"Global Cuisine No. 30 The winners of the five official competitions have appeared! Ah! This year may be due to the blessing of the opening guest Shao Yan. Our chef from country C has performed exceptionally well! Mr. Zhou Runjie, a chef of Chaozhou cuisine The fresh and fragrant marinated goose stands out..."

The official competition of the food competition has been going on for a while, and chefs from various countries are fighting fiercely.There are many more chefs from country C who have successfully advanced this year compared to previous years, and the arena is gradually showing a trend of blooming. For this, many people speculate that it is Shao Yan's credit.

Shao Yan didn't care much about this, he had nothing to do with the official competition, and he never bothered to pay attention to ordinary chefs.His next appearance will be almost at the end of this competition, and the only opponents left are the winners who persisted until the end in the official competition, as well as Gumei star chefs who have special rights like him.

There was a live broadcast of the food competition on the road. Before Shao Yan turned into the building, he stopped and listened for a while. He was not surprised when he learned that the chef of Chaozhou cuisine won the prize.

After staying for a long time, he gradually figured out a lot of rules, and also found that most foreign guests don't seem to appreciate some dishes that are very popular among the guest groups of country C.The tastes of sweet, sour, bitter and spicy are mostly sour and sweet that are easy to accept.Chaozhou cuisine has a variety of varieties, mellow taste and exquisite craftsmanship. Its beautiful shape and easy-to-accept refreshing taste naturally have certain advantages in the international market.

The building is very tall, and the display screen of the opposite building broadcasts the battle situation of the food competition in real time.The winning Teochew chef is a handsome and talented chef, waving and smiling at the camera while holding his customs clearance certificate.Three out of ten sentences of the commentator at the scene were about Shao Yan who was not at the scene. This obviously made today's winner a little embarrassed, and even the corners of his mouth stiffened little by little.

Shao Yan felt a little strange because of the blankness of the explanation, and only looked away when he heard Shao's father calling his name at the card swiping place, and ran towards his father in deep thought.

This is a possible storefront in City B that Father Shao selected after thousands of choices. It is located near the top floor of a new shopping building.Shao's father loves to choose the restaurant on the top floor. Up to now, Yumenxi's main store and branches have almost no exceptions. Therefore, Yumenxi now has a new alias among the diners, called "Cloud Restaurant".

The name is very high-end, but the cost is not low. In order to maintain this nickname, each branch of Yumenshi needs to budget at least nearly 20.00% more rent.The housing price of this shopping building located in the center of a crowded commercial street in City B is naturally not affordable. Fortunately, Yumenxi's existing head office and branch stores are already making a lot of money because of Shao Yan's growing fame. Otherwise, the rent alone should be enough to cause Father Shao a headache.

After commenting on Shanggumei Restaurant from Yumen Seat, the number of tourists from all over the world to taste the food suddenly increased. For the first time, Father Shao intuitively felt how huge the market of domestic and international diners is. The turbulent passenger flow is by no means Yumenxi can be digested by a few small restaurants now.Shao's father's original estimate of the popularity of Yumenxi was still not accurate enough. The new branch in S City ushered in a wave of reservations on the eve of its opening. Most of them were old domestic customers who had already done business. The new customer couldn't even squeeze in, and the event was featured on a local news program in S City, triggering a series of well-intentioned jokes in the society.

It is said that the gap between the rich and the poor is huge these days, where should one go to find rich people?Yumen seat!Regardless of which store, just stop at the door and find a net bag, which is more rewarding than fishing!

As soon as the new store opened, there was a shortage of manpower, which made Shao's father really don't know whether to be happy or worried.Fortunately, he was not in City S during this period, and Tian Xiaotian, who was trained under high-pressure work, could also help him solve some emergencies in the operation of the old store in City S. Although he made mistakes, he learned his lesson after several visits The means became more tactful, and he relieved Father Shao of a lot of pressure.

The father and son stepped out of the elevator. The evacuated shop on the top floor had only been roughly sorted and painted. It looked very messy, but the area was very large.

