Kong Bohou pushed open the door of Xi Tianlei's office, "Old Xi, have you seen the news on the Internet?"

Xi Tianlei took off his reading glasses and said lightly: "What news?"

Kong Bohou put his mobile phone in front of Xi Tianlei, and Xi Tianlei read the name of the article "Qiao Zhi accepts the challenge of top state banquet chef Sun Jin!"

Xi Tianlei smiled bitterly, "Is there anything wrong with this news?"

Kong Bohou sighed, "The seniority is wrong! Sun Jin should be inferior to Qiao Zhi." Even if he wants to challenge, it is Qiao Zhi who challenges Sun Jin. ”

Xi Tianlei looked up at the chandelier on the ceiling and smiled faintly, "When did the culinary industry also engage in the system of seniority?" It was Sun Jin who proposed to compete with Qiao Zhi, and of course it was Sun Jin who challenged Qiao Zhi. Judging from the list of tigers of the International Culinary Association, although Qiao Zhi's ranking has dropped a little recently, Sun Jin is unknown in the international culinary world and is not famous at all. ”

Kong Bo said kindly: "You stand on Qiao Zhi unconditionally." Sun Jin is Sun Shichao's father. ”

Xi Tianlei said: "I'm on the side of reason." Qiao Zhi has obtained the qualification of the chef of the state banquet, Sun Jin uses power for personal gain, to put it mildly, he is a narrow-minded, selfish scum, with extremely poor character, shameless and immoral. ”

Kong Bohou's eyes widened, he didn't expect Xi Tianlei to make such an unceremonious evaluation of Sun Jin.

He coughed twice, "I'm afraid that public opinion will raise Qiao Zhi too high, and if he loses, he will be miserable." ”

Xi Tianlei said: "Even if you lose, so what." Qiao Zhi is still very young, Sun Jin is a chef who has been cooking state banquets for decades, and Qiao Zhi can travel lightly. ”

Kong Bohou frowned and said, "I always feel that it is too messy, this matter has made the culinary world a miasma." ”

Xi Tianlei said: "I don't think it's a miasma, but I think it's a good thing." We are all nationally recognized national chefs, but how many people in the world know your and my names? To put it mildly, I even suspect that Sun Jin is touching Qiao Zhi, and now everyone in the world knows about him. ”

Kong Bohou opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a long time, "It seems that this is the truth." ”

Xi Tianlei smiled lightly, "You have to learn to look at problems from the good side, the cooking world seems to be impetuous, but it is also lively." In today's society, any industry must actively embrace fresh elements, live broadcasts, short videos, and create a lot of folk masters, which is also an opportunity for our chefs. Don't think that you have accepted many disciples, won many titles, and have many honors, don't work behind closed doors and enjoy yourself, but actively integrate into the society and show your true talents and learning to more people through new media. ”

Kong Bohou sighed softly, "Your words touched me a lot. ”

Xi Tianlei said with a smile: "We are all old and unwilling to move, this kind of mentality is unacceptable to young people." The pessimistic argument that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong no longer applies. Pigs, whether they are strong or not, can't escape the knife, so why not eat more and enjoy the joy of satiety in their short life. Only when people are famous can they realize their ideals and ambitions. ”

Kong Bohou bowed his hand to Xi Tianlei and said with emotion: "I was sloppy." ”

Xi Tianlei called Kong Bohou and said with a smile: "Don't go, I just want to find you, a few days ago, Yanjing TV Life Channel had a food program called "Home Taste", and I wanted to invite you and Lao Suo to serve as guests and technical guidance together." Are you interested?"

According to Kong Bohou's personality before, eighty percent of them might refuse, but he hesitated at the moment.

Kong Bohou was silent for a few seconds, and said softly: "Okay, then I'll give it a try, but I'm not very good at facing the camera." ”

Xi Tianlei said with a smile: "Don't worry, you don't need to say anything, it's all the hostess who explains the tandem next to you, you just need to make good food." ”

After Kong Bohou left, Xi Tianlei sat on the chair and frowned in thought.

Qiao Zhi's birth has not only injected fresh energy into the culinary world, but also changed the chef's positioning of himself.

In the past, when the chef went out to introduce himself, he was the chef of a certain restaurant, and whether the chef was famous or not depended on whether he had worked in a top restaurant.

But now it's different, whether a restaurant is good or not, whether the dishes are wow, is the last word.

The food is made by the chef, and the chef becomes the core element that affects whether the restaurant can stay open for a long time.

This wind direction is the change brought about by Qiao Zhi after he was born.

Qiao Bang main canteen recruits top chefs all over the country, not only with high salaries, but also with enough power, chefs not only have absolute control over the kitchen, but also participate in the actual management of the store, and the promotion channel is completely open.

......

Sun Jin sat on the sofa at home, smoking mosquito coils one after another, he didn't expect things to be in a uproar, and now the leaders of the state guesthouse also called him to inquire about the matter.

Sun Jin originally planned to have a competition with Qiao Zhi to save his son's confidence, who would have thought that everyone would know about it.

