The boss cooks, and the bankrupt company opens a state banquet restaurant

Chapter 166 Two giant orders!

Jingzhou, delicious food, 19th floor.

"A little to the left, yes, a little to the left and higher!"

The door directly opposite the elevator has a new medal hanging above the rows of photos.

【Bocuse d'Or World Culinary Competition】

【champion】! ! !

Winner: Liu Abao.

"Why the hell do I feel like this champion of mine is just a parallel import?" Abao stood at the door looking at the certificate, feeling a little unreal.

a week ago.

When the host asked Su Chen, why do you insist on wearing a suit when cooking?

Boss Su, who has never understood humor, gave what he thought was a humorous answer in front of television cameras and hundreds of thousands of viewers.

"I think this might be more handsome."

After that day, Su Chen got a new nickname: The King of Awkward!

And Liu Abao also got his wish in the finals, winning the championship with the Bobo Chicken made by the team, the one-yuan Bobo Chicken.

Later, with the help of Fang Chang and Boss Fang, everyone enjoyed the trip for three or four days before returning home.

After returning to China, Su Chen felt that it was not enough.

They simply gave employees another three-day holiday!

This behavior made many people who came to visit A ​​Bao and Su Chen in vain, and a saying spread among the chefs for a while.

There is nothing we can do as chefs, Boss Su? When people open restaurants and cook delicious food, it's just for fun.

Yes, and then just play a world champion or something, that's no problem.

Of course, for Abao to win the world championship this time, the domestic chef community believes that this championship is not very valuable, especially in the eyes of those old-fashioned people. In the finals, Abao's team won the championship by completely cheating. , did not show the true strength of Chinese cuisine at all!

Su Chen didn't care at all.

After the three-day holiday, the first thing I did was to hang the medal that Bao got on the 19th floor!

Starting today, Delicious will receive another honor!

"You think it's unreal?" Zhang Jiayi shook her head and smiled bitterly, "My dad holds a celebration banquet for me every day these days, and he also bought a big speaker. At every banquet, he asked me to show off my skills to relatives and perform the Bobo Chicken. !”

Zhang Jiayi felt that her life was really miserable.

In front of so many aunts and uncles, I stood at the dinner table and shouted Bobo Chicken for one yuan a bunch.

If the aunts and uncles hadn't shouted to each other, they would have given tens of thousands of yuan in red envelopes.

Zhang Jiayi has already fallen out!

As for Zhang Heping, he somehow got a world championship team award. The second child happily said that when he travels to other cities to find a job in the future, if he doesn’t have a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan, he can’t do it!

To say that the person who gained the most this time has to be Boss Su.

After returning to the company, the employees were given three days off, but Su Chen himself was not idle.

Su Chen always locked the door on the 19th floor and the entire floor, and then stayed in the office.

When I'm hungry, I just make something SS-level to eat. When I'm tired, I fall asleep. When I wake up, I go back to the practice room.

On the first day of the holiday, Meililai also welcomed its first old friend.

"It's all up to my fifth brother to help me this time! Otherwise our Chinese players would be in danger!"

Lu Yongliang and Shang Mingke came to Jingzhou.

At first glance, I knew that Liu Abao had tipped off the news, otherwise the time would not have been so accurate and he would have arrived right after work.

Su Chen didn't smile very well, "Old man, as the saying goes, reading thousands of books means traveling thousands of miles. I have benefited a lot from going abroad this time."

"What should I say?" Lu Yongliang actually regretted not being able to accompany his apprentice to the competition.

"A few days ago, I almost ate at all the Chinese restaurants in Malaysia and found that the situation of Chinese food abroad does not seem to be optimistic."

Lu Yongliang touched his chin, "I don't know much about this, but most of the friends I know don't open restaurants abroad."

Su Chen took over the conversation, "There is a common problem in foreign Chinese restaurants now. Large portions and enough filling! Everything can be fried, no matter what you do, it will be delicious after being fried. Well, this is It has nothing to do with us."

Su Chen just felt a little emotional.

In the current catering situation abroad, French cuisine is indeed the dominant one, while Japanese cuisine is the most popular in Asia.

The reason why Chinese food business is pretty good is: large quantity, cheap, and full of food!

Very few people eat Chinese food because it’s delicious.

