    Duyuan called to inform him about the gourmet cooking competition.  Unexpectedly, Jiang Yichen expressed his unwillingness to participate after thinking about it.  "What, you're out of your mind. Such a good opportunity is wasted. Do you know how much it costs to be on TV and advertise? Oh, do you think the competition is too low-level? Let me tell you, this is not one of those messy competitions.  , the authority of the City Gourmet Association" Duanyuan thought that the other party did not understand the nature of the event, so he quickly gave a detailed explanation.  "Don't make wild guesses, that's not what I meant." Jiang Yichen interrupted his words.  There are three reasons why he does not want to participate in the cooking competition: First, the current Dingxiangyuan is not an unknown person. It has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the vast group of mid-range diners in Linjiang City. The store is very popular and the supply exceeds demand. Customers have to queue up to eat at the door.  Number.  There is no need to rely on an event to become famous and attract business.  Secondly, the dishes in the cooking competition are not just limited to taste and aroma. It is a comprehensive examination of all aspects of color, aroma, taste, meaning and shape, which requires very high personal skills and literacy of the chef.  Dingxiangyuan mainly specializes in spicy hotpot, relying on special seasonings and island-produced vegetables, so the store has not yet hired a professional chef.  The existing kitchen staff, apart from other things, cannot pass the level of knife skills alone.  As for asking professional chefs to help temporarily, there is no need.  Furthermore, the store is currently very busy. If dedicated manpower is allocated to participate in the competition, a lot of preparations must be made before and after, which will definitely affect the job and is not worth it.  He roughly explained the above reasons to the other party and concluded that he should forget it.  "Well, that's true. Your Dingxiang Garden is so awesome right now, and it seems like there's really no shortage of free advertising." Duanyuan pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then felt relieved.  After a moment, he made another suggestion.  It doesn't matter whether you participate or not, but the scale of this event is not small. Many first-line established restaurants in Linjiang will send their strongest people to compete.  It can be described as a gathering of talents.  It would be a pity to miss this gluttonous feast.  He knew the people on the organizing committee.  When the time comes, you can get some front-row VIP tickets, and then we can go to the venue together as an audience to experience it.  Of course, there is no need for the preliminary round, and at least you have to wait until the quarter-finals to see anything.  Jiang Yichen immediately agreed to this proposal.  I am already planning a seafood restaurant here, so it would definitely be beneficial to see the work of many top chefs in the high-end catering industry in Lingjiang.  You must know that cooking dishes are often seen on TV, illustrated magazines and other media.  But it's completely different to watch it live and watch it up close.  By the way, we have to take Ma Detao with us to broaden our horizons. That guy will be the boss of the seafood restaurant in the future, and he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.  The two of them chatted for a few more words, and Du Yuanyuan said that he was waiting for his notification about this matter, and then hung up the phone.  Jiang Yichen put his phone back on the coffee table and continued to rest on the sofa with his hands on the pillow, thinking deeply in his heart.  Speaking of the seafood restaurant, it was quite different from what I had originally expected. Unexpectedly, finding the restaurant turned out to be a hassle.  Since the issue of sea area use rights was resolved.  Ma Detao turned his main energy to the preparations for the seafood restaurant.  During this period of time, he traveled to many places in Linjiang City and also checked various related information online.  But work is progressing slowly, and a suitable location has yet to be found.  The guy was afraid that things would go wrong and his manager's hat would fly away. Now he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.  But if you think about it carefully, this situation is not surprising.  Because the planned restaurant has a high positioning, the building grade, business area, parking space and various supporting hardware facilities cannot be vague.  Although the location does not necessarily have to be in the bustling area of ??the city center, it can be a little remote, but the transportation must be convenient, and the surrounding environment must not be dirty or messy.  It is indeed not that easy to find a shop that meets the above conditions.  As for the ready-made high-end restaurants and restaurants.  