"Yes, the sitting orientation is good, facing east." Shao Yan looked around and saw a few young people standing beside the gray stained glass wall talking in the distance, his brows were slightly frowned, "But why are they there. "

"I said I knew the owner of this mall, so we came in to look at the store together when we met at the door." When Gao Yuan and his group saw Father Shao, they smiled and waved in this direction, and Father Shao also waved back with a smile.Seeing the other party's appearance of seeing his relatives, Shao Yan was also quite helpless. Since the last time Mr. Wang held a birthday banquet in Yandaichuan courtyard, this group of people has become more and more familiar.It is naturally impossible for Gao Lao and Wang Lao to call Shao Yan. Shao's father is reserved. Although he is about to make a move, he has never dared to take action. There is a problem with the number left.

Mrs. Gao invited Shao Yan to play at Gao's house, and Mrs. Gao also said that she heard the girl from the Wang family say that Shao Yan's bird's nest was stewed, so she wanted to ask for advice. Call grandpa, then did not go.Afterwards, Gao Yuan took the initiative to come.

As soon as he came, he couldn't hold back his feet, and he appeared more and more as a matter of course.

Among the group of people, there was a man in a suit who was probably the operator of the mall. When Shao Yan passed by, he happened to hear Gao Yuan talking to him: "Anyway, we are all friends, so take care of yourself. The imperial gate seats are ready for your shopping mall. The customer flow is also very helpful." Yumenxi's old store in S City, the daily customers have already increased the traffic of the shopping mall, and everyone is affluent. They wait for a table or go to the shopping mall to scan the goods after eating. It's a common pastime.As a result, the turnover of the shopping mall has also increased slightly, and the management of the shopping mall has turned a blind eye to the many influences caused by the operation of Yumenxi.

"For sure, for sure. Mr. Gao's friend is our friend. If you have any request in the future, just ask. As long as you can do it, I will definitely have nothing to say." He also couldn't figure out what the relationship between the Shao family and Gao Yuan was, and he even liked Shao's father who joined the discussion later.

Gao Yuan was very polite to Shao's father, one uncle at a time, and he couldn't see the airs he wanted to put on when they met for the first time.Because he often visited and gave some gifts recently, Shao's father saw that he was not difficult to get along with, and the way of communication gradually became natural. After returning, he always told Shao Yan to let him learn from Gao Yuan.

It made Shao Yan want to roll his eyes every time he saw him now. Gao Yuan didn't take the initiative to approach Shao Yan after a few cold asses with his hot face. He thought it was the impression he left on the other party when they met for the first time. No, these days I always regret that I was too arrogant when I didn't know the situation.I don't know what Yan Xi said to Shao Yan when he went back, but Gao Yuan was wronged.

He didn't really want to see Shao Yan's face, but the Gao family's grandma's appetite was raised after eating Shao Yan's craftsmanship last time, and she couldn't eat well at home these days.Gao Yuan touched the courtyard a few times before, so he bought some pastries that the Shao family ate daily, and after returning home, he was very popular with the old lady. Way to brush favorability.

It was also because of his efforts that the shop was implemented so quickly, because his father Shao had at least four million yuan left. For the sake of the money, Shao Yan didn't drive him under the car on the way back.

In recent days, the situation in City B is treacherous, with various undercurrents under the water, and Yan Daichuan travels around the country and abroad, bringing back news that another meeting will be held.

City B always holds meetings all year round, and domestic and foreign economic, political, and food competitions seem a bit unappealing in front of all kinds of big fish.The memories of this year are also unusual among all kinds of big fish. The leaders of various countries have tried and competed to carve up the international economic market. Country C's status in the world has improved in recent years. Two years ago, when it was confirmed as the host country of this session, the whole country was in a state of jubilation. It was only when Shao Yan realized that when he flew to City B some time ago, he looked very different. The much stricter security checks in ordinary cities are just to create momentum for this.

Along the way, you can often see mounted police whizzing by. The streets and alleys are agitated with a kind of calm before the storm. The streets are much more empty due to the limited number of vehicles.

Father Shao answered a call in the car. It was from the new store of Yumenxi in S City, saying that he was urgently entertaining a group of media who had just arrived. It was the interview team of CCTV, and asked Father Shao how to deal with it. Don't dare to make up your mind.

Shao's father was taken aback, and hurriedly told them to pay attention to this, and even became a little uneasy after hanging up the phone.

He has a keen sense of touch, and he naturally thinks a lot when he gets the news. CCTV has always been the political and economic mouthpiece of country C, and he will not easily pay attention to voices outside the mainstream. How could a small restaurant like Yumenxi attract their attention? What does this represent?

