Chapter 553 It's a Little Difficult

Ran Xinming immediately frowned and became embarrassed when he heard that he was asking for a lot of money to teach cooking.

It is no problem for state and collective units to accept the cooperation of capitalists and get paid.

As for individuals, in fact, as long as they are approved, there is no problem.

The trouble lies in this heavy money.

Based on the personal income in the mainland at this time, 1,000 is a lot of money, but this 1,000 US dollars is for Henry Lee, who is worth one billion pounds.

It's like a drop in the bucket.

Of course there are legitimate and legal reasons to obtain foreign exchange, and no one would be foolish not to want it.

But if the lion opens its mouth, it will appear too unfriendly.

In addition to this unknown amount of US dollars, if it is exchanged into RMB for Tan Cai's master chef, even if it is 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, it will break everyone's salary standard.

Once people move their minds, it will be troublesome.

But it is also unlikely to refuse directly.

After all, learning how to cook is not a secret, and there are 8 major cuisines in the whole Tianchao, several kinds of private cuisines, and even each cuisine has several regional inheritances.

There are such a large number of practitioners, and China is not completely without foreign exchanges. Just to introduce a full set of equipment capable of producing Dacron fabrics, it is not only negotiating with island countries, but also with the United States.

In the absence of foreign exchange, there will definitely be people in the local area who are willing to teach Ruan Mei in the name of food exchanges, and at the same time use exporting their own strong products as a cover to earn foreign exchange in a different way and name.

Thinking of this, Ran Xinming immediately felt that the higher-ups would definitely come up with reasonable reasons to facilitate this.

As for Tan Cai's chef, it would be a big deal to increase his title and salary. In terms of the salary of a special chef, he would just need some more benefits every month.

"It's not a big problem just to exchange culinary skills. However, the matter of apprenticeship and learning skills involves the issue of inheritance after all."

Ran Xinming continued without saying anything, "So we will actively coordinate this matter. As for whether it will be successful, it depends on the masters themselves, and whether Comrade Ruan Mei can get the approval of the masters."

Li Changheng has heard too much about this kind of Tai Chi in another world, and he added with a smile.

"If conditions permit, we also hope to hire several master chefs from different cuisines and their teams, or apprentices who have graduated from masters to Hong Kong Island to serve as the master chefs of the "Boss Ruan" restaurant.

Even in order to express sincerity and avoid unnecessary disputes, it is no problem to buy properties in various prosperous areas of Hong Kong Island, open restaurants specializing in private kitchens, or 8 major cuisines. "

When Ran Xinming heard this, he was overjoyed.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and the food culture may seem inconspicuous, but in a place with the same origin, it can still play a big role in publicity.

Besides, as long as Hong Kong Islanders like it, there will be more opportunities to mention the mainland at the dinner table. This is an invisible kind of propaganda.

Just like the French food that people often say, it really feels good when you eat less, but once you eat more times, it’s actually the same thing.

But when it comes to French cuisine, it is basically a compliment.

When it comes to English cuisine, it is dark cuisine, and this is actually an external image.

According to the words of the future, this is the embodiment of soft power.

What's more, eating, drinking and drinking don't involve politics, not only have little scruples, but also play a subtle role.

Not to mention that the person who raised this matter was Henry Lee, and the person who studied it was Ruan Mei, a Chinese.

Even if a large number of Chinese restaurants opened in London and New York, it would be a good thing.

The simplest advantage is that there are more foreigners who like to eat Chinese food. These people will have a little bit of affection for Tianchao in their subconscious mind.

For the rabbits who do rely on the Americans to deal with the pressure of the polar bears together at this time, limited and conditional easing of the relationship is still necessary.

There are also those foreigners who open Chinese restaurants abroad, and make money from this business, the probability of being hostile to China will be much smaller.

As for the Chinese, that will not be mentioned.

But after Ran Xinming went out to find out, he frowned.

It is no problem to teach Ruan Mei, but it is quite difficult to spread the Tan family cuisine.

A big difference from other dishes is that Tan cuisine is a second-best family feast in the late Qing Dynasty, which is often called official cuisine.

After absorbing the advantages of Cantonese cuisine and Beijing cuisine, the taste of Qin cuisine is suitable for the north and the south, and with such a big name, the taste is definitely needless to say.

But because of his ruthless cutting, good at shark's fin, bird's nest, and delicacies from mountains and seas, it is decided that Qin cuisine is not something that ordinary people can eat since it appeared.

Since the customer base is small and the food raw materials are expensive, in this special era, if you want to charge more apprentices, you don't have that much money to train them.

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. A good chef doesn't have the ingredients to practice, let alone a master, and he doesn't even have the opportunity to practice.

Just like He Yuzhu and his father He Daqing, the craftsmanship is indeed there, but the opportunity to eat braised pork and chicken soup every meal is rare.

How do you accept apprentices?

Even if he takes an apprentice, there is no way to teach him how to cook Tan dishes.

If it wasn't for the opportunity to enter Beijing Restaurant, Qin Cai might be the same as Duan's, Wang's, and Ren's dishes, and even the inheritance would be broken.

In this case, for the sake of Ran Xinming and Foreign Affairs Shan Wen, the master teacher taught Ruan Mei that it would not be a big problem.

As for being able to apprentice, it was nothing more than finding a middleman with status, plus generous gifts and sincerity, but the first time I failed to do so.

Ruan Mei can always learn the cooking skills a few times.

But it is not so easy to find a master of Qin Cai to go to Hong Kong Island.

Li Changheng looks down on apprentices who have not been taught.

In case there are really masters who have graduated, they are at least 30 or 40 years old.

He held a golden rice bowl at Beijing Hotel, and got married and started a business.

There are old and young, and it's really not that easy to go to a strange city just for money.

Adding good dishes is not just a master chef alone, it can be done.

Red dishes made of fish, meat and eggs.

White table made of rice, noodles, snacks, etc.

Add cold meat, and not too important chopping board, lotus, etc., it is a team.

If you want to be authentic, it is definitely okay to spend time cultivating it, but Li Changheng has overlooked a problem, that is, not everyone in this era is willing to go to the capital world.

Not to mention that the income of these masters with real craftsmanship is much better than others, so there is really no need to drag their families and leave their hometown.

And if the wife, children, and the elderly are not taken away, a very realistic and helpless problem is.

In the minds of people in this day and age, it is enough to have enough money to marry a son to a daughter-in-law, and it is not beautiful to have too much.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that He Yuzhu, an old bachelor, would leave his hometown and go to Hong Kong Island for his son and his wife who almost got married.

Moreover, Sha Zhu's apprentice named Ma Hua, who has always been loyal, is not married yet.

The master and apprentice walked together, thinking of taking care of each other, the probability of leaving was higher.

If it doesn't work, He Yuzhu's father, He Daqing, will definitely be attracted by money.
