Chapter 482: Tear off the fig leaf of restaurant rating! Zeng Xiaoqi: I have no hope in love!
Expose the scandal of Michelin ratings?
Lin Xu looked at the notification on his phone that praised the Michelin-starred chef.
While the TV station was vigorously publicizing and promoting, my sister-in-law suddenly went to expose the scandal of Michelin ratings. Didn't this directly poke into those people's lungs?
And what she said was an authority in the industry.
What is authority? It must be a big shot in the catering industry.
Thinking of this, he looked at Chen Yan and asked:
"Is it the Chinese Cuisine Association?"
"Yes, it's one of our own, so it's great to show your face. In addition to the Culinary Association, there are also National Tourism Association, National Hotel Association, China Travel Service, Beijing Tourism, China Youth Travel Service and other units participating..."
Good guy, this is a big battle!
Shen Jiayue asked curiously:
"Have you been doing this secretly lately?"
"Well, I hate those Michelin ratings. None of the Chinese restaurants they rated are delicious, and the prices are too expensive, so I took this opportunity to reveal the inside story of the ratings."
Lin Xu was worried that something was not right about confronting the TV station like this before. After all, they are a state unit.
But now that we use magic to attack magic, it will be fine.
However, the TV station is really good at joining in the fun. Now it is promoting Michelin and other things in a big way, really stretching its neck to let my sister-in-law slap it in the face.
Lin Xu asked curiously:
"What's the scandal about Michelin ratings?"
Chen Yan took a bite of the chicken wings she grabbed:
"You can spend money to rate. As long as you spend two million, you can get one Michelin star. And according to insiders, half of the domestic Michelin restaurants spend money. As for the identification of Michelin chefs, it is even simpler. You only need to spend
You can get certified by paying for their training courses... I suspect that the chef hired by the TV station is a three-star chef who paid for it."
Gee, is there such a thing?
If it breaks out, you can really give it a beating.
Chen Yan gnawed the chicken wings clean, looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"By the way, Lin Ji seems to be eligible for the Black Pearl Restaurant rating next year. Will you sign up then?"
Lin Xu then shook his head:
"After you expose the scandal tomorrow, I will ask Sister Jing to issue a statement. Linji Food will not participate in any evaluation. The right to evaluate will be given to customers, not an organization."
The tire seller at Michelin doesn't understand Chinese food enough. There is also a copycat version of the Black Pearl rating in China, and it is completely unprofessional.
When evaluating dishes, it all depends on the presentation. If the presentation is in line with Michelin's, you will get high scores, and if the presentation is mediocre, you will get a bad review.
This is simply an insult to Chinese food.
In fact, when it comes to plate presentation, Chinese food is the strong point. For example, high-end Huaiyang cuisine and Shandong cuisine can be arranged into poems and paintings, reaching the realm of art.
Western food is really lacking in this aspect, but those rating organizations do not refer to the art of presentation of Chinese food, and just follow the Michelin style.
Isn't this a typical case of discarding the basics and chasing the last?
Shen Jiayue pulled off a piece of chicken wing and took a bite, looked at Lin Xu and asked:
"What if they deliberately blackmail us?"
"It's too simple. Let's go back to Senior Brother and the others and go to the Black Pearl Restaurant one by one to find fault. If the language is sharper, Black Pearl's authority will be destroyed in less than two months."
We promise not to use Senior Brother and Lao Dai first, but if you persist in your stubbornness, these two fearless masters will definitely give you some clues.
This type of rating organization was originally a sedan chair carried by everyone, so it seemed to have some authority.
But if being chased and criticized by a few state banquet chefs leads to a decrease in the number of customers in a certified restaurant, what authority does this have?
Restaurants go to great lengths to rate themselves in order to attract customers. If they can’t attract customers, it may even have the opposite effect. Then what’s the point of rating them?
Once a restaurant takes the initiative to reach for stars, a chain reaction will naturally follow.
When the time comes, black pearls and white pearls will no longer work.
Shen Guofu smiled and said:
"Michelin was fine at the beginning, but in recent years its ratings have become increasingly unprofessional, and they prefer to listen to stories when rating, but high-end Chinese food is the most disdainful of telling stories, so it can't be rated... unlike Japan
Ingredients, hyped sushi gods, rice cooking immortals, etc., this is what foreigners do."
"Ha, Dad, remember to call me the Air Fryer God and the God of Small Home Appliances from now on. I'm pretty good at this too."
