The beginning is only when you become a chef

Chapter 65 Serving the General Public
In a luxury car heading towards the Starlight Night Market.

Nakiri Managi and Saiba Joichiro each took out their mobile phones and opened the Douyin live broadcast room.

"coordination?"

"Perfect?"

After listening to Xia An’s explanation of [Luminescence].

The two pondered for a long time, and then looked at each other in surprise.

"Saiha-san, can you understand?" asked Nakiri Managi with interest.

Cai Bo Cheng Yilang, who has been deeply involved in the field of super-grade products for many years, looked serious and shook his head: "It is understandable, but this is just Mr. Xia's own interpretation of luminescence. It may not be universal for us."

"Let me explain it this way. The true meaning and mystery of luminescence also have different faces for different people."

"A chef must first be able to recognize himself and know where his shortcomings are."

“Then, we must work hard to make up for these shortcomings, and then we can be said to be pursuing coordination and perfection!”

Done.

Saiba Joichiro's tone became heavy instead:

"But it seems to me."

“It has achieved the harmony between skills and state of mind, perfect.”

"It is only the first step to open the door to the ultimate mystery of light. It is equivalent to putting both hands on the door. As for whether it can be pushed open..."

He shrugged and laughed to himself.

"Don't look at me. I've never pushed open the glowing door, or even really touched that door."

“I also really want to know what it’s like to use my own hands to create a glowing miracle and let the ultimate mystery of cooking come to life!”

……

Night market street.

Another pot of flaming dumplings sold out.

Xia An found a towel to wipe his sweat and wiped his forehead.

Seeing this, Lu Jiaxin handed over a mobile phone, pointed at the live broadcast room and said:

"Boss Xia, could you please take some time to interact with the online audience?"

Xia An glanced at Erina Nakiri who was still busy washing the pot, nodded, took the phone and carefully read the comments floating on the screen.

[Boss Xia, look here, can I give birth to a bunch of little monkeys for you? ]

[Boss Xia, I would like to call you the ancient Greek god of light! ]

[Speaking of nicknames, I am really excited. In my daily life, why not brag about XX immortal more often? I would like to call Boss Xia the Glowing Immortal! ]

[Boss Xia, after listening to your explanation of the secret of luminescence, I don’t understand but I am greatly shocked.jpg]

The netizens’ ridiculous comments are simply unbearable to look at.

Xia An's eyes twitched slightly and he put down his phone.

At this time, Director Wei of the Culture and Tourism Bureau led the team to surround the electric tricycle.

Director Wei said with heartfelt respect:
"Boss Xia, we are from the Lijiang Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism. You can just call me Director Wei."

This group of people appeared.

The comments in the live broadcast room suddenly became festive.

Boss Xia set up a stall to prepare ancient dishes three times, and each time was a hit.

This is not right, and it finally led to the official team’s intervention.

Director Wei naturally didn't see the various jokes in the barrage, asking Lijiang City to quickly hold on to this god-level thigh.

He asked incredulously:

"Boss Xia, I won't talk about the ordinary ancient dishes here."

"For the first batch of glowing flame dumplings, please treat them all the same. There are still 3 dumplings per serving, and the price is 5 yuan."

"Don't you think this price is too low?"

"If you want, not to mention a serving or a bowl, each flame dumpling alone can be auctioned off for a sky-high price like a work of art!"

Some of the inquiries are rash and do not quite fit in with the official identity, but they happen to represent the voices of the general public online and offline.

This Boss Xia.

Is it true that he is not seeking to make money by setting up the stall?
So what is he asking for?

People always have to pursue something.

"Director Wei, you mean that the value of glowing dishes is very high, and many people are willing to pay a sky-high price just to taste them, right?"

Xia An shook his head and smiled slightly:

"Then let me make a statement here. When I set up a stall, the dishes I prepare on the spot are for the general public." "So whoever wants to eat them, please come to the night market and try to squeeze in the queue."

Director Wei was silent.

