Food: Random stalls, customers chase me all over the country

Chapter 591-Chengdu Happy Valley, Halloween Warm-up Event

"A 19-year-old man at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Base released a drone, frightening the giant panda Huahua, who climbed a tree."

"Permanently blacklisted! Those who fly drones at the Giant Panda Breeding Base are permanently restricted from entering the park."

"The panda is frightened, and the strongest wild food boss is taking action - I'll pay for it if it breaks!"

"Mapo tofu, twice-cooked pork, boiled beef, and mouth-watering chicken—four representative Sichuan dishes—why are there such polarized opinions between the locals and Boss Wang's? Is it the decline of local cuisine, or is it that the ultimate outdoor food boss has a built-in filter?"

"Good reviews, good reviews, good reviews! Our reporter randomly interviewed customers who had purchased Boss Wang's food, and surprisingly, not a single one was negative! So the secret is..."

The latest news is updated very quickly, but the popularity of two things has remained high.

The first thing is the drone incident in Villa No. 6.

The black and white dumplings are absolutely treasured by Sichuan people, and Hua Ju is a top female star. If anyone dares to bully Hua Ju, it will be explosive news in the local area and even the whole country.

When netizens saw the person who stole the flight being taken away by the police and then permanently blocked, they all cheered.

At present, Huahua and Heye are still undergoing inspection and will be released into the outdoor field only after confirmation.

The second thing is naturally Wang Fan’s delicious food.

His popularity has always been high. This time, at the invitation of Sichuan foodies, cooking Sichuan cuisine in Sichuan is tantamount to going all out. Many people are paying attention to whether Wang Fan can succeed in proving his mistake.

Judging from the current online information and various reports, Wang Fan is undoubtedly successful.

No bad reviews!

Even the most discerning eaters would be completely engrossed in the delicious food prepared by Wang Fan. No matter who asked them, they would praise it highly. And when they recalled the taste, just from the shining eyes and the aftertaste on their faces, you could tell that what they said must be true.

Numbness, spiciness, freshness, fragrance and tenderness, the key characteristics of Sichuan cuisine, are fully displayed under Wang Fan's hands.

It’s not that the Sichuan cuisine is bad, it’s that the chef who cooked it is bad!
"No wonder they say Sichuan cuisine is declining. It turns out the craftsmanship has been lost. Honestly, if every restaurant could taste like Boss Wang's... No, let alone the same, even if it was only 70% as good, I would still go there often to support him."

"You keep making sour faces saying that we diners only eat hot pot and skewers and don't eat stir-fried dishes. I'm wondering why we don't eat stir-fried dishes. Don't you understand?"

"Yesterday I went to eat Boss Wang's boiled beef. To be honest, it was really delicious and the meat was really tender. I think I had eaten something this delicious when I was a kid, but I haven't had any memory of it in recent years."

"I had mouth-watering chicken yesterday. 60 yuan a piece isn't cheap, but I think I'd be willing to eat a few more even if they charged me 100 yuan. It's really worth the money."

"A hotpot or skewers meal for one person costs around a hundred yuan. It's not that we don't want to spend money on food, but it's more important that we feel the food is worth the price."

Wang Fan’s incident was like a fuse, triggering all the resentment of Tianfu netizens.

Everyone was talking at once, complaining that the taste of Sichuan cuisine had declined significantly in recent years. Some of the harsh words were too harsh to be shown because of the high content of maize.

But if you look closely, there are actually only four words between the lines of everyone's words - angry at their lack of fighting spirit.

You can say that Boss Wang has some unique seasoning, but all the steps are done in front of the diners. Every ingredient and every seasoning is clearly stated, and it doesn't look like a secret recipe at all.

Moreover, the finished product is exactly the same as the one described in the ordinary recipe, and every flavor characteristic is fully reflected.

This shows that the food cooked by Boss Wang is delicious not because of the different recipes. Similarly, the food cooked by others is not delicious not because of the bad recipes.

Burnt out!

All the bigwigs of the Sichuan Cuisine Chefs Association feel the same way at this moment.

The projection in the conference room was working, and what was playing on the screen over and over again was the process of Wang Fan making several dishes in the past few days.

It's an open kitchen and Wang Fan didn't ask for no photos or videos, so there are quite a lot of videos of him cooking circulating.

