After hanging up the phone, Fu Yu looked up and saw Liu Yunong looking at him curiously.
So he took the initiative to explain: "The person Liu Shaoxian called was an expert from the National Medicinal Diet Research Association. He just informed me that he was going to follow the activity group to participate in the Medicinal Diet Exchange Conference held in South Korea."
When Liu Yunong heard this, he was immediately surprised and said: "Really? That's a good thing! Hey! Who did you say you wanted to contact just now?"
Fu Yu told him about the competition.
Liu Yunong frowned: "I really don't know anyone in the medicinal diet circle, so I may not be able to help. If you can contact Dean Zhou, then try asking. What if he can help?"
Fu Yu nodded, but when he made the call, he actually didn't know what to do.
When they first exchanged contact information, Zhou Li was quite cordial, but who knew if he was being polite on the surface.
After dialing the phone, before Fu Yu could speak, Zhou Li's voice came through the phone.
"Hey, Fu Chu, how are you?"
When Fu Yu heard this tone, his heart dropped immediately, and he said with a smile: "Hello, Dean Zhou."
Zhou Li asked curiously: "Fu Chu, you came to me suddenly. Is there something wrong?"
Fu Yu said directly: "Dean Zhou, I have something I want you to help with."
Zhou Li smiled heartily: "Oh? What's the matter?"
Fu Yu then said: "I just received a notice that I can go to South Korea with the activity group to participate in the Medicinal Diet Exchange Conference. I want to apply directly to participate in the Medicinal Diet Cooking Competition held by the exchange conference, but I lack an expert recommendation letter. Do you have any? Is there a quota?”
When Zhou Li heard this, he immediately said: "My quota has been recommended to others, but I know who still has a quota. How about this, I will help you arrange it. By the way, how many of you are there in total?"
Fu Yu was about to answer when he suddenly thought of Li Zongming.
Li Zongming has been invited to join the National Medicinal Diet Research Association as an expert. I wonder if he is willing to participate.
Fu Yu hurriedly said: "I also have a friend who is a doctor at Bei'an Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. His name is Li Zongming. He is also a member of the research association. He should also be able to participate. Director Zhou, I will contact him now to ask, and I will get back to you right away. News, okay?”
Zhou Li said cheerfully: "Okay, let's do it according to the two quotas first. It's okay if he can't go then. I can arrange other people here."
Seeing this, Fu Yu quickly thanked you: "Thank you, Dean Zhou."
Zhou Li smiled: "It's okay, we are all our own people. Just give me a reply after contacting me. By the way, I will also attend this exchange meeting next Friday. Let's meet in the capital then."
Fu Yu said a few more polite words before hanging up the phone.
Then, he immediately called Li Zongming.
After hearing what he said, Li Zongming was so excited that he thanked him repeatedly on the phone: "Oh, that's great! Thank you, Chu Fu. I've heard about this exchange meeting a long time ago, but I never had the chance to attend. Thank you so much." Now, I’ll treat you to dinner later!”
Fu Yu smiled and replied to Zhou Li first, then called Li Zongming and told him to apply for a passport and explain the specific itinerary.
After everything was done, he found time to talk to Liu Yunong.
Liu Yunong looked at Fu Yu with some surprise: "You and Dean Zhou look very familiar, don't you?"
Fu Yu said truthfully: "I didn't expect that he was quite nice. We met and chatted a few times before, and I left my contact information at that time."
Liu Yunong nodded, thinking that this boy Fu Yu is still very lucky!
Zhou Li is the president of the National Medicinal Diet Research Association. Generally speaking, people like him have no chance to contact him.
Liu Yunong was really happy for Fu Yu, but while he was happy, he did not forget to remind him: "Since you are going abroad, you have to apply for a passport as soon as possible. If you ask for leave from Qianlima tomorrow, do you have to tell Yao Chu and the others in advance? One sound?"
Fu Yu nodded: "I'll contact you now."
Liu Yunong said casually: "Hey, speaking of which, I haven't been to South Korea for four or five years. When I went there before, I would buy a lot of cosmetics for myself and for my friends."
When Fu Yu heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master, what brand of cosmetics do you want? I can bring it back to you when the time comes."
Liu Yunong's eyes lit up: "Okay, then I'll make a list for you when I get back. In addition to beauty products, I also want to buy some pre-made dishes, like drunken crab, fried noodles, fried chicken, these things It’s all very convenient, you can buy it, process it simply and eat it directly!”
Prepared dishes?
Fu Yu was dialing Yao Shi's number when he suddenly had an idea!
