Go to France, and they will be willing to be your vanguard and shout slogans. This is the way to do business, you have to find allies."

"Let me tell you, the only ones you really need to guard against are the little devils and the second devils. Their faces are the same as ours and their culture is the same as ours. You have to relax your vigilance and give them too many opportunities. Then maybe you can

They are like fish and gold, deceiving their teachers and destroying their ancestors..."

Not to mention, what the old man said was reasonable, and Ning Weimin deeply agreed with it.

He indeed forgot that the inheritance and development of knowledge and skills also require a proper environment.

When doing business, you need to learn how to find helpers. How can you make enemies everywhere?

However, for the sake of caution, Ning Weimin then went to ask "Zhang Dashao" for advice, and Master Zhang's opinion made him feel more at ease.

"Chinese food is difficult, Western food is easy. Chinese food emphasizes skills, while Western food emphasizes form. Do you think it's the techniques that are easier to practice? Or the forms that are easier to learn? So don't worry, let's learn from them when it comes to cooking. We have to imagine that

It will only take two or three years at most. If they want to learn from us, if they are really willing to work hard, it will take at least twenty years."

"What your master said is right. When it comes to cooking, it wouldn't be the same in another environment. Even I don't dare to say that I can cook fried dumplings better than the cook at that restaurant. We don't have the right bite.

I don’t know how to spray balsamic vinegar, but I don’t have the green garlic that I eat readily. Let alone foreigners imitating us.”

"Besides, don't forget that you are dealing in palace cuisine. What is the purpose of palace cuisine? In addition to the high-quality raw materials, extremely particular cooking techniques and matching methods, and the pursuit of pure and strong taste. What is more important is that

'Gathering of talents, eclectic' is on. Right?"

"The range of recipes for palace cuisine is unmatched by any other cuisine. It is a culinary collection that brings together products from all over the world and the essence of cooking techniques from all over the country. In the past, the royal family used tributes from all over the world. Nowadays, the world

It’s bigger. We should also select and incorporate the products of foreigners, be inclusive and create new dishes, so that we can develop. Otherwise, if you cherish your own money and refuse to move forward, won’t you just be resting on your laurels?”

"Let's put it this way, I agree with your master. This matter will do you more good than harm. It will not only help you improve the quality of your dishes, but also make your restaurant famous overseas. If you want to refuse, you would be stupid. As for people

Well, don’t hold on too tightly. Can you hold on to people’s hearts by holding on to them? It will only lead to alienation and morality.”

In short, the two old men's broadmindedness and wisdom put Ning Weimin to shame.

But he also solved his doubts in time and let him know what is the right choice.

So after Ning Weimin had a private conversation with the five chefs at Tan Palace, he quickly sent a reply to Song Huagui.

He agreed to help Song Huagui manage Maxim Restaurant, and in principle also agreed to the requests of several French chefs.

Just like that, in early February, when the Spring Festival was approaching, not only Ning Weimin also took on the title of deputy general manager of Maxim Restaurant.

Yang Feng is also happy to serve as the first Chinese executive sous chef of Maxim Restaurant.

And Tan Gong Restaurant does not suffer, because the combination of Chinese and Western food has the same promotion effect on both parties.

Sauce is the core of French cuisine, it is a concentrated "haut gout".

After Dai Hong mastered the preparation method of Béchamel Sauce, she found that it was perfect for making cold dishes.

In this way, cold dishes prepared with one of the five major French sauces appeared on the menu of Tan Gong Restaurant, which also refreshed the taste buds of domestic diners.

There is also a dish called "Asparagus with Spicy Sauce" in French cuisine, and the sauce used is also Hollandaise Sauce, one of the five major sauces in French cuisine.

At Jiang Dachun's suggestion, Ning Weimin asked Tan Gong Restaurant to use asparagus instead. As a result, "Asparagus with Fragrant Sauce" was launched in the winter when there were not many fresh vegetables, and it was very popular among the Chinese people.

Therefore, Tan Palace's asparagus is more expensive than Luoyang paper, and sales are very hot.

This even allowed Ning Weimin to discover a secret, that is, where the precious ingredients come from.

Not only does it require rare things to be valuable, but it also requires fame and publicity to reach a consensus among the public.

For example, Tan Palace Restaurant and Maxim Restaurant jointly promoted asparagus. In a short period of time, this dish began to become famous and its style soared.

Whether it's Tan Gong Restaurant or Maxim's, regular customers who call to reserve a table will often ask first if they have asparagus.

Even Sichuan Hotel and Jingcheng Hotel called to establish friendship and asked where they got the goods.