A group of masters and the most outstanding disciples of each school stared intently at Wang Fan's operation on the big screen, more serious than primary school students in class.

After the video was played, the masters frowned and thought hard about what was so special or outstanding in those pictures that made the diners praise them so much.

President Wang Qi clapped his hands and said, "Everyone, please share your opinions."

Since the last meeting, all restaurants have strictly required their chefs to take every dish seriously and strive to maintain their reputation.

Although the praise rate has increased in the past two days, it is still far from what was expected, so we had to call the masters together for another meeting.

Master Li, the head chef at Taibai Tower, frowned and said, "Could it be that he added some special spices? Although we can see every step of his cooking, there's no guarantee that he might have added some special spices to the regular spices when preparing the ingredients privately."

"Makes sense."

“There are examples of this method before.”

"It's possible that some material was used that we don't know about."

Master Li's words were supported by several masters. After all, this is the most reliable explanation at present.

But Master Liu slowly spoke, "I've consulted him about his last four dishes, including the ratios of the various spices. Knowing him, he wouldn't keep secrets from me in this regard, so the deliciousness of his dishes can't be due to a secret recipe."

Master Li asked in confusion, "Master Liu, are you so sure? You know, we can only see the surface of a person, not his heart."

Master Liu said firmly, "The quality of our dishes reflects our character. If someone is always thinking about his own little agenda, how can he possibly make our Sichuan cuisine spicy and direct, and let the diners enjoy it to their heart's content? I believe in him."

Before Master Li could speak, Chairman Wang Qi knocked on the table and interrupted him: "Let's not dwell on the secret recipe for now. Let's assume there is no secret recipe and discuss the ingredients, timing, heat, and cooking techniques of these dishes. Since Lao Liu has discussed it with him, why don't you talk about what you discussed first?"

Master Liu nodded and said, "To be frank, it's just a few points. He selects all the ingredients himself, which makes them fresher and more suitable for the dish. He is bold and unrestrained in each cooking step, yet delicate and refined. He is extremely familiar with the ripeness points of various ingredients and side dishes, which results in his dishes, including the side dishes, being fresh and tender."

Master Xiaoliang really wanted to scratch his head.

What the Master said sounded easy to understand, but after listening to it I felt like I couldn’t understand it at all.

What does it mean to be both bold and unrestrained, yet delicate and refined?
The kind that comes with a small clamp in the excavator?

Fortunately, Master Liu went on to explain: "To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than 'confidence' and 'passion'. Confidence makes him bold, and passion makes him delicate. These are not states that he deliberately pursues, but his natural working attitude. This leads to every dish he makes being the best choice." President Wang Qi frowned.

I was discussing techniques with you, and now you're talking about your mentality?

Master Liu continued, "I've been in Daocheng Yading for the past two days. You all know the situation at our hotel. To be honest, I've been very happy these past few days in Daocheng Yading. There, no one cares about what I do or how I do it. I pick the ingredients and cook the food myself every day. I feel that the dishes I've made these days are much more delicious than those I made before. This is what I mean by the influence of mentality."

President Wang frowned and fell into deep thought. He seemed to understand what Master Liu was thinking.

This should be about the relationship between work and hobbies.

There is definitely a difference between working for work and working for a hobby.

"What Lao Liu said makes sense. I think it's an idea for improvement. In the future, I'll try to find some apprentices who are particularly fond of cooking. However, this is a long and arduous task. For now, I still have to work hard to improve the quality control of my own store."

After saying that, he sighed and smiled bitterly, "But fortunately, tomorrow will be the last day for that river-crossing dragon. We won't be roasted on the fire again. Let's quickly send him somewhere else to cause trouble for others."

……

The fifth day of setting up the stall.

Today, Wang Fan and his friends did not run far. They went swimming in the mountains and played in the water. Today, they planned to play some games that modern young people like to play.

Chengdu Happy Valley, a super large amusement park covering 51 square meters. He had never been to Happy Valley in all these years in the capital, so he had to make up for it when he came to Chengdu.

There were quite a lot of people in Happy Valley during the National Day holiday, with the largest number of groups being families of three, sisters, and young couples.

As soon as the two arrived at the door, Zhuo Qianqian noticed that there was a costume party going on tonight, which made her eyes light up.

She herself likes cosplay very much, so of course she is eager to try this kind of activity.

"Boss, there's a costume party here tonight!"

