After returning from Downing Street, Yang Chen was interrupted by a phone call before he could have a good time with Alyssa.

"What did you say? You're coming to London?"

"when?"

"Flight in the afternoon."

"Okay, I understand, I will prepare it for you."

"It's night here now."

"We'll talk about it when you get there."

"Press, that's it."

After Yang Chen hung up the phone, he looked up at Lan Meiren who was walking towards him. Seeing that she was holding the phone in her hand, he asked, "Who is calling again?"

Lan Meiren: "It's Mr. Cai"

Yang Chen: "That Mr. Cai?"

Lan Meiren: "Cai Lam, Mr. Cai."

When Yang Chen heard this, he frowned slightly and took the phone handed over by Lan Meiren.

"Hello"

"Boss, it's me, Cai Lan."

"Hey, are you okay?" Yang Chen pointed at the teapot and motioned for Lan Meiren to make a pot of tea for him.

"Boss, the next issue of our food column is going to be filmed in London, so, so I think"

Yang Chen saw that Cai Lan was hesitant and couldn't tell the topic for a long time, so he was speechless and said: "You have something to say, don't be hesitant, Azhen just called me."

Hearing that Boss Yang was a little impatient, Cai Lan didn't talk nonsense and directly stated his purpose.

Since Asia Television launched a food column, Chua Lam's food program has become popular throughout Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and has even attracted widespread attention in Southeast Asia and other regions, including some Asian countries such as South Korea.

These days, programs like this are very eye-catching, especially after the end of World War II and the recovery of the global economy, which makes people at the bottom want to know about other countries besides their own.

In order to further expand the attention of the food show, Cai Lam immediately set his sights on Yang Chen. For this reason, he even tricked Li Lizhen, who had just finished filming the TV series, and wanted to use Li Lizhen's face to let Yang Chen appear on the show. A face.

Yang Chen listened to Cai Lan's nagging for a long time, and finally understood the other party's purpose. After thinking about it, he took a sip of the tea prepared by Lan Meiren without hesitating too much.

"Okay, I agree."

"Press?" On the other end of the phone, Cai Lan was a little confused. Boss Yang agreed so readily, which made him a little unbelievable. He looked at Li Lizhen and Guan Zhilin in front of him, and carefully asked the phone: "Old, Boss, what did you say? Can you say it again? My signal was not good just now."

"The signal is not good, you muck!" Yang Chen rolled his eyes and repeated: I said, I agreed. I have a manor in the UK. When the time comes, you can just come over and become a chef. I will let someone arrange it. good."

"Okay, okay, thank you boss, we will fly over right away."

After receiving the confirmation, Cai Lan was so excited that he could not speak clearly. It was not until he heard the sound of hanging up on the other end of the phone that he slowly put down the phone.

Li Lizhen blinked her eyes, looking expectantly, and asked: "Teacher Cai, has my brother agreed?"

"I agreed, I agreed, thank you, Miss Li. If it weren't for you this time, the boss would definitely not agree."

Cai Lan looked at Li Lizhen in front of him and secretly praised his wise decision.

Originally, he thought he would waste some words, but then Boss Yang seemed to agree without even thinking about it.

He knew that the reason Boss Yang agreed so readily was definitely not because Asia Television was a subsidiary of him. Compared with the other party's net worth, there was no comparability between the current Asia Television and the other party's net worth.

Of course, the other party couldn't do it because of Cai Lan's face. If Yang Chen was not as rich as the richest man in China a year ago, his face would still be of some use.

Now, Xiangjiang can ask Boss Yang to give face. Except for people at the level of the top ten richest people, what qualifications do other people have to ask the other party to give face? Don't ask for trouble.

Of course, people like Li Lizhen are another matter.

It has been like this since ancient times for heroes to have a hard time with beauties.

Everyone in the entire ATV knows that our boss Yang treats Li Lizhen as his sister. Even Chen Yulian loves her very much. Not to mention Huang Xizhao and other ATV executives, they simply treat her as their little ancestor.

As a member of Asia Television, Cai Lam dared to give it a try just because he saw the relationship between Li Lizhen and Boss Yang.

As Yang Chen's net worth increased dramatically, Li Lizhen received more resources from Asia Television. Under normal circumstances, Li Lizhen's scenes were basically directly assigned by Chen Yulian and Huang Xizhao.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire Asia Television, Li Lizhen enjoys the most resources besides Chen Yulian. As long as the role she wants is basically settled, even the general manager Huang Xizhao will not deny it easily.

The main reason why Li Lizhen agreed to Cai Lam to be the host of this food show this time was because she wanted to go to London to meet Boss Yang.

During this period, Yang Chen traveled all over the world and spent very little time in Xiangjiang. In addition, Li Lizhen also had scenes to film on weekdays. Most of this year has passed. Except for the two people seeing each other during the Chinese New Year, Li Lizhen did not even see Yang Chen's shadow at other times. Haven't encountered any.

