At around 9:30 the next day, the phone rang and a crisp woman's voice came.

"Hello, Mr. Simeone, my name is Chen Meiling. I am Mr. Tong Lei's assistant. I am your food guide today."

Simeone didn't expect Tong Lei would arrange a woman to have dinner with him, and thought to himself that the other party was quite careful, "I understand, when will we set off?"

Chen Meiling said: "I have been waiting for you in the lobby downstairs of the hotel. There is still an hour before the door is opened there, so you can rest for half an hour."

After working in the room for half an hour, a review report was completed, and Simeone sent it to the editor's email address.

He looked at his social account and found that a newman's news attracted a lot of popularity.

Newman shared his itinerary in China these days on his account, uploading three sets of photos from some restaurants in China.

The first group of captions: "In the past two days, accompanied by the Chinese gourmet Mr. Xu Hexiang, I have found the essence of Chinese food deep in the alley. It turns out that we have a misunderstanding that it is not that China is a desert of food, but that we have found the wrong place. The desert we originally thought was just the tip of the iceberg."

The second group of text: "It turns out that a country's food can be so ever-changing and has strong inclusiveness. China is a multi-ethnic country with a vast territory and has no faults in its history for thousands of years. Therefore, the food also contains the characteristics of cross-regional integration of multiple ethnic groups. The chefs here not only pursue exquisite cooking skills, but also specialize in the tastes of customers..."

The third group of captions: "The last stop was at the canteen of Qiao Bang, a restaurant that Teacher Xu Hexiang strongly recommended. I have long admired his reputation before coming here. Although it is not a Michelin restaurant, his chef has defeated Michelin three-star chef many times, including one of my favorite chefs. I was originally skeptical, but after tasting the delicious food here, I realized that my reputation is well-deserved!"

As for the comment section, it is very popular, and a large number of netizens from China.

"Thank you to Teacher Newman for your recognition of Chinese food. I am an authentic foodie. Your food sharing is an important reference for me to choose a travel route. I used to travel abroad. Only through your three updates did I realize that Chinese food is worth my in-depth exploration."

"We also want to pay more attention to Chinese food. It's not that we are not excellent enough, but that we are vast and you don't have the patience to explore."

"I finally found a soulmate! Thank you for acknowledging China. You are the eternal friend of the Chinese people."

There is also a group of foreign netizens in the comment area. Newman's updates have changed their prejudice against Chinese cuisine.

"Isn't Chinese delicacies only dumplings, but also hot pot? I didn't expect there were so many special delicacies."

"Oh, I really want to have Chinese food. These authentic Chinese foods feel so tempting."

"I must travel to China when I have time. I must stay in Yanjing for a month and enjoy the authentic food hidden deep."

"The Michelin Guide generally only recommends those unique restaurants. In the past, I went to a certain country and followed the guide to Michelin restaurants, but I felt that I didn't know how to find new places and experience local food. This method like Teacher Newman is so valuable. I directly recommend many restaurants, which is a good travel guide for us."

Newman's movements

It has been on the hot search list of the website. If nothing unexpected happens, it will form a strong topic in a short period of time.

In Simeone's view, although Newman is a professional food spy, his standards for food are too low.

He seriously doubted whether Newman had charged extra money and said so many good things about Chinese food, but he had no backbone at all.

Although Tong Lei promised to give himself a "payment fee", Simeone looked down on him. He wanted to write down his true feelings truthfully and submit the most objective scoring report.

Some netizens tagged Simeone in Newman's dynamic comment section.

"@Simone, you and Newman participated in an event organized by the China Cooking Association. Didn't you set out with him to find Chinese food? This is not in line with your identity as a food spy!"

"@Simone, you must have your own opinions, so you might as well share them!"

Simeone sat in front of the laptop, pondered for a long time, and wrote down his own opinion.

"Thank you for your concern. Every Michelin food spy has a different view on food. But the standards of Michelin restaurants are strictly unified. Some people's views can only represent themselves, not Michelin. Please be careful to distinguish them."

Simeone's comment caused an uproar.

Although he said it very implicitly, the implication was that he could not agree with Newman's idea and imply that Newman's definition of food was far below Michelin's standard.

Simeone also welcomed a lot of support.

"Support Teacher Simeone! Michelin Restaurant is aimed at the world's top restaurants. Not only does it have food requirements, but it also needs to consider ingredients, services, environment, etc. It is not just a random restaurant with a few signature dishes, which can be selected."

