Chapter 572 Chapter 104 Invite Again

Chapter 104

"Which of you is Zheng Ke?" The man was not angry, seeing that no one answered him, he asked again.

"I am. I'm sorry, we met before." Zheng Ke asked suspiciously.

"No, if I've seen you before, how could I not know you." The man admitted very straightforwardly, but his eyes stayed on the boiled cabbage on the operating table.

"Boiled cabbage?" The man looked excited and kept rubbing his hands, even saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"You know this dish?" Zheng Ke was a little surprised.

Although this dish is a famous dish in Sichuan cuisine and is very popular, it is not very common in foreign countries because it is relatively difficult to make.Moreover, because the production process is too cumbersome, if it is not a special occasion, other dishes will be substituted.

"Yes, I have been to China several times and eaten there several times, but every time I can feel the exquisiteness of Chinese cuisine. Can I try this dish?" the man asked curiously.

"Well! But, please tell me how it feels after eating." Zheng Ke pushed the boiled cabbage in front of the man.

The man clasped his hands together, "I'm sorry, I started."

Then I picked up the soup spoon and took a spoonful. The delicate and refreshing soup flowed along the tongue and flowed into the throat. The delicious taste reverberated in the mouth and lasted for a long time.

so delicious...

"Yes... that's the taste. It's tender, smooth, mellow and elegant. It's more down-to-earth than the boiled cabbage I ate in China. This dish should rank in the top ten among the delicacies I've eaten." The man breathed out , drank the boiled cabbage completely into his stomach, but his eyes moved to Zheng Ke's face, and the enthusiasm in his eyes was revealed without any concealment, "It's you."

"Huh?" Zheng Ke was confused, a little confused, "Uncle, who are you?"

"Uncle...uncle?" The man's face was a little ugly, and he immediately took out a small mirror and a comb from his pocket, combed his hair carefully in front of the mirror, and then straightened his tie, "Don't call me uncle, please." Is it? I’m only 30 years old—it makes me feel a little old.”

"Okay, uncle. What's the matter, you talk." Zheng Ke looked at the man seriously.

The man opened his mouth, but finally chose to give up.Uncle is uncle, business is the most important thing.

Thinking of this, the man took out a business card from his pocket, "Actually, we have approached you before, but you refused."

What is it that makes it so mysterious?Have you looked for me?Why am I not impressed?

Zheng Ke took the business card suspiciously, and glanced at the content on the business card——Producer of "Advanced Chef", Kosuke Mizuhara.

If you are an 'advanced chef', you have indeed looked for yourself.But, is this person a producer?
In Zheng Ke's impression, the producer should be a very serious and dignified person. Why does he look like an ordinary foodie now?
"I remember that I seem to have declined." Zheng Ke handed the business card to Kosuke Mizuhara, but Kosuke Mizuhara didn't take it back.

"Of course I know that Araki was only the director at the time, and she didn't have too much power to speak. Give me a quarter of an hour, and I will tell my conditions." Mizuhara Kosuke turned to Hisaga Teruki and said, "This classmate , please leave for a while, okay? I want to talk to Mr. Zheng about cooperation."

Jiuwo Zhaoji blinked his eyes, the depression in his heart was clearly written on his face.

Could it be that he was swept away like this?

"Jiu Wo, I want to hear what uncle wants to say." Zheng Ke nodded slightly to Jiu Wo Zhaoji.

"Oh...then you have to be careful." Jiu Wo Zhaoji wanted to hear the conversation between the two of them, but Zheng Ke had given the order to evict the guest, so even if he wanted to stay, he had no excuses.

Seeing Kuga Teruki leaving the kitchen, Mizuhara Kosuke followed and closed the kitchen door.

"The eyesore is finally gone. Well, now I will introduce myself again. My name is Mizuhara Kosuke. I am the producer of "Advanced Chef". At the same time, I am also a gourmet. "Advanced Chef" is The first and only column I acted as a producer, of course, the reason for it is personal preference."

