Chapter 560 My Silly Brother
"Dad, we didn't notice it," the little ones clung to his legs to show their presence.
The little girl gave him a thumbs up and praised him tenderly, saying, "Dad is the best. He is very calm and knows how to bluff people!"
An Zhiqiu laughed, picked her up and threw her up, then caught her steadily as the little girl screamed in fear, "Come on, your dad has made money, let's take a good look around the capital of Country M before our visa expires, take some photos, and explain to your grandma when we go back."
The children jumped up and down with joy.
When they were born, their family conditions were already good, and with An Zhixia around, the children started to learn early and received bilingual education. Despite their young age, they all spoke Y language fluently with pure pronunciation, and could be recognized as Xia descendants when they walked on the street.
Although the competition was going on intensely and the children could not go out to play, they were in high spirits and accepted all new things. They also liked to pester the waiters to tell them about local things.
They were full of curiosity about the new country and couldn't wait to explore it.
At this moment, An Zhixia was even more thoughtful and presented the travel guide that she had made and mass-printed. This guidebook will be presented in eight languages in the Xiahua Hotel to help tourists visit the capital of Country M according to their itinerary.
The children took the strategy to study, and An Zhiqiu smiled and told them about the situation when he was surrounded just now.
"Brother, don't worry about this. The company will have dedicated staff to contact and negotiate with them. Then I will screen and check again to make sure there are no problems, and then leave it to you to decide." An Zhixia had already anticipated this.
There were no major international competitions in the month when the International Chef Competition was held, so the international public was focused on it. Moreover, this was the first International Chef Competition, and one of the organizers was Xia Huaguo, so the popularity was getting higher and higher.
As the main force of Xiahua chefs, An Zhiqiu fought beautifully all the way and won the final victory, winning the title of the first God of Cooking. He was permanently listed on the honor roll in the lobby of Xiahua Hotel next to the joint organization, which brought business opportunities to many companies.
Therefore, as soon as the competition ended, they couldn't wait to sign An Zhiqiu as the spokesperson to increase the popularity of their company's products.
"Just watch me, I don't understand these," An Zhiqiu scratched his head and said with a chuckle.
An Zhixia pursed her lips and smiled, "My silly brother, don't you know what this means?"
An Zhiqiu was a little confused, "Isn't it just an endorsement?"
As his sister for nine years, An Zhixia knew that her brother had not yet reacted. She looked at her sister-in-law, who also did not show much emotion, and said with a helpless smile: "Brother, you are the first chef god recognized by the international organization. You can be said to be a milestone figure in the culinary world.
And you are a living signboard. In the future, your store will not need to advertise at all. Many people will come here because of your reputation. It will be enough for you to open your private dishes all over the country, and even the world!
You will also be invited to become the spokesperson for many brands, such as stoves, food, catering companies, condiments...
This advertising fee is no longer a small matter. After all, it is aimed at the international public. Brother and sister-in-law, do you understand what I mean?"
The two looked at each other in a daze for a long time. An Zhiqiu grunted and uttered, "Sister, can I sit at home and count the money now?"
He became excited belatedly and clenched his fists. He never expected that he, who was despised by his classmates, mistreated by his stepmother, ignored by his adoptive father, and who had struggled back from the brink of death with his sister several times due to hunger and cold, would one day be so successful, bring glory to the country, and place the monument of Xiahua's culinary skills at the top of international cuisine.
Although all this was the result of his unremitting efforts step by step, it still seemed so unreal, like a dream of the little match girl.
"Yes," An Zhixia smiled, "Brother will be an international celebrity in the future. Not only that, he will often be invited to participate in various industry exchange and cooperation activities abroad.
In future international cooking competitions, you will also be able to participate as a judge or special guest.
How about it, great celebrity An Zhiqiu, how do you feel?
Are you excited? Can you give us a speech for winning the award? "
An Zhiqiu tapped her forehead and said, "You're already a mother, but you're still so naughty."
Although he said so, he really had to look serious. He chose a position facing everyone and bowed. He coughed and said, "I can achieve such success today. I have to thank the organization for its training, my sister for her support and companionship, my wife for her loyalty, and my children for their obedience and understanding..."
Everyone burst into laughter at his overly formal appearance.
After laughing, An Zhixia couldn't help but ask, "Brother, do you have any plans for the future?"
An Zhiqiu looked at her warily, "What's the matter? Has Teacher Xiao An already made a complete plan for me?"
An Zhixia nodded bluntly, "Yes, as the first chef winner of Xia Huaguo, you must be fully utilized.
Our chef competition will hold a major session every four years and a minor session every two years.
We have a wide variety of delicious food in Xiahua, but there are only a few chefs who can really support it. So, my brother has one more task, which is to train top international chefs to prepare for the second chef competition! "
An Zhiqiu's expression became more serious and solemn, "This is what I should do. I will definitely train a group of excellent chefs!"
Just like what the chef from Country R said, the strength of one person means nothing. Only the strength of a group of people and an entire country is truly unquestionable strength.
After talking about the business, everyone packed up and went to explore the capital of Country M, including the zoo, natural history museum, aviation and space museum, amusement park, chief's memorial hall, cathedral, national mall, library, national gallery, wax museum, monument, tidal lake, Mark River, etc.
Walking through the streets, the children deeply realized that there was such a huge gap in all aspects between their country and the world's powerful countries at that moment, and the eyes of foreigners around them were not very friendly.
The children, who were originally cheerful and happy, became silent and depressed.
An Zhixia and her friends did not try to counsel the children immediately, but instead gave the children cameras and asked them to take touching photos.
Fang Gexin occupied one alone, and the shutter button kept clicking loudly, as if she had a grudge against it. In just three days, she used ten rolls of tape.
Every day when she returned to the dormitory, she took out a pen and notebook and buried her head in writing, puffing out her cheeks as she wrote down in detail what she had seen and heard along the way.
An Zhixia also cultivated the good habit of writing diaries in other children.
