Chapter 31: The Strong and the Weak

"Hello?" Fang Hong was lying on the sofa, teasing Wen'an, and when he saw the phone, he didn't save the number, so he picked it up very casually. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

As a result, hearing the first words of the other party, Fang Hong instantly sat up straight: "Master Shi...... Hello uncle! ”

In terms of Sichuan cuisine, it is mainly divided into three factions, Shanghe cuisine, Yanbang cuisine, and Xiahe cuisine.

Shanghe cuisine is divided into two factions, one is called banquet cuisine and the other is called home-cooked cuisine.

Of course, when it comes to this division, it is not necessary that chefs learn it this way, but in general, it is divided in this way.

The one who called is a legend in the history of Sichuan cuisine, since Luo Guorong, he is the first, and he belongs to the school of home cooking.

The time that this one became a chef is about the same as the time that Fang Hong's father Fang Shaowu has, but the difference between this one is that he is the live-action version of the little master.

This young man, at the beginning of the national recovery grade examination in all walks of life, participated in the assessment, and originally applied for the third-level chef himself, but his unit thought that he had the strength and should take the first-level exam, and that year's exam, he ranked third and became a first-class chef.

Subsequently, he transferred.

You heard it right, he transferred, a chef transferred.

That year, the Mianyang Hotel offered a sky-high price of 500,000 yuan and launched a transfer invitation to him, and the final price was 250,000 plus 25 tons of diesel.

The year was 1981, and the salary of the SC governor was 132 yuan, and the salary of the top scientist of the mianyang nuclear engineering was 140 yuan.

After so many years, prices have generally risen about a hundredfold. 500,000 back then is equal to 50 million now.

If one day there is news that a restaurant group has poached a chef from another restaurant company for 50 million yuan as compensation, then the news will make headlines.

This person's name is Shi Zhengliang.

Subsequently, at the end of the 80s, Shi Zhengliang became one of the top ten celebrity chefs in the country, began to conduct catering exchanges all over the world, and single-handedly promoted the reform of spicy and the birth of new Sichuan cuisine.

In other words, he single-handedly introduced Sichuan cuisine to the world.

"Master Fang, hello."

Fang Hong immediately got up: "Don't, fold your life, fold my life, in front of you, no one in the world dares to call me a master." ”

This sentence is true, about 20 years ago, when Master Shi's apprentice participated in the World Culinary Master Competition, he won the special gold medal.

"Haha, I won't tease you, it stands to reason that a few of us old guys should have gone when your dad died, but your dad told us not to go before he died, so I didn't go."

"You remember, it's a love."

Shi Zhengliang is a relatively funny person, he didn't graduate from elementary school because he was favored because of his cooking skills, and then he relied on his cooking skills to go up step by step in the system, relying on wisdom and humor, otherwise, when he was the section chief, those college students under his hands would obey his discipline?

"Uncle Shi, what's the matter with your personal call?" Department out of the same door, the world Sichuan kitchen is a family.

Shi Zhengliang: "That's right, there will be a World Culinary Competition at the end of this year. ”

Fang Hong: "Let me go?" ”

"Yes, there you go."

Fang Hong: "Uncle Shi, there are so many senior brothers, what are I going to do as a half-ass......

"I thought about it for a while, in the last few Chef Master Competitions, either a few other cuisines have gone, or a few of your senior brothers have gone, your banquet cuisine has never participated, I think your work in the past two years has been remarkable, it's time for that little thing to support the faΓ§ade." Under Shi Zhengliang's idea, Fang Hong went to win the championship, so it was almost equivalent to giving the gold medal.

Fang Hong: "This ...... There are more senior brothers in my faction, so why let me go. ”

Shi Zhengliang shook his head: "This time you can really only go, and no one else can go." ”

"What's new?"

"I don't know who came up with the idea that all the seasonings and main ingredients this time can't have semi-finished products, so I feel that it is aimed at us, and it will take a long time to go this time."

What is a semi-finished product, salt is the primary processing, dried chili is the primary processing, watercress is a natural material, watercress is a semi-finished product, kimchi is a semi-finished product, soy sauce is a semi-finished product, and oil is a semi-finished product.