Ren Jie held a piece of French fries and put it into his mouth:
"If Lin Xu were in the Japanese food circle, maybe he would be called the Noodle God by now. I feel like the Japanese food circle likes to do this kind of gimmick the most, the god of ramen, the god of tofu, the god of rice balls, the god of tuna.
God, God of Toast, etc. are all similar titles."
Everyone talked and laughed, and then dispersed after eating.
The next day, after seeing Chen Meijuan off, Lin Xu continued to work in the store.
At 5 p.m., the video will be officially launched.
Lin Xu directly taught three ways to make foie gras in the video, which made netizens hooked:
"Damn it, I thought foie gras was so fancy, but it turns out it's so simple."
"I didn't expect it. I just wanted to think about it for a long time. I didn't expect that I could do it directly."
"After searching, I found that foie gras is very cheap online. I plan to go and learn how to make foie gras and taste the delicious food that foreigners think."
"Boss Lin announced the foie gras recipe so straightforwardly. I wonder if it will offend those Western restaurants that are trying to make things more mysterious."
"With Boss Lin's reputation, it shouldn't be a big deal if he offends him, right?"
"If you have any suggestions, let Chef Xie go visit a few stores and make that store popular again."
"..."
Netizens are discussing it with all kinds of talk.
I want to try both methods of foie gras with and without breading, but as for the third method of grilling, I am a bit intimidated.
After all, the video repeatedly emphasizes that non-professionals should not try it rashly, as it may cause burns.
Non-professionals know how much they weigh, and they just watch the fun and won't be stupid enough to try it.
But the TV station has professionals. Since last night, it has been promoting all kinds of overwhelming things. Not only is it a Michelin three-star chef, but he also cooks foie gras.
Netizens all clicked on the official account of Shiweirenjian to see how the foie gras cooked here tastes.
Before doing this, Mr. Lin repeatedly emphasized that he was not good at cooking Western food, so he just gave it a simple try. I hope the Western chef would give me a pat on the unprofessional part.
It stands to reason that the chef's skills with three Michelin stars should be higher than those of Lin Xu.
Clicking on the video, Min Zhengnan emphasized at the beginning that Western food is difficult and different from home-cooked food, and called on viewers not to try it at home.
Netizens are all black with question mark faces.
Boss Lin made it clear that foie gras is a home-cooked dish and the preparation is very simple.
When you came up, you said you couldn't try it at home.
Is there any great secret here?
Everyone patiently watched it and found that it was similar to Lin Xu's method of making pan-fried foie gras. The only difference was that there were some inexplicable rituals.
For example, after crushing the pepper, pinch it a little bit with your fingers and sprinkle it on the foie gras.
For table salt, you have to raise your hands high and throw it on the foie gras like a salt spreader.
These messy steps made netizens confused.
wtf?
What the hell is this age, and we still use Brother Sayan’s rituals to make things mysterious? Can’t we have some new ideas?
And they keep saying that it is a high-end dish that cannot be cooked at home, but from beginning to end, I didn’t find it very difficult, and the technique is not even as skillful as Boss Lin.
The previous step of frying foie gras left everyone speechless, but it was still a delicious recipe and you can watch it.
But later, Chef Min directly said that there is a very high-end grilling method, which is extremely difficult to make and is his teacher's unique skill.
Netizens:???????
Did your teacher open a restaurant called Linji Food?
Boss Lin, who is not very good at it, just effortlessly performed the technique of searing foie gras, and the dish he made is worth trying even through the screen.
What a shame, under the guise of being a three-star Michelin chef, you can’t even sear foie gras.
If there weren't Lin Xu's video, Min Zhengnan's video wouldn't be a problem. It's even more in line with the public's perception of Western food, thinking it is some kind of high-end cuisine.
But after watching Lin Xu’s video and watching this one, I felt it was really baffling.
It’s just foie gras, but it can’t be made at home. Does it require professionals to do it?
Can it be resurrected or explode?
With such dissatisfaction, everyone can truly see clearly how qualified Western chefs are.
"This chef is so unprofessional. I'm better than him even in the kitchen."
"Me too. After talking for a long time, I'm not as professional as Boss Lin."
"I had very high expectations before watching. Who knew that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. How do you judge a Samsung chef at this level? Are you threatening with Samsung note7?"
The comment area was full of doubts. A few people who originally spoke for Min Zhengnan fell silent after watching the video of Lin Xu making foie gras.
