After passing through a door, Shen Long came to Huadu in 1988 from the capital in 2018. He was in an alley with no other people around. He walked out of the alley to the street and looked at the surrounding situation curiously. .

Bicycles were mainly used on the road, and cars and motorcycles were rare. An old man with red armbands was standing at the intersection directing traffic. Pedestrians passing by looked at Shen Long curiously.

Among the gray and blue clothes, Shen Long, who was wearing a crisp suit, rimless glasses, and a camera hanging around his neck, stood out. There happened to be a newsstand on the roadside. Shen Long strolled over and took a look. I saw the year 1988 clearly written on the Huadu Daily.

It seemed that my analysis was not wrong. Shen Long felt a little confident. A yellow taxi happened to drive by the roadside, and he quickly reached out to stop it.

"Sir, where are you going?" The driver stopped the car and stuck his head out of the window and asked.

"Let's go to the White Swan Hotel. By the way, can I pay in US dollars?" Shen Long opened the door and sat in.

"No problem! Mr. Sen, are you a returned overseas Chinese?" The driver's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly started the car, fearing that Shen Long would regret it. At this time, the official price of US dollars was far different from the black market price, so Shen Long paid the bill in US dollars. Of course he couldn't ask for it.

"Yes, my grandfather's generation went to the United States. After that, he got married and had children in the United States. I heard that the motherland is now opening up, so I came back to explore the way for my grandfather." This is the identity Shen Long made up for himself.

"I just saw you on the roadside and thought you came back from the United States. None of the rich people from Xiangjiang are dressed as handsome as you." The driver complimented, Shen Long's clothes were thirty years ahead of his time. Naturally eye-catching.

He chatted with the driver all the way, occasionally pretending to casually ask a few food-related questions, but did not get any news about the first celebrity chef competition from the driver. Shen Long was not in a hurry. The lives of celebrity chefs and drivers were a bit far apart, and he didn't understand It's also being cleaned up, we'll talk about it later when we get to the hotel.

Not long after, the taxi stopped at the entrance of the White Swan Hotel. It was a joint venture between Mr. Huo from Xiangjiang and the local government. It was officially opened to the public in 1983. It was also the first five-star hotel in China. Because of its special background It has become the first choice for many returning overseas Chinese and compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao to stay in China.

After paying the money, he got out of the car and thanked the doorman who came to open the door. He handed over a five-dollar bill. Shen Long walked into the lobby and came to the front desk to hand over his forged American passport. He looked at it with a little nervousness. He approached the front desk and said, "Get me a room."

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The front desk was used to seeing foreign guests, so he was not too surprised. After careful inspection, he completed the check-in procedures for Shen Long, and handed over his passport and keys with both hands.

"Thank you." Shen Long breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed 30 years ahead of the technological level. He felt relieved now. He took his passport and keys and followed the elevator to his room to rest for a while, then went downstairs again to the third floor. Yutang Chunnuan restaurant in the building.

Yutang Chunnuan is located on the third floor of the White Swan Hotel. The designer of the restaurant uses Lingnan characteristics such as pavilions and pavilions, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, to set off a strong Xiguan style. The outdoor river view and the indoor Lingnan characteristic garden landscape complement each other and become interesting.

At the same time, this restaurant is also a famous time-honored Chinese restaurant in Huadu. It is famous both at home and abroad for its exquisite dim sum and Cantonese cuisine. In 2018, it also became one of the first Michelin restaurants in Guangzhou.

Birds of a feather flock together, and if you want to find out about Liao Jie and the No. 1 Celebrity Chef Competition, it is most convenient to find a famous chef in Huadu. This is one of the important reasons why Shen Long chose to stay at the White Swan Hotel.

Of course, you can also go directly to Liao Jie's Yangzhou Building, but that would be a bit presumptuous. It is better to have something to eat here first, chat with the chef, and let him recommend it. Maybe you can get the first place to enter the scene to watch. Qualification for celebrity chef competition.

I found a seat with a view of the atrium and sat down, and ordered a few of Yutang Chunnuan's signature dishes. It is indeed a well-known restaurant in Huadu. Every dish is delicious, especially the signature sunflower chicken. Shen Long was greatly praised.

This dish is known as the best chicken in the world. Since they were born, these chickens do not know the taste of whole grains or what clear water is. They feed on fresh sunflower plates and leaves, and use the juice squeezed from dried sunflowers as food. Water tastes extremely delicious.

"It's delicious, delicious!" Shen Long kept praising while giving a thumbs up while eating.

The waiter next to him pursed his lips and suppressed a smile, "Sir, are you an overseas Chinese who has returned to China? Since you are here, you might as well try it a few more times. Our store's seeded ginger, duck and lettuce wraps, nine-turn eggplant, and thirty-year-old Huadiao baked mandarin fish All very good.”

"Yes, it's rare to eat such authentic Chinese food abroad." Shen Long nodded in praise, then turned to look at the waiter, "I have a heartfelt request. I wonder if I can ask the owner of your restaurant to Come out to cook?"

Shen Long took out his business card and handed it over, "I am a reporter for a Chinese newspaper in the United States. I especially like food. In addition to tracing my roots this time, I also want to collect more news about Chinese food, write an article and publish it in the newspaper, so that those who have left the country can learn more about it. Travelers who have been home for a long time can get a glimpse of the delicacies of their hometown and get a glimpse of what they think of the seaweed."

Shen Long's excuse was perfect. The waiter couldn't find any reason to refuse. In addition, it wasn't meal time yet and the kitchen wasn't too busy, so the chef came out quickly, "Hello, Mr. Shen, I'm Yutang." Chun Nuan’s chef Su Ziwen.”

"Hello, Mr. Su. It's a great blessing to be able to taste the skills of a top chef like Mr. Su right after returning to China." Shen Long pulled Su Ziwen to sit down and gave him a lot of compliments, "This sunflower chicken is the best." Mr. Su’s work, right? It has yellow skin, crispy bones, sweet and tender meat, and a strong sunflower seed aroma in the bone marrow. It’s really a rare and top-notch product..."

He had done enough homework before coming here, and found a bunch of gourmet praises about Yutang Chunnuan from the Internet. Every comment hit the key points. Hearing this made Su Ziwen very happy, as if Yu Boya had met Zhong Ziqi. After a while, After a while, he became very fond of Shen Long.

"Mr. Shen has also finished dinner in our restaurant. I will go and prepare it later. I will make some specialty dishes in the evening for Mr. Shen to taste."

"Okay, it's settled." Feeling that the time was almost up, Shen Long asked about business, "Mr. Su, besides our Yutang Chunnuan, are there any famous restaurants and famous chefs in Huadu that are worth visiting?"
