Chapter 2288 As Gorgeous as History
As Singapore's national treasure chef, all the royal chefs of Singapore's state banquets are his apprentices, so one can imagine Opello's status.
It is precisely because of this that Opello, like Yuan Zhou, will pay special attention to the development of the chef industry in his country.
Currently, there are only Asian cultural exchanges with China that occur every few years, including the category of food culture.
France, which is now far away in Europe, has reached cooperation with China first, but Singapore, which is also in Asia, lags behind.
"I remember that Chairman Zhou also wanted to achieve national food-level exchanges with countries such as Italy and France, but it didn't go well. Why did the first exchange end after only half a year?"
Opelo was sitting in his chair leisurely, listening to his eldest disciple share the news, but now he couldn't sit still.
"And Juman Li, a French foodist, will come to China?" Opello disliked Juman Li very much. If he hadn't known that he couldn't win, he would have attacked Juman Li and wanted to fight.
For example, Juman Lee commented on Singaporean cuisine: it is a deformed product that is a fusion of Malay, Chinese, and Thai countries, with nothing of its own.
By the way, Juman Li’s previous evaluation of Chinese cuisine was that it is more famous than it is, and it is exaggerated in spite of the country’s history.
Now: The food is as gorgeous as the history.
Since communicating with Yuan Zhou, Opello foresaw that Chinese food culture might become the international mainstream. Otherwise, he would not have specifically told a few of his disciples when he came back, and when Tangler followed him for a visit, he would not have specifically Go to Huaxia Rongcheng and have a look.
Originally, Opello's arrangement was to personally lead a team to Chengdu, China, after retreat, to communicate with Yuan Zhou and other top chefs in China again, and to have a closer exchange of food between China and New Zealand. By the way, China, France, This level of exchange between China and Japan is not only a collision between chefs, but also has a certain impact on the food trade of the entire country.
Now, before he had time to make the next step, he suddenly found someone trying to take the pot away. Can he bear this?
"Master, as far as I know, Chef Juman Li admires Chef Yuan very much and also praises Chinese cuisine." Tangler said.
"No..." Halfway through his words, Opello suddenly remembered Yuan Zhou's strength and swallowed the rest of his words.
Since Yuanzhou can directly conquer himself, of course he can also conquer the stubborn Juman Li.
This is nothing unusual.
"It seems that Chef Yuan's cooking skills can really change people." Opello muttered.
After thinking about it, Opello suddenly stood up and said: "Tangler, contact Bai Ye and Li Dehua to see the latest arrangements. We will arrange to leave for China as soon as possible. Since France is already one step ahead, we belong to the same continent. We cannot lag behind, we must seize the time. This exchange is likely to be an opportunity for us to take a new direction in Singaporean cuisine, so we must pay attention to it."
"Okay, master, I'll contact you right away." Tangler responded directly.
As someone who has personally witnessed and even tasted Yuan Zhou's cooking, Tangler clearly understands how terrifying Yuan Zhou's strength is. Originally, a large part of Singaporean cuisine was derived from the improvement and extension of Chinese cuisine, so it is more like this. Chef exchanges are definitely twice as beneficial.
Opelo was planning an exchange meeting between Singapore and China, but Yuan Zhou was not aware of it at all, and Juman Li's arrival was not just for several meals.
Various other associations have received such news, and to be honest, Juman Li is quite famous in the top culinary circles, so it has caused a lot of chain reactions.
For example, Fujiwara Iemoto of Japan personally called Oishi to inquire about the matter. By the way, he asked them that Japan could actually change the China-Japan exchange meeting to twice a year.
The one that had the same reaction as Japan was naturally Thailand, which had Sucha as its backing. Of course, since there had not been any exchanges yet, the country was already making intensive preparations, and it was best to have exchanges in all aspects.
As for other Asian countries, they naturally began to find their own ways to come to China for exchanges. Therefore, the official received exchange applications from many countries at once, and it became very lively.
By the way, because Juman Li had a meal at Li Li's Western restaurant and then taught him a few tricks, Li Li made money again.
As dinner approaches, Taoxi Road is still very lively.
Although Wu Hai is not here, everyone's enthusiasm for queuing is still undiminished, and the first and second positions have been rearranged. Because without Wu Hai's strength, they can only take turns to be the banker to see who is lucky.
The first place tonight is the well-deserved queen. Jiang Changxi takes the first place. Even Wu Hai doesn't dare to stand up in front of queen Jiang, let alone others.
"It's a pity that Wu Hai is not here today." Jiang Changxi curled a strand of long hair that fell by her ears, with a regretful expression on her face.
"I don't think Wu Hai needs such treatment." Wu Yungui rarely followed Jiang Changxi.
This time the two people made an appointment to discuss some cooperation. The location of the discussion was naturally Wu Yungui's Food City, so that they could have a dinner to celebrate the cooperation.
The two of them arrived very early, and being able to occupy first and second place is definitely a sign of strength.
"The Wu Hai you are talking about is the most famous young painter in China who is known as the European Menyan?" Qiao Hongtao, who was tall and rough-looking behind Wu Yungui, asked.
He was also the third party who discussed cooperation with Wu Yungui and Jiang Changxi today. After the talks, he was pulled here to queue up by the two people who were said to be the host.
I know Wu Hai’s name because even though Qiao Hongtao looks rough, he actually likes arty art, especially paintings. He has a lot of oil paintings and ink paintings in his collection. He may not necessarily understand them, but some famous painters can still Just say a few words.
What Wu Yungui and the others said was far from the Wu painter he had heard about, but he thought that what could appear in their mouths should not be underestimated. This was the experience Qiao Hongtao gained after talking about cooperation today.
"Yes, that's him." Wu Yungui nodded.
"So it turns out that Painter Wu also likes to eat here? Then I must try the food that the great painter likes to eat." Qiao Hongtao said.
Originally he was not very interested in what to eat, but now he is more energetic. When he returns to China in the future, he can say that he has eaten the food that the painter Wu Hai likes to eat. Rounding it off, he has eaten with Wu Hai. People in the circle will definitely know it. Very envious.
Qiao Hongtao is a Singaporean Chinese. This time he came to cooperate because of the Wu Yungui Food City. Of course, why Jiang Changxi came together is a sad story for Wu Yungui, so I won’t go into it here.
"Boss Yuan's food here will definitely open your eyes. There are authentic Singaporean delicacies. Mr. Qiao can try it later." Jiang Changxi added.
Boss Yuan? Qiao Hongtao thought it sounded familiar, maybe he had heard of it, but he didn't think about it and didn't care. Instead, he was more interested in the authentic Singaporean food Jiang Changxi said.