On one side is a three-star chef who claims to have returned from China with a great reputation, and on the other is a Chinese chef who is not good at Western food.
But the result of this remote competition was that the Samsung chef was beaten.
Even speaking of the game, Boss Lin was a bit underwhelmed, because he showed the kind of leisurely state, obviously not using his full strength.
Over at the TV station, several leaders looked at the comments that kept pouring out of the comment area, and by the way watched the video of Lin Xu making foie gras, and even had the urge to delete the video.
What does it mean that there is no harm without comparison? This is it!
But this is not over yet.
When netizens were discussing how Chinese chefs beat Michelin three-star chefs, the platform suddenly added a push message with a very exciting title:
"Can you get three Michelin stars by spending money? Revealing the internal tricks of Michelin ratings. Be careful not to be deceived!"
After clicking on it, it is a video that is nearly twenty minutes long.
The video begins with a group of flash shots of Michelin restaurants, basically all of which are familiar brands.
Next to him, he slowly talked about the origin and rating standards of Michelin, as well as the value represented by one star, two stars and three stars. After completing the popular science, it turned to the internal interview about spending money to buy stars.
An interview with an insider with his back to the camera exposed the inside story of Michelin stars.
Not only that, this insider also revealed the charges of some restaurants he handled, and even exposed the transfer records of some restaurant owners.
In addition to the evidence, there are also interviews with big players in the Chinese food industry.
For example, the chairman of the Chinese Cuisine Association, Liu Zhengyu of the National Tourism Association, and the management of major tourism groups all accepted interviews and denounced the chaotic rating behavior of the catering industry.
Geng Lishan also said in the video that using the standards of Western food to evaluate Chinese food is a blasphemy against Chinese cooking culture.
Moreover, Chinese food does not need to be evaluated, and it does not need to be divided into three, six or nine grades. You can just consume it according to your own consumption level. If you rate it like this, you will only fall into the trap of consumerism.
After watching the video, Lin Xuchong asked Chen Yan:
"This film cost a lot of money, right?"
Chen Yan shook her head:
"Except for the insider who spent money, the other interviews were all done on a friendly basis. President Liu Zhengyu helped save the money for the tour, and several senior chefs from Beijing helped contact the cooking association." Zeng Xiaoqi took a sip of yam juice:
"The TV station has just praised a chef with three Michelin stars, and we have exposed the inside of this Michelin-starred chef. It is really possible that Shiweirenjian will be suspended... A good program has been crippled like this."
She felt a little sorry.
But it's normal to think about it. "Bite of the Tongue" has also been suspended.
Once this kind of program is participated by leaders, laymen take charge of insiders, and even people with interests participate in it, it will eventually lead to this situation.
Therefore, the sharp-tongued Director Chen chose to resign, and he also jumped out of the system.
Chen Yan smiled and said:
"There shouldn't be many people going to your house to propose marriage during the Chinese New Year this year."
Zeng Xiaoqi nodded:
"Indeed, I had a job at Yanjing TV Station in the past, and it was within the system, so there were many marriage proposals. Now that I have resigned, I have lost my iron job, and the value of the dating market has plummeted..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
But it’s a good time to hide away.
I will work hard for a few more years to get a small house in the capital. When my parents want to come to the capital, they can come to the capital. Anyway, I will not go back to my hometown, so they can say whatever they want.
Shu Yun pinched Zeng Xiaoqi's face:
"Why are you so pessimistic? Why don't you go down and worship Dundun and ask our God of Wealth to promise you a marriage. If it works out, you might be able to get married today."
Zeng Xiaoqi drank the yam juice in an unladylike manner:
"Shit, if Dundun was really effective, you, the godmother, would have been single a long time ago, and why are you pitifully begging us to watch a movie with you?"
Shu Yun: "..."
I have good intentions to comfort you, but if you raise your hand and stab me, right?
What a plastic sisterhood!
Shen Jiayue was tired of watching the drama of the fat reduction team falling in love and killing each other. She turned her face and asked Lin Xu:
"My parents are not here tonight, should we make some new snacks to try?"
Lin Xu smiled bitterly:
"Didn't you just have dinner?"
Shen Jiayue is already used to four meals a day:
"But how can anyone have dinner after four o'clock in the afternoon? No matter, I want to eat in the evening, you will make me starve, and I will increase the price of the bride price on the wedding day!"
