Yang Xiaoxi was at Feng Ruoruo's house, eating the wontons that Feng's father made specially for her, as well as pot stickers from Uncle Xiaolin's house next door, and happily playing with Feng Ruoruo.
Li Feier, who was originally going to Fujing Building for an on-site interview for the audition registration, received a call from the station asking her to rush back to the station for a meeting.
Li Feier had no choice but to let other members of the program crew stay to film and interview, and she rushed back to the TV station.
When the TV station leader saw Li Feier coming back, he took her to a small conference room.
When Li Feier pushed the door open, she was somewhat surprised to find that there were already quite a few people sitting in the small conference room.
With a quick glance, Li Feier quickly determined that there were about three groups of people present.
One is headed by Jiang Zhongjian, who are from the Catering Association.
One is represented by Su Lanxin’s secretary.
The rest are several leaders of the TV station.
Seeing Li Feier coming in, a deputy director of the TV station said, "Li Feier, you should know these people from the catering association. This is the representative of Lanxin Catering Group, Ms. Mei."
The deputy director introduced Li Fei'er: "Li Fei'er, the program that Fei Chang witnessed was hosted by her."
Su Lanxin's secretary Xiaomei stood up, smiled and shook hands with Li Feier.
"Ms. Li Fei'er, we have met before, and your Fei Chang Witness program, which takes our city's changes as its theme, is really a great program."
Li Feier smiled and shook hands with the other party: "Thank you, it's actually not as good as you said."
Secretary Su Lanxin then introduced herself formally: "My name is Mei Ru, you must know me, I am not actually a senior executive of the company, I am just the secretary of our General Manager Su.
This time I am here on behalf of Mr. Su, and I want to discuss with Ms. Li about the report on the cooking competition at Fujing Building."
This was the first time that Li Feier knew the other person's name. When they met in Su's company before, Su Lanxin's secretary had always been very low-key and she had almost no chance to introduce herself.
After hearing the purpose of the visit, Li Feier smiled and said, "Actually, you guys don't have to come. I will also go to report on the cooking competition you are holding."
Before the other party could speak, Li Feier added: "Besides, the slogan you proposed, 'You cook the Chinese food you want', is really great and attractive."
Meiru smiled and responded, "We decided on this slogan after much discussion. Since the theme of the competition is the dishes on the Chinese menu, the fixed dishes may taste different to different people.
Moreover, among the people, many non-professional chefs may present some different dishes based on the cooking methods passed down from generation to generation in their families.
That’s why we launched this theme, so that everyone can boldly show off their own cooking skills and how to make their own dishes.”
Li Feier also admired the creative theme of the competition launched by Su Lanxin's company.
Because it is linked to the Chinese cuisine menu, the dishes made in the competition are fixed.
The fixed menu is bound to bring a problem. That is, it is impossible to come up with new ideas for the fixed menu, resulting in a lack of highlights in the competition.
However, Su Lanxin's company came up with the idea of conducting a large number of auditions with a fixed menu.
Non-professional chefs are allowed to sign up and show how to cook their own dishes.
For example, the most famous dish in the country is braised pork. Every place has a unique cooking method, and the cooking method of each household may be different.
Now Su Lanxin’s company gives everyone the opportunity to showcase their own braised pork.
Another example is the lion’s head dish, which is quite representative in Jiangsu Province. This dish may not seem easy to make, but in fact some families also make it at home. So what does the home-made lion’s head dish look like
So after Su Lanxin's company launched such a plan, the game suddenly became full of highlights.
Li Feier listened to Mei Ru's description of the audition process in the next period of time.
She suddenly thought of a question: "I have a question. It seems that the Chinese food menu has not been finalized yet? So what dishes will you use in your cooking competition?"
Hearing this question, Jiang Zhongjian said: "As for the menu, the Provincial Catering Association is currently collecting ideas from across the province, and will eventually determine a menu that represents our Jiangsu Province.
