Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 957 Chef Competition

Listening to Nan Yi's words, Chen Changan also felt a little emotional.

Nan Yi has been here since Chen Changan started to set up the motorcycle factory.

But Nan Yi's background and abilities can be said to have reached the limit of his career in the automobile factory.

Although he and Liang Ladi are both working, Nan Yi is also the canteen director, which is considered pretty good compared to ordinary families.

But everyone has the right to pursue a better life.

With the reform and opening up, self-employed individuals have gradually been accepted by the public.

"The one who makes missiles is not as good as the one who sells tea eggs." This is not a lie.

I see people whose cooking skills are far inferior to mine opening small restaurants on the roadside and earning more in a month than my annual salary.

In addition, several children in the family were also facing marriage, so Nan Yi and Liang Ladi finally chose to resign.

“Okay, if I stop you, it seems like I don’t want you to make money.

Now is indeed a good time. You can slowly expand the restaurant and make it stronger. It will be better than running a canteen in a car factory.

Director Strong.

I'm used to eating your food, but I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it anymore in the future. Do you have any fellow apprentices who are willing to come to the factory?

You can also introduce one to me, otherwise I am afraid that my picky mouth you have made me unable to handle it. "

Nan Yi said apologetically.

“Director Chen, it’s not that I help each other, it’s mainly because I really don’t have many fellow apprentices.

But you can host a chef convention just like you would a martial arts convention.

Our chef community is just like the martial arts community, where no one is willing to submit to anyone else.

There are various sects in the martial arts world, and only through a competition can one know who has the better martial arts skills. This is also the reason why there were so many casualties in the martial arts competitions.

In our chef community, there are also four major cuisines and eight major cuisines.

Whether it is the four major cuisines or the eight major cuisines, these are the mainstream, and there are some independent factions outside of them.

For example, Tan family cuisine, Confucius family cuisine, Suiyuan cuisine, and Red Mansion cuisine.

It is said that there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. The same is true for cooking.

It is said that Huaiyang cuisine is the main dish at state banquets, but if you ask whether Huaiyang cuisine is the best in the world, I guarantee that someone will jump out to object.

If you want to find a good chef, it's easy. Just hold a chef competition and call on all the chefs from all over the country to gather in the city and show off their unique skills.

You can be the judge yourself, and in this way, you can directly recruit the chef whose taste is more suitable for you.

With the reputation of the Sijiucheng Automobile Factory and the ranking in the chef competition, who wouldn’t be tempted?

Even I am a little tempted. If I can really get a ranking and put it in a newly opened restaurant, the business will definitely be booming."

"Why? Even you, Nan Yi, are not sure of getting a place?"

"Well, I have the courage to fight against the best players in the country, but I'm not sure about getting a good ranking.

Back then, I learned how to cook imperial court cuisine, but I haven’t seen those ingredients for decades.

Over the years, I have been cooking either big pot dishes or home-cooked stir-fries, and my cooking skills have almost been lost.

The specialties I’m talking about now are all not presentable.

I know my own limitations, so I won't go up and embarrass my master."

After the meal, Nan Yi hurried back. There were many things to do in running a restaurant, and his family was counting on the restaurant business in the future.

Afterwards, Chen Changan went directly to the department to discuss the chef competition with Uncle Nie.

"You want to hold the first national chefs' conference?"

Uncle Nie looked at Chen Changan in surprise. This chef and the car factory were completely unrelated.

"Why do you want to hold this competition? Shouldn't you hold a worker skills competition, which is more suitable for your status?"

“Today, the factory cafeteria director, Master Nan Yinan, resigned from my post.

As a well-known chef in the city, the highest position our automobile factory can give him is canteen director.

Even with bonuses, his salary is still much lower than those of self-employed individuals outside.

In order to hire a good chef, many private restaurants have already offered a sky-high price of three hundred or even five hundred yuan a month.

Moreover, Nan Yi is the heir of palace cuisine, but after so many years of cooking in the factory every day, his original skills have been almost lost.

I was thinking of organizing a chef competition, the main purpose of which was to inherit and develop cooking skills.

Through competition, they have a platform to communicate and learn from each other.

Suibian was also preparing to find a good chef for the car factory after Chef Nan left. "

After hearing what Chen Changan said, Uncle Nie laughed out loud.

"What do you mean by inheriting skills? I think you just feel that Nan Yi is gone, so you want to find a good chef for your factory."

Chen Changan was not embarrassed and said.

"It's not just our car factory. Doesn't the canteen in the ministry need it?

Are state banquets and several hotels for receiving foreign guests no longer necessary?

Everyone needs it, but our car factory needs it more.”

Uncle Nie nodded and said.

"Okay, anyway, your car factory is very wealthy, and the people's living standards have been getting better and better in recent years.

If you want to hold it, then hold it. It will also open my eyes to see what kind of cooking you can do."

"Then I'll arrange a spot for you as a judge? And you can also give your comments while enjoying the food?"

“It’s fine to eat, but forget about reviewing. They are all professionals, and I’m an outsider. I’ll make a fool of myself if I open my mouth.

Just think of it as me supporting your car factory in hosting this competition, and I will go to support you when the time comes."

"If you still have to take care of me, then it's settled."

Then Chen Changan went directly to the Ministry of Commerce. After finalizing the details of the competition with the Ministry of Commerce, Chen Changan returned to the factory and waited for the competition to begin.

Following a notice from the Ministry of Commerce, state-owned restaurants and industry associations across the country all received notification of the competition.

Even local newspapers began to publish information about the competition.

It was just as Nan Yi said. In order to prove that their hometown dishes were the best, many chefs who thought they were good signed up.

In just a few days, the Ministry of Commerce received feedback from many places, all of which wanted to send representatives to participate in the competition.

It was already very cold in Sijiu City in November, but chefs from all over the country came to Sijiu City with eager hearts.

The purpose is to prove that the cuisine they represent is the best in the country.

What Chen Changan didn't expect was that the matter of the competition became more and more serious.

Before everyone arrived, the war of words had already begun in the newspapers.

Even the leaders above began to take it seriously and directly held the event in the small auditorium. At the same time, even foreign ambassadors began to pay attention.

The arrival of more than 20 foreign media outlets also made this game more interesting.
