1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 252 The First National Cooking Competition

In the next week, Luo Tao first contacted these old gentlemen.

When they heard that Luo Tao was going to hold a church meeting, they were all shocked at first and then happy, and they all agreed to help contact him.

Last year, the drama group also held an exclusive Spring Festival Gala.

Through their own connections, the old gentlemen posted hero posts widely and invited famous Peking opera masters they knew well.

They also gave me a special favor and agreed to come, as many as 23 people. Luo Tao originally thought that it would be great to invite ten.

After being introduced by these famous Peking Opera masters, I went to hire a Peking Opera band teacher. The lingo of the opera band is called "Wenwu Field" or "Scene".

Wenwuchang refers to the orchestral part of the opera band, which is called "Wenwuchang" and consists of various huqins, yueqin, pipa, ruan, etc.

The percussion section is called the "martial arts field" and consists of different types of drums, boards, gongs, cymbals, etc.

There are quite a few people there, so if you're looking for one person, you don't have to worry about finding the next one. They all know people.

Luo Tao all followed their personality preferences. If there was a gentleman who liked to eat, he would invite him to dinner. If he liked chatting, he would open a salon and receive them all together. If he visited them one by one, Luo Tao really didn't have that much time.

Because he still has one big thing to be busy with, which is to participate in the National Culinary Masters Technical Performance Appraisal Meeting in November this year, which is the first national-level cooking competition held after the founding of New China.

This is a matter for a state-owned unit, and not everyone who participates has a professional title. Luo Tao never thought that Xichang Building could participate, but now Xichang Building is so valued by the leaders.

Comrade Li Shu of the city even made a phone call in person, saying that it would be impossible not to participate, so Luo Tao applied for four places in Xichang Tower.

Luo Tao also conveyed this news to everyone immediately, and they went crazy when they heard the news.

At around nine o'clock, when everyone was busy with the work in the store, Luo Tao gathered all the employees of the two stores together and prepared to hold a small meeting.

"Our first meeting today is about participating in the cooking competition. I reported four people, Master Jin, Master Hong, Master Wu, and Master Zhang."

"This is not my favoritism, and the other masters should not think too much... This competition is not a trivial matter, it is the biggest thing for our Xichang Tower.

In the following days, everyone must give way to everything and prepare for this national cooking competition.

It is at this time that Xichang Tower has become famous all over the country. I hope that the four master chefs can win glory for our Xichang Tower and strive to be on the list without seeking first place. "

As soon as Luo Tao finished speaking, Hou Ming immediately greeted him and took the lead in applauding, "That's so good, everyone applauds."

"Clap clap clap!"

The clapping sound was so loud that Luo Tao couldn't help but follow suit.

"Okay, as long as all four of you can be on the list, I will give you all a salary increase."

No one expected that Luo Tao, the boss, would be so generous. Only then would he increase his salary, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.

"The other chefs who are not participating in the competition will have to work harder during this period, and the service staff must also do a good job in serving. For example, you must patiently introduce the palace dishes to the diners."

"I don't want to hear anyone say that our Xichang Restaurant's service is not good, but for those diners who are looking for trouble, the purpose of our Xichang Restaurant's service is just one word: get lost."

Luo Tao was telling them about the culture of Xichang Tower, subtly giving them a greater sense of belonging to Xichang Tower.

The people who open their mouths and shut up are all from our Xichang Tower.

The chatter lasted for more than an hour. Luo Tao really used his sharp tongue to brainwash them and tried his best to lure them.

Time flies and it’s the day of the National Culinary Competition in November.

Luo Tao was lying in the small courtyard at home, playing with Begonia and Pomegranate, waiting for the final result of the competition.

He didn't go to the venue to watch it in person. He didn't want to go there and be a marginalized person. It would be even more painful to wait for the results.

"Tao'er, do you think Mr. Jin can win a gold medal for his good cooking skills?" Luo Shaoyi, who was lying next to Luo Tao, asked absently while flipping through the book.Since the whole family knew about this, they were more concerned. Except for Xiao Shiyue and Sister He who were not here today, the original family of three stayed in the courtyard waiting for the news.

"It's hard to say, there is no shortage of capable people in the whole country. In the capital alone, there are two masters, Wang and Liu, from Fengzeyuan, as well as Jingcheng Restaurant and other time-honored brands. Don't underestimate them.

It's okay if Jin Ye can be on the list. After all, they are all state-owned and Xichang Restaurant is the only private restaurant. "

As soon as Luo Tao finished speaking, Su Guilan, who was using a sewing machine to make sleeves in the courtyard, stopped what she was doing, held her reading glasses and said, "If Mr. Jin doesn't win the award, there will definitely be something wrong with him."

When Luo Tao and his son heard what she said, they were frightened to death.

"What are you talking about? Let's talk about everything outside. We have had enough good lives, haven't we?" Luo Shaoyi had to criticize him severely.

Su Guilan also felt that she had made a bit of a mistake today, "Aren't I just talking at home?"

Luo Tao touched his face, these words were too familiar.

"Mom, you can't say these words no matter at home or outside from now on. There are so many things going on this year. You haven't read the newspaper. It's not a small thing for someone who cares to hear it."

Luo Tao had to prick the old lady's ears. The family had been living so smoothly in the past few years, and she even dared to talk nonsense about the above-mentioned matters.

When Su Guilan heard what Luo Tao said about what was published in the newspaper this year, she felt scared and said weakly: "I have written down this matter, and I will never talk about it in the future."

Her experiences in the first half of her life were good and bad, and she was very afraid.

Luo Tao didn't want to scare her, because the Luo family is not an ordinary family now, and people who are interested will definitely make a fuss if they hear about it.

The richer you are, the more you are afraid of not having money; the more powerful you are, the more you are afraid of not having power; the more famous you are, the more you are afraid of not being famous.

It's too cold to be high.

This little episode of not talking about state affairs has just passed.

Hou Ming came to announce the good news, sweating profusely and breathing heavily, saying: "Uncle, aunt, brother, we are so happy!"

"Speak slowly and drink some water first." Seeing him like this, Luo Tao knew that the result of the game would be good, and he was busy pouring him tea.

"How is Mingzi?" Su Guilan asked eagerly.

"Huh, Mr. Jin won the Best Chef. He said he ranked better than Mr. Wang Yijun, but he didn't make it into the top three."

"Both masters Wu and Zhang have become excellent chefs."

Hou Ming was so anxious when he spoke, "What about Master Hong?"

"Hehe! He also won a technical performance award. We didn't participate except for the dim sum and cold meat platter, and we didn't win any awards. We won all the other three items, so we returned home with a full load."

Luo Tao was really happy, "Then when will they come back?"

"I don't know. I said I wanted to attend some kind of meeting."

"Oh, let's not talk about this for now. You go to those newspapers first. As soon as the "Beijing Daily" publishes this matter tomorrow morning, ask them to publish it as well. We can create as much momentum as possible. Don’t be afraid of spending money if you have the potential.”

As a reborn person, Luo Tao knows how terrifying the media and the Internet are, and the impact they can bring is beyond people's imagination.

Without publicity, a well-written novel is of no use.
