The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 124: Guangzhou Trip (3K)

[Employee A: (picture.jpg) I made a lot of money today. Life is always full of surprises and surprises! ]

[Employee B: Wow wow wow~ This wave, this wave is called eating the dishes that I want to eat most in my life. Who would have thought that the wish that cannot be fulfilled even by praying to the gods and praying to Buddha, God actually sent us a contemporary extraordinary person to fulfill it! ]

[Employee C: (Short video) must be very impressive, spread virally on Weibo/Douyin/WeChat Moments, and make all friends and family jealous! ]

[Employee D: Ahahahaha, my private messages have exploded, and people from all walks of life are asking whether this is true or not...]

It can only be said that this unexpected hospitality tonight is the happiest and most honored moment for the staff of the "Chrysanthemum Goes Down the Hall" program crew.

Why?

Other program teams don’t have a god like Boss Xia.

In the industry, even the exhaust gas cannot be eaten.

They could only drool at the barbecue banquet that Boss Xia prepared for them.

Director Gao Shengqi was also delighted.

He is very childish, or rather, full of bad taste, and he also posted a short video in his circle of friends:
【(Short video)】

【This is not AI synthesis! 】

[Come and catch this man who repeatedly performs lost ancient stunts! (Shocked) (Dog head) (Nosebleed)]

As a result, the number of likes and replies to this post on WeChat Moments exploded.

[Mountain Village Savage (Mountain City Nine-Star Chef Director Xu): Oh, how come you guys are causing trouble again? ]

[I am an ordinary person (Guangzhou Yangquan Restaurant leader Kang Dao): I don’t know what to say, I just give you a thumbs up! ]

In addition to two famous directors in the industry.

A group of well-known people.

Many people left comments under this post, either expressing their admiration with broken knees or posting emojis of old people on subway phones.

……

Wu Zhu, Xiang Shilin and Jing Nina, the three descendants of Tai Chi cuisine, had just returned to the hotel to rest.

Then, everyone met again in the corridor outside the room as if they had seen a ghost.

"Sister, where did you get the pictures and videos?" Xiang Shilin said with a look of extreme shock. "It must be fake. Tell me the contents of the pictures and videos. Isn't that the long-lost Explosive Flame + Tianxiong Flame Wheel?"

Although Wu Zhu didn't say anything, his flickering eyes showed that his emotions were also churning.

Jing Nina's tone was not completely calm yet, with a slight tremor in her voice:
"I have confirmed this with the assistant director of the program team, who helped me join the program through his connections."

"Soon after we left the Juxialou Garden, this late-night barbecue reception was held. Two whole and fresh "Nut Swordfish" fed many people."

silence!

The corridor was silent for a while.

Xiang Shilin suddenly took out his phone and started browsing Douyin and various social platforms:
"This is a big deal, and it happens to coincide with another wave of publicity. The program team will not stop the news from spreading!"

Wu Zhu also turned on Douyin King mode:
"That's right, there will definitely be more live videos on Douyin!"

……

Xia An's view was that the small display of her skills was undoubtedly a "failed" tribute. As a result, Liu Shimeng kept chattering and asking questions on the way back.

Even Lu Jiaxin and the driver, who were waiting outside and brought their team to pick up the car after being notified by Xia An, were extremely surprised when they heard Liu Shimeng's chattering and asked what had happened.

Lu Jiaxin was confused: "What? Boss Xia, you asked me to deliver a storage box, and then I turned around and performed the Explosion Flame + Tianxiong Flame Wheel stunts in the Juxialou Garden?"

Xia An's mouth twitched:
"The storage box I asked you to bring is for the Tianxiong Flame Chain."

At this moment, Lu Jiaxin suddenly understood, and at the same time, she couldn't help but secretly guess in her mind, it was probably because the Liu family had a deep foundation that she had sent Boss Xia two complete secret manuals of unique skills, plus the recipe for Tianxiong Roasted Green Fish?

As a secretary-like role, Lu Jiaxin can grasp most of Xia An's dynamics, but if Xia An intends to conceal something, Lu Jiaxin also knows the limit and will not delve into it.

