Stop pretending, I am the God of Cooking and I am showing off my cards!

Revealing the Michelin ratings scandal?

Lin Xu looked at the notification on his phone that praised the chef with three Michelin stars.

While the TV station was vigorously advertising and promoting, my sister-in-law suddenly went to expose the scandal of Michelin ratings. Didn't this directly poke into those people's lungs?

And what she said was an authority in the circle.

What is authority? He must be a big shot in the catering industry.

Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Yan and asked:

"Is it the Chinese Culinary Association?"

"Yes, it's one of our own, so it's great to show your face. In addition to the Culinary Association, there are also National Tourism Association, National Hotel Association, China Travel Service, Beijing Tourism, China Youth Travel Service and other units participating..."

Good guy, this is a big battle!

Shen Jiayue asked curiously:

"Have you been doing this secretly lately?"

"Well, I hate those Michelin ratings. None of the Chinese restaurants they rated are delicious, and the prices are too expensive, so I took this opportunity to reveal the inside story of the ratings."

Lin Xu was worried that something would go wrong when he confronted the TV station like this before. After all, they are a state unit.

But now that magic is used to attack magic, it's okay.

However, the TV station really knows how to join in the fun. Now it is promoting Michelin and other things in a big way. It is really stretching its neck to let my sister-in-law slap it in the face.

Lin Xu asked curiously:

“What’s the scandal about Michelin ratings?”

Chen Yan took a bite of the chicken wings she grabbed:

"You can spend money to get ratings. As long as you spend two million, you can get one Michelin star. And according to insiders, half of the domestic Michelin restaurants spend money. As for the recognition of Michelin chefs, it is even simpler. You only need to spend You can get certified by paying for their training courses... I suspect that the chef hired by the TV station is a three-star chef who paid for it."

Gee, is there such a thing?

If it breaks out, it can really be beaten.

Chen Yan gnawed the chicken wings clean, looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"By the way, Lin Ji seems to be eligible for the Black Pearl Restaurant rating next year. Will you sign up then?"

Lin Xu immediately shook his head:

"After you expose the scandal tomorrow, I will ask Sister Jing to issue a statement. Linji Food will not participate in any evaluation. The right to evaluate will be given to customers, not an organization."

The tire seller at Michelin doesn't understand Chinese food enough. There is also a copycat version of the Black Pearl rating in China, and it is completely unprofessional.

When evaluating dishes, it all depends on the presentation. If the presentation is in line with Michelin, you will get a high score, and if the presentation is mediocre, you will get a bad review.

This is an insult to Chinese food.

In fact, when it comes to plate presentation, Chinese food is the strong point. For example, high-end Huaiyang cuisine and Shandong cuisine can be arranged into poems and paintings, reaching the realm of art.

Western food is really lacking in this aspect, but those rating organizations do not refer to the art of presentation of Chinese food, and just follow the Michelin style.

Isn't this a typical case of neglecting the basics and pursuing the last?

Shen Jiayue pulled off a piece of chicken wing and took a bite, looked at Lin Xu and asked:

"What if they deliberately blackmail us?"

"It's too simple. Let's go back to Senior Brother and the others and go to the Black Pearl Restaurant one by one to find fault. If the language is sharper, Black Pearl's authority will be destroyed in less than two months."

We promise not to use Senior Brother and Lao Dai first, but if you persist in your stubbornness, these two fearless masters will definitely give you some trouble.

This type of rating organization was originally a sedan chair carried by everyone, so it seemed to have some authority.

But if being chased and criticized by a few state banquet chefs leads to a decrease in the number of customers in a certified restaurant, what authority does this have?

Restaurants go to great lengths to rate themselves in order to attract customers. If they can't attract customers, it may even have the opposite effect. Then what's the point of rating them?

Once a restaurant takes the initiative to reach for stars, a chain reaction will naturally follow.

When the time comes, black pearls and white pearls will no longer work.

Shen Guofu said with a smile:

“Michelin was fine in the beginning, but in recent years its ratings have become increasingly unprofessional, and they prefer to listen to stories when rating, but high-end Chinese food is the most disdainful of telling stories, so it’s hard to get points... unlike Japan. Ingredients, hyped-up sushi gods, rice-cooking gods, etc., foreigners just follow this."

"Ha, Dad, remember to call me the Air Fryer God and the God of Small Home Appliances from now on. I'm pretty good at this too."

