MTL - Counterattack Strategies-Chapter 58 Food and live broadcast (10)
Food and live broadcast (10)
The sales of Hongyuan Cooked Food have broken through new highs several times, and the news has repeatedly reported the popularity of Hongyuan Cooked Food, which was sold out almost as soon as it was put on the shelves.
People who have eaten Hongyuan cooked food can only choose other brands of cooked food when they can’t buy Hongyuan cooked food. However, the brand cooked food that was considered good before is so difficult to eat now. Eat it, you can't eat it at all. As a result, a large number of other brands of cooked food are unsalable, and major cooked food companies have been greatly impacted.
The major cooked food companies want to unite against Hongyuan Cooked Food to save themselves, but the food industry wins by taste, and it will be futile to do anything if customers don't buy it. What's more, Hongyuan is a company under Shenghong Group, and Shenghong's background strength should not be underestimated. It is even more difficult to deal with them from other aspects.
The delicacy of Hongyuan’s cooked food made Lu Jingqian’s number of fans increase again explosively. Although his fans are very sorry that his live broadcasts have decreased significantly, they only need to spend money when they think that Hongyuan will open a branch in the future. Now that he had the chance to eat Lu Jingqian's dishes, he felt a little more balanced.
On the opening day of Hongyuan Villa, all the people with status and status came here specially to support Shenghong Group. There were too many guests, and most of them were customers with business contacts. Hong Boxiao and Ou Wenyu definitely couldn't greet them, so they called all the major shareholders of Sheng Hong to help greet the guests.
It is an unwritten rule not to order food at the opening banquet. The purpose is to display the most confident special dishes or best dishes of the store on the opening day to attract diners. Lu Jingqian considered that the identities of the guests who will come on the opening day Unusually, he must have eaten a lot of dishes from various master chefs, so he put a lot of effort into this opening banquet.
Originally, there was only an unwritten rule that no food could be ordered at the opening banquet, but Hongyuan Villa added two more rules, that is, no extra food and no package. The guests who didn't care much about these two additional regulations originally complained about why they couldn't add more dishes and take them away after they hadn't finished eating the dishes after they were served.
Those guests who had business dealings with Sheng Hong originally came to give favors, but after eating, they turned into begging for favors. Not only were Hong Boxiao and Ou Wenyu begged for more food, but even Sheng Hong's shareholders were entangled.
"Mr. Ou, we are also old friends who have known each other for so many years. Let me pack this rock candy elbow and take a copy home. My old father has no other hobbies, so this is the one. He must like this rock sugar elbow. You Let me pack a copy and go back to make his old man happy, maybe he can give me more shares, I will definitely remember your kindness!"
"Mr. Xu, you are too polite. What kind of friendship is there between us? It's just a rock candy elbow. I can't bear to let you pack it? In fact, the number of each table is fixed. This dish takes a lot of work, otherwise how can it be ready to eat? What about cooking? It’s definitely too late to do it now, next time you bring your father over, I’ll entertain him personally and let the kitchen cook a special dish for him.” Ou Wenyu finally got out of the private room and was caught by Xu Always blocked in the corner of the corridor.
"I was thinking of bringing my father here, but I asked your staff just now, and he said that the reservation for the next time has been sold out!" Mr. Xu held on to Ou Wenyu and refused to let go.
"Don't worry, I'll help you figure out a way. I'll go to the manager to make a reservation for you now." Ou Wenyu withdrew his hand vigorously, and then walked away quickly.
"Then it's settled!" Mr. Xu looked at Ou Wenyu's back and shouted, "You must take it to heart!"
Ou Wenyu managed to get out, ran to the lounge and opened the door to enter, then closed the door from the inside, heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and saw that Hong Boxiao was already sitting inside, drinking tea and resting.
Ou Wenyu didn't even have the strength to say hello to him, and sat down on the other side of the sitting bed weakly, sighing long.
Seeing his tired face, Hong Boxiao poured him a cup of tea, "As for you? You are so tired."
