The Imperial Chef's Restaurant
On the day of the banquet.
The dignitaries from various countries had already arrived in Beijing, and after resting, they were taken to the Palace Museum by the staff.
Inside the museum, they not only had collections in front of them, but also huge empty corridors.
The wife of the President of Country C asked the staff curiously, "I remember the next procedure is a welcome banquet, not a museum visit. Although the Forbidden City is really great, it seems that this is not the time to visit it."
The staff member said, "The banquet hall is at the end of the corridor."
At this moment, the lights in the museum suddenly dimmed and turned into a colorful scene, with the sounds of flowing water and cranes calling, which surprised everyone.
"Ol, is this a projection?"
“There is no fault to be found in this projection technology.”
The staff explained: "This is an immersive sensory experience achieved using modern sound, light and electricity technology."
The politicians looked around and found that the entire space had changed as time passed. The exquisite ornaments, antique buildings, and even the ground beneath their feet had turned into bricks and stones.
"It scared me a little bit. It felt like a completely different space."
The staff member said: "This is the latest fourth-generation projection technology created by the Palace Museum. The inspiration comes from the Night Banquet of Han Xizai. The Night Banquet of Han Xizai is one of the ten famous paintings in China. It tells the story of an official named Han Xizai holding a night banquet and singing and having fun."
The American president's wife looked at the solemn gate in front of her, which was originally an empty corridor. "So we are guests now, right?"
"That's right, now guests, please move forward."
After hearing his words, everyone took a step forward, and when they were about to reach the gate, the gate opened.
The guests walked into the house.
This place was nothing like the banquet hall they had imagined. Even the huge round table that was standard had changed its appearance. The banquet did not use the round table that was commonly used in the past, but the seats set up in the Tang Dynasty.
Because the goal was to simulate an ancient painting, the overall lighting in the banquet hall was dim, while the tableware on the dining table was illuminated by spotlights.
The guests found their seats one by one according to the staff's arrangement. They sat in the room, as if they were people in the painting.
After everyone was seated, the stage at the front began to perform songs and dances. The country's top pipa player plucked the strings, and the sound flowed through the room like gurgling water.
Everyone was refreshed by the pleasant sound, and when the performance ended, they couldn't help but applaud.
"What a beautiful music! Is this a traditional Chinese musical instrument?"
"It seems so. It is an ancient musical instrument called Pipa."
Then, a dancer from the National Song and Dance Troupe performed a solo Liuyao dance, which was so graceful that it was a feast for the eyes. Someone was playing drums beside her, and the sound was ups and downs.
After the solo dance of Liuyao ended, the host finally announced the start of the banquet. But during the banquet, the music did not end. Five musicians sat in a row and started playing wind instruments.
Leaders from various countries picked up their cutlery amid the music, and some were even a little at a loss because they were unfamiliar with the usage.
The graceful dance music, immersive atmosphere and exquisite conception made them feel as if they were there, as if they were burdened. Their every move was inevitably restrained for fear of disrupting such a high-end banquet.
The president's wife lowered her voice and whispered, "Oh my God, I should have learned some Chinese table manners. I always feel that my original etiquette is not worthy of this banquet."
The president looked at her and remained silent, very steady.
Seeing him like this, the president's wife was a little embarrassed: "You are definitely not embarrassed, forget it, I won't ask you anymore."
Because everyone has different eating habits, there are various tableware on the table. The first lady can't use chopsticks, so she can only use a knife and fork.
As she picked up the tableware, she said with emotion: "The scene, music, accommodation, singing and dancing are so complete. The ancient officials of China really knew how to enjoy themselves."
The president remained silent, his mind full of thoughts.
In fact, he was a little restrained, but his wife didn't notice it.
The president looked at the dishes in front of him. His dishes were chosen by his wife, and they were exactly the same as his.
Green bamboos herald spring, lotus flowers bloom in summer, autumn is deep, and winter is cold.
The president doesn't know much about Chinese culture, but aesthetics is universal. All four dishes are beautiful.
The dish "Green Bamboo Heralding Spring" is not made of bamboo, but by cutting windows in cucumbers, scooping out the contents with a spoon, carving them into the shape of bamboo joints, and stuffing them with shrimp, peas, and corn. There are also bamboo leaves made of cucumber shreds on the side, which look as strong as real bamboo.
