Alternative life in world space

To go upstairs, one must pass through the exhibition hall on the first floor.At this time, many people were already visiting, and Yan Cong was also very curious when he looked at these booths.He heard from Bai Jincheng that, to put it bluntly, this exchange meeting is an exchange meeting for products, so the [-]-day exhibition is the most important part.Of course, the communication between their chefs is on another level. This Bai Jincheng doesn't know what the process is and what to communicate.And that competition, today is also something they want to consult with Zhou Sheng.

In the middle of the second floor of the pavilion is the high-ceilinged space on the first floor.So in the circular corridor on the second floor, you can see the whole picture of the downstairs. "The venue is really big."

Wu Ban said with a smile: "This is one-third, it is Area A. It is also an invitation area. The brand merchants and farms here are all invited. Of course, they themselves have participated in many exchange meetings. I am an old friend of mine. There are many new merchants in Area B and Area C. In addition to some agricultural products and deep-processed food products. Look at the relatively small exhibition areas in the east, which are businesses such as hotels and restaurants. Those chefs In addition to food planners and freelance chefs like Mr. Zhou, most of them are representatives from these businesses."

"Is that so. Then these chefs are all here to exchange cooking skills?"

"Not all. Because more and more people are traveling and shopping in China, these hotels also want to gain popularity. You also know that our Chinese people sometimes have a relatively high degree of trust in brands."

Both Bai Jincheng and Yan Cong heard the subtext hidden in it.But neither of them said anything.

The third floor is very large, but it is impossible to rent all the space for the exchange meeting.Only one-third of the third floor is occupied by the exchange meeting.Zhou Sheng and the others were in one of the small conference rooms.

Seeing Zhou Sheng, Yan Cong quickly apologized: "Sorry. We came out late."

Zhou Sheng smiled and said, "It's not too late. Even I moved to the nearby hotel yesterday. You live in the National University, there must be a traffic jam at this hour. Come. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Ross, X Vice President of Guoda Regal Hotel Chain. Also an amazing international celebrity chef."

This Mr. Ross Yan Cong still has a little impression.It's not that he knew each other, but he had watched some videos of international cooking competitions in his previous life.And this Mr. Ross is known as the most loyal to tradition.It is this famous chef from country X who only cooks their traditional dishes from country X.And according to the ancient law, even the wood for burning must be a certain kind of tree in a certain place.The various herbs used must also be grown in specific locations.

At that time, my father's health was not in trouble.They also sat together and watched these game videos.At that time, my father said that this Ross looked old-fashioned, and his ideas and behaviors were not worthy of admiration and for others to learn from.But he respects history, respects the culture of his own country, and is willing to make a real inheritance. From this point of view, he has done a great job.

It is also because of these comments that Yan Cong can remember this chef.However, compared with his appearance more than ten years later, the Mr. Ross in front of him is very young.Sure enough, many Westerners don't look like the same people when they are young and when they are middle-aged.But I have to say that Ross is very handsome now.But it's still far behind my boyfriend!

The two shook hands with Rose.Then Bai Jincheng said: "Mr. Ross refused my visit the day before yesterday. Fortunately, I finally saw you today."

Rose is proficient in four languages, and Chinese is the best besides his mother tongue.Therefore, after Bai Jincheng said this, he felt a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I didn't know that someone wanted to see me."

Bai Jincheng smiled: "It's true that I was abrupt. I was very interested in your essential oils."

"You want to buy my essential oil?" Rose was a little surprised.Because this essential oil company is the business he inherited from his maternal grandfather.It's only been three years since I took over.And it has nothing to do with cooking. He never thought that he would come to China to participate in the food exchange meeting. How could anyone mention this.

Bai Jincheng said: "If you have time and are willing to talk to me, maybe we can talk about the distribution of essential oils in China. This is my business card."

After receiving Bai Jincheng's business card, Ross, a relatively old-fashioned person, doesn't know much about online shopping platforms, so he doesn't know what Maimai.com and Huayue do.But out of courtesy, he put away his business card. "If we have time, we can talk."

"Then it's such an honor. I'll make an appointment with your assistant first."

Bai Jincheng and Rose are just an episode.Yan Cong was also a little confused, but it did not prevent him from getting to know more people in the future.But basically, apart from Ross, Yan Cong has no impression.Then Zhou Sheng recommended the two apprentices to Yan Cong as temporary assistants.

One of these two people was named Lin Changsheng and the other was named Mei Li.Both are 25 or six years old.He was very young in front of Zhou Sheng, but he was older than Bai Jincheng and Yan Cong.After speaking with several guests, Zhou Sheng said that Yan Cong could go to see the exhibition by himself.There will be a lecture that requires him to participate in the evening and afternoon.Then he asked the two apprentices to take good care of Yan Cong, and took a few guests downstairs first.

Lin Changsheng looked more serious.But Mei Li is a person who can talk with a smile.He is very friendly, especially Bai Jincheng has been running a lot of business recently, and he is also more skillful in speaking. The two of them chatted for a while and knew that the other party was a good communicator, so they became closer.On the contrary, Yan Cong asked Lin Changsheng about the exchange meeting, and he had attended several times with Master, and he said a lot about what they could do and need to do.

