Chapter 100: Apprenticeship
Just when Li Qingming was about to say his plan, suddenly Sun Zhengyi strode over, pounced, knelt in front of Li Qingming, kowtowed and admitted his mistake, "Master Li Qingming, I was wrong, I shouldn't be interested in it, intending to get involved in the authentic golden fried rice." I know that I am wrong, and I ask Master Li to take me as an apprentice and tell me how to make a bowl of golden fried rice!
Everyone was stunned! Is Son Masayoshi crazy? Is he crazy! He is an international celebrity chef who worships a young man in his twenties who has no chef qualifications as his teacher, and he still follows him forever? You must know that this kind of vow cannot be made, and once it is made, it cannot be betrayed in the future. Once betrayed, the entire Federation will be spurned. Including Michelin will block it in all directions. It can be said that once Son Zhengyi apprentices, he can only walk in the culinary world as Li Qingming's apprentice in this life.
Any other identity is not recognized by the outside world.
Li Qingming was also stunned, this was really a bit unexpected to him.
Jiang Fugui's face was angry, this Sun Zhengyi still has a shameless face, is he crazy! He actually worships Li Qingming as a teacher!
"Sun Zhengyi, if you stand up for me, won't you lose once, as long as you develop new dishes, you can't turn defeat into victory!" Jiang Fugui roared.
Sun Zhengyi knelt down like this, in case he said everything, Jiang Fugui would not be finished. Although Michelin is only a food connoisseur institution, its rights are enormous. Because, he is the only institution that faces the entire federation. It is impossible for any other consortium to have a huge influence in the entire federation and all cities, except for 'Michelin'.
Perhaps, 'Michelin' does not have much influence on the super consortium of the top 500 in the Federation. But it is not difficult to deal with Jiang Fugui. Especially, he meddled in the food. In this regard, 'Michelin' has a reverse scale.
Food is food. There is no room for contamination.
"Mr. Jiang, this is what I did alone, and it has nothing to do with you. Sun Zhengyi glanced at Jiang Fugui, and then looked at Li Qingming, "I know that Master Li has doubts in his heart, but please believe in my sincerity." The master also said that your food not only does not lie, but also touches people's hearts. I'm one of those people you've been touched!"
Li Qingming was speechless by this sentence.
What is this guy's intentions?
"Chef Li, if he is really honest and repentant, and you take him as an apprentice, it will also be a beautiful talk. As for saying that he betrayed you, we 'Michelin' can assure you that if he chooses to betray you, there will be absolutely no place for him in the entire Federation. As long as he worships you as a teacher, then the only way for him to get out of your door is to formally apply to us 'Michelin', and we will decide. Otherwise, any betrayal will be punished by us!" suggested the three Michelin connoisseurs.
"As for whether he has ulterior motives, it seems to us that he has no other way out than to take refuge in you now, which is the best way out for him. He is now unable to survive in the culinary world, and he can no longer rely on his cooking skills to survive. And he has no other survival skills, and his life will be extremely miserable. Staying by your side is his best way out at the moment. The Michelin leader said bluntly.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with them. However, if it is really a bowl of rice that has influenced a food avenue that deceives the world and steals its name, and this propaganda is publicized, it will definitely cause a sensation in the entire federation. Then for this bowl of 'golden fried rice', it will be even more famous.
As for what is good for Michelin, quite simply, they don't need any benefits. The monthly 'Michelin Food Appreciation' is their biggest source of income. With such stories, not only will their magazines sell better, but they will also be more influential.
It's mutually reinforcing.
"Please be fulfilled by the little master. I don't want to know what it takes to make a good meal!"
Li Qingming is still a little uncertain, according to his thoughts, such a dangerous thing should be ruled out. However, seeing the repeated recommendations of the three Michelin connoisseurs, I thought that I still had to ask them after all, so Li Qingming thought about it and could only agree.
"I can promise you. I don't put up any shelves, and I will teach you how to cook. However, until I know if you are faithful, I will not teach you any cooking!" Li Qingming commanded.
"Thank you, Master, I will definitely prove my loyalty with my actions!" Son stood up with a grateful face.
As Michelin said, he had no choice. Therefore, he decisively abandoned all dignity and chose to take refuge in Li Qingming. Of course, the explosion of 'golden fried rice' is also a very important reason.
Over the years, he has been able to focus on being a chef, and he is very devout in his cooking. Therefore, he has developed many techniques, such as flipping the spoon, which is also useful in fried chicken. By flipping the spoon, the fried chicken or fries can be heated more evenly under the flow rate of the air, and the taste is better and softer, which he calls 'oil control'. It's his own approach.
It's a pity, it's useless! It's not a dish innovation. This 'oil control technique' will not bring him additional income. On the contrary, it was plagiarized by some people, and it was useless to complain to 'Michelin'. He thinks that he is no worse than others, but over the years, although he is not poor, he is not rich, and he is sorry for his cooking skills.
As the days accumulated, he lost his normal heart. was persuaded by Jiang Fugui to have this plagiarism. Now that he has been seized, in desperation, the utilitarian heart chooses to take refuge in Li Qingming, which also makes him wake up.
"That, uncle, otherwise, you can also accept me as an apprentice. But I'm going to be a senior sister!" The little girl suddenly jumped out and said, "It's fun to have such a junior brother!"
Li Qingming looked strange. This kid has a strange feeling all over his body, why do you have to rely on yourself? Spy? This is impossible, who would send such a little girl to be a spy. A little girl who ran away from home? But isn't that all about going to the parents? Thinking about it, there is only one possibility, that is, a rebellious rich second generation. It is only in this possibility that such a little girl will appear.
However, Li Qingming didn't want to get into trouble. God knows, what kind of trouble will get in.
"No, you're only a few years old, so you should be a senior sister. If you want to be a junior sister, at most, it will be a junior sister! And in the future, you have to listen to the master, once you apprentice, then the master has the final say!" Li Qingming had a straight face, ready to scare her away.
A rich second-generation family, a rebellious little girl, how can she suffer.
Liu Chang was on the side and took a long breath. He vaguely guessed the identity of the little girl. But I don't dare to confirm because it's scary. If it's that one, it's really troublesome. Because, no one knows which one wants to do what. You say that she is pure nonsense, but every time she ends up making people who look down on her a big surprise.
But every time I do something, it really makes people laugh and cry.
This time, Li Qingming directly refused, so it couldn't be better. Otherwise, he didn't know how to stop it. Just say its name, it's not good, it's going to turn your face. Children have a heart, and when they say they turn their faces, they turn their faces. That's the end of the day.
But, who would have predicted!