This phenomenon really made Su Chen feel a lot.

Lu Yongliang took a deep breath and said, "Chefs with two skills can become successful at home. There is no need to go abroad to develop."

Seeing Su Chen's concern for the country and the people, Shang Mingke spoke at this time, "Boss Su, many things are done step by step and slowly. It is indeed rare for you to have such a big heart."

Su Chen turned his head and said, "What kind of magnanimity? That's not what I meant. It's just that many foreigners have been contacting our company recently. I'm worried about how to handle these orders."

Forehead!

Shang Mingke suddenly thought of Su Chen's new nickname circulating on the Internet during this period, the King of Awkward!

Compared to being embarrassed, you really know how to play.

"Oh? Are foreigners looking for you to cook?"

Su Chen nodded, "After we got the ranking, many foreign so-called gourmets, as well as food weekly newspapers and magazines, wanted to come and taste our food."

"Isn't this a good thing?" Lu Yongliang was a little shocked.

really!

Participating in competitions is always a shortcut to success. What others can’t achieve even after years of hard work can be achieved by winning the championship.

Of course, that championship is not so easy to win!

"I'm not going to take orders from foreigners for the time being. I don't care about gourmet magazines or weeklies."

Su Chen has obviously made his decision, "People's food preferences have a lot to do with their region. Since there is no guarantee that the delicious food will be loved by customers, it is better not to make it."

Especially those messy newspapers and magazines in the West, they like to exaggerate.

The size of the delicious food is not at that level.

"Of course you have your own plans, so we can't say more." Lu Yongliang rubbed his belly, "You didn't eat this morning."

Su Chen sneered, "Isn't this your real purpose? I just have some leftover rice from yesterday, so I'm going to fry some rice for you two."

fried rice?

Shang Mingke glanced at Mr. Lu and said, "Fried rice is fine. Can you have an extra tea egg? Boss Su, I will definitely not eat your food in vain."

There is something in the words!

"Okay." Su Chen agreed immediately.

Anyway, tea eggs are not troublesome to make, and it will be even easier if you only make a few.

Wait for Su Chen to leave the office.

Shang Mingke breathed a sigh of relief, "Old man, Boss Su said that before I even said what happened. Can he still agree to this?"

Lu Yongliang touched his chin, obviously a little unsure.

"Boss Su does everything based on his own preferences. Since we are here, we must tell him. If not, please mention the budget again. At least let Boss Su see our sincerity."

Mr. Shang nodded, "The budget is not a problem. Now many famous people in the capital are eyeing Boss Su. As long as the business starts, he will have no worries about his orders."

"Hey!" Lao Lu looked at the direction in which Su Chen disappeared angrily, "This guy is not kind! We have traveled thousands of miles to deliver business to him, but he actually entertained us with fried rice with eggs. Look at how I'll treat you later. Talk about him!”

After saying that, the old man walked out of the office with his hands on his back and sat in the cafeteria quietly waiting for Su Fifth Brother to feed him.

"This delicious food is getting better and better! I think back on that day when my fifth brother and I were competing in this kitchen, less than three months have passed."

Shang Mingke chuckled and said, "Boss Su is indeed one of the best among people. At that time, I just thought that he was a company on the verge of bankruptcy. If it weren't for the pressure from the relationship above, I might not have come here. Fortunately, I came, otherwise If you do, you will miss the opportunity to get to know Boss Su!"

The two chatted with each other.

Liu Abao originally wanted to say a few words, but Shang Mingke was here. He was more afraid of this big brother, so he hid on the second floor and never came.

Not long after.

Su Chen came out with a large bowl of egg fried rice and a bowl of tea eggs, "Hey, you can take the utensils yourself."

Although it was just a simple egg fried rice, Lu Yongliang and Shang Mingke were still very excited and hurried to get a small bowl and spoon.

Especially Lu Yongliang, this old man is very smart despite his age.

He had tasted how delicious the tea eggs were, but Shang Mingke didn't know.

While Shang Mingke was serving rice, the old man simply pinched five tea eggs into his bowl.

There was only the last tea egg left in the small basin.

"Old man, you..." Shang Mingke was stunned.

If you eat five tea eggs in the morning, can you withstand this at your age?

