Chapter 702 Mexican Day of the Dead!

Kneading, rolling, cutting...

The eldest sister's movements are smooth and smooth, and they are synthesized together. The noodles are ready in the pot in less than 20 minutes.

While cooking the noodles, the eldest sister took out a plastic bucket from the refrigerator, unscrewed the lid, dug out a spoonful of meat sauce, threw it into another pot, and quickly chopped some carrots, cucumbers, and fungus. Put it into the meat sauce, add some starch water, stir-fry it, then turn your head and take out the cooked noodles from another noodle pot, pass it in cold water again, and put it into a bowl.

The fragrant whistle is poured on the noodles, which makes people's appetite shock.

Silwo sniffed and said in surprise: "It smells so good, why haven't you guys sold it before?"

"Hey, little craft, I'm not a professional, it's homely, I can't do it!"

The eldest sister smiled shyly, rubbing her apron with both hands.

Li Zhifan drew two chopsticks and handed one to Silwo.

Silwo took the chopsticks, but he didn't know how to use them. Seeing that Li Zhifan held the chopsticks between his fingers, he also imitated the chopsticks, but after holding them, the other hand would fall off immediately if he didn't hold on to them. down.

Seeing this scene, Ma Tengyun immediately found a fork, took another plate, and handed it to Silwo.

"Thank you!"

Slightly embarrassed, Silver picked up his fork and plate.

Li Zhifan gave him a chopstick, and gave him some meat sauce: "Try it!"

Silver savored it carefully, stirred the noodle sauce with a fork, rolled up a forkful of noodles, and ate it in one bite.

"taste good or not?"

Li Zhifan asked with a smile.

The eldest sister also looked at Silvo expectantly.

"Well, not bad! Really good!"

Silver said repeatedly, "It's very delicious!"

Li Zhifan turned to Ma Tengyun and his aunt and said, "It's very good, you can try it!"

"Hey, hey!"

Ma Tengyun nodded again and again, "We'll study after we get down!"

Li Zhifan then gave Ma Tengyun some advice on cooking. Although Ma Tengyun is a professional chef, Li Zhifan really has the capital to give him advice.

"Come on, I'll cook a few dishes and you're open."

As he was talking, Li Zhifan was very itchy. He took off his coat and threw it to Silwo, and got an apron from Ma Tengyun, and then checked the main ingredients, ingredients and accessories, and only started after making sure there were those he needed.

In the Chinese gourmet market, there have already been many Chinese and Western dishes, such as the common basic fast food such as barbecue bibimbap and chicken chop bibimbap, and even some western fast food, which has been absorbed by Chinese food and turned into a dish, such as Orleans grilled wings, curry chicken nuggets, etc.

Li Zhifan cut two eggplants with a knife, and planned to have a simple braised eggplant, and ordered Ma Tengyun to tear some mushrooms for dry frying, as well as tenderloin strips, for a sweet and sour pork tenderloin.

Because the ingredients are limited, he can’t cook much, but the braised eggplant and sweet and sour pork are both sweet, and Americans like this set, and the dry fried mushrooms can be sprinkled with salt and pepper, tomato sauce and salad dressing.

Silwo completely forgot that he and Li Zhifan came to eat, and he watched curiously while Li Zhifan was holding the knife.

I thought it would take at least half an hour for these three dishes.

Who knew that three dishes would be ready in just over 10 minutes, but from side dishes to serving, this speed could catch up with the chef of any restaurant in China.

The three dishes were placed on four plates, and each plate was allocated a little.

Putting down the pot, Li Zhifan said to Silver: "Give it to colleagues outside to have a taste."

"Then shall we keep a copy?"

Silver licked his lips, feeling so hungry, his stomach grumbled inadvertently.

"Okay, then you can save a copy and try it."

With the help of Ma Tengyun, the two walked away with their plates.

Li Zhifan washed his hands without taking off his apron, and followed him out.

Silver held the dinner plate and looked around, because the quantity was limited, so he must have a choice in his mind.

Therefore, the important management of DreamWorks and various directors were selected.

"Oncos! Come try it! New product!"

Silver walked up to Angkos and put a plate down.

Angkers was eating hamburgers, eating fried chicken, and chatting with the team about the work at hand.

Suddenly a plate of Chinese food was served, and Angkos looked up at the person who came.

