Chapter 63: The Kimchi Controversy

Since the spring breeze of reform ~ reform has been blowing, foreign businesses that can rarely be seen in China have also appeared in the land of China like toads after the rain, squatting everywhere to grab territory, making domestic merchants complain bitterly, and have to exclaim that Wang ~ Eight is coming.

The catering industry was originally the least affected, and the Westerners' set of red wine and Western food is also suitable for pretending~ force, but it is not very suitable for the appetite of Chinese people. It wasn't until the emergence of the island country and the north and south stick cuisine that the domestic counterparts felt threatened.

Among them, the biggest threat is to take advantage of the trend of 'stick flow' to rush to land in China, this kind of cuisine system that draws the essence of island countries and Chinese cuisine, with a strong flavor of kimchi and barbecue, seems to be following the entertainment, clothing, cosmetics and other popular fields, and once again sweeping the Chinese market.

Diagonally opposite the old local head office is the 'Changjin Hotel' opened by Nanbang in Chudu. With the influence of a certain TV series and the support of stick stream fans, this five-star hotel has been strong ~ tight, and even the 'Dulaile', which has been upgraded to a five-star hotel years ago, has been suppressed by it, not to mention the old place that was once just a mid-to-high-end hotel.

Zhang Zhao upgraded to five-star this time, and he also held his breath to break his wrist with the 'Changjin Hotel'. It's just that I didn't expect that the stick would look at the rules of Huaxia Qinxing like his own underwear ~ pants, and before he could develop it, he launched a challenge according to the rules. Although the threshold of the rivers and lakes in the 21st century has been lowered a lot, Chudu is not a Jinmen with many mixed stars; if Zhang Zhao does not accept the challenge, he will not be squeezed out of the industry by his peers like the old man; but Zhang Zhao just can't swallow this breath, and he can't afford to lose this person!

What's more, even if he is willing to admit it, if he lets Old Man Cao know about this, he will be furious, and if he provokes this old ancestor, Zhang Zhao will never think of the idea of fighting Jingbang cuisine in his life, and Old Man Cao will pass on the pig and the dog, and he will never pass it on to him.

So no matter what, Zhang Zhao has to fight, and he has to win!

When Zhou Yi drove the Land Rover to the parking lot of the old place, he saw Zhang Zhao standing on the steps in front of the door, putting on a canopy with his hand and posing as a 'big brother' and watched anxiously. Seeing Zhou Yi's car at a glance, the goods jumped over in a few arrows, pulled the car door, and said eagerly: "Brother, you are finally here, but you are not in a hurry to kill me."

"Calm, calm, Brother Zhang. ”

Zhou Yi glanced at Zhang Zhao in some surprise. The dignified Chu capital tycoon and man of the hour, shouldn't he be so breathless, doing 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 obviously a crisp autumn weather, but Zhang Zhao was sweating finely: "The stick is too good." This competition was originally just a competition in the industry, and at most the representatives of the major hotels in Chudu came to watch, but Bangzi actually invited the famous gourmets in the provincial capital and the 'flower-eating' Yang Cai of Zhounan Daily, and he also invited two special cooking masters from Nanbang to be judges. ”

Zhang Zhao gritted his teeth as he spoke, this is the hatred of the three rivers and the four seas, the hatred of the five lakes and the eight wildernesses

"Since there is a competition, there is always a judge. However, it alarmed the judges of the provincial capital and South Goryeo, which is a bit unkind."

Zhou Yi also frowned slightly, Yang Cai and Chang Aiguo he had seen at the banquet, one actually won the reputation of eating flowers with 'exquisite fragrant tongue', representing the press;

Glancing at Zhang Zhao, Zhou Yi chuckled and said, "Brother Zhang, this is not the place to talk, let's talk about it in your office, don't you have to worry too much, am I not here?"

"That's right, it's my brother, I'm too anxious, let you laugh, brother. Let's go to my office, let's make a pot of tea and talk while drinking."

The so-called expansion of the old local head office was basically to tear down and rebuild on the original land, and a large-scale demolition was carried out for this purpose. With a square covering an area of 1,500 square meters, a 20-meter-high light fountain, the erection of the national flag, the building is as high as 18 floors, the upper nine floors of accommodation, the lower nine floors of catering, just looking at this financial situation, Zhou Yi knows that although Zhang Zhao's company has not yet been listed, it can also be ranked among the top ten in Chudu.

The old place and the Changjin restaurant have the same strategic thinking, which is to attract consumers with excellent dishes. Therefore, catering has become the top priority, and it is no wonder that Zhang Zhao attaches so much importance to this competition.

After the two took the elevator to the chairman's office on the eighteenth floor, Zhang Zhao's life secretary with a double temperament of a sexy royal sister and innocent Lori was about to open his mouth delicately, but was interrupted by Zhang Zhao: "I have something to talk about with my buddies, you go out first." By the way, let the back kitchen send a jar of pickles made by Chef Yun."

"Yes, chairman!" The beautiful secretary glanced at Zhang Zhao with infinite resentment, and went out with a twist.

"Brother, taste my twenty-year-old Chen Pu'er, the fragrance of tea is out"

Putting Zhou Yi on the sofa, Zhang Zhao took the tea set and poured him a cup with his own hands, but 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, although your cooking skills are great, can you make kimchi?"

"Kimchi, isn't it better than kimchi in Changjin Restaurant?"

Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Zhang Zhao was so worried. Although there are many great chefs in China, when it comes to kimchi, it may not be the opponent of the stick, and there is a specialization in the art industry.

"Isn't that it?"

Zhang Zhao shook his head and said: "This is also the rule of diligence, the challenger is a guest, and he can point out the content of the game; these sticks are cunning, they are actually better than pickles! Although this thing is a small way, it is also a vegetable? Brother Zhang, I really can't refuse."

"That's it. Zhou Yi also nodded: "If only we didn't have kimchi in Huaxia." But we also have kimchi in Huaxia, and kimchi in Sichuan Province is also prestigious, if you refuse, I am afraid that the stick will make a big fuss again, saying that we are afraid of him. ”

"Well, brother, I also think that you can't lose your power if you're embarrassed, so I agreed."

Zhang Zhao smiled bitterly: "But then I regretted it." Brother, you also know, if we Huaxia say that it is more than a big dish, I am afraid that we will not be able to take out tens of thousands of famous dishes to smash the small stick, but when it comes to this kimchi, it is really a little difficult to take it."

Zhou Yi nodded. Zhang Zhao is right, although the kimchi in Sichuan Province is not famous, but when it comes to types and tastes, it is relatively simple, and it is naturally not as good as the main dish that has been used as the main dish for thousands of years, and occasionally eating a meal of meat is the same stick as the New Year. After thousands of years of development, people are a kind of big jar bubble, a kind of small jar bubble, a kind of red pepper bubble, a kind of green pepper bubble, a kind of spoon clockwise stirring, and a kind of counterclockwise stirring, there are thousands of kinds!

There are thousands of big dishes in China, but people have thousands of kinds of kimchi! Now you have to take off the old cotton jacket on your body, and compare the thickness and length of your underwear ~ pants, this is not a cunning and cunning drop, or what?

Seeing that Zhou Yi didn't speak, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Brother, you don't have to be embarrassed." Fortunately, my current head chef is proficient in the three major cuisines of Luchuan and Guangdong, and he has already tried to make kimchi, and I can taste it. I invite you to come this time, brother, and I also want you to help me taste it and see if there is room for improvement."
