Chapter 177
Chapter 177: Boom
After the intimate contact between Gu Bai and Jun Molin, the relationship between the two went further.
Usually, Gu Bai had the habit of video chatting with Lord Grim every day. Now that Lord Grim is teaching at Imperial University, it is more convenient for the two to meet.
Everyday video chats turned into everyday appointments, and occasionally Gu Bai would stay in the teachers' dormitory.
The performance of the Blue Star Mall is also booming. No matter how many items are replenished each time, it will be quickly emptied. Fans who have not grabbed them will go to Gu Bai's Xingbo and the official blog of the mall to cry loudly. If you don't let him buy it, it won't stop.
Gu Bai can be said to be a double harvest in love and career now, let alone a happy life.
The people of the empire have also been quite excited recently. The launch of the Blue Star Mall has opened a new world door in front of them.
They have only heard of natural food before, but they have never eaten it. After all, natural ingredients are expensive in reality, and ordinary families can't afford them.
Even if you have the money to buy one or two things occasionally, you won't be able to do it yourself.
Under normal circumstances, they will not go to the restaurant to try, at most, they will have fun in the restaurant of the second world.
But the second world can only eat the taste, but can't swallow it, which is completely different from the feeling of swallowing it in the stomach in reality.
Therefore, the emergence of Blue Star Mall and the emergence of semi-finished natural food products have rescued ordinary people who want to try natural food, but do not have much money to spend.
The semi-finished product itself has already completed the most difficult production steps. You only need to simply cook according to the remaining steps to enjoy delicious food.
This way, you won't waste money buying ingredients just because you don't know how to cook.
Second, the prices of the products in the Bluestar Mall are simply too conscientious. Even ordinary families can save money for purchases by saving a little.
Thirdly, even a kitchen novice can make delicious food. No matter how bad it is, steam rice and mix it with bibimbap sauce, and girls can cook two big bowls.
How can such a mall not be sought after, and how not to become popular.
The emergence of the Blue Star Mall directly affected the performance of the major restaurants, as well as the interests of other malls. If it weren't for the fact that the Blue Star Mall had very few items on the shelves each time, they would never have allowed this mall to continue to exist.
However, even so, there are still many forces behind the mall that are staring at the Blue Star Mall, and once the timing is right, they will give it a fatal blow.
It's a pity that these forces don't know that the Blue Star Mall is backed by the Tang family and the Jun family. If they want to start, they have to weigh their own weight, whether they are enough to withstand the counterattack of the two big families.
With the increasing speed and quantity of goods in Bluestar Mall, Central Star has set off a craze of "cooking by yourself". Many customers who have purchased semi-finished products have sent their own finished products to On Xingbo, sharing (hyun) with other people (yao), attracts more people's greed and follow suit.
The first batch of workers had already completed the training, and they were able to complete the process work of the production line independently without Gu Bai's guidance.
This batch of workers re-signed the labor contract, improved their welfare, and stipulated that they must work on the M95 planet for three years. After three years, if they want to be transferred back to the central star, they can apply.
Most of the people who were sent to Planet M95 were young people who had not yet married and were ready to concentrate on work and earning money. The salary offered by Gu Bai was something they could not refuse.
More than a month after the workers were sent away, the products on the M95 planetary production line were officially put into the Bluestar Mall for sale.
Compared with the similar products produced by the Central Star factory, the price is much lower. Even with the freight paid by the customer, the price is still a little lower than the products produced by the Central Star, but the time for the customer to receive the goods will be extended.
Different prices are set, firstly because the products produced by Planet M95 require expensive shipping; secondly, the lower price can attract more customers to buy the products of Planet M95; thirdly, the products of Planet M95 are produced by their own farms The cost of crops and ingredients is several times cheaper than that of Central Planet. Even if the price is not high, the profit is actually higher than that of Central Planet's products.
At first, customers were reluctant to buy products produced by M95 planet. After all, many of them heard about this planet for the first time, and the price was so cheap, everyone was worried about quality problems.
But ordinary customers don’t know that Gu Bai’s fans are too familiar with Planet M95. For the products it produces, they never doubt the quality of the products. From the moment the products are launched, they snap up their purchases. After all, the more you buy, the higher the price. Cheap.
Especially the student party, who can't make money on their own, prefers to buy things from planet M95, which is simply too cheap.
As more and more fans buy M95 Planet's products, and also post the finished products on Xingbo, they are almost identical with the products produced by Central Star, and there is no quality problem.
Those customers who chose to watch it also began to move, after all, the prices of the products produced by Planet M95 are really fragrant.
Although the express delivery may be slower, what is the big deal in terms of saving money by a day or two? They heard that the ancestors in the ancient earth period shopped online, and the express delivery took at least two or three days to arrive. goods.
