Chapter 63 [Kimchi War]
Since the spring breeze of reform started blowing, foreign businesses that were rarely seen in China have appeared in the land of China like toads after the rain, squatting everywhere to grab territory, causing domestic businesses to complain endlessly and have to lose their mouths.
Exclaiming that Wang Ba is here.
The catering industry was originally the least affected. Westerners' red wine and Western food was just suitable for pretense, but in fact it was not very suitable for the appetite of Chinese people. It was not until the emergence of island countries and North and South Bangzi cuisine that domestic counterparts felt
threaten.
Among them, the biggest threat is Bangzi Cuisine, which is taking advantage of the "Bangzi Flow" to land in China. This kind of cooking system that uses the essence of island countries and Chinese cuisine, with a strong flavor of kimchi and barbecue, seems to be important.
Following various popular fields such as entertainment, clothing, and cosmetics, it has once again swept the Chinese market.
Diagonally opposite the old local main store is the 'Janggeum Hotel' opened by Nan Bang in Chudu. Thanks to the influence of a certain TV series and the support of Bang fans, this five-star hotel has always been strong.
Well, even the Dole Hotel, which was upgraded to a five-star hotel a few years ago, has been suppressed by it, let alone the old place that was once just a mid-to-high-end hotel.
Zhang Zhao upgraded to five stars this time, and he also held back his breath to have a fight with the 'Changjin Hotel'. But he didn't expect Bangzi to observe Huaxia Qinxing's rules like his own underpants. Before he could develop, he would
He launched the challenge according to the rules. Although the threshold of the world in the 21st century has been lowered a lot, Chudu is not a Tianjin gate where many starlets are born. If Zhang Zhao does not accept the challenge, he will not be ostracized by his peers or even expelled from this place like he did in his old age.
industry; but Zhang Zhao just couldn’t swallow this breath, and he couldn’t afford to lose this person!
What's more, even if he is willing to give in, if Old Man Cao knows about this, he will be furious; if he offends this ancestor, Zhang Zhao will never think about Jingbang cuisine in his life. Old Man Cao is the legendary
If a pig passes it on to a dog, it will never be passed on to him.
So no matter what, Zhang Zhao has to fight, and he must win!
When Zhou Yi drove the Land Rover to the parking lot of his old place, he saw Zhang Zhao standing on the steps in front of the door, holding a canopy with his hands and looking anxiously like a 'big brother'. When he saw Zhou Yi's
Car, this guy jumped over in a few steps, opened the door, and said eagerly: "Brother, you are finally here, but you are not anxious to death..."
"Calm down, calm down, Brother Zhang."
Zhou Yi glanced at Zhang Zhao with some surprise. A dignified tycoon from the capital of Chu, a man of great influence, shouldn't be so restless. How can he do such a big business without the demeanor of a general?
"Brother Zhang, haven't I arrived? What are you worried about?"
"Can I not worry?"
It was clearly a brisk autumn day, but Zhang Zhao was sweating profusely: "Bangzi did an amazing job. This competition was originally just a competition within the industry. At most, representatives from major hotels in Chudu came to watch; but Bangzi actually invited
The famous gourmet Mr. Chang who came to the provincial capital and Yang Cai, the "Flower Eater" of Zhou Nan Daily, even invited two super chefs from Nanbang to be judges. This is a pretense that they want to die with my brother.
Knock."
Zhang Zhao gritted his teeth as he spoke. This is the hatred of three rivers and four seas, the hatred of all corners of the country...
"Since there is a competition, there must be judges. But it is not kind enough to alarm the judges from the provincial capital and South Korea..."
Zhou Yi also frowned slightly. He had met Yang Cai and Chang Aiguo at a banquet. One actually gained a reputation as a flower-eater with his "exquisite tongue" and represented the press; the other personally presided over the compilation of "World Recipes" 'The talented person represents the authority of Shandong Province. Does Nanbang want to knock down the old place at once in the public opinion and professional fields?
Glancing at Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yi chuckled and said, "Brother Zhang, this is not the place to talk. Let's talk in your office. You don't have to worry too much. I'm here, right?"