Do you want to add a series of prepared dishes to the dining table?
This is likely to be a very profitable project. Whether I can buy a good car and whether I can save money to marry Liu Yuqing in the future may all depend on this thought.
Moreover, what if some new system is activated because of this creative idea?
Thinking of this, Fu Yu simply said hello to Liu Yunong, went out and called Yao Shi.
Yao Shi was overjoyed after hearing what he said about his plans to go to South Korea to attend a medicinal diet exchange meeting.
"Let me go, Xiaofu, you are so lucky! We are just about to attack the medicinal food market, and now you start to gild it with public funds!"
Yao Shi really thinks Fu Yu is very lucky!
It’s simply that whatever is missing comes, whatever is missing can be made up immediately!
"When did you get involved with the director of the National Medicinal Diet Research Association?"
Yao Shi's tone was full of incredulity!
He thought Fu Yu was lucky to have met Liu Shaoxian before, but he thought that this boy was more advantageous and had the highest connections in the medicinal food circle.
Fu Yu chuckled and told the story of how he met Zhou Li before.
Yao Shi sighed repeatedly, this boy is really destined!
This opportunity is so good, it’s so enviable!
Fu Yu smiled and suddenly said: "By the way, Chef Yao, I have something else I want to tell you."
Yao Shi immediately asked: "What's going on?"
Fu Yu said: "Didn't you say before that you planned to focus on developing medicated meal seats this year? I just thought that since we are going to launch medicated meal seats, we must have a wider business scope to make more money."
This is true.
However, the scope of business?
What does it mean?
Customer source?
Fu Yu continued: "I'm wondering if we can add a new pre-medicated meal in the store. After all, the current medicated meal banquet requires customers to come to the store to eat at regular intervals. For some customers, it is not very convenient."
"If we can launch pre-medicated meals, it will be like taking out a package. Customers can go to the store to pick up the medicinal meals at any time, and they can also arrange their own meal time when they go home."
“It’s very convenient and can increase your audience base.”
After Yao Shi heard this, he was silent for a while and then said directly: "It's a good idea, but it shouldn't be implemented in a short time!"
"Because pre-made dishes originally require large machines for processing. As you said, if it is convenient and trouble-free and allows customers to take it as they please, it requires mass production and dedicated personnel to be responsible for it before it can be officially put into the market."
"You can't do it by yourself, and there is still a very short supply of talents in the field of medicinal diet. There are not many people in this industry, and there are even fewer outstanding talents."
"The most critical point is that it cannot be officially opened in a short period of time. To really promote it, what is needed is popularity, to improve people's acceptance of medicated meals, resources, and professional equipment for processing pre-medicated meals."
"If you calculate it carefully, the initial investment is quite a lot. If you think about it, it will actually be difficult to implement."
After talking, Yao Shi comforted him: "However, your idea is still very good. In fact, if you survive the early period, become famous, and have all the resources, equipment, and medicinal and dietary talents in place, then there will be an outstanding person like you." With the herbalist in charge, it is actually a very promising project!”
"Just wait a little longer. Let's work hard and sooner or later we can realize the value of this business opportunity!"
The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
Although the proposal was rejected, Fu Yu was not discouraged at all.
He found that chatting with Yao Shi was a particularly comfortable thing.
Whether it is vision or thinking, Yao Shi has a particularly advanced consciousness.
Moreover, Fu Yu actually understands that the idea of pre-medicated meals may not be suitable now, but it does not mean that it will not work in the future.
After Fu Yu called Yao Shi, he contacted Zhao Meng.
Zhao Meng was overjoyed when he heard that he was going to South Korea to attend a medicinal diet exchange meeting. He immediately decided to ask him to apply for a passport directly tomorrow, so the kitchen would not have to worry.
After asking for leave, Fu Yu followed Liu Yunong to learn how to cook today's private dishes.
Liu Yunong was in a very good mood. The apprentices he trained were getting better and better, and his face was bright when he became a master.
The more promising Fu Yu is, the more it proves that his sister has good taste and knows how to look at people. She has found a very good boyfriend, and she will be happy as a sister.
Liu Yunong pointed to the ingredients on the kitchen table and said to Fu Yu: "This sixty-year-old steamed egg is our family's secret dish. No matter in terms of taste or smoothness, ordinary people can't make it."
When it comes to his own specialties, Liu Yunong looks proud.
The secret recipes of the royal kitchen passed down by famous female chefs in ancient times, coupled with the inheritance and research of several generations, have reached Liu Yunong's generation, even if they just follow the same pattern and rest on their laurels, it will be enough to benefit them for a lifetime.