There was a wedding coming up, so Shen Baobao searched a lot of wedding videos on the Internet.
As a result, after watching the video, I saw many brides sitting in the wedding car and asking for more bride price. After watching the video, I felt bad.
She felt sympathy for the embarrassed expression on the groom's face, and also felt sad for the woman's behavior of treating herself as a commodity.
The couple has been so divided since the day they got married, will their lives be better in the future?
Shen Jiayue felt heartbroken when she thought that her Xubao might go back to her hometown to find someone to marry, or even encounter the possibility that the bride would ask for a higher price as a gift on the wedding day.
Fortunately, we are together, so Xu Bao won't have to worry about such things.
If he hadn't opened a restaurant and stayed in the capital, he might have been just like the groom in the video.
Wearing an ill-fitting suit with an embarrassment on his face, his father-in-law and mother-in-law were standing by, wiping away tears while begging relatives for money...
Lin Xu looked at the girl dotingly and said with a smile:
"Okay, I'll make you something to eat tonight. What do you want to eat?"
This question really stopped Shen Jiayue. She thought about it seriously and asked tentatively:
"I want to eat fried skewers, the kind that used to be in front of the elementary school, fried mushrooms, fried potatoes, fried gluten, fried yuba... Shall we eat this tonight?"
"Okay...Qi Siming will come over to me later to shoot a video. After we finish filming, we will go home and make fried skewers."
Lin Xu agreed and then looked at the clock on the wall.
We made an appointment to shoot a video at 5:30 p.m. Why hasn’t Qi Siming come over yet?
He wanted to call and ask, but he thought there were still about ten minutes, so he should wait first. The roads in the capital were so congested, and it was getting dark at a little after five o'clock, so it was normal to delay for a while.
After all, this is Yanjing, so it would be strange if there is no traffic jam.
When she heard that her cousin wanted to eat fried skewers, Chen Yan sneered and said:
"Are you trying to gain weight? You keep picking up the fat ones to eat."
"It's up to you to take care of it! Don't eat it if you can!"
Chen Yan opened her mouth, wanting to have the guts to stop without saying a word, but thinking about the fact that she hadn't eaten fried skewers for many years, and that she slapped the TV station in the face today and didn't celebrate yet, she said:
"I'm not going there to eat. Ren Jie has to stay up all night tonight. He has to change his shift for the day of the engagement... I'm just going to your house to sleep in the guest room for one night. The heating in my house is not very warm."
"Yan Bao, when you look at him, his expression is really cute. He doesn't look like a Ben Si person at all."
Chen Yan: "!!!!!!"
Block!
After eating the fried skewers, I will blacklist it and see you in the drift bottle later.
Shen Jiayue laughed happily and said to Zeng Xiaoqi:
"Sister Xiaoqi, let's go too. It's fun when there are many people eating fried skewers."
"Let's wait until night. I have to go back to the company first and prepare the shooting plan for next week. I have to work for a capitalist, so I have to prepare all aspects in advance to avoid being underestimated by the boss."
She chatted for a while longer, then put on her bag, put on a woolen hat, and strode downstairs in over-the-knee boots, ready to stroll to the company and treat it as a digestion.
The sky is slightly dark now. Walking on the road, looking at the people coming and going, and the cold wind blowing, makes people feel homesick.
Arrive at Yingchun Street.
The wind blowing from the direction of the North Fourth Ring Road made Zeng Xiaoqi shrink back.
Only then did she realize that she had forgotten to take the scarf.
Just as she turned around to go back, a motorcycle approaching at a high speed was unable to dodge and hit her body.
Zeng Xiaoqi screamed and fell to the ground, and the motorcycle and rider also fell to the side.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry...Are you injured? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
The helmeted motorcyclist got up from the ground, ignoring his bruised arms and legs, and limped to Zeng Xiaoqi's side. He asked as he took off his newly purchased Venom helmet. p>
Zeng Xiaoqi got up from the ground with difficulty. She was about to say you are blind, but then she realized that this person was Qi Siming.
And Qi Siming also recognized her:
"Director Zeng, why are you here? Let me take you to the hospital for a check-up?"
Zeng Xiaoqi dusted herself off:
"No, I'm fine, I just fell down...Are you here to see Boss Lin to shoot a video? He just asked you why you didn't go..."
While the two were chatting, Dundun in the store turned over leisurely on the service desk, hiding his merit and fame!