"That's right, that's right. It's my brother. I'm too anxious. I'm making you laugh. Let's go to my office. Let's make a pot of tea and chat while we drink..."
The so-called expansion of the old local headquarters basically means tearing down the original land and rebuilding it. For this reason, a large-scale demolition was carried out. It has a square covering an area of 1,500 square meters, a 20-meter-high light fountain, and erected Wanqi, the building is as high as 18 floors, with accommodation on the upper nine floors and dining on the lower nine. Just looking at this financial situation, Zhou Yi knew that although Zhang Zhao's company has not yet been listed, it is probably ranked among the top ten in Chudu. Inside.
The old place and Changjin Restaurant have the same strategic thinking, which is to attract consumers with excellent dishes. Therefore, catering has become a top priority. It is no wonder that Zhang Zhao attaches great importance to this competition.
After the two of them took the elevator to the chairman's office on the 18th floor, Zhang Zhao, the life secretary with tall breasts and pert buttocks and a childlike face who had both the temperament of a sexy lady and an innocent lolita, was about to speak delicately. He was interrupted by Zhang Zhao: "My buddy and I have something to talk about. You can go out first. By the way, let the chef bring a jar of kimchi made by Chef Yun..."
"Yes, Chairman!" The beautiful secretary rolled her eyes at Zhang Zhao with infinite resentment, and walked out with a twist.
"Brother, try my 20-year-old Chen Pu'er, the aroma of tea comes out..."
Putting Zhou Yi on the sofa, Zhang Zhao took the tea set and poured him a cup with his own hands. However, he was not in the mood to drink tea and sighed: "Brother, don't blame Brother Zhang for not being able to speak. Brother Zhang just wants to ask, you Although your cooking skills are great, but... can you make kimchi?"
"Kimchi, is Changjin Restaurant better than kimchi?"
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Zhang Zhao was so worried. Bangzi’s kimchi has a wide variety of varieties and is indeed world-famous. Although there are many powerful chefs in China, when it comes to pickles, it’s not necessarily Bangzi’s. Opponent, is there any specialization in the art?
"Isn't that right?"
Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "This is also Qinxing's rule. The challenger is a guest and can give advice on the content of the game; these sticks are cunning, they are actually better than pickles! Although this thing is a trail, it is still a dish? Brother Zhang, I still I really can’t refuse…”
"That's right." Zhou Yi also nodded: "That's fine if we don't have kimchi in China. But we also have kimchi in China, and Sichuan Province has a long-standing reputation for kimchi. If we refuse, I'm afraid Bangzi will make a fuss again, saying that we are afraid of him. .”
"Come on! Brother, I also believe that you can't lose your position by embarrassing yourself, so I agreed..."
Zhang Zhao smiled bitterly and said: "But then I regretted it. Brother, you also know that if we in China were to compare big dishes, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to bring out tens of thousands of famous dishes to knock the little stick out, but when it comes to this kimchi, it's really a bit... I can’t take it..."
Zhou Yi nodded. Zhang Zhao is right. Although Sichuan kimchi is well-known, when it comes to types and tastes, it is relatively simple. Naturally, it is not as good as kimchi, which has been used as the main course for thousands of years. Occasionally eating meat is like celebrating the New Year.
After thousands of years of development, people think that the big jar is one type, the small jar is one type, the red pepper is one type, the green pepper is one type, the spoon is stirred clockwise and counterclockwise.
It’s still one kind of thing...if you calculate it this way, there are actually thousands of kinds!
There are thousands of kinds of vegetables in China, but there are thousands of kinds of pickles in China! Now you have to take off your old cotton-padded jacket, and it is thicker and shorter than your underwear. Isn’t this cunning, or what?
Seeing that Zhou Yi didn't say anything, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Brother, you don't have to be embarrassed. Fortunately, my current head chef is proficient in the three major cuisines of Shandong, Sichuan and Guangdong. He has already tried making kimchi, and I tasted it OK. This time
I invite you to come, brother, because I want you to help me taste it and see if there is any room for improvement..."