After M95 Planet's products were launched, the craze for cooking by themselves became even more intense. More and more people began to try to cook and eat by themselves, and the popularity of food anchors was also boosted, especially the popularity of Gu Bai's live broadcast room. Explosion, every time the live broadcast, the number of online fans is close to that of the first-line stars.
The wave has also swept through the Chefs Association.
At this moment, the top executives of the Chefs Association are having a meeting. For some reason, they started arguing. Several old men were red-faced because of the contention. How could they still look calm and steady.
Chef Zhou Xing stood up and said, "I recommend Gu Bai."
"No, he's too young and doesn't have enough experience, how can he hold the big scene?" Elder Bai objected for the first time.
Chef Zhou Xing rolled his eyes at him and said unceremoniously: "How old is the Shen Liangxu you recommended, and if it is compared to cooking skills, Shen Liangxu is completely inferior to Gu Bai, if Gu Bai can't, then Shen Liangxu is even less qualified. ."
"Shen Liangxu is my apprentice, I have a recommendation quota, I will push the quota to him, what's wrong with that?" Bai Lao replied angrily.
"Then I'll give my quota to Gu Bai, what can't I do?" Zhou Xingchu didn't give in at all.
Originally, he was very optimistic about Gu Bai. Although the five-star chef certificate examination failed, everyone knew that he had the potential to be a five-star chef. As long as he was given enough time to grow, he would definitely make him. The whole empire is amazing.
He had always had a hunch before that the revival of the food culture that the empire had been unable to promote would likely bring new opportunities due to the appearance of Gu Bai.
Facts have now proved that his hunch is still very accurate. The launch of the Blue Star Mall and the rise of the cooking craze among the imperial masses are all precursors to the recovery of the food culture?
At this time, they should protect this flame of revival rather than suppress it.
Bai Lao: "He doesn't even have a one-star chef certificate, what qualifications does he have to participate?"
Speaking of this, Chef Zhou Xing has more to say.
"What is the reason why he doesn't have a one-star chef certificate? Others don't know, don't you know? What kind of level he has achieved, we have all witnessed it with our own eyes. Just because there is no such certificate book, we must deny it. His achievements?" Zhou Xingchu was about to explode with anger.
He had always liked Gu Bai, but after the chef's assessment, he liked it even more. Now that he saw the launch of the Blue Star Mall, he thought about ordinary people and contributed to the promotion of food culture, and he liked it even more. Incredible, he is more liked than his own juniors.
It's a pity that the other party has nothing to teach him in terms of cooking skills or the number and breadth of familiar recipes, otherwise he will definitely accept people as apprentices.
Even though Zhou Xingchu's grandson is the same age as Gu Bai, but now he treats Gu Bai on an equal footing.
"I don't deny his achievements, but the recommendation must be given to chefs with three or more stars. He doesn't have a chef certificate. Even if he reaches five stars, it doesn't meet the rules. Are you going to break the rules for him alone?" Old Bai was holding on to this point.
"I have long thought that this rule is not very good. Since you have the ability to get a four-star chef certificate, why do you have to take the test every two weeks? If you have the strength to take the test, you should take the test directly. A second late is a waste of time. , it is even more unreasonable to cancel all the chef's certificates if the test fails, and the rule that no re-assessment within half a year is allowed, I propose to amend this rule." Zhou Xingchu said directly, and the other elders in the conference room suddenly looked at him in shock.
Others probably did not expect that Zhou Xingchu would make such a request at this time.
President Yang Xun sat in the first place, did not speak, frowned, and lost his usual image of an old urchin.
The argument between Zhou Xingchu and Bai Lao continued, and neither could convince the other. In the end, both of them looked at President Yang Xun, hoping that he could make a final decision.
"Do you think Gu Bai can be recommended?" Yang Xun did not answer Zhou Xingchu and Elder Bai, but looked at the other two elders.
In all fairness, with Gu Bai's strength, he is fully qualified to be recommended.
Although he did not meet the regulations, the regulations were dead, but people were alive. They all saw Gu Bai's contribution during this time.
Before they became the elders of the Chefs Association, they were still chefs, a chef who loves cooking and hopes to promote cooking and diet to the whole people.
For this alone, they admired Gu Bai very much.
Zheng Lao: "If you can stand outside the rules, I agree."
Du Lao also followed suit: "I also agree, although Gu Bai does not have a chef certificate, but his strength is indeed the first among the younger generation, this time we are going to entertain people from other countries, they will not Looking at how many certificates the chef has obtained and how many honors he usually has, they will only look at the level of this banquet, and Gu Bai's cooking skills are completely sufficient."
Hearing this, Chef Zhou Xing breathed a sigh of relief. With the approval of two colleagues, the matter was basically settled. Even if Elder Bai objected again, it would be useless.
Sure enough, although Old Bai was unwilling, he didn't say anything.
