Sesame Green Bean Garlic

Huo Zian let out a sigh of relief: "I have waited in line for a long time, I didn't expect this level of food to come."

The tadpole man held back his anger: "Are you not satisfied with our dishes? Let me hear the opinion of the Michelin chef."

Huo Zi'an immediately said bluntly, "Temperature control is the biggest problem. Because there are too many presentations and gimmicks, the food is not served at the optimal temperature. I want [-]% of this three-dimensional steak, but now it's only [-]% at most. The inside is cold. The outer layer is too hot; and the big glass is probably a plate, and the plate is cold, it doesn’t even meet the most basic standards, how can you call yourself a high-end restaurant?”

The tadpole man wanted to refute, but Huo Zian didn't give him a chance, "Also, there was a mistake in the design of the dishes. Foie gras, black caviar, and wagyu beef are added together, and the characteristics cancel each other out. Each of them is not good, wasting these expensive ingredients There are enough waiters, but they keep recommending the most expensive dishes and wine. As a result, we ordered too much meat, and no one reminded us. In addition, when I come to a western restaurant with this price, I just want a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. The tables are so crowded here, and the customers are taking pictures and looking at their phones all the time, I feel like I'm in a fast food restaurant."

After listening to Huo Zian's criticism, the tadpole man looked at Huo Zian for a while, then glanced at You Liangchen, and finally he sat down and smiled first. "Michelin chef, I have to say, you are an expert, and what you say makes sense. However, what is the standard for a restaurant to be good or bad?"

Huo Zian knew what he was going to say, and said, "There is no single standard."

"No! At least one thing is a consensus, that is, whether anyone will come to eat!"

Huo Zian nodded, "Well, if no one likes it, you won't be able to survive."

The tadpole man patted the table triumphantly, "Isn't this enough? You see, I might not even be able to get in the line here, how about your place?"

"I have very few customers." Huo Zian said honestly.

The tadpole man laughed, and changed the topic: "Your restaurant has just opened, and you haven't done much publicity. The restaurant is in a corner, and it's normal for no one to go. My restaurant, you saw, is very popular! But I won’t use this to compare with you. I want to compare, just compare with you the most basic things of a chef.”

"Oh? Are you talking about cooking?"

"That's right!" the tadpole man raised his head and said, "Of course it's cooking. You are a Michelin star chef, so you won't be afraid to compare your cooking skills with me?"

Huo Zian shook his head and did not speak.

The tadpole man followed the pole and said, "At the end of this month, the TV station will have a chef PK show, and they have asked me several times. How about you come on it with me?"

Huo Zian laughed, and only then did he understand the real purpose of the tadpole man coming to provoke him.

Under the gaze of the tadpole man, Huo Zian remained silent, as if he was thinking.

But the tadpole man couldn't wait any longer, and urged: "This show has a lot of stars, and it will definitely be popular. It doesn't matter if I take you, what do you think?"

Huo Zian looked up at him and asked, "How much is the meal tonight?"

The tadpole man was impatient: "What does this have to do with the show?"

"Hey, I guess at least [-]. Eating at my place costs about [-] to [-] per person. We are not on the same level."

"Ah?" The tadpole man knocked on the table, "I've said it all, we are not compared to restaurants, but to cooking! Aren't you afraid?" He was worried: In order to lure Huo Zian into the bait, he originally wanted to go to the alley for more After making trouble several times, I didn't expect Huo Zian to come to my door so soon.Everyone is here, can he let him go easily?

Huo Zian didn't take his words, and said to himself: "The price is also reasonable, the ingredients are placed there, and the price of the same thing in a Michelin restaurant may be doubled. With such a high price, there are still many people who eat it Changlong, it seems that the Beijing market is quite big."

"That's right! Let me tell you, Beijing is a great treasure, and this is less than one percent. It depends on whether you know where to drill the hole."

