Food starts with noodles

Yu Keke liked this kind of cute creature very much, and took out her phone to take two selfies.

Xu Zhuo coughed twice: "I thought you could drive a Mercedes-Benz or a BMW."

Guo Shanshan looked helpless: "I want to drive it too, but my grandfather won't let me buy it. He said that one should keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious, so he bought me this Swift..."

Xu Zhuo looked at this red and green car and the extremely modified model, and couldn't see any low-key at all.

"How much did you spend on this car modification?"

Guo Shanshan unlocked it with the key, opened the car door and said, "Hundreds of thousands, I forgot the details, anyway, the whole car has been changed inside and out, let's go, I'll take you to the pigsty bar to have a look." .”

After speaking, she sat in the driver's seat and started the car.

Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke were sitting in the back of the car. As soon as they were seated, the car roared and rushed forward along the small road outside the village. Some are not used to it.

The low-key of the rich is really different.

In the next two days, Guo Shanshan took the two of them to visit one ancient village after another.

Those old villages that have not been corrupted by commercialization are not only quiet, but also so beautiful that it is suspected to be fake.

The rice fields outside the village, the white geese in the water, and the centuries-old houses in the village gave Xu Zhuo a deeper understanding of Huizhou and a little more understanding of Huizhou cuisine.

Two days later, Xu Zhuo and Yu Keke arrived in Jixi County in Guo Shanshan's car.

Before arriving at the county seat, I saw a billboard erected on the side of the road.

Seeing the photos of Guo Shuying and other older Anhui cuisine masters and the slogan of the Anhui cuisine competition, Xu Zhuo was a little surprised.

He originally thought that this kind of Anhui cuisine competition was just to find a venue where a group of people would get together for business bragging, and finally it would become a sponsor's exhibition.

I didn't expect the Anhui Cuisine Competition to be the same as a star's concert.

It seems that there are very detailed rules.

Xu Zhuo looked at Guo Shuying, who was standing firmly in the C position on the poster, and asked Guo Shanshan curiously: "Has your grandfather ever been bored with taking this kind of photos every year and participating in the Anhui cuisine competition?"

Guo Shanshan, who was driving, shook her head: "That's not true, because this is my grandfather's responsibility. Huizhou people always like to develop in groups. As the leader of Anhui cuisine, he must contribute to Anhui cuisine."

As she said that, she told Xu Zhuo again how much Guo Shuying attached importance to the Anhui Cuisine Competition.

Almost from the first competition, Guo Shuying has been seriously participating, and after each competition, he will give lectures to discuss the tradition and innovation of Anhui cuisine with everyone, and strive to let Anhui cuisine continue to be passed down.

For this matter, he didn't even care about going home.

The family business was lost to Guo Shanshan's father early on.

Xu Zhuo felt that the old men he knew were quite interesting.

For the sake of the Dai family, Dai Zhenting can't rest for a moment, even his own birthday party has to be done by himself.

His biggest expectation is to let go of everything as soon as possible and spend his old age in peace, but he is not at ease if he is really asked to let go of everything and go to the old age regardless.

Guo Shuying, on the other hand, is the complete opposite. He doesn't care much about his family, but only cares about how to pass on Anhui cuisine, and he also strives for excellence in research methods.

These two old men are really...

They are opposite numbers.

"Shanshan, did the Anhui cuisine competition invite chefs from other cuisines? Did the Anhui cuisine chefs close the door and play by themselves?"

Chapter 674 The Dilemma of Anhui Cuisine?

"My grandfather said that the fame of Anhui cuisine is not important, what is important is the inheritance of Anhui cuisine. What he wants to do is to pass on Anhui cuisine, so...he never invites other chefs to participate in every competition."

Probably used to being low-key, so in this regard, Guo Shuying also chose to be low-key.

but……

From the perspective of cuisine development, it is wrong to do so.

Because if you keep a low profile, outsiders don't know it at all. If you don't have an audience, what good is your cooking skills?

However, this is not to blame for Guo Shuying, mainly because Huizhou people have been deeply influenced by the Confucian doctrine of the mean since ancient times.

For example, these ancient buildings in Huizhou pay attention to making money in the dark.

An inconspicuous small door, it is dark and cramped to enter, but when you walk in, there are twists and turns, and all the pavilions and buildings are striving for perfection.

Even a poor family can build a patio, which looks like a hole in the sky.

In the old buildings, one can feel the modest and low-key tradition of Huizhou people everywhere.

And Huizhou people do business with this kind of thinking.

They pay attention to benevolence and righteousness in business, and regard peace as the most important thing.

Even competitors do not take advantage of the victory to pursue.

Moreover, although they are in business, they advocate and encourage reading, which is in stark contrast to Shanxi merchants who do not advocate reading and show no mercy to their competitors.

In the early Qing Dynasty, Huizhou merchants spread all over the country, and many daily necessities were managed by them.

But because of its low-key nature, when people discuss Huizhou merchants, they can only think of Hu Xueyan, a red-capped businessman.

Shanxi merchants are different.

Shanxi merchants are more high-profile, and they really treat the mall as a battlefield.

In order to defeat their opponents, they will do everything possible.

