Dare to cook

Chapter 299 Arriving in Amalfi
Meng Xiao already knew the intention of the program group.

When Feng Ziyi suggested that he be the store manager, Meng Xiao quickly shied away:
"I can't do it. I'm not good at cooking, and I don't have any experience in restaurant management. In my opinion, Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu should choose the store manager."

Jiang Yuqi also said:
"I agree. Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu are both tops in the jade food list, and they even defeated outstanding chefs from various countries to win the championship in the famous contest."

"If you are the store manager, the business of our Chinese restaurant will be very good!"

Jiang Yuqi was right when she said this.

From a business point of view, it is definitely the best to let Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu be the store managers.

But the thing is, it's a reality show.

In order to create something to watch, the program group will inevitably do things.

Anyone who becomes the store manager may be caught in the whirlpool of contradictions.

Even if there are no conflicts among the guest members, and there are no conflicts during the filming process, when the later ghosts of the program group get the film and start editing, there will be conflicts when there are no conflicts.

When the show is broadcast, people who are in the vortex of contradictions will be slammed by fans of other guests, or the trolls hired by the show itself.

Yao Yu didn't understand the pitfalls that need attention in these reality shows and slow variety shows.

But Li Xungui was worried that Yao Yu would suffer, so he gave him a lot of popular science cases, and also warned Yao Yu that even if he couldn't avoid being the store manager, he should try his best to show his closeness to the people.

After all, Hua Restaurant's turnover is secondary, and a good relationship with other partners is the main thing.

Only in this way can we avoid being discredited after the program is broadcast.

Therefore, Yao Yu immediately said after hearing this:
"You can leave the things in the back kitchen to me. The main thing to be a store manager is to communicate with customers."

"Brother Meng is mature and stable, and Miss Jiang is sweet and friendly. I think you are the right candidates."

"Miss Jiang?" Jiang Yuqi giggled when she heard this address:
"My friends call me Xiao Qi, Yao Yu, you should call me that in the future."

"Actually, I kind of want to try being a store manager, but my English is not very good, and I don't know Italian either."

"I think it's more suitable for you to be the store manager."

At this time, Feng Ziyi also said:
"Or, let Lu Chenyu be the store manager. I heard that you have studied in Europe before and know a lot about French and Italian cuisine."

"With you as the store manager, we will definitely be able to make Chinese dishes that local residents like."

"Yes, I agree with Ziyi's words," Jiang Yuqi said.

Meng Xiao also laughed and said, "I second the proposal."

After hearing this, Lu Chenyu and Yao Yu looked at each other.

The candidate for the store manager is basically appointed.Either Yao Yu or Lu Chenyu.

In fact, the best candidate is Lu Chenyu.

Because Yao Yu was also reluctant to let Lu Chenyu stay in the back kitchen and suffer from the smoke.

In contrast, being a store manager is always much easier than being a chef.

But even so, Lu Chenyu just said:

"Since everyone says so, I'll give it a try."

"I suggest that when we stabilize in Italy, everyone will come to be the store manager once, and then choose the most suitable candidate."

The candidate for the store manager has been preliminarily determined, and the recording of today's pilot film has come to an end.

Several nearby cameramen who were in charge of filming all turned off their equipment.

On-site director Wang Haiyuan came over and praised: "Very good, the tacit understanding of everyone getting along with each other is great, everyone has worked hard!"

After the filming ended, the main creators of the program group and several main guests sat down and began to enjoy a big meal.

The selection of the store manager was arranged by a script, but the dishes prepared by Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu were genuine.

When filming before, Wang Haiyuan and several directors and creators were already salivating.

At this moment, they could finally sit down and taste the delicacies of famous chefs, and a group of people kept praising Yao Yu and Lu Chenyu's superb cooking skills.

……

After lunch, a group of people from the program group headed to the international airport, preparing to charter a flight to Italy.

After arriving at the airport, other members of the program team were gathered together, and a group of people prepared to board the plane.

Since it was going to Europe for long-term filming, in order to save money, the program team selected only a dozen or so staff members.

In addition to the staff, both Feng Ziyi and Meng Xiao also brought an assistant of their own.

In addition to her personal assistant, Jiang Yuqi also brought her own makeup artist and the female bodyguard assigned to her by the company.

The program group will not reimburse the expenses of these assistants and bodyguards.

It's normal for Feng Ziyi and the others to bring assistants into the group.

After all, if you are in the entertainment industry, no matter where you go, you have to have your own confidants by your side to be at ease.

Although Yao Yu didn't mix in the entertainment industry, but this time, he also brought a cute little assistant by his side.

This little assistant is none other than Yao Chan.

Yao Chan's college entrance examination is over, and there is nothing wrong with staying in China. Yao Yu has long thought about taking this opportunity to take her to Europe for a while.

Passports, visas, etc. have all been processed as soon as possible.

After the gathering of personnel, the charter plane took off.

It takes at least thirteen hours to fly from Shanghai to Italy.

There are no direct domestic flights to Naples.

If it is a personal travel trip, basically you have to fly to Milan or Rome first, and then transfer to Naples.

Yao Yu and the others chartered a direct flight, which saved a lot of trouble.

Speechless all the way.

When the plane landed at Naples Airport, it happened to be five o'clock in the morning local time.

A group of people from the program group got off the plane, took their luggage, and headed to Amalfi in a pre-rented vehicle.

From Naples to Amalfi, you have to pass through Torre del and Pompeii, and you have to pass through a relatively steep mountain. The whole journey takes more than four hours.

Although Naples and Amalfi are not far in a straight line.

However, Italy's domestic road network is not as developed as China's, especially in some mountainous areas where the road conditions are worse.

This is a journey that will be difficult.

The members of the program team did not have time to stay in Naples.

Everyone got into the car, bought some coffee, milk and croissants for breakfast near the airport, and went directly to their destination.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when a group of people drove to Amalfi.

Amalfi is a small town nestled among rugged mountains.

The whole town is located between steep mountains, facing the blue sea of ​​Salerno.

The summer in this place is not hot, the sea breeze is soft, and it has always been a good resort.

However, Yao Yu and others, who had traveled for nearly [-] hours in a row, did not have the extra energy to appreciate the exotic scenery in front of them at this moment.

The members of the program team first went to check in at the hotel they booked.

To the west of the hotel, on the hillside just one street away, there is a B&B apartment named Torredi.

That's where Yao Yu and others will live for the next month.

However, the recording of the show has not yet started, Yao Yu and the others have to rest at the hotel for a day to recover from the jet lag.

And the program team also needs to use the rest of the day to check the layout of the hotel and restaurant.

After confirming that all the arrangements are ok, Hua Restaurant will enter the recording rhythm.
