Chapter 6 Thoughts at the dinner table

Fan Wubing originally wanted to take them to eat Western food, but then he thought that there were more Western restaurants in Korea, so there was no need to seem to be popular with foreigners, so he took them to a time-honored private restaurant.

"You'll take us to eat this?" Fan Kang looked at the storefront of this private restaurant and was not very good-looking, so he was a little doubtful if Fan Wubing was saving money.

Fan Wubing gave Fan Kang a blank look, and then said, "The big storefront does not necessarily mean the food is delicious, and the delicious food is not necessarily the storefront. I have tried all the food in Shanghai and happened to find it. The price is too expensive, but the things are very authentic."

This restaurant makes authentic Zhejiang cuisine, which is said to have been around for more than two hundred years.

"The southern cuisine is represented by three local flavor dishes, namely Hangzhou, Ningbo and Shaoxing. It became famous early, and the history of Zhejiang cuisine is quite long. At that time, the capitalists went south to open a hotel and used the cooking method of the north to make the rich ingredients of the south delicious. The southern cuisine became a major feature of Zhejiang cuisine." After Fan Wubing sat down, he ordered a few dishes and said to everyone, "For example, in the past, the taste of southern people was not sweet. After the northern people went south, it affected the taste of southern people, and the dishes also added sugar. After the famous dish of Bianjing, the sweet and sour Yellow River carp arrived in Lin'an, he used fish as the raw material to cook it into the famous dish of Zhejiang West Lake vinegar fish."

The capital mentioned by Fan Wubing naturally refers to the capital before the Song Dynasty crossed south, that is, Bianjing.

After the Song Dynasty moved south, more and more emperors, generals, talented men and beautiful women visited the scenery in Hangzhou, and the catering industry emerged. Its production was fine and diverse. It liked to name dishes after scenic spots. The cooking methods were mainly fried, stir-fryed, stewed, and fried, which were fresh and crisp. Ningbo was located on the coast and was characterized by the combination of salt and freshness, steamed, braised, and stewed seafood. It emphasizes freshness, tenderness, softness, and smoothness, focusing on large soups and water, and maintaining the original flavor.

Shaoxing cuisine is good at cooking river food, poultry, crispy and glutinous in the mouth, and has a rural flavor. The main famous dishes include West Lake vinegar fish, Dongpo pork, steamed lotus leaf paste, Longjing shrimp, clam yellow croaker soup, etc.

Among the dishes ordered by Fan Wubing, in addition to the Song Sao fish, there were also fresh-style eels. Fan Kang and others had never heard of this dish, so Fan Wubing introduced to them, "It is said that in the late Spring and Autumn Period, King Fuchai of Wu fought with Yue Kingdom and led his troops to capture Yinyi, Yue, which is now Ningbo. The imperial chefs in the Wuding Food, except beef, mutton, elk, and pork, took local eels and croakers to replace fresh fish as dishes. After the King of Wu ate, he felt that the fish was fragrant and delicious, which was different from the carp and crucian carp that he ate in the palace in the past. When he returned to the palace, he always felt that the taste was not as delicious as that of Yinyi. Later, he sent someone to the beach of Yin County to catch an old fisherman who made fish dishes for him. He steamed it with eels and condiments. Fuchai praised it after eating it, and the eels and croakers were worth a hundred times more than they had."

Just when I was about to say this, the boss personally brought the dishes with someone. After hearing Fan Wubing explain the origin of the dishes here, he couldn't help but laugh. "In fact, eels were also popular among the people in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Taiwanese vegetation produced in Songmen area of ​​Wenling County, Taizhou, Zhejiang was famous all over the country. Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty mentioned in the "Suiyuan Food List". The fresh-style eels made in Ningbo every winter and during the Spring Festival can be eaten with a little breeze, which is indeed very delicious."

"We came at the right time. It just happened to be over the Spring Festival, and eating this food was fresh." Fan Wubing said to everyone with a smile.

The boss laughed and said, "You are joking with a guest, come here at any time, and it is guaranteed to be fresh."

"The price of the vegetable is not discounted. Please add more money. Please ask the boss to ask the chef to make it more refined. I am here to entertain guests." Fan Wubing took out a stack of money and handed it to the boss.

"It's a little too much-" the boss said after looking at it.

"You are really a honest person. For this reason, I will be a regular visitor here in the future." Fan Wubing said with a smile.

The boss didn't say anything anymore, smiled and bowed, and took the guys down.

At this time, Fan Kang's mentor said, "Fan Kang, your brother's business is very big. He is so generous. The expense of a meal is enough for us to spend a month on research."

This is the first time the old man has spoken, and it sounds a bit sour.

