Back in Xi Tianlei's office, the staff of the association waited for a long time and handed a certificate to Xi Tianlei.

Xi Tianlei opened it for inspection, handed it to Qiao Zhi, and said with a smile: "You will be an organized person in the future." ”

Qiao Zhi packed the membership card into his bag and sincerely thanked him: "Teacher Xi, thank you for your help." ”

Xi Tianlei shook his head and smiled: "No way, who asked me to write you a word? Besides, I really admire you. You are very young, but you have mastered the long-lost roasted tail feast. However, I would like to remind you that the puppet is not guilty, but guilty. Roast tail feast is a top-notch recipe that many top chefs want to get a glimpse of, and many people are bound to come to you for trouble. ”

Qiao Zhi smiled, "I have already transferred the secret recipe for the roasted tail banquet to Fuchun Lou. ”

Xi Tianlei was slightly stunned and smiled dumbly, "You are very smart, this is not a strategy for the eastward movement of trouble." I admire your open-mindedness, few people will be so decisive, those are unique skills that can make you eat and drink without worry for the rest of your life!"

Qiao Zhi smiled indifferently, "In today's era, the speed of information is too fast, there is no absolute secret recipe, even if I don't tell Fuchun Lou, presumably their chef will definitely rack his brains to study, and sooner or later they will crack the code, it is better to send a favor." In addition, the roasted tail banquet is a precious treasure of Chinese catering, and it does not belong to me personally, and it is also published to better inherit the classics. ”

Xi Tianlei bowed slightly, "Although you are young, you think things very transparently, which is enough to make many people embarrassed!"

Qiao Zhi smiled very modestly, thinking to himself, who doesn't know how to protect the secret recipe? It's not because he can't keep it, so he pretends to be generous!

However, after this wave of hole cards is handed over, the value is obvious.

The biggest gain is that he has been recognized by Xi Tianlei, the pillar of the culinary industry! In the future, not to mention that you can walk sideways in Yanjing, at least you don't have to be afraid, and you dare to maliciously touch porcelain with yourself like a small miscellaneous piece like Man Dongliu.

"How long are you going to stay in Yanjing?" asked Xi Tianlei with a smile on his face.

"It's going to be a few days, the business in the canteen has been very good lately, but there are not enough people in the back kitchen, so I have to wait until the back kitchen is completely stable before leaving. Qiao Zhi said.

"You are very good! Not only do you have strength, but you are also very enterprising. Xi Tianlei exclaimed.

After Qiao Zhi and Mei Ling left, Xi Tianlei returned to his office, and his face showed a complicated expression.

"Shichao, if you want to become a weapon, you must have a suitable opponent. There is another genius in this world who is as talented as you! Qiao Zhi has leapt into the dragon gate, and is qualified to be your whetstone. However, now I am a little worried about the teacher, if you are not careful, you will become a stepping stone for him!"

Xi Tianlei flipped through a document on the table, which was a list of chefs under the age of thirty-five in the Culinary Association, and Qiao Zhi was at the end, which had just been added.

Every year, the Culinary Association has an internal tasting meeting, which brings together chefs under the age of 35 to exchange ideas.

Everyone makes one or two dishes, nominally it is a taste, but in fact there are seniors to score and then rank!

If Qiao Zhi wants to be at the top of the list, he must get a good score in the tasting meeting.

This will also be the first confrontation between Sun Shichao, Cao Zhen, Kong Fan and Qiao Zhi!

Qiao Zhi

Not surprisingly, it will give the first three recognized new stars in the Chinese culinary industry a resounding slap in the face.

Sun Shichao, Cao Zhen, Kong Fan, they have all won good results in the King of Chef Competition, although they have not participated in the International Culinary League, but they have also participated in many activities internationally, which have been well received.

Sun Shichao's restaurant is now recognized as a top Chinese restaurant by European aristocrats, while Cao Zhen runs a popular restaurant in Guangdong that is the number one on the Black Pearl list.

Compared with the three of them, Wu Linfeng, a famous chef of Bashu cuisine, is like a little ant.

With the different levels, Qiao Zhi's opponents, the strength has also changed, and the enemies Qiao Zhi has to face not only have a deep background, but they have been famous for a long time, and their industry status is higher than their own.

In short, Qiao Zhi needs to leapfrog the challenge!

Of course, at present, Qiao Zhi has no time to consider the grim situation, and he is immersed in the small joy brought by getting the membership card......

Sitting in the taxi, Mei Ling saw Qiao Zhi holding his membership card and constantly taking pictures, and smiled angrily: "I've never seen you so happy." ”

Qiao Zhi shook his membership card, "I was happy before, but you didn't notice it." If you don't show your big joy, you can show your little joy to your heart's content. ”

Mei Ling shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Alas, many times I think you are very mature, but occasionally I think you are quite naïve." Teacher Xi is very good to you, and you can see that he wants to cultivate you. ”

Qiao Zhi carefully packed the membership card into his bag, shook his head slightly, and was noncommittal.