Wang Fan could tell Zhuo Qianqian was excited, so he naturally wouldn't be the one to spoil her fun: "Okay, let's spend the whole day here."

Zhuo Qianqian was immediately delighted and said, "Boss, you're so nice."

Wang Fan laughed and said, "It's just a spur-of-the-moment idea. Have you decided who you want to cosplay?"

There was no need to worry about clothes. There were many cosplay costumes he bought for Zhuo Qianqian in the RV. It was natural to support his girlfriend's hobby. After all, he would be the only one who got the benefit in the end...

Zhuo Qianqian asked thoughtfully, "Boss, are you planning to set up a stall here today?"

Wang Fan nodded: "Since we're going to play for a whole day, we can only put it here."

Zhuo Qianqian looked at the poster's introduction: "Looking at the theme, it seems to be warming up for Halloween, so the overall style should be dark, otherwise..."

Zhuo Qianqian suggested with a strange smile: "How about you, Boss, cosplay Uncle Ba, and I cosplay Jennifer? Then you can sell Fuqi Feipian today... hehehe..."

Good guy!
Wang Fan looked at Zhuo Qianqian in shock: "Your idea is very evil."

Wang Fan was really surprised. He knew Hannibal. He had seen movies before and knew that there was definitely no wife in other people's wife cakes, but there was a real couple in the Fuqi Feipian made by Uncle Hannibal.

As for Jennifer, Wang Fan felt that it was very easy to cosplay as Zhuo Qianqian.

Her appearance itself has an exotic charm. Three-dimensionalize her facial features, curve her eyebrows, and then take a lighter to burn her tongue...

Forget it, I'll just find a fake lighter.

But the combination of Uncle Ba and Jennifer is also quite exciting.

"Okay, let's do it."

When Zhuo Qianqian heard Wang Fan's agreement, her big eyes turned into crescents. If her boyfriend was willing to have such crazy fun with her, what else did she need?
After getting off the bus, Wang Fan didn't rush out to play. Instead, he went to the tourist service center to ask the staff, "Hello, I'd like to ask if there will be a food area for this evening's event? If so, is it still possible to rent a stall now?"

The staff member was a young girl who had been busy for a while. When she heard Wang Fan's question, she said casually, "Yes, there is, but not now..."

"Yes, yes, yes! Definitely!"

Before the staff member could finish, a male staff member on the other side interrupted her and asked excitedly, "Are you planning to rent? How big an area do you want?"

April looked at her colleagues in surprise. Those stalls had clearly been rented out long ago, so where did they get them? They were even asked to choose the square footage, as if there was still room for choice.

Wang Fan said, "It would be best if there is parking, but if not, 10 square meters would be enough."

Qi Heng was a little embarrassed: "Um... there should be no place to park the car. After all, the size of your car is really too big. Unless you go to another area, as for a 10 square meter stall, there is no problem. Do you want to rent a stall or go to another area?"

Wang Fan didn't think much about it. This kind of activity would be less engaging if it were held in other areas. "Then let's rent a 10-square-meter booth."

Qi Heng said, "Okay, please sit down for a moment. I'll go get the contract and you can just sign it once I've filled it out."

After saying that, he quickly poured two glasses of water for Wang Fan and Zhuo Qianqian, then walked into the office to get the contract.

April also followed him into the office, but she glanced at Wang Fan when she stood up. Unfortunately, Wang Fan was wrapped too tightly and she really couldn't recognize him.

As soon as she entered the door, she grabbed Qi Heng and angrily said, "Brother, aren't you messing around? Our stalls have been sold out a long time ago, how are you going to get another one? And you're still signing a contract. If they find out the location is wrong, you'll be in big trouble."

Qi Heng snorted lightly and said excitedly: "Big sister, you didn't forget your family, did you? You didn't see who that big brother was?"

Siyue said, "Big sunglasses, a sun hat, and a mask. I can tell who it is. And even if it's the boss's son, you can't invalidate the stall you've already signed and give it to him, right?"

Qi Heng said smugly, "It seems you really didn't realize it. That's Boss Wang! Have you forgotten what the boss said before? As long as Boss Wang comes, we have to dig a stall for him! At worst, we can ask the NPC to move somewhere else. At least we can free up 10 square meters for him."

April's eyes suddenly widened: "Boss Wang came to our place?!"
