Adorable Food Goddess Chapter 137: Protest
"That's it." Someone nodded suddenly.
The shopkeeper Li in the front row heard Zheng Sanduo's words and was very annoyed, so he wanted to refute a few words, and felt that it was not appropriate for him to be a senior and a junior to make theories. He hesitated and listened to Lu Xiaotian with a smile.
"Brother Sanduo underestimated him. I heard yesterday that the emperor reported that he had entered the palace to make an imperial meal. Eighteen dishes and a soup surprised four people. The emperor also bestowed the name of the dish and made him walk in the imperial dining room."
Everyone gasped.
"No way? What kind of official is walking in the Imperial Dining Room?"
"The imperial kitchen is not an official. What kind of official is the imperial dining room? It's just a servant in the palace." Zheng Sanduo was sour, not convinced that Li Yao actually walked as the imperial dining room. "
Lu Xiaotian said: "The imperial kitchen is indeed nothing great, that is, only the first name in the culinary competition is eligible to be an imperial cook in the palace, and the second in the imperial dining room can only be a miscellaneous."
This is obviously directed at Zheng Sanduo. Everyone here knows that Lu Yiming was the first chef in the culinary competition before he became an imperial chef, and he was a chef for the emperor. As for Zheng Although rich and honorable are also eligible to enter the imperial dining room, their status is obviously inferior to that of Lu Yiming.
Ye Jiayao secretly said: This is a wonderful thing to slap the face of a guy with his nostrils up to the sky.
Zheng Sanduo knew that he had made a mistake, and was choked by Lu Xiaotian again, his face turned pale and blue, very embarrassed.
"In that case, Li Yao is a bit real." Someone said.
"He is so powerful, he is supposed to be eligible to participate in today's parliament."
"Yes, shopkeeper Li doesn't bring people, so we can get to know him."
"Huh!" Someone snorted coldly.
Ye Jiayao followed the prestige. It turned out to be Niu Baoshun sitting in the first seat of the second row.
"The level of culinary skills will be the real chapter in the competition." Niu Bao said.
Zheng Sanduo finally found an ally, and said: "Exactly, how good Li Yao is. Now everyone has only heard that being famous does not mean that he has real skills. To make the emperor happy does not necessarily depend on cooking. , This Li Yao is used to clinging to the powerful, and I am afraid that he has the ability to shoot horses."
I'm a little kid, you have not had the chance to cling to the rich and powerful. Ye Jiayao stared at the back of Zheng Sanduo's head, really wanting to kick him a bit.
Lu Xiaotian sneered twice: "I think Li Yao will definitely participate in this culinary art competition. Brother Sanduo will be able to see whether Li Yao is well-known or not."
Lin Changchun, the treasurer of Fulin sitting next to shopkeeper Li, smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Li, you have Niu Baoshun in the sky five years ago, and you won third place as a dark horse. This year, the competition has not yet started. Your heavenly residence is already the hottest topic, your chef is not easy!"
The shopkeeper Li smiled humbly: "Where is it, I heard that the chef of your gathering of Fulin is hidden."
The above-said Zheng Fugui glanced at the hall, it was full, and he said: "Since everyone is here, let's start the discussion!"
"First of all, the first issue is that several pastry shops in Jinling lodged a protest."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes gathered on the treasurer Li, and the treasurer Li ignored him and drank tea indifferently.
Ye Jiayao's heart chuckles, it's for your grandma, what's the problem with my old lady who has been making cakes for a few months? It is obviously jealous to even come up with a discussion.
Zheng Fugui continued: "Although the Chamber of Commerce does not have explicit regulations, the rules of the industry are established. Restaurants, pastry shops, tea houses, wine shops and even vinegar shops have their own clear business scopes. The launch of snowy mooncakes has had a great impact on several pastry shops in Jinling, so they jointly protested. Shopkeeper Li, would you please explain this matter?"
The shopkeeper Li put down the tea cup and said indifferently: "Since someone has protested, the old man said that the business scope of the restaurant is comprehensive, not only cooking, the restaurant also makes wine, such as your Fu Ji Fu Shouchun is self-brewed. The business is very good, and the wine shop did not protest against it, did it?"
Zheng Fugui's face is not very good-looking, he didn't expect the shopkeeper Li to open his mouth and drag him in.
"Restaurants also make drinks. For example, in various restaurants, there will be iced plum soup, lotus seed and fungus soup in summer, etc. The restaurants also make cakes, and some even pickle preserves, such as the cakes of Xiangyilou, Kirin Pavilion The candied fruit are very famous, why don’t you see someone jump out to protest? If you want to talk about selling moon cakes, which year does the restaurant here do not sell moon cakes? Now, why do we sell cakes for a few months in Tianshang Habitat? .
The opposite Mei Xiuguang jumped out and said: "The wine, pastries, and preserves made by other homes have not caused a devastating blow to others, and your snowy mooncakes have caused all of our mooncakes to be unsalable. Not moving anymore."
