Chapter 8: The City of Gastronomy

Xiao Xiaomei smiled: "What kind of fairy competition, grandma, you haven't figured it out!" ”

"Anyway, no matter what you do, don't go!"

"Grandma, you still don't see much, there are a lot of such competitions now, if we win, it is estimated that business will be better than now......"

"Don't!" Without waiting for her granddaughter to finish speaking, Granny Xiao grabbed the words: "There's no need! I'm busy enough right now, and if I have a few more guests, I'll have a headache! ”

The catering industry is two extremes, the newly opened store is not patronized, and the owner is anxious. The old shop is too busy to do business, and the waiters have a bad attitude, but they are still overcrowded.

Xiao Xiaomei handed the packed duck paw to Yin Xiaoyue. Yin Xiaoyue took the duck paw, and wanted to ask about the competition, but the guests behind her were already urging her.

Back in the store.

Ma Xiaohuan was naturally very happy to see that there was another duck paw to eat.

After nibbling on two duck paws in a row, she asked about the situation on Yin Xiaoyue's side of the Management Committee.

Yin Xiaoyue also picked up a duck paw and gnawed on it, and she explained the situation to her cousin briefly. When my cousin heard this, she was a little anxious, and the duck paw didn't seem to taste as crisp as before.

Feng Lao Wu came over to ask Yin Xiaoyue how the situation was, and seeing that she didn't ask what the result was, Feng Lao Wu was very disappointed.

He sighed: "People say that the old doesn't go and the new doesn't come, but I, Feng Lao Wu, just can't figure it out, the new thing is really so good?" I really can't get used to the fried stinky tofu that every ancient town has...... Although our old street is a little dilapidated, there is really no place for it? ”

Yin Xiaoyue was speechless when she asked this.

When Feng Lao Wu left, Yin Xiaoyue looked at his lonely figure, and she didn't feel good in her heart.

After thinking about it, Yin Xiaoyue took out her mobile phone and pulled out a selfie stick.

On the shelf, Yin Xiaoyue wants to shoot a vlog.

Shooting small videos, Yin Xiaoyue's original intention was just to be a hardcore anchor who relied on his cooking strength to gain attention.

She hopes that fans will pay attention to her because of the food she shoots, but she doesn't know if it's because of her shooting methods or if her marketing methods are not good enough, she can't always attract too many fans.

But the good news is that among the few fans, there are still a few good irons.

For example, the "poetry wine" Xiao Lao Tie is a die-hard fan, he not only likes and forwards every video message, but also jumps out to defend her as soon as others attack "Food Expert Xiao Yueyue".

She was very touched by this.

Now shooting small videos is also an emerging way to make money.

A lot of people rely on this and earn a lot of money.

From the beginning, she Yin Xiaoyue just regarded it as a sustenance, and some unhappy things could be forgotten when shooting videos.

And, whenever I see the number of fans increase again.

For her, it is full of accomplishment, so no matter how difficult it is, she wants to keep doing it.

The old street needs to be rebuilt, and everyone is at a loss.

So, what happens to asking for help online?

Although the number of followers is not large, if there are one or two who can come up with ideas, maybe they can help themselves.

Dragging a selfie stick, Yin Xiaoyue said hello to the camera.

She walked around the store, and after giving a general introduction to the situation in the store to the camera, she sat behind the bar and talked to everyone about the current predicament.

After a brief introduction to the reconstruction of the old street, Yin Xiaoyue finally said:

"This shop was left to me by my parents, who have been in business for more than 20 years and have a regular clientele. But if it is renovated, if it becomes the same kind of fast food restaurant, then the repeat customers who have accumulated so hard before will not patronize. I'm really worried about what will happen next. So I hope you can help me......"

Yin Xiaoyue said very sincerely.

But it is estimated that the hope will not be very large, there are indeed many talents on the Internet, but there are very few who can help.

Record the video, edit it briefly, and upload it.

To Yin Xiaoyue's surprise, only five minutes later this time, she received a private message.

It was sent by "Poetry Wine":

"Xiao Yueyue, have you heard of Xiuli Ancient Street?"