As for our Huaicheng cooking competition this time, since it is only a small-scale competition in Huaicheng, the dishes we have tentatively decided to serve are some of Huaicheng’s most representative dishes.”
Li Feier immediately asked: "Can you tell me what dishes there are?"
Jiang Zhongjian did not hesitate and answered directly: "We in Huaicheng mainly cook eels, so we mainly have two eel dishes. The simpler one is the braised Ma'anqiao, and the more professional one is the stir-fried soft pocket."
Li Feier was a little surprised: "Are there only these two dishes?"
Jiang Zhongjian immediately said: "The theme of the competition is eel cooking. These two dishes are the main dishes. Participants can also cook some unique methods of their own."
After hearing this, Li Feier decided that this approach was indeed in line with the local characteristics of Huaicheng.
Huaicheng is indeed famous for cooking eels, and perhaps every household has their own unique way of cooking eels.
It is indeed a very good idea to allow the participating folk masters to freely express themselves based on the two most representative cooking methods of Huaicheng eels.
Li Feier nodded and said, "Well, this method is indeed very good and has the characteristics of our Huaicheng."
Then, Li Feier said, "It seems that the auditions have already started today, right?"
Meiru nodded: "Yes, today is the registration time for the auditions. Our registration will last for a week. Next weekend, we will have the first official audition cooking competition."
Li Feier was a little surprised when she heard this: "A week for registration? And then there will be auditions on the weekend? Wouldn't that mean there will be a lot of people competing at the same time?"
Mei Ru nodded again: "Yes, we have made arrangements for this, and we can definitely ensure that the competition will go smoothly."
Li Feier still believes in the strength of Su Lanxin's company.
"So you came here today because you want us, Fei Chang, to report on the scene as witnesses, right?"
Mei Ru took out a plan, handed it to Li Feier to look at, and gave Li Feier a general explanation.
“We hope that the Philippine News Agency can help us do a few programs, first of all, we will promote it this weekend and record the scene of the audition registration.
In the next week, I hope that Fei Changzheng can introduce some Huaicheng characteristics, and mainly promote several special eel cooking methods in the program to increase the popularity of the competition. "
After listening to Mei Ru's words, Li Feier looked through the plan in her hand again.
It must be admitted that the plan that Mei Ru came up with was indeed very detailed. She even almost wrote out what would be broadcast in each episode.
Li Feier saw a complete set of plans, especially the introduction to the cooking characteristics of eel in Huaicheng.
Almost instantly, she thought of Feng Yifan.
Li Feier felt that if Feng Yifan could be invited to help cook eels and introduce some common cooking methods for eels, the program would be more effective.
However, Li Feier was very clear that Su Ji, where Feng Yifan worked, seemed to have some problems with the company behind Mei Ru.
So in this case, it seems that if she goes to Feng Yifan to do a show, will it make him angry
Thinking of this, Li Feier smiled and asked: "Ms. Mei, I would like to ask, I agree with the common cooking methods of eels that you designed, and I also think it is appropriate to introduce the origin of eels and Huaicheng.
But I would like to ask, can I find some professional chefs to shoot some cooking videos? "
Mei Ru thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. In fact, Fujinglou can also provide chefs to make professional dishes. Ms. Li can contact Fujinglou."
Li Feier nodded: "Oh, okay, okay, can we do this? Compare the chefs of Fujinglou with some other chefs or masters of some folk families?"
Meiru pondered for a moment and then felt that this method seemed to be a good one.
"Well, as for the program, it must be decided by you, Ms. Li. After all, we have to ensure the effect of the program. We just hope to increase the popularity of the competition and promote Huaicheng's food."
Li Feier immediately said, "That's for sure. I've decided to call our show 'Chinese Cuisine: Huaicheng Taste'. What do you think?"
It has to be said that the theme proposed by Li Feier was immediately approved by everyone present, including Mei Ru.
Jiang Zhongjian even said to the station's leaders: "Great! You are indeed worthy of being the producer of your station's flagship program. This theme is really great."
When the leaders of the TV station heard this, they all laughed happily.