Shopkeeper Li smiled and said: "Shopkeeper Mei, don’t worry, the snowy mooncakes we sell in Tianshangju are aimed at wealthy people. There are many rich people in Jinling City, but there are not as many people as ordinary people. So, you guys There are still a lot of customers in the pastry shop! Doing business depends on competition in the first place. Whoever has good things will naturally do business. Otherwise, Xiangyilou would not come to dig."
"Competition will lead to development. As for competition but others, then hurry up and change your way. If you can't sell high-end mooncakes, sell low-end ones. Shopkeeper Mei is also a veteran in business. You don't need an old man to teach you, right? Who is to blame if you touch the stone?"
Ye Jiayao wanted to applaud the shopkeeper Li, Lao Li is so eloquent! Said sharply.
Mei Xiuguang was speechless by the treasurer Li.
"Treasurer Li shouldn't be so aggressive. With Feng Shui, your chef can stay in your heaven for a lifetime?" Some people can't understand the arrogance of Shopkeeper Li.
Treasurer Li said: "Who knows what's going on in the future, it will be fine now."
Zheng Fugui said: "Treasurer Li, everyone is in the same company. See you when you look up. You can make money with harmony. I think it's better. You can halve the amount in the sky and leave a way for others. How about?"
Most people in the hall nodded in agreement. Although Tianshangju is an old restaurant, business has not been bad, but suddenly it is so red, red to purple, it is inevitable to make people jealous.
"I don't agree. Doing business is based on ability. As long as there is no fraud and the right method, it can be done." Duan Qilin said.
Ye Jiayao looked at this big guy unexpectedly. Before, he thought he was a bit fierce, but now he feels that this person is full of righteousness.
"Please forgive the younger generation's boldness." Lu Xiaotian got up and clasped his fists.
"Cooks are more specialized in learning skills, such as vegetarian, meat, and pastry, because they have limited qualifications and energy, so they can’t take care of them. Nowadays, there is a chef Li Yao from Heaven. The dishes are exquisite and delicious, and he is also a master at making pastries. I heard that he also has a skillful carving craftsmanship. Such talents are really rare. It is the good fortune of Tianshangju to invite such a chef."
"To be honest, each business is not as good as others, so I can only complain that I have not been able to hire such a comprehensive chef. As for the pastry room, the pastry and pastry shop was defeated by a small chef in a restaurant. This is like a fight between two people. The other party uses your tricks to defeat you. You can't ask your opponent to tie your hands and feet to fight you because you lose. This is shame, you can only blame yourself for inferior skills."
Mei Xiuguang's old face was flushed, but there was no way to argue.
"Lu Xiaotian made sense. Like we gathered in Fulin, we used to be prosperous, but now that business is sluggish, we don't blame others." Lin Changchun also said.
Lu Xiaotian's words are sharp. Even if the people present are not convinced, they dare not jump out to accuse him. If they jump out, they will inevitably be labeled as a shameless name.
Seeing the stalemate, Zheng Fugui solicited the opinions of the old president from the side, and said: "You can negotiate this matter privately! Next, the second agenda is about the cooking competition."
"Jinling City’s five-year culinary art competition was originally organized by our Chamber of Commerce to increase the popularity of major restaurants and introduce new ones. However, this year the official opinions are expressed, hoping to be broader and not limited to major restaurants. , Anyone who feels they are good at cooking can participate."
As soon as this remark came out ~IndoMTL.com~ the whole room was in an uproar. If this way, the level of this competition will be improved, and it will no longer be a matter of your own circle. By then, there will be more people participating than the river crucian carp. , Even people from other towns will come, the competition is more intense.
"Why? The funds are all from the chamber of commerce." Lian Xingwang of Xiang Yi Lou objected.
Zheng Fugui said lightly: "Our Chamber of Commerce only contributes 30% of the funding this year, and the rest will be borne by the government."
He also didn’t want to expand the scope of the competition. This would be detrimental to his son Sanduo. Just in Jinling City, Sanduo’s cooking skills are guaranteed to win, but once it opens, it can’t be estimated. There are mountains outside the mountains. There are people outside, and there are many folk masters.
Uh...Since it's the official leaders, they can't oppose it.
Ye Jiayao was thinking about calling Zhong Xiang and the others to participate too,
"How is the award set?" Someone asked.
Zheng Fugui said: "Since the noodles have expanded, the awards will naturally increase. The officials have said that all the top ten can enter the imperial dining room this year. Moreover, this competition also added noodles, taking the top three."
When this statement came out, there was another uproar. It's unreasonable. The first ten entered the Imperial Dining Room. Does the Imperial Dining Room want to take this opportunity to recruit cooks?
Ye Jiayao can understand the official decision. It must be that the masters in the palace are tired of the dishes made by the chefs and want to change them for fresh dishes.
This is the case. A restaurant will have to change the cook in a few years, just because the customers will get bored and lose their appetite.
"So, everyone here will go back and prepare well. This competition is not only to fight for your fame, but also to fight for the face of our restaurants in Jinling City." Zheng Fugui clearly wants to cheer everyone up, you can say it I feel a little heavy.
