Chapter 265: Private Visit
After the Rongji came out, Bai Renzong was still a little confused and continued to recite.
"Mumu and I came out of the store." Bai Renzong grabbed the camera and pointed it at him and Han Jiayi next to him, and explained to the barrage, "Let me tell you what I feel about it. What does this store feel like...a speculative feeling."
Bai Renzong paused and continued, "Why do you say that? Michelin often gives everyone the illusion that the quantity is small and the price is expensive. These two characteristics have almost become a bit prejudiced, right? It seems that Michelin is so expensive just to make money."
Barrage: "Isn't it?" "That's how it is."
"It's not," Bai Renzong replied, "The dishes in Michelin restaurants are not deliberately pursuing small amounts. They are trying to achieve a state of 'not satisfying'. They are delicious but can make you just have enough food, and they can also let you taste more varieties. And the price is not to make more money, but there is a higher labor cost."
Han Jiayi nodded and agreed: "Actually, people often think that Michelin dishes are very expensive, but their cost is also very high. Generally, Michelin dishes use the best ingredients, but also take a lot of time and manpower to prepare. You think that if the appearance is so beautiful, you must spend more time and time on the plate and prepare the shape. In fact, its profit is not high."
"Yes, people often only count the cost of the 'vegetarian food' and ignore the 'labor cost' and 'time cost'. In fact, putting aside these two things, Michelin dishes don't make much money." Bai Renzong continued, "But this store is different. It seems to pursue the Michelin style on the surface, but it is actually a fake style."
Speaking of this, Bai Renzong was a little angry: "You have also seen that their plates are not very exquisite. Cut the alkaline persimmon into six slices and put them on the plate. What's the effort? It doesn't require seasoning. You can make all the alkaline persimmons, and I still need Michelin? There is also the pot of pork dumplings, nine slices are placed in a random stack, with three and a half slices of cherry tomatoes on the side. I can make them too. What is Michelin style? It's just a Michelin style that is just a cheat!"
Barrage: "Then why can they still be named one Michelin star?"
"Do you still remember that when I first started visiting the store, I once told you about the unspoken rules of Michelin in China? Because Michelin has not been in China for a long time, they often give priority to the interior decoration and service attitude, so many restaurants will spend money on this, then cheat a Michelin star back and start cutting leeks." Bai Renzong explained: "This store is basically a typical example, so you found it? Its decoration is very beautiful."
Han Jiayi added: "And it's not just that. Michelin people don't understand Chinese food. For foreigners, this 'pseudo' Michelin style looks more international, and it's considered to be a part of their preferences. It's a bit like an exam-oriented education. They just deliberately make this style that Michelin likes, and then come back with a star rating and make money by relying on fame."
"Yes." Bai Renzong replied, "So, think about it, why did I enter this store? Because their family is the 'the only Michelin-level Shandong cuisine in the country'. When they hear 'the only', everyone will inevitably be a little curious. What they earn is the money of this type of people, and they trade it in one go."
"There are also foreign tourists." Han Jiayi said indignantly, "Because tourists from all over the world can see it after a restaurant is put on a Michelin booklet, so foreign tourists will definitely give priority to tasting it when they come to the local area. In addition, they don't understand whether these dishes are authentic or not, so they don't know if they are cheated."
"Anyway, it's the IQ tax," Bai Renzong sighed, "Then, I've paid this IQ tax for everyone. I believe there should be a recipe for whether you come or not. Their taste is OK anyway, and it's an authentic way, but I think the weight and technology are sorry for the price."
Speaking of this, Bai Renzong frowned: "Just... how to say it, even if the taste of their house is authentic, it still makes me feel very strange. Because what does Northeast cuisine generally give people the feeling? It's large in quantity and very real. Whether it's the portion or the taste is wild, you force it to turn it into a Michelin style, which is equivalent to cutting off its biggest feature. This is really a contradiction. So... no, recommend it!"
After saying that, Bai Renzong waved his hand and said, "Okay, then this is the end of the store visit. I just wanted to go and have a look on a whim. It seems that I have to ask the fans' opinions before coming. It will be broadcast first, and it may be broadcasted later. The official store visit will not start after you arrive in Dongshan City."
After the broadcast, Bai Renzong and Han Jiayi returned to the car, took a nap for a while, and continued to drive in the afternoon. This incident was just a small episode for them.
The next morning, Bai Renzong was awakened by the crackling sound above his head.
"Husband, it's so noisy outside..." Han Jiayi complained, burying her little head in the quilt.
