The scholar found a quiet corner and sat down. He gently opened the notebook in his hand and began to record everything in the store.

"What would you like to order, guests at this table?" asked the waiter with a smile.

The scholar looked up and said gently, "Give me one portion of each of your specialties."

After a while, one dish after another with delicious appearance, aroma and taste was served on the table.

The scholar picked up the chopsticks and first carefully observed the color and presentation of the dish. The dish of braised pork was bright red, like agate, and the side dishes surrounded it like jade embellishments.

He gently picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to savor it carefully. The tenderness of the meat and the richness of the sauce blended on the tip of his tongue. Surprise and admiration gradually appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This seemingly simple dish actually contains such profound cooking skills and cultural connotations.

The scholar couldn't help but ask the chef: "Master, how do you control the cooking temperature for this dish?"

The chef smiled and answered with a proud look on his face. He wiped his hands with a towel and explained in detail: "The key to this braised pork is to simmer it slowly over low heat first, so that the meat can fully absorb the aroma of the seasoning, and then use high heat to reduce the sauce. This way, it will be crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a bright red color."

The scholar then asked the waitress, "Girl, what do the guests think of this dessert?"

The waiter said earnestly: "Many customers like it very much, saying it is sweet but not greasy, and has a delicate taste."

After a period of in-depth research, scholars decided to compile the food culture of all Wang's restaurants into a book.

He worked day and night at his desk, writing without stopping, and every word he wrote was filled with his love for food and respect for culture.

On those quiet nights, the light in the scholar's study was always on. He sometimes frowned in thought, sometimes wrote furiously, as if the whole world was immersed in a sea of ​​delicious food.

The book was finally published and immediately caused a sensation in the food industry.

“I heard there’s a book that specifically introduces the food culture of all Wang’s restaurants. I’m really looking forward to it!”

"Yes, I really want to buy it and have a look."

More and more tourists come here just to taste the delicious food described in the book. Every day, there are long queues in front of all Wang's restaurants, which are very lively.

At the Fengzeyuan Hotel not far away, the owner Jiang Qinfeng learned the news and was filled with mixed emotions.

He frowned and said to his confidant Zhang Mingsheng, "Huh, Wang Jianye's restaurant is really in the spotlight. As soon as this book introducing their food culture came out, it attracted all the customers."

Zhang Mingsheng quickly agreed, "Boss, this does give them the upper hand. But we at Fengze Garden also have our own characteristics, and we can't just be outdone like this."

Jiang Qinfeng had a gloomy face and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, in Tianfu Food House, Chef Gao Qianjin also heard the news. He said to the head chef Li Hui, "This Wang's All-in-One Restaurant is not simple. It actually has a book to introduce their food culture. It seems that we have to work harder and not be left too far behind by them."

Li Hui nodded and said, "Yes, Chef Gao. This must have attracted a lot of customers. We have to find a way to improve our dishes and services to attract customers back."

In this competition in the food industry, all Wang's restaurants have become the focus of everyone's attention because of this book, and other restaurants have also felt the pressure and challenges.

Fengzeyuan Hotel is a traditional Chinese building with a solemn vermilion gate and an ancient and dignified signboard.

Walking into the store, you will see antique furniture arranged in an orderly manner, and carved screens cleverly dividing the space.

The tables and chairs are all made of solid wood, exuding the fragrance of time. The carvings on them are exquisite, and every detail demonstrates the charm of traditional craftsmanship.

At this time, Jiang Qinfeng paced back and forth in the office anxiously, frowning, and kept muttering: "Why is this Wang's full-line restaurant so popular? No, we must find a way to save the situation."

His eyes revealed a strong desire to refuse to admit defeat, like an enraged lion, ready to fight back at any time.

At the food event at Fengzeyuan Hotel, red lanterns were hung high, creating a festive atmosphere.

As the food critics arrived one after another, Jiang Qinfeng came forward with a big smile on his face and said, "Welcome everyone, today we at Fengze Garden have launched a series of new dishes, and I hope you will taste them."