"The organizers are crazy?" A cooking competition, where famous chefs from all over the world gather around to extract oil? Here the peanuts are crunchy, and where are the olives rattling?

"You didn't understand what I meant, the interpretation is in the hands of the organizers, do you understand?"

"You mean they're targeting us specifically?"

"That's what it means."

Fang Hong thought for a moment: "I'll solve this problem." ”

Shi Zhengliang: "You first say whether you are ready to go or not." ”

Fang Hong instantly understood what Shi Zhengliang meant.

Because in the two factions, they are very particular about the basic skills, but the basic skills of banquet dishes are even more exquisite, if Fang Hong goes, then everyone can play Yangmou, don't you want semi-finished products, let the news and public opinion come to vegetable oil, turn the sea water into semi-finished products, and then everyone will boil oil and salt and sugar together. If Fang Hong doesn't go, then let public opinion pressure to lift this restriction.

Fang Hong suddenly realized: "I understand, if you want to play, everyone is ...... By the way, where is the venue? ”

"French Metz."

"Everyone played in Mace for a month, I made bean paste, tempeh, brown sugar, boiled oil, and they also honestly made cheese, ham, and olive oil."

Shi Zhengliang: "Cheese is cheese, you have to call it cheese...... Okay, I'll just say yes. ”

Fang Hong clapped his hands: "It's interesting, let's have a big game together when the time comes." ”

Playing yin, than basic skills, than culture? you.

Thinking of the cooking competition at the end of the year, Fang Hong saw the world map hanging on the wall, so he hugged Fang Wen'an: "Come, point to one." ”

Three days later, the live broadcast was turned on again, and water friends poured in.

Fang Hong stood in a place surrounded by green trees.

"Brother Gun, is it rainforest again?"

Fang Hong looked at his jacket: "Your rainforest has long needles?" ”

"What is this?"

"Caucasus Mountains."

The Caucasus, the source of European culture, don't talk about Greece and Rome, Greece and Rome have been lost for many years.

"When I came here, I was reminded of the dispute some time ago."

Dispute between Latvia and Russia.

"At this point, I have to give you a general idea that the European cities we know are London, Paris, Berlin. This is not the case in Europe, though. Europeans and even Germans themselves consider Berlin to be a symbol of rudeness and barbarism, while Britain and France look down on each other, Paris is dirty and messy, and London is dangerous and gloomy, which is not so popular with Europeans. Europeans like Vienna, Warsaw, St. Petersburg, Hamburg. ”

"They all have one characteristic, which is that they used to represent European culture."

On the eve of the First World War, you dare not imagine those people in Vienna. World-famous musicians, poets and writers were all in Vienna, Moustache was studying the Viana exams, Starling was studying the Second International in Vienna, and Tito was repairing cars in Vienna. The key figures of the Second World War were trained in Vienna on the eve of the First World War.

Not to mention Warsaw, it was overshadowed, which led to the destruction and reconstruction of the whole city.

Hamburg became an industrial city, and St. Petersburg lost its glory after a long period of closure.

It was only after the Second World War that the European Cultural Center moved from Vienna to Paris.

"At this point, I have to think of some interesting things, such as the fact that before and after World War II, the territory of the destroyed Poland actually soared, for example, Russia and Germany lost a lot of land."

Some countries did not exist during World War II, such as Latvia, the famous cities of Riga and Liepaja, which were the mouth of the Baltic Sea during the Tsarist period, and the base of the struggle between Russia and Sweden for hegemony, leaving countless literary works.

For example, Ukraine has annexed a large amount of Polish territory and Poland has taken a large amount of German territory, and Prussia, the former industrial town and birthplace of Germany, is all in Poland, including the World War II command center of the mustache.

History has once again proved that the survival of the fittest is not the survival of the strong, and although some countries are cheap, they are lucky. That's right, it's Poland, Poland is a small European flea, far more annoying than France, the anti-China pioneer.

"Brother Gun, which country are you in the Caucasus Mountains now?"

"I'm on the Black Sea side, I'm on the Caspian Sea side, and when I get there, I'll start a different second half."

"And secrecy?"

"Confidentiality."
