Rebirth 1994: Starting from laid-off workers

"This, this is all confused!"

Zhang Jiaqiang's forehead was covered with black lines, and he saw a big black goose lying on the plate. It was obviously burnt, and the rich aroma was mixed with a pungent burnt smell when he got closer.

Gao Yishao smiled awkwardly and said, "You eat the food inside this dish. The goose is just a container. It doesn't get in the way!"

As he spoke, he took a sharp sheep-faced kitchen knife from his son-in-law and sliced ​​open the goose's belly cleanly.

Suddenly the rich aroma of rice hit your nostrils, and the snow-white rice mixed with some other dishes revealed the true face of Mount Lu.

Zhang Jiaqiang was not polite, scooped up a bowl of the contents of the goose's belly, and tasted it carefully.

The taste is relatively bland, but the rice grains are soft and elastic, and it feels a bit like fried rice. Overall, it's a moderately good rating.

Zhang Jiaqiang motioned to Ye Xiumei and Zhuzi to try it too.

Gao Yishao looked at him expectantly, "Jia Qiang, how are you? Do you feel amazing!"

Zhang Jiaqiang said seriously, "It's quite satisfactory. Strictly speaking, there's nothing surprising about it. Don't be angry!"

Gao Yishao's face was immediately filled with disappointment, and he turned to look at Tiezhu and Ye Xiumei.

"It tastes good, um, pretty good!" Ye Xiumei said perfunctorily out of politeness.

But Tie Zhu just buried his head in eating. When he asked him, he raised his head and said - it's a little bland, it would be great if it could be paired with a dish!

Gao Yishao's whole body suddenly became sluggish, he raised his head and sighed.

"This is a famous dish from the prosperous Tang Dynasty that I collected from ancient materials. How could it not be delicious?"

Zhang Jiaqiang felt that his old man had gone too far.

"Elder Gao, you may have gone into a misunderstanding. Not all things inherited from ancient times are good. Otherwise, why would society develop? Just copy them all. I remember my teacher once said when I was in school, if you don't learn from the ancients, you will be wild. If you don’t innovate, you will be in danger. Not only the article, but also the dishes should keep pace with the times!”

"I feel that this dish is very similar to the Budai duck and Budai chicken in the Jiangnan area. I wonder if these two dishes are based on the goose dumplings of the Tang Dynasty. Maybe in the Tang Dynasty, the goose dumplings were very popular. It’s top-notch delicious food, but as times change, people’s tastes have changed and they can no longer adapt to it, so there are various innovations!”

"I feel that you should not stick to the same retro style. You should focus on exploring the advantages of tradition and integrating new things of this era. It should be better. This is just my personal opinion and is for reference only!"

After listening to this long speech, Gao Yishao suddenly realized, slapped Zhang Jiaqiang on the shoulder and said in surprise.

"You're right, boy. I'm an old fool. I don't stick to the past. I just want to restore the ancient classics with their original taste, but I forget whether modern people can accept it. Well, I'll make some improvements. Just wait a moment. I guarantee you'll be satisfied this time. !”

Zhang Jiaqiang stopped him in a hurry and felt uncomfortable after eating another meal of white rice.

"Don't be impatient. There is a long way to go to innovate and restore things. There is no need to rush for a while. Just make two simple specialties today. I have something urgent to discuss with you!"

"Okay, okay, wait a minute, I'm going to fry two side dishes. There's also braised food in the kitchen. I'll cut a plate for you to go with your wine. It'll be ready soon!"

Old Man Gao is over 70, but he can listen to advice, which is much better than those stubborn old people.

In a moment, Xu Dahai brought a large pot of braised meat and several ready-made cold dishes.

Zhang Jiaqiang was not polite and started eating the white rice in the goose.

After a while, Old Man Gao personally brought two special dishes.

Zhang Jiaqiang asked his wife and Zhuzi to have a good meal. He was full and wanted to talk about business with the old man.

"You said last time that you planned to develop your cooking skills. I have been busy with other things, and I was delayed for nearly a month. Don't be surprised!"

Gao Yishao said, "What are you talking about? I'm so grateful to you for thinking about this. How can you blame me? The idea you came up with last time was to add recipes to the instant noodle box. This is a good idea. I I heard that many people followed and learned from it, and it has been carried forward here!"

Zhang Jiaqiang said, "That's just a rumor. Consumers may not learn much from imitating cats and tigers. I plan to open a professional chef school as I said last time and let you be the principal. What do you think?"

Gao Yishao was overjoyed. It was not that he had never thought about opening a school, but he had been busy for half his life and had not saved much money. He was afraid that he would not be able to do it even if he tried to sell everything.

Now that Zhang Jiaqiang agrees to invest, it is simply a blessing.

"Okay, okay, don't say that I am still okay with my old bones. Even if I am in a wheelchair, I still have to be the principal!"

Zhang Jiaqiang nodded and said, "That's what I think. Now our dormitory area is being renovated. There are some commercial buildings around. I bought them all and then converted them into a star-rated hotel. It will be used as a school to train students." You can do an internship in a hotel and integrate learning and practice. Now there is no shortage of funds and land. The only thing missing is teachers. You are an old person and you can definitely handle it!"

Gao Yishao said happily, "It doesn't matter. I still have a group of old brothers who are idle at home. I can re-employ them. They can have something to do and develop their cooking skills. They will be happy without being paid. That's it!"

Xu Dahai pursed his lips and said, "Then our restaurant is about to close just after it started to improve!"

Without Master Gao, the restaurant will definitely return to its miserable state of operation and be close to closing.

Zhang Jiaqiang said with a smile, "Old Xu, you are worrying too much. Didn't I say that I would also open a hotel? Both of you are regarded as technical investors. When you become famous in the future, I believe you will definitely earn more than you do now!"

Xu Dahai was overjoyed, "Okay, this relationship is great, it's the best of both worlds!"

Zhang Jiaqiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "You must be the executive chef. If I give you the position of vice president, you have to go all out!"

......

Night falls in Yinzhou, casting a mysterious veil over this small city.

Colorful flags fluttered and red lights hung high in front of the Yinzhou Hotel, and the traffic outside was extremely lively.

The first local large-scale land auction was held in the large comprehensive conference room of this hotel!

It was just past 07:30, and leaders from all walks of life and entrepreneurs from all over the city had already arrived at the hotel in an endless stream.

To show his attention, Director Zhou Lusheng also attended the auction in person.

Broadsheets, tabloids, and various media outlets set up their long guns and short cannons, and the spotlights flashed frequently, adding a lot of color to the venue.

Even Zhang Jiaqiang's god-sister Chu Xin arrived at the scene with a press card. She stopped Zhou Lusheng without any scruples and smiled.

"Director Zhou, I am Chu Xin, a reporter from the news agency. Can I ask you a question?"

Everyone suddenly realized, no wonder he was so awesome, it turned out to be from the news agency, and other media outlets with ideas immediately stepped aside obediently.

Zhou Lusheng smiled lightly and said very generously.

"The press is free to interview. Just ask and I will answer everything you know!"

Chu Xin smiled brightly, "Thank you, Director Zhou, for supporting the work. I would like to ask if I heard that a giant gold mine was discovered in the Yinzhou area today, and you also went to inspect it personally. Is this true?"
