Chapter 243 The Big Surprise of the Thanksgiving Chapter
When Jed knew that the somewhat depressed chef in front of him was Gordon Ramsay, he suddenly wondered if he was lucky.Jed was a half gourmet in his previous life, and once tasted his food at the Gordon Ramsay restaurant in London during a trip, and immediately felt that the evaluation given by the "Michelin Guide" was too correct, and it was indeed worth arranging for this food A travel plan.However, according to the timeline of his previous life, Gordon Ramsay should have his first Michelin star restaurant in London at this time. How could he be reduced to Los Angeles?
Although Jed is proud of being a native of Los Angeles, Jed has to admit the fact that in terms of food, Los Angeles is not only inferior to New York City on the east coast, even the neighboring city of San Francisco is slightly behind.But with Gordon Ramsay, a chef who has won 14 Michelin stars in history, sitting in Los Angeles, will there be no food in Los Angeles in the future?Gordon Ramsay himself is a Michelin three-star chef, and restaurants such as Gordon Ramsay Restaurant, Petrus Manor Restaurant, Labyrinth Restaurant, Hollywood Restaurant and Hazelnut Restaurant he served as the chef have also received one to three Michelin stars. Evaluation, although Gordon Ramsay is not the chef with the most stars in the history of Michelin, he is definitely the most successful chef in the chef world.
Facing such a future master, Jed closed his eyes and thought for a while, and said, "I can recommend you to work as the sous chef at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. If the chef's year-end evaluation of you is 'excellent' If you want, I will sponsor you to have your first restaurant in Los Angeles. Once your restaurant has a Michelin star, I will help you open it all over the world.”
Gordon Ramsay's entry into the chef world was purely accidental. When Gordon was young, he, like all Scottish teenagers, dreamed of being a football star.It's just that he injured his kneecap during the Glasgow Rangers trial and had to say goodbye to football.The alcoholic father at home made him unable to feel the warmth of the family, so Gordon entered the North Oxfordshire Vocational and Technical College with the help of his friends and became an apprentice chef.After graduating from this technical school, Gordon entered the Vauxton House Hotel almost one step at a time, and became an assistant chef in the restaurant of this hotel.But Gordon had a scandal here, and he had to leave the hotel.
But after Gordon left the hotel, he was very lucky to be spotted by the head chef of Harvey's restaurant, Marco White.Marco is a grumpy chef, but his familiarity with French and British cuisine is unrivaled, and he is also a Michelin three-star chef.Gordon's future achievements in the chef world can be said to be pointed out by this grumpy chef. After three years of learning at Harvey's Restaurant, following Marco's advice, Gordon went to the smart restaurant in Westminster. Ghost restaurant.After studying there for a while, in order to improve his French cooking skills, Gordon finally went to Paris to learn from two Michelin chefs, Guy Savoy and Joel Hobhun.
After going around for a while, Gordon returned to England and came to Chelsea.He joined fellow mentor and friend Marco White's Aunt Claire's restaurant.After receiving its first Michelin star, White gave up 10% of the shares to invite Gordon to become a partner and renamed the restaurant "Eggplant Restaurant".It's a pity that after the eggplant restaurant won the second Michelin star, the two chefs, who are very irascible and stubborn, finally fell apart.Gordon did not get funding from his father-in-law to open a restaurant as in the original timeline, but came to the United States alone to seek opportunities.
Gordon is good at British, French and Italian cuisine, the latter two dishes are officially popular in the United States, so he feels that he should have a chance in the United States.But to Gordon's disappointment, the United States even industrialized food when it promoted industrialization.Gordon believes that food should be completed by artificial and natural, so he refuses to use any synthetic spices. He loves all kinds of herbs all over Italy, but he will never allow anyone to use chemical spices in his cooking kitchen.
After being appreciated by Jed, he replied: "I accept your invitation, and I believe that I will open my restaurant in a year. If you want to invest, I can give up a part of the shares. But my The restaurant is up to me!"
"Of course there's no problem. I'm just a person who loves food. I just hope that I will always have my seat in your restaurant in the future." Jed is not in the mood to participate in the daily operation of a restaurant, not to mention that Gordon Ramsay not only It proved that he is an excellent chef and even an excellent manager. At his peak, he owned nearly fifty restaurants or bars.
"Please rest assured, as long as it is the restaurant I run, Your Excellency will have your deeds at any time." Gordon Ramsay held out his hand, and then Jed also extended his hand.What Jed didn't expect was that just such a handshake would actually create a catering empire covering the whole world in the future, but at this time, Jed cared more about the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday.
