Chapter 103 Start a happy life of eating and drinking for free
Why do humans rack their brains to make the most primitive ingredients into delicious food? It’s not just to open up your appetite, but to eat well and eat enough.
Therefore, eating well is always a "service" for fullness, 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 the "food luxuryism" represented by Michelin, and are always proclaiming that "food is expensive, not expensive, and "people who really have the status and know how to eat never care about the amount of dishes", "top food is never the best buns and steamed buns," and other fallacies.
So in the so-called high-end restaurant with gorgeous decorations and first-class dining environment, all the waiters had deep smiles, various strange situations appeared.
Eating becomes no longer like eating, but becomes a means of pretending to be 13.
When this unhealthy trend gradually became a trend, food gradually lost its original meaning. At this moment, they have become Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and the 'gold belt' with golden letters engraved.
It even became a hypocritical business card in the social circle!
So it is not wrong to say that Michelin is gradually hampering China's high-end catering industry. Today, the Su Group, which has a "bone-bone" brain, has not yet cooperated with Michelin in the past for development?
"Master Zhou, look at the so-called high-end catering bars in China today. Those high-end restaurants have either become Michelin or on the way to become Michelin. Today's high-end catering in China has completely become synonymous with money!"
Su Rou's tone was very sincere: "The high-end catering in the past was not like this. At least I know that the Minchu catering is not like this.
Although the dishes sold in some century-old restaurants at that time were higher than those in ordinary restaurants, they could at least insist on "food-oriented" and "die-oriented". The price was two or three times higher than that of ordinary restaurants and did not deviate from the value of food and cooking itself.
Let’s take a look at the high-end restaurants represented by Michelin today, which provide ten times less dishes than ordinary restaurants, but the prices are dozens or even hundreds of times higher!
Master Zhou, you may not believe that if your grilled lamb chop porridge appears in a restaurant with a three-star and above Michelin restaurant, the price will definitely increase by ten times!
Under the guidance of this bad habit, food has gradually become a luxury product regardless of its own value!
Master Zhou, don’t you think it would be a disaster if even the catering industry started selling luxury goods?”
What is a luxury item? A piece of yellow vegetables in Zhouzhou sells 128 yuan, with eggs, lard, cloud legs... a dish filled with a plate.
You can say it is not cheap, but it is not a luxury.
When you arrive in Michelin, you can sell this yellow dish at least 1,288. And you will only give you two bites of it.
This is called luxury goods!
"Well said, this is indeed a disaster."
Zhou Zhou thought for a moment and nodded, "It must be admitted that more than 80% of the good chefs are gathered in high-end restaurants. These people are actually the main force passed down from generation to generation by Chinese cuisine.
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 significance of inheriting Chinese food?
Are you continuing to package Chinese food into a higher-priced luxury product and continuing to cheat diners of money in their pockets?”
Michelin in this parallel world is obviously more greedy than the original world, otherwise it would not have been two levels more than the original world; and there has always been only one purpose behind this commercial subdivision level, that is, to earn more profits and greater benefits!
This is the main reason why Zhouzhou hates Michelin, and there is also. China’s food is unparalleled in the world. What qualifications do a group of Russians selling tires have to make trouble?
He and Su Rou are not very familiar with each other, but they can sit together in this matter, and they are having a very speculative conversation.
"Smacking"
This is Su Rou's applause.
"That's great! I'm so happy to reach a consensus with Master Xiao Zhou."
Su Rou breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension she had just now disappeared.
"Master Zhou, the Su Group has been deeply engaged in Chinese catering for many years, and the fate of Chinese cuisine is actually related to the fate of our group.
So we never want to see this situation continue. We are now aiming to rectify the trend and restore vitality to the Chinese catering industry.
To this end, we will cooperate in depth with Chairman Cao’s Ford Group to re-establish evaluation standards for the Chinese catering industry, with the purpose of completely driving Michelin out of China.
So we hope that Master Xiao Zhou, you can also participate and join us in the event.”
"Reset the criteria for judging Chinese food?"
Zhou Zhou waved his hand and said, "How do I know if you will become another Michelin after you successfully drive away Michelin?
And always Su doesn’t look down on me too highly?
I am just a food truck chef who doesn’t even have a second-level chef certificate. I’m just a junior with no qualifications in China. Is it important to have my participation?"
"Master Xiao Zhou, our new Chinese food standard will also be divided into three-level three-star, but we will not look at the reputation of hotels and restaurants and the level of chefs. We will only pay attention to the quality of dishes.
Moreover, the price of dishes is also an important consideration for us. We pay more attention to whether the prices of dishes in the restaurants and restaurants participating in the assessment are reasonable.
Even if they can make first-class delicious food, they must not price the dishes as luxury goods. Otherwise, we will give bad reviews and include them on the list of "not recommended try" stores."
Su Rou, who was prepared, smiled and said, "These standards will not be modified once they are established, otherwise the reputation of Su Group and Fude Group will be completely over; even if you don't believe me, you should believe that we and Fude will still cherish your face, right?"