Zheng Ke nodded. He could already guess some of Mizuhara Kosuke's intentions, but he still didn't know why the other party would find him.

"I heard that Araki wanted to ask you to be a mentor?" Kosuke Mizuhara asked.

"Yes, but I feel..."

"You refused." Kosuke Mizuhara interrupted Zheng Ke, "If I could reduce your worries to a certain extent, would you be willing?"

"What do you mean?" Zheng Ke frowned slightly, looking at Kosuke Mizuhara in puzzlement.

"I can negotiate with the top ten leaders and the school and ask them to hand over the work you are doing." Mizuhara Kosuke explained.

"Hey, uncle, I think that with your financial resources and connections, you can definitely find a better candidate than me. Take Yuanyue Shijie as an example, Senior Si and Senior Sister Xiaolin are definitely more suitable than me." Zheng Ke thought full of doubts.

"Do you think I didn't think of them? You really underestimated me." Mizuhara Kosuke snorted coldly, but his face soon became sad. "Of course I also sent an invitation to Mr. Si. As a result, Mr. Si heard After my invitation, I squatted on the chair and shivered, unable to have a formal conversation. As for Miss Xiaolin, I also looked for it, but I haven't found it yet. I don't know where she is now."

Zheng Ke has black hair, guess where Kobayashi Gendan is hiding, enjoy the food?
"Because of the last live broadcast accident, we have already stopped broadcasting for one episode, and it is impossible to postpone it indefinitely. In such a short period of time, finding a suitable mentor puts a lot of pressure on me. And Chef Shiraishi I recommend you, and I have a good relationship with Chef Shiraishi, so I will come here and invite you personally."

Mizuhara Kosuke straightened his body and looked a little proud, "Originally I still had doubts, but just after eating boiled cabbage, I suddenly felt that Shiraishi Ryuichi's vision was right. You are the person I am looking for, come on , come into us." Mizuhara Kosuke said with great interest.

"Then what is your reward for firing?" Zheng Ke asked.

Hearing Zheng Ke's question about the remuneration, Kosuke Mizuhara guessed that Zheng Ke was a little moved, and immediately said: "The first phase is 700 million yen."

This price is the same as that of Xuan Li and the celebrity chefs he found before, and it is also a considerable income for Zheng Ke.Moreover, although Zheng Ke is one of the top ten talents of Yuanyue, since he has not won any awards in the culinary world, his resume is a bit thin, so it is already very good to be able to give this price.

Zheng Ke pondered for a moment, then asked: "How much is Nakai Kiyomi's salary?"

Kosuke Mizuhara's face was a bit ugly, and after hesitating for more than ten seconds, he still said it: "This is a commercial secret, but if you ask, I will still tell you——1000 million yen."

"so tall?"

"The prices of these popular celebrity chefs are so high." Mizuhara Kosuke sighed.

It seems that Mizuhara Kosuke is not willing to pay such a high salary.

Zheng Ke weighed a little on both sides, and finally rejected Mizuhara Kosuke. He is not short of money now, and he doesn't want to see Nakai Kiyomi.

"I'm sorry, although I really want to cooperate with you, but personally, I still have a lot of things to do - I have to sort out some recipes used in restaurants, school courses, and prepare for the-blue competition. And , with your connections, it's impossible to find a suitable chef, right?"

"The problem is, in such a short period of time, I really can't find a suitable chef." Mizuhara Kosuke sighed.

"Yes, your conditions are indeed a bit harsh. I think... if you remove the food appreciation group, this problem can be solved, right?" Zheng Ke expressed his opinions when discussing with Asami two days ago.

"That won't work, that's the highlight of this column - if there is no food appreciation group, it is equivalent to no interaction between ordinary food lovers and famous chefs."

"Then let the evaluation of the food appreciation group members benefit the judges, at least not embarrass the judges." Zheng Ke explained patiently.

Zheng Ke knew that Nakai Kiyomi disagreed, but whether Nakai was happy or not, what did it matter to him?
