Almighty substitute teacher

Chapter 291 Take a few promotional posters

"No time? What are you doing?"

Fei Qianqian immediately recovered, staring at Yang Zhengdong and asking.

"Go to the competition, I haven't seen a cooking competition yet!"

Yang Zhengdong replied as a matter of course.

He came to Hong Kong Island this time to participate in the competition itself. Although 1000 million is important, is the promise not as important?Those who said that Mr. Yang's character is not good must not understand him.

“See what fun cooking is”

Fei Qianqian could only mutter in a low voice.

"Zhengdong, why don't you go out with Qianqian today? There's nothing very interesting on the first day of the competition. The main thing is the competition in the small hotel. It doesn't matter if you watch it or not!"

Seeing Yang Zhengdong repeatedly refusing, Ma Qianli couldn't help suggesting.

"Let's take a look. After all, I promised you, Uncle Ma, I need to understand the situation of the game before I can respond accordingly. She just wants a few songs, and I will write them for her when I have time!"

Yang Zhengdong directly rejected the proposal.

"Okay, Qianqian, Zhengdong writes songs very quickly, or you should be busy first, and wait for him to finish writing and give it to you."

Ma Qianli turned around and started work with Fei Qianqian.

"It's okay Uncle Ma, I'll just follow him. I even brought my luggage. I'm going to trouble Uncle Ma and Aunt Jiaojiao these days." Fei Qianqian pointed to the big box she brought.

"It's okay, welcome uncle! Welcome!"

What Ma Qianli could say was to express his welcome, and he did not forget to give Yang Zhengdong a look.

"whatever!"

Yang Zhengdong pretended he didn't see it, and casually passed by.

After eating, Ma Qianli prepared the car, and Yang Zhengdong, Chen Jiahui and Fei Qianqian went to the competition place. The competition place was Tianrun, and they could see the hot spots arranged by Tianrun from a long distance away. Noisy.

The bright red colored silk and balloons were decorated very festively. Yang Zhengdong and others followed the guiding staff into the competition field. The previous competitions were all held outdoors. When Yang Zhengdong passed, the first competition had already started.

I saw a row of operation tables set up on a temporary table, and the contestants in white chef uniforms were nervously preparing ingredients. Usually, there was a table, a chef, and an assistant, and they were very busy.

"Jiahui, tell me the rules of this competition!"

Yang Zhengdong found a seat and sat down, and asked Chen Jiahui.

"Okay, teacher. The first few games of this game are group games. There are 20 hotels in each group, and they are generally divided into 6-8 groups. The first game of the group stage is the first one. Each game lasts 30 minutes, and the participating hotels will draw questions to choose what kind of dishes to make. The ingredients will be provided by the organizing committee, and only one team will be promoted in each game.”

Chen Jiahui pointed to the heated competition on the stage and continued: "In the group stage, one of 20 hotels will be selected, and then the 6-8 winning hotels will participate in the semi-finals. Only three hotels will be selected in the semi-finals, and they will compete with Tianrun, Honglou, and Douglas in the finals. The giants hold the finals. Generally, when it comes to the finals, the three companies that directly enter the finals compete, but there are no exceptions. More than ten years ago, there was a restaurant named Moji, which won the championship by virtue of its strength and directly entered Hong Kong Island. Unfortunately, the upper circles in the catering industry did not manage well in the end and were acquired by Tianrun, which was the only counterattack in the past hundred years."

"Then why are these hotels still participating?"

Yang Zhengdong asked curiously, he didn't even hope to compete for the top three, why would he still participate?

"This competition is said to be a big competition in the catering industry, but it is actually a battle for market share. For the top three companies, Tianrun is in the high-end and Douglas mainly occupies the western food market, while Honglou is in the vast mid-end market. The consumer market. These participating hotels want other corner markets. Although they can’t eat meat directly, they still have enough soup. Besides, participating in this competition and entering the top six represents honor and credibility. Therefore, everyone still attaches great importance to this competition.”

Chen Jiahui explained to Yang Zhengdong in detail.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Are the award-winning ones equivalent to being rated as stars?"

Yang Zhengdong joked with a smile.

"It's not the same. The star rating is rated by the star hotel association. Ours is sponsored by the Hong Kong Catering and Hotel Association. This means that the star rating is given to the restaurants of each hotel, but it will not be listed."

Chen Jiahui also replied with a smile.

"Then this is quite interesting. What is Douglas? Why haven't you heard about it before?"

"Douglas is a global restaurant chain in Faguo, mainly engaged in the high-end western food market. Although they are one of the top three, because they operate western food, they don't have much conflict with the Red House, and they always accompany them in the competition. Run, but you can’t stop people from participating, right? Douglas is in Xizhou, and he has some competition with the Red House restaurant.”

"So that's the case, so it's actually Tianrun and Honglou?"

"It can be said that if there are no accidents, the two of us will fight in the end!"

Yang Zhengdong nodded and did not speak, he cast his eyes on the competition stage.

The first round of the competition had already started when they came, and now it is basically coming to an end. Each family has presented the topics they have chosen in the form of dishes, waiting for the judges' comments.

