The intelligent Yuan Zhou said expressionlessly, "Get straight to the point."
"Hahaha, it's nothing much. Just like before, I made a new cake and wanted Boss Yuan's opinion," Manman touched her head and said with embarrassment.
Yuan Zhou didn't let his guard down. Instead, he became even more serious.
As a matter of fact, Man Man often let him have a taste of the new varieties and Yuan Zhou would sometimes give some suggestions. It could be said that Yuan Zhou was a taster with a high level of knowledge.
This wasn't a rare thing, and Yuan Zhou was used to it. But this time, Manman praised him first …
So, what exactly did he make this time?
Manman didn't keep him in suspense. She took out a well-packaged cake from the small box in her hand.
It was about the size of a pomegranate. It was white with a bit of chocolate black in the middle. First of all, it looked good.
But that was just the appearance.
"Wait, this smell is … durian?" Yuan Zhou's five senses were too sensitive. Even before he opened the package, he had already noticed it the moment he took it out.
"Yes, yes. This is Manman's special durian bomb!" Manman nodded.
"Don't look at me like that." After saying that, Yuan Zhou picked up the cake. As he was very close to the cake, he smelled another magical smell.
Yuan Zhou looked at Manman and asked, "There are also lemons and mangoes."
"No matter how many times I see it, Boss Yuan's familiarity with food still amazes me. Awesome," Manman praised with a thumbs up.
That's definitely awesome … Yuan Zhou's lips curled up, but he suddenly realized it wasn't the time to be complacent. He immediately returned to his expressionless face.
He asked, "Manman, why did you make this new cake?"
"Because I see that you, Boss Yuan, keep serving new dishes and have been working hard to improve your culinary skills. Although my restaurant's business is good, I can't just rest on my laurels all the time. That's why I want to innovate," Manman said earnestly.
That's right, but innovation can't be done blindly. Durian, lemon, and mango are all fruits with a more stimulating taste. What would it feel like when the three flavors are mixed together?
It was hard to imagine. Yuan Zhou shuddered in his heart.
Man Man still hadn't noticed that. She was still talking about her creativity, "I feel that a cake must have its own characteristics to have a selling point. Therefore, I combined the three most characteristic fruits together. That's why it's called Big Bomb. I don't know if the combination is good or not. Boss Yuan, please help me taste it."
"Very thoughtful." Yuan Zhou nodded calmly before suggesting, "But I think there's another person who has a better say in terms of the special taste."
"Who? Engineer Cheng or Chairman Zhou? "Manman immediately thought of these two people.
Yuan Zhou shook his head. "Neither. Manman, you've made a mistake. The snacks you make are to sell to the customers, not to the chef. You've made the wrong point from the beginning."
Manman punched her palm and said suddenly, "I know. Just like Wang Hong. His books are praised by many authors in the industry, but the sales have never exceeded 8,000 copies."
"…" Yuan Zhou was speechless.
How could this child speak the truth blindly? Yuan Zhou looked around discreetly. Fortunately, Wang Hong wasn't here, otherwise his self-esteem would be hurt.
Yuan Zhou coughed twice and continued, "So, Manman, I suggest you discuss it with Yuan Yuan, who is very experienced in special tastes."
Speaking of Yuan Yuan, Manman immediately thought of the story of blueberry jam with beef mince. Her eyes lit up. "Why didn't I think of that? Thank you, Boss Yuan."
Manman left in a flash. Of course, she didn't forget to take her new type of cake with her. Yuan Zhou silently breathed a sigh of relief.
But a few minutes later, Manman came back.
She said, "Boss Yuan, do you have Yuan Yuan's contact information?"
Yes, Manman didn't have Yuan Yuan's contact information. Although Manman was also in the WeChat group, this girl didn't seem to go on WeChat and didn't reply.
"I don't have it either. But according to Yuan Yuan's frequency, she should come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I'll pay attention to her," Yuan Zhou said sincerely.
Manman nodded and left in high spirits. Yuan Zhou checked the time. It was time to compete with Crab Fresh again.
Today, Yuan Zhou was in a good mood, so he prepared to fight for more time. Of course, he also prepared to prepare for the 100 Styles of Special Rice that a customer ordered today.
There were many things to do, but Yuan Zhou could always finish them one by one in an orderly manner.
On the other side, because of Lei Ti's amazing efficiency, he sent his review to the magazine "Foodie Empire" that night.
Speaking of which, he was also very awesome. He wrote four or five thousand words without eating anything in the snack pavilion.
And the next day, Lei Ti directly took a plane back to Chengdu.
As for the biweekly "Foodie Empire", the magazine was also quite efficient. On the same day, they arranged for proofreading and directly published the review in the current issue.
It was a review praising Yuanzhou shop. The sales of "Foodie Empire" were also good, but in fact, it didn't cause much of a stir.
The reason was very practical. There were too many reviews praising Yuanzhou shop, so this one didn't make it to the top.
The food circle in Sichuan Province was still the same as before, but "Foodie Empire" had a very different meaning to others.
For example, the head chef of the snack pavilion, Jiang Yang, was eager to know Lei Ti's review of the snack pavilion and his cooking.
Therefore, as soon as the latest issue of "Foodie Empire" was published, Jiang Yang sent someone to buy a copy.
Seeing the page number of Lei Ti's column on the cover, he directly turned to that page and began to read.
The more he read, the more unfriendly Jiang Yang looked. When he finished reading, his face completely darkened.
In fact, even if Lei Ti gave a bad review, Jiang Yang wouldn't be so angry. Because creative dishes would only become popular if they were criticized and criticized.
For example, the classic creative dish "Milk Spring Soup". According to the interview, Chef Bruce created this dish and went through more than 40 revisions, each of which was accompanied by criticism.
Jiang Yang thought he was very strong-willed. But now, Lei Ti didn't criticize him, but directly ignored him.
He had clearly eaten at the Snack Pavilion, but the food review did not mention Jiang Yang's name at all. It did not mention the Snack Pavilion at all.
Two-thirds of the content was talking about how serious the other chef was.
And the remaining one-third of the content was Lei Ti's own sigh and opinion.
This was really, really annoying!
"Phew …" Jiang Yang heaved a sigh of relief.
He began to arrange the work. As the head chef of the snack pavilion, Jiang Yang wouldn't cook by himself unless there were special guests. Most of the time, he was in charge.
Of course, he was in charge when he knew that Lei Ti would come.
Moreover, Jiang Yang's main role was to plan the banquet dishes. So today, he decided the dishes for the two banquets tomorrow at noon and the night after tomorrow.
The next day, they began to taste the dishes. The party that booked the banquet had to review the dishes decided by the restaurant. Only when the dishes passed the review could they be considered to have passed.
Jiang Yang was good at cooking, so the two parties that booked the banquet were very satisfied with the two banquet dishes he made.
It could be said that they breathed a sigh of relief.
The next afternoon, Jiang Yang found the sous-chef in the kitchen.
"During the two days when I'm away, the kitchen will follow my arrangement," Jiang Yang said.
The sous-chef nodded and didn't ask what Jiang Yang was going to do. He just nodded and agreed.
