Cantonese cuisine is one of the cultural symbols of Guangdong
"Integrating health care materials into traditional dishes to make innovative dishes that conform to the eating habits of contemporary people, such as the mugwort fish cake brought this time, is the direction we have been trying in the past two years, which also echoes the cultural brand of Meizhou to create a 'longevity town'."

38 years of Chaocai Road, so that Guangdong Jianye Restaurant Co., Ltd. chairman Ji Ruixi witnessed the development of the Chaocai industry. In recent years, Ji Ruixi has obviously felt that under the promotion of the Cantonese cuisine master project and the mutual promotion of Shantou's cultural tourism industry and the development of Shantou cuisine, "becoming a chao cuisine master" has gradually become a popular choice for young people's employment, taking Jianye Restaurant as an example, one or two hundred people will be recruited every year, including many "post-05" apprentices. In this regard, Ji Ruixi laughed and said that Jianye Restaurant has become a "private technical school".

Tan Guangyi said: "Cantonese refreshments are deeply loved by Cantonese people and even the people of the whole country, and are one of the representatives of Guangdong culture. ”
Feel the change:
The food and beverage industry is bursting with new vitality
"Every day, Shantou has countless lion-headed geese sent to all parts of the country, and this goose alone can drive a production chain, a farmers' market and the entire breeding industry, bringing a steady stream of employment opportunities." Speaking of Cantonese cuisine master engineering training, Chen Jinquan, the leader of the five-star celebrity chef and skill master studio, has deep feelings, and since the launch of the Cantonese cuisine master project, he has guided nearly 2,000 students.
According to Chen Jinquan, engaged in the catering industry for more than 40 years, you can clearly feel the vitality of the industry in recent years, "the so-called people take food as the sky, the Cantonese cuisine master project has aroused the people's interest in Chinese cuisine, and has also promoted more people to explore and exchange in the catering industry, driving the all-round development of the Guangdong catering industry chain." ”
As Chen Jinquan felt, in recent years, the Cantonese cuisine master project in Shantou City has been in full swing.

This is also a vivid epitome of Guangdong's comprehensive use of multi-dimensional policy measures such as talent training, employment and entrepreneurship, industrial development and cultural brand building.
Cantonese chefs "cook" out of the industrial chain to get rich

On November 2, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area "Cantonese Cuisine Master" Skill Competition was launched. More than 100 Cantonese cuisine masters competed in the "ring" and presented a feast of the tip of the tongue with full color and fragrance. Behind the high-level competition is the vigorous development of the Cantonese cuisine industry. With the competition as the main line, we will connect cultural display, industrial integration and other diversified elements, give play to the agglomeration effect of "Cantonese chefs +", and create a Cantonese cuisine cultural feast with the experience and participation of the whole people. As a people's livelihood project, the "Cantonese cuisine master" project has effectively promoted employment and entrepreneurship, driven the development of the whole chain of rural catering industry, breeding and breeding industry and tourism industry, and become an "accelerator" for high-quality development in Guangdong.
A total of 636,000 people were employed and started
In Guangdong, the "Cantonese Cuisine Master" project has become a key move to upgrade skills and promote employment, with "small incisions" to promote the solution of employment "big problems". Since the implementation of the project, the province has carried out a total of 261,000 "Cantonese cuisine master" training, and a total of 636,000 employment and entrepreneurship. It has effectively promoted the realization of skilled employment and entrepreneurship for the majority of urban and rural workers, and made positive contributions to the high-quality development of the province's economy.
"I now have my own restaurant and my life is getting better." Wu Mingjun of Shanmei Village, Songzhu Town, Leizhou, Zhanjiang, has just turned 21 this year, and thanks to the "Cantonese Cuisine Master" project, his annual income has exceeded 300,000 yuan.
Nowadays, Yushui Village in Meizhou City has successfully changed from a "coal mining village" to a "famous chef village", and there are currently 356 people engaged in the chef industry in the village, with an annual salary of more than 200,000 yuan and more than 100 chefs. "We have stepped out of the cultivation model of 'famous enterprises become famous chefs, famous chefs with famous apprentices, famous apprentices join hands with famous enterprises, and famous apprentices become famous chefs'." The local village secretary talked about the changes brought about by the "Cantonese Chef" project, and his face was full of confident smiles.
Since the implementation of the "Cantonese Cuisine Master" project, such examples of "counterattack" are not uncommon.
At present, 184 technical colleges and vocational colleges in Guangdong have opened Cantonese cuisine related majors, with 68,000 students in school, and the multi-level evaluation system of "Cantonese cuisine masters" has been gradually established. Next, Guangdong will classify and layer the preparation of "Cantonese cuisine master" primary, intermediate and advanced course teaching materials, develop "Cantonese cuisine master" online remote training courseware; use modern apprenticeship system and other models to promote school-enterprise cooperation and training; accelerate the improvement of the "Cantonese cuisine master" evaluation system that combines vocational skill level recognition and special vocational ability assessment.
"Cantonese Chef +" broke out of the new road of industrial integration
In every delicious Cantonese dish, the ingredients are the key. Behind the aromatic Cantonese cuisine is the establishment and development of an industrial chain of ingredients.
Steamed fish is the most common home-cooked dish in Shunde Cantonese cuisine, and it is also a signature dish that must be prepared in Shunde Restaurant. As one of the largest freshwater fish breeding bases in China, Shunde has about 150,000 mu of fish ponds, with an annual output of more than 280,000 tons of freshwater aquaculture, and the number of farmers in Shunde is huge.
Where does a fish come from in Shunde? What feed drugs have you used? What's wrong with the shipping process? All can be traced through the system. The local area is starting from freshwater fish, extending to the upstream and downstream of the industry, and leveraging a huge Cantonese cuisine industry chain.
In the vegetable planting base of Hutoupo Village, Chengyue Town, Suixi County, Zhanjiang City, a basket of freshly picked vegetables is ready to be shipped to the "Cantonese Cuisine Master" Gao Fei Master Studio in the nearby town of Luogang.
In the past, farmers who "relied on the sky to eat" often faced problems such as unstable sales channels and fluctuations in purchase prices. Since the implementation of the "Cantonese Cuisine Master" project, the planting base has not only improved the quality of agricultural products but also steadily increased the income of villagers by "pairing" with the "Cantonese Cuisine Master" studio.
With food as the medium, the "Cantonese Cuisine Master" project is "revitalizing" many sleeping rural resources. This is also an important starting point for Guangdong to promote the "Cantonese cuisine master" project, digging deep into traditional rural Cantonese cuisine, combining with folk culture, agricultural tourism and leisure, etc., to create a number of rural Cantonese cuisine tourist attractions and rural Cantonese cuisine tourism boutique routes.
In Guangdong, more and more villages are making this attempt. Local delicacies such as Merlin Goose King, Jun'an Steamed Pig, and Baiqie Huaixiang Chicken are bringing a number of rural Cantonese food tourist attractions. While inheriting the culture of Cantonese cuisine, it promotes high-quality employment of urban and rural workers, helps rural revitalization and precise poverty alleviation, and embarks on a flavor road of "full of color and fragrance".
