It’s already a heat wave in Chudu in early June. The central air conditioner in the office can lower the temperature, but it can’t erase the irritability caused by summer.

Gu Yanan changed his sitting position to make himself feel more comfortable, while slowly drinking coffee and listening to the female assistant's report.

“In five days, ‘Master Xiao Zhou’ has provided diners with thirty-one new types of noodles.

According to the trapezoidal data, the number of lucky customers in the breakfast department is increasing every day. Currently, it has increased from three to seven per day, and it is estimated that it will continue to increase in the future.

'Master Xiao Zhou' has shown the strength of a genius Bai An in these days. The pastry categories designated by the lucky customers cover eight major cuisines and some local cuisines, and there are even some famous local snacks that are not included in the cuisines.

. After several senior Qinxing and Lu Zhimou tasted it, they all thought that he had achieved the original taste, even surpassing those time-honored brands..."

When the female assistant reported these data, her eyes seemed to be shining; Zhou Dong is now the "public male god" of Jiuzhou Dingshi. The greater the achievements of the male god, the happier she will naturally be.

"Well, the statistics are very good, you can go out."

After the female assistant gently closed the office door, Gu Yanan glanced at the delicate man sitting on the sofa against the wall with some annoyance, and said half coquettishly and half complaining: "Brother, you heard it too, right? That's it.

He is a talented chef who is so young and is a talent that even several senior practitioners value highly. No matter how much it costs, it is worth it. I want to keep him!"

The man sitting on the sofa is wearing a handmade casual suit and no tie. He has a fair complexion and a casual expression. A well-trimmed "artistic beard" on his chin makes him look more like a writer or director than a businessman.

He sipped the black tea in the cup and looked at his beloved sister with a smile: "Oh? Does my sister want to keep that handsome boy? This is something that can be considered, but are you serious about him or...

..."

Gu Yanan gave him a fierce look: "Brother! I'm not kidding!"

"I'm not kidding. Xiaonan, I know all about your romantic affairs when you were studying in the UK. Are you going to change your taste this time?"

"Gu Yacheng! You have gone too far!"

Gu Yanan was about to go crazy. What a romantic affair. Back then, it was because of her cheerful temperament and enthusiasm for others, and because she was a beautiful woman and had a good family background, there were always some "flies" swooping on her, which she couldn't even drive away.

It's obviously just wishful thinking of those guys, but I haven't even let anyone touch my little hands!

Why did it turn into a romantic affair when it came to this guy's mouth? Is this his own brother? Why did the chairman of Shangzhou Group, who was serious and serious in the eyes of outsiders, turn into a scoundrel when he came in front of him?

"Am I going too far?"

Gu Yacheng spread his hands: "I don't know how much effort I put into getting rid of those 'flies' surrounding you; when you called me and said that you should treat your handsome boy well, I flew over from the capital of Guangdong.

I can’t even think of drinking water.”

"Let me correct you again. He is not my handsome boy, but the future pillar of Jiuzhou Dingshi! A more important person than Zhendian Bading! Didn't you secretly taste his breakfast yesterday? Isn't that shocking enough?"

"It's very shocking, especially the lotus root fat jade porridge. But no matter how good his buns are, and no matter how amazing his secret egg pancakes are, he is just a young Bai An.

Xiaonan, you must be clear, Shangzhou Group is not the only one in the world, and I, as the chairman, am just a nominal person, the real power is in the hands of the old man.

Those old guys on the board of directors have to follow the rules in everything, what can you tell me to do?"

Gu Yacheng sighed and said: "Besides, what they said is right. Although Zhou Dong performed well, what does a few breakfasts and a portion of oil-fried double crisp mean? Except for the oil-fried double crisp, he was on the stove Have you cooked any other dishes?

He is just an intern who has not even obtained the fifth-level chef qualification. First, he has no qualifications, and second, he has no apprenticeship. Why should those old guys agree to your proposal?"

"elder brother......"

"It's no use calling me brother. The bigger a company gets, the more rules it has to follow.