The president took a bite with a spoon, his eyes widened slightly, and nodded: "This tastes good."
The aroma of peas and corn mixed with cucumbers makes you feel refreshed. Shrimp is also a very fresh meat dish, which makes the whole dish refreshing but not as bland as vegetarian dishes.
Green bamboo heralding spring is a refreshing appetizer.
In Six Records of a Floating Life, it was written: "In summer, when the lotus flowers first bloom, they close in the evening and open in the morning. Yun uses a small gauze bag to scoop up a few tea leaves and places them in the center of the flower. The next morning, she takes them out and brews them with spring water. The fragrance is particularly outstanding."
Bai Yinuo first made the summer lotus tea, then boiled the lotus roots with the tea, and finally put a layer of lotus flowers on the bottom and added special brown sugar, and the summer lotus was ready.
Adding tea to cooking is a very common thing. It can nourish the essence of rice and vegetables and attack the greasy taste of meat.
Although the lotus root is sweet, it is not greasy. It has a refreshing and sweet taste. The lotus root is wrapped with the fragrance of lotus, tea, and spring water, leaving a lingering fragrance in your mouth.
These two dishes are mainly vegetarian, while the third one is a thoroughly hard dish.
The deep autumn flavor is represented by the crispy camphor tea duck.
The skin is crispy and the meat is tender, with a unique aroma. It has the aroma of both camphor trees and tea trees. This does not include seasonal vegetables in autumn. The reason for this name is probably because the reddish-brown crispy skin of the crispy camphor tea duck looks very much like autumn leaves.
This dish is loved by many people.
“It turns out that duck can taste so delicious.”
"This is better than the Peking duck I've ever had."
The First Lady ate several bites, but she was not happy, instead she was frustrated.
She looked at her husband and said, "It turns out that Chinese food is so delicious. I discovered it too late."
president: "..."
Although he was a little speechless, he had to say that the taste of the duck was beyond his imagination. It was crispy and fragrant, and people could not stop eating after taking a bite. In the end, they could only get an empty plate.
This dish is a chicken dish called Cold Days of Winter. As the saying goes, eating a chicken during the Cold Days of Winter means good health in the coming year. This dish requires filling the stomach with ingredients, including mushrooms, longans, red dates and wolfberries, and then boiling it in a winter melon pot, and then adding ingredients such as scallions and it's done.
Jiujiu chicken is a great tonic. As soon as you take a sip, the heat flows into your stomach, making you feel refreshed. The chicken is fresh and fragrant, making you feel satisfied.
Although these people are not Chinese and do not often eat Chinese food, it is not impossible to satisfy their tastes, at least Bai Yinuo did it.
Each of these dishes is fresh, fragrant and tender, leaving a deep impression on everyone who eats them.
The First Lady even wanted to ask the wait staff to call out the chef and give him a compliment, just like in high-end restaurants in her country.
But this was a state banquet and she couldn't do that, so the First Lady had to give up.
Those who did not choose the Bai Yinuo Four Seasons Set Menu were very satisfied, and those who chose the Bai Yinuo Four Seasons Set Menu were even more amazed. Overall, this welcome banquet was a home-like experience.
After the summit, the First Lady described the details of the banquet in detail on Twitter, which made people drool.
Foreign netizen: [Although I have never eaten Chinese food, my wife's tasting ability is beyond words.]
[I want to eat there too, but I can't.]
[This immersive dining experience is really cool.]
Not only the wife of the President of Country C, but also many politicians expressed their opinions on the banquet during interviews. Some praised the singing and dancing performances, while others praised the taste of the dishes. In short, there were no negative reviews.
But they are foreigners after all, so if they want to eat it again, they can only wait until the next banquet.
Because many leaders expressed their opinions, a wave of enthusiasm for understanding China's food culture has been set off abroad.
Many people who don't know much about China have a deep impression of it – “delicious”!
The words of many foreign leaders have resulted in a phenomenon, that is, tableware is selling better!
The tableware takes the Forbidden City as the core design element and is designed based on the real scene of the Forbidden City. It uses ink and wash techniques to depict the Forbidden City's corner towers, the Meridian Gate, the Hall of Supreme Harmony and other attractions, highlighting the grand beauty of the Forbidden City and adding elegance with gold rims and silver lines.