"It turns out that you don't need to come here every day." Yan Cong scratched his head.

Lin Changsheng was quite interested in this handsome little chef.He heard from his master that this person, the only son of the Yan family, was secretly replaced at birth and grew up outside.It wasn't discovered until the second day of junior high school, and then he recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors.And the most amazing thing is that the child recognized his biological father as a master to learn cooking skills before he recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan.

A child with such a special background can still maintain his persistence in his dreams and his kindness and peace in dealing with others.This will indeed make people have a good impression and stimulate people's desire to protect.He was quite happy to be assigned by Master to be Yan Cong's assistant this time. "Actually, it's not necessary. Moreover, not all chefs will participate in the so-called culinary competitions. Unless someone calls their names, they all sign up voluntarily. However, many foreign chefs come to China and like to do things like challenges. This This time, a young chef from country J is about the same age as you. His personality is also... emm... but he may challenge many people. You are the same age, maybe he also wants to try your level."

It's this countryman again.Yan Cong was a little helpless: "I'm just a newcomer who has just studied for a few years. I have never participated in serious adult cooking. I will die. If you pick me, it won't be honorable for him to win, right?"

"It's not the same. Because you are from the Yan family, challenging you to win may make him feel very proud."

"???" Yan Cong was a little confused. "Sorry, can I ask a stupid-sounding question?"

Lin Changsheng nodded: "Of course. As long as I know, I will answer."

Yan Cong scratched his head: "That. Our Yan family is my grandfather and my father. I know they are famous chefs. But are there any famous ones? I don't have much contact with these things, and they don't treat them well at home. I say this."

Lin Changsheng was taken aback by the question, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense.This grandpa and father wouldn't just brag to their children about how awesome they are, would they?What's more, the child was only recognized later.Thinking about it this way, it's not so stupid. "Of course! Mr. Yan used to be a chef for a state banquet. Moreover, the fact that the Yan family handed over all the secret recipes handed down to the country was also a good story in the domestic catering industry decades ago. Mr. Yan also served as a chef association meeting Long. The judge of several national chef awards. He is also the honorary principal of Huakang Cooking School. And your father won the No.1 of the National Chef Awards three times, not when your grandfather was a judge. You have to pass several The gold medal of the International Chef Competition. In the catering industry of our country, your Yan family is very prestigious. Of course, the more important thing is that your grandfather and your father are very popular. Except for a few people who want to build relationships Rejected, and then with a bit of malice, most people respect Yan Lao."

"Wow! So grandpa and dad are so powerful! They didn't even tell me!"

Seeing the surprise and excitement in the boy's eyes, Lin Changsheng felt that such a good boy really looked like the Yan family.Maybe genes are really reasonable things. "It may be really difficult for the older generation to say what they praise themselves. Or maybe they don't think it's something to show off to their children and grandchildren."

Yan Cong nodded: "You are right. But in this way, I can't embarrass them. If possible, I'd better avoid the risk of losing."

This kind of frankness made Lin Changsheng feel good about it. Even Mei Li, who had been chatting with Bai Jincheng just now, felt that this child should not be bullied.So when they went to the coffee shop on the second floor to rest, he took a sip of coffee and said: "Zhi Ye, that young chef from country J. He's been crazy recently. You don't know, what kind of look he made Cuisine. It is said to be an epoch-making innovation. I think it is our food sculpture, so crazy about what it is."

Speaking of this person, Yan Cong became a little curious. "What is modeling cuisine?"

Mei Li said: "It is to make food into various shapes, isn't that just a food carving?"

Lin Changsheng said: "Actually, it's different. Our food carvings are made of ingredients to carve out various shapes on the plate. Although this is also part of the assessment, it is also a chef's skills. But it is undeniable that our food sculptures The main functions of carvings are not all for eating."

Yan Cong asked: "Then that Zhiye's works are all seasoned and cooked so that they can be eaten?"

Lin Changsheng nodded: "Yes. It is said to be so. But we have only seen a few photos and a video reported by their country. I will send it to you later."

Mei Li still felt unconvinced: "What? If it's steamed, it's also cooked. It doesn't necessarily taste delicious like that."

Yan Cong actually knows some modeling food.For example, fondant cakes, later on someone was able to make them into works of art, and even amazed the world. "Speaking of which, carving or shaping with ingredients is not new. In addition to the food sculptures we will learn, there are also dough and sugar figures. If the chef of country J has other ways to make food in other ways The presentation of the form can indeed be learned or even borrowed from.”

Lin Changsheng said with a smile: "This is the realm and mentality we should have."

Mei Li still insisted on his own ideas. "Anyway, that Zhiye is very annoying. He is so young that he is crazy!"

Yan Cong wanted to say, I also hate arrogant people.But I really can't take it too seriously.I am well aware of how capable I am, so there is really no need to show off in this kind of place.However, he could only go home and talk to Bai Jincheng about this.Judging by Mei Li's temperament, he might really hate that Zhiye.