The number itself is relatively small, and many of them are time-honored brands.  It has its own stable customer base and its operations are operating normally.  Naturally, it will not be closed down and transferred easily.  It's not like the small restaurants that can be seen everywhere on the streets. One is open today and the other is closed tomorrow. The turnover is frequent, and latecomers can join in at any time.  Forget it, this kind of thing has to be left to chance, there is no need to rush, just let it go.  Jiang Yichen thought of this, turned over on the sofa, and soon fell asleep.  In the evening, Jiang Yichen had dinner served from the kitchen in the office, and then drove back to his rental house on Guangping Street.  As soon as he entered the house, a fragrant mixed aroma hit him, and the aroma of green onions was particularly prominent. As soon as he smelled it, he knew that it was undoubtedly the special green onions produced on the island.  If you think about it again, it should taste like mille-feuille cake.  As for the Koufu Thousand Layer Pancake, although it is one of his main businesses, since he usually spends most of his time in Dingxiang Garden, he rarely eats this kind of stuff.  So it is not as familiar as the smell of green onions alone.  He put on his slippers and walked into the living room. As expected, he saw the TV on and Ma Detao, wearing a dark blue autumn coat, sitting on the sofa, enjoying a bite of pancakes and a mouthful of beer.  On the coffee table in front of him were several yellow paper bags and a glass beer bottle.  "Oh, you really know how to enjoy it." Jiang Yichen glanced at it, then walked to his room with his bag.  "Nothing better than"Boss Jiang, you have a kitchen waiter waiting on you every meal. It's almost time to catch up with the emperor for dinner."  Hey, by the way, why doesn¡¯t the staff canteen of Dingxiangyuan serve this pancake?  It saves me having to wait in long queues when buying outside.  Ma Detao turned around and made a suggestion. "Staff canteen?"  That can't afford this thing.  "Jiang Yichen shook his head. Just kidding, so far, the market supply of thousand-layer cakes has been in short supply. The dealers have requested to increase production countless times, but due to the limited production of special seasonings, they have never been able to  Satisfied. As for the employee canteen, it is simply impossible. "Look, capitalists are capitalists. They are reluctant to give their employees any good things. Years of training and education by the party are in vain."  "Ma Detao took a sip of beer and sighed. Jiang Yichen didn't bother to pay attention, unscrewed the door handle and entered the room. Thousand-layer cakes were a food that appealed to Ma Detao, and he had often bought them before. But it wasn't until he joined the team that he  It turned out that Koufuduo and Dingxiangyuan belonged to the same boss. He was the roommate who had been average in the first three years of college, but suddenly had a strange outburst before graduation. At that time, he felt that his brain was completely insufficient and he could not use common sense.  To understand this phenomenon, he even once suspected that the other party was possessed by aliens like in fantasy comics. In order to confirm this guess, he deliberately mentioned several things that happened on campus in the first two years during the chat.  , but the other party's response was nothing unusual. This also made him feel that his IQ was obviously declining, so he stopped quickly and did not dare to think about it anymore. Jiang Yichen tidied up the room and was about to turn on his laptop to surf the Internet when he suddenly heard something outside.  There was an exclamation: "Hey, Chenzi, come out quickly and take a look!  Kuofu is on TV more.  "It's strange. I haven't received any news about interviews from TV reporters recently. What's going on? Jiang Yichen was very puzzled after hearing this, so he opened the door and walked out. "Look, look, it's Qiongzhou Tourism TV.  "Ma Detao stopped eating and stretched his right arm to point at the TV. Jiang Yichen looked around and saw a beautiful young woman holding a microphone appearing on the TV screen. Judging from her posture, she should be a host. Behind her, there was a  There was a food shop with a row of triangular advertising flags hanging above the window, with the words "Good Food" printed on it. There was a long queue outside the shop's sales window. Jiang Yichen immediately sat on a single sofa on one side.  I wanted to see what happened. After watching it for a while, I realized that this is a new food program launched by Qiongzhou Tourism TV. The host travels around the country, and the theme is to discover local specialties and snacks and introduce them to the audience one by one.  When I arrived in Linjiang City, I didn¡¯t know whether it was by chance or someone¡¯s recommendation, but I turned my camera on Koufuduo (To be continued)¡­