"Although there are many varieties of Chinese cuisine and delicious food, many dishes use too ordinary ingredients..."

Simeone turned off the laptop, rubbed her temples, took a deep breath, and adjusted her mood.

When he arrived downstairs, a Chinese woman with a good figure walked towards him.

"Mr. Simeone, I am Chen Meiling."

Simeone nodded to Chen Meiling and said, "Let's go!"

Sitting in the car, Chen Meiling and Simeone introduced her situation. She had studied in France. She now worked as the chef's public relations department of the International Hotel in the Chef. She is now following Tong Lei to Malexing and serve as the administrative store manager of Bashu Xindian.

Of course, there is no need to say much about the relationship between Chen Meiling and Tong Lei, otherwise Tong Lei would not have used this as a condition for changing jobs.

Chen Meiling is 32 years old this year and has two children. Her husband usually travels on business very frequently. They both take care of their own and will only meet on weekends. Chen Meiling doesn’t care much about her husband’s private life. It is enough to give herself timely living expenses every month.

Chen Meiling found that Simeone's real person was more handsome than in the information, and eating with such a man was a pleasure in itself.

Arriving at the main cafeteria of Qiao Bang, Chen Meiling walked in front and successfully passed the inspection in front. Because she came early, she could choose a window next to the window.

After Simeone took her seat, she found that there were already guests around her who arrived earlier than them. Compared with the Michelin restaurant, the environment here is more than one level lower. She complained in her heart that Newman really has no principle, and such a restaurant can also give it that.

High rating.

The waiter is very pretty, put on makeup, very comfortable light makeup, and has good quality. He speaks fluently. She asked softly: "Why do you need to order your own dishes? Or should you choose the two-person meal recommended by the chef?"

"Can you choose a chef's meal and order a few more dishes?" Simeone asked.

"Sorry, we only have two options here, and you only have two people, so you can only order two dishes." The waiter explained patiently.

Chen Meiling frowned and said, "You are a service company, shouldn't you consider it for customers?"

Simeone frowned. In many Michelin restaurants, the chefs decided on the recipe for the day. The chefs in the restaurant are famous and confident, and can have full confidence to ensure that the food they cook can meet the preferences of customers.

But the restaurant in front of me is not a Michelin three-star restaurant at all. Where does this confidence come from?

"Just follow their business methods." Simeone said lightly, "We choose the chef's recommended dishes!"

When the waiter left, Chen Meiling said coldly: "Your temper is really good. If it were an ordinary customer, he would have left long ago."

Simeone said: "We came to visit the store this time to experience their services in all aspects, not only food, but also dining experience. To be honest, although the decoration environment is still clean and hygienic, it obviously does not cost much. Such an environment, coupled with this overbearing service attitude, can only get low scores from me."

Chen Meiling smiled and said, "Next time Simeone comes to China, please go directly to Bashu, I will entertain you there."

Simeone smiled slightly, "As a food spy, you cannot attend such a banquet casually. If Michelin knows about it, I will be disqualified and I will also bear the liability for breach of contract. I will be severely punished."

Chen Meiling smiled, "You are just too serious. I just invited you to visit as a friend, not to find you to go through the back door."

Simeone said: "Chef Tong told me that he had decided to go to the flagship restaurant of Malexing Group as the chef. With his strength, it is very easy to apply for a one-star, but it will take several years to pass the Samsung review. Michelin will arrange a dedicated person to guide him."

"You still need your help if you can upgrade to Samsung as soon as possible." Chen Meiling's eyes fluttered, trying to touch Simeone's calves with her toes.

Simeone's expression changed slightly, she adjusted her sitting posture and coughed gently. He could feel the woman in front of him tempting him, but as a proud food spy, he had strict self-discipline, so how could he be easily tempted by beauty?

Xu Qian, who works in the kitchen, did not know that Simeone, who was "involved with evil intentions", had arrived. He was making a Chinese and Western dish "Red Stewed Meatballs".

The creativity comes from a Spanish dish. The Spanish diet has many similarities with China, such as eating pig hands and eating garlic.

Red stew is a way to thicken.

As for the meatballs, the method of "burnt fried meatballs" in Henan cuisine is used. Sweet potato vermicelli are mixed into the meat filling, and after frying, it is processed in the form of "red stew".

In short, meatballs are Chinese and stewed in Western style.
