Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

"Hey"

"Boss, it's me, Cai Lan."

"Press, what's the matter?" Yang Chen pointed to the teapot, motioning for Lan Meiren to make a pot of tea for him.

"Boss, the next issue of our food column is going to be filmed in London, so, so I think"

Seeing that Cai Lan was hesitating, Yang Chen couldn't get to the point for a long time, so he was speechless and said, "If you have something to say, don't be hesitant, Ah Zhen just called me."

Hearing that Boss Yang was getting impatient, Cai Lan didn't talk nonsense, and directly stated his purpose.

Since Asia TV launched the food program, Chua Lam's food programs can be said to have spread all over Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and even Southeast Asia, including some Asian countries such as South Korea, have attracted widespread attention.

These days, programs like this are very eye-catching, especially after the end of World War II and the recovery of the global economy, making the people at the bottom want to know about other countries besides their own.

In order to further expand the attention of the gourmet show, Cai Lan immediately set his mind on Yang Chen. For this reason, he even fooled Li Lizhen who had just finished filming the TV series, and wanted to use Li Lizhen's face to let Yang Chen show up on the show. Face.

Yang Chen listened to Cai Lan's nagging for a long time, and finally understood the other party's purpose. After thinking about it, he took a sip of the tea made by Lan Meiren, without too much hesitation.

"Okay, I promise."

"Press?" On the other end of the phone, Cai Lan was a little confused. Boss Yang agreed so readily, which made him a little unbelievable. He looked at Li Lizhen and Guan Zhilin in front of him, and asked carefully into the phone: "Boss, boss , What did you say? Can you say it again? I just had a bad signal. "

"The signal is not good, you m!" Yang Chen rolled his eyes, and repeated: I said, I agreed, I have a manor in England, when the time comes, you can just come here, cook or something, I will let someone arrange good. "

"Okay, okay, thank you boss, let's fly over right away."

After being confirmed, Cai Lan was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly. He didn't put down the microphone until he heard the sound of the phone hanging up on the other end.

Li Lizhen blinked her eyes, looked expectantly, and asked, "Mr. Cai, did brother agree?"

"I agree, I agree, thank you, Miss Li, if it weren't for you this time, the boss would definitely not agree."

Cai Lan looked at Li Lizhen in front of him, and secretly nodded his praise for his wise decision.

Originally, he thought he would waste his tongue, but he thought that Boss Yang didn't even think about it, so he agreed directly.

He knew that Boss Yang's willingness to agree was definitely not because ATV was an industry under him. Compared with the other party's net worth, the current ATV TV is completely incomparable.

Of course, it's impossible for the other party to be because of Cai Lan's face. If one year ago, Yang Chen's net worth was not as rich as the richest man in the Chinese, his face was still of some use.

Now, Xiangjiang can let Boss Yang give face, except for people at the level of the top ten richest people, what qualifications do others have to let the other party give face?Stop boring yourself.

Of course, people like Li Lizhen don't count.

It has been the case since ancient times that heroes are sad about beauty pass.

In the entire ATV, who doesn't know that our boss Yang treats Li Lizhen as a younger sister, and even Chen Yulian loves her, not to mention Huang Xizhao and other ATV executives, who simply treat her like a little ancestor.

As a member of Asia Television, Cai Lan dared to try it because he saw the relationship between Li Lizhen and Boss Yang.

As Yang Chen's net worth skyrocketed, Li Lizhen gained more resources on Asia TV. Under normal circumstances, Li Lizhen's roles were basically arranged directly by Chen Yulian and Huang Xizhao.

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Lizhen enjoys the most resources besides Chen Yulian in the entire Asian TV station. As long as she wants a role, it is basically settled, even Huang Xizhao, the general manager, will not easily deny it.

And the reason why Li Lizhen agreed to Cai Lan to be the host of this food show this time is mainly because she wanted to go to London to find Boss Yang.

During this period of time, Yang Chen ran around the world and spent very little time in Xiangjiang. In addition, Li Lizhen also had scenes to film on weekdays. This year has passed half a year. Except for the New Year, the two met each other. At other times, Li Lizhen and Yang Chen's shadow None of them came across.

Ever since, under Cai Lan's flickering, Li Lizhen directly pushed the next show, and planned to play a guest role as the host of a gourmet show.

Not to mention that Cai Lan was happy because Yang Chen agreed to record a food show, on the other side Yang Chen found the old housekeeper, Uncle Xiang, after hanging up the phone.

Yang Chen, who has no interest in western food, really doesn't know what kind of food there is in the UK.

In later generations, he only watched one Tucao show, which talked about the dark cuisine of various countries in the world. Among them, the country that received the most black comments was the United Kingdom.

Uncle Xiang has been in the UK for 20 years, so he is naturally aware of the daily eating habits of the British. He heard that the TV station under Yang Chen is coming to the UK to record food programs.

Uncle Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "Sir, the daily eating habits in the UK are very simple. When it comes to this food, for the British, French fries, fried fish and potatoes are the favorites of most British people in their daily life. food to eat."

After speaking, Uncle Xiang paused for a moment, and continued: "Actually, for us Chinese, the food of the British is, oh, no, no, it should not be considered food for the people of most countries."

"The main reason for this is that the food culture of the British is too simple, and the food they eat is also simple. Many foods are not considered delicacies at all. At best, they can only fill the stomach."

"Sir, if you want to record a program to attract attention, I suggest that you might as well record an episode of the most unpalatable and unacceptable food. I think it will attract more attention."

After hearing Uncle Xiang's words, Yang Chen was taken aback for a moment, and then he was a little confused. He never expected that the eating habits of the British people would be so unpopular with the old housekeeper, Uncle Xiang.

For a while, curiosity arose.

Seeing this, Uncle Xiang introduced the British food culture to Boss Yang. As a housekeeper, Uncle Xiang knew a lot, not necessarily less than those elites in the upper class.

Especially for someone like Uncle Xiang who lives in a wealthy family and works as a housekeeper all year round, he needs to know more things.

If it was the very beginning, Uncle Xiang would definitely not have made such a suggestion. At most, he would just arrange the things that Yang Chen ordered.

However, ever since Yang Chen entrusted him with the management of the manor's affairs, and didn't intervene in the middle, Uncle Xiang gradually became more attentive.

After Uncle Xiang's explanation, Yang Chen finally understood why the other party made such a suggestion.

To say that the British, as the leaders of the first industrial revolution, were once the empire on which the sun never sets, they have always been in a leading position in the world in many aspects.

London is an international metropolis, where people can eat almost all the food in the world.

However, as part of British culture, British food is unanimously rejected food.

Even the British themselves dislike the food of their own country. If many people have to choose, then French food and Italian food are the first choice.

What is the reason for all this?

This point must be well said.

The British Empire, as an empire that once ruled half of the earth and lasted for more than a century, can find all the rare things on earth in their museums.

As for ingredients, from east to west, from north to south, in all regions of the world, there seems to be nothing that the British cannot get.

But that's it, the British food culture is unbearable to look at.

With such doubts in mind, we have to look over the history of British food.

In the earliest days, the food culture of the British was quite good, better than most countries in Europe. As a country that monopolizes an island and is so close to the European continent, the food culture of the British was at that time, looking at the entire European continent. It's one of the best.

However, after the Industrial Revolution, the eating habits of the British people have changed a lot since then.

Everyone knows that Europe has always been full of large and small countries, and has never been completely unified, so the population of each European country is very small.

And this small population means a shortage of labor.
