Chapter 741

A variety show, or even if it was a reality show, would first finish all arrangements with the filming location . In management studies, it was believed that a human could manage six other humans at most . But how could a filming crew only have six people in it? Furthermore, anything might change during filming . Therefore, all the arrangements needed to be completed beforehand .

Roll, Dear Beef had already signed the contract, the guy with the slickback being the one to finish the negotiation . About a dozen days later, he led the way and brought Tom, the logistic supervisor of the crew to check the filming location again . After all, all the lighting and cameras needed to be set up at specific locations during the filming . All these were the job of the logistics department . Therefore, they had to come here no matter what .

Tom sounded like the name of a foreigner, but he was, in fact, Chinese . His original name was Tang Dong, but he eventually changed his name . Although he was a Chinese, he went to study in America for a few years and now thought that he was a foreigner . From how he named himself, this was clear .

“Mr . Tom, it’s going to be ten thirty soon . We will take about 40 minutes to reach Taoxi Road from the airport . If we don’t move faster, we will be stuck in a long queue,” the guy with the slickback said . He addressed Tom as Mr . Tom because this was his request . personally, he preferred to call him Supervisor Tang instead .

“Even with the 40-minute trip, we can still easily reach before 11:30 am . Why are you panicking?” Tom frowned . Flying was very tiring . Therefore, he wanted to first sit down and have a cup of coffee to rest .

“Mr . Tom, since the food Yuan Zhou’s restaurant is very deli… I mean since Yuan Zhou’s restaurant has been covered in the news and the TV, there are many customers queuing every day . He wanted to say that because the food at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was very delicious . But he suddenly recalled that this Tom had always believed that Chinese cuisines never cared about nutrition, food decoration, and so on . He would always have a lot of criticism for Chinese cuisine . Simply put, Tom did not like Chinese meals and believed that French cuisine was the best .

The guy with the slickback had good EQ . He knew what to say . Although this Tom was not his direct superior, and was not even from the same department as him, he was not the type of person that would offend someone with a higher position than him just for the sake of it .

Therefore, from Yuan Zhou’s restaurant having delicious food, he switched his words into Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was popular .

“I really don’t understand how they choose their filming location . Both Wellington and Piburger are quite good . Why must they choose a Chinese restaurant? Just because the restaurant is popular?” Although Tom believed that Chinese food was not comparable to French food, he had become a supervisor with his own ability .

Today, apart from finalizing the details with the boss of the restaurant, they needed to finish the negotiations with the nearby shops as well . And on the same night, he had to fly back to the TV station . There were many things to be done and so little time . Therefore, Tom gave up on having a coffee . Of course, he did not stop complaining .

“In terms of popularity, both Wellington and Piburger have good popularity as well . I really can’t understand how the director come to this decision . “

The Wellington and Piburger mentioned by Tom were two Western food restaurants in Chengdu . Both these restaurants had gone on TV before as well, and the chefs there were French . The guy with the slickback did not respond and focused on calling for a taxi instead . Since they had to line up for an airport taxi, the guy with the slickback used his mobile phone to get a taxi instead .

After they got onto the taxi, it sped off toward Taoxi Road .

Tom was bored in the taxi and came up with a conversation topic as he asked, “Do you like steaks?”

“I’m alright with steaks . I have eaten them quite a number of times . ” Of course, the guy with the slickback did not complete his sentence . In fact, he had only ever eaten steaks in fast food restaurants when he was busy with work .

Tom shook his head and said, “Pan frying is the best method to fully display the flavor of the meat . When I studied abroad, I was lucky enough to book a seat at Mike’s restaurant . Mr . Mike himself cooked the steak, and that was the best steak I had ever had . The steak was incredibly juicy . ”

While he spoke, Tom sank into his recollection and started swallowing his saliva as he recalled the taste .

“I later found out from Mr . Mike that the beef used in his restaurant all came from Burgundy, the Charolais cattle which was one of the top four breeds of cattle in the world . This cattle’s entire body is white and the taste of its meat is one that can’t be forgotten . “

The guy with the slickback had never eaten it before . Therefore, he only listened on and nodded every now and then .

“After coming to China, I found out that apart from restaurants opened by French chefs, no other restaurants can make proper steaks here . ” Tom seemed filled with resentment, “Not to mention the quality of the beef used here, even the grasp on the timing when cooking the steak is too lacking . If there’s no good steak, fine . I tried some sauteed beef and some soybean beef as well . They have completely ruined the original flavor of the beef . I found that in Chinese cuisine, the original flavor of the ingredients are always being ruined and are extremely unhealthy on top of that . “

The guy with the slickback twitched his eyes . What did he mean by coming to China? Was he a foreigner? The guy with the slickback wanted to ask him if he had gone crazy . Thankfully, his reason told him to hold his tongue .

Around 11:20 am, they reached the intersection of Taoxi Road . Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .

“We’re here, Mr . Tom,” said the guy with the slickback as he led the way .

“This place looks quite traditional,” Tom said as he scanned the area after getting out of the taxi .

“Yeah, this is a quiet place hidden amid the bustle of the city . Mr . Tom, it is lunchtime . Should we line up and eat first before proceeding with the discussion?” the guy with the slickback tactfully asked .

“There’s quite a lot of people here . Since the boss is personally cooking, I doubt he has much free time . Let us have our lunch first,” Tom frowned when he saw that the front of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant was packed with people .

“Let us go now then . At this restaurant, everyone needs to personally wait in line,” the guy with the slickback was looking forward to eating the food here .

He had long wanted to try the food at Yuan Zhou’s restaurant . Unfortunately, the food here was truly not cheap . It would be too expensive if he paid for it himself . Now that he was eating with the logistics supervisor, things would be different as the meal could be claimed from the company .

The guy with the slickback earnestly planned to have a free meal . Soon, he would be able to taste the legendary delicious food of Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

“Don’t bother . The Western restaurant next door looks nice . Let’s go eat there . We can have a cup of coffee there as well,” Tom said when he saw a Western restaurant two shops away from Yuan Zhou’s restaurant .

That was Li Li’s restaurant .

“Oh, ok . ” The guy with the slickback froze before he nodded in agreement and headed towards the Western restaurant .

He walked like his entire body was drained of energy .

“The head chef today is Li Li? It’s him? The Western cuisine he cooked is still quite good . So he has actually opened a restaurant here . ” In a well-practiced manner, Tom started reading the introduction of the head chef .

“Well, looks like there is still some pleasure to be obtained from this miserable work trip . It’s your lucky day today . I will let you try how authentic steak tastes like,” Tom said happily .

“Thank you, Mr . Tom,” the guy with the slickback thanked with a grateful look on his face . However, he was inwardly cursing .

“Damn you, you fake foreigner . There go my delicacies…” the guy with the slickback howled in his heart .