Li Feier finally said, "Since this is the case, the theme has been determined. Next, we will follow your plan, Ms. Mei. I will make some minor modifications to customize our program for the next week. Is that okay with you?"
When Mei Ru heard this, she naturally agreed immediately: "Okay, it's really hard work, Ms. Li."
Li Feier smiled and said: "It is actually my honor. Our Feichang Witness program is mainly about this, to witness the changes in our city.
This is such a big event, so we, the Philippine witnesses, will naturally have to do a few episodes of the show."
The leader of the station naturally expressed his opinion immediately: "Okay, Li Feier, your program department should go ahead and do it boldly. Our station will definitely fully support you and give you all the personnel and funds."
Li Feier smiled and said to the leaders: "Dear leaders, I have been talking for a long time, just waiting for you to say this."
Suddenly there was laughter in the conference room, and everyone was very satisfied with the result.
After the meeting, Mei Ru specifically found Li Feier and talked privately about some details about the program production.
For most of the questions, Li Feier respected the opinions given by Mei Ru and others, after all, they were the sponsors.
The demands of the big financial sponsor must naturally be met.
When Mei Ru was talking about the latter part, she suddenly remembered something and asked Li Fei'er in a low voice: "Ms. Li, when your program introduces eel cooking, will you ask Su Ji to be on the show?"
Li Feier was stunned for a moment, then looked at Mei Ru and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong? Or do you not want me to go find Feng Yifan?"
Mei Ru hesitated for a moment, but still spoke up: "You should know the relationship between our company's boss and Su Ji, right? So we really don't want Su Ji to participate in the show."
Li Feier thought about it and said with a smile: "I think letting Feng Yifan on the show is actually beneficial to you. It can support the more professional cooking methods of your Fujinglou."
Mei Ru was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Li Fei'er to say that.
Li Feier saw Mei Ru standing there in a daze, and then asked, "Could it be that the chef at Fujinglou is not as good as Chef Feng?"
Mei Ru quickly said, "That's definitely not the case. After we took over Fujinglou, we hired our own chefs, and their cooking skills are absolutely authentic."
Li Feier nodded: "Well, I have heard about this too. Fujinglou has a very good reputation in our local area. Many people say that the dishes in Fujinglou are getting better and better, and they are very authentic."
After praising them, Li Feier asked again: "Since you are confident, what are you worried about? On our show, we will definitely not only show Chef Feng's cooking, but also the cooking process of your Fujinglou chefs. It just happens that the two sides can be compared so that everyone can understand the cooking method more clearly."
After listening to what Li Feier said, Mei Ru couldn't find any reason to refute for a moment.
And it seems that from what Li Feier said, she is always thinking about Fujinglou.
Faced with such a statement, Mei Ru felt that if she refused, it would be tantamount to admitting that Fujinglou's chef level was not as good as Feng Yifan's.
This will be bad for the reputation of Fujing Building.
After thinking about it seriously, Mei Ru could only nod and agree: "Well, it seems to be right when you put it that way, then let's follow your plan, Ms. Li."
Li Feier smiled and nodded: "Okay, please rest assured, our Feichang will definitely do a good job on the program."
Meiru continued, "By the way, the audition registration is going on today. Do you want to go over and film an interview?"
Li Feier immediately replied: "Don't worry about this. I had already taken people to interview in the morning. Although I have been called back now, my team is still there filming and interviewing on the spot."
Mei Ru smiled and nodded: "Li Fei'er, you are worthy of being able to make Fei Chang's testimony the main program of the TV station. You really grasp these real things very well."
Li Feier waved her hands: "It's not as amazing as you say. It's just a task assigned to us by the TV station."
Mei Ru chatted with Li Fei'er for a while, and after finalizing some details, Mei Ru said goodbye and left the TV station.
Li Feier watched Mei Ru leave and couldn't help but mutter, "You guys brought this upon yourself, you can't blame me. This time I can use your momentum to promote Su Ji a little more."