Ren Jie pinched a piece of French fries and put it into his mouth:

"If Lin Xu were in the Japanese food circle, maybe he would be called the Noodle God by now. I feel like the Japanese food circle likes to do this kind of gimmick the most. The god of ramen, the god of tofu, the god of rice balls, the god of tuna. God, God of Toast, etc., all have similar titles.”

Everyone talked and laughed, and after eating, they dispersed.

The next day, after sending Chen Meijuan away, Lin Xu continued to work in the store.

At 5 p.m., the video was officially launched.

Lin Xu directly taught three ways to make foie gras in the video, which made netizens excited:

"Damn it, I thought foie gras was so fancy, but it turns out it's so simple."

"I didn't expect it. I just wanted to think about it for a long time. I didn't expect that I could do it directly."

"After searching, I found that foie gras is very cheap online. I plan to learn how to make foie gras and taste the delicious food that foreigners think."

"Boss Lin announced the foie gras recipe so straightforwardly. I wonder if he will offend those Western restaurants that are trying to make things more mysterious."

"With Boss Lin's reputation, it shouldn't be a big deal if he offends him, right?"

"I have an idea to ask Chef Xie to visit a wave of stores and make that store popular again."

"..."

Netizens were discussing it in a flurry of discussions.

I want to try both methods of foie gras with and without breading, but as for the third method of grilling, I am a bit intimidated.

After all, the video repeatedly emphasizes that non-professionals should not try it rashly, as it may cause burns.

Non-professionals know how much they weigh, and they just watch the fun and won't be stupid enough to try it.

But the TV station has professionals. Since last night, it has been overwhelmingly publicizing that it is not only a Michelin three-star chef, but also a chef who cooks foie gras.

Netizens all clicked on the official account of Shiweirenjian to see how the foie gras is cooked here.

Before cooking, Boss Lin repeatedly emphasized that he was not good at cooking Western food, so he just gave it a simple try. He hoped that the Western chef would give it a pat on the back if he was not professional.

It stands to reason that the chef's skills with three Michelin stars should be higher than Lin Xu's.

Clicking on the video, Min Zhengnan emphasized at the beginning that Western food is difficult and different from home-cooked food, and called on viewers not to try it at home.

Netizens are all black with question mark faces.

Boss Lin made it clear that foie gras is a home-cooked dish and the preparation is very simple.

You came up and said you couldn't try it rashly at home.

Is there any great secret here?

Everyone patiently looked at it and found that it was similar to Lin Xu's method of making pan-fried foie gras. The only difference was that there were some inexplicable rituals.

For example, after crushing the pepper, pinch it a little with your fingers and sprinkle it on the foie gras.

For salt, you have to raise your hand high and throw it on the foie gras like the salt spreader.

These messy steps made netizens confused.

WTF?

What the hell is this age, and we still use Brother Sayan’s rituals to make things mysterious? Can’t we have some new ideas?

And they keep saying that it is a high-end dish that cannot be made at home, but from beginning to end, I didn't find it very difficult. The technique is not even as skillful as Boss Lin.

The previous step of frying foie gras left everyone speechless, but at least it was still a delicious way to watch.

But later, Chef Min directly said that there is a very high-end grilling method, which is extremely difficult to make and is his teacher's unique skill.

Netizens:? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Did your teacher open a restaurant called Linji Food?

Boss Lin, who is "not very good at it", just effortlessly performed the technique of searing foie gras, and the dish he made is worth trying even through the screen.

What a shame, under the guise of being a three-star Michelin chef, you can’t even sear foie gras.

If there weren't Lin Xu's video, Min Zhengnan's video wouldn't be a problem, and it would even be more in line with the public's perception of Western food, thinking it was some high-end dish.

But after watching Lin Xu’s video and watching this one, I felt it was really baffling.

It’s just foie gras, but it can’t be made at home. Does it require professionals to do it?

Can it be resurrected or explode?

With such dissatisfaction, everyone can really see clearly how qualified Western chefs are.

"This chef is so unprofessional. I'm better than him even in the kitchen."

"Me too. After all, I'm not as professional as Boss Lin."

"I had very high expectations before watching. Who knows, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. How do you judge a Samsung chef with this level? Are you threatening with a Samsung note7?"

The comment area was full of doubts. A few people who originally spoke for Min Zhengnan fell silent after watching the video of Lin Xu making foie gras.

