The head of the company stood at the entrance of the banquet hall and shook hands cordially with every guest who arrived.
"Thank you for coming and I hope you have a good time tonight," said the person in charge.
As the guests took their seats, the banquet officially began.
Exquisite dishes were served on the table, filling the air with aroma.
“Wow, this dish looks so delicious!” exclaimed a guest.
"Try it, it must taste good." said the guest next to him.
"Mm, the taste is excellent, Wang's All-Season Restaurant is indeed worthy of its reputation!"
The head of the company tasted the dish and said to Wang Jianye with satisfaction: "Boss Wang, this banquet is all thanks to Wang's All-Series Restaurant. The dishes are so outstanding! We will look for you when we have activities in the future!"
Wang Jianye showed a pleased smile on his face and said, "It is an honor for all our Wang's hotels to receive your recognition."
At this time, Wang Jianye was standing at the kitchen door, looking at the satisfied expressions of the guests in the banquet hall from afar, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
"Finally succeeded." Wang Jianye said to himself.
After the banquet, the guests left one after another, praising the food and services of all Wang's restaurants.
Afterwards, Wang Jianye convened a special commendation meeting.
"Everyone deserves credit for the smooth running of this banquet. Especially when faced with the crisis of food shortage, we did not back down or give up, and ultimately successfully solved the problem. This is the result of our team's joint efforts!" Wang Jianye said excitedly.
Chen Xiaoyang smiled and said, "Master, this was really thrilling. Fortunately, you are here."
Ma Hua also said: "Yes, Master, your persistence and hard work set an example for us."
After this incident, all Wang's restaurants have gained a firm foothold in the high-end catering market and their reputation has become even more resounding.
……
After Wang's full range of hotels successfully resolved the crisis of the previous banquet and firmly established itself in the high-end catering market in Beijing, its reputation became more and more splendid and dazzling like the flowers in spring.
The lobby of Wang's full range of hotels is filled with the faint scent of tea and people's laughter.
Wang Jianye was having a cordial conversation with several old customers when the phone rang urgently.
"Hello, how are you? Is this Mr. Wang from Wang's All-Round Restaurant?" A serious and solemn voice came from the other end of the line.
Wang Jianye was slightly stunned, then responded: "I am Wang Jianye, may I ask who you are?"
"Hello, Boss Wang. We are the department responsible for receiving foreign delegations. We have heard of the reputation of Wang's All-inclusive Hotel for a long time. This time we would like to invite Wang's All-inclusive Hotel to host a very important banquet."
Wang Jianye's heart suddenly tightened. He knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but at the same time he also felt a heavy pressure.
He took a deep breath and replied calmly: "Hello, it is a great honor for our Wang's Hotel to serve foreign delegations..."
"..."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Jianye immediately gathered his core team, including Chen Xiaoyang, Ma Hua and several experienced chefs, and came to the conference room of Wang's full-line hotels.
The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn and full of expectation. Wang Jianye looked at everyone with a firm gaze and said, "We at Wang's All Series Hotel have received an extremely important task to host a banquet for a foreign delegation. This is not only a test of our cooking skills, but also a major challenge to the reputation of Wang's All Series Hotel."
Chen Xiaoyang frowned and said first: "Master, this is a big job, and it requires combining Chinese and Western flavors to create new dishes, which is not easy."
Ma Hua also echoed: "Yes, Master, the tastes of China and the West are so different that it is not easy to integrate and innovate."
Wang Jianye put his hands on the table, looking serious: "I know this is difficult, but this is also a great opportunity for all our Wang's hotels to go international. We can't back down, we must go all out!"
Everyone nodded, fighting spirit burning in their eyes.
The kitchens of all Wang's restaurants are brightly lit day and night.
Wang Jianye and the chefs sat together with various ingredients and seasonings in front of them.
"I think we can add some Western spices, such as rosemary and basil, to traditional Chinese dishes to increase the unique flavor." A young chef boldly suggested.
"No, this might destroy the original flavor of the dish. Our Chinese cuisine emphasizes the original flavor and cannot be added casually." An experienced old chef immediately retorted.
Wang Jianye listened carefully to everyone's opinions, nodding from time to time, and pondering from time to time.
"Let's try a few solutions first and see the effects. Don't be afraid of failure. Only by continuous attempts can we find the best combination." Wang Jianye finally made the decision.
The experimental process was full of twists and turns and hardships.
One day, late at night, the moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool light.
In the kitchen, everyone is still busy preparing a new dish.
"Come, try this 'Chinese and Western Fusion Braised Pork'." The chef in charge of this dish said with anticipation.
Wang Jianye picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. In an instant, his face turned gloomy.
"How can this be done! It's too greasy, and the taste of the Western seasoning is too strong, completely covering up the original flavor of the braised pork." Wang Jianye put down his chopsticks and spoke sternly.
The chef in charge looked guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Boss Wang, I didn't think it through. Let's make adjustments."
Wang Jianye patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Don't be discouraged, let's keep working hard."
In the face of countless failures and setbacks, no one was discouraged.
Wang Jianye devoted himself to the research and development. He often stayed alone in his study, reading a large amount of information and studying the characteristics and essence of Western food culture.
"We can't simply superimpose Chinese and Western elements. We have to find their points of convergence and make the two blend perfectly. Just like the chords in music, they must be unique and yet resonate harmoniously," said Wang Jianye during a team discussion.
After a long period of exploration and experimentation, several innovative dishes finally took shape.
"This 'Chinese and Western Roast Duck' retains the crispy skin and tender meat of the roast duck, and is paired with a special Western sauce. It has a rich taste and distinct layers," Wang Jianye introduced to everyone.
Chen Xiaoyang took a bite and his eyes lit up: "Master, this tastes great! It has the richness of roast duck and the freshness of Western sauces."
Ma Hua also nodded in praise: "Yes, I think this dish has the potential to become our signature dish."
"There is also this dish called 'Hibiscus Cheese Shrimp Balls', which uses Chinese cooking techniques to process fresh shrimps and then blends them with Western cheese. It tastes delicious and leaves you with an endless aftertaste." Wang Jianye continued. (End of this chapter)