"That's right, it's too noisy to rain, right?" Bai Renzong frowned and got up from the bed.
"It's so cold... hurry up." Han Jiayi shrank under the quilt and complained.
Bai Renzong touched Xiaogui's head who was lying beside the bed, then leaned over the window and took a look, and was shocked.
"Good guy, it's hail!" Bai Renzong said in surprise, "What's the situation!"
"I just said why can you breathe so cold?..." Han Jiayi poked out half of her little head and said.
Bai Renzong opened his mobile phone and looked at the weather forecast. He found that a cold wave hit the whole country, and many places in Dongshan Province were hit by blizzards and rainstorms and even hail, and the temperature dropped to several degrees below zero.
"This is May..." Bai Renzong frowned, and was trembling with the cold. His three legs were so cold that he slept with Xiaoguai and curled up. He looked at the thermometer. The temperature in the car was only eight degrees Celsius at this moment. Seeing this, Bai Renzong quickly drove Chainuan, and the car slowly became warmer.
"It seems that it's very difficult to drive today." Bai Renzong sighed.
But he was worried that the solar charging panel on the roof would be damaged by hail, so Bai Renzong drove the car and continued to move forward, found a tree to stop the car, preparing to wait for the hail to pass by before moving forward.
There was hail outside, and the two of them hid in the RV, driving live broadcasts, eating hot pot and drinking wine, which made them feel a different taste...
"It's the coldest day, it's the best for hot pot." Bai Renzong poured hot pot ingredients such as meatballs, fish balls, bean curd into the pot, while Han Jiayi poured a glass of grapefruit wine for them.
Barrage: "It's great, it's my favorite RV routine again!" "Wait for me to order a takeaway!" "Come on, two cups!"
Recently, Bai Renzong's live broadcast popularity on the Maowu platform has finally stabilized at about 7 million, but when broadcasting the RV in daily life, the popularity will rise to 8 million, which is already the number one player in the Maowu room.
The only other person who can compete with him is a female anchor, who is also the number one sister on the platform.
Among male anchors, no one can match Bai Renzong's popularity at present.
"Let me tell you, I may have to take a leave in June for a few days and not broadcast live." Bai Renzong explained, "Everyone knows that Cat House will hold an annual carnival in June and invite me to go over and take a show."
Barrage: "When the time comes, please help us see if Qiqi and Momo's real people are so beautiful."
"Okay, I'll take a look for you." Bai Renzong replied, then hugged Han Jiayi's shoulder, "But I tell you the truth, they are probably not as good-looking as my Mumu. When you look at my Mumu, you can see it without filters, beauty, face slimming and other special effects. This is her real appearance, other female anchors...ha."
Bai Renzong is the number one player after all, and the Maowu platform also invited him to renegotiate the contract in June, and asked him to show off at the upcoming Maowu Carnival in June.
The annual Cat House Carnival, such a large official event, is really unreasonable, so Bai Renzong agreed. Of course, he would take Han Jiayi to the scene.
Here I was broadcasting the daily routine of RVs with everyone, but Bai Renzong did not expect that Rongji's visit to the store became popular in Dongshan Province this time.
Bai Renzong's sarcasm and the strictness reflected in his visits were actually recognized by the entire network. Everyone knows his style, but this time even Han Jiayi joined, and the husband and wife were very fresh. Moreover, the professionalism reflected by the two was also very strong, one could eat and the other could do it. In a short time, the two were named "anti-counterfeiting couple".
As for Rong Ji, which was commented on by Bai Renzong, it naturally became the target of criticism.
Many locals in Dongshan Province believe that this restaurant has lost people from Northeastern cuisine.
Therefore, this live broadcast also attracted the attention of Dongshan City restaurants: Lao Bai is coming to Dongshan City.
For a moment, any local restaurant with a little fame began to prepare. The bosses repeatedly explained to the store: throw away all the not-so-good materials in the warehouse and use the freshest ones; the waiter's attitude was restrained, and no matter how excessive the customers said, they were not allowed to talk back; when they saw the photographer, no matter whether it was Lao Bai or not, they would give them a few side dishes!
The bosses' attitude is very clear: In short, before Bai Renzong left Dongshan City, he was nervous! He was not allowed to relax for a moment! No one wants to be the next "Rong Ji"!
As for Lao Bai himself, he was still driving in the car and humming songs, and he didn't realize that this visit to the store had turned into a private visit. That's right, just like the ancient emperor's private visit, it was said to be a private visit, but before leaving, local officials had already received the news.