Ou Wenyu drank tea, and his dry throat felt better. He said unconvinced, "You are not tired, what are you doing here? I have only had a sip of tea until now, and I have not even eaten a bite of food. I’m dead. How’s the food at Grandpa’s? If there’s any leftovers, I’ll go over and eat some, I’m starving to death.”
"I advise you not to go. I'm afraid those old people are going crazy. The old friendship of decades, in order to eat more food, almost got into a fight. My dad can't handle it anymore. I went to have a look I ran away quickly." Hong Boxiao said.
"Go and tell Shaoxuan that he used too much force for the opening banquet this time. It's already past the break time, and those people still insist on adding food and packing." Ou Wenyu complained "In the future, let him recycle his cooking skills. Don't make the dishes too delicious, otherwise we will not be able to cope with the friendship. I have never been so tired. If this continues, I'm going crazy."
"Today, the main reason is that there are too many acquaintances and friends who come here too concentratedly. It will be fine in the future. Even if they want to come, they don't have time to come every day." Hong Boxiao said.
"Oh." Ou Wenyu smirked and said, "Mr. Yun of Yunzhi Technology was still asking whether we have a monthly subscription or not. He plans to live here in the future."
Hong Boxiao's cell phone rang, and after looking at the screen, he didn't want to answer it.
"Who?" Ou Wenyu asked.
"My dad." Hong Boxiao said.
"How dare you not answer uncle's call?" Ou Wenyu looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Who said I won't answer? I'm just too busy to answer slowly." Hong Boxiao slowly raised the phone to his ear.
"Where is it? Come here quickly." Hong Dongbai, who had always been refined and steady, became a little irritable in his tone.
"I'm busy greeting guests. Grandpa, you can deal with it first. I'll be there in a while." Hong Boxiao said.
"You unfilial son!" Hong Boxiao said in a low voice, "Don't think that I don't know that you are being lazy, leaving your own grandfather and your own father behind, and you go to rest by yourself. I have taught you the same way since you were young. your?"
"I was taught by my grandfather since I was a child. You have been busy with scientific research and have no time to teach me." Hong Boxiao took the opportunity to argue with his father.
"Then you just left the grandfather who taught you since you were a child here? Hurry up, hurry up!" Hong Dongbai hung up the phone after finishing speaking.
Hong Boxiao sighed, looked at Ou Wenyu and said, "Let's go."
"What do you think I'm doing?" Ou Wenyu looked like I didn't want to die, "I'm not going."
"I asked the kitchen to add food to Grandpa and the others. Now maybe I can get a few bites to eat in the past, so forget it if you don't go." Hong Boxiao got up and walked out.
"Go, go, together, how can I let you face so many elders alone? That's too fraternal." Ou Wenyu quickly followed.
……………
After the added dishes were finished, the old men were finally satisfied and sat and chatted peacefully. Some family members came to pick them up in person, and they were all sent back, saying that they would stay tonight and go back after breakfast tomorrow.
"Old Hong, your birthday is coming soon, let's hold a big one this year." Mr. Li suggested, "Every year, the old man Yan in Rongyuan organizes a birthday banquet, just like the emperor's birthday, and let famous chefs present dishes. You can do it in Hongyuan Villa, and you don't need any famous chefs to present dishes, and you can definitely beat his annual birthday banquet."
"That's right!" Mr. Wu seconded, "At that time, invite all the people in their gourmet industry to let them see what real gourmet is, and see if they have the face to set up a gourmet association."
"I agree, let him take over the field of food while our old guys are still alive, so as to relieve us from being shown off by them for so many years."
"That is, they have dominated the catering industry for so many years. Every time they say that people depend on food, and enjoying oral food is the greatest blessing. It seems that other things that are not as good as ours are not important. As long as they win the catering industry, they will win everything. Same. Let Bo Xiao kill them in the catering industry now, and see how they can be arrogant in front of us in the future."
