Chapter 157 Participating in the Show
The matter of the hot pot restaurant came to an end, and Chen Yimin received an invitation to a show.
This program is a very popular food program recently, called Chinese Food.
As the name suggests, the program mainly invites some representative Chinese delicacies to come to the program to share with everyone, and then invites several guests to comment on them.
Unlike others, the director of China Cuisine came to Chen Yimin in person to collaborate with him.
He wanted to invite Chen Yimin to be the host of Chinese cuisine.
There are many cases of celebrities guest hosting. In order to attract the public's attention, many programs will invite some popular celebrities to host.
But this also means that you have to attend every issue.
After hearing the director's invitation, Chen Yimin still refused.
It’s not because he doesn’t like the show, but because if he becomes the host of Hua Xia Mei Hao, he will spend much less time in the hot pot restaurant.
He wants to spend more time and effort to run the hotpot restaurant well.
Shortly after rejecting the invitation from Hua Xia Cuisine, Teacher He sent a WeChat message to Chen Yimin.
"Recently our TV station has launched a new variety show called "Chinese Restaurant", which mainly invites several celebrities to open a restaurant in different parts of the world. Doesn't this remind you of the hot pot restaurant you recently opened? Are you interested in considering our show?"
After seeing Teacher He’s information, Chen Yimin searched the Internet.
Indeed, the "Chinese Restaurant" program has received a lot of attention on the Internet, and some guests have already been invited.
Among them are several hosts of Happy Family and those young handsome guys that I knew from Longing for Life.
These stars are all old acquaintances of mine.
Chen Yimin thought that he wouldn't feel awkward if he participated in this program with them.
After thinking it over, Chen Yimin immediately agreed.
Teacher He has always been helping me, so since he has invited me, I definitely cannot refuse.
Upon learning of Chen Yimin's agreement, Teacher He replied.
"It's like this. We have invited a few celebrities to our Chinese restaurant. They are not very familiar with cooking, so they might ask you to be the head chef. Can you accept that?"
When typing this message, Mr. He felt a little nervous. He didn't know whether Chen Yimin was willing to be the head chef in the Chinese restaurant.
After all, he is making delicious food in front of all the passers-by. If it is not done well, it will have a great impact on his hot pot restaurant.
Seeing Teacher He’s request, Chen Yimin replied.
"Of course, I'd love to be the head chef, and it would also be a great boost for my hot pot restaurant."
Teacher He felt relieved when he saw Chen Yimin’s message.
This is why he is willing to invite Chen Yimin to participate in TV programs again and again.
Compared to those celebrities who act like big shots, Eason Chan is simply humble, capable and cooperative.
After confirming the cooperation, Chen Yimin began to prepare the things he would bring to the Chinese restaurant.
After looking at the program team’s plan, several celebrity guests will need to take care of the restaurant themselves, and they will have to provide all the ingredients and utensils themselves.
Upon learning this, Chen Yimin started buying some kitchen utensils.
The simplest pots, pans, and some useful items, and of course what is most indispensable is the hot pot base that Chen Yimin makes himself in his hot pot restaurant.
Of course, since we are recording a show with other stars, some meeting are inevitable.
Chen Yimin carefully prepared for them some hot sauces that he had developed himself, as well as some desserts.
These things were all made by him personally, which can fully demonstrate his sincerity.
Just as Chen Yimin was making intensive preparations, the program began recording.
The staff of the program team arrived at Chen Yimin’s home one day in advance and took him to the address of the "Chinese Restaurant" restaurant.
In order to achieve the best program effect, the program team kept the information confidential for all the guests, and no one knew where the restaurant was located.
Sitting in the car, Chen Yimin watched the scenery outside the window change from high-rise buildings to small bungalows in the village.
Finally, the car stopped on a grassy area by the river, and the director team signaled Chen Yimin that he could get out.
After getting out of the car, I saw several other cars parked nearby. They should be the guests of the "Chinese Restaurant" program.
After a simple greeting, the staff took them to the restaurant for this episode.
A boat sitting on the river.
This ship is different from other ships. The interior is well decorated. It is a large ship with two floors.
As they stepped onto the boat, the guests exclaimed in amazement.
The program crew decorated the room very warmly. All the furniture is based on Chinese red and has the charm of traditional culture.
Of course, what Chen Yimin cares most about is the kitchen.
After the show officially starts filming, the kitchen will be his workplace, so he needs to familiarize himself with it first.
As we walked into the kitchen, the crowd exclaimed even louder.
As expected of a food-themed program, this kitchen is equipped with the most advanced kitchen appliances, and it is connected to the living room outside, making it a semi-open kitchen.
There are all kinds of pots, pans, and utensils inside.
The female guest next to her opened the refrigerator in the kitchen and found it empty. Apart from some ingredients provided by the program sponsors, there was nothing else edible.
The program crew nearby naturally noticed this and spoke up.
"From today on, you will have to buy all the ingredients yourself. Here is our start-up capital."
Then he handed Chen Yimin an envelope with money inside.
With the official opening of the Chinese restaurant, Chen Yimin officially took on the position of head chef.
Because this season's restaurant is on a movable boat, every time they arrive at a place, the program crew will stop the boat and do business locally.
Because of this, you will meet people from various countries.
Many customers who come to the restaurant to eat are not necessarily Chinese, so language barriers arise .
Once, the waiter in the restaurant was really at a loss and had to ask Chen Yimin for help.
Chen Yimin saw an American standing outside the restaurant. He walked up to the American and greeted him fluently.
When the other stars nearby saw Chen Yimin communicating fluently with the American, they all showed shocked expressions on their faces.
They never expected that Chen Yimin actually had this skill.
After the show was broadcast, because Chen Yimin is familiar with multiple languages, he topped the hot search list.
Many people praised Chen Yimin and said that he was talented.
There are even some students majoring in foreign languages who commented below, expressing their inferiority.
Because of this hot search, the ratings of "Chinese Restaurant" successfully reached the highest in the entire network. The director was very happy to see this result, and he was glad that he had invited Chen Yimin in the first place.