Lu Yongliang chuckled, "I don't know what's going on these days, but I like to eat tea eggs. You eat fried rice first, and I'll eat it later."

Shang Mingke was doubtful.

The spoon gently scoops a little bit of rice into the mouth, and at the same time reaches out to pinch the last tea egg.

However, before his hand touched the tea egg, he suddenly stopped.

'This is! '

Shang Mingke was shocked.

'Is this egg fried rice? '

Staring at the rice in the bowl in disbelief, he immediately took it back with his outstretched hand, quickly took another spoon and put it in his mouth.

'Is this really egg fried rice? '

When it comes to egg fried rice, probably no one eats it more than Shang Mingke. The canteen of the Urban Construction Group has this stuff every morning.

As for the staff canteen, although the food is good, it is still a big pot of rice. Shang Mingke usually has half a bowl of fried rice, a cup of soy milk or milk, and an egg in the morning.

So he has some say in the egg fried rice.

It usually feels very greasy in the mouth, followed by a strong eggy smell, and then, a mouthful of fried onions.

These feelings are completely absent from the egg fried rice provided by Su Chen!

Instead, there was an egg fragrance without a trace of fishy smell, and every time he chewed it, the unique fragrance of rice burst out from his mouth!

It feels like running in the rice fields!

"Hahahahaha~"

Shang Mingke, a mature and steady person, actually lost his composure at this moment and couldn't help but start eating.

Lu Yongliang next to him found it a little funny when he saw Shang Mingke showing off his fried rice.

'Xiao Shang doesn't seem to have any good food in the capital. '

'How could he be so greedy for a bowl of egg fried rice? Then if he eats tea eggs later, won’t he have to swallow his tongue? '

When Lu Yongliang finished the last tea egg, Shang Mingke had almost finished the large bowl of fried rice.

After Lu Yongliang filled a bowl, the fried rice in the basin just reached the bottom.

"I'm not blaming you." Lu Yongliang said earnestly, "Although Boss Su's food is delicious, you can't be so careless about your own image! After all, you are the boss of Urban Construction. What does this sound like?"

After saying that, Lu Yongliang scooped up some fried rice and put it into his mouth disapprovingly, "You look like this, I am ashamed of myself!"

Before the old man could finish his sentence, he was confused by the taste in his mouth.

Bah, bah, bah!

After finishing a small bowl of egg fried rice in two or three mouthfuls, he realized that there was nothing in the bowl. He looked at Shang Mingke in bewilderment, "I mean, you eat so fast! It turns out that this egg fried rice has great potential!"

Looking back, Lu Yongliang was heartbroken that he had missed out on such delicious egg fried rice for a few tea eggs!

"Tea eggs are also delicious!" Shang Mingke is usually serious, but when he encounters something delicious, he always becomes like a child.

Lu Yongliang shook his head speechlessly.

"My father and I are in the hands of Boss Su. I feel like we haven't had enough yet."

Shang Mingke also nodded, "Yeah, it feels like eating it is like not eating it."

But to be honest, Su Chen made a lot of fried rice. After all, the two of them were respectable people, and neither of them was embarrassed to let Su Chen cook some more.

I can only look at the basin and sigh.

"Forget it, let's go to the second floor now and let A Bao make us some steamed buns to eat."

Now that everyone is back at work, everything in Delicious Food will return to normal business conditions.

The small dining table on the second floor is not open for the next few days, and Jingzhou Kindergarten will be on autumn break for half a month.

Autumn tiger, in order to let the children have a good lunch break and prevent heat stroke, this autumn break is always available.

It can also be regarded as a feature of Jingzhou.

Lu Yongliang and Shang Mingke went to the second floor. Su Chen was still in his office at this time.

During this time, Su Chen, besides trying more delicious food in the practice room, was also doing something very interesting.

I have to mention the mission rewards obtained abroad this time.

One is a general history of world cuisine.

This was the reward brought by this main mission. What surprised Su Chen was that this thing was actually a book!

You can't take it out in reality, you can only close your eyes and watch it in your mind, and you can't remember it directly like an initiation. You can only read it bit by bit slowly, which is somewhat similar to reading a book.

Su Chen has been studying this book these days.

Needless to say, this book is quite interesting. The content inside combines the food culture from all over the world with the local geography and history and culture to give a very detailed explanation. It can be called a complete history book!