"Sylvo!" Angkos smiled, glanced at Ma Tengyun who was following him, thought it was a new Chinese dish, and didn't take it seriously, "Okay, I'll try it!"

As he spoke, he picked up a fork and forked a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin. After eating it, he savored two mouthfuls, and his eyes widened instantly.

"Good!"

Angkos couldn't help but blurted out, "This new dish is good!"

"There are three other things, you all have to try!"

Seeing Angkers' appearance, other employees next to him came up to taste it one after another. Some of them didn't have knives and forks, so they found a toothpick from somewhere, stuck a piece and put it in their mouths.

The most popular one is the dry fried mushrooms, because it is sprinkled with plum powder, it tastes familiar and special.

If it can continue to do well, I am afraid that this will become another delicacy that is popular all over the world after potato chips.

"eat slowly!"

Silver said hello and turned to the next place.

As soon as he left, Li Zhifan walked over and asked, "Everyone, how are you doing?"

"GOOD!"

Seeing Li Zhifan wearing an apron, Angkers thought he was a new cook, so he didn't take it seriously, and said directly, "From now on, you must have this fried mushroom dish on your menu, I will eat it every day!"

"okay!"

Li Zhifan smiled, turned around and continued to chase Silver.

Silvo's second stop is Matthew.

There are only two people eating together on Matthew's side. Seeing Silvo, Matthew said hello: "Here, let's eat together!"

"Oh no!"

Silver said, "Matthew, try this, it's just for you!"

Matthew was surprised at first, then smiled and said, "Thank you!"

While talking, he turned his eyes to Ma Tengyun behind him, remembering the Chinese food he ate last time, he had forgotten what it was called, but it was disgusting—it was too unpalatable.

After Silvo and Ma Tengyun left, Matthew smiled at his companion and said casually: "I really don't understand why this restaurant adds Chinese food. There are not many Chinese employees here, and they don't eat Chinese food. , the one I ate last time..."

Suddenly, Matthew stopped to complain.

Because he just took a bite of braised eggplant.

This flavor, this sauce, this sweet and sour taste, is simply amazing!

"call!"

Matthew calmed down and said to his companion, "Try it quickly, you won't regret it!"

"is it?"

The companion also took a sip, his expression became bright instantly, and then he couldn't wait to try the other two dishes.

"GOOD! GOOD! GOOD!"

The two of them quickly swept the food on the dinner plate as if they were possessed.

Li Zhifan walked over at this moment, and asked with a smile on his face, "You two, how is today's dish?"

Matthew looked up and saw Li Zhifan, and immediately gave a thumbs up: "It's delicious! Are you new here?"

"Er, yes! You'll see me often!"

Matthew has a rich expression, his eyebrows twitched, "GOOD, I will eat there often, this time it suits my appetite."

"Then eat slowly!"

Li Zhifan nodded, turned and left.

Back in the back kitchen, Li Zhifan changed his clothes, and Silwo had already brought the last plate left, and couldn't wait to get back to normal.

Li Zhifan still had the same bowl of noodles, although it was a bit cold, it was still delicious.

After the two swept through the remaining clouds, they saw Matthew and Ankos approaching.

The two groups came together but did not speak. After coming up, Matthew spoke first: "Oh, Silvo, are you tasting it too? I suggest you eat more eggplants. This dish is great."

Unkers took up the conversation, saying: "I think fried mushrooms are better than any fried food I have ever eaten."

Talking about Huajian, the two finally looked at each other, but Ankos looked at Matthew proudly. Matthew didn't back down, but he didn't refute either. We have a meeting and we can't be late."

Angkers originally wanted to have a good chat with Silwo after Matthew left, but when he heard about the meeting, he didn't have anything special to say, so he patted Li Zhifan on the shoulder and said, "Okay, the dishes are cooked good."

At this time, Silver thought about introducing them to each other, so he said, "Ankos, this is..."

"I know, I understand!"

Angkers didn't have time to chat anymore, he glanced at his watch and said, "Sylwo, is it two o'clock in the afternoon? I don't want you to be late, I'm leaving first!"

"Hey……"

Seeing the back of Angkes leaving in a hurry, Silwo spread his hands helplessly, and said to Li Zhifan, "They are like this, they often fight. If it weren't for their fight, Gale Studio might have integrated into one of their teams long ago. gone."