One set of tableware was even sold for more than 200,000 yuan, breaking the price record for state banquet tableware.
The tableware that was praised by the leaders made wealthy businessmen rush to buy it.
The Forbidden City's fourth-generation light and shadow effects also became famous because of this, attracting many tourists from home and abroad.
In short, this state banquet not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money.
When the news was spread back to China, netizens were extremely surprised when they saw it.
[So this is cultural export? Cool.]
[The chef of this banquet runs his own restaurant. Although it is difficult to eat at Baiji, you can still eat there if you wait a little longer.]
[Don’t tell them. If you tell them, we will have more competitors!]
Everyone immediately shut up, refusing to reveal anything about Bai Ji. They couldn't even eat it themselves, so they didn't want to share it with people abroad.
Because the banquet was a great success, Bai Yinuo received many awards.
The person in charge couldn't hide his smile: "Looking forward to our next cooperation."
Because of his excellent performance this time, he was even promoted to a higher level. He knew who brought him this, so after getting the news, he immediately called to express his gratitude.
Bai Yinuo hummed and said with a smile: "If there is a chance."
In fact, ever since she received rave reviews, she has been targeted by many people and has received calls from many superiors, all hoping to sign her.
Bai Yinuo can design tableware with masters, organize singing and dancing performances, and be a chef. He is an all-round talent!
Who doesn’t want it?
Person in charge Zhang didn't know about this and hung up the phone happily.
Bai Yinuo also wanted to host a state banquet, so she didn't refuse. After all, the bonus for a state banquet is huge, and it also allows her to meet many people in the industry. Now, she has the contact information of many domestic chefs in her mobile phone, which are all connections!
So later on, Bai Yinuo got a nickname "the nail house of the state banquet."
She did not leave the capital, but was still in the museum, but it was the National Cuisine Museum.
During the competition, her video of restoring the Wangchuan map was repeatedly watched and studied by many professionals, but the restored model was completely inferior to hers. As soon as the state banquet was over, she was invited to the museum by the impatient curator.
In the following month, Bai Yinuo continued to help with the recovery. Because of her quick and good recovery, many people had a better impression of her.
Bai Yinuo had a good time in this place, but she didn't forget that she was a restaurant owner. Now that the New Year was over, it was time for her to go back to Hai City.
Not only did she have to go back to Hai City to expand the store, but she also had to settle in the new chef.
After hearing this, the curator said with great understanding: "If it is inconvenient for you to come to Beijing, our team can go to Haishi. Transportation is very convenient now."
"Well, that's good too."
"Oh, right." The curator said, "Didn't I tell you before that the country will not treat you unfairly? The application I submitted earlier was approved."
Bai Yinuo was a little confused. She had already received the bonus, so what other rewards were there?
"What is the application?"
"Do you want to join the staff?" The curator said, "Through the talent introduction method, you can become a staff member of our museum and receive a state subsidy."
The Beijing Museum is a public institution, and the people inside are divided into regular and non-regular staff. It is becoming increasingly difficult to get a regular position, and this regular position was obtained with great difficulty.
After Bai Yinuo understood all the details, he understood.
Isn't this just working for the government? This is her main job.
Moreover, the establishment of a public institution does not affect her business, but instead provides her with a stable job.
All in all, this is a win-win situation with no harm.
The curator said: "In short, life will be almost the same whether you join the system or not."
Bai Yinuo did not refuse and nodded: "If possible, I would like to join."
The curator was beaming with joy. Now that Bai Yinuo was one of his own, it would be much more convenient to ask for help from him in the future.
Others did not have a negative opinion about Bai Yinuo getting the position. Instead, they felt that it was what she deserved.
After all, there are always people who can compile it, but there is no one who can restore the original Wangchuan map. Not to mention that what she has is not just a simple Wangchuan map.
Hongning District is not a central urban area, but it is still the son of Haishi, and the city is developing very fast. After this rectification, the black street has changed a lot.
Illegal buildings were demolished, various irregularities were rectified, and the walls were repainted.