So, the question is, could it be this combination of Explosive Flame + Tianxiong Flame Wheel?

Did Boss Xia start practicing secretly after he came into contact with the Liu family in Shu?

But now only the second episode has ended. In half a month, if her big wooden brother were to take over, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to master even the slightest bit of the special skills.

But maybe this is the difference between a genius and a mediocre person?
Lu Jiaxin was lost in her own thoughts.

Doodle.

WeChat messages on mobile phones exploded.

She opened it and took a look.

Lu Zuguang: "Sister! Sister!"

Lu Jiaxin: "I'm here, he's not dead yet, stop calling me."

Lu Zuguang: "How many lost skills does Boss Xia have mastered?"

Lu Jiaxin: "(Doghead) All you know!"

Lu Zuguang: "Hiss~Are you kidding me?"

Lu Jiaxin: "If you dare to believe it, I dare to say it. Anyway, I consider myself a mortal and cannot guess the unique skills of gods and men. Brother, you are a genius in the imperial capital. Can you estimate it for me?"

Lu Zuguang: "Sweating profusely.jpg"

The car returned to the hotel.

The square at the main entrance of the hotel still has the style of a small exhibition with food trucks and stalls.

It was late at night, and the place was full of lights and neon signs.

what.

The group was stopped in the hotel lobby by Director Li who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Director Li, why are you here? It's almost one in the morning?" Xia An was just about to press the elevator button.

Although Director Li is middle-aged, he still looks energetic and said enthusiastically:
"Oh, isn't this the dish we had in the Juxialou Gardens earlier? I was enjoying your replica of the Tianxiong Grilled Herring... Oh, no, it's the Tianxiong Grilled Fantasy Fish dish."

"And did you forget to talk to me about business?"

"Here, please allow me to ask for a favor for the diners in the Land of Abundance. You need to stay in Jinguan City for a few more days and set up more stalls. Last week, your performance at the Chunxi Road Night Market sparked the appetite of diners all over the city..."

Xia An coughed and said apologetically:

"I'm sorry, Director Li, I already have a schedule. I've accepted a job to open a stall at the Three Cities Night Market for the Guangdong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and the deposit from others..." "It's a very valuable item that has been delivered to me. I can't delay it with excuses, otherwise it will leave a bad impression of my bad character."

He had said it so frankly, and Director Li smiled apologetically. It was not easy for him to show his social skills and worldly wisdom to win over Xia An.

In other words, Xia An's "momentum" has been established, and now he is a big-name celebrity chef that all cities and regions are actively trying to win over. Otherwise, from an official standpoint, there are many ways to seek cooperation with him.

"However, for the third show, I will come two or three days early and set up a night market stall in Jinguan City before the show starts, right?"

Director Li, who was about to leave in disappointment, couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard Xia An's words:
"Then on behalf of the vast number of diners in the Land of Abundance, I would like to thank Boss Xia for his patronage!"

Liu Shimeng is at the end of the team.

Just as he was about to squeeze into the elevator, he was pulled back by Director Li.

"Xiao Shimeng, come here." Director Li took Liu Shimeng to a seat in the hotel lobby and said earnestly and shamelessly, "You are now considered as a relative and friend of Boss Xia. You must always remember to seek benefits for the diners in Shu."

Liu Shimeng: (_`)
"Ah, do I have such a responsibility?" She looked embarrassed.

"Of course not. Now diners from all over the country are crazy about asking Boss Xia to open a night market stall in their place. You are working for the welfare of diners in this province and city. Everyone will remember your kindness. After all, you are also the spokesperson for our cultural tourism!"

Liu Shimeng was still young, and was beaten down by Director Li's emotional stick, and she fainted on the spot.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Xia An.

Early the next day.

Xia An, accompanied by the team, took a flight to Guangzhou.

With a team in place, air tickets, vehicles, hotels and everything else will be arranged, so Xia An only needs to focus on cooking.

"Notify the Guangdong Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism that I will set up a stall at the Guangzhou City night market tonight, and the dish I will serve is the Fantasy Galaxy Noodles."