Huo Zian praised: "That's right, your vision is really good. By the way, didn't I ask for your name?"

"Qi Huaiyu, the bosom of the heart, the universe of the universe."

"This name is really impressive." Huo Zian stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, "I'm new here, so Brother Yu will take care of you."

Qi Huaiyu said with a smile: "That's needless to say? Let's stop talking nonsense, the matter of being on the show is settled?!"

Huo Zian: "Let me think about it. Waiter, pay the bill!"

"Hey," Qi Huaiyu gritted his teeth and said, "You are so annoying. What can you think about it? Being on the show is a great publicity. Are you afraid that people who go to eat in the future will not crowd the alley? Let me tell you, They gave me a few opponents, but I rejected them all, not enough. I've just taken a fancy to you!"

Huo Zian smiled and said, "Thank you, what an honor. Waiter, give me the bill."

"I don't want your money for this meal, Brother Yu invites you!" Qi Huaiyu wanted to make a quick decision.

Huo Zian said cheerfully: "Thank you then!" He stood up, "You Liangchen, let's go."

Qi Huaiyu also stood up, "Then it's settled, people from the program team will look for you in two days."

Huo Zian looked confused, "What are you talking about? Brother Yu, I'm not interested in being on the show, you can find someone else."

"Eh, no..."

"I've said it all, the two of us are not at the same level, and we can't even compare."

Only then did Qi Huaiyu come to his senses, and said angrily: "Huo Zian, after all, you just look down on me!"

"No, you misunderstood," Huo Zian said sincerely, "I mean, we are not in the same way. Frankly speaking, I think your restaurant is quite interesting, and it would be no problem to open ten or eight restaurants in Beijing. Didn’t you say that oil can be drilled anywhere in Beijing? But this is not my goal.”

When Qi Huaiyu heard this, didn't the meaning of these words mean that he didn't regard himself as an opponent?What can a Michelin chef do?He became even more angry: "Hmph, I know what people like you think. You say it one way and the other. In fact, you just embrace foreign thighs, chasing Michelin and the world's top 50 every day. You don't like the taste of the general public. I Let me tell you, the last ones to eat out and stuff money into your trouser pockets are those people who check their mobile phones, scan WeChat, and follow talent shows. Michelin is qualified to choose you, but our TV shows are not? You are so arrogant ah!"

The volume was quite loud, and the diners around all looked over.

Huo Zian felt that he couldn't explain clearly to him, and was also a little angry.He looked at this popular restaurant and couldn't figure it out, how could this person talk about the general public and not the common people?Does he feel that he can represent the common people because the "common people" contribute 10,000+ turnover to him every day?

He mocked: "The general public would not use wagyu beef as caviar, and use gold leaf as seasoning. Brother Yu, thank you for your dinner, goodbye."

After finishing speaking, he ignored Qi Huaiyu and walked out of the restaurant with You Liangchen.

The lights on Gulou East Street were dim, and pedestrians were in a hurry.The two of them walked more than half of the road, Huo Zian remained silent.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, You Liangchen said, "Is it cold? Go get something to drink."

Zi'an said indifferently: "Oh." You Liangchen took him into a small shop.

Huo Zian was surprised, he thought that You Liangchen would bring him a drink, but he didn't expect this to be a coffee shop.The shop is small, with only a bar and two tables, and it only sells hand-made coffee.

You Liangchen doesn't drink much coffee, so he chose this store because the lighting is warm and bright.He took a sip, his brows puckered, his nose wrinkled.

Huo Zi was relieved: "Aren't you used to drinking it? Change to another kind?" Seeing You Liangchen's cute expression, his heart felt soft.He found that Yu Liangchen's expression has become more colorful recently, and he no longer has a ten thousand year iceberg face when eating, and occasionally shows a little happy or masochistic look.Because the two are more familiar?Or it was just because his eyes stayed on You Liangchen for longer and longer...

Huo Zian quickly stopped, not daring to think about it.