Gao Yuan dumped a group of friends and came back alone with the Shao family and his son. He was also quite surprised when he heard the news.The old man in the family would not casually analyze the internal wind direction to him. Gao Yuan has never raised the imperial gate seat to a very high height. This move by CCTV is obviously ordered by the government. Is it possible that the imperial gate seat will be Have you set a model?

It's not hard to understand if you think about it carefully. Country C has focused on developing its economy and diplomacy in recent years, but unfortunately it has received too little international recognition.Apart from various ancient cultures, there are only a few people who can gain unanimous welcome at home and abroad purely because of the characteristics of C country like Yumenxi.Being selected as a Gumei star was just the beginning, and later became the opening guest of the international food competition, so that the historical elements of country C became the theme of the opening ceremony of this food competition for the first time.And because of the large increase in foreign customers, Yumenxi's popularity in several overseas continents has also been greatly improved.For all these reasons, although country C is not likely to recommend a restaurant as a brand that can represent the country like those small countries in country F, it is really not too much to give some care and support.

Father Shao suppressed this idea as soon as he was born. He felt that the possibility was very high, but at the same time he felt that he took himself too seriously.

Gao Yuan is not the case. He knows that his analysis is not impossible, but instead spreads his thinking and thinks more and more.Recently, the leader meeting that has been vaguely surfaced has also been taken into consideration by him.He once heard from friends related to conference planning that the leaders of country C deliberately presented both traditional history and emerging elements of country C, and they did not hesitate to invest large sums of money for this purpose.Wang Xiaoshu's little Huniu and the organizers of the meeting have recently conducted a low-key inspection of several silk embroidery origins. They have also said in private that the high-level officials attach great importance to the presentation of the traditional characteristics of country C. Tailoring and design are in place, but there is still There are daily meetings and discussions about which kind of silk and satin to choose as the main clothing material.The conference was held for more than a week, and the leaders of various countries ate and lived in country C. A state banquet is always indispensable, right?

This can't be spread to the outside world, Gao Yuan thought hard but couldn't tell anyone in the car, staring at Shao's father who was still troubled by CCTV's sudden visit and Shao Yan who didn't take this matter to heart On the way back, he ran as fast as flying in the alley in order to take a taxi.

Gao's house is always full of old people during this period of time. Grandma Gao's handkerchiefs and Grandpa Gao's old playmates will gather in the living room of Gao's house every afternoon...waiting for Gao Yuan to come back.

The nanny opened the door happily and said that when Gao Yuan came back, the wrinkles on the smiling faces of the elderly people stood up one by one and looked forward to the outside. The moment Gao Yuan entered the room, he stared at the thermos in his hand .

"Oh! Xiaoyuan is back!"

"Oh, Xiaoyuan is a little late coming home today."

"Look at the kid running sweaty, are you tired from the journey?"

"Come on, put the pot down, grandpa/grandma will help you."

"..." Gao Yuan took the thermos from his hand as usual, and was surprised a few times at the beginning, but then he gradually saw through the style of these old children.The thermos was very big, and Grandma Gao let out a wow when she opened the jar, then sniffed the smell and said, "Today is the red bean cake?"

The old men and women who came to have afternoon tea consciously took out their own drinks. Gao Yuan smelled the sweet aroma of red bean cake, and replied: "Shao Yan said that the old man wants to eat lighter. Yesterday's fried bell and The spring rolls are too greasy, today there is only red bean cake. There is another layer underneath, which is the stewed milk he made in the morning. I don’t know if you like it or not, so I bought it together.”

"Shao Yan is a careful kid." Grandma Gao took a piece of red bean cake for her husband, and took one for herself. The rest were divided equally, and the rest was hers by default.Red bean cake looks like hair cake, but it doesn't taste as soft as hair cake. There is no alcohol smell in it, and it is full of thick and pure red bean aroma, soft and thick.

The pastry is piping hot and has no juices inside. It tastes like an all-chocolate brownie, but it melts in your mouth without being choking.It was clearly a very mild fragrance, but it filled the large room in an instant. The old people took a sip of wine and cakes, cherished them very much, were satisfied, and narrowed their eyes.

Gao Yuan, who couldn't get anything to eat after so much trouble, panicked in his heart. Shao Yan's pastries are very expensive, and he charged him [-] for such a pastry made purely from red beans and noodles. The pot of stewed milk at the bottom said yes The whole piece of pastry is worth [-] yuan, which is like killing a pig, but Shao Yan has the face of whether you like to buy it or not, and get out of here, even if you force him not to pay.

