Tang Hai looked at the Frenchman, and a smile appeared on his face when he saw an old acquaintance.

This Frenchman is about fifty or sixty years old, his eyes are a little wide, he looks a little weird, he doesn't look handsome, and he is generally a relatively ordinary person.

If he didn't have those eyes, Tang Hai would really not be easy to recognize him.

But his identity is not ordinary, the owner of a rubber processing company!

Tang Hai also knows his other identity, a great gourmet! And it's very close to Michelin!

In 1900, Michelin Tyre Company created a car service related to the 'Restaurant Guide', which is also called the Red Book because of the red cover. There is also a travel and accommodation guide, which is the green book.

The Red Book re-rates restaurants every year or a year and a half.

Initially, according to customer feedback, popularity, etc., restaurants, restaurants, hotels, etc., will be tasted and rated, from one pair of knives and forks to five pairs, the more knives and forks represent the more worth eating.

After reaching the fifth pair, there will be a professional food detective to eat.

The selection requirements are very strict, and there are strict requirements for hygiene, environment, food health, service, etc., which is the entry point for the selection.

But the real star rating is still based on the food.

The first requirement is quality, including taste and health.

The second requirement is innovation, and the crab legs and crab balls in Tanghai's flagship store are innovative products, and no one has imitated them at present.

The third requirement is stability.

You can't come today to eat the delicious food, and tomorrow you will feel average. Tang Hai knows a few veteran one-star chefs, and they don't use the first best to select materials, but use the second best, and they have been rated one star for several consecutive years, which can still be popular.

No matter how you rank the world's food system, the top three definitely have French cuisine.

Many French restaurant chefs receive a call for a single reservation, and they feel like they are facing a big enemy, like a Chinese student taking the college entrance examination, that is, a gourmand waiting for a tasting. Food detectives have to keep their identities a secret, but there are also those who are seen.

Even if it's a one-star chef. It also hosts at least 12 gourmets a year.

France, which is famous for its food, has only 20 restaurants with three Michelin ratings, and there are only 60 or 70 restaurants in the world, and the top chefs with three Michelin stars are just that. Each of them will be regarded as a culinary god in the local area.

The two-star ones are at least giant pandas in cities with a population of one million.

For example, in the huge China, only Hong Kong and Macao are currently included in the Red Book, and the imperial capital and the magic capital are not yet available.

There are many branches opened by three-star Michelin and two-star chefs in the magic capital, which are just branch chains, and a restaurant without a star chef cannot be a star restaurant. Even if there is a star chef in charge, the food or other food does not meet the requirements, not only will the restaurant not be able to rate the star, but the chef may also be demoted.

Chefs who can be rated as stars are not only highly skilled and stable, but also have extremely strong confidence in their cooking skills, and there are suicides who have been demoted.

The restaurant competitiveness of the star chef is definitely the strongest in the region. The more famous Yang Zijiang Hotel was originally supported by star chefs. A restaurant in the Xiangjiang area, because the chef has rated one star for five consecutive years, the business is so hot that it drives a street to prosper.

Top chefs can even attract top rich people, so that the rich come to a lot. The club was formed, and the chef did only have food in his eyes, but the chef's family used their brains, which may be a road to wealth.

The reason why Tang Hai's cooking skills are at today's level is not only that he has been studying very hard, but also because he has learned some small skills from many people, such as the French three-star brother behind the Sixth Sense Restaurant in the French Pavilion of the Expo Park in the Magic City, and one of the four three-star chefs in Spain......

Tang Hai had seen them all at the exchange meeting, or asked something, or overheard something. Then there were many adventures, and he practiced his skills.

Tang Hai himself estimated that he was originally a two-star, and now he must be a three-star.

One star restaurant. Don't miss it when you walk by.

Two-star restaurant, you must go to eat once when you travel.

Three-star restaurant, even if you take a plane in your free time, you have to eat, otherwise you will have regrets.

The reason why Tang Hai affirmed that he had two stars at the beginning was because he had been rated......

"I can't believe that you are really the apprentice I saw at that time. When I saw it in the news, I just felt like ......" The Frenchman looked at Tang Hai in astonishment, and then smiled again, "There is no need to change people, ordinary restaurants can't buy me, and there will be a lot of food detectives coming over one after another, and my opinion alone is useless." ”

"So what do you want to do?"

"Shrimp dumplings, crystal wontons, spicy crab."

Tang Hai could hear the movements in his hands, it was these three dishes!

"What, are there no ingredients? Do you have recipes here? ”

Tang Hai did have a recipe here, but he already vaguely knew what the other party was thinking......

"There was excellent dough, shrimp crab and pork, all kinds of vegetables were available, if the guests don't mind waiting for ......"

"I don't mind, some meals will have a lingering aftertaste after eating them once, even if you have to wait two years, it's worth it to eat them again." The French mean something.

Tang Hai smiled, there are indeed many gourmets in France, and their words are very exaggerated, Lao Luo said that it was a regret of his life, this is a political show to win over Chinese-Americans, but this person in front of him is definitely not.

In addition to the identity of the rubber king, this person is also a gourmet, he doesn't just know how to eat, and often appears on shows or publishes books......

That's right! Publish a book!

There are actually very few gourmets who make money just by eating, some of them are on the show and publish books, and some of them even open their own restaurants!

For example, Joe Lubçon, the first chef in France, whose father was a construction worker and his mother was a cleaner, went to a restaurant as an apprentice at the age of 15, and became a three-star chef within a few years, and soon he was dissatisfied with himself, and closed his restaurant, and when he had a new idea, he opened many restaurants in a row, and finally opened 16 restaurants around the world!

Each one of them is a star, and he has been rated as the 'Chef of the Century' by his competitors with a total of 28 stars!

Before Tang Hai obtained superpowers and enhanced his sense of smell and taste, no one was convinced, so he was only convinced by this rubise!

There are also some foodies who love to eat as a hobby and may rely on shows or writing food guides to make a living, or they may simply be a hobby and don't cook themselves......

Tang Hai mixed the stuffing there to make shrimp dumplings, stood very straight, pinched little by little, and put the bottom in the palm of his hand from time to time to preheat, which is the skill of drinking red wine in a potbelly cup.

"You know what, Mr. Tang." Speaking of this, the Frenchman paused, when he saw Tang Hai before, he always called Tang Hai a junior apprentice and an attendant, and he was really not used to changing his words at this time, "What I wanted to be the most when I was a child was a chef, because I could eat delicious food non-stop." ”

"Hehe, that's not good, high-quality food represents health, we won't eat indiscriminately, if we eat chubby, how can guests trust us." Tang Hai replied with a smile, and said, "Actually, when I was a teenager, I also had a wish to write a book, become a writer, or just become a chef without being short of money, like you." ”

"Mr. Tang is interested in writing?"

"A writer can control the development of a person's mind, while a chef can control a person's physical health. I didn't have the talent to do the first point, but fortunately I did the second point, and I have no regrets about my career. ”