After the food critics took their seats, exquisite new dishes were served, including a braised lion's head dish, which was bright red and fragrant.

One critic picked up a piece and put it in his mouth. After chewing it for a while, he frowned slightly and said slowly: "This dish has a rich flavor and the meat is firm, but it tastes a little greasy. If the seasoning can be adjusted, it may be better."

Jiang Qinfeng watched the critics' reactions nervously, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

Tianfu Shifang Restaurant's decoration style that combines modern and traditional elements is eye-catching.

The bright lights shine on the neat dining table, and the stylish tableware is neatly arranged, giving people a stylish and comfortable feeling.

There are some modern art works hanging on the walls of the store, which complement the traditional food culture.

Gao Qianjin was wearing a neat suit, his eyes revealing shrewdness and decisiveness.

He traveled around and invited celebrities to participate in food events.

When talking with a celebrity, he said: "We at Tianfu Food House have always been committed to combining traditional cuisine with modern cooking techniques to bring you a brand new taste experience. This food event will definitely satisfy your appetite."

The celebrities were impressed by his eloquence and enthusiasm and readily agreed to participate.

The food event at Tianfu Food House was decorated in a fresh and natural style, with flowers and green plants.

The air was filled with a light floral scent, which made people feel happy. After the new dishes were served, a creative Sichuan dish attracted everyone's attention.

After tasting the dish, a guest praised it, "This dish is very creative, spicy and fresh, very satisfying." When Gao Qianjin heard the guest's praise, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Cuihua Tower is a gorgeous sight, with bright chandeliers emitting dazzling light and exquisite murals making people feel as if they are in a palace of art.

Golden decorations are everywhere, highlighting the luxury and nobility of this hotel.

Chef Xu stood in the kitchen, watching other restaurants holding food events, his heart full of hesitation and thought.

He paced back and forth, muttering to himself, "Can we hold a food event? What if the effect is not good?"

After a fierce ideological struggle, he finally decided to imitate other restaurants and hold his own food events.

At the Cuihualou food event, the golden decorations were even more dazzling under the light. Food critics were shocked by the luxurious atmosphere and were full of expectations for the dishes.

An exquisite French dessert was served. After tasting it, the critics nodded and praised it: "This dessert has a delicate taste, moderate sweetness, and a very beautiful shape."

Chef Xu felt relieved when he heard the critics' comments.

In all Wang's hotels, Wang Jianye heard about the actions of other hotels, but he did not panic. He called a meeting with all the employees. "Everyone has heard about it, other hotels are taking action, we can't take it lightly." Wang Jianye looked at everyone with a firm gaze.

Chen Xiaoyang frowned slightly and said seriously: "Boss, they are going against us. But we are not afraid. We will make every dish to perfection and we will definitely be able to keep our customers."

The meticulousness and seriousness he shows in his work are admirable. He strictly controls the cooking process of each dish to ensure the quality of the dishes.

Ma Hua smiled enthusiastically and said, "Hey, they are coming with such force, we can't let them succeed. We have to show our true ability and let the guests know that our Wang's Hotel is the best."

His enthusiasm and humor always bring motivation to everyone and make the tense working atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable.

Sha Zhu waved the spatula and said loudly: "Everyone, work harder and show them our strength. The dishes we cook are definitely delicious."

His generosity and straightforwardness make people feel at ease. He firmly believes that as long as he cooks with care, he will win the love of the guests.

Qin Huairu smiled gently and said as she helped prepare the ingredients, "We can't lose. If we all work together, we will definitely win this battle."

Her gentleness and hard work infect everyone, allowing everyone to feel the warmth of home even in their busy work.

Wang Bingbing calmly analyzed: "Dad, I think we can't just compete on the food, we also have to work hard on the quality of service and cultural connotation. We can hold food culture lectures to let diners better understand our food culture and increase their sense of identity with our restaurant."

Her wisdom and calmness always play an important role at critical moments and provide suggestions for the development of the hotel.

The lobby of all Wang's hotels is decorated to be more warm and elegant.

There are pictures and introductions of food culture hanging on the walls, allowing people to feel the strong cultural atmosphere as soon as they walk in.