On one side is a three-star chef who has returned from China with a reputation, and on the other side is a Chinese chef who is not good at Western food.

But the result of this remote competition was that the Samsung chef was beaten.

Even talking about the game was a bit embarrassing for Boss Lin, because he showed the kind of leisurely state, obviously not using his full strength.

Over at the TV station, several leaders looked at the comments that kept pouring out of the comment area, and by the way watched the video of Lin Xu making foie gras, and even had the urge to delete the video.

What does it mean that there is no harm without comparison? That’s it!

But this is not over yet.

While netizens were discussing how Chinese chefs beat Michelin three-star chefs, the platform suddenly added a push message with a title that made people want to laugh:

"You can get three Michelin stars by spending money? Exposing the internal tricks of Michelin ratings. Please be careful not to be deceived!"

After clicking on it, it was a video that was nearly twenty minutes long.

The video begins with a group of flash shots of Michelin restaurants, basically all of which are familiar brands.

Next to him, he slowly talked about the origin and rating standards of Michelin, as well as the value represented by one star, two stars and three stars. After completing the popular science, it turned to the internal interview about spending money to buy stars.

An interview with an insider with his back to the camera exposed the inside story of Michelin stars.

Not only that, the insider also revealed the charges of some restaurants he handled, and even exposed the transfer records of some restaurant owners.

In addition to the evidence, there are also interviews with big players in the Chinese food industry.

For example, the chairman of the Chinese Cuisine Association, Liu Zhengyu of the National Tourism Association, and the management of major tourism groups all accepted interviews and denounced the chaotic rating behavior of the catering industry.

Geng Lishan also said in the video that using Western food standards to evaluate Chinese food is a blasphemy against Chinese culinary culture.

Moreover, Chinese food does not need to be evaluated, and it does not need to be divided into three, six or nine grades. You can just consume it according to your own consumption level. If you rate it like this, you will only fall into the trap of consumerism.

After watching the video, Lin Xuchong asked Chen Yan:

"This film cost a lot of money, right?"

Chen Yan shook her head:

"Except for the insider who spent money, the other interviews were all done on a friendly basis. President Liu Zhengyu helped save the money for the tour, and several senior chefs from Beijing helped contact the cooking association."

Zeng Xiaoqi took a sip of yam juice:

"The TV station has just praised a chef with three Michelin stars, and we have revealed the inside of this Michelin star. It is really possible that Shiweirenjian will be suspended... A good program has been crippled like this."

She felt a little sorry.

But it’s normal to think about it. “Bite of the Tongue” has also stopped airing.

Once this kind of program is participated by leaders, laymen take charge of insiders, and even people with interests participate in it, this situation will eventually result.

Therefore, the sharp-tongued Director Chen chose to resign, and he also jumped out of the system.

Chen Yan smiled and said:

"There shouldn't be many people going to your house to propose marriage during the Chinese New Year this year."

Zeng Xiaoqi nodded:

"Indeed, I had a job at Yanjing TV Station in the past. It was within the system, so there were many marriage proposals. Now that I have resigned and lost my iron job, the market value of blind dates has plummeted..."

But it's also a good place to hide.

I will work hard for a few more years to get a small house in the capital. When the time comes, my parents can come to the capital if they want. Since I am not going back to my hometown anymore, they can say whatever they like.

Shu Yun pinched Zeng Xiaoqi's face:

"Why are you so pessimistic? Why don't you go down and pay homage to Dundun and ask our God of Wealth to promise you a marriage. If it works out, you might be able to get married today."

Zeng Xiaoqi drank the yam juice in an unladylike manner:

"Shit, if Dundun was really effective, you, the godmother, would have been single a long time ago. Why are you pitifully begging us to watch a movie with you?"

Shu Yun: "..."

I comfort you with good intentions, but you raise your hand and stab me, right?

What a plastic sisterhood!

Shen Jiayue was tired of watching the drama of the fat reduction team falling in love and killing each other. She turned her face and asked Lin Xu:

"My parents are not here tonight, should we make some new snacks to try?"

Lin Xu smiled bitterly:

"Didn't you just have dinner?"

Shen Jiayue is used to four meals a day:

"But how can anyone have dinner after four o'clock in the afternoon? No matter, I want to eat at night, you want me to starve, and I will increase the price of the bride price on the wedding day!"