There was so much content, Su Chen roughly estimated that even if he did nothing in his life, just reading this thing would be enough.

'If it could be given to the country, this would definitely be a favorite among historians! '

But Su Chen had no intention of excerpting it and giving it to the country.

When he is not busy, Su Chen lies down and studies this book. Currently, he is mainly studying the evolution of major domestic cuisines.

The rest of the time is spent in the practice room.

Don't forget, in addition to the main mission, Su Chen also completed a side mission this time and received a very generous reward!

Famous Chinese snacks!

Paired with the famous Chinese recipes, the combination of the two made Su Chen feel that he was now Zhang Wuji who had obtained the Nine Suns Magic Skill, and was invincible!

So during this period, apart from studying, Su Chen was bored in the practice room studying snacks.

Don't say

In fact, studying these snacks is actually much more interesting than studying famous dishes from major cuisines.

Not only is it fun to make, but it is also very delicious. The key is that the requirements for the ingredients are not so demanding.

After sitting in the office and reading for several hours, Su Chen didn't move for a while until ten o'clock in the morning and came to the second floor.

On the first day of vacation, there is a lot of work to be done.

The first person to bear the brunt was a person who had been harassing Ling Shuyu in the past few days.

"Boss Su! I have admired my name for a long time, I have admired my name for a long time!"

Mr. Feng had been visiting Meishilai for three days in a row, but Su Chen stayed behind closed doors every time.

I came here early this morning and said I wanted to discuss cooperation.

Originally Su Chen asked Ling Shuyu to connect, but after Ling Shuyu learned about the situation, she just said that this cooperation was a bit special and she was not sure.

"Please sit down." Su Chen asked Mr. Feng to sit down, "Zhang Li, pour some tea."

Seeing Su Chen's calm look, Feng Yaoyang smiled and said, "Boss Su, has he forgotten me?"

"you are?"

"That day in the food world, your egg fried rice was so delicious. I ate the whole pot by myself."

Su Chen recalled for a moment, "Ha, it turns out it's you. But Mr. Feng, the egg fried rice is not on the menu for the time being."

Su Chen thought that this middle-aged man was eating delicious fried rice with eggs, and that he came to discuss cooperation with him in a chain store or something.

This kind of thing has always happened, but Bai Xiaobo pushed it away.

"It's not about egg fried rice." Feng Yaoyang spoke with a strong Hong Kong style, "Boss Su, I wonder if you will accept this order?"

Feng Yaoyang took out a small card from his pocket and saw that he was prepared.

Su Chen took it and took a look.

[Budget: 10. 】

[Number of people dining: 5 people. 】

[Demand: Try famous snacks from all over the country. 】

Seeing Su Chen's silence, Feng Yaoyang said, "Boss Su, the meal time does not have to be fixed. It can be one day or one week. I can stay in Jingzhou for ten days. As long as you can stay within ten days, Let me taste at least 30 kinds of snacks, and I can still mention it in my budget."

Businessmen talk business.

Feng Yaoyang came to Jingzhou this time mainly to deal with the China Merchants Bureau's project to build a new style street in the development zone.

Through these few days of inspection.

Feng Yaoyang also discovered the problem.

Kaiqufa cannot afford a super-large project like Fengqing Street.

The so-called Fengqing Street is not just about getting some food and drink, it must have its own characteristics.

This can be compared to cities such as Dalian, Tianjin, Shanghai, etc.

A Fengqing Street must have its own style, rather than just being a place for eating and drinking and calling it a Fengqing Street.

Therefore, Feng Yaoyang thought that instead of building a style street, it would be better to reduce the investment and build a food street first!

This is also the reason why he appeared at Jingzhou City Food Street that day.

But after meeting Su Chen, Feng Yaoyang's mind changed again.

Therefore, the reason why Feng Yaoyang can give a budget of 100,000 yuan is not that Feng Yaoyang does not know how to do business, but that he is very good at doing business.

Feng Yaoyang regarded this money as a meeting gift. Only with the first handshake can there be subsequent cooperation.

Hong Kong businessmen have always been very generous in this regard.

"Thirty kinds of snacks?" Su Chen muttered.