The victory or defeat is not terrible, but the terrible thing is that now people all over the world know that they are using their power for personal gain, and they used the chef of the state banquet to control Qiao Zhi and force him to try his cooking skills with him.

Someone entered outside, and Sun Jin looked up and saw that it was his eldest disciple Wang Shimao.

Wang Shimao walked to Sun Jin's side and said in a low voice: "Master, you just let me compete with Qiao Zhi, so that even if I lose, I won't lose your face." ”

Sun Jin shook his head, "What, do you think I'm going to lose?"

Wang Shimao's eyes showed a solemn look, "I watched the whole game between Qiao Zhi and Max, he is a competitive chef, he is strong when he is strong, there is no need to bet on your reputation." ”

Sun Jin waved his hand, "I have made up my mind, by the way, there is something I want to tell you." Regardless of whether I win or lose this competition, I will resign from my current position, and you will have to take on my job. ”

Wang Shimao's eyes widened in disbelief, "Master, you are still very young, only in your fifties, and there are still many years before you retire, why did you resign from your position so early?"

Sun Jin smiled faintly, "I'm going to leave the opportunity to you! For so many years, as my deputy, you have been able to take charge of yourself long ago. I should hand over the future to you young people, and I can't sit in this position selfishly and limit your development. Nowadays, all walks of life are emphasizing youth, and the same is true for cooking. After I resign from my position, you must cultivate Sun Shichao with your heart, this is my only requirement and wish. ”

Wang Shimao was depressed and nodded lightly, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely take care of him." ”

Sun Jin said with a smile: "You don't have to be too sentimental, any industry is afraid of being strong." When people reach a certain age, not only will their physical strength deteriorate, but their sense of taste and aesthetics will weaken accordingly, so I choose to retreat bravely now. ”

Wang Shimao said: "With your energy and experience, there is no problem at all to be a consultant for another ten years, and if you leave, it will be a huge loss to the State Guesthouse." ”

Sun Jin shook his head and said, "Anyone can rotate without the earth, and I am far less important." You prepare well, and when the game is over, I'll start handing over the work. ”

Wang Shimao sighed softly, although Sun Jin was a very strict person, and he was apprenticed with him at the beginning, and he was beaten a lot.

However, in order to make yourself unforgettable, the most important thing about working in the state guesthouse is to be cautious.

Under Sun Jin's training, Wang Shimao developed an extremely rigorous character.

After Wang Shimao left, Sun Jin was about to go to the bedroom to rest, and Sun Shichao walked in from the outside, looking at Sun Jin with complicated eyes.

"Didn't you tell you not to come back?" Sun Jin said softly.

Sun Shichao said in a deep voice: "I want to know why you made that decision! Why do you want to compete with Qiao Zhi?"

Sun Jin glanced at it lightly, "The Sun family has no bad seeds, and if you fall from there, you have to stand up somewhere." I have taught you since I was a child to develop perseverance and perseverance, but you obviously did not integrate into your bones, and I did this not for you, but for the Sun family. ”

Sun Shichao was silent for a few seconds, and glanced at Sun Jin very seriously: "Dad, I have to tell you a fact, Qiao Zhi's cooking skills are not only far above me, but even better than you and Teacher Xi. ”

Sun Jin glared at Sun Shichao, "There are people outside the world, and there are heavens outside the sky." How could I not know that? Do you choose to accept your fate when you know that you will fail? I must tell you that failure is also a wealth of life. I failed, even if I had nothing and a bad reputation, so what? As long as I had a breath left, I could still work hard and struggle, and I could still get up. ”

Sun Shichao turned around silently, "I'm leaving! If you really lose, I will carry the banner of the Sun family." ”

Looking at his son's distant back, the corners of Sun Jin's mouth showed a look of relief.

can arouse the fighting spirit of his son, and the goal has been achieved.

Although his son said that he was not Qiao Zhi's opponent, Sun Jin thought it was an exaggeration.

Although he rarely competes, he has never been afraid of anyone when it comes to cooking.

With nearly 30 years of experience in state banquets, the food he cooks has been praised by all kinds of people many times.

He didn't believe that a young man who had just graduated for two years, and who was not a culinary major, could overcome himself.

However, you have to be prepared for everything, and Sun Jin has already left a way out for himself.

Regardless of whether you win or lose, you will resign from your position, which can be regarded as a bad impact on this matter, and you will give an explanation.

Leaving the State Guesthouse does not mean that you are leaving the culinary industry.

Sun Jin's daughter is dabbling in a catering business, so he can spare more time to focus on assisting his daughter.

"Shichao came back just now?" Sun Jin's wife walked inside and walked out.

"Come back and get something and go. Sun Jin explained.

"Well, why didn't you keep him?" complained Sun Jin's wife, "for so many years, you have been too strict with his education. ”

Sun Jin said: "The son is not the fault of the father." If he hadn't been educated well, I would have been poked in the backbone in the end. ”