A few days ago, it was even more outrageous. Bells and spring rolls are counted by root, and three sticks cost 100 yuan, which is a little bit.I don’t know what’s in it, probably the tofu skin and spring roll skin are also specially made. One mouthful is full of freshness and flavor, and the old lady who has no appetite can eat more than ten sticks in one meal. I blame him for being too stingy to buy it. few.Gao Yuan was stunned, and he couldn't take them seriously, so he simply paid for it once, and saved himself the trouble of being thankless and complaining after buying it.

The red bean cake is really delicious, and the soft sand grains of peeled red beans can be chewed inside.The natural fresh fragrance is highly praised, and the stewed milk is naturally looted.

The stewed milk is made by Shao Yan with egg white and milk. The milk is not a single variety, but a mixture of buffalo milk and cow milk in an appropriate proportion.The buffalo milk has a sweet aroma, and the milk milk has a strong taste. The combination of the two phases, each with its own strengths, naturally has a great improvement.This is Shao Yan's own way of thinking, which is somewhat similar to Shuangpi Nai to some extent.The milk is stewed in a special way to a slightly viscous level, then added to the marinade and syrup he prepared in advance, and finally shaped with egg whites. When drinking, it will be much thicker than double-skin milk.

The syrup improves the fishy smell of the milk. The taste of the stewed milk is between that of cheese and panna cotta. One mouthful is full of aroma, and the people who were conquered by the red bean cake just now couldn't stop their mouths.

"Ah!" Mr. Wang huddled on the sofa of Gao's house, a dry and thin old man whose face had been rosy recently, rubbed his belly and said, "Now I look forward to this afternoon meal every day."

Gao Yuan was dissatisfied and said, "Can I let Wang Xiaoshu go next time? Shao Yan is very annoying to me. Every time I am in front of him, I am worried that he will slap me."

"You must have done something bad to make him unhappy." Mr. Wang concluded indiscriminately, and before Gao Yuan could refute, even his grandfather nodded in agreement.

Why don't you know that this group of people cannibalize people?Gao Yuan was almost overwhelmed by anger, stepped forward and pulled his grandfather and ran towards the study.

Old Gao was still holding the unfinished wine glass, protecting the glass with horror and yelling at him: "You little bastard, pay attention! My wine! The wine is spilled!!"

"China Central Television went to the Yumen seat in S City for an interview. Grandpa, do you know about this?" Gao Yuan cut to the point as soon as the door was closed, and when he turned his head to see his grandpa sticking out his tongue to lick the wine poured out of his hand, he felt that it hurt his eyes , turned away helplessly.

Old Man Gao said disapprovingly, "So what?"

"Are you going to do something?" Gao Yuan listened to his words and hurriedly asked.

Elder Gao looked at him with a half-smile: "What do you want to ask me?"

Gao Yuan looked at him like a little fox: "This financial summit... the standard of the state banquet must not be set at the second level, right? Haven't the previous themes of CCTV already been set? Why did you suddenly go to interview Yumenxi again? , here...is there a way?"

Mr. Gao drank the wine unhurriedly, just laughed and didn't speak.

He has been relegated to the second line for so long, what else can he manage?Naturally, there is a special department responsible for the affairs of the summit, but he didn't do anything.It's just that when the younger generations came to visit, they took out a cup of passion fruit wine to entertain them.

-

The speed from the interview to the broadcast of CCTV this time was so fast that it was unscientific, as if a pair of invisible big hands were pushing behind it. typeface.

Father Shao's heart ached when the picture of Yingmen, a customer at Yumen Seat in S City, appeared on the TV screen. He was relieved when he saw that the focus of the broadcast was "the development direction of new traditional enterprises".Although the broadcast of Yumen seats in the program manuscript seems neutral, the subtext is full of praise.The general idea is to praise Yumenxi for finding the direction of development steadily but quickly in a very short period of time. This phenomenon is worth learning from entrepreneurs from all walks of life in China.The interview was shot with great care. Two stores in S city were interviewed. At the end of the report, the reporter emphasized the excellent taste of Yumenxi. The core of the topic focused on the impact of professional strength on the development of the company.

This is undoubtedly using the official energy to elevate the style of Yumenxi to the top of the domestic catering industry. After reading the report, Father Shao felt very at a loss about the pie falling from the sky. He only felt that the affirmation came so suddenly that Let him be in a panic and be at a loss.

