A week later.
In Shanghai, a plane from the United States landed at the airport, and a man in a suit and sunglasses got off the plane. As soon as he arrived at the arrival hall, a female reporter and a cameraman came to meet him.
"Excuse me, is this Mr. Tao Jitao?"
The man took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes that could not be denied. He said in a calm tone: "Yes, I am Tao Ji, the architect Tao Ji."
"Hello, Mr. Tao. We are reporters from the Xinqing Evening News. Congratulations on winning the silver medal of the Independent Architecture Award in the beautiful country of California. We would like to ask you, after achieving such success in the beautiful country, why did you choose to return to China for development?"
Tao Ji smiled slightly and said in a tone that cared about the world: "Although I have always been in the United States, I have always been paying attention to the development of the country. In my opinion, China, which is developing rapidly, is the new direction for the development of future architects! A new future!"
"You mean to say that you are more optimistic about the development of China's construction industry, right?"
"Yes!"
After a pause, Tao Ji added: "There is another more important reason for me to return to China, that is, I love my motherland! I want to use the knowledge I learned abroad to build the country!"
“Thank you for accepting our interview!”
"You're welcome!"
After the reporter left, Tao Ji looked into the distance, where several familiar faces were waving at him.
Tao Ji walked over, greeted the acquaintances, and asked one of them:
"What is the origin of Xinqing Evening News?"
“Local journals should have a certain influence, right?”
Tao Ji immediately looked displeased and said, "At least a medium-sized journal should interview me. Isn't this just a third-rate tabloid? It doesn't even have a camera. It's so unprofessional!"
The man sighed and said, "It's not easy to find a mid-level journal! Lao Tao, the situation in China is different now than before. People there have seen the world. Your independent architecture silver award can't fool people at all."
Tao Ji raised his eyebrows. He admitted that his award was a bit exaggerated, but it was an award from the United States after all. Nowadays, everyone in China looks up to the United States when they hear about it.
The man continued, "Don't worry, Lao Tao! We have made preparations for you! Now, there is a provincial TV station that is willing to host the "Dream Architect" program that we invested in! In each episode, the association will introduce an architect! The first one we will introduce is you!"
Tao Ji's eyebrows relaxed and he asked, "How many episodes are there in this show? Are all of them introducing me?"
The man sighed, "How is that possible? The current plan is to have at least 4 episodes per season. If the response is good, we can have up to 12 episodes. Each episode will be at least an hour long. One architect per episode!"
"Lao Tao, if it weren't for your silver medal, you wouldn't have been the first one to appear. It must be that some higher-ups heard about this and said that you have brought glory to the country, so they let you appear first."
Tao Ji nodded. It sounded good indeed. If he could become famous overnight, he would have a place in the field of architects in China.
"What's the content? Is it about me designing a house for someone?"
"Hey, the director we found is a serious professional director! His ideas are much better than those of us amateurs. He plans to have a two-strong competition! And it will be us professional architects against these folk masters!"
"A civilian expert?"
Tao Ji seemed to have heard a joke. There are masters among the people?
He took out the latest BlackBerry phone and searched for relevant news. The disdainful smile on the corner of his mouth froze on his face in an instant.
His opponent...
Is that what it is?
…
At this time, a certain person has recently become obsessed with cooking.
At present, Xu Shang actually really wants to choose the profession of chef.
There are naturally several reasons for this.
First of all, the Tianya Village Food Store became an instant hit. Now he is developing the career of chef. Obviously, he has a very good foundation and it will be easy for him to expand his influence.
Next, after unlocking the butcher profession, the skills of butchering an ox and the profession of chef are surprisingly a perfect match, with the effect of one plus one being far greater than two.
There is another more important reason, which is that the food store he currently runs has very good business in the morning and evening, but the noon time period is basically wasted.
Xu Shang didn't think selling breakfast at noon was a good idea. On the contrary, he had a good idea.
Selling fast food lunch boxes!
This puts him in the blind spot of the snack chef, which is why Xu Shang wants to choose the chef profession.
Unfortunately, the CD of the intermediate professional pool is as long as one month.
But Xu Shang suddenly realized that even if he didn't draw a profession, it didn't mean he couldn't learn it! We are living people, not puppets of the system!
With the professional foundation of a snack chef and the knife skills of a butcher, he is now learning to be a chef much faster than others. Those apprentices who follow him to learn how to make cakes are making rapid progress, there is no reason for him to be worse than them!
So, while others were following Xu Shang as apprentices, Xu Shang also began to study cooking diligently.
This made the 10 apprentices admire them very much. They finally understood why Xu Shang could make such delicious food at such a young age.
Look, even though he has reached such a lofty level, he still hasn't stopped learning!
This is the demeanor that a master should have!
Xu Shang didn't know that his behavior of learning brought such great motivation to the apprentices. He actually just wanted to skip the system and work hard to master a skill on his own.
If he could go back to the beginning and ask himself to choose between 100% lottery for the chef and recruiting many disciples, Xu Shang would still choose to recruit many disciples without hesitation.
This passive skill did not disappoint Xu Shang, and neither did the apprentice chefs in the village.
Even after just one week, they had already made Wu Dalang's pancakes at 80% of Xu Shang's level.
Of course, this wasn't done by one person.
Xu Shang came up with a clever idea here, that is, it may be difficult for one person to fully master his level, but what if the process is separated! Especially among these apprentices, there is really a talent for specialization and division of labor.
So one of the three learned how to make the filling, one learned how to knead the pancake, and the last one practiced controlling the heat.
Xu Shang only needed to correct the food and ensure that the taste was similar to what he made. Xu Shang felt that in a few days, he would be able to free himself from this and hand over the Tianya Village Food Store to his employees, and even study the possibility of opening a branch.
When he thought about opening a branch, Xu Shang suddenly remembered something.
Today is the end of the month, it’s time to get paid!