With a budget of 100,000 yuan, Mr. Feng can still stay in Jingzhou for ten days, which works out to 10,000 yuan per day, and all he needs to do is make three kinds of snacks.

Not difficult.

You can make money while experimenting with your results.

But Su Chen was not in a hurry to agree.

"I wonder what Mr. Feng means by the cooperation he mentioned many times?"

Feng Yaoyang didn't give in. "Originally, I was planning to invest in a food street in the development zone, but after tasting your egg fried rice, I feel that it is completely unnecessary to build delicious food around your company."

We are already in the development zone, why not go to Taishui Lai instead of the food court?

"So I think." Feng Yaoyang glanced around, "There are still a lot of empty spaces in your building, which can be used to handle snacks. I wonder if Boss Su is interested?"

Hearing this, Su Chen frowned slightly.

Delicious Food is not its own property in this building. To put it bluntly, anyone can rent those empty floors.

But in Su Chen's business map, he had long regarded those empty floors as the target of his future development.

"Mr. Feng, we have no ideas in this regard for the time being." Su Chen simply rejected Feng Yaoyang.

"Well, let's not rush it yet." Feng Yaoyang was not depressed at all by Su Chen's rejection, "No matter what, I am lucky to be able to taste the delicious food you made. Oh, by the way, that Bobo Chicken, really One dollar a string?”

Gan!

Su Chen looked at this middle-aged man speechlessly, "Are you kidding me?"

Without taking a sip of tea, Feng Yaoyang flattered him and left.

This order worth 100,000 yuan was taken by Su Chen.

As for cooperation, Su Chen didn't have any ideas anyway. The company was his own, and it would be very troublesome for others to get involved.

After sending Feng Yaoyang away, Shang Mingke came in again.

"Boss Su, we are old acquaintances. I will get straight to the point."

"That's right, why should Brother Shang be so polite to me?"

Shang Mingke's expression was a little complicated, "Uncle Lu, you have taken me under my wing, and now I am also a brother. That's it."

"Everyone has his own discussion." Su Chen also found it a bit funny.

Shang Mingke shook his head, "One family does not speak the same language. Urban Construction Group has won a foreign bid, and Party A will come to visit the group headquarters in a week. I hope that the first dinner can be at Delicious."

Without waiting for Su Chen to say anything, Shang Mingke continued, "I also heard that you just said that you are not prepared to receive foreigners, but all the guests this time are foreigners. Boss Su, we still have a personal relationship. For this favor, you have to help."

"Tsk." Su Chen smacked his lips.

Why are you afraid of something coming?

"What country are you from?" If it's a foreigner's dinner, it's not that simple.

Shang Mingke didn't answer quickly. He thought for a moment, "This Party A's identity is somewhat special."

"Talk about it."

"He is an overseas Chinese." Shang Mingke said slowly, "When I was a child, I went to Guangdong University. When I was fifteen years old, I followed my father to go abroad. I have been living in China for more than thirty years. This time we are the correct one. It is a project of Faguo. Although the project problem is not serious, I still want to do a good job in hosting this to make it easier to do things in the future."

Party A’s father wants to entertain everyone well.

If nothing else, maybe it will be easier when I ask for money in the future.

"Huh?" Su Chen thought of something, "I feel like this person is a bit similar to your manager?"

Ling Shuyu had introduced Shang Mingke to Su Chen when he was still working at Xinghui. He also returned to China after studying abroad for many years.

"It's different." Shang Mingke said, "If we just talk about food. I went abroad for a few years, and after returning home, I missed the taste of my hometown. But this person has lived abroad for more than thirty years! Life in China is only It was just a very short experience in his life.”

"That's right." Su Chen leaned back and took a deep breath, "In this case, should I cook French food or Cantonese food? I can't figure it out!"

Shang Mingke also made the same move, and it was obvious that both of them were a little embarrassed about this matter, "If you don't tell me, you will have to take action on this matter!"

"Okay, then I understand. Party A still has a week to arrive, right?"

"Ah."

The preparation time is quite sufficient.

"This will definitely help. I don't plan to receive foreigners because I don't want to mix with those media magazines. Brother Shang is of course a favor."

Hearing this, Shang Mingke became happy, "Then it's settled! Seven days later, I will bring the guests here to dine. In terms of number of people, it will be me and the other party. There will be no more than three people at most."