After Bai Yinuo and the others returned to Hai City, they saw the brand new Black Street. If she wasn't so familiar with Black Street, she wouldn't even recognize it.
She returned to the store and before she could settle down, the urban management staff came to her door.
The city management informed the merchants of the status of the projects in various places, and then said to Bai Yinuo: "The Black Street has invested a lot of money and manpower this time, and pavilions and other public facilities have been built nearby."
Bai Yinuo smiled and said, "That's great, but why do you want to do this?"
"Don't you know the reason?" The urban management officer was a little puzzled.
"What's wrong?"
The city management officer said: "It's because of Bai Ji!"
The captain of the urban management team was also an old acquaintance, so he said without hesitation: "Your street has a lot of traffic. The nearby food streets can't compare to yours at all, so the district government plans to plan Hei Street as a key development area, and has invested a lot of money."
Bai Yinuo understood: "So that's how it is."
The city management officer smiled and said, "That's right. According to the backend data, six months ago, after Baiji reopened, the average traffic on this street increased tenfold, and even the sales of the surrounding businesses increased significantly. Do you think we should develop it?"
Many people come to Baiji to eat, and after eating they often go shopping, buy some snacks, and buy some toys. A small business district centered on Baiji has formed here.
"Thank you, district government." said Bai Yinuo.
After the urban management left, Bai Yinuo didn't have time to rest and prepared to look for a shop.
Although the current second-floor shop is not small, it is still too small for the chefs she hired and there is no room for development. Bai Yinuo plans to at least double the size of the shop.
Locals know local affairs, and Bai Yinuo found the neighbors first.
Because of Baiji, the turnover of most businesses increased, and the neighbors who were originally friendly to Bai Yinuo treated her as their own daughter. When they heard that she was looking for a store, they immediately mobilized their relatives and friends to look for it.
After a lot of trouble, they finally found it, and it was just upstairs from Bai Ji.
The building where Baiji is located is a high-rise building with five floors at the highest and a loft on top. It has a bit of a leftover Western style.
The third, fourth, fifth and attic floors above Baiji are all vacant.
This is an act of squandering resources in the black streets where every inch of land is valuable.
Bai Yinuo called and heard the sound of playing cards through the receiver.
After Bai Yinuo finished speaking, the man on the other end paused and asked, "You dialed the wrong number, is that house mine?"
Bai Yinuo took a look at the phone, confirmed it was correct and said, "Yes, this is your phone number you left at the property management."
"I can sell it, but when did I buy the house there?" Zhang Ruo wondered.
Bai Yinuo and Zhang Ruo were both a little confused, and finally they agreed to meet in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Zhang Ruo arrived in a luxury car.
He looked up at the house above, and clasped his hands together as if he had thought of something. "Oh, I remember now. Three years ago, my friend was going abroad, and he transferred the house to me before he left. I received the title deed, but I never had time to look at the house, and then I forgot about it."
Bai Yinuo then said: "Can you sell the house upstairs to me?"
"But I'm not short of money, and I'm too lazy to sell this house," said Zhang Ruo.
Bai Yinuo talked to Zhang Ruo for a while, but the other party didn't give in. Zhang Ruo was dressed elegantly and didn't look like someone who was short of money. The price of the house in Haishi was changing every day and it was always rising, so he really didn't need to sell it.
Bai Yinuo sighed.
If Bai Ji could buy this house, it would become a five-story building with a loft on the top floor, almost doubling its capacity. That would be perfect.
But the landlord was unwilling to sell it, so even if she had enough money, she couldn't buy it.
Even though the deal didn't go through, the friendship remained. Bai Yinuo remained friendly and said, "Okay, thank you. It's almost time for dinner now, do you want to come over to our place for dinner?"
"You run a restaurant?"
"Um."
"Okay." Zhang Ruo was a little hungry, so she followed Bai Yinuo into Bai's.
Baiji is not open yet, and there are no customers in the store. Bai Yinuo prepared four dishes and a soup, and the new chefs also prepared one dish each.
Zhang Ruo was playing with his mobile phone when suddenly an enticing fragrance filled the air. He couldn't help but put down his phone and look at the dishes on the table.
Because others also wanted to taste the dishes she cooked at the state banquet, she still prepared the Four Seasons set menu.
