Chapter 422 - 420: The Blossoms of Our Nation Don’t Need Pre-made Dishes to Nurture
Wang Fan didn’t keep them in suspense and said directly: "I think the biggest benefit is convenience. Pre-made dishes eliminate the tedious steps of buying, washing, and cutting ingredients. You just need to simply heat them, which is very suitable for busy office workers or people who can’t cook."
Wang Cong quickly seized the opportunity and asked: "Then do you mean you support ordinary people eating pre-made dishes?"
Wang Fan replied: "I think it’s really about giving diners more choices. When I eat, you need to let me know if I’m eating something freshly cooked or pre-made. You can’t let me spend money on freshly cooked food but serve me pre-made stuff. Also, the raw materials for pre-made dishes should be strictly controlled, ideally with a national standard. Working people already have it tough, they just ask for three meals a day. If possible, I’d like us to be a bit kinder to them."
In saying this, he was also speaking for his past self. With the internet being so advanced, he was now part of the food industry, and he understood the nature of some stores, especially those driven by capital.
He pursued food as both a hobby and a career, but for some people, it’s just a means to make money, using any means necessary to earn more.
Take meat, for instance; he usually buys top-quality meat at affordable prices, and the system’s price is actually not much different from the market price. It’s just that he doesn’t have to run around. If he wanted to make more money, the simplest way would be to lower the quality of the ingredients.
If I use end-cut meat to make Dongpo Pork or braised pork with preserved vegetables, you might notice. But what if I make it into minced meat? Or use it to render oil?
If you buy lots of end-cut meat at the market, people will sell it to you for just one yuan a pound. Compared to end-cut meat, those who use zombie meat are almost conscientious.
Though zombie meat lacks nutrition, at least it doesn’t have lymph nodes or lipoma like end-cut meat!
If you eat this stuff every day, can you be healthy?
"Good! Boss Wang, you spoke to my heart!"
"Boss Wang, I’m a fan for life!"
"No wonder he’s praised by the official media, true fan +1."
Wang Fan’s last heartfelt statement, "just asking for three meals a day, be kinder to the workers," truly resonated with many people’s hearts.
Beijing wanderers, Shenzhen wanderers, Shanghai wanderers, all kinds of drifters, isn’t it just to earn a bit more silver so they can afford to buy something when they want to eat?
Having money for medical treatment? Can’t even dare to think!
Only those who have truly experienced it can understand the suffering of leaving one’s home.
Colleagues scheming, clients being difficult, and in the end, you just want a peaceful meal, yet you have to worry whether the things you’re using are clean or not. Such days would make even cattle and horses feel hopeless!
Many people began recalling the past half-year journey of Boss Wang’s rise to fame.
Boss Wang has always been down-to-earth. His products can’t be said to be particularly cheap, but they are definitely very cost-effective. If his products are expensive, it’s because the raw materials are expensive. If they’re cheap, it’s because the raw materials are cheap.
But even with the cheaper raw materials, they are still carefully selected, so you never have to worry about eating something bad.
And with Boss Wang’s skills, even if he uses a big cabbage as the main dish, people would still be willing to pay hundreds for it. There’s no help for it; his cooking is just that delicious, but he never rips people off. Cabbage is sold at cabbage prices, no matter how delicious it is.
They’re not fools. With sincerity exchanged for sincerity, as long as Boss Wang can maintain his original intention, they are willing to be his fans for life!
Cattle and horses rarely feel the warmth of society; alone, you only experience the coldness of society.
Just with this one casual remark from Wang Fan, he had even hit their tear points.
Many people suddenly felt like sand had entered their eyes and hurriedly began rubbing them.
As for where the sand came from while they watched the live stream inside the room, it’s not a concern.
Wang Fan said solemnly: "I hope pre-made dishes are just a choice, not a development trend. Moreover, children’s immunity is low, and they need to grow. I hope this stuff never appears in children’s bowls."
After saying this, he nodded towards the judges and quietly walked off the stage.
This was followed by thunderous applause.
Just for these words, everyone believed that this competition had no dark side, at least not Boss Wang’s first place.
Director Liu took a deep look at Wang Fan, got up, took the microphone, and said: "Mr. Wang Fan’s speech was deafening. Here, I also assure everyone that the pre-made dishes in this competition will be strictly supervised. Any problematic dish will definitely not make it to the table. If you find a problem, you can come to my office and scold me anytime!"
Everything always has two sides.
Although Wang Fan’s speech caused some bumps in their pre-made dish competition, as long as they can solve the core issues, it’s actually the best kind of promotional traffic flow.
The various cultural and tourism bureaus want to drive their tourism markets, and they never intended to ruin their own reputations. Wang Fan’s words were more suitable than those wishy-washy statements.
Second Uncle proudly shouted to those around him: "That’s our family man! Our old Wang family’s seed, hahaha!"
"Old Wang family is awesome!"
"Boss Wang is the coolest!"
"I want to have his children!"
Second Uncle got anxious hearing this: "Get lost! Now that the lineage is passed down through only one line, and you want to have children, go to the edge!"
"Hahaha..."
...
The originally live-streamed event, both the activity and Wang Fan’s later words, quickly fermented online.
Apart from a few people with too much free time spouting conspiracy theories and warped morality, the vast majority were very rational.
They highly affirmed Wang Fan’s words.
What made Wang Fan’s fans ecstatic was that the official media mentioned Wang Fan again!
"The nation’s blossoms do not need the watering of pre-made dishes! Thumbs up to you @Wang Fan."
Although this time it wasn’t a whole article praising Wang Fan like last time, the value of this like is absolutely high.
After all, it’s the only official media in the nation, signifying high value.
"Wow, the official media just put a Golden Silk Armor on Boss Wang. Anyone daring to speak ill on this will surely get blood on their hands."
"Mainly because Boss Wang said it so well, we can suffer more, eat worse, but the kids shouldn’t endure this."
"A few days ago, I bought a pre-made dish made with end-cut meat, yet they insisted it was three-layered pork belly, absolutely disgusting."
"Just like Boss Wang said, they should create a grading system, so I know exactly what I’m eating!"
"Pre-made dishes aren’t impossible, proper supervision is genuinely needed. But given the choice, I’d still prefer to follow Boss Wang for delicious food."
"That’s right, anything produced by Boss Wang is a masterpiece. Once I tasted his food, it became a comfort to me. Whenever I’m so angry I want to jump off a building, I think of such delicious food and just can’t bear to."
"There’s no hurdle you can’t overcome, brother. At least Boss Wang’s cuisine awaits you."
"Indeed, as long as Boss Wang appears near your location, close your eyes and you won’t be wrong, the price is definitely affordable, and the taste, just imagine, even a five-star hotel would have to step aside."
"I’m a chef at a five-star hotel, and I believe my culinary skills are a level below Boss Wang. The way Boss Wang handles detail in his dishes is astonishing. I must learn a lot more from him!"