Xiuli Ancient Street?

After Yin Xiaoyue searched, she found that at that time, there was also a reconstruction.

In order to protect the old street, the residents on the street made a lot of movements, and finally the old street became famous in the whole country, and the influence was great, and the old street was preserved.

Yin Xiaoyue was about to reply to "Poetry Wine", when she received another message from the other party:

"Xiao Yueyue, that Xiuli Ancient Street, whether in terms of geographical location or cultural environment, is very similar to your Osmanthus Street. I suggest you learn from the operation mode of Xiuli Old Street and see if you can give some inspiration. ”

Yin Xiaoyue replied, "What do you mean ......?" ”

"Xiao Yueyue, if you want to keep Lao Cai, you must first improve the popularity of Lao Cai, and if you want to increase the popularity of Lao Cai, then you must make yourself a big V! People who follow you in this way will start paying attention to Lao Cai. ”

"I also want to be a big V, but the number of fans has not been able to go up."

"Have you heard of the folk chef competition held in Rongzhou City?"

"Chef contest?"

"This is the first national cooking competition, there is no threshold for participants, and the whole process will be broadcast live on major media platforms. Xiao Yueyue, I am very confident in your cooking skills, as long as you play normally, you will definitely be able to enter the finals. ”

That night, Yin Xiaoyue seriously thought about the suggestion of "poetry wine".

She felt that it was very feasible.

I checked the details of the contest on the Internet, and this folk kitchen god contest was sponsored and named by a company called Suzaku Group.

Yin Xiaoyue of Suzaku Company has heard that it mainly makes high-end kitchenware.

In this chef competition, first audition, then the final 50, then the top 20, then the top 10, and the last elimination to determine the final folk kitchen god.

As "Poetry and Wine" said, there is really no threshold restriction for this registration.

As long as you think you are good enough in cooking, you can participate in the audition.

At a glance at the registration time, the deadline is actually this Friday. Today is already Thursday, that is, tomorrow, is the last day of registration.

Gritting her teeth, Yin Xiaoyue took out her mobile phone and booked a high-speed rail ticket for the earliest train tomorrow.

When he heard that Yin Xiaoyue was going to hand over the store to him temporarily, Ma Xiaohuan panicked.

"Don't be afraid, there are some dishes that can't be cooked, so let's remove them from the menu for the time being. If you don't understand, you can call me at any time, I'll tell you, and you'll be done. ”

Rongzhou, the most famous food capital in the country.

The four seasons are distinct, and the products are abundant.

The confluence of the three rivers here, from ancient times to the present, the transportation is convenient, and it is a place where merchants come and go frequently.

Local cuisines are also blended here.

As a result, Rongzhou has also cultivated a group of diners with the most tricky palates in the world, and it is very difficult to satisfy their taste buds.

But once it is recognized by these people, it is a great honor for a chef.

Yin Xiaoyue walked out of the high-speed rail station, and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

The registration location is at the InterContinental International Hotel in Rongzhou. After she took a taxi directly to that place, she was told by the staff that the quota for the audition was full, and the registration ended early.

Hearing this, Yin Xiaoyue was dumbfounded.

InterContinental Hotel is an international chain of five-star hotels, and the executive chef is Song Kun.

This time, the chef god is jointly organized by the Intercontinental Hotel and the Suzaku Group, and Song Kun is the executive chef of the Intercontinental Hotel, so he should be able to speak.

The idea of whether to ask him for help flashed in Yin Xiaoyue's mind, and after thinking for a while, she still put down the phone.

Although Song Kun and his father Yin Weimin seem to know each other.

But it's hard to say what the relationship between the two is, and whether they are willing to help or not.

When Yin Xiaoyue left, Song Kun happened to come out of an office on the second floor.

He is one of the planners of this folk chef competition.

When he saw Yin Xiaoyue leaving in a gray manner, Song Kun looked stunned.

He asked the staff what was going on, and when he learned that Yin Xiaoyue had not reported his name, Song Kun thought for a while and asked the staff: "Did she fill out the registration form?" ”

"Filled, but the spot is full."

Song Kun stretched out his hand: "Let me see ......"