So, under Cai Lam's deception, Li Lizhen directly pushed her next film and planned to make a guest appearance as a food show host.

Not to mention that Cai Lam was happy because Yang Chen agreed to record a food show, but after Yang Chen hung up the phone, he found his old butler, Uncle Xiang.

Yang Chen, a person who has no interest in Western food, really doesn't know what kind of food there is in the UK.

In later generations, he only watched one complaint show, which talked about dark cuisines from various countries around the world. Among them, the country with the most negative comments was the United Kingdom.

Uncle Xiang has been in the UK for twenty years, so he naturally knows the eating habits of the British. He heard that Yang Chen's TV station was coming to the UK to record a food program.

Uncle Xiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sir, the British daily eating habits are very simple. When it comes to food, for British people, French fries, fried fish and potatoes are the favorites of most British people in their daily lives. Food to eat.”

As he said that, Uncle Xiang paused and continued: "Actually, the British food, for us Chinese, oh, no, no, it should be that for the people of most countries, it is not considered food."

"The main reason here is that the British food culture is too simple and the food they eat is simple. Many foods are not considered delicacies at all and can only fill their stomachs at best."

"If you want to record a program to attract attention, I suggest you record an episode of the most unpalatable and unacceptable food. I think that will attract more attention."

After Yang Chen heard what Uncle Xiang said, he was startled for a moment, and then became a little confused. He didn't expect that the eating habits of the British would be so unwelcome to Uncle Xiang, an old butler.

Suddenly, curiosity arose.

Upon seeing this, Uncle Xiang introduced the British food culture to Boss Yang. As a housekeeper, Uncle Xiang knew as much as those of the upper class elites.

Especially for someone like Uncle Xiang who lives in a wealthy family and works as a housekeeper all year round, he needs to know a lot more.

If it were the beginning, Uncle Xiang would definitely not have made such suggestions. The most he could do was arrange the things Yang Chen ordered.

However, since Yang Chen left all the affairs of the manor to him, without interfering in them, Uncle Xiang gradually became more attentive.

After Uncle Xiang's explanation, Yang Chen finally understood why the other party made such suggestions.

As the leader of the first industrial revolution, the British were the empire on which the sun never set. They have always been in a leading position in the world in many aspects.

London is an international metropolis, where people can eat almost all the delicious food in the world.

However, as a part of British culture, British food is a food that everyone unanimously rejects.

Even the British themselves dislike their own country's food. If many people have to choose, French and Italian food are their first choices.

Why is all this happening?

This point must be explained carefully.

The British Empire was an empire that once ruled half of the earth and lasted for more than a century. All the rare things on earth can be found in their museums.

As for ingredients, from east to west, from north to south, in all regions of the world, there seems to be nothing that the British cannot get.

But that's it, the British food culture is so unbearable to look at.

With such doubts, we have to look through the history of British food.

In the earliest days, the food culture of the British was quite good, better than most countries in Europe. As a country that occupies an island and is so close to the European continent, the British food culture at that time, looking at the entire European continent, was

It's one of the best.

However, after the Industrial Revolution, the eating habits of the British people have changed a lot since then.

As we all know, Europe has always been full of large and small countries and has never been completely unified, so the population of each European country is very small.

And this small population means a shortage of labor.

As the first country to complete the Industrial Revolution in the early days, Britain paid a high price.

Among them, in terms of diet, the British made great concessions.

Due to global trade and the industrial revolution, most of the British people were concentrated in factories and worked hard. As a result, many British people did not pay too much attention to their daily diet.

Especially for the lower class people in the UK, in the early days, in order to fill their stomachs, everyone's staple food was the same, potatoes, potatoes, potatoes...

Busy people have no time to think about what to eat. Single food heavy in oil, salt and taste is the daily staple food of workers.

This subtle change, due to long-term accumulation, has already numbed people's sense of taste.

The monotonous and "make do" eating habits have become the daily routine of most working class people.

Britain was the first country in Europe to achieve industrialization and the country with the most complete industrialization. In order to develop its economy in the early days, Britain turned more than 90% of its people into textile workers.

Without the living space for agriculture, the British wanted to obtain food. In the early days when commercial trade was not as developed as it was in the 21st century, food materials were naturally not as abundant as in later generations.

The single ingredient makes it very difficult for British people to make the delicious food they like.

What really changed the British diet mainly came from ‘crazy canned food’.

In addition to the rapid economic development that industrialization brings, another "result" is truly industrial products with long shelf life, low transportation costs, and low prices.

Among them, canned food is the most important industrial product.

In fact, the sealed can technology was first invented by the French. At that time, Napoleon wanted to solve the food supply problem of the army, so the French combined their existing practical experience and invented the technology of sealed metal cans plus high-temperature sterilization to produce