After a moment, he asked tentatively:
"Could you please repeat your explanation of luminescence in simpler and more straightforward terms that the general public can understand?"

Xia An could not deny it:
"Let me take the ancient dish 'Flame Dumplings' as an example."

"First of all, the seasoning, heat and pastry making skills must be excellent, and there cannot be any weaknesses."

"Secondly, study the recipe thoroughly and accumulate proficiency. That's all."

"Finally, adjust your mindset."

Done.

Xia An seemed to remember something and said "oh".

Added: "Also, I need some help from European royal blood, which means I need luck and metaphysics to protect me."

Director Wei and the onlookers: ???
Many people felt that Xia An's answer sounded vaguely familiar.

Have you heard something similar somewhere?

In a luxury house in Lijiang City, the well-known director Gao Shengqi, who was watching a live broadcast, couldn't help but sneeze.

Goldman Sachs was stunned.

The night he was shooting a city promotional video.

Did Boss Xia also answer the program crew's question about how he made "Liehingxian Taishan" in the same way?

"Seasoning, heat control, and pastry making skills all need to be excellent." Gao Shengqi said to himself, "This skill prerequisite is enough to screen out a group of people."

"As for studying ancient recipes and improving my cooking proficiency..."

Gao Shengqi rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.

First of all, the ancient recipes must be complete before we can study them, and then refer to the recipes to try to reproduce and restore the dishes.

This requires screening another group of people.

Also, adjust your mindset?
Metaphysical protection?

"Uh, why would I think about these conditions and steps seriously!" Gao Shengqi reacted and said with a smile, "I'm just a director. Do you really want to steal Boss Xia's luminous secrets?"

Gao Shengqi suddenly thought of something and used his mobile phone to switch from the live broadcast room to the WeChat interface.

Two days ago, a big shot in Shu sent him a message, asking him and his team to take charge of all the behind-the-scenes matters of a new program.

This new program is tentatively named "The Chrysanthemum Goes Downstairs Competition".

"If we can invite Boss Xia to participate in the competition, we can take advantage of his popularity."

"After this new program is launched, it will probably compete head-on with the two popular programs, 'Nine-Star Chef' in Shanghai and 'Who is the Leader of Yangquan Restaurant' in Guangzhou!"

As his thoughts turned, Gao Shengqi felt that he needed to talk to the big boss in Shu, and then talk to Xia An.

Find out what Boss Xia, who is not seeking money, really wants.

……

late at night.

There are many diners who come to the Xingguang Night Market because of its reputation and are reluctant to leave until they have a taste of the flaming dumplings.

Xia An took out a loud speaker and shouted:
"Everyone, come back tomorrow. I promise that I will continue to set up the stall tomorrow, and the location will still be in this night market."

After getting Xia An's promise, the diners who had surrounded the electric tricycle in frustration were finally willing to make way for Xia An to leave.

People lined the streets waving and shouting:
"Boss Xia, I came here from another province specifically. You must set up a stall tomorrow!"

"Woo woo, Boss Xia, I'm from another province too. I didn't get to try Lie Bing Xian Tai Shan or Kai Hua Guo Ba, but you should at least let me try the Flame Dumplings, right?"

"Boss Xia, you are the ancient Greek god in charge of the night market. Can you let me eat glowing flame dumplings?"

All the enthusiastic and visionary voices made Xia An feel heavy.

Even though he was driving his electric tricycle on the way back, Xia An couldn't relax. In his mind, the diners' sparkling eyes full of expectation and desire emerged. He felt that if he didn't set up the stall tomorrow, he would be letting down the enthusiasm of so many people.

It’s okay, luckily it’s a fried dumpling dish.

The food preparation process can be completed during the day. The dumplings can be pre-made in boxes, and when setting up the stall, the finished dumplings can be taken out and fried.

"Try to make more dumplings tomorrow and work until three or four in the morning to satisfy more diners!"

Xia An said secretly.

Ding!
A new message popped up on the panel.

[Complete the stall, improve your mood, and obtain 'City Life·Chef's Heart' fragment*1. 】
