The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 57: The influence of the popularity

Tong Kun was already sweating profusely.

All I can say is that the matter was very serious and he realized he couldn't cover it up anymore, so he had no choice but to report it to higher authorities.

"You mean, the recently famous Mr. Xia in the Shenzhou food world is actually a humble three-star chef from our Late Night Cooking Association?"

Chi Xiaobai's eyes were simply murderous.

He had done this many times, on many occasions, almost kneeling down to ask for Boss Xia's contact information so that he could be treated to delicious food.

Then, while visiting Linggui Province, he actually learned from a small bronze group director this morning that Boss Xia was already a member of their association!

Tong Kun wiped his sweat, retrieved Xia An's internal information, and displayed it on the tablet.

The expressions of Chi Xiaobai and Wei Xuelin, these two top-level gods, are very interesting.

"There's no way his cooking skills are just 3 stars!"

"How is this possible? Just watch the short videos of him cooking Kaihua Guoba and Liebingxian Taishan and you will know!"

"Yes, the data and even the information may be false, but the many basic cooking skills that the person demonstrated in the short video cannot be just 3 stars!"

You say one sentence and I analyze it.

Chi Xiaobai and Wei Xuelin looked at each other seriously, and then said to Tong Kun in unison: "Now! Immediately! Immediately!"

"Take us to Boss Xia's residence!"

Tong Kun wiped his sweat and said, "How about we call Boss Xia first?"

at the same time.

The Lijiang Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism is also in chaos.

The boss called to inquire!
After receiving the call from the provincial leader, Director Wei was confused. The instruction from above was simple: no matter what, that "Boss Xia" must be locked up.

Let this extraordinary person stay in Lijiang City and become another tourist card of their tourist city to the whole country and even the world.

Actually.

In this era of the Director of Culture and Tourism.

Director Wei is also a minor internet celebrity, having appeared in and participated in many short videos of the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

Sing rap, fly drones, cosplay in ancient costumes, and even be a tourist and paddle bamboo poles on the Li River...

Therefore, an emergency meeting was held within the Culture and Tourism Bureau.

"Director Wei, we must first visit this Boss Xia and establish contact with him so that we can have a direct conversation with him later."

"As long as he is in Lijiang City, it won't be difficult for us to find him!"

"The question is, how do we find it?"

"I think that we should stick to the down-to-earth check-in method that is popular on Douyin, and let Director Wei continue to be the "Cultural Tourism Recommender", appear in front of Boss Xia's stall, and look for the food in the legendary stories..."

Hear this advice.

Director Wei's eyes lit up and he was excited. He looked at the deputy director born in the 90s who was speaking at the conference table.

The female deputy director smiled and said, "It's not shameful to take advantage of Mr. Xia's popularity. It also lets netizens know that our Lijiang City Culture and Tourism Bureau is very willing to make Mr. Xia and his stall a golden business card for tourism."

Another deputy director nodded:

"The place the director goes to is definitely not a place for cheating."

Once the conversation started, many editors also enthusiastically offered suggestions.

There was even a lot of data sets being passed around the conference table.

Director Wei looked through the series of impacts caused by Boss Xia opening a stall twice, appearing out of nowhere and occupying the Douyin hot search for many days.

Not to mention the recent surge in passenger traffic in Lijiang City.

Another wave of traffic has led to a surge in hotel bookings, air ticket bookings and train ticket bookings.

After reading the "shocking" data, the impact of Boss Xia's popularity was presented so directly to Director Wei.

No wonder the leaders above are so anxious.

This is definitely a trump card for traffic passwords.

It is no exaggeration to say that if people were tied up and killed in Lijiang City, it would drive the tourism industry to grow by tens of billions.

……

Xia An was watching a children's cartoon with his daughter Xiaoxi. The father and daughter were leaning against each other and half-lying on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor. Their postures were lazy, full of a sense of daily life.

I heard footsteps coming down the stairwell behind me.

