Chapter 882: Abducting a French chef

Seeing that the chef said so, Jiang Chen had no choice but to take it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info then took two glasses from the table and poured some into the wine net glasses. Putting down the wine bottle, Jiang Chen picked up one of the wine glasses and handed them to the chef and said, "Thank you for the wine, I think this first glass should be shared with its original owner." ”

Haha, the chef took the wine glass, shook it for a while, then sniffed it and tasted it again, showing an expression of enjoyment, and smiled at Jiang Chen: "You know that chefs are forbidden to drink alcohol when cooking, because wine will numb the taste buds on people's tongues. But I made an exception today because I met a friend who was actually able to taste the bottle. ”

Jiang Chen also followed the example of the chef, shook the wine glass, and a faint fragrance hit. Swallowing another sip of wine, the wine rolled twice on Jiang Chen's tongue, allowing his taste buds to fully feel the taste of the wine. Finally, when I swallow it all, a faint fragrance immediately lingers in it, making people have an endless aftertaste. After a long time, Jiang Chen broke away his glasses and looked at the chef and said with a smile: "The smell is fragrant, the taste is slightly sour, slightly sweet, and the liquid is silky, which makes people have an endless aftertaste." ”

"Hahahaha, I really didn't mistake your friend, you are really a rare person who knows how to eat. The chef patted Jiang Chen on the shoulder and said excitedly.

"You've won the prize, I've only scratched the surface. But Mr. Chef, since you gave me this bottle, can I make it up to me to let everyone else taste this rare wine? Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The chef looked at the expectant crowd and then nodded and smiled, "Of course, it's yours now, and you have the right to dispose of it." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chef. Jiang Chen smiled and said, "You gave me a bottle of good wine, but I don't have any gifts like you right now." But if you can go to our country, I invite you to taste the authentic Chinese food, I am sure you will enjoy it. ”

"Hahahaha, I'm very interested in food, not to mention Chinese food, which is as famous as French food. Actually, I've always wanted to learn some Chinese food recipes, which will help me improve my cooking skills, and I'm looking forward to your invitation, man. The chef was pleased.

"Oh, that's it?" Jiang Chen nodded, then took the notebook, then found a blank piece of paper and wrote down the contact number and address, then tore it off and handed it to the chef with a smile: "This has my phone number here, as well as my address and phone number in our country." If you really want to learn Chinese food, I suggest you go to its hometown, which is where Chinese food originated, so that you can learn more authentic Chinese food. Did you know that my wife is the owner of a hotel chain, and I'm sure she'll be very happy if you visit us. ”

"Oh, really, that's great, man, you really surprised me. Really, I've been waiting for such an opportunity, you know I'm not familiar with the East, so I haven't left for it. The chef gave Jiang Chen a hug and said excitedly.

"Hi, hey, man, calm. Jiang Chen hurriedly pushed him away and said with a smile: "In this way, I still have something to do, you contact me another day, and we will discuss it in detail." ”

"Okay, thank you, man, I'll get in touch. Saying that, the chef gave Jiang Chen another hug, then took care of everyone and went to the stove to get busy.

And Jiang Chen didn't expect that this chef would actually contact Jiang Chen the next day. And Jiang Chen really met him in a café and discussed and learned a lot. It turned out that this chef was a well-known chef in France, who had worked in a number of five-star hotels as executive chef. Later, he felt that this position could not improve his culinary skills, so he quit his job and joined Le Cordon Bleu, where he devoted himself to the study of French cuisine or cooking in addition to his daily teaching. Gradually, he felt that it was too limiting to limit his cooking skills to French food. So he learned several other dishes, but none of them were very rational. It wasn't until he knew and tasted the Chinese food that he was absolutely sure that it was exactly what he had been longing for. However, during this period, there were not many immigrants in us, and most of the Chinese restaurants in Europe came to Europe before the founding of the People's Republic of China. So the chef planned to go to distant Asia, to see the birthplace of Chinese food. But we have never had this opportunity, because although our country is now open, it is not as integrated into the world as it is in later generations. So it's not easy to go there, so it's been put on hold. Unexpectedly, he met Jiang Chen today and was invited by him, which he never expected.

And this chef finally accepted Jiang Chen's invitation and brought a few assistants and apprentices who were willing to go to the East with him to our country. Under Wei Lingling's arrangement, this chef became an executive chef of the western restaurant of the Beijing hotel chain under Xingmin Company, on the one hand, he ran the western restaurant and taught some apprentices who were willing to learn Western food from him, and on the other hand, he learned Chinese food from the chef of the Chinese restaurant, and since then he has been fascinated by the broad and profound Chinese food. In the end, he even took his family to China, and stayed in China until he was old. Eventually, he became one of the first immigrants to obtain citizenship in our country after the introduction of immigration policies in our country. And this restaurant has also become our first three-star restaurant in China. Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it now.

Jiang Chen shared the wine with everyone, and those old beauties, who were a little arrogant at the beginning, became enthusiastic one by one after drinking it. For them, it's definitely a treat, and of course I don't know if they can taste the difference in this wine, or if it's a brand mentality. And Deputy Director Song and they are not used to it, except for the two girls who accompany them, they are not used to drinking. On the contrary, the jar of old rice wine brought by Vincent in Italy, basically this wine was also divided by them.

After the meal, the group had a brief meeting, but none of them mentioned the previous differences. It's about finding common ground and agreeing points, which is also a negotiation technique that makes contract negotiations successful. That is, when the mutual trust and friendship between the two sides have not deepened, first look for the common ground between the two sides, that is, the terms that both parties agree on. Then from easy to difficult, gradually overcome, that is, to reach an agreement. Leave the big differences at the end and overcome them when the time comes, which is conducive to the conclusion and signing of the contract.

However, it seems that there are really not many points that the two sides can agree on now, and the differences between the two sides are still obvious. And there are some things that everyone can't answer immediately, so this first contact negotiation will be over, and there will be no practical point in going on. After agreeing on the time for the next meeting, Jiang Chen and Vincent said goodbye to them, and then drove back to the city. (To be continued.) )
