Once the tangerine peel is more than 10 years old, its liquidity will be very low, and most people will choose to use it for themselves, because the older it is, the better the medicinal effect.

He once saw a lot of fake tangerine peel in an online post, and it was impossible for ordinary people to tell the difference.

After all, if 10-year-old tangerine peel is faked and claimed to be 20 years old, the price can more than triple, that is, from 800 yuan per catty to two to three thousand yuan per catty.

There is this passage in the notes in Section 7 of Chapter 24 of "Das Kapital," "So-called Primitive Accumulation."

As long as there is 10% profit, it will be used everywhere;

With 20%, it will become lively;

50% will lead to active risk-taking;

Having 100% will make people disregard all laws;

If there is 300%, people will not be afraid of committing crimes or even the danger of hanging their heads.

Now that there is a 300% profit in front of them, these unscrupulous businessmen have no choice but to profit from it. After all, even Li Xiao, who is proficient in Cantonese cuisine, cannot guarantee that he can accurately distinguish the authenticity of those tangerine peels, let alone ordinary people.

Already.

Therefore, there is no need for Li Xiao to take risks and buy high-age tangerine peels that are more expensive and may be disguised using some chemical means.

After careful selection, Li Xiao chose a tangerine peel with a price tag of 1,200 for 12 years. Considering that the Chinese New Year was coming in a few days, he thought that buying more tangerine peels to give as gifts to his parents would be a good choice.

Although 1,200 per pound is a bit expensive, Li Xiao is not reluctant to spend money. After all, money is easy to come by and even easier to spend.

This is why most people will find that no matter whether they earn 5,000 yuan, 8,000 yuan, or 10,000 yuan, the money left in their hands in the end is only one or two thousand yuan.

Considering that she would go to Xinhui to buy local tangerine peel in the future, Li Xiao did not buy too much, only 20 kilograms in total.

The boss saw that Li Xiao bought too much, so he gave half a catty more as a gift, which was nearly 600 yuan cheaper.

20 kilograms of tangerine peel may not sound like much, but it weighs a lot on the body. It takes a large sack to hold 20 kilograms of tangerine peel.

Li Xiao went to the aquatic product area of ​​the market and bought some abalone, then bought a mallard duck in the Sanniao area, and then selected some red beans and a pound of lean meat.

After finishing shopping, Li Xiao took a look at his current state.

I still gave up my plan to carry a large sack and several black plastic bags on foot for an hour back to Longding Villa.

Although he is quite confident in his current physical strength, it would be great fun if he, an Internet celebrity, were found walking like a beggar in Dongguan City.

He could even imagine what the titles on Moments and official accounts would say

[Why is a local internet celebrity with millions of fans so depressed? 】

[Internet celebrity with a daily income of millions becomes a homeless person? 】

[Internet celebrity anchor with an annual income of over 100 million, depleted his family fortune due to gambling]

[A food anchor is suspected of being jumped by a fairy]

[A certain Internet celebrity performs performance art in Dongguan city. Is it to attract attention, or is it for other purposes?]

I'm afraid I will die socially before night, and the greetings from friends and classmates I haven't contacted for a long time will probably be even warmer.

Returning home to Longding Huating Villa without incident, Li Xiao immediately went to take a shower after putting away her things. Although it was winter, she still smelled of sweat after exercising.

Coming out of the bathroom refreshed, Li Xiao's cell phone rang just then. He clicked on the screen and saw the incoming call reminding him that there was nothing unexpected. He clicked to answer the call without hesitation. Zhang Wenjing's voice came from the other side.

"Hello, Mr. Li Xiao, I wonder if it disturbed your rest?"

"No, is something wrong?"

Although Li Xiao just asked politely, he also knew that the other party was probably talking to him about [neighborhood].

After all, the two of them didn't have much interaction, and they only met briefly in the [neighborhood]. If the other person wanted to find something to do with me, he was probably inseparable from the [neighborhood].

After all, the publicity of the public account is time-sensitive. It is estimated that the other party will release a related marketing within a day or two. Obviously something went wrong in the middle, and you need to ask yourself.

Then what the other party said surprised him.

"This is how the Guangdong Provincial Star Chefs Association is looking for someone. I would like to ask you whether Mr. Li Xiao intends to participate in this year's star chef selection. If he wants to participate, they are willing to recommend two people.

They can also help you with other information and fees."

???

Star chef selection?

Li Xiao frowned, what does the selection of star chefs have to do with his own people?

However, he quickly realized that it was probably the aftermath of yesterday's live broadcast. After all, he had been working in the kitchen for more than ten hours. Could it be that someone from the Guangdong Star Chefs Association watched his live broadcast and felt that

Can I make the selection myself?