"Okay." Su Chen agreed.

Shang Mingke didn't like talking nonsense either. Now that the matter was settled, he exchanged greetings with Su Chen, went outside to say hello to Lu Yongliang, and left directly.

Su Chen asked Liu Abao to take the old man to the 32nd floor to rest first. He called everyone to the office for the first meeting since resumption of work.

"This is the first time that Delicious Food has been exported to the international market, and it's also an order from Mr. Shang. No matter what, everyone, keep your spirits up and go all out after I work out the specific plan!"

This kind of thing doesn't require much arrangement, and the employees at Delicious Food have long been accustomed to it.

Su Chen continued, "Furthermore, the second floor will remain open starting from tomorrow. The main person in charge of the kitchen is Liu Abao."

After doing it for so long, Abao is still relatively comfortable.

"Zhang Heping moved to the third floor to share some work with Lao Shiqi."

Others continue to maintain their original work content.

"There is a window available for me on the third floor. The Hong Kong businessman's order will be completed on the third floor. For snacks, there is no need to go to the 19th floor. Liu Shengnan will come to my office later. Making snacks requires a lot of new kitchen utensils. Bai Xiaobo took someone to clean up a kitchen on the third floor for me to use."

After arranging the work contents for the recent week, Su Chen returned to the nineteenth floor.

Three kinds of snacks every day are almost not difficult for Su Chen who owns "Chinese Famous Snacks".

It's just that the seasonings for some snacks need to be made in advance, so you have to line up a little further back, and Feng Yaoyang's dining time is always in the evening, so he has to prepare at least three snacks before tonight.

"What are snacks?"

Before planning the plan, Su Chen first read the introduction of the reward again.

"Snacks have specific taste characteristics and are an embellishment during banquets. They are also the main food for breakfast and late-night snacks."

It can be seen from this introduction that the snack recipes rewarded by the system do not refer to things like roasted gluten on the street.

It is a real snack passed down by China for thousands of years.

"Snacks are often an important feature of a region, and they are also the main thing that makes tourists miss their hometown."

Su Chen couldn't agree more with this.

A person has been away from his hometown for a long time. In addition to missing the rice cooked by his old mother, what he misses most is certain snacks from his hometown.

That thing is often not available elsewhere.

Perhaps it is hidden in a nook and cranny of my hometown in the county. Travelers who are out and about want to try this snack whenever they meet someone. Even when they bring their classmates and friends home, they will share this delicacy with them as soon as possible.

Because snacks are very regional and this is a Hong Kong businessman, I am afraid that most snacks from the mainland are unheard of.

In this case, Su Chen decided to have something light first.

Put things like blood sausage at the back.

The closest Guangdong rice roll to Xiangjiang is a must-have.

This is the first battle to present delicious snacks to Hong Kong businessmen. Only by bringing out rice rolls can they be beautiful!

Then there is Jinling cuisine with a more international style, duck blood vermicelli soup!

I dare not say it is the most representative snack, but it is definitely a snack that sounds very regional to outsiders!

Thirdly, Su Chen was originally very interested in the Dongyang urine eggs in Zhejiang Province, but considering that the government kindergarten has not yet opened, it is not an easy task to collect so much children's urine, so he had to give up in the end!

But after the government kindergarten starts, this thing will definitely have to be done.

Su Chenju was damn curious, is this food delicious or does it have any special effects?

Let Bai Xiaobo try it first then!

Since Zhejiang Province could not find suitable snacks for the time being, Su Chen chose the neighboring Shanghai market.

This is a gourmet snack that has become very popular on the Internet recently - pork ribs rice cake.

But unlike what is shown on TV, this dish is introduced in famous snacks as: Braised Pork Ribs Rice Cake.

It is said that this snack was originally the signature of the famous "Little Changzhou" pork rib noodle shop in Shanghai. Later, it was reorganized after a joint venture and now it has become Shuguang Restaurant.

In Shanghai, where land is at a premium, the flavor that this braised pork ribs rice cake should have had has long been lost in the ecstasy.

Snacks finalized.

Su Chen summoned Liu Shengnan and immediately prepared various ingredients. At the same time, he also needed to buy some special kitchen utensils.

There was still a whole day until dinner.

Practice room, let’s get started!