When Fan Wubing heard this, he immediately followed up, "Teacher, I should have done this, right? After all, my brother is also your student. I followed him like this, it seems that he was respecting his teacher?"

Although the old man was old-fashioned, he was also amused by Fan Wubing's words, "You kid are really, haha."

Hehe means, naturally, it can be called, so Fan Wubing said, "Teacher, it's not that I'm saying anything else. Now the country is not rich, and your research funding is also limited. In fact, it's better to learn from abroad, join forces with enterprises, and share resources, so there is naturally no problem with funding. If you always have this idea, I am willing to provide you with funds for students."

When the old man heard Fan Wubing's words, he was a little surprised. After a while, he realized and said with a stuttering, "If it is a research, it will be only tens of thousands of yuan per month, but the materials needed are relatively difficult to handle. It is not possible without the support of the state. If we join forces with the company, the funds may be easy to solve, but this material is hard to say."

In fact, the materials needed to study LCD technology are the top priority, because the old man’s project is supported by the state, so the materials and other materials are basically submitted for a list of demand, so naturally someone will get it. If the country loses support, there is no way to start in this regard.

It’s not that the old man doesn’t want to completely solve the problem of insufficient funds, but if the source of those materials is cut off, the chain will be broken in future research, which is not worth the effort.

After all, some materials can only be obtained in China, but the prices abroad are too high.

The Korean female assistant also said, "If it weren't for the materials, some large Korean companies would also want to cooperate with teachers, but now our research projects are really impossible to cooperate with companies."

Fan Wubing glanced at the female assistant and found that she was a little nervous. It was obviously her sudden appearance, which surprised her a little. Perhaps if her cooperation proposal was successful, her plan would be seriously affected. After all, the confidentiality system in the school is much weaker. Once commercialized, these tasks will be raised to the level of confidentiality, which is not conducive to her actions.

At the same time, if the country's support for this project is cancelled, her original intention is to collect information about various sensitive materials in China, which will be a problem.

Fan Wubing smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. I can provide whatever the country can provide. Teacher, what kind of materials do you need for your research. Whether it is domestic or foreign, I can do it, and it won't miss the problem."

The old man was a little moved when he heard Fan Wubing say this, but he didn't know if Fan Kang's younger brother had such strength, so he looked at Fan Kang.

Fan Kang understood the teacher's meaning, so he said, "My younger brother has great abilities. My sister's company is not small, with a revenue of billions a year. In fact, it is just a company created by my younger brother. There are several such companies. What he said is definitely possible, it depends on your own meaning."

The old man knew that his students would not speak randomly, so he was a little moved. However, when he thought that the projects he was researching were supported by the state, he was a little undecided, so he said to Fan Wubing, "I need to communicate with my superiors for this issue. If you can do a good job in this area, I am willing to cooperate with you. After all, the funding for activities is too tight now and many projects cannot be carried out. If I give me enough research funds and materials, I will be confident that I will make a considerable breakthrough within one year and solve the bottleneck problem of LCD technology!"

Fan Wubing was overjoyed when he heard this, "Don't worry, you have to take care of this matter with your heart."

Then the dishes were sent, and the boss also specially sent two pots of wine and specifically stated that this was his own flower sculpture.

So Fan Wubing picked up the wine glass and said to everyone, "Teacher, everyone, please drink this glass."

It is impossible not to mention that the chefs in this private restaurant are very skilled, especially after receiving Fan Wubing’s reward, they worked hard. The dozen dishes that came out can be said to show the chef’s skills to the fullest, and they are completely up to the national standards.

Fan Kang hasn't come out for a long time and his food is the worst. Although Xiao Qiang is a little restrained, he undoubtedly eats a little too much. The old man has strong self-control and eats average food. However, the boss's own flower carvings are very suitable for his taste. He drank more than half a pot in a row, and was a little drunk, obviously very satisfied.

Fan Wubing has been to this restaurant many times, so he has become somewhat immunized when facing these delicious meals. While eating dishes slowly, he pays attention to the expression of the Korean female assistant.

At the beginning, she frowned slightly, as if she was worried about her proposal, but when she started eating, she found a sudden expression on her face, probably because she tasted the taste of Chinese food and her mood improved.

"Happiness and anger are manifested in appearance, and this girl should be easier to deal with." Fan Wubing came to this conclusion after observing for a night.

What I fear most is the kind of person who does not show his emotions and does not express his expression at all. Since he is a person with joy and anger, it is easy to deal with it. Especially when Fan Wubing learned from Fan Kang that this girl performed well in both theory and experiment, he determined his goal and must find a way to win her over and become a springboard for his entry into the LCD industry.

It seems a bit unkind to do this.