Yang Zhengdong also tasted it as an invited audience during the review period. Relatively speaking, these participating hotels are still of a certain level. The worst ones can be equivalent to the works of senior chefs, and most of them are masterpieces.

This shows that the hotel sent top chefs from each family, among which several dishes were very inspiring to Yang Zhengdong. They even integrated western food processing methods. Although they were still very immature, they were still very eye-catching.

In the end, when the final result came out, naturally only one of the twenty was smiling. The elimination rate was still very high, but this also ensured that the teams participating in the finals were all the best of the best, ensuring the ultimate significance of the competition.

Yang Zhengdong watched with relish all morning. The competition went on for three rounds, and three teams were selected to advance. Under Fei Qianqian's repeated request, Yang Zhengdong reluctantly left the competition site and went straight back to Ma Qianli's home.

After Fei Qianqian got him back, she sat at the door of his room and watched him write songs for a whole afternoon.

Yang Zhengdong didn't pay attention to him, and took a good nap at noon, turned on the computer and copied out a few songs from the previous life, then threw it to her and said that he had no ideas, and he would write when he had ideas tomorrow, so he called the driver to go out for a tour .

It wasn't until dinner at night that he didn't come back unsatisfied. Fei Qianqian hurried up to ask for advice on the song.

Yang Zhengdong dismissed him with a few casual pointers, and then had dinner with Ma Qianli and the others.

"Zhengdong, is it okay to play in the afternoon?"

Lin Yujiao asked with a smile.

"Very good, Hong Kong Island is very prosperous and lively!"

Yang Zhengdong briefly talked about today's tour experience.

"Tomorrow, you can go out to sea on a yacht. After you bought Uncle Ma's yacht, you haven't touched it much. It just so happens that you can go out to play on a yacht!"

Lin Yujiao carefully helped him arrange the itinerary.

"Oh? Uncle Ma still has a yacht?"

Yang Zhengdong became interested. He had seen yachts on TV in his previous life.

"I'm also a rich man. Is it strange to have a yacht? It's parked in the bay below. You can take a look tomorrow. If you like it, I'll give it to you!"

Ma Qianli said with an air.

"Don't! I'm just curious. I don't have a place to put a yacht if you give me it. Mengxi Village is in a ravine and not near the sea. If you give me a life like scrap iron, you should stay here!"

Yang Zhengdong quickly waved his hand and refused.

Ma Qianli's local tyrant style is really enough, and he will give it away every now and then.

A yacht would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars at least. It would be an understatement to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars a month for this thing. He didn't have the spare money to raise an unusable iron lump.

"Isn't there a Mengxi lake? Turn around and stop there!"

Ma Qianli also took the initiative to help him think of a way.

"Pull it down, Uncle Ma, Mengxi Lake is only a little big, and the deepest part of the water is only five or six meters deep. It will be bottomed out after entering. Besides, I plan to use Mengxi Lake to raise fish to sell you!"

Yang Zhengdong said jokingly.

"That's right, what you said about raising fish is full of hype. I haven't seen a single fish until now. You go back and raise the fish quickly. But Wang Hao's pigs are really good. I let them kill them and then airlift them." Come here, the taste of pork is much better than those on the market, I have already told Wang Hao, I will take all the pigs he raises in the future!"

When Ma Qianli talked about raising fish, he thought of the pigs raised in Mengxi Village.

"That's good! Wang Hao doesn't have to worry about the sale of the pigs now!"

Yang Zhengdong naturally didn't have any opinion, it was a win-win situation.

"Speaking of Mengxi Village, it is really a treasure land of geomantic omen. Not only is the scenery beautiful, but also the outstanding people. It is better to grow vegetables and raise pigs than other places. There are also outstanding talents like you in Zhengdong. Did you know that Yahui's album is released today? "

As Ma Qianli spoke, he became emotional.

"It was released today? How is the situation?"

Yang Zhengdong was surprised, and hurriedly asked how his grades were.

"The publicity in the early stage is not enough, but the results are pretty good. Before you came back just now, the national sales data has just been compiled. Yahui's album sold 30 copies on the first day, which has already broken the record for a newcomer! I believe that after a period of word-of-mouth fermentation, this result will be even better, and there is no problem in making a platinum record."

Ma Qianli said with some regret.

"That's not bad, 30 sets a day, almost catching up with my novels!"

Yang Zhengdong comforted with a smile, he is still very satisfied with this result.

"Such a good result is mainly because the channel is better than before. Huaxia Bookstore has given a recommendation this time. Based on our own channel, it is estimated that we may not be able to get [-] sets!"

"That's not bad, the channel is also our advantage!"

Yang Zhengdong thought it was pretty good anyway, what kind of bicycle is needed for such a good result.

"You're quite satisfied, but your album will be almost finished at the end of the month, and this section will also start to be promoted. Will you participate? If you participate, with your face, I think the sales of the album will be much better!"

Ma Qianli thought of him again and asked with a smile.

"Don't participate! Absolutely don't participate! Don't think about me!"

Yang Zhengdong flatly refused.

"Then it's okay to shoot a few promotional posters, right?"

"This is negotiable!"

"That's good, shoot tomorrow!"
