Zhou Xuan's work went very smoothly, and he quickly got along with other chefs in the kitchen and exchanged some experiences. These people all know that he is an athlete, and in order to make money, he comes to make guest appearances as chefs, and it is impossible to grab a job, so there is no conflict of interest. Everyone saw him as an amazing young man.

Beicheng has to prepare a charity party, and the food should be as rich as possible, and then the rich people can be ready to pay for it.

It has been said that charity is a manifestation of the maturity of a nation. There are three distribution processes of social wealth, one is to work more and get more, which is now encouraged by most countries; Second, the state mainly takes out a part of the rich people for public construction and management through taxation; Third, the rich help the poor through charity. If there are no latter two ways, it will inevitably lead to an excessively large gap between the rich and the poor, so encouraging charity and improving the charity mechanism is an effective way for a country to maintain stability, especially in capitalist countries.

Many Chinese yearn for the United States, which they find democratic and freer. Mitchell. Butler's view is completely different, this native American sees the United States as black, and there are black scenes everywhere. Many of the Chinese who have migrated to live here are also unaccustomed to water and soil, and their quality of life is very poor.

In Mitchell's view, philanthropy is a means for the rich to evade taxes. The tax law in the United States is quite complex, with many clauses and countless details, and if the rich want to "evade taxes", they must hire the best tax lawyers and accountants to find the gray area of the law. Mitchell knows a friend who does this kind of work. Wall Street's financial derivatives are one of the ways for the rich to "evade taxes". Charity is also, several charitable funds in Africa, dedicated to helping African countries build schools, hospitals. His friend's task was to tailor a 10-year contract for him - an equity income swap contract - to "evade taxes" of $50 million.

Wealthy Americans donate huge amounts of wealth, and like the general public, they don't want to be "taxed". In June 2006, Warren Buffett, the super-wealthy man, donated his holdings to five charitable foundations, amounting to about $37.5 billion. The five charitable foundations are Bill & Melinda. Gates Foundation, named after Warren Buffett's late wife, "Susan." Thompson. The Warren Buffett Foundation and its three children are charitable foundations. Some say it's fame-seeking, others say it's a tax evasion trick, but in any case the philanthropic work they are engaged in has already been carried out. This year, Warren Buffett revealed that he pays less personal income tax to the government every year than his secretary.

The party was held in a mansion in the world-famous Beverly Hills. A dream place for the world's richest people, it sits on a hillside on the edge of the Los Angeles Basin in the United States, with buildings built against the Beverly Hills and facing the endless Pacific Ocean. There are very expensive shopping areas, legendary hotels, fancy restaurants and popular movie and TV stars! And the price of real estate here is also astronomical. In 2008, the world's most expensive mansion was located on Fleur DeLys Street in Beverly Hills, asking for $125 million.

At night, the lights are brilliant and the scene is extremely lively. Zhou Xuan didn't see anyone he knew after he arrived by car, of course there were many celebrities, but he didn't know what to do. He entered the ballroom in a sportswear and attracted a lot of attention, and quickly walked through the hall, where someone was waiting for him and led him into the kitchen.

"I'm sorry, I don't know the way, I'm a little late, I should have taken your car out of the house if I knew the road." Zhou Xuan was embarrassed. He practiced shooting for a while, and then went home to take a shower and change his clothes.

"Zhou Xuan, just Megan. Fowles is smiling at you, why don't you respond? Zhao Gangsheng, a young Chinese man who was working in the kitchen, said with a wry smile.

"Who is she? I didn't pay attention. ”

"You didn't pay attention to such a big beauty? Don't you know the way of "Transformers"? She is the heroine in it. Zhao Gangsheng was surprised.

"Of course I know about 'Transformers,' but isn't that a cartoon? Could it be that she voiced Optimus Prime's wife? After Zhou Xuan arrived in the United States, he didn't care about those English-only American blockbusters at all.

"......" Zhao Gangsheng almost fell into the oil pot, causing a tragedy in the world. He suddenly remembered Spark, Kirk, Star Trek, and Zhou Xuan simply came to Earth after passing through a black hole on a starship. There are very few people in Los Angeles who don't know Meghan. Fox.

Megan. Fox is also depressed. Her delicate and very special appearance comes from a mixture of Irish, French and Cherokee blood. Today, his trademark charming smile was actually ignored, and his friend Jennifer beside him. Blank asked, "Who was that just now?" I saw you smile at him. ”

"I don't know what to do, maybe it's the son of a big man who sent him to study abroad, right?" Megan Fox smiled slightly.

Zhou Xuan didn't know that he was regarded as a son-in-law. He has changed into a chef's uniform and has begun to concentrate on cooking. Before eating, there are some speeches outside, auctions and so on. That has nothing to do with him, the kitchen is his battlefield, and he has to complete the task at the appointed time.