Although the origin of the Thanksgiving holiday is a bit hypocritical, this does not prevent this holiday from becoming an important holiday in the United States after Christmas.Especially for some conservative families, Thanksgiving must be a family gathering.So adhering to this habit, Jed still holds a Thanksgiving party every year at the Sherman Estate in Beverly Hills.All the people invited to this party were members of the Sherman family or the Sherman Group, and they were all well-known figures in the American entertainment circle.
The old butler attached great importance to this party. He thought it was the most important social party for the Sherman family in Los Angeles every year, especially since his master was actually married to a man.As a housekeeper, he would not criticize the master's actions; but as an old man who watched Jed grow up, he still has some criticisms.For the old butler, the prestigious Sherman family must have an heir.The old butler couldn't help complaining, why didn't the little master get an illegitimate child out when he was messing around?Although an illegitimate child is disgraceful, it's better than having no heir, right?
Fortunately, when the old housekeeper was thinking wildly, Jed finally couldn't help but revealed to the old man who had been loyal to the family for decades that he had already contacted the surrogate mother.After checking the relevant information of the surrogate mother and the pregnancy inspection report of the future Sherman family heir, the old butler suddenly felt that he was decades younger.No matter how you put it, you have to wait for the future little master to go to college before you can close your eyes. This is the recent wish of the old housekeeper.
"Why, good news from your side?" John didn't know why he was slightly jealous. He knew that Jed and that woman would never know each other for the rest of their lives, and neither of them had any contact.To put it cruelly, it was just that Jed borrowed the woman's belly to give birth to his child.John did the same thing.But even so, John still felt slightly frustrated.Originally, John thought that the world of two people can be as they like, but after the two people are really together to help each other, he realizes how difficult it is for two people to live together under the same roof.
Jed didn't know about John's loss, but he didn't intend to expose him. Now Jed also understands the fact that no matter how close people are, they should keep their own secrets, otherwise the relationship between the two will definitely go wrong. of. "Yeah, Stork brought the monthly routine inspection report. If there are no accidents, he will be born around Christmas." Jed suddenly laughed, "Is this Santa Claus? Greatest gift for me?"
"Forget it." John didn't get entangled in this emotion anymore, after all, finding a surrogate mother was the result of the two of them discussing for a long time.More importantly, in order to respect John's feelings, Jed looked for a surrogacy agency and paid a higher price just so that there would be no intersection between the two in the future. "But mine was a bit later than yours. You know, the first time it didn't work out, so it was delayed by three months. The expected date of delivery I gave was April or May."
Jed put his arms around John's waist lightly, "I heard it's a girl, and it's better for a girl to be born in April or May. Think about it, she was born with flowers blooming in full bloom, how beautiful it is! There is a beautiful classical love novel called "Dream of Red Mansions", in which the heroine was born on the 'Flower Festival'. This woman has since become the standard of beauty for countless Chinese men and women, and I think our daughter can too. What do you think of her Would it be better to be called Stephanie (flower crown) or Flora (flora)?"
"You're thinking about her name now?" John said with a smile, "Didn't the son come out first?"
"Boys, John, Tom, Jack?" Jed said nonchalantly, "Why don't you come?"
"How about Frank?" John suggested, "I hope he will be a free person in the future without too many burdens."
"As a child of the Sherman family, how can I not bear too much burden? Not to mention being the eldest son." Jed sighed, "I think it's better to change to William? This family needs him to protect, and he must be like Fight like a fighter."
"That's the only way to go." John didn't know what Jed was thinking, "It seems that Frank can only be given to the youngest son."
"I'm not going to look for a surrogate." Jed buried his face in John's collarbone, "Just because the family needs an heir, I have to. My son will be called William Joseph Sherman, your name Will be a middle name, how?"
"Don't be so absolute, maybe we will meet a child who belongs to us in the future?" John laughed.
After the two stayed in the room for a while, they were about to go out to greet the guests.Because the Sherman family lacked a hostess at present, the old housekeeper's daughter had always been the hostess for the female guests.No one underestimated this girl named Josephine. Although she was the youngest daughter of the old housekeeper, she was considered to be Shannetti's successor after she retired to the second line.The reason why Shannity is gradually delegating power is because Shannity is about to get married.After the marriage, Shannity will only be the director and president of Sherman Holdings, and the role of CEO will be performed by Josephine.
What is most confusing to financial investors is that McKinsey, the world's largest and second largest management consulting firm, and Boston Consulting Group have begun to enter companies under the Sherman Group to conduct research on corporate system reform.In the words of Jed Sherman, "I will gradually hand over the management rights in my hands in the next five years, and gradually retire in the next ten years. Although I am still very young, I already have my family. I must give my children a happy family."
