Chef system

Coming out of the shop, he declined Zhang Dakang's invitation to give him a ride, and Yang Chen took Shen Mengting around again.

It could be seen that Shen Mengting was in a very good mood, and she was in high spirits after shopping for a long time. She bought some clothes for her, and Yang Chen bought some new clothes for himself.

After an afternoon of shopping, it cost him 15 yuan, which is equivalent to his current income of half a month.But after all, it was spent on the woman I love, so not only did I not feel unhappy, but I was also extremely happy, and my heart was flattered.

"Do you want me to take you home?" Yang Chen followed behind Shen Mengting with a large bag and asked.

"No need, I'll go back by myself." Shen Mengting said, stopped a taxi, asked Yang Chen to help put the things in the car, and then said: "You still have something to do in the store, go get busy!"

"Well, be careful on the way, call me when you get home." Yang Chen instructed.

"I see." Shen Mengting said, and rushed forward.

Before Yang Chen could react, he felt a scorching red lip imprinted on his cheek, and suddenly, his face became redder than red carbon.

"Meng... Mengting, what are you doing?" Yang Chen was so excited that he couldn't speak.

Shen Mengting got into the carriage with a blushing face, and said in a low voice: "I am very happy today, this is a reward for you."

"Dream……"

"Okay! Stop talking, I'm leaving first." After Shen Mengting finished speaking, she asked the driver to drive quickly.

Yang Chen touched the position where Shen Mengting kissed just now, looked at the direction of the car, and lost his mind for a moment.

"Handsome guy, get out of here." A woman reminded me.

I saw a piece of plastic trash under my feet, Yang Chen quickly picked it up and threw it into the trash can, touched his face, and said with a smirk: "Meng Ting kissed me, she kissed me..."

"Hey, I said master! You have been standing there for more than half an hour, if you want to help, you can help, or go out and sit, please don't block the way here."

Finally, Wang Huan couldn't bear it anymore, and accused him dissatisfiedly.

"Shh!"

Hu Han motioned to Wang Huan to keep his voice down, and said with a mischievous look: "Look at the look of spring on the master's face, it must be a new step forward with his girlfriend, so let's not disturb him."

"Hey, I didn't expect Master to be so pure!" Wang Huan shook his head, concentrating on the pots in front of him.

There are too many guests, and the only ones who can cook are him and Hu Han. Hu Han can only cook some simple dishes, and he has to do it himself for more complicated dishes, so he has to take care of several pots by himself, and he is busy all day long. dizzy.

It took a long time for Yang Chen to come back to his senses, and he helped to cook some dishes. At around four o'clock, Shen Guozhong called and asked him to go to the city hall.So I hurried to the city hall again, and it was almost five o'clock when I arrived.

There were already three people waiting in the office. Except for Shen Guozhong, he didn't know the other two. When he saw Yang Chen, he smiled and nodded to him.

"Yang Chen, I heard that you rated a Michelin three-star restaurant, so it's not in vain for me to put up my old face and invite the Michelin food reviewer here." Shen Guozhong seemed to be in a good mood, and he joked as soon as we met.

Yang Chen hurriedly said: "Mayor Shen, you are still very young, you don't look old!"

"It's better than not being you young people." Shen Guozhong sighed, looking at Yang Chen's young face, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. When he was so old, he had just graduated from school and entered the society. It took many years to climb up to the position of deputy mayor.

"By the way, what's the purpose of your visit this time?" Yang Chen asked strangely, it was still working time, and Shen Guozhong asked him to rush over from the hotel, definitely not to chat with him.

"Didn't I tell you about the food competition last time? Now that the special fund has been approved, I want to discuss it with you." Shen Guozhong said, pointing to the two middle-aged men beside him and said: "These two are They are Deputy Director Liu Fujun Liu of the Municipal Finance Bureau, and Director Xiang Kepinxiang of the Municipal Cultural Bureau."

Yang Chen shook hands one by one, and said pleasantly: "Director Liu, Director Xiang, I will pay my respects to you for a long time!"

Liu Fujun is a slightly fatter middle-aged man with a piece of Mediterranean Sea on his head. He looks very blessed. He said with a smile: "I have admired Boss Yang's name for a long time. When I saw him today, I am really extraordinary. At a young age There is such an achievement, what a hero out of a boy!"

Xiang Kepin was tall and thin, and said after hearing the words: "Yes! I think we didn't know what we were doing when we were so young!"

Yang Chen said with a smile: "You two were joking, it's all just luck that the kid can achieve what he is now."

"Young people have such high achievements, and they can still be neither arrogant nor impetuous. It's not bad." Liu Fujun praised him, then looked at Shen Guozhong, and asked, "Mayor Shen, do you think we can start talking about business?"

"Well, it's getting late, let's settle the matter quickly." Shen Guozhong nodded, took out a document from the table, and said, "This is the document approved by the city about holding a food competition. Take a look What to add. After all, you are a professional chef, and you have a deeper understanding of food, and you must know more than us. Do you have any good suggestions to promote the work of our government!"

Yang Chen took the document and read it carefully.

The city has set the time for the food competition in half a month, and plans to invite chefs from Linjiang Province to participate in the competition. At the same time, chefs and gourmets from the Provincial Food Association will be invited to come and taste.

