Reborn King of Marketing

Liu Yiwei said slowly, and everyone finally understood why he wanted to accept an elm knot as his apprentice.

It turned out that he accidentally tasted a dish of boiled cabbage cooked by the restaurant owner Zhuang Youcai, and immediately discovered that this man was a cooking wizard, and he showed a slight intention of accepting a disciple.

Zhuang Youcai was also a food lover and had admired Liu Yiyi for a long time. He immediately knelt down and offered tea to his master.

It was supposed to be a good story in the catering industry, but after a few days of careful instruction by Liu Yiyi, he discovered a big problem.

His new disciple can only use his free will, and he can only cook the simplest dishes. If something is a little more complicated, he can't do it because there is too much salt or the heat is too high.

At first he thought it was due to lack of skill, so he worked harder to teach, but after more than a month passed, the apprentice was still like that.

Master Liu once conducted experiments. For example, in Shandong cuisine, there is a dish called Jin Gou Gua Yin Bar, which is stir-fried with the stems of mung bean sprouts and small Jin Gou dried sea rice. It is no problem to let him fry the bean sprouts alone or the dried sea rice alone.

Problem, but if the two things are put together, it’s over.

Master Liu immediately knelt down. He had been practicing for sixty years and had never seen such a strange thing before.

Let’s say this guy has no talent. He can make individual dishes that are outstanding. Let’s say he is a talented person, but he can’t make anything more complicated.

The worried Liu Yiyi really had no choice but to kill Zhuang Youcai when he saw him again, so he asked his apprentice to learn about the dishes he had taught, and Master Liu returned to his hometown.

Zhuang Youcai also had great perseverance and perseverance. After his master left, he spent all his money to purchase this hotel. While running it, he worked hard on his craftsmanship. As a result, the hotel, which was originally doing well, became deserted.

Master Liu made an exception and drank a glass of cold beer and sighed.

"I came here this time, firstly, to build up the school, and secondly, determined to teach him out, otherwise I will die in peace!"

Zhuang Youcai filled the teacher's cup and said firmly, "I will live up to the teacher's teachings and study harder!"

Master Liu patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "Where there is a will, there is a way. As long as you are willing to learn, the old man will risk his life!"

Zhang Xuebing's heart felt cold. The two of them didn't talk like they were learning to cook, but they were as tragic as going to the execution ground. Why bother?

Suddenly, he thought of those molecular cuisine dishes from later generations that combined Chinese and Western cuisine. They were all very simple, and most of them consisted of a single main course plus toppings.

Is it possible that Zhuang Youcai is a natural talent for new dishes?

Traditional Chinese dishes are very complicated, and many side dishes are required to make them a great dish. Therefore, Master Liu and his disciples are all in trouble, and they should be enlightened.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xuebing said loudly, "You two, although I don't know much about catering, I have some personal opinions. I don't know if you like to hear it or not!"

Liu Yiyi twitched his beard and said, "You kid has the most evil ideas, tell me now!"

Zhang Xuebing smiled and said, "Being able to perfect a material is a rare talent. Why do you two pursue those complicated changes? Why don't we simplify the complexity?"

Everyone sitting there was stunned and looked at Zhang Xuebing. Zhuang Youcai also had a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Liu Yiyi frowned and said, "But the more complex the traditional dishes, the more high-end they are. Can one alone be able to reach the level of elegance?"

Zhang Xuebing's eyes shone brightly, "I went to Screw Country and ate a lot of Western food. Most of them were made with only the main ingredients, such as steak and barbecue. When they are done, the taste is not inferior to other dishes. Why don't you try one?

Combining Chinese and Western elements, specially selecting some ingredients that can be made into dishes on their own, and carefully crafting them to reach the peak of taste?"

Liu Yiwei seemed to be shaken, but still said angrily.

"We have a five-thousand-year-old Chinese civilization and at least three thousand years of catering culture. If we have to learn from those who drink raw materials and drink blood, wouldn't we be going backwards?"

Zhang Xuebing chuckled and said, "Who said we should learn from others? In ancient times, fish dumplings and grilled meat were not always like this. You are learning from the past and creating new ones. You are the first to open a Chinese restaurant. In the future, you will always be the god of cooking."

!”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Is this okay?

Zhuang Youcai's eyes lit up even more when he heard this, and his face was full of excitement.

Liu Yiyi opened his mouth for a long time, then stood up suddenly, put his hands on Zhang Xuebing's shoulders, and said with his eyes shining with strange light.

"Okay, good boy, you are the real master. I will go and study it carefully. In the future, this new cooking skill must be put in the school..."

Zhang Xuebing said with a smile, "Don't flatter me. I'm young and can't afford it. But if you do this, not only can you establish a sect, but you can also bring Huaxia Catering to the world and earn a lot of foreign exchange!"

Liu Yiyi shouted, "Bring the wine!"

Zhuang Youcai hurriedly filled several people's cups.

Liu Yiyi raised his glass and Zhang Xuebing, who was full of energy, said.

"I salute you for this glass of wine on behalf of the entire Chinese catering industry. Without you, I would still be in limbo. In the future, this new cooking technique will become a system, and your contribution will definitely leave your name in history!"

Zhang Xuebing had a black line on his head, "Yes, you said that there is grass growing on my grave!"

Liu Yiyi put down his empty cup and said to Zhuang Youcai, "Immediately close the hotel for a few days for rectification. You and I will study in seclusion in the kitchen for a few days. You won't leave until you come up with something new!"

Zhuang Youcai smiled bitterly and said, "I can't help but close the door. The business is getting worse and worse. I can't survive. The rent is due next month..."

It’s also very sad that this person turned the hotel into this in order to learn cooking skills.

Liu Yiyi took out a bank card from his pocket and pushed it on the table.

"This is my savings for many years. I originally planned to use it to open a school. You go and renew the rent first. You can't lose it here. It will be of great use in the future!"

Master Liu used to earn a dead salary and only opened a restaurant after retirement, so his life savings may not be much. It is a drop in the bucket to open a school, but it is enough to support this hotel.

Zhuang Youcai hurriedly stepped back, "This is your pension money, you can't take this!"

Master Liu turned to look at Zhang Xuebing, his meaning was very clear.

Zhang Xuebing smiled bitterly and said, "Don't look at me, old man. I didn't bring much money when I came to the provincial capital this time. I have a lot of stuff with me. I have to sell it to get cash!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the backpack, "It's hard to sell antiques. I originally planned to open a store to sell them slowly, but if you need them urgently, I'll take a small loss and sell them all at once!"

Zhou Wanguan, who had been watching the show for a long time, suddenly became anxious, "Brother, you don't want that store anymore?"

Zhang Xuebing pouted at Ma Gan, and Ma Gan lifted his backpack on the table knowingly.

Zhang Xuebing grabbed the strap of his backpack and threw it on the table. "These are all taken care of. Let alone the store, there is no problem in buying this hotel!"