The waiters have received more rigorous training and the service is more thoughtful and meticulous.

"Hello, welcome to Wang's Hotel." The waiters' smiles were as warm as the sunshine.

Wang Jianye personally went into the kitchen to check the preparation of the dishes.

"Please control the heat a little better for this dish," Wang Jianye said to the chefs.

The food culture lecture was also being prepared intensively. Wang Bingbing invited a famous food culture scholar to be the keynote speaker.

"This lecture will definitely help diners better understand our food culture." Wang Bingbing was full of anticipation.

Finally, the food culture lecture of all Wang's restaurants was held as scheduled. Diners came one after another and the seats were full.

The food culture scholar stood on the podium and spoke passionately about the history and culture of food.

"Delicious food not only satisfies the appetite, but also is a kind of cultural inheritance." The scholar's words deeply touched everyone present.

After the lecture, diners gained a deeper understanding of the food culture of all Wang’s restaurants and had a better impression of the restaurants.

At the same time, Fengzeyuan Hotel, Tianfu Shifang Hotel and Cuihualou are also working hard to attract diners.

But they found that despite the success of their food events, the popularity of Wang's entire restaurant chain remained high.

Jiang Qinfeng looked at the Fengzeyuan Hotel, which was still not very lively, and felt helpless.

He paced back and forth in the office again, muttering to himself: "Are we going to lose just like that? No, I can't just give up like this."

Gao Qianjin is also thinking about countermeasures: "We can't just be outdone by Wang's entire chain of hotels. We have to find ways to innovate and attract more customers."

Chef Xu was also lost in thought: "Although our food activities have some effect, they are still not as good as those of Wang's entire restaurant chain. We need to find out where the problem lies and make changes."

At Wang's All-Inclusive Hotel, Wang Jianye looked at the lively scene and felt filled with satisfaction.

"Everyone's efforts have not been in vain," Wang Jianye said to his employees.

As the days go by, the food battle continues.

However, Wang's entire chain of restaurants always maintains an advantage in the competition thanks to its high-quality services, delicious dishes and profound food culture.

One day, a customer walked into Fengzeyuan Restaurant and said to Jiang Qinfeng: "Your food is not bad, but I still prefer the atmosphere and culture of Wang's full-line restaurants."

Jiang Qinfeng was shocked when he heard this.

He realized that simply having a gourmet event could not really win the hearts of diners.

Gao Qianjin also heard similar comments and began to reflect on his own strategy.

Chef Xu is also thinking about the future direction.

In all Wang's hotels, Wang Jianye and his employees did not become proud of their temporary victory.

They know that the world of food is always full of challenges, and only by continuous innovation and progress can they remain invincible in the competition.

"We must continue to work hard to make all Wang's restaurants a legend in the food industry." Wang Jianye encouraged his employees.

As time goes by, the reputation of Wang's entire series of restaurants becomes more and more famous, attracting more diners to come and taste the food and experience the culture.

Fengzeyuan Hotel, Tianfu Food House Hotel and Cuihualou have also continued to grow and improve in this competition, jointly promoting the development of the food industry.

However, unexpected events occurred one after another during the food event.

Fengzeyuan Hotel encountered a food shortage problem. Jiang Qinfeng walked around the kitchen anxiously and said loudly: "Hurry up and find a way to solve the food problem. We can't let our guests down."

The employees took action and looked everywhere for alternative ingredients. Finally, they found suitable ingredients in a nearby market and resolved the crisis.

A chef at Tianfu Shifang Restaurant fell ill, and Gao Qianjin decisively adjusted the menu and asked other chefs to share the sick chef's work to ensure the smooth progress of the food event.

Cuihualou is facing the pressure of intensified market competition. Several new restaurants have opened nearby, attracting some diners.

Chef Xu decided to launch some promotional activities to attract customers back.

However, all the Wang family restaurants were not all smooth sailing.

The policy changes had a certain impact on the hotel's operations. Wang Jianye led his staff to carefully study the policies and adjust the business strategy to ensure the hotel's stable development. (End of this chapter)