Yumenxi seems to be full of glory now, but after careful calculation, it is just a restaurant that has been counted by a branch.Even the company has just registered, except for Gu Mei's title and performance in the food competition, it is really not outstanding enough to deserve the attention of the official.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion from all walks of life, saying everything.Many people who watched Yumenxi grow up all the way insisted that this was a sign that the Shao family was going to prosper again.But the current development of Yumenxi is already quite unbelievable in the food industry. What kind of opportunity will it have to develop again?

Shao's father was about to ask someone to inquire about the inside information, when the truth quickly reached behind him and patted him on the shoulder.

When he was approached by the responsible department of the Financial Summit, Shao's father even thought it was a group of liars.

After confirming the work permit and various documents, he became terrified, it was too unreal!

That's an international conference!internationality! !I'm in charge of the state banquet! ! ! !

The Shao family originated in City A. No matter how rich Shao’s father used to be, he was just a humble citizen. He was cautious when dealing with the leaders of City S. Now...someone actually asked him to be in charge of the state banquet! ! ! !

Although the leader who came to discuss cooperation matters was puzzled by his surprised attitude, before coming, he knew that Yumenxi was a brand that was directly proposed to cooperate with his superiors, and his attitude was very modest: "Although Yumenxi is a new company, its qualifications It doesn’t mean everything. The banquet this time is related to the face of the country. Of course, the strength and taste must be the first priority. The strength of Yumenxi, I think we don’t need to praise it. The public’s evaluation is better than everything. The taste of the gate seats is completely in line with the tradition of country C, and has a very clear representative meaning, and it is really suitable to be in charge of the food for this summit."

Shao Yan was chewing the freshly roasted tea leaves in his mouth slowly, not at all as nervous as Father Shao's sky was about to collapse.What is a state banquet? When he was in the palace, he didn't hesitate to do it. Basically, he left it to his apprentices.It is not easy to be responsible for the diet of such a large group of people, and you must be exhausted to do everything yourself.

He asked, "How is the reward calculated?"

"...remuneration?" Unexpectedly, he would ask this, and the person in charge even took a moment to react, and quickly explained: "This will definitely not make you suffer. The salary will come from the budget of this summit, and we will pay attention to it carefully." Check your time and business income multiplied by three times the compensation for the delay due to the summit during that time."

Shao Yan thought about it for a while, and didn't know how much money his family made a day, so he stabbed his father.

Father Shao was almost knocked out by the pie that fell from the sky, his eyes were full of mosquito coils, his mind was buzzing, and his consciousness was floating in the air.

The combination of the very excited father and the unusually calm son made the person in charge somewhat puzzled, especially Shao Yan.It's normal for a restaurant to be overjoyed when it encounters such a good thing, right?That's a state banquet!state banquet!Anyone with common sense should know how much impact hosting a state banquet will have on a company's image and political support in the future!

Shao Yan actually knew it too, but he was not too excited, and he was worried that those apprentices who would definitely come to help after the banquet would definitely affect the management of Yumenxi.

Shao's father slapped his thigh, his eyes gleamed——damn, how could such a good thing not be accepted? ! !

He is also speechless about his son's concerns. He still can't figure out Shao Yan's ability to focus on key points, but now Shao's father doesn't want to teach his son a lesson at all, he is already so embarrassing that he is about to fly to the sky! ! !

State Banquet State Banquet State Banquet! ! !

Important things should be repeated three times!

Shao's mother almost fainted when she heard the news. Even Li Yuke, who has always been rational, was dumbfounded with her husband for a long time. Yan Daichuan was silent for nearly half a minute after receiving Shao's father's call. Heard about this before it was announced in the media!

Shao's father and mother-in-law look more arrogant than anyone else!

"Son, you have to work hard, quickly call Tian Xiaotian and the others to City B, train in advance, train quickly, you must train!" Father Shao squatted outside the study and flipped through the phone book, recalling the relatives who had not been notified. Remind my son two hundred times.

Shao Yan, who was squatting on the stool, made a small notebook and a calculator and calculated for a long time, listening to his father's words in one ear and out the other, completely focusing on another matter——

——"How much is the daily turnover of our several stores added together?"

The author has something to say: Father Shao: "One...ten...hundred...thousand...thousand...hundred thousand...million...ten million..."

Head of the summit budget: [staring at the final figures] [pawn]
