Chapter 338 Countermeasures on both sides(1/2)
Feng Yifan seemed to be leisurely and was playing with his wife and daughter, but he didn't care about the chef at all. In fact, he was also discussing dishes with his wife.
On the other hand, Su Lanxin and the others were making various preparations in full swing.
Apart from purchasing the ingredients in advance and sending them to Su Ji, Su Lanxin did not ask about the Chinese cuisine cooking auditions at all. Instead, she gathered with her ex-husband Chen Wei, her son Su Liancheng, and her beloved disciple Tan Xueli to try the dishes.
Such a "family" trial place is in a chain restaurant that Su Lanxin is planning to open in Huaicheng.
Everything in the restaurant has been renovated, and the various equipment in the kitchen has been debugged. However, Su Lanxin felt that it was not yet open for business, so it was not open for the time being.
I have to say that Su Lanxin had talent in cooking back then, and later she was also talented in business.
And she knows how to manage, especially how to use various things that can be used to expand the popularity of her restaurant.
For example, she has returned to China now and is very clear that the chain restaurants under her company are not well-known enough in China.
That's why Su Lanxin made several plans, one of which was to take down the old plaque of Su Ji.
He used the century-old plaque of Su Ji to make a fuss and promoted the fact that his father and grandfather had participated in the state banquet.
Su Lanxin even prepared to move out all the court dishes her ancestors had made in the imperial city.
There is only one purpose, that is, to increase popularity and let everyone know that she is from such a cooking family.
After building momentum, she used the momentum to launch her current chain restaurant under the company.
Of course, this plan is obviously impossible to achieve now, because Su Ji’s old plaque, Su Lanxin, is not confident of getting it.
Su Lanxin is not the kind of person who thinks that after this cooking competition, she can bring back the old plaque of Su Ji.
She knew very well that the elder brother was unwilling to compete in the kitchen. The reason why he came out to compete in the kitchen this time was just because of the lobbying of his uncle and some pressure she brought to Su Ji.
So even if the other party loses, Su Lanxin doesn't think the other party will give up the old plaque.
And Su Lanxin has never been a person who would leave no way out.
So she had already prepared other plans, and the cooking competition that is being promoted now is actually her second plan.
He hosted this cooking competition and expanded her popularity with the company through the cooking competition.
Then use this popularity to open the company's chain restaurant chain.
In this way, with the popularity gained by the competition, many people will inevitably flock to new restaurants.
Because everyone will definitely want to try it, what are the dishes made by the judges of the cooking competition?
Then, using this popularity, Su Lanxin can make the chain restaurant famous.
Of course, there is another important key point behind all this, that is, a group of chefs trained by Su Lanxin Company.
The chefs cultivated by these companies are the foundation of Su Lanxin's hard work overseas over the years and the key to the success of the company's many chain restaurants.
Therefore, with sufficient strength, Su Lanxin can achieve such success by using various publicity methods.
Su Lanxin's strength is indeed extremely strong when she can become a multinational catering company and also opens chain restaurants that are more Chinese-oriented in many places around the world.
However, even Su Lanxin, who has such strength, still has a knot that she can't untie.
This knot in my heart is the old plaque from Su Ji.
In fact, for Su Lanxin, perhaps she herself knew that she really wanted to get that old plaque and really wanted to become Su Ji's master.
In fact, I just can't swallow the breath back then. To put it bluntly, it's such a battle of intent.
But Su Lanxin just couldn't let go, she just wanted to prove that her father's choice was wrong.
Over the years, she has tried her best and almost racked her brains to successfully expand the company and successfully build a multinational catering company.
It can be said that the biggest driving force behind it may be the dissatisfaction of my father back then.
Therefore, even if you know that Chen Wei and Feng Yifan’s chef competition is very sloppy, even if you know that even if you win, you may not be able to obtain the old plaque of Su Ji.
But Su Lanxin is still willing to compete, and still wants to do her best, thinking about winning this game of competition.
So in the kitchen of the newly built restaurant, Su Lanxin can be said to be extremely strict.
From the morning, Su Lanxin called Chen Wei, Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli and asked them to try it in the kitchen together.
It was probably after Su Ji people finished their breakfast that Chen Wei finally completed the first dish.
Including the soup at the beginning, the refreshing and vegetable salad in the middle, the steak used for the main meal, the final serving of seafood, and a little staple food, as well as the last refreshing side dishes.
Seeing what Chen Wei did, Tan Xueli really couldn't help but be convinced.
Chen Wei is worthy of being the company's executive chef and has been in charge of the company's back kitchen for decades.
Even when Tan Xueli was watching Chen Wei cook, she could not imagine that Chen Wei would be an old man in his seventies.
That kind of spirit and concentration is really cool, without losing a little carefulness.
In Tan Xueli's opinion, just watching the chef make it is already a pleasure.
The complete dish in front of him looks perfect for Tan Xueli.
But the result was that Su Lanxin said very seriously: "No, none of these can work. Chen Wei, can you be more serious? The key is that these practices are really too Western."
Chen Wei looked at Su Lanxin and said helplessly: "Don't forget that the ingredients we use need to use Western methods to highlight the taste more.
If you use domestic frying and stewing, can this steak be eaten? And these seafood are even more uneatable."
Su Lanxin shook her head and said, "No, Chen Wei, you don't understand what I mean. I am not going to let you do it in the domestic way, but to make them look more inclined toward the domestic style and have domestic elements."
After hearing Su Lanxin's words, Tan Xueli was already stunned because she didn't know what to do?
Su Liancheng thought for a while and said, "Mom, we don't have to pursue Chinese style. We can stick to our things. I think Dad's doing these things perfectly."
Su Lanxin looked at her son and said very seriously: "What do you know? Have you all forgotten the theme of our banquet?"
Chen Wei suddenly seemed to understand: "The theme of the banquet is Children's Day."
Su Lanxin then added: "The real theme of the banquet is Feng Ruoruo's birthday."
...
Interestingly, when discussing the theme of the Children's Day banquet here, Feng Yifan was also chatting with his wife and daughter in Su Ji's kitchen on the other side.
Su Ruoxi also asked curiously: "Is our theme Children's Day? Then do you need to have more children's elements in the dishes you cook?"
Feng Ruoru immediately said: "Yes, yes, dad, we children like what you want to do."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Our real theme is the birthday of a little girl."
When Feng Ