Food and live broadcast (11)

Yan Bin received a call from his grandfather asking him to come over, and knew that he must be looking for him because of the high sales of Hongyuan cooked food during this period. Although he was trying his best to deal with this matter, his grandfather asked him He went, no matter what he was doing now, he had to go there immediately. ?

"My grandfather asked me to come over, you can eat first, I may not come tonight." Yan Bin put on his coat, walked to the door of the kitchen and said to Lan Mingze who was cooking.

Lan Mingze was cooking the last dish. After hearing Yan Bin's words, he turned off the fire and turned to look at him and said, "Is it because of the Hongyuan cooked food?"

"My grandpa didn't say anything on the phone, he just told me to go there, but it must be because there's nothing wrong with it." Yan Bin's expression was not very good, and he didn't walk over to hug him before leaving as usual, but After saying that he left, he turned around and left.

Lan Mingze walked out of the kitchen and watched him leave. After the door was closed, he turned around and looked at the table full of dishes he had just prepared. Yan Bin has been in a bad mood recently, and his appetite has also been bad. He cooked his best dishes with great care. He wanted to make him happier after eating, but now he can only face this table by himself. .

Lan Mingze put out the last dish, put it on the dining table and sat down, but looking at the dishes he had painstakingly prepared on the table, he had no appetite at all. Because Yan Bin was in a bad mood, he had lost his temper with him more than once, but what could he do? He was still very anxious.

Recently, the number of fans of Lu Jingqian has surpassed that of Lan Mingze. The food news has reported about Hongyuan Cooked Food and Hongyuan Villa almost every day. After Hongyuan Cooked Food has established a food factory in the whole country, the sales volume of Hongyuan Cooked Food has been ranked first in the country. One, and still rising.

According to news reports, the reservations for Hongyuan Villa are sold out even for next year. This is because they can only be booked until next year at most. Many big bosses try their best to entrust the relationship, just to be able to have a meal at Hongyuan Villa. It's something that hasn't happened in so many years. Under the strong request and urging of the public, the gate of Hongyuan Villa is about to open, and food critics from all walks of life are already guessing what kind of grand occasion it will be, so it is best for the public to wait for the time to grab a reservation.

Hongyuan cooked food has already severely impacted other brands of cooked food. After the opening of the Hongyuan Villa store, other restaurants will be affected. Lan Mingze doesn't know, but his Lanjia recipes will definitely be used for comparison. . He knew that Mr. Lan must have passed on Lan Shaoxuan's recipes for the most accurate recipes of the Lan family, otherwise Hongyuan Cooked Food and Hongyuan Villa would not have been so popular.

When the Hongyuan Villa store opens, he and Lan Shaoxuan are both members of the Lan family, and their dishes will definitely be compared. He dare not think about what will happen then.

Lan Mingze sat in front of the dining table with his forehead propped up. In addition to depression and entanglement, there was also fear of an uncontrollable future in his heart. He thought in his heart that if Lan Shaoxuan did not have the backing of Shenghong Group, he might be able to use Yan Bin's hand to prevent him from cooking forever, but it was too late now, he couldn't do anything to him, and he couldn't do anything with his ability. What should he do to suppress him?

Lan Mingze didn't move his chopsticks until the dishes on the table became cold. He stood up and dumped all the dishes, then lay down on the bed and curled up, trying to escape reality temporarily.

"Grandpa, are you looking for me?" Yan Bin stood in front of Mr. Yan and asked respectfully.

"Sit down." Mr. Yan raised his finger and pointed to the sofa on the side.

After Yan Bin sat down, he looked at Master Yan and waited for him to speak.

"For the impact of Hongyuan cooked food, you are helpless, right?" Master Yan said straight to the point.

"I've been trying to figure out a way to deal with it. It's just that the public's feeling of freshness for Hongyuan cooked food hasn't passed, and our coping methods haven't worked. I think..."

"It's been almost two months, and the sales of Hongyuan Cooked Food are still on the rise, are you still waiting for their popularity to pass?" Mr. Yan interrupted his defense, "I told you a long time ago, wait for the opponent to weaken The way to win is the worst strategy and the most helpless way, it seems that you are really forced to the point where there is nothing you can do."

