was thick, it was exactly what he thought before, he couldn't help but smiled helplessly.

Xi Yuan said her plan: "I will not announce the location of the Chuan Chuan store for the time being, and I will post a few videos first to accumulate some popularity. This is called playing hard to get."

Xi Chuan frowned: "Do you still have to shoot every day? It's so troublesome." It took more than an hour to shoot this video today, and he didn't know that Xi Yuan didn't even take a nap to edit the video, otherwise he would have rejected it. I won't be making any more videos.

"Of course not every day, you can post a second shot every day, a short video of a few seconds or tens of seconds, just to whet everyone's appetite. Let's go, today I will take a shot of the string in the store, and post it directly. It's alright, I don't need to trouble you." Xi Yuan was in high spirits, as if to take this matter as a career.

Xi Yuan knew that her brother didn't agree with her approach, so she came to pull Sun Youchen to unite with her: "Youchen, let me teach you how to make videos. After I leave, you will take pictures. This Weibo account will also be handed over to you. You take care of it. We strive to make it a famous food blogger with millions of fans. Whether you open a string shop or a restaurant, there will only be benefits and no disadvantages. Now it is In the information age, people are all taking advantage of the convenience of high technology, don’t be as stubborn as my brother, you can’t turn around.”

Xi Chuan took a deep breath: "Damn girl, who do you think is stupid?"

Xi Yuan turned her face around, stuck out her tongue at Xi Chuan and made a grimace: "Brother, it's true that cooking must be done in a down-to-earth manner, but business must be done flexibly."

Sun Youchen had some sympathy for Xi Chuan looking at Xi Chuan and smiling, but he still agreed with Xi Yuan's views, she is a very thoughtful girl.

Xi Chuan tried his best to keep a straight face, with his hands on his hips: "Okay, are you going to leave? Are you going to open the shop at night?"

When they arrived at the store, Xi Chuan and Sun Youchen were preparing to open the store at night. In addition to cooking porridge, Xi Chuan added ice powder today. The ice powder is served with skewers, which is the best match for relieving the summer heat.Xi Yuan still took her Miaopai video and posted her brother's process of making ice powder on Weibo.

Xi Chuan ignored his younger sister and let her make trouble. Knowing that Sun Youchen wanted to learn how to cook, he consciously began to teach Sun Youchen how to cook.Cooking is a big science, not simply chopping and frying to learn cooking skills, in order to cook well, you must understand the characteristics of various ingredients, the texture, taste, taste, nutrition, etc. of each ingredient are all important Different foods have different cooking methods; the same food is cooked in different ways, and the taste, taste and visual effects are different; the ingredients and seasonings are different, and the taste is different. no the same.

Xi Chuan said to Sun Youchen: "The types of Sichuan cuisine are quite complicated. It combines the tastes of the east, west, north, and south. There are more than 7000 dishes and 25 flavor types. So far, I still have many dishes that I have not cooked. So If you really want to learn well, you can’t do it without putting in effort.”

Sun Youchen said in surprise: "There are so many dishes! But I found that every restaurant seems to have a fixed menu, at most there are dozens of dishes."

Xi Chuan nodded: "Yes, generally speaking, each restaurant has a fixed menu, including the staple food, the larger restaurants will not exceed two hundred dishes, and some restaurants will change the menu according to the season, or in order to maintain Freshness adds to the menu, no matter what, it usually doesn't exceed three hundred dishes."

Sun Youchen said: "Isn't it true that you can't use it after learning it?"

"That's right. Because the dishes we often eat are those, and the changes are those tricks. But as a chef, learn as much as you can. The difference between a good chef and an ordinary chef is that no matter what you bring He can cook any ingredients, or use common ingredients to create dishes that have never been done before, which requires usual accumulation and training."

"It feels so powerful. This is the so-called boldness of a skilled person." Hearing this, Sun Youchen couldn't help showing a look of yearning. Generally, chefs cook according to the recipes, fearing that the taste will not be authentic, but a good chef It should boldly break through the old pattern and create its own special taste on the basis of the original recipes.

Xi Chuan was very satisfied with his reaction, and said: "Yes, then study hard. Come on, let me tell you about this hairy belly. You can see that the color of this hairy belly is blue-black. This is a real fresh natural hairy belly. You see yellow hairy belly in other places, which is soaked in alkaline water, and white hairy belly, which is soaked in hydrogen peroxide..."

Sun Youchen listened carefully, and felt that learning to cook is really a university subject. There are too many things to learn, but it is related to eating. Of course, it is worth studying hard. , Xi Chuan looked at him and said, "I took some notes when I was learning how to cook, and I will show them to you when I go back."