The ingredients used in Shangshi Private Restaurant are even more exquisite than Chollima.
Chollima always buys seafood in the early morning, while Shangshi Private Restaurant mostly chooses to buy shellfish such as sixty-year-old shellfish in the afternoon.
Liu Yunong earnestly taught Fu Yu his experience: "Our store always sends buyers to the pawn shop in the afternoon to make selections when purchasing 66-year-olds. The 66-year-olds at this time are much cleaner than those in the morning."
Fu Yu suddenly realized, it makes sense!
He has worked in Qianlima's kitchen for such a long time, and he is very familiar with seafood. Like a sixty-year-old, he can tell at a glance that Shangshi Private Restaurant has very high requirements for product selection.
Not only is it big, but the shell is also very complete. When I turned it over and over to look at it, it was tightly closed and it took some effort to open it, but every one of them was still alive.
Fu Yu looked at a large pot of flower armor and couldn't help but sigh: "Master, you still have strict purchasing requirements! The quality of these flower armors is even better than those in our store."
Liu Yunong smiled and said: "That's for sure. What we cook is private cuisine, and we follow the line of meticulous workmanship. The buyers all pick out the dishes one by one with their hands."
Liu Yunong was making steamed eggs with a spoon, and Fu Yu was beside him.
The sixty-year-old turtles that have been cleaned by spitting sand are boiled in boiling water.
During this time, add a little salt to the eggs and stir them into egg liquid. Use a sieve to filter the egg liquid to remove impurities.
Liu Yunong guided Fu Yu while operating: "This step is very important. Don't bother with it. If you want the eggs to taste smooth and tender, the cooking time is very important. In addition, filtering the egg liquid is also very important."
"As long as you make this steamed egg dish, you have to filter the egg liquid at least three times!"
When Liu Jia Cuisine cooks, they pay great attention to following the requirements of the secret recipe. Every step of the operation is a summary made by the ancestors after repeated experiments.
After filtering the egg liquid, Liu Yunong took out the steaming bowl for serving and spread a layer of oil inside the bowl.
Liu Yunong finished brushing carefully and turned to Fu Yu: "Do you usually brush oil in the bowl of steamed eggs like this?"
Fu Yu shook his head: "No, they are all steamed directly."
Qianlima doesn’t even have this steamed egg dish.
Liu Yunong stretched out her hand to fish out the flower armor and said: "When you make steamed eggs in the future, you should remember this step. This will prevent the egg liquid from sticking to the wall of the bowl during steaming, and the oily egg liquid will not taste good. The taste is very special.”
Fu Yu couldn't help but sigh, the details of traditional dishes like this are really amazing!
It's just a very simple operation, but it can instantly enhance the taste of the entire dish.
Most people really can’t think of it.
When posing the sixtieth armor, Liu Yunong moved more carefully. She motioned to Fu Yu to come closer and watch.
"Did you see? The shells must stand up like this, and the angle is like this, these two sixty-year-olds."
A portion of steamed eggs comes with ten flower armors. When placing them, customers should be able to see the number of sixty armors at a glance, and they should also pay attention to the appearance.
Fu Yu saw it and exclaimed repeatedly: "Master, even the angle of the sixty-sixtieth armor is stipulated!"
Liu Yunong nodded: "That's for sure, not only the angle, but also the requirements for sprinkling chopped green onion and coriander later!"
After placing the flower armor, pour the egg liquid into it, leaving just a part of the flower armor outside.
The amount of egg liquid is also standardized and depends on the chef's own judgment based on experience.
Add water to the pot, Liu Yunong covers the bowl with a layer of plastic wrap and puts it into the pot for steaming.
While steaming, Liu Yunong handed the coriander and green onions cut by the craftsman to Fu Yu: "Do you see? Only the core of the coriander is left, and only the tips of the green onions are cut."
Since it is a private kitchen, all cooking details must be in place.
Fu Yu nodded and wrote it down carefully.
After the egg liquid is steamed, pour the prepared sesame oil and light soy sauce on the steamed eggs, gently shake it from side to side to make it even, then sprinkle with the chopped coriander and green onion, and add a little pepper.
A smooth, delicious, and fragrant steamed egg is ready.
Liu Yunong smiled and said, "I'll make a few more bowls later and let's all try them too."
Everyone in the kitchen immediately cheered. This is a secret dish made by Liu Yunong himself. You can't taste it casually! (End of chapter)