"That's it!" Mr. Hong made a final decision, "In the past, they sent us invitations every year. We had to go, and we had to see their bragging faces when we went. Even if the dishes were okay to eat, they would become difficult. I swallowed it. This year we will also send invitations to them to see if they dare to come. If they don’t come, it means they are guilty and afraid. We have something to say in the future. If they come, let them know What is real food, let them shut up in front of us from now on, and they are no longer qualified to talk about food with us!"
Lu Jingqian was busy from morning to afternoon before he was finally able to leave the kitchen. Naturally, he didn't need to do the finishing work, but it was not an easy day.
He returned to Yunyue Building, and as soon as he entered the front hall, he saw Hong Boxiao and Ou Wenyu slumped on the bed without any image, looking exhausted.
"Why do you look more tired than me?" Lu Jingqian walked to the side of the bed and sat down, poured himself a cup of tea, "I've been busy in the kitchen all day, and I'm dizzy, so I didn't tell you Tired."
Ou Wenyu felt that he had said all he had to say in a year in one day, so now he didn't want to speak at all.
Hong Boxiao sat up, pointed to the outside with his thumb, and signaled Ou Wenyu to leave.
Ou Wenyu struggled to stand up, looked at Lu Jingqian and heaved a long sigh, then walked out like floating. He really regretted it. He shouldn't have persuaded Bo Xiao to enter the catering industry. He knew that catering was so tiring, and they just invited Lu Jingqian back to cook for them. Why bother with catering?
"What did you guys do today? Why are you so tired?" Lu Jingqian looked at Ou Wenyu's leaving back in confusion.
Hong Boxiao waved to Lu Jingqian, signaling him to go over.
Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, Lu Jingqian walked up to him and sat down, looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
Hong Boxiao held his face, kissed his lips and sucked hard, and used deep kisses to solve the pain of lovesickness that he hadn't seen all day.
Lu Jingqian's body soon softened, and he could only rely on his arms to bear his domineering encroachment. He not only encroached on his mouth, but also robbed his air, as if even his tongue was going to be swept away. .
After the deep kiss was over, Hong Boxiao hugged Lu Jingqian, stroked his face and said, "I have something to discuss with you. When I make new dishes in the future, don't make them too delicious?"
Lu Jingqian looked up at him, blinked his eyes, he didn't understand, then blinked again, still didn't understand what he meant.
"Look." Hong Boxiao explained to him, "you can make a lot of money if you cook delicious food, but if you cook too delicious food, it's all about human feelings. The business of Shenghong Group is relatively It is big, and there are many companies with business contacts, from all walks of life. But eating is not divided into industries. All these people gather together and come to the door together. Even if we have superpowers, it is difficult to deal with it. It is too expensive. I am refreshed. Besides, there are my grandpa, my dad and a lot of my own friends, it hurts to always reject people."
Lu Jingqian raised his hand to touch his face, and said sympathetically, "I know your difficulties, but I'm a chef, and I can only make good dishes, there's no reason to make bad dishes."
"I'm not asking you to make the dishes worse." Hong Boxiao looked at him and said, "It's just that when you cook, you should recycle a little bit, and don't make it too delicious, just make it too addictive."
Lu Jingqian thought for a while and said, "I'll try my best."
Hong Boxiao kissed him forcefully and said, "Baby, thank you for your hard work."
"You've worked hard too." Lu Jingqian kissed him back.
The opening banquet of Hongyuan Villa was finally over, and after all the guests who were supposed to be sent away were sent away, the moment the gate was closed, the staff in the villa heaved a sigh of relief at the same time. They were all sent away.
Curious people can only know how delicious the dishes of Hongyuan Villa are through the comments of the food critics present and the reports of food reporters. They exaggerated the dishes of Hongyuan Villa to such an extent that some people wondered if they took money, so they exaggerated so much.
These food critics and reporters are also well-known figures with many fans, and they have long been used to the fact that there will always be people who sing the opposite under the comments. But this time they couldn't ignore these people, but directly replied and yelled at them, saying that they were not qualified to comment if they hadn't eaten it, and they would leave a message after eating it if they had the ability to say it was not delicious.