"Okay, thank you Brother Chuan." Sun Youchen put away his pen, and took notes while listening to Xi Chuan, the efficiency is very slow, "By the way, Brother Chuan, I sorted out the books I brought from home a while ago , I saw a notebook left by my grandfather, and it seems that there are some recipes written on it, I don’t understand it, so I’ll show it to you later.”

When Xi Chuan heard this, he stopped immediately: "Really? Show it to me later." He remembered when Wang Guangxu asked himself about the master's recipe when he came out of the Graceland, could it be this?

"Okay, I'll show you when I go back tonight." Sun Youchen said.

Xi Yuan came in from the outside: "Have you two finished chatting? There are guests, hurry up and say hello, there are three tables. Youchen will serve tea to the guests first."

"Here we come." Sun Youchen hurriedly packed his things and went to pour tea.

The day Sun Youchen imagined would come quickly without having to solicit customers. Now that the store has only been open for less than ten days, he doesn't have to salivate to solicit customers anymore. The popularity has already begun to emerge, and customers always arrive early.On non-weekend days, the seats are basically full at night. What Sun Youchen needs to worry about is whether his hands and feet are fast enough, whether he can come over in a hurry, and whether the service is thoughtful.The daily turnover in the store is at least [-] yuan, and at first calculation, it can still make a profit in a month.Sun Youchen also did it with confidence.

Sure enough, as Xi Yuan expected, when these videos were posted, the number of Weibo fans increased rapidly. Originally, there were only more than 2000 fans, but by the next day, it had already exceeded [-], and it was indeed becoming an Internet celebrity.Xi Yuan really wanted to make a second video while the iron was hot, but Xi Chuan didn't cooperate very much. When cooking, he didn't take out the ingredients of a dish separately as Xi Yuan asked, but just followed his usual cooking habits. No, so Xi Yuan could only take pictures of the finished dishes, and by the way, she also posted a photo of her brother. Although it was just a side profile, he was also suffocatingly handsome.The fans were even more itchy, chasing and asking when the next video will be released.

Xi Yuan went to persuade Sun Youchen: "Go and persuade my brother to post a video at least every three days. When food bloggers first started blogging, they posted a video every day. Strike while the iron is hot, so that the number of fans will increase quickly. .”

Sun Youchen smiled helplessly: "I don't know how to persuade him, if he doesn't want to, forget it." He is actually not willing to force Xi Chuan to do something he doesn't want to do.

Xi Yuan flicked the knife at him: "Who do you think I am for? I will do the calculation for you. According to the current business situation, even if the average income is [-] yuan per night, after deducting the cost, you can earn [-] yuan a month." The gross profit, the rent, utilities, management fees, etc. need at least [-]. Even if I don’t pay, you two only earn [-], and the average is [-] each. You are exhausted, what are you trying to do? ? Isn’t the shop open to make money, but also to have more people come to eat? What’s wrong with this publicity method? I didn’t let you sell yourselves.”

Sun Youchen was poked in the lung tube by Xi Yuan, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word, he thought for a while, and said with some embarrassment: "But Brother Chuan, he doesn't want to, if only I can cook."

Xi Yuan pinched her chin and looked at Sun Youchen up and down, looking at Sun Youchen uncomfortably: "What's wrong? Am I not as handsome as Brother Chuan?"

Xi Yuan smiled and shook her head: "No, you have a completely different style from my brother, and you should be very marketable. How about this? On days when my brother doesn't want to make videos, you are the one to take the lead. Then Make an edit, use my brother's cooking, use your face. I will figure out the ingredients and so on. I will edit the video, although it is a bit troublesome, but it can be done, just do it like this, very good!" He raised his hand to give Sun Youchen a high five.

Sun Youchen looked at Xi Yuan's outstretched palm, hesitated for a moment, and raised his hands to strike her.He thought about the plan proposed by Xi Yuan. In fact, the specific operation should be very cumbersome, but Xi Yuan is only thinking about the development of the store, so she doesn't think it's troublesome. What right does she have to be troublesome?

Xi Chuan found that Xi Yuan and Sun Youchen seemed to hit each other very well, and they chattered non-stop when they got together. He thought to himself, after all, they are the same age, so they get along better.Suddenly seeing Xi Yuan stretching out her palm to give Sun Youchen a high five, she couldn't help but feel a little bit in her heart. Could it be that Xi Yuan fell in love with Sun Youchen?