"Is that right? But I remember when I first met Mr. Su, Mr. Su once said that you also have many Michelin restaurants under your company. Now the Su Group suddenly turned against the market and opposed the luxury of food. Are you not worried about damaging your own interests?"
"That's all the past. Master Zhou. The Su Group has developed to this day with Chinese Food as its core competitiveness. Of course, we don't want to see Chinese Food decline one day, so we would rather sacrifice our immediate interests. The Su Group also has plans for the future.
The Su Group still understands the difference between saturation and fullness.”
"Oh, that's right?"
Zhouzhou looked at Su Rou with exquisite makeup and nodded slightly, "I believe you. But I still have the same old saying. I have too little experience in China, so I'm afraid I can't help you."
When facing capital, even Su Rou said that she was full of things, she had to be wary of her. What's more, Zhou Zhou is really not in the mood to get involved in other things except being a chef.
Inertia is originally deep in the human bone marrow. If you jump out of your comfort zone casually, it is probably not very comfortable.
"I believe that Master Zhou will sooner or later become a big shot in China. I should still have this little vision, right?"
Su Rou smiled sweetly and said, "What's more, even Mr. Su and Mr. Hu praised you and even sent all his apprentices to you as chefs. Master Zhou, I have never seen many chefs who can use two special first-level chefs as chefs. Do you call this a lack of qualifications?"
"Don't mind, I was joking just now.
In fact, what we value is Master Xiao Zhou's ability. I believe that a conscientious chef like you, who even two national cooking masters, has enough food appreciation ability.
So we hope you will consider joining our 'Advanced Expert Tasting Group'."
Zhou Zhou was stunned: "Expert appraisal group, or advanced?"
"Of course, if we want to establish a new Chinese food evaluation standard, we need some diligent professionals with sufficient food appreciation ability and fairness to join the advanced tasting group. Master Zhou, you fully meet this requirement.
And you don’t have to worry about working too hard at all. Our tasting team will be divided into three levels: first, middle and high. The preliminary auditions, initial reviews, and re-evaluation will be completed by the first and middle-level tasting team, and your high-level tasting team will only make the final evaluation of restaurants with more than two stars.”
Su Rou smiled and said, "Do I know that Master Zhou has a rest for two days and has a seven-day rest time after leaving the car. Please rest assured that we will not take up too much time for you, and will only pick you up to the restaurant or restaurant you need to taste when you need it.
But then you will have to 'Thank you'll try more dishes. These dishes may come from eight major cuisines, or they may be outstanding Jianghu dishes."
"oh?"
Zhou Zhou's heart moved and asked subconsciously: "You mean I'm asking me to eat everywhere, don't you need me to spend money?"
"Haha, Master Zhou, you are so humorous."
Su Rou couldn't help laughing: "It's already very 'hard' to make a chef who is busy in the kitchen all day long and eats everywhere in the face of various ingredients. How can you still let yourself spend money?
You should know that those restaurants and hotels that have received the assessment cannot even come to you.
And because this work is too hard, we will pay a million-dollar annual salary to the members of the senior appraisal group. Only in this way can we be worthy of your hard work.
Master Zhou, now I sincerely invite you to join our high-end tasting group. Please consider whether it’s okay?"
Seeing that Zhouzhou seemed to be hesitating, Su Rou showed a pitiful expression: "Master Zhou, please help me. Mr. Zhang agreed to me, saying that as long as you are willing to join the advanced appraisal group, he will agree to join.
By the way, an annual salary of one million is just the current reward. As the "Huaxia Food Judgment Standard" of Sushi and Ford Group is fully launched, your annual salary will continue to rise."
A million-dollar annual salary is still just the primary stage, and will it increase in the future?
And I just need to eat something everywhere and make a judgment?
Zhou Zhou finally understood why Cai Shishen had to eat hundreds of breakfasts for a meal on a certain food program. It turned out that this was someone who was working hard.
After looking at Su Rou carefully, Zhouzhou felt that the beautiful Su in front of him was the soft pillow that she took the initiative to deliver to her when she was sleepy.
Isn't it? This beautiful CEO is perfectly matched with the "Chinese Cuisine Picture Book"?
As long as you nod, you still worry about not being able to light up the famous dishes of major cuisines in the Chinese Food Book?
Just nodding, from then on, we started a happy life of eating and drinking for free, just like Cai Shishen?
"Master Xiao Zhou, I promise that Su and Fude Group will surround you in the future."
Seeing that Zhou Zhou was silent for a long time, Su Rou thought he was going to reject him again.
"Okay, Mr. Su, you don't need to say anything more."
Zhou Zhou nodded and said, "I agree to join the advanced tasting group with a million-dollar salary!"
"Really!
This is really great, Master Zhou, thank you!
If you have any needs in the future, please don’t be polite. As long as it can be solved by Su Group, we will do our best to solve it and solve your problems!"
Su Rou was extremely excited. Looking at Zhouzhou who was smiling and silent, she felt like she had just won a particularly difficult battle!
