Why do human beings rack their brains to make the most primitive ingredients into delicacies? It's not about opening up your appetite, eating well and being full at the same time.

Therefore, eating well is always about the service of being full, and the latter is the true meaning of the existence of a chef.

Now there is a very bad tendency, some chefs are deeply influenced by Michelin's "beauty and luxury" as the representative, and are always flaunting some "food is not expensive," people who really have the status to eat never count the amount of dishes, "the top food is never the more the better, the more the better, and so on."

So in the so-called high-end restaurant with gorgeous decoration, first-class dining environment, and all the waiters have deep smiles, there are all kinds of strange situations...

Eating no longer feels like eating, but becomes a means of pretending to be 13.

When this trend becomes a trend, the food loses its original meaning, and now it has become Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and a 'gold belt' engraved with gold letters,......

It has even become a hypocritical business card in the social circle!

Therefore, it is not wrong to say that Michelin has gradually engulfed the high-end catering industry in China... Today's brain-born' backbone, the Su Group used to cooperate with Michelin in order to develop?

"Master Xiao Zhou, look at the so-called high-end restaurants in China today, those high-end restaurants have either become Michelin, or on the way to becoming Michelin, today's high-end restaurants in China have completely become synonymous with money!"

Su Rou's tone was sincere: "The high-end restaurants of the past were not like this... At least that's not what I know about the early Minchu catering.

At that time, although the prices of some century-old restaurants would be higher than those of ordinary restaurants, they could at least adhere to the principle of "food-oriented" and "diner-oriented", and the prices were two or three times higher than those of ordinary restaurants, which did not depart from the value of food and cooking itself.

Let's take a look at these fine dining restaurants represented by Michelin today... The amount of food they serve is ten times less than that of ordinary restaurants, and the prices are dozens or even hundreds of times higher!

Chef Xiao Zhou, you may not believe it, if your grilled lamb chop porridge appears in a restaurant with more than three Michelin stars, the price will definitely increase tenfold!

Under the guidance of this bad atmosphere, food has gradually become a luxury regardless of its own value!

Master Xiao Zhou, don't you think it will be a disaster if even the restaurant industry starts peddling luxury goods?"

What is luxury? A piece of yellow cabbage in Zhouzhou sells for 128, which contains eggs, lard, cloud legs... Fill a plate of dishes.

You could say it's not cheap, but it's not a luxury.

When you get to Michelin, this yellow cabbage will sell you at least 1288. And it only gives you the amount of two bites.

It's called luxury!

"Well, this is indeed a disaster......

Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and nodded, "I must admit that there are still more than eighty percent of good chefs in high-end restaurants, and these people are actually the main force of Chinese cuisine passed down from generation to generation.

If even they are confused by the huge benefits brought by Michelin, and gradually forget the bottom line that chefs should adhere to, and forget the original meaning of food, then what is the meaning of Chinese cuisine to be passed on? ….

Do you continue to package Chinese food as a higher-priced luxury and continue to cheat diners out of their pockets?"

Michelin in this parallel world is obviously more greedy than the one in the original world, otherwise it would not be two levels more than the original world; And there has always been only one purpose behind this commercial subdivision level, and that is to earn more profits and greater benefits!

This is the main reason why Zhouzhou hates Michelin, and ah... Chinese food is unparalleled in the world, what qualifications do a group of old hairy people who sell tires have to point fingers?

He and Su Rou are not very familiar with each other, but in this matter, the two of them can sit together, and they talk very speculatively.

"Papapa......

This is Su Rou's applause.

"Great

！ I'm so happy to be able to reach a consensus with you, Master Xiao Zhou."

Su Rou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension just now was swept away.

"Chef Xiao Zhou, Su's Group has been deeply involved in Chinese catering for many years, and the fate of Chinese cuisine is actually implicated in the fate of our group.

So we don't want to see this continue... It is our current purpose to clean up the Chinese catering industry and restore the vitality of Huaxia Qinxing.

To this end, we will work closely with Chairman Cao's Fude Group to re-establish the evaluation standards for the Chinese catering industry, with the aim of completely driving Michelin out of China.

So we hope that Master Xiao Zhou will also be able to participate in the grand event with us."

"Redefining the Judging Standards of Chinese Cuisine?"

Zhou Zhou waved his hand and said, "How do I know if you will become another Michelin after you successfully get rid of Michelin?

And Sue always doesn't think too highly of me?

I'm a food truck chef who doesn't even have a special second-class chef certificate, and I'm just a junior with no qualifications in Huaxia Qinxing, so is it important to have my participation?"

"Chef Xiao Zhou, our new standard of Chinese cuisine will also be divided into three third-class three-star, but we will not look at the reputation of the hotel and restaurant, or the level of the chef, we will only pay attention to the quality of the dishes.

Moreover, the price of the dishes is also an important criterion for us, and we pay more attention to whether the prices of the dishes in the participating hotels and restaurants are reasonable.

Even if they can make a first-class delicacy, they should never price the dish as a luxury, otherwise we will give it a bad review and put it on the list of restaurants that are not recommended to try......

Su Rou, who had been prepared, smiled and said, "Once these standards are established, they will not be able to be modified, otherwise the reputation of the Su Group and the Fu Group will be completely finished; Master Xiao Zhou, even if you don't believe me, you should always believe that we and Fu will still cherish our faces, right?"

