For a variety show, even if it was a live show, the production team would arrange the venue more than a month in advance. In management, it was believed that a person could only manage six people at most. However, how could there only be six people in a production team? Moreover, during filming, the scene would change rapidly. Therefore, everything had to be arranged in advance.
The guy with the slickback had already negotiated and signed the cooperation agreement for Roll, Dear Beef. After more than ten days, the guy with the slickback would lead the way and bring Tom, the deputy manager of the logistics department of the production team, to inspect the surrounding environment and layout. After all, no matter if it was the lights or the cameras, they all needed to be placed properly. And all these needed to be arranged by the logistics department. Therefore, they had to come here no matter what.
Although the name Tom sounded like a foreigner, he was actually Chinese. His surname was Tang, and his original name was Tang Dong. Later, he changed his name to Tang Dong. Although Tom was Chinese, he had been studying in the US for a few years, so he always felt that he was a foreigner. Just look at the name he changed later.
"Mr. Tom, it's almost 10: 30 pm. It's more than 40 minutes from the airport to Taoxi Road. If we don't hurry, we'll have to queue up for a long time," said the guy with the slickback. Of course, it was Tom who requested to address him as Mr. Tom. The guy with the slickback was more used to calling him Manager Tang (Yang) Li (Zi).
"Even if it's more than 40 minutes, we can easily arrive before 11: 30 pm. Why are you panicking?" Tom frowned. The flight was tiring, so he wanted to drink a cup of coffee at the airport to calm himself down.
"Sir, because the Yuanzhou shop is very good … and because it was reported on the news and on TV, there are many people queuing up every day." The guy with the slickback originally wanted to say that the Yuanzhou shop was very good. But then, he thought of Tom. He always thought that Chinese food didn't pay attention to nutrition, plate presentation, and so on. Anyway, there were a lot of flaws in Chinese food. In conclusion, Tom didn't like Chinese food and thought that French food was the best.
The guy with the slickback had a pretty good EQ. He was able to say whatever he wanted. Although Tom wasn't his direct superior and they weren't even in the same department, it wasn't his style to offend someone with a higher rank than him just for the sake of speaking his mind.
Therefore, the guy with the slickback turned the delicious Yuanzhou shop into a famous Yuanzhou shop.
"I really don't know how the producers chose the location. Wellington and Piborg are both pretty good, so why did they choose a Chinese restaurant? Is it because it's famous?" Although Tom felt that Chinese food was not as good as French food, he was still a capable assistant manager.
Today, not only did he have to discuss the details with the shop owner, but he also had to discuss the cooperation with the surrounding shops. Moreover, he had to fly back to the program crew in the evening. There were many things to do, and time was tight. Therefore, Tom gave up his habit of drinking coffee, but he continued to complain.
"Speaking of fame, Wellington and Piborg are both quite famous. I really don't know what the director's criteria are."
Wellington and Piborg were two famous Western restaurants in Chengdu. They had been on TV before, and their chefs were both French. The guy with the slickback didn't reply. Instead, he hailed a cab. There was a queue for the taxi at the airport. Therefore, the guy with the slickback used his phone to call for a private taxi.
The two got on the car and sped towards Taoxi Road.
Tom, who was bored in the car, took the initiative to bring up a topic. He asked, "Do you like steak?"
"It's not bad. I've eaten it quite a few times." The guy with the slickback didn't finish his sentence. The steak he ate was all because he was busy with work, so he had no time to eat it.
Tom shook his head and said, "Only frying can bring out the fragrance of the meat. When I was studying abroad, I was lucky enough to make a reservation at Mike's Restaurant. Mr. Mike cooked personally, and I had the best steak I've ever tasted. The juices of the meat flew everywhere when I bit into it. "
As he spoke, Tom was immersed in his memories. His throat moved involuntarily. It was his taste buds recalling the taste.
"Later, I asked Mr. Mike. The beef used in the restaurant is all from Burgundy in the northeast of France. It's Charolais, one of the four top-notch beef in the world. This kind of beef is pure white, and the taste is unforgettable. "
The guy with the slickback had never eaten it before. Therefore, he could only listen to Tom's description. He nodded from time to time.
"After coming to China, I realized that other than the Western restaurants opened by French chefs, there are no local restaurants that can make steak well." Tom had a bellyful of grievances. "Let's not talk about the difference in the quality of the beef. Even the grasp of timing is too lacking. It's fine if you say that there aren't any good steaks, but I've eaten some stir-fried beef and some minced beef. They completely destroyed the original taste of the beef. I realized that the way Chinese cuisine is cooking is destroying the original taste of the ingredients. Furthermore, it's not healthy at all. "
The guy with the slickback's eyes twitched. What do you mean by coming to China? Are you a foreigner? Furthermore, Chinese cuisine destroys the original taste of the ingredients. The guy with the slickback really wanted to say that Tom was an idiot. However, his rationality held him back.
Tom and the guy with the slickback arrived at the intersection of Taoxi Road at 11: 20 pm.
"We're here. Mr. Tom, please." The guy with the slickback led the way.
"This place sure is down-to-earth," Tom said after he got off the car and looked around.
"This is indeed a quiet place. Mr. Tom, it's already lunchtime. Should we line up for lunch and talk after lunch, or what?" The guy with the slickback tactfully suggested.
"There are quite a lot of people here. Since the boss is cooking personally, he must be busy. Let's go for lunch first." Tom frowned when he saw that the entrance of the Yuanzhou shop was crowded.
"Let's go there now. We have to line up here personally." The guy with the slickback was still looking forward to it.
The guy with the slickback had wanted to try the Yuanzhou shop for a long time. However, the price was too high. It would be too expensive if he paid for it himself. However, it was different now that he could eat with the general manager of logistics. He could claim for it.
The guy with the slickback was very excited. There would be delicious food soon, the legendary delicacies.
"No need. I think the western restaurant next door is quite stylish. Let's go there and have a cup of coffee." Tom, who had been frowning, saw the conspicuous western restaurant two shops away.
That was the restaurant Li Li was at.
"Err, alright." The guy with the slickback instantly stiffened. However, he still nodded to show that he heard Tom. Then, he led Tom to the western restaurant.
The guy with the slickback looked very tired.
"Today's head chef, Li Li? It's him? This person's western cuisine is quite good. I didn't expect him to open a restaurant here. "Tom read the introduction of the head chef skillfully.
"Looks like there's still some fun to be had in a tough job. You're lucky today. I'll bring you to try an authentic steak," Tom said happily.
"Thank you, Mr. Tom." The guy with the slickback appeared grateful, but he was cursing in his heart.
"Damn fake foreigner, my delicacies …" The guy with the slickback wailed in his heart.