He knows that there is a certain degree of competition between star chefs in different regions. After all, the food culture in each region is different. The more star chefs in any region, the impact of local dishes on the country will definitely be greater.

The bigger.

If one or two eight- or nine-star star chefs appear in a certain area, it may even cause major changes in the entire Han food industry.

In the coming years, dishes from this region are likely to become popular everywhere.

Is this because someone is interested in his own influence? After all, an ordinary star chef does not have much effect, but a star chef with millions of fans and is growing rapidly can generate very large traffic. I am afraid it will take a long time.

It is more influential than some five or six star chefs.

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment and found that this star chef didn't seem to have much influence on him.

Moreover, he could also contribute to his hometown, so why not do it, not to mention that he had previously learned that the examination for a star chef only took two or three days.

That is to say, the early registration work and finding recommenders were troublesome, but now that you don’t need to register yourself and have helped find recommenders, you can just agree to it and take the time to complete the exam.

As for you saying that you have to waste a lot of time practicing and preparing before the exam, you are just kidding.

Although Li Xiao has never been clear about the level of his current cooking skills, after acquiring so many cooking-related skills, his understanding of cooking has been qualitatively improved.

When he was recently instructing He Beibei to improve his menu, he found that his current level was completely surpassed by only Samsung's He Beibei.

Since it can produce a crushing level, logically speaking, one should have at least a four-star star chef level as a minimum, and it may even be higher.

Therefore, he doesn't pay attention to a one-star chef exam at all. When the time comes, he can just take the exam and get a certificate.

If it weren't for the fact that the star-rated examination can only be taken once a year, and obtaining a high-star chef certificate requires a prerequisite chef certificate, Li Xiao would even consider whether to directly apply to take the four-star chef certificate.

Zhang Wenjing was relieved when she heard Li Xiao promised. After all, although there is no reward for this matter, if you do it well and leave a good impression on the other party, you won't have to worry about running out of orders.

The two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone. After all, although they said they knew each other, they were just acquaintances, not even friends.

Although Zhang Wenjing had the desire to continue chatting, Li Xiao had no idea about this girl who looked very quiet. After all, although he was dressed very quietly and looked very quiet, he did not feel the same to Li Xiao.

Great.

Chatting is a two-party thing. One party keeps ending the chat, and the other party even says

[Bao, I went to get an infusion. What kind of infusion was given? I missed your night.]

[You don’t even know how to feel sorry for others]

【Being emotionally affected by someone can be very annoying, but it can also be very sweet.】

[Please don’t reply to me, I’ve already apologized, let’s make peace]

【You don’t even know how to feel sorry for others.】

【Can you let me love you well? Can you let me live with you?】

Even if you say such a classic quote, even if you give a reward of hundreds or ten million, the other party will only have no interest in you.

The licking dog will still lose everything, and may even die on the spot.

Although Zhang Wenjing can be a licking dog with no bottom line, she will not do this. She understands what playing hard to get does and how licking a dog will lick everything until there is nothing left.

For men, what is often needed is aloofness, hot and cold, in order to arouse a man's curiosity.

As for when you get it, you need to be considerate and ask questions, but you can't be clingy like a koala, you can't make the other person feel troubled, and let the other person have a private space.

These methods are simply familiar to Zhang Wenjing, and are no more difficult than eating and drinking.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Wenjing immediately dialed the number that suddenly came in this morning.

The call was answered quickly, and Zhang Wenjing said respectfully

"Hello, Secretary Zhang, I have asked Mr. Li Xiao for his opinion, and he has also agreed to participate in the star chef competition after the New Year this year."

"Very good, very good. You didn't disclose our identities, did you?"

"Of course, I used the Guangdong Provincial Star Chefs Association as an excuse to invite the other party to participate, and the other party had no doubts."

"Well, what about the Guangdong Provincial Star Chefs Association? I understand. I will send a letter to the other side to ask them to assist. Thank you Ms. Zhang for your help. By the way, some catering stores under our group need

For some long-term promotion and specific matters, I will find someone to contact you."

Zhang Wenjing's face burst into laughter when she heard Secretary Zhang's words. As a senior secretary of a company, what she said was very important.

He also captured some of the keywords. [Some catering stores] prove that there is a lot of promotion needed, and [long-term] proves that the time is not short.

This business is so profitable. It only took one phone call to receive such a huge order.

Just when Zhang Wenjing was ecstatic, Secretary Zhang on the other side of the microphone continued to speak.

"By the way, I need to remind Miss Zhang that Mr. Li Xiao is the second daughter of our family and a very good friend, so I hope that Miss Zhang can maintain a certain social distance from Mr. Li Xiao. I don't know if Miss Zhang can
