Sesame Green Bean Garlic

Chapter 42 Unpredictable

After Qi Huaiyu made a fuss, he started to get down to business: introduce to Huo Zian his creation of "Spring Flower World Colorful Big Burger".The hamburger buns are made into five-color petals, which are cute and beautiful, and there are real flowers inside.The meat is imported Australian Angus beef, the meat of Bengal crab is added to the vegetables, and the light ricotta cheese forms a fine-looking burger with fine texture.

Qi Huaiyu swept back the collapsed hair and said, "Chef Zi'an, try it and give me some advice."

Huo Zian tasted it, and praised: "Not bad, very fresh. The scent of flowers does not cover up the taste of beef, but can neutralize the greasy feeling of red meat. Crab meat is very sweet, with layers of umami. Ricotta is used very well, and can be used as a substitute With thick sauce and strong cheese, the lightness of the burger is outstanding, which is different from the burgers I have eaten, and the creativity is really good.”

Qi Huaiyu thought that Huo Zian would use a few words to perfunctory the past, but he did not expect him to appreciate his work so meticulously, and hugged his shoulders tightly in joy.Huo Zian was terrified, seeing his fleshy lips, he quickly moved a little farther away.

Qi Huaiyu didn't pay attention to Huo Zian's reaction at all, but was busy talking to the camera: "Nowadays, many ignorant people say that Michelin is not worthy of the name, but you can see that the knowledge and vision of Michelin chefs are indeed higher than many people. This In the show, winning or losing is not important, the most important thing is to show the collision and sparks of different chefs... Hey, Chef Zi'an, where are you going?"

Huo Zian didn't turn his head back: "I... I'm going to the toilet, you continue." As he ran away, he thought: How long will Qi Huaiyu go to this trouble, why don't he come back after eating breakfast with You Liangchen?

When he came back, the stall had changed a lot.A huge background board stands in the back, and advertisements are posted on the desk and blackboard.

Huo Zian was shocked, and asked the director: "What's going on?"

"Oh, Mr. Huo, there was a traffic jam on the third ring road just now, and the background board has just been delivered. Does it affect your layout?"

"No, no, I'm asking, why is there such a big advertisement for W?"

"W Ji is our exclusive title sponsor. By the way, can I ask you to record a video later, just tell me your impression of W Ji. It would be better if there is a story."

Huo Zian remained silent.Seeing his displeased look, the editor hurriedly said, "You don't eat fast food, do you? Also, why would a chef like you go to W Ji to eat hamburgers? In fact, you can just say something casual If it's itchy, it's fine, if not, can we make up a few sentences for you?"

Huo Zian frowned: "I used to eat fast food when I was in school... No, the point is, I don't think it's appropriate to advertise like this. I've never heard of any sponsors from you guys. Why did they pop up now?"

Zhou Dongxi interjected, "Brother Zi'an, it's not just this big board, they also printed the W logo on the burger box."

The paper box containing the hamburger was delivered together with the background board.Huo Zian took it over and looked at it, and his heart sank. The advertisement in the box simply printed "Michelin" in big characters. At first glance, the font and size of W and Michelin are the same, just like W and Michelin. It's like launching a new product.Only then did Huo Zian realize that the production company "sold" itself to a fast food brand.

But what is the value of Huo Zian itself?His restaurant is less than half the size of one of W's suburban locations.Huo Zian's Michelin title is naturally the fast food brand's favorite.Although Michelin and fast food brands are both about food, fast food restaurants focus on efficiency and quantification, while Michelin restaurants focus on intensive cultivation and creativity. The two are completely different fields.The only reason why fast food brands are greedily stepping in is because of the hot topic of Michelin entering China in the past two years.This has nothing to do with the food itself at all, and it has no real contribution to catering. After all, it is a complete commercial hype.

The director patiently explained: "Mr. Huo, maybe you are not familiar with this industry. There are sponsors in TV programs, and it is a consensus in the industry that sponsors should place advertisements in the programs. It was also stated when we first signed the contract." .”

Huo Zian recalled it for a while, and probably remembered that the sponsor was mentioned in the contract, but it didn't specify which sponsor it was, nor did it state the obligations of the participants to the sponsor.He was not very keen on recording programs at the time, so he didn't bother with it.He said to the director: "I can understand the sponsor, but this matter has nothing to do with Michelin. You printed this name to misuse Michelin, right?"

"How could it be? We didn't use the logo. It's not an infringement. It's just a reminder that you are a Michelin-starred chef. This is to promote you."

Then there is no need to print the word Michelin bigger than the burger! "This is taking advantage of loopholes," Huo Zian said bluntly, feeling that this matter must not be compromised, "Forget about the background board, but not this box! Take it back."

The director had no choice but to say, "I'll discuss it with the director."

Huo Zian regretted it greatly. Since he decided to participate in this kind of program, why didn't he be more careful and understand the operation and nature of the program from beginning to end?Only now did he realize why he was selling hamburgers. This was basically a promotional activity led by Mr. W!It doesn't matter if you get stuck in it yourself, and even sold Michelin's name, what will the outside world say?Said that Huo Zian advertised the fast food restaurant under the banner of Michelin!

He looked at Lao Bao resentfully, and asked, "I fell into a big pit, what should I do?"

Lao Bao also knew that this matter was embarrassing, so he looked left and right, but he couldn't think of a way.Finally, he picked up a cardboard box, threw it on the ground vigorously, and stepped on it viciously. "What's the matter, we don't need this box."

Huo Zian raised his eyebrows, slapped his thigh, and said, "That's right! If you throw away all the boxes, aren't you more rascal than anyone else?!"

Huo Zian was extremely depressed, but fortunately, the business of the stall was very good, and when he got busy, he didn't care about being upset.