"Yang Chen, your Chenguang Hotel has just obtained a three-star Michelin hotel. We are going to focus on promoting your brand. With your Chenguang Hotel as the core, we will drive the food industry in Linhai City and strive to build our Linhai City into a The city of food. What do you think?" Shen Guozhong asked.

Yang Chen smiled awkwardly, returned the document, and said, "Mayor Shen, I don't know much about the work in the city. From my personal point of view, we held a food competition to highlight the food in Binhai City. Since it is a city of gourmet food, at least we must have all the eight major cuisines of our country, as well as special snacks from various places. I think the ultimate goal of this food competition should be for all tourists who come to Binhai City , able to enjoy authentic food from all regions of the country.”

Shen Guozhong smiled and said: "We also thought so at the beginning. But after thinking about it, we felt that this idea was a little impossible. There are so many special delicacies and delicious things in the country. If we want to get all of them, it will take a lot of money How much time and money is it? Wasn’t the country on the tip of the tongue broadcast on TV before? So many kinds of delicacies, if we follow this assumption, we not only have to find the delicacies, but also invite these chefs to Binhai City. Do it like this Fa, let alone 200 million, even 2000 million is not enough."

"So the ultimate goal of this food competition is to take this opportunity to create a food street?" Yang Chen asked a little speechlessly, this layout is really too small.

But there is no way, as Shen Guozhong said, there are no chefs and insufficient funds, and it is already the limit to build a nationally famous food street with 200 million yuan.And a large part of it is due to his reputation as the second Michelin three-star restaurant in China.

Shen Guozhong nodded, and said: "Yang Chen, 200 million is already the limit we can take out now. Although the city supports this matter, it is definitely not wise to invest all our financial resources in it before seeing the results. Choose. Of course, if we really make achievements and promote the development of our Binhai City. The 200 million is just an initial investment, and there will definitely be more projects in the future.”

Yang Chen's heart trembled. He knew that Shen Guozhong's food competition was a test for himself. If it was done well, there would naturally be more preferential policies in the future. in trouble.

Now Shen Mengting's mother has made a hindrance, if his father intervenes again, let alone marrying Shen Mengting in a good manner, I'm afraid marriage will be a problem. If the two want to be together, they have to elope.

Fortunately, the city's goal this time is to build a food street with their Chenguang Hotel as the core.His task is very simple, as long as he defeats other chefs in the competition, wins No. 1, spreads his fame, and gets everyone's approval to complete the task.

"Besides the one just now, do you have any other thoughts?" Shen Guozhong asked again.Obviously, he didn't take his proposal just now to heart.

After all, it is an extremely difficult task for any institution to gather all the delicacies in the country.

Seeing Shen Guozhong's indifferent look, Yang Chen thought about it, but finally didn't say anything.He has obtained the inheritance of God of Cooking, and he knows almost all the recipes of food. Even if there is no food recorded in the inheritance, as long as he has a taste and sees how others make it, he can basically make it. Maybe the taste will be the same. better.

But this ability is really too shocking.He is only in his 20s now, and it is already very impressive to be able to make common dishes well. If he can also make those local special snacks, he is not a genius, but a monster. Maybe it will arouse some caring people. Suspect.

Yang Chen still decided to be cautious, not to show off his ability too much.

"However, we can still try to make special delicacies from Binhai City and several surrounding counties and cities." Yang Chen secretly thought.

After a pause, Yang Chen suppressed all kinds of thoughts just now, and said, "I have another question. Since it is to build a gourmet street, there must be chefs. Where are you going to find these chefs?"

Shen Guozhong smiled and said: "It's simple, just gather all the famous mobile snack vendors from all over the city."

Yang Chen frowned, and said: "We have so many snack bars in Binhai City, how can we tell which ones are famous and which ones aren't? Moreover, being famous doesn't necessarily mean it's delicious, and not being famous doesn't mean it doesn't necessarily taste bad. Isn't it? Something is wrong?"

Shen Guozhong thought for a while and asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Yang Chen tried to say: "Why don't you just invite a few professional food critics, let them taste around, see which places have better snacks, and then write it down, and then directly include him in the food street go."

Shen Guozhong nodded slightly, then looked at Liu Fujun and the two, "What do you think?"

Liu Fujun showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, "Deputy Mayor, this method is possible. But it must be very expensive to hire those food critics one by one. We only have 200 million yuan, so we have to save it! Of course, If you think it's useful, I'm absolutely in favor of it, without a doubt."

"Just talk nonsense."

Shen Guozhong shook his head, then looked at Xiang Kepin again.

"It can be done." Xiang Kepin said in a deep voice: "Since we want to develop our Binhai City into a gourmet city, we must get gourmet food. Those unattractive foods are definitely not acceptable. I think Yang Chen's suggestion is very pertinent , worth trying. Of course, you are the leader of this project, so let’s listen to your ideas.”

Shen Guozhong thought about it for a moment, and said: "Yang Chen, your suggestion is very good. How about it, after all, it is a matter for our food industry in Binhai City. I will tell their Chairman Jiang tomorrow and ask them to find a few more senior members. Help me take a walk around the city and taste it everywhere. You can't let their association take the state subsidy and do nothing all year round."

Afterwards, the few people chatted again, and confirmed some things about the food competition. After all, Yang Chen is not a member of the government, so he can only give some suggestions as a chef.

Shen Guozhong also followed good advice, and the initial idea of ​​the food competition was gradually finalized.
