Chapter 433: Ready to Go
"Uh...... That's the way it is. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Liu Mang said as he scooped out a bowl of steaming chicken soup from a clay pot and delivered it to Li Ruonan.
Poria Angelica Chicken, this is a medicinal diet that nourishes qi and nourishes blood on the "Medical Food Heart Sutra". Recently, Liu Mang saw that Li Ruonan's face was a little pale, and it was estimated that he had stayed up too late and lacked qi and blood, so he had been making this medicinal diet for the past few days to help her make up for it.
This soup Liu Mang uses black-bone chicken raised in space, accompanied by Poria cocos, angelica, and old ginseng and boiled for seven or eight hours over a slow fire, which is absolutely fragrant and full of strong affection.
Li Ruonan took a sip of chicken soup and smacked his lips: "It just so happens that I have a cooperation with Jones to discuss, and Mr. Gu Wei also needs to go and see, we can go." ”
"There's no way, I'm wearing the hat of the kitchen god now, and I must also bear the corresponding responsibility. This trip to the United States is a must-go, and the things at home can only be watched by Xiao Wuduo. ”
"By the way, if you are asked to be the leader of this World Heritage application, the others have no opinion, right?" Li Ruonan asked again.
"President Tan said that there is not much opinion, mainly because the chefs who went to the United States this time are many of our old acquaintances. ”
"Old acquaintance?" Li Ruonan was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "You mean these chefs have all participated in this chef competition, right?"
"Well, that's right. This was also specially arranged by President Tan. ”
"Tan Shi arranged it?" Li Ruonan laughed: "It seems that he is also an old fox, most of these people have seen your cooking skills, and some of them have been defeated by you." They should be more convincing than those who are pretentious. ”
"Actually, these are not problems, the biggest question is what kind of approach should we take for this World Heritage application?" Liu Mang scratched his head: "When I think of this, I have a headache, Chinese cuisine is too complicated, but I don't know what to apply for." ”
"Take it easy and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Li Ruonan put down the soup bowl and walked over to help Liu Mang pinch his shoulder: "Anyway, it hasn't been successful in the past, so you should be able to accumulate experience for future generations." ”
"Ruonan, is it really difficult for Chinese food to be inscribed on the World Heritage List? Are there any other difficulties besides our own reasons?"
"Yes, the biggest challenge is influence. ”
"Influence: The influence of Chinese food in the world is okay, at least far stronger than Korean kimchi? Even they can apply successfully, why can't we?"
"Do you know what South Korea did in order to apply for kimchi as a World Heritage Site?"
"What to do?"
"KOREAN AUTHORITIES FIRST RENAMED THIS KIMCHI "KIMCHI" IN ORDER TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR FOREIGNERS TO PRONOUNCE IT. It then took three months to shoot a special promotional film, and spent a lot of money on advertising in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and other media outlets. The two spokespersons of Korean kimchi, one is a university professor and the other is a famous Korean actor, and it is said that when the famous actor Kim Kunjin endorses, not a penny of endorsement fees will be confiscated. ”
"Isn't that just hype? Liu Mang was also a little disdainful.
"It's hype! Sometimes hype is a way to get there. The reason why Chinese catering is not as good as Dongying's 'Japanese food' and French cuisine in France abroad is also due to the lack of hype and publicity. This time, Chairman Tan Shi wanted to display Chinese food at the United Nations headquarters, which was actually a kind of propaganda. ”
"I probably understand a little bit, and the smell of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. ”
"I have an idea. Li Ruonan turned around and stood in front of Liu Mang: "It just so happened that Mr. Gu Wei asked us to solve the problem of Asian carp this time, if we can come up with a solution, Chinese food will definitely become famous." If you go to the World Heritage Site again, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be more useful than any publicity. ”
"That's a way to do it. Liu Mang nodded and agreed: "Asian carp and Chinese food can actually be done together. ”
A week later, in the box of an international hotel in the magic capital......
"Master Liu Mang, it's been a long time!" an old man with a kind face greeted Liu Mang.
"Master Yu Yang, you're here too. Liu Mang was very pleasantly surprised.
This Yu Yang's strength is not bad, and he competed with Liu Mang to make river fresh last time in the Chef God Competition. also scolded Liu Mang because he put the puffer fish liver and eyeballs into the dish.
"Yes, yes, yes! The 'braised puffer fish' made by Master Liu Mang last time still makes me remember it to this day. ”
"If Master Yu Yang wants to eat it, I'll make one right away. I just don't know if there are suitable ingredients in the back kitchen of this hotel. ”
"Haha, no hurry!
"Hello, Master Liu. A middle-aged man in a tunic with a long beard walked over.
"Hello, Master Kong. ”
This person's name is Kong Ruixiang, who is the heir of Confucius's family cuisine and one of the top four in the Chef God Competition.
Although he was defeated by Luo Badao last time, his 'one hatching and two phoenixes' was really amazing and impressed Liu Mang.
"Master Liu, you are powerful in Dongying and sweeping the Dongying cuisine world, which really boosts the ambition of our Chinese!" Kong Ruixiang was a little excited: "I can go to the United States with you this time and cook for those foreign devils, but I have a lot of bleeding in exchange." ”
"Bullshit hemorrhage!" Tan Shi on the side heard their conversation and looked angry: "Old Kong, isn't it just two jars of 'drunken spring breeze'? Your Kong family has opened a winery, do you still care about these two jars of wine?"
"Old Tan, that's not an ordinary 'drunken spring breeze', but a full eighty years of aging! Even our Kong family has only that...... So some. ”
"Don't think I don't know, how many are some? I'm afraid there are still hundreds of altars, right? You feel so distressed that you just send two altars? ”
Tan Shi and Kong Ruixiang had an obviously good relationship, and they laughed and scolded each other.
"By the way, President Tan, didn't Master He Donglin come this time?" Liu Mang looked into the box, but didn't see He Donglin, so he asked.
In Liu Mang's eyes, He Donglin is the strongest player in this Chef God Competition except for Lin Xiao. His knife skills, as well as his cooking skills, are all admired by Liu Mang.
"Master He, I invited him, but now that he has retired, he can't even find anyone, so he has to do it. ”
"Oh. Liu Mang was a little disappointed in his heart.
There are more than 30 chefs from Shandong, Sichuan, Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hunan and Hui, as well as two pastry chefs, who are responsible for making Chinese dim sum.
Li Ruonan and Lin Xiao are going to go to the United States together this time. Originally, Liu Mang wanted to call Buyu and Han Shaobai, but the two old men only threw down one sentence - believe you! You must do it!
"Let's rest here for the day today, and we'll board the plane early tomorrow morning. Tan Shi announced.
