Chapter 164 An advertising sponsorship contract

There is a reason why the dish of boiled cabbage is called one of the best in the world and a masterpiece of Sichuan cuisine. ..

Although the name is called boiled cabbage, it is not really a dish made by pouring boiled water on the core of cabbage. Just think about it and you will know that if it can be made so easily, then this boiled cabbage is said to be the best in the world. It’s also too cheap.

So the boiling water in this so-called name is not ordinary boiling water, but boiled soup stock.

People who are familiar with Chinese food will be familiar with soup stock. Among the traditional seasonings of Chinese food, there are two liquids that are often used in cooking. One is cooking wine, which is rice wine with spices, and the other is stock. , some places call it old soup. As the name suggests, it is a soup that has been cooked for a long time. Of course, it is definitely not just boiled water. Otherwise, there is no need to call it high soup. Instead of calling it old soup, just call it white soup.

In Chinese cooking, soup stock is divided into two categories, one is called clear soup, and the other is called thick soup, also called milk soup. As the name suggests, clear soup is as clear as water in appearance, while milk soup is as white as milk. The methods of making soup are completely different, so I won’t describe them one by one here. Generally speaking, in the cooking of Shandong cuisine, milk soup is used more often. The reason why boiled cabbage is called boiled water is because it uses a clear soup as clear as water.

What Jester is cooking is also the secret soup passed down by his family. In fact, it is not just a Chinese food family, but also a family of chefs from other countries. Because of decades of cooking and countless experiences accumulated, he will always discover it intentionally or accidentally. Some special seasoning methods are particularly delicious, and because this method is accumulated through the experience of countless people, it is secretly passed down by these chef families and is not disclosed to the public.

Then, some dishes made specifically with this special seasoning as the core are unique.

There is no secret to making clear soup. Each cuisine has its own method, which is more or less the same. But in some dishes, especially those that need to be seasoned with clear soup, the quality of the clear soup is often the key to whether the dish is good or not. Jester's ancestor was a famous chef in central Sichuan. When Huang Jinglin returned to Sichuan to open his aunt's banquet, he became famous all over the world. Te's ancestor went to learn the art from a master, and eventually learned the method of making Huang-style clear soup that would not be taught to direct disciples.

Among the eight most famous dishes of Guguyan, a pot of top-quality clear soup can often play a key role.

But relative. Good things are not that easy to come by, and the same is true when it comes to making clear soup. As the saying goes, clear soup is made over low heat and thick soup is made over high heat. Although clear soup does not need to be boiled over high heat like thick soup, but after the cooking is completed, The subsequent several times of boiling the soup also test the skill of the cook. The entire cooking process takes twenty-four hours. During this period, it is necessary to observe the progress of the cooking and change the size of the stove fire at any time. To keep this pot of clear soup hot.

Jester was sitting in the kitchen with a newspaper and watching over the clear soup that was being cooked. The ingredients selected in it were all ready-made. There were a lot of things in Claudia's refrigerator, although they were missing a lot. The ancestral Huang's clear soup requires a few ingredients, but it's generally good.

After all, what he wanted to do this time was just to let Claudia taste the quality of top-notch Sichuan cuisine, and he didn't really want to make a pot of state-banquet clear soup.

And as long as you are not the kind of meticulous chef who can understand the slightest difference in food. Generally, you can't taste the difference between his clear soup with a few ingredients and the complete Huang's clear soup. Moreover, if he makes the soup several times, the taste is still very good.

The newspaper was a copy of The Times from a few days ago. This newspaper with the highest quality in the entire British Isles is best known for its commentary on political current affairs. The writers who wrote articles on it are all of high standard and have strong professionalism. I remember that Jester was in a world before his rebirth. I saw a post on the forum about how much vocabulary is needed to read the political current affairs version of The Times smoothly, and almost everyone responded in unison, saying that the bottom line is 10,000, and you also need to have that IQ.

It is worth mentioning that many people in the country call this newspaper, known as the Gray Lady’s ‘faithful recorder of British society’, the Times. In fact, most people don’t know that the English name of this newspaper is actually ‘the-time’. Translated into Chinese, even primary school students know it should be "The Times". In fact, "The Times" is often called "The Times of London" in foreign countries, in order to distinguish it from the "New York Times", the world's largest newspaper - because now the Times generally refers to the "New York Times".

As for why the allusion of "The Times" was translated into "The Times" in China is no longer available, it may be because of the Thames River in London. I later found out the error, but because the translation of "The Times" has been widely circulated, so according to the agreement in the translation This translation has become a common practice and has been retained.