After the busiest lunch time, Huo Zian sat down and took a breath.The weather was fine, the breeze blew over intermittently, the sun shone on He Xi and warmed his body, making his bones crisp.

The female owner of the juice shop brought lemon juice and strawberry juice to Huo Zian.Huo Zian quickly stood up, took the cup and said, "Hey, you are too polite."

"Thanks to you, the total business I do in a week is not as much as this morning." Many people who bought hamburgers sat down and ate at the juice shop, which was always full.The female boss smiled and said, "You drink first, and I'll serve it to other chefs later."

Huo Zi'an thanked him.There were seven of them in total, only Ouji, Wei Guoen and Zhou Dongxi were still working. Chen Langxin and Lao Bao were just here to join in the fun, and they had gone to drink coffee long ago, but You Liangchen—where did You Liangchen go?Huo Zian looked around, and finally found him opposite the juice shop.Seeing him lazily leaning against the corner, Huo Zi'an felt itchy, and wanted to shout "The city management is here!" to see if he would jump up and run away.

Huo Zian took the strawberry juice to him.You Liangchen asked, "The nose doesn't itch anymore?"

"Well, it's much better." Maybe it's because there are really few catkins here, or maybe he's finally getting used to it.In order to hide from the catkins, he has hardly been outdoors for the past few days. Now he breathes the fresh air and feels refreshed.

He found that You Liangchen was also in a good mood, more lively than usual.Huo Zi felt at ease, and said: "It's quite fun to set up a stall. You can bask in the sun, chat with customers directly, and strike up a conversation with the female boss. No wonder you always want to go back and sell pancakes."

Yu Liangchen smiled.

Huo Zian said again: "It's only after I came out that I feel aggrieved by the kitchen." Depressed emotions were revealed in the words.

You Liangchen knew that Zi'an had suffered a setback, and he was not in a good mood.He couldn't comfort him about this, so he didn't speak, and accompanied Huo Zian to drink juice silently.Car horns, people talking and laughing, footsteps, faint music, the surrounding noise seems to be very far away, and the only thing lingering in their ears is the rustling sound of straws - the sound of people around them.Huo Zian suddenly said: "You Liangchen, when we retire, let's set up a stall on the side of the road to live."

"Huh?" You Liangchen was taken aback, "Us?"

Huo Zian regretted it as soon as he said it, and You Liangchen's reaction poured cold water on him.Huo Zian realized that he had crossed the line. The relationship between him and You Liangchen was nothing more than a boss and an employee. No matter how close the relationship between the two was, he couldn't let someone accompany him to the end of his life.Moreover, how could Yu Liangchen be his waiter for the rest of his life, even he himself didn't know how long he could stay in this unpredictable city.

Huo Zi'an felt a sense of impermanence, only feeling powerless and insignificant.He didn't answer You Liangchen, and You Liangchen stopped talking.The rustling sound of straws filled the whole world again, and after a while, Yu Liangchen stood up, clenched the plastic cup into a ball, threw it into the trash can next to him, and left without a sound.

There are still many people who come to buy burgers in the afternoon, and there are queues in the alleys.Many people asked for the restaurant's business card, and some asked for a photo with Huo Zian.

But the camera no longer surrounds it, and even the director and staff don't see much of it.Huo Zian thought, it might be that their booth was too dull and boring, and there was nothing to photograph.

He didn't know what happened until after three o'clock in the afternoon.A group of workers came running out of nowhere and took away the backdrop and all the billboards.

Huo Zian asked curiously, "Are you leaving get off work?"

The editor-director's face was uncertain, "Oh, chef, you still say you're off work, and if you don't think so, you'll be laid off."

"What's wrong?" Huo Zian was shocked.

The editor and director controlled his emotions and explained, "W has a big deal. Today the Food Bureau announced that it would investigate and deal with problematic beef, and W was named. Doesn't it have an imported beef burger, which is twice as expensive as other burgers?" , Said it was expired beef, and it had expired for a year! Fuck, what is this called?"

Another editor interrupted: "Oh, I said, this is called making a fuss. You may not be able to eat it for a year after it expires. We Chinese have so many preservatives and additives in our stomachs, can't we deal with that little bit of bacteria?"

"You are a fucking mummy, have you watched the TV report? How disgusting is that meat!"

Huo Zian asked, "Was W punished?"

"The situation is not clear now, it's not optimistic anyway."

Another editor said: "Nothing will happen. Those who sell poisonous milk, poisonous vegetables, and poisonous meat, don't they live a good life?"

"It's a local company, so it's hard to say about foreign companies. Chef, let's make an emergency remedy now, remove W's advertisement, and see if we will cooperate with them in the future."

"Yes," Huo Zian responded.When encountering such a thing, he can only be at peace with it.As much as he dislikes promoting fast food, things aren't getting any better.

No, it should be said to be worse.The hamburger sale in the morning has been live broadcasted, and it has been reported on the Internet and Weibo. His photo was posted on the poster with the W logo, and it has been seen by many people. Even if the billboards are removed now, and even the program If it cannot be broadcast, the relationship between him and W cannot be separated.

Advertising a fast food restaurant sucks, let alone a fast food restaurant that sells expired beef?

The author has something to say:

This is bullying our family, Zi'an, you should have to pay extra for recording videos and photos and posting them in advertisements~~

This part was actually written three weeks ago, but in the past few days, I saw that a certain fast food really sold imported beef from Star Chef.I’m in a bad mood, I feel like my ideas have been stolen (shameless, who would find ideas from such unpopular articles;) and I feel like I was sent by a competitor to hack them (no one pays Xiaoyan writers for money. Hello).

In short, this article is purely fictitious. If there is any similarity, it can only show that the reality is really not much better than the imagination of Xiaoyan writers!
