Chapter 124 What is the Delicacy Record?
After Li Shan begged Zhu Jin in vain, he received a call.
His expression changed several times, as if he wanted to explain something.
But he was interrupted by the person on the phone.
Finally, Li Shan hung up the phone dejectedly.
He stumbled out as if he had lost his soul.
Everyone looked at his departing back with either sympathy, joy or indifference.
About half a minute passed.
"Hey! Your camera!"
Qi Pei'er woke up suddenly and hurriedly chased after him.
Fu Chao sneered:
"Is there any need to worry? I probably won't need it in the future...Oh no, that guy didn't pay!"
After saying that, he chased after him.
Nanzhi smiled faintly and raised her hand to touch the top of Nanyi's head.
Then I found that Nan Yi was also laughing.
"Come on, let's go back to the kitchen."
There are so many orders that have not been completed.
Of course, the most important thing is... to keep a low profile.
"etc!"
Nanzhi stopped and turned around.
She found out that the person who called her was Zhu Jin.
His eyes seemed to be glowing and he rushed over like a fat tiger pouncing on its prey, too eagerly.
As a result, Nan Yi became alert subconsciously and took the initiative to stand in front of his mother.
"what you do?"
"fine."
Nanzhi gently pulled Nanyi to her side and looked at Zhu Jin with a questioning look.
Zhu Jin realized his abruptness belatedly and laughed awkwardly.
Then he remembered his purpose: "Oh, right! I came here to ask you if you are interested in having Nanjia Restaurant participate in the selection of the delicacies in the second half of this year?"
The people present and the audience in the live broadcast room have not yet recovered from the big news of "Li Shan being exposed in front of everyone".
Then, new explosive information hit me head on, and I felt dizzy...
[A record of delicacies? Is it a real record of delicacies? ]
[What a joke! This guy is Zhu Jin! He is not a fake like Li Shan, but the real chairman of the judging committee of the Treasures Record! A great gourmet! A super rich man!]
[Okay, okay, I get it. Are you really that excited? It's just a competition...]
[I was almost laughing out of anger. Some people just said something different when they were criticizing Nanzhi! They said she was marketing herself as a chef, asking for a slap in the face, and had an online car accident... I wrote it all down in my little notebook! ]
[How could any Chinese not know the value of the Delicacy Record? The personal invitation from the chairman of the jury is probably what everyone in the industry dreams of! ]
[Yes, I am a professional chef. If I were personally invited by Zhu Jin to participate in the selection of the delicacies, I would wake up laughing in my dreams in the middle of the night! ]
…
What is the Delicacy List? It is the most authoritative Chinese food evaluation list in the world! No other!
Zhenxiulu publishes a TOP100 list every six months, and the rankings change based on the judges' scores.
As long as you follow this list to eat, no one will step on the thunder! Therefore, every time a new list is released, diners from all walks of life flock to check in -
It is not uncommon for a store to be listed in the Gourmet Directory and go from being deserted to having booming business.
A small town that no one cares about has become a new popular tourist destination because of the recommendation of Zhenxiulu. This is the real evidence of the huge influence of this list! In addition, Michelin, which is the benchmark of Zhenxiulu, judges the star rating based on multiple aspects such as the taste of the dishes, the restaurant service, and the environment and facilities. Restaurants that can reach the highest standard of Michelin three stars are all very expensive.
The Record of Delicacies is different.
Its only criterion is to taste good!
Deliciousness is the supreme truth!
Therefore, affordable shops, night market snack stalls, roadside food stalls and the like often appear in the TOP100 list.
In addition to its evaluation list itself, Zhenxiulu has also expanded into a professional food magazine "Zhenxiu Meixiang" and an app "Zhenxiu Dianping" that caters to the Internet age.
Most of the former's subscribers are high net worth individuals who pursue a high-end lifestyle.
The latter is aimed at the general public and includes almost all restaurants of all sizes in China. Even ordinary people can participate in the scoring.
Especially for the younger generation, opening the review app before going out to eat and choosing a favorite restaurant based on ratings and other diners' reviews has become an indispensable step.
...From this, we can see how wide the influence of the Delicacy Record is! However, Nanzhi did not rush to answer.
She hesitated for a moment.
Amidst everyone's inner voices of "hurry up and agree", Nanzhi slowly spoke: "If the situation allows, of course I would be happy to do so. But the problem is that this store will not be open until the second half of the year. So... I'm sorry."
Guests and program crew members: Yes, they are recording a variety show.
Audience in the live broadcast room: Hmm, why do I always forget about this?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Diners in the restaurant: ...
"What? It won't be open until the second half of the year? Why?"
A curly-haired lady was so excited that she stood up and asked everyone present what they were thinking in public.
Nanzhi hummed softly:
"actually……"
The curly-haired lady rushed over first and grabbed Nanzhi's hand: "Stop! This has become our family's regular canteen every day. If you close the store, where will we go to eat?"
Nanzhi looked past the old lady and saw the table where she was sitting - a family of five, three generations, all neatly seated.
Nanzhi tried to explain:
"Auntie, we are..."
"Is it because the ingredients you use are too good and the profit you make is too little that you can't keep the business going? It doesn't matter! You can raise the price! Raise it as much as possible! We can afford it!"
The aunt interrupted Nanzhi very sincerely.
Nanzhi: ...
Others: …
I've only seen people cutting leeks.
I have never seen leeks jump out of the soil like spirits, begging to be cut! What magic do Nanzhi vegetables have?
[Unless you are possessed by a spell, you cannot understand it. ]
[This old lady's family is well off. A family of five eats here every day. It's not cheap! ]
[There are many wealthy natives in Yanjing! ]
[Ah, am I the only one who understands Auntie's feelings? A small restaurant that I used to love moved far away from my home. I was busy with work and couldn't go there once a week. I cried all night because I was wronged! I was not this sad even when I broke up with my boyfriend! ]
[Me too! I used to eat takeout from a restaurant that was open two days a week and closed five days a week, but I had to calculate the time and check in at their restaurant on two fixed days! It turns out that there are only starving diners in the world, not starving cooks! ]
…
This time, Nanzhi had to explain before the excited auntie could speak: "Auntie, we are recording a variety show."
The curly-haired lady was dumbfounded.
Except for the aunt, not everyone present knew the truth and was also surprised to hear it.
"What? It's not a restaurant but a variety show?"
“Will we be on TV then?”
"What's the name of the variety show?"
“…”
It happened that Fu Chao failed to catch up with Li Shan, and walked back with Qi Pei'er cursing.
As soon as the two entered the restaurant, someone pointed at him: "Ah! So you are really Fu Chao!"