"Have you chosen a room?"

He turned around and glanced at Erina Nakiri who was coming down the stairs.

"I've chosen it." The golden-haired girl said, "Master, can I use the kitchen now?"

Xia An sighed that he was very hardworking:

"You can use it as you like. I won't be setting up shop today." After saying that, he watched Erina Nakiri join Alice and Miyoko's conversation.

As the saying goes, three women make a drama. These are three beautiful young apprentices. They are whispering to each other and taking out ingredients. I don’t know what dishes they are preparing.

beep beep-

There are always phone calls that disturb the warm moments between father and daughter.

Xia An has rejected several calls in succession.

He frowned.

Look at the caller ID.

"This Tong Kun, why is he so persistent?" Xia An glanced at his daughter who was holding a tablet computer, watching cartoons intently and giggling from time to time, then stood up and walked into the yard.

"Hey--"

Who would have known that the person who answered after the call was connected was not Tong Kun.

An excited voice shouted:

"Fuck!!"

"Boss Xia, you are finally willing to answer the phone!"

Xia An: ? ?

He held the phone farther away until the voice on the other end returned to normal, then he took it back and sighed, "Who are you? Where's Tong Kun?"

"Ahem, let's not beat around the bush. I'm Chi Xiaobai, the general director of the Late Night Cooking Association in Lingyue Province."

Pause.

Chi Xiaobai was still very self-entertaining, and laughed at himself:

"Do you remember?"

"It was the so-called top god who almost knelt down and begged you to hold a food reception in the Lu family girl's live broadcast room last night..."

Xia An said: "Hello, Mr. Chi, I don't mean to embarrass you, but I really don't plan to entertain anyone privately in the near future."

Chi Xiaobai said with a meaningful sound:
"Anyone? Including the officials?"

Xia An did not hesitate and said decisively: "Including!"

Chi Xiaobai laughed again: "Hahaha, then I feel relieved!"

"Don't worry, the authorities treat you like a treasure and are afraid that you will run away."

Done.

The tone suddenly changed:
"I was thinking, Boss Xia, your cooking skills are only rated 3 stars in our Late Night Cooking Association. If this were to be exposed, I think the whole country would be in an uproar, and it would have a major impact on the reputation and credibility of our association!"

"So, when are you going to take the exam to raise your cooking skills to at least nine stars?"

Xia An was surprised: "The way to get promoted in the Late Night Cooking Association is not through late night food battles?"

Another cool female voice suddenly picked up the phone and said:
"We can arrange a nine-star chef as your opponent."

"you are?"

"General Director of Linggui Province, Wei Xuelin."

Xia An sighed in his heart, another top-notch master.

"But I have no intention of participating in the late-night food battle recently, mainly because I don't have the time." Xia An said bluntly, "I'll take a day off today, and I'll be setting up a stall again tomorrow night."

"Set up a stall?"

The two special-level players on the opposite side suddenly became excited again and asked in unison:

"Can you tell me which night market you will be setting up your stall at this time? And what kind of legendary dishes will you be serving?"

Xia An: "We haven't decided which night market to go to."

As he spoke, he glanced at the business goals that had appeared on the panel.

The goal of brushing on time at 8 o'clock is to set up a stall to make and sell "Kaihua Guoba".

However, the target will be refreshed at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.

Xia An is very sure that the dish content will be updated to "Flame Dumplings"!
"This time I plan to make 'Flame Dumplings'."

He did not hide the need for the two special-grade people and announced them truthfully.

"what?!"

In the Qixingge Hotel.

Chi Xiaobai and Wei Xuelin looked at each other in astonishment.

Originally, I was planning to ask about the location of the stall, but unexpectedly I got important information about new dishes.

Tong Kun looked at the female special agent Wei Xuelin who was holding a mobile phone. She held her smartphone tightly with a bitter face. She opened her mouth and wanted to say, "Sister, this is a new phone I bought only a month ago."