You Liangchen refused, "How about another cup? Then I just drank it for nothing." He really doesn't like coffee.

"Let me drink it for you." Huo Zian was about to move, and suddenly he was very greedy for the coffee that You Liangchen had drunk.Without waiting for You Liangchen's answer, he picked up his coffee cup and took a big sip.

The entrance is sour and bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet.You Liangchen asked, "Is it sour?"

"No, sweet."

ah? !You Liangchen felt baffled, could it be that the composition of the chef's tongue was different from his own? "Oh, then you should drink it all," he pushed along.

Huo Zian smiled at Yan Ruhua, and drank all the coffee.You Liangchen saw that he had a weird expression, but at least the haze on his face had dissipated.He originally came into this store to coax Huo Zian, but now that Huo Zian is happy, he feels at ease.

Huo Zian asked: "You Liangchen, do you think I should be on TV?"

"Do you want to cook eggs while pole dancing with Brother Yu?" You Liangchen thought it was funny when he imagined that scene.

"Haha, are you playing on TV like that now?"

"Not necessarily, maybe go to the wilderness to raise ducks, sell hamburgers on the side of the road, see who can separate the male rabbit from the female rabbit, etc." He never watches TV, and rarely turns on the video, it is pure nonsense .

Huo Zian laughed.He naturally doesn't want to be on TV, but he also agrees that restaurants need publicity. Whether it's a metropolis like Beijing or Shanghai, the "general public" actually has all kinds of interests and hobbies. Yes, but there are also those who only look for like-minded people like Huo Zian Restaurant.To find one's own group in the vast crowd, no matter what, one must first let people know of one's existence.

He turned the coffee cup in a circle, and then said: "Brother Yu is right, no one comes to a restaurant, no matter how good it is, it's versatile. Although you can wait for word-of-mouth to build slowly, but Beijing is fiercely competitive. A restaurant like The Mill is also very attractive. If we don’t do some publicity, we just put our heads down there, and it’s probably not enough.”

You Liangchen pointed to the road outside, "To publicize, you don't have to go to the TV so much trouble. You can print [-] leaflets for ten yuan, and we will post them all the way in the dark, enough to post them all the way to Beixinqiao."

Zi An echoed with a smile: "That's a good idea, but posting small advertisements is too wicked, why don't you dress up and send them along the way? Isn't there a clown flower seller in front, you can keep company with him."

"Fuck," You Liangchen quickly objected, "You might as well let me pretend to be a giant panda, a bull devil..."

"Okay!" Zi'an said, "I'll get you some clothes tomorrow!"

"Don't even think about it!" You Liangchen smiled.

The two chatted nonsense for a while, and Huo Zian felt much happier.When walking out of the shop, Huo Zian said to the barista, "Thank you, the coffee is very good."

The barista was a woman with a cropped head. She glanced at him and said indifferently: "I heard you all pushing around over there. The space in the shop is not big, so if you want to criticize next time, please come face to face with me." alright."

Huo Zian hurriedly apologized: "We were just joking around." He saw that the store was small, but he was careful in everything, and the details were not sloppy, so he thought to himself, this is meeting someone of the same kind.He became interested, and said again: "Did you know that there is a French restaurant in Caozang Hutong? I am the chef there. If you have time, come over and try it. I can give you a [-]% discount."

The barista was taken aback for a moment, and then said cheerfully, "Well, I'll try it when I'm free."

Huo Zian asked her for a pen, drew the route in detail on the napkin, and wrote the name of the shop.The barista looked at it, added a line of words in the blank space, "The food is unknown, but the chef and the clerk are very handsome", and then pasted the paper in front of the bar.

She said to them, "It's not illegal for me to post small advertisements here, and I don't need money."

Huo Zian was very grateful, and saluted her, "Thank you, comrade!"

"There will be bread, and there will be milk," the barista replied, "Work hard, comrade!"