Yan Bin bowed his head and remained silent, because every word his grandfather said was the truth. The more he defended, the more he would appear to be making excuses for his own incompetence in front of his grandfather. What his grandfather hates most is people who make excuses.

"Have you ever eaten Hongyuan cooked food?" Master Yan asked.

"No..." Yan Bin felt that no matter what, he couldn't eat the cooked food products that made him so embarrassed.

"You should eat, eat, and watch. Didn't I teach you that you can win all battles by knowing yourself and the enemy? If you don't understand why the people like to eat Hongyuan cooked food so much, how can you make more satisfying people?" What about the food?"

"I have asked the chefs to try the taste, but they said that the same taste cannot be imitated unless there is a detailed cooking method." Yan Bin said.

"I also had someone buy it back and try it. If you want to win in terms of taste, it may be difficult to do it in a short period of time." Mr. Yan sighed and said, "I have been fighting with Mr. Hong for a lifetime, but I have never tasted food. Lost to him. Everyone said that his grandson is better than dozens of other grandsons. His grandson has indeed made great achievements over the years. Now, even if I stick to the last field, I have to Was it captured by their Hong family?"

"Our family has stood firm in the catering industry for so many years. Grandpa, you are the president of the food association, and you can respond to everyone in the catering industry. It is not difficult for the Hong family to occupy a place in the catering industry now, but it is not difficult for them to take over our family's position. , I'm afraid it's not that easy?" Yan Bin felt that his grandfather valued Hong Boxiao's ability too much, and he was very unconvinced.

Mr. Yan shook his head and said, "So, compared with Hong Boxiao, you are still a bit behind. Why can our family be the boss of the catering industry for so many years? The Hong family's business is so big and involves such a wide range of industries, but why not Have you never thought about these issues before getting involved in the catering industry easily?"

Yan Bin was silent again. It's not that he didn't think about this question, but he was worried that the answer he said would not be the correct answer in his grandpa's mind, which would make his grandpa feel that he was still a bit underwhelmed.

Mr. Yan shook his head and sighed again, and once again regretted in his heart why Hong Boxiao was not his grandson, "Then think about it carefully, and then tell me when you think of the answer. The Hong family sent me an invitation card, asking me to go to the banquet to attend Hong Kong's grandson." For the old man’s birthday banquet, this is the first time I have received invitations for their family’s birthday banquet. In the past, I sent invitations to them, but now they finally sent me invitations, it seems that they have a plan in mind.”

"If you don't want to go, just ask someone to send a gift to you. Isn't it fine if you don't go?" Yan Bin said.

"Hmph, if I don't go, wouldn't that be the same as admitting that I lost and I don't want to face them anymore? Then they will have something to say about me behind my back. During this period of time, I have heard a lot about Hongyuan Villa How good the dishes are, I just took this opportunity to verify for myself whether the dishes of Hongyuan Villa are really as good as those people say. I heard that they hired Lan Shaoxuan as the head chef?"

"Yes, Lan Shaoxuan is the nominal head chef of Hongyuan Villa, but I don't think it is certain whether those dishes are cooked by him."

"It was my mistake. I have a good relationship with his grandfather. I didn't know that Lan Shaoxuan was the heir he cultivated with all his heart. He thought that he was just spoiling his grandson too much."

"I don't think grandpa needs to blame himself. Lan Shaoxuan is only in his twenties. Even if he really cooks good dishes, it will definitely not be as good as those people describe. I think there must be other chefs behind the scenes. As for the dishes, because of his good appearance and ability to attract fans, they are all said to be made by him."

"You go there with me on the day of the banquet, and then I will find a way to let him cook a few dishes in front of everyone, and then I will know how far he has gone in cooking."

Mr. Hong now lives in Hongyuan Villa most of the time, and has rarely returned to the mansion in the urban area. His friends don’t stay as permanent residents like him, but they always come to live for a few days when there is nothing to do, until the family When they came to pick them up, they reluctantly left, which made their family members very embarrassed, so they could only give Sheng Hong benefits in various ways in business.

A total of 280 tables were prepared for Mr. Hong's birthday banquet, which was no less grand than the opening day.

The day after tomorrow is Mr. Hong's birthday, and the villa has already started making preparations a few days in advance. The courtyard that should be arranged has already been arranged.