"What's the matter, your expression is wrong!" Mei Ling frowned.

"Xi Tianlei's friendship with me is just a meal, why do you think he wants to help me?" Qiao Zhi asked lightly.

"He appreciates you and thinks you're a talent. Mei Ling frowned, this reason was a bit untenable.

Qiao Zhi bowed his head and said, "I must admit that he appreciates me a little. But I don't have a deep relationship with him, and he must have other plans for helping me like this. ”

Mei Ling stared at Qiao Zhi, "Will you spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"

Qiao Zhi smiled slightly, took out a document from his bag, Mei Ling took it in his hand, and flipped through it at will, which were the archives of Sun Shichao, Cao Zhen, and Kong Fan.

"These three people have a lot of relationship with Xi Tianlei, Kong Bohou, and Suo Zhi, and they are the heirs they have worked hard to cultivate, and they will take over their mantle in the future. Xi Tianlei took him to meet the other two great masters today, what is the purpose, can't you see it?" Qiao Zhi sighed.

"You mean, deliberately attracting hatred?" Mei Ling was surprised, "Teacher Xi, it's not like such a sinister person!"

Qiao Zhi shook his head, "Xi Tianlei and the other two have made a bet in public to see who can cultivate a qualified leader in Chinese cuisine. Xi Tianlei didn't use me to create hatred, he just used me as a whetstone. He wanted to use my presence to give those three enough motivation to grow faster. ”

Mei Ling suddenly realized, "If Teacher Xi thinks so, it will disappoint me a little!"

Qiao Zhi smiled faintly, "I admire him a lot, at least he has the idea of entering the world and promoting Chinese food culture." His attitude towards me is just intimacy, and my relationship with him is definitely not as close as his relationship with Sun Shichao, and he must give priority to Sun

Shichao's position considers the problem. I only have a one-sided relationship with him, and the relationship between him and the Chinese Cuisine Association is really respectable that he can help me get through the relationship between the Yanjing Cuisine Association and the Huaxia Cuisine Association. ”

Mei Ling sorted out her clues and found that Qiao Zhi was more rational than herself.

"What are you going to do?"

Qiao Zhi smiled: "I don't have any plans! But if they want me to be a stepping stone, they may be disappointed." ”

Mei Ling was silent, "You have changed a lot. ”

Qiao Zhi laughed, "Different situations require different strategies. People didn't know about me before, so I could hide my hole cards. Now that I have been pushed to a high place by you, there is a cliff behind me when I take a step back, and there may be more beautiful scenery when I take a step forward, so it is better to forget about my back and climb up!"

Mei Ling smiled: "The style of painting has changed suddenly, and I am a little uncomfortable." ”

Qiao Zhi smiled: "You will get used to it soon!"

Arriving at the hotel, Mei Ling followed Qiao Zhi into the room, put the bag on the table casually, and then sat on the chair, not planning to leave for the time being.

"Jinlin Group seems to have encountered a problem, and now there are a lot of negative images on the Internet about Norwegian salmon farming, and now China has refused to import Norwegian salmon, which will be a huge blow to Jinlin Group. Mei Ling knew that Qiao Zhi and Lin Ping had acquired Jinlin Group, but she didn't expect that after the acquisition, there would be serious problems.

Investigative reporters infiltrated a sea salmon farm with a camera and captured a shocking footage.

Large numbers of fish are crammed into filthy waters filled with their excrement. Many of the diseased salmon are covered with palm-sized ulcers, some have become S-shaped deformed fish, and the mortality rate of farmed salmon is as high as 20%, and the high density of farming has also caused fish lice to become infested.

One of the main products of Jinlin Group is wild salmon with high-end ingredients, and it also has artificially farmed salmon projects, but it is only an incidental industry.

Although Jinlin Group has nothing to do with the non-standard management of Norwegian sea farms, because of the influence of the news, as long as you know that the origin is from Norway, now the domestic channel chamber of commerce chooses to take it all.

Jinlin Group has inevitably been affected, and many orders have been cancelled, and the market in Huaxia has almost been cut off.

Qiao Zhidao: "If you want the society to cancel the vigilance, you must make the internal management open and transparent, Lin Ping and I have discussed that from next week, we will adopt the integrated construction of the Internet of Things for the fresh food industry chain of Jinlin Group." ”

"Internet of Things?" Mei Ling looked at Qiao Zhi strangely.

"That's right. From the salmon caught to the transportation to the table, the whole process will be recorded, customers can watch the fishing scene of the sea boat through the video equipment in advance, from the fishermen, choose the fish they are satisfied with!

"Wouldn't that require a lot of investment?" Mei Ling was surprised.

"The cost is manageable, and it can be solved by adding some monitoring equipment. Wild salmon monitored by the Internet of Things is definitely much more expensive than ordinary farmed salmon. Qiao Zhi touched his nose, "Anyway, everyone knows that I only pit the rich, and I believe that those customers will not care how expensive each piece of wild salmon fillet will be in order to enjoy the food more confidently!"