"Hey, Harry, where's that list of precautions that the boss gave me yesterday? I forgot what I couldn't use. Chef Hurley exclaimed.

Some foods are not practical together and may cause allergic dermatitis and even poisoning. Zhou Xuan immediately casually said some taboos to pay attention to.

"Xie Lu Xie, you didn't read the list?" Hurley was stunned.

Zhou Xuan pointed to his head and said lightly: "I remember it in my head." ”

"Really, how is it possible?" Hurley was worried that Zhou Xuan had cheated himself.

Zhou Xuan turned his head to see that he was holding the menu, and smiled: "Look at the menu in your hand." The first course was ......"

He quickly went through the menu, and there was nothing missing, and he said when he needed to prepare it and how many copies he needed.

The people in the kitchen were stunned. Americans have poor mental arithmetic skills, and they have to be fully prepared before they do it, and when they buy things in the supermarket, the goods are also explained in detail. Zhou Xuan actually memorized the menu, he couldn't have deliberately memorized this, if he just read it a few times and memorized it, it would be outrageous.

"My God, are you earthling?" Chef Locke sighed, "Can you remind everyone which dish to serve in a moment?" ”

"No problem."

Although Zhou Xuan is young, everyone now regards him as a monster who doesn't know which mountain range the ancient tomb came from, and no one dares to underestimate him. He is wearing chef overalls, which also makes people feel extraordinary, one of the female chefs has the illusion that this is making a movie, Zhou Xuan is the starring role, playing a chef.

After half an hour, Zhou Xuan vaguely became the leader, the command was well organized, and his own work efficiency was also amazing, not at all like he had just come to work.

His ability to coordinate and logic is too strong, and he remembers very clearly where the ingredients are placed, how to mix them, and what dishes to cook. Skip the step of chefs looking at the menu. The banquet was completed very smoothly and there were no major mistakes.

Two hours later, Wang Meng came to the kitchen and said with a smile: "Everyone, the organizers are very satisfied with the food today, let's celebrate when we go back, thank you for your efforts, by the way, who made the braised prawns and beef tenderloin?" ”

Zhou Xuan raised his hand and said, "What I did, is there anything wrong?" "It's certainly not a bad thing that the dish was asked to make a few more servings.

"I think it might be you, so I came in and asked, is there anyone who wants to hire a private chef who likes your cooking skills and is only doing it temporarily, how can you be interested? Even people who live in Beverly Hills should be paid more than I do. Wang Meng asked with a smile.

Everyone was envious and surprised when they heard it, this is too good, right? It's a lot easier to be a private chef, with a separate kitchen, so you don't have to mix in the restaurant. However, few people will poach people on such occasions, and this boss behaves in a strange way.

Zhou Xuan smiled: "Wouldn't it be okay for me to change jobs after two days, Uncle Meng?" Do you think I should go? ”

"Talk to the housekeeper first, he's outside. If you feel that the salary is right, I think you can consider it because it meets your current needs. Wang Meng smiled. Zhou Xuan is a basketball player, his cooking skills are highly praised, he is really a natural genius, and he is good at everything. After only getting along for two days, he found that Zhou Xuan learned everything quickly, and his American dialect was also very standard. He has to make friends with such a character as much as possible, and it is impossible to stay by his side for a long time.

"Let me meet the man."

"It's good."

Zhou Xuan went out and saw Jonathan, the old housekeeper in a suit, who had contacted the Beicheng Catering Company before, in order to protect the interests of the partners, if a guest wanted to invite a chef, he had to dredge through him first and ask the other party what he meant.

Seeing Zhou Xuan Jonathan was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be so young, and asked: "He is Chinese, how is English?" ”

"He speaks English better than I do, and even if you talk to him in other languages, maybe he will. This friend of mine is a genius who just came to me for two days as a guest chef, so let's talk about it. ”

"Hello, I'm Zhou Xuan, you can also call me Stephen." Zhou Xuan smiled slightly. This is the English name he just gave himself after arriving in Beicheng. Foreigners like to call him "Zhou", which feels a little awkward, that is his surname, and no one in China will call him that.

The English name is not casual, he makes money by cooking, and he remembered Stephen Chow's movie "God of Food", so the inspiration was called "Stephen", and his full name is Stephen. Zhou, the name used by Stephen Chow in "God of Food".

"Today, a guest wants to ask you to be a private chef, ask me to come over and ask, since you haven't signed a contract in Beicheng, are you interested in talking to them?" Jonathan smiled wryly.

"Of course I'm interested if I make a lot of money, but I won't be able to do it for long, so please introduce me to it." Zhou Xuan noticed Jonathan's smile, and said "them", two female bosses?