Hearing this, Lu Jiaxin nodded:

"I will contact them and ask them to select the night market street and coordinate the work of all parties."

Done.

Lu Jiaxin closed the kitchen door.

"Di-"

The smart lock is automatically locked, and outsiders cannot disturb Xia An unless he unlocks it inside.

"Boss Xia and my brother are the same type of people. When they arrive in a new place, they often retreat to a hotel to practice their cooking skills. So, does traveling around the country make any difference to people like them?"

Lu Jiaxin complained, took two steps, and then started calling the contact persons in the cultural and tourism department of Guangdong Province.

Of course, short video pre-promotional videos are also being arranged in full swing.

Not long after the Xia'an people arrived in Guangzhou.

The official Douyin account operated by the team.

A new video was released:

《Guangzhou diners, please look here, there is an important notice that you must read! 》

One can imagine what kind of heated discussions there are under the video.

"Woo woo, am I getting too excited now that I'm in Yangcheng? Am I hallucinating?"

"+1 for being so strong"

"I'm not seeing things, that's Baiyun Airport, and the city scenery along the way, I even know the hotel where we're staying!"

"Could it be that the urban legend is true? Was there anything real about the late-night revelations by the uncle party last night?"

"Boss Xia is wrong. The people of Lijiang City in my hometown are in tears right now!"

"As a guest at Jinguan City, I burst into tears on the spot. I thought Boss Xia would stay for two more days this time!"

And at the same time.

In terms of Guangdong Province's cultural tourism, after contacting the team headed by Lu Jiaxin, a series of details were quickly finalized, and the official announcement was also released on Douyin:

[Chef Xia An will tour the night markets in Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Zhuhai on the 12th, 13th and 14th of this month. Please check the time and pay attention to the announcement of the specific night market addresses and arrange your trip accordingly.]

Now, with official endorsement, this matter cannot be false.

The diners from the three cities who were named were overjoyed.

Not to mention, in addition to the above three cities, diners from even the entire Guangdong Province are ready to go. It is only around noon now, and diners from neighboring cities are rushing to the capital Guangzhou to join the Guangzhou night market stall activities which will start tonight. There is still enough time.

……

In Shu, there is Juxialou, a famous restaurant in the Chinese culinary world.

And in Guangdong Province.

It is the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine, one of the eight traditional cuisines.

There is naturally a famous restaurant with a strong heritage in suppressing cuisine, the famous Yangquan Restaurant!

Compared with the famous Juxialou in Shuchuan, which is geographically located inland, Yangquan Restaurant in Guangzhou has produced many famous chefs who studied abroad and started their own businesses in foreign countries since modern times. Even now, Yangquan Restaurant has a large number of foreign apprentices.

Take the program "Who is the Leader of Yangquan Restaurant" for example.

It is considered to be the longest-running food program in China's food industry today. From the duel between nine-star chefs to the battle to select top chefs, its wonderful food scenes have left deep memories for two or three generations of people across the country.

At this time, Kang Jiacong, the director of the Yangquan Restaurant Leading People Program, immediately learned that Xia An had come to Guangdong Province and had stayed in a hotel in Guangzhou.

"It's coming so fast!"

Kang Jiacong murmured.

He is even a few years younger than Gao Shengqi, and is a new director who took over the work of his predecessor. Therefore, the overall popularity of the program is now suppressed by the emerging "Chrysanthemum Goes Down the Hall Competition" in his hands. He has been under a lot of pressure recently and has lost a lot of hair.

After his expression changed several times, Kang Jiacong found a phone number in the address book and dialed it.

"Hello, Sister Meng."

"Director Kang, this time after lunch, do you think I won't take a nap?" A lazy yawning sound came from the other side.

Kang Jiacong laughed:

"Sister Meng, how can you fall asleep? I'm afraid the whole city of Yangcheng is now hearing about that person's arrival."

On the opposite side was a woman named Meng Yulu, who was in her early thirties, even slightly younger than Chi Xiaobai, but the two of them had already regarded each other as lifelong rivals.