There was a wedding coming up, so Shen Baobao searched a lot of wedding videos on the Internet.

As a result, after watching the video, I saw many brides sitting in the wedding car and asking for more bride price. After watching the video, everyone felt bad.

She felt sympathy for the embarrassed expression on the groom's face, and also felt sad for the woman's behavior of treating herself as a commodity.

The couple has been so divided since the day of their wedding. Will the future be easy?

Shen Jiayue felt heartbroken when she thought that her Xu Bao might go back to her hometown to find someone to marry, and that she might even encounter a situation where the bride would ask for a higher price as a gift on the wedding day.

Fortunately, we are together so that Xu Bao won't have to worry about such things.

If he hadn't opened a restaurant and stayed in the capital, he might have been like the groom in the video.

Wearing an ill-fitting suit with an embarrassment on his face, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were standing by, wiping away tears while begging relatives for money...

Lin Xu looked at the girl dotingly and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll make you food tonight. What do you want to eat?"

This question really stopped Shen Jiayue. She thought about it seriously and asked tentatively:

"I want to eat fried skewers, the kind you used to get at the entrance to elementary school, fried mushrooms, fried potatoes, fried gluten, fried yuba... Shall we eat this tonight?"

"Okay... Qi Siming will come over to me later to shoot a video. After we finish filming, we will go home and make fried skewers."

Lin Xu agreed and then looked at the clock on the wall.

We made an appointment to shoot a video at 5:30 p.m. Why hasn’t Qi Siming come over yet?

He wanted to call and ask, but he thought there were still about ten minutes, so he should wait first. The roads in the capital were so congested, and it was getting dark at a little after five o'clock. It was normal to delay for a while.

After all, this is Yanjing, so it would be strange if there is no traffic jam.

When she heard that her cousin wanted to eat fried skewers, Chen Yan sneered:

"Are you trying to gain weight? You keep picking out the fat ones to eat."

"It's up to you to take care of it! Don't eat it if you can!"

Chen Yan opened her mouth, wanting to have the guts to stop without saying a word, but thinking about the fact that she hadn't eaten fried skewers for many years, and that she slapped the TV station in the face today and didn't celebrate yet, she said:

"I'm not going there to eat. Ren Jie has to stay up all night tonight. He has to change his shift for the day of the engagement... I'm just going to your house to sleep in the guest room for one night. The heating in my house is not very warm."

"Yan Bao, when you look at him, his expression is really cute. He doesn't look like Bensi at all."

Chen Yan: "!!!!!!"

Blacklist!

After eating the fried skewers, I'll turn it off and see you in the bottle later.

Shen Jiayue laughed happily and said to Zeng Xiaoqi:

"Sister Xiaoqi, let's go too. It will be lively if there are many people eating fried skewers."

"Let's wait until the evening. I have to go back to the company first and prepare the shooting plan for next week. I have to work for a capitalist, so I have to prepare all aspects in advance to avoid being underestimated by the boss."

She chatted for a while longer, then put on her bag, put on a woolen hat, and strode downstairs in over-the-knee boots, ready to stroll to the company and treat it as a meal.

It was now slightly dark, and walking on the road, watching the people coming and going, and the cold wind blowing, made people feel homesick.

Arrive at the intersection of Yingchun Street.

The wind blowing from the direction of the North Fourth Ring Road made Zeng Xiaoqi shrink back.

Only then did she realize that she had forgotten her scarf.

Just as she turned to go back, a motorcycle approaching at a high speed was unable to dodge and hit her body.

Zeng Xiaoqi screamed and fell to the ground, and the motorcycle and rider also fell to the side.

"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry...Are you injured? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

The helmeted motorcyclist got up from the ground, ignoring his bruised arms and legs, and limped to Zeng Xiaoqi's side. He asked as he took off the newly purchased Venom helmet on his head.

Zeng Xiaoqi got up from the ground with difficulty. She was about to say you are blind, but then she realized that this person was Qi Siming.

And Qi Siming also recognized her:

"Director Zeng, why are you here? Let me take you to the hospital for a check-up?"

Zeng Xiaoqi dusted herself off:

"No, I'm fine, I just fell down...Are you here to see Boss Lin to shoot a video? He just asked you why you didn't go..."

While the two were chatting, Dundun in the store turned over leisurely on the service desk, hiding his merit and fame!