Hong Boxiao specially took his grandfather and a few old men to check the banquet scene that had been arranged in the villa to see if there were any unsatisfactory or unsatisfactory areas. He quickly changed it while there were still two days left.

"For the two hundred and eighty tables of dishes, Shaoxuan must not be busy alone. Although the other cooks have learned very well, but for your old table of dishes, Shaoxuan must cook them himself." Hong Boxiao pointed out Looking at the big three-connected pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond, he said, "When the time comes, Shaoxuan will cook in the middle of the three pavilions, and everyone can see it. You can see it most clearly at the old table. The food will be served directly to you."

"Old Yan and the others will definitely come when the time comes, arrange their table next to ours, and let Shaoxuan cook the dishes for their table himself. I want to convince them." Old Master Hong said proudly.

"Understood." Hong Boxiao replied, "I will do as you ordered."

"This courtyard is quite big, and it can accommodate dozens of tables without feeling crowded." Mr. Li said as he looked at the courtyard.

Hong Boxiao took a few old people to look in other yards. Mr. Hong looked very satisfied and didn't think there was anything wrong, so he waited for his birthday with peace of mind.

The night before the birthday banquet, Lu Jingqian was lying on the bed, and Hong Boxiao sat beside him to help him massage.

"You will have to work hard again tomorrow. Grandpa said that all the birthday presents sent today belong to you. When you come here tomorrow, he will give you rewards." Hong Boxiao pressed Lu Jingqian's shoulder and said.

"Why is grandpa so polite?" Lu Jingqian squinted his eyes comfortably and said, "Since I am the chef of Hongyuan Villa and he is the chairman of Shenghong, I should give him a birthday banquet, not to mention that he is your own grandfather." Woolen cloth."

"Grandpa loves you so much. I know you've worked hard, so I want to reward you as much as possible." Hong Boxiao lowered his head and said, "Grandpa may give you an island of Hong's family, so don't just say no to it then. If I give it to you, you will accept it, and grandpa will be happy only if you accept it."

Lu Jingqian opened his eyes and said, "I'm just cooking a few tables. Grandpa is too generous. If there is a birthday banquet every year from now on, why don't your Hong family give it to me?"

"It's not as simple as rewarding you for a birthday banquet." Hong Boxiao patted his butt, lay down beside him, and said face to face with him, "Grandpa, this is a gift for his future granddaughter-in-law."

"Have you told grandpa about us?" Lu Jingqian asked.

"Grandpa lives here most of the time now, and we see each other almost every day, do you think he can't tell?" Hong Boxiao said, "A few days ago, he secretly mentioned the matter of his great-grandson to me."

"Then I didn't promise to marry you either. I just slept with you. Who wants to have a baby with you?" Lu Jingqian arrogantly turned his face to the other side.

Hong Boxiao turned Lu Jingqian's body over, put his hand between his legs and said, "If you don't agree now, you can only be my man in the future. You don't need to give birth or conceive, just put you and my little tadpole together." Just mix it up."

"I don't want others to conceive our child." Lu Jingqian stopped arguing with him, and said from the bottom of his heart, "You should conceive your own child, and then kiss us later."

"Pregnancy is very hard." Hong Boxiao kissed the corner of his mouth and said.

"No matter how hard it is, it will only take a few months, and it is worth it for my own flesh and blood." Lu Jingqian said.

"Well, I'll listen to you. It's fine if you change your mind at that time." Hong Boxiao became dishonest again as he spoke.

"Do you want to do it?" Lu Jingqian looked at him and asked.

"When you are by my side, there is no time when I don't want to do it, but tomorrow will definitely be very busy. I don't want you to be too tired."

"If you have a way to keep me from being too tired and solve my desires, it's not impossible." Lu Jingqian rubbed his lips with his fingers and said.

"You want it?" Hong Boxiao grabbed his hand.

"Try it." Lu Jingqian said in a coquettish tone.

"Satisfy your request." Hong Boxiao stood up and took off Lu Jingqian's pants, then buried his head in it.

Lu Jingqian's breathing gradually became rapid, and he couldn't help reaching out to grab Hong Boxiao's hair, and then opened his mouth to breathe heavily.