According to the rules set by the group for Jiuzhou Dingsheng, if a chef wants to get a stake in the group and participate in dividends, he must start as a special-level senior technician, and he must have made significant contributions to Jiuzhou Dingshi.

According to this condition, not to mention him, Jiuzhou Dingshi's flagship restaurant Bading is not qualified.

Xiaonan, your proposal is really too abrupt. If I didn’t know you well enough, I would be like those old guys on the board of directors and think that you were stunned by the handsome guy!"

"Brother, you are not an old guy now, are you? Don't you know that when an enterprise is bound by more and more rules, it is the beginning of its decline?"

"Of course I know, and all entrepreneurs in the world understand this truth. But when a company grows big, can it do without rules? If there are rules but if you don't follow the rules, the company will only decline faster. So, I'm looking for There’s no reason to refute those old guys.”

Gu Yacheng glanced at his sister helplessly, shook his head and said: "Your appetite is too big. One percent of Shangzhou Group's shares? Although it only has income rights, considering the size of Shangzhou Group, it is worth every year alone The dividend is an astronomical figure!

So the board of directors' rejection of your proposal is not entirely due to rules, but also out of consideration for the internal balance of the company!

You don’t want to think about it, just give your work share to an intern at a hotel affiliated to the group. Well, even if you can clear his name and get out of the internship status, he is just a newcomer.

What do the old ministers who have worked for the group for many years think when the group treats a newcomer so favorably? This will cause a chain reaction! Xiao Nan, you are now the president of Jiuzhou Dingshi. You are no longer the person who always got everything if you wanted a doll. A little girl who grew up with Barbie..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gu Yanan was speechless for a moment, but what his brother said actually made sense; this was completely determined by the different heights of the two of them. The brother was in charge of the overall situation of the group, and What I saw was Kyushu Dingshi.

But he was still unwilling to give in anyway. The woman's sixth sense told him that if the group did not tie Zhou Dong firmly to the chariot today, it would definitely regret it in the future!

It was just a hunch without any evidence, but she still had to make a final effort.

"A few days ago, a gentleman named Zhu asked Zhou Dong to make authentic 'Bazhen Noodles', and Zhou Dong agreed..."

"What! Are you talking about Li Liweng's Bazhen Noodles?"

Gu Yacheng was obviously stunned, and lowered his raised legs: "This is an 'unsolved case' that Hua Xia Qinxing has not solved for many years. How dare he answer it?"

Shangzhou Group started out as a catering company, and now its main business is also in the catering industry. With a family background, Gu Yacheng is of course also a gourmet, so how could he not know that ‘Bazhen Noodles’ was the pit where Li Yu tested his descendants?

"The young man is indeed reckless. He will definitely fail."

Gu Yacheng shook his head, obviously not very optimistic about Zhou Dong.

"What if he succeeds?" Gu Yanan asked.

"If he can really make this lost Bazhen Noodle, I will try my best to help you. But for those old guys on the board of directors to agree to your proposal, I'm afraid he has to show his performance in the red case."

Gu Yanan shook his head: "Brother, when did your vision become so short-sighted? Can't you really see that Zhou Dong's significance to our Jiuzhou Dingshi is not only in the kitchen?"

His popularity is now soaring, and he has become a star chef that is being closely followed and reported by the provincial gourmet publication "Daguo Xunwei"; Mr. Dong from the Suzhou Culinary Association also intends to cultivate him, hoping to make him a Qinxing star in Suzhou and a banner among the younger generation. ; And his image is very good. If it weren’t for Yixin’s cooking skills, it would not be impossible for him to make a direct debut in the entertainment industry!

A young, capable, and handsome chef, what are you not thinking of?"

Gu Yacheng smiled: "There is never a shortage of handsome guys in this world...and how difficult is it to use star power to promote Kyushu Dingshi?

This time I flew to Jiangsu Province, firstly to meet you, and secondly to participate in a food show. You must have heard of Xiangguo TV’s ‘Ideal Life’, right?

This program is paired with Teacher He and Teacher Huang. It has the highest ratings of its kind, and this episode even invited me and Teacher Yu from Kyoto's Deyu Society. If I promote Jiuzhou Dingshi in the program, you will Guess what the outcome will be?”