"Green bamboos herald spring, lotus flowers bloom in the summer..."
The more Zhang Ruo listened, the more familiar it sounded. She said with some confusion, "Why do I feel like I've heard the names of these dishes on the news recently? It seems like the wife of the president of country C tweeted about it..."
"Oh, now I remember, the state banquet that has been on the hot search recently is these four dishes. Can you also cook the dishes of the state banquet chef?" Zhang Ruo was surprised.
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the people around him changed, and they all looked a little subtle.
Zhang Ruo was confused: "Why did you suddenly stop talking?"
Su Momo said: "The four dishes at the state banquet were made by our boss."
"Fuck, you are just bragging." Zhang Ruo took out his cell phone and opened the news he had read before. The chef's name was written on it.
The chef's name is Bai Yinuo and the restaurant is also called Bai Ji.
Zhang Ruo's hands trembled and she almost dropped her phone. She was shocked: "The state banquet chef."
As soon as this name came out, in Zhang Ruo's eyes, the whole small restaurant became magnificent and solemn.
After tasting the dishes cooked by Bai Yinuo, this impression was even more profound.
An Qing and Jiang Xinyi were more straightforward and praised all four dishes. Although An Yan did not emphasize the praise, the speed at which he ate was enough to show how satisfied he was.
After finishing his meal, Zhang Ruo did not leave. He seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he was constipated.
Bai Yinuo was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhang Ruo said, "I just read the reviews online. They said that it's hard to get food here. If I sell the house to you, you can reserve a seat for me in the future. Of course, I will pay for it."
When you are surrounded by mountains and rivers and think there is no way out, you will find another village when you look up.
Zhang Ruo actually agreed to sell the house!
As for the seats, that is a very small matter.
Bai Yinuo smiled and said, "Of course."
"It's settled then." Zhang Ruo said.
Bai Yinuo was a little absent-minded after hearing his words. In fact, she really didn't expect Zhang Ruo to agree so readily. She was already prepared to find someone else.
I heard that there is ping-pong diplomacy now, so is this - eating diplomacy?
Bai Yinuo has a lot of money, not only from his own earnings, but also from competition bonuses, state banquet bonuses, museum bonuses, and money from Xiao Yu... In short, there is no need to worry about not being able to buy these houses. If there is not enough, you can temporarily borrow money from the bank.
All three floors are spacious, and the attic is also large enough to be converted into a restaurant.
After making the plan, Bai Yinuo found Xu's father again and discussed the decoration matters with him.
The first and second floors were originally decorated in an antique style. She planned to decorate the third, fourth and fifth floors in an antique style, and the sixth floor attic in a Western style. The sixth floor was decorated in this way for Jiang Xinyi's Western-style guests.
Bai Yinuo's dishes remained the same, but other people's dishes were added later. Bai's menu became much longer, and other people's dishes were time-consuming, labor-intensive, and material-intensive, and were generally priced high.
Bai Yinuo was actually a little worried that the customers might not be able to accept the restaurant after it had undergone a major transformation.
But things went against her expectations. The guests quickly adapted to the new dishes and even enjoyed them. The guests who were short of money didn't mind seeing that the previous dishes were still there. The rich people were delighted when they saw the new dishes. They were not short of money, they just wanted to eat well, and the new dishes were just to their liking.
"Wuhu, five chefs, five times the happiness."
"Boss Bai, let me climb the wall for a minute, I'll be back soon."
"It's a good idea to hire a new chef. The boss has skinny arms and legs, and I'm afraid she'll be exhausted. It's definitely not me who's unfaithful."
"I've long felt that the space is too small, and it would be better if it could be expanded."
Bai Yinuo finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the guests were adapting well.
Ji Zihuai's cooking skills have reached a new level. After tasting his cooking, the guests were amazed.
"Oh my god, it turns out that Baiji's kitchen helpers are so awesome!"
"So this is the legendary sweeping monk?"
"He and Boss Bai made it to the finals together. He was taught by Boss Bai, and with his family background, he won't be bad."
The Yuan family dishes cooked by the An family brothers are extremely delicious and popular internationally, and soon attracted a large number of customers.
"I have no regrets in my life because I can eat the food of Wenhuilou in Haishi."