"Oh!"

After Li Zhifan heard it, he realized that there was such a thing going on here!

……

Two in the afternoon.

All participants showed up in the meeting room on time.

Silver and Li Zhifan were the last to arrive, but it was not later than two o'clock. It was enough to see that everyone had a strong sense of time.

Seeing Li Zhifan coming in, many people were stunned, especially Matthew and Angkers, who couldn't help wondering, isn't this guy a chef?Why did you come to the meeting?
Could it be sent by the Eastern Group?

Or Silvo's newly hired Chinese-American assistant?
"Everyone!"

Silver clapped his hands and said, "This is Li Zhifan, the new general manager of William Entertainment, come to us today to inspect, and we also have new business that will be launched under Li Zhifan's guidance."

"..."

The people below immediately looked at each other, and some whispered.

Angkos leaned back in his chair, looked at Li Zhifan, his eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something.

Long before today, he had received news from William Entertainment that a new general manager was about to take office, and he was still a star in China.

However, he always felt that a star artist crossing over to serve as the general manager, especially a Chinese, was probably just here to check the accounts, right?As for cooperation, what kind of cooperation can there be?

"Hi everyone! I'm Li!"

Li Zhifan didn't say his name, but simply said his name, "Everyone is a busy person, and time is the most important thing, so I'll make a long story short and briefly explain the purpose of my visit this time."

Silver had already sat down, and motioned for Li Zhifan to sit down and talk.

But Li Zhifan didn't. He still stood and said, "I came to DreamWorks this time to create a feature-length animated film with everyone. This is also the purpose of Dongfang Group's acquisition of DreamWorks. Give full play to everyone's abilities and make more classic works."

After a pause, Li Zhifan said, "Mexican Day of the Dead, does everyone know?"

"I know!"

An employee below raised his hand and said, "According to the Aztec calendar, the names of two consecutive months with 20 days in January are "Children's Day" and "Spiritual Day". Together, it seems A long-term celebration of the dead was formed. In the early sixteenth century, Spain conquered the Aztec Empire and occupied what is now Mexico. For religious and political reasons, they forced the indigenous population to convert to Catholicism. The missionaries introduced Festivals include "All Saints' Day" and "All Souls' Day", which are November 11 and 1 respectively. Indigenous people have integrated their own traditional culture into these two festivals to commemorate the dead. So the Day of the Dead has become A unique blend of these two festivals."

"Yes, this is the official description!"

Li Zhifan said, "To put it simply, the Day of the Dead is the product of the combination of Indian culture and Spanish culture dominated by Indian indigenous culture. I want to know, are there any Mexicans present?"

The people in the circle below shook their heads, but no one raised their hands.

"Well, I'm sorry."

Li Zhifan continued, "On the Day of the Dead in Mexico every year, people pay homage to the dead. This is not a sad festival, but a festival full of colors. They even sing and dance all night long and play music in the cemetery. Dead relatives celebrate the festival together."

"They scattered yellow petals on the way from the cemetery to the village or small town, so that the dead would return along the fragrant path; they lit pumpkin lanterns at the door of the house to guide the dead; they placed offerings on the altar for the dead to enjoy. Men, women and children will wear masks and ghost clothes with bones printed on them, and parade through the streets to signify the return of the dead."

"This time I come here, and I intend to make a music animation feature film with this theme!"

Li Zhifan looked at everyone, and said directly, "Let me ask first, is anyone interested in this subject?"

"I'm interested!"

Matthew raised his hand first, and said with a smile, "Li, I am very interested in your food. I also heard that you are an excellent screenwriter, director, actor, and musician in China. Then you want to do this This animation, do you have a story structure?"

Li Zhifan said with a smile: "I have the script, this time I am here to form a team."

Matthew looked at other people, especially Ankos, no one directly raised their hands, and everyone was hesitant and thinking-a Chinese, want to make an animated feature film about Mexican culture?
Even the script has been written, but are you familiar with Mexican culture?

"My team doesn't have a project right now, I thought we could talk!"

Matthew's sixth sense told him that this might be an opportunity.

The key is that Li Zhifan's attitude makes him very comfortable.

Because William Entertainment can directly force them to make this project, but Li Zhifan didn't, but asked everyone's wishes. This attitude made Matthew feel respected.
