Through a door, Shen Long came from the capital in 2018 to the flower capital in 1988, in an alley, there was no other person around, walked out of the alley to the side of the street, curiously looking at the surrounding situation.

Bicycles are still the main driving on the road, cars and motorcycles are rare, and an old man with a red armband is standing at the intersection to direct traffic, and pedestrians are looking at Shen Long curiously.

In the middle of a piece of gray-blue clothes, Shen Long, who was wearing a straight suit, rimless glasses, and a camera around his neck, looked particularly eye-catching, and there happened to be a newsstand on the side of the road.

It seemed that my analysis was not wrong, Shen Long felt a little confident in his heart, and there happened to be a yellow taxi passing by the side of the road, and he quickly reached out and stopped it.

"Xiansen, where are you going?" The driver stopped the car and poked his head out of the window and asked.

"Go to the White Swan Hotel, by the way, can I pay the bill in dollars?" Shen Long pulled the car door and sat in.

"No problem! Xiansen: Are you a returned overseas Chinese? The driver's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly started the car, for fear that Shen Long would regret it, at this time, the official price of the US dollar was far from the black market price, and Shen Long paid the bill in US dollars, of course he couldn't ask for it.

"Yes, my grandfather's generation went to the United States, and then he got married and had children in the United States, and I heard that the motherland is now open, so I came back to explore the way for my grandfather." This is the identity that Shen Long made up for himself.

"As soon as I looked on the side of the road, I thought that you were coming back from the United States, and the rich people from Xiangjiang were not as handsome as you dressed." The driver complimented, Shen Long's clothes are thirty years ahead of the times, and they are naturally eye-catching.

chatting with the driver all the way, occasionally pretending to ask a few food questions inadvertently, but he didn't get the news of the first chef competition from the driver's mouth, Shen Long was not in a hurry, the life of the master chef and the driver was a little far away, he didn't know that he was also cleaning up, and he would wait until he got to the hotel.

Not long after, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the White Swan Hotel, which was built by Mr. Huo of Xiangjiang and the local government, and officially opened in 1983, and is also the first five-star hotel in China, because of its special background has become the first choice for many returned overseas Chinese and Hong Kong and Macao compatriots to return to China.

After paying the money, he got out of the car, thanked the doorman who came to open the door, and handed over a five-dollar bill, Shen Long walked into the lobby, came to the front desk and handed over the forged American passport, and looked at the front desk with a little nervousness, "Help me open a room." ”

"Yes, sir, please wait a minute." The front desk was accustomed to seeing guests of foreign nationality, so he was not too surprised, and after a careful inspection, he completed the check-in procedures for Shen Long, and handed over the passport and key with both hands.

"Thank you." Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief, worthy of the level of science and technology that was thirty years ahead, he was relieved, he took his passport and key and followed the elevator to his room to rest for a while, and then went downstairs again to the Yutang Chunnuan Restaurant on the third floor.

Located on the third floor of the White Swan Hotel, the restaurant designer uses Lingnan characteristics such as pavilions, pavilions, birds and flowers to set off a strong Xiguan style.

At the same time, the restaurant is also a famous time-honored Chinese restaurant in Huadu, famous for exquisite dim sum and Cantonese cuisine, and became one of the first Michelin-starred restaurants in Guangzhou in 2018.

If you want to inquire about Liao Jie and the news of the First Chef Competition, it must be the most convenient to find a famous chef in the flower capital, which is also one of the important reasons why Shen Long chose to stay in the White Swan Hotel.

Of course, you can also go directly to Liao Jie's Yangzhou Building, but this is a bit presumptuous, it is better to eat something here first, chat with the chef, it is better to be recommended by him, and maybe you can also get the qualification to enter the scene to watch the first chef competition.

I found a place where I could see the atrium and sat down, ordered a few of Yutang's signature dishes and ate them, which is worthy of being a well-known restaurant in Huadu, and every dish is delicious, especially the signature sunflower chicken, which made Shen Long praise it.

This dish is known as the first chicken in the world, this chicken since birth, do not know the taste of grains, do not know what water is, they feed on fresh sunflower plates, leaves, and the juice squeezed out of sunflowers after drying is water, and it tastes delicious and abnormal.

"Delicious, delicious!" Shen Long gave a thumbs up while eating, and kept praising it.

The waiter next to him pursed his lips and held back a smile, "Mr. is a returned overseas Chinese, right?" Since you are here, you might as well come and taste it a few more times, our store's seed ginger duck lettuce buns, nine-turn eggplant, and 30-year-old Huadiao baked cinnamon fish are very good. ”

"Yes, it's rare to be able to eat such authentic Chinese food abroad." Shen Long nodded in praise, then turned his head sideways to look at the waiter, "I have a reluctant request, I don't know if I can ask the chef of your restaurant to come out?" ”

Shen Long took out his business card and handed it over, "I am a reporter for a Chinese newspaper in the United States, especially like food, this time I returned to China in addition to looking for roots, I also want to collect more news of Chinese food, write an article and publish it in the newspaper, so that those wanderers who have been away from home for a long time can have a glimpse of the food in their hometown and understand the thoughts of the perch." ”

Shen Long's excuse was perfect, the waiter couldn't find a reason to refuse, plus it wasn't yet time to eat, and the kitchen was not too busy, so the chef came out quickly, "Hello Mr. Shen, I am Su Ziwen, the chef of Yutang Chunnuan." ”

"Hello Mr. Su, it is a great blessing to be able to taste the craftsmanship of a top chef like Mr. Su as soon as I return to China." Shen Long pulled Su Ziwen to sit down and gave him a lot of compliments, "This sunflower chicken is Mr. Su's work, right?" The skin is yellow, the bones are crispy, the meat is sweet and tender, and the bone marrow has a strong sunflower seed fragrance, which is really a rare top-quality ......"

He had done his homework before he came, and found a bunch of gourmets' praise for Yutang Chun Nuan from the Internet, and every comment said the key, and Su Ziwen was very happy when he heard it, as if Yu Boya met Zhong Ziqi, and after a while, he was full of good feelings towards Shen Long.

"Mr. Shen also has dinner in our store, I will prepare it in a while, and then make a few specialty dishes in the evening for Mr. Shen to taste it."

"Okay, that's settled." Feeling that the time was almost up, Shen Long asked about the matter, "Mr. Su, in addition to our Yutang Spring Warmth, there are also those famous restaurants and chefs in Huadu who are worth visiting?" ”

"When it comes to famous chefs in Guangzhou, the first is Chef Liao Jie Liao of Yangzhou Building!" Su Ziwen gave a thumbs up and said.