Naturally, Jester did not have a vocabulary of 10,000 at the time. Although he has no problem reading now, he is not very interested in this kind of topic. The simple thing is that although the "Times" is a newspaper with current affairs commentary as its core newspaper, but because it was acquired by Murdoch a few years ago, it also contains more news about culture and sports.

As a fan, Jester is of course the most concerned about football news.

It is now more than March, and the English League One has also entered the sprint stage. European football is now dominated by England. In the European Champions Cup in the past ten years, English teams have won seven out of ten championships, and have Six consecutive times have been won by English teams.

But Jester knows that the years of English football beating Europe will soon end. In the Champions League final held in the Heysel in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, in May this year, Juventus relied on their star player Platini's realistic dive one meter away from the penalty area line was awarded a precious penalty kick by the referee who was "clearly aware of everything", and this penalty kick eventually defeated them, who were still at their peak at the time, 1: Liverpool won the championship.

And later, when one of Platini's teammates at the time talked about this misjudgment, he even shouted loudly that at that position, for Platini, there was not much difference between a penalty kick and a free kick. To be honest, in Jester's more than ten years of fan career in his previous life, this is the first time I have seen someone say such a thing shamelessly. Is it true that people of the same kind flock together and birds of a feather flock together?

Of course, the most famous thing about this final is not this, but the Heysel tragedy that occurred before the game. It was precisely because of this tragedy that the entire English team was banned by UEFA for five years. Years later, the English League suddenly declined from its golden period and the Serie A Mini World Cup emerged.

But Jester is not very interested in these. He is a Manchester United fan, not a Liverpool fan. Liverpool is now at its peak, and Manchester United is not. The current Manchester United is just a team in the middle and lower reaches - and Jester Looking at the standings listed in the newspaper, Manchester United's results above are not very good. Although there is no danger of relegation, they are not in the top ten.

It's still more than two months before the end of the season. Jester doesn't know where Manchester United will end up this season, but he knows that the current head coach, Mr. Atkinson, only has more than a year left. Next year At the end of the year, he will be replaced by one of the greatest managers in Manchester United's history, and it is this man who replaced Atkinson, Mr. Alex Ferguson, who is still a young coach, who will turn Manchester United into a mid-to-lower team. A small club has built the greatest team in the world.

Of course, it is too early to say this now. What Jester hates most in later generations is the Glazer family's harshness towards Manchester United, and he also regrets that Cantona did not win a Champions League trophy, so he had The idea of ​​​​purchasing Manchester United.

But now is not twenty years later. At that time, the Premier League was open and welcomed funds from all over the world. The current League One is still a very closed circle. In addition, the current Manchester United Chairman Mr. Edwards is still full of confidence in the re-emergence of Manchester United. , so there is no possibility of buying Manchester United.

Of course, it's also because Jester doesn't have too much money in his hands right now. Jester believes that no matter how big the tide of love is, it can't stop the erosion of money.

But four years later, during Manchester United's darkest days, it would not be so difficult to acquire.

Jester, who was casually flipping through the Times, was a little bored. Originally, he didn't read the current affairs section but only read the culture, sports and entertainment. There were very few things worth paying attention to, but even so, he kept reading at the speed of one glance and ten lines. Jester, who was browsing, still found a piece of news that was very useful to him.

This is news about Manchester United. If it wasn't for Manchester United, Jester might not have focused on this piece of tofu. This is news about Sharp's chest advertising sponsorship contract with Manchester United. In 1982, Manchester United signed the first chest advertising sponsorship contract in their history with Sharp. The contract was for five years and the annual sponsorship amount was 100,000 pounds. However, Manchester United was in the spotlight at the time and they had just won the The FA Cup champion, but Manchester United has been worse than the previous year over the years, so after the agreement expires next year, Sharp means to keep the original contract price unchanged and continue to renew for another five years.

However, Manchester United felt that this was inconsistent with practice and asked Sharp to increase the annual sponsorship amount by at least 30%. They had no doubts about the length of time.

This news is about the stalemate between the two companies in contract renewal negotiations. Jester looked at this news and couldn't help but think of the classic football shirts with the word "harp" printed on their chests that accompanied the rise of Manchester United. The red jersey and Sharp's 18-year close partnership with Manchester United in chest sponsorship.

With the rise of Manchester United, the international influence Sharp has gained from Manchester United is naturally not comparable to a mere chest sponsorship. In fact, it is officially relying on Manchester United's chest advertising that Sharp can completely open up the European market. .

Thinking of this, Jester suddenly had a whim.

"Since Sharp can get Manchester United's sponsorship contract, why can't he?")