Gu Yanan said in astonishment: "Is he the teacher Yu who likes to smoke, drink, and perm his hair? He is humorous and kind-hearted. I really like him!"

"Really? So with the strength of our Shangzhou Group, it is too easy to use celebrities for publicity, so why do we need to cultivate our own celebrities?

But your idea is also feasible, let’s first see if Zhou Dong can make the lost Bazhen noodles.”

"Don't worry, he will definitely succeed!" Gu Yanan was convinced of this.

"hehe......"

***

Gu Yanan is still too optimistic.

Li Yu's Bazhen Noodles have a very deep hole, so how can it be said that it can be cracked? These days, Zhou Dong tries to prepare the 'fresh juice' in the kitchen every night, but without exception, he fails.

The first thing Zhou Dong thought of was fish and mutton soup.

The word "fresh" can be broken down into two words: fish and sheep. It seems that this is the answer? But when he tried it countless times in the kitchen of creation, he realized that it didn't work at all!

Chinese characters do not represent recipes. In China, there are mutton soup, fish soup, beef and mutton soup... When have you ever seen someone selling fish and mutton soup? To make a word, you can just use the freshness of fish and mutton as 'fresh', and the real soup is

You have to consider taste.

Fishy and muttony, these two flavors are almost impossible to neutralize. There is a dish called "Yufang Tibetan Lamb" in the recipe, but cooking and making soup are so different from each other that it is impossible to copy it.

Zhou Dong tried all kinds of red meat, white meat, and even shellfish in seafood and snails in river seafood one by one in the system, but he still couldn't find the answer.

Since it was not possible to start with objects, Zhou Dong started with Li Yu.

Li Liweng's admiration for vegetarian food was almost obsessive, and he once said that bamboo shoots are the king of vegetables. Zhou Dong had an idea and thought of a famous dish in Shanghai called 'pickled bamboo shoots'.

The main ingredient of this dish is not bacon, but bamboo shoots! The bamboo shoots use the meat to make the dish. People in the city will eat up all the bamboo shoots and leave only the meat. So if you use bamboo shoots and bacon to make soup, can you get vegetarian food?

What about the delicious juice in the soup?

Zhou Dong tried this hundreds of times, but no matter how he changed the ratio of ingredients, the combination of spices, and the method of controlling the heat, although the final soup was delicious, it was still inevitably overshadowed by the shrimp in the noodles.

Press!

I'm afraid the only thing that can compete with shrimp is crab, but if crabs are used to make soup, then this noodle will completely become a seafood noodle, and it will immediately be declared a failure.

With a long sigh, Zhou Dong exited the system and counted the number of times he failed, which turned out to be as high as 10,001!

"I was still very unconvinced by Li Liweng and thought that I could easily solve the riddles he left behind. It seems that I underestimated the ancients too much.

Grandpa He, if you were asked to choose this missing ‘fresh juice’, what would you choose?”

Today happened to be Saturday. Zhou Dong came to the tea shed and cooked a large pot of Lancheng beef noodles for the patients for dinner. Mr. He still criticized the noodles while eating, and he was very happy while criticizing.

Suddenly, he remembered what Mr. He said, "The most delicious thing in the world is plum salt." Could it be that this old patient is also an expert in the field of cooking? Zhou Dong asked casually.

"Haha, it's the Bazhen noodles, right? To tell you the truth, when I was young, I didn't know how to eat anything else! I've really studied this kind of noodles, but it's a trap."

"Ah, Grandpa He, do you have any research results?"

Zhou Dong's eyes lit up. Could it be that he had gone through the iron shoes and couldn't find any place, so he got it without any effort?

He Biwen glanced at him with a smile and said, "Of course, what you, Grandpa He, and I have studied, is it okay if there are no results?"

"Then Grandpa He, please tell me quickly. I'm worried to death. If I still can't make this face the day after tomorrow, I'll be embarrassed!"

"Don't worry, grandpa tells you, the result is 'letting go is the most beautiful'..."