"Really? But I remember when I first met Mr. Su, Mr. Su once said that you also have many Michelin-starred restaurants, and now the Su Group has suddenly turned against the United States and opposes luxury, aren't you worried about damaging your own interests?"

"That's all in the past, Master Xiao Zhou, the development of the Su Group to this day is still based on Chinese cuisine as the core competitiveness, of course we don't want to see the decline of Chinese cuisine one day, so we would rather sacrifice the immediate interests, and the Su Group will also plan for the future. ….

The difference between a saturated meal and a satiety is still understood......

"Oh, is that so?"

Zhou Zhou glanced at Su Rou, who had delicate makeup, nodded slightly, and said, "I believe what you say. But I'm still the same old saying, my qualifications in Huaxia are too shallow, I'm afraid I can't help you much......

In the face of capital, even if Su Rou said that the sky is falling, you must have a certain degree of vigilance, not to mention that now in addition to being a chef, Zhou Zhou is really not in the mood to mix in other things.

Inertia is something that is deeply embedded in the human marrow, and the result of casually stepping out of your comfort zone is probably not very comfortable......

"I believe that Master Xiao Zhou will become a big man in Huaxia sooner or later, I should still have this eyesight, right?"

Su Rou smiled sweetly, "What's more, even Old Man Su and Old Man Hu are full of praise for you, and even sent apprentices to you as cooks... Chef Xiao Zhou, I really haven't seen a few chefs who can use two special first-class chefs as helpers, do you call this a lack of qualifications?"

"Don't mind, I was joking.

In fact, what we value is the ability of Chef Xiao Zhou, and I believe that you, a conscientious chef who even two national culinary masters have to praise, have enough food appreciation ability.

So we hope you'll consider joining our 'Advanced Expert Tasting Tour,'"

Zhou Zhou was stunned: "Expert tasting group, or advanced?"

"Of course, if we want to establish a new evaluation standard for Chinese cuisine, we need some diligent professionals with sufficient food appreciation ability and impartiality to join the senior tasting group, and Chef Xiao Zhou, you fully meet this requirement.

And you don't have to worry about working too hard, our tasting team will be divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate and high, and the preliminary audition, preliminary evaluation and re-evaluation will be completed by the beginner and intermediate tasting team, while your senior tasting team will only make the final evaluation of restaurants with more than two stars."

Su Rou smiled, "Do I know that Master Xiao Zhou is doing a break and resting for seven days every time he gets out of the car... Rest assured, we won't take up too much of your time and will only pick you up when you need to go to the restaurant or hotel you need to taste.

It's just that when the time comes, you will have to 'work hard, you can taste more dishes, these dishes may come from the eight major cuisines, or they may be outstanding Jianghu cuisine......",

"Oh?"

Zhou Zhou's heart moved, and he subconsciously blurted out, "You mean that I don't need to spend money to eat everywhere?"

"Haha, Master Xiao Zhou, you are really humorous......

Su Rou couldn't help laughing: "It's already very hard to let a chef who is busy in the back kitchen all day and face all kinds of ingredients eat everywhere, how can you still spend your own money?

You know, the restaurants and hotels that have been rated can't wait for you.

And because it's so hard work, we pay millions of dollars a year to the members of the Premium Tasting Panel, so that we can be worth your hard work......

Master Xiao Zhou, now I sincerely invite you to join our high-level tasting group, please think about it, okay?"

Seeing that Zhou Zhou seemed to be hesitating, Su Rou showed a pitiful expression: "Master Zhou, you can help... Mr. Zhang promised me, saying that as long as you are willing to join the high-level tasting group, he will agree to join. ….

By the way, the annual salary of one million is only the remuneration at this stage, and with the Su family and the Fude Group's 'Chinese food judging standards' in full swing, your annual salary will rise......

The annual salary of one million is still in its infancy, and it will rise in the future?

And I just need to eat something here and there and just make a judgment?

Zhou Zhou finally understood why Cai Shishen had to eat hundreds of breakfasts for breakfast on a certain food show, it turned out that this was someone else's hard work,......

Looking at Su Rou carefully, Zhou Zhou felt that the beautiful woman in front of him was the soft pillow that he took the initiative to send to the door when he was sleeping.

Isn't it? This beautiful CEO is simply in line with the 'Chinese cuisine guide, and the cooperation is seamless?

As long as you nod your head, are you still worried about not being able to light up the famous dishes of major cuisines on the Chinese Food Illustrated Book?

just nodded, and since then he has started a happy life of eating and drinking for nothing, just like Cai Shishen?

"Master Xiao Zhou, I promise that the Su family and the Fude Group will revolve around you in the future......

Su Rou saw that Zhou Zhou was silent for a long time, and thought that he was going to reject himself again.

"Okay, Mr. Su, you don't have to say it anymore."

Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "With an annual salary of one million, joining the senior tasting group... I promised!"

"Really!

This is so good, Master Zhou, thank you!

You... If you have any needs in the future, please don't be polite, as long as it can be solved by Su's Group, we will definitely try our best to solve it and solve problems for you!"

Su Rou was very excited, looking at Zhouzhou, who was smiling and silent, feeling like she had just won a particularly difficult battle! .