However, Shanxi merchants have the biggest shortcoming, which is the small-scale peasant thinking in their bones.

After earning money, they transported it back to Shanxi, bought land to build a house, and built tall and large yards, and then passed on their business experience to future generations, so that future generations could do the same.

So there are many large courtyards in Shanxi.

What Qiao's family home, Wang's courtyard, and Cao's courtyard were built in this way.

Although Shanxi merchants are powerful, they can't promote the prosperity and development of commerce, and even have a counterproductive effect, because they don't spend any money they earn in other places, which affects the circulation of currency and makes commerce wither.

So in the late Qing Dynasty, Shanxi merchants gradually withdrew from the stage.

It has been passed down to the present, and there are only large courtyards that have been converted into scenic spots.

"Handsome guy, how do you think Anhui cuisine can develop? Is it more hard work in the presentation, or more innovation in the method?"

Guo Shanshan's question made Xu Zhuo a little strange.

"Why did you suddenly ask this question?"

Guo Shanshan slowed down the car and said worriedly: "Every time I go home, my grandpa will ask me this question, let me think about the future of Anhui cuisine... I don't know this. You are not a chef, help me help."

Xu Zhuo sighed, the crux of Anhui cuisine is not in the presentation, let alone in the cooking.

It is the low-key and moderate thinking of Huizhou people.

But if Anhui cuisine takes a high-profile route, it loses the charm of Anhui cuisine.

So, it's hard.

At least for now, Xu Zhuo can't answer this question.

"This one……"

Just as Xu Zhuo was about to say some clichés to cover up the matter, the system suddenly picked it out to give him a sense of presence.

"Ding! Found a new random mission, please click on the mission panel for details."

Dog day!

When it's time to come out, I don't say a word, but when I shouldn't come out, I keep jumping out to show my presence.

Xu Zhuo was really speechless about this dog system.

He didn't need to think about it to know that it must be related to the development of Anhui cuisine.

This matter has nothing to do with my Xu Shuai.

The dog system is really nosy.

"Let me think about this..."

Although he slandered the system in his heart, on the surface, Boss Xu was smiling.

After entering the system, Xu Zhuo began to check the random task he just got.

Random task: Dilemma of Anhui cuisine.

Task details: Please tell Guo Shanshan the crux of Anhui cuisine and what needs to be changed based on your own understanding.

Task rewards and punishments: If the task is successful, the host will get the professional skill of cooking—slaughtering the soft-shelled turtle; if the task fails, there will be no penalty.

Task time limit: 30 minutes.

Task reminder: Be sure to have something to say, not to talk about it in general.

After reading it, Xu Zhuo was a little dazed.

I don't understand a few words, but I actually make a random task for it.

You must know that the random missions are all larger than the side missions. This random mission makes it look like a traitor has been mixed in.

In addition, he was also convinced by the ability to kill turtles.

Is it...

Does this have something to do with what's next?

However, this skill is very practical, because soft-shelled turtles are used in the eight major cuisines, and many other local cuisines use soft-shelled turtles, and even the skirt of soft-shelled turtles is one of the eight treasures.

And after Xu Zhuo came into contact with high-end dishes, Bazhen was an ingredient that he absolutely couldn't avoid.

So no matter from which angle you look at it, you have to answer Guo Shanshan's question well, and get the skills of killing soft-shelled turtles.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhuo put away his thoughts and began to think about how to solve the dilemma of Anhui cuisine.

After all, there are only three and ten minutes, which is not very plentiful.

In theory, it is very simple to promote the cuisine. If there are more people who eat it, it will naturally flourish.

For example, Cantonese cuisine is not only eaten by people in Guangdong and Guangxi, but also by people in Southeast Asia. Even in Europe and the United States, Cantonese cuisine still has a high audience.

With so many people eating it, Cantonese cuisine will naturally become more refined and taste better.

However, Anhui does not have the economic size of Guangdong, nor does it have so many migrant workers. It is definitely not possible to directly apply Guangdong's method.

If you want more people to eat Anhui cuisine, you have to change your thinking.

such as……

Hug the tourist's thigh.

There are ancient villages in southern Anhui that people all over the country yearn for, and many people even regard this place as poetry and a distant place.

In this case, let's add fire to poetry and distance to attract more people.

There are too many people, so we must eat.

And Xu Zhuo believes that there are only a few people who bring instant noodles when traveling.

Most people are still willing to taste the local delicacies.

This……

It is the boost to the development of Anhui cuisine and the opportunity for the rise of Anhui cuisine.

"You mean, tie it up with the tourism industry? In this case, will it cause high-priced meals and defraud customers? I don't want us to have high-priced meals that are scolded by netizens."

After listening to Xu Zhuo's explanation, Guo Shanshan felt enlightened, but she still had doubts in her heart.

After all, the sky-high price of prawns in a certain place, and the sky-high price of seafood in Hainan, the meals of these popular tourist destinations have already become the object of everyone's resentment.

Although he also became famous, all he got was tons of infamy.

It is completely opposite to what Guo Shuying wants.

"Well... business development has its own laws, as long as it is guided and competition is formed, it is still good for Anhui cuisine."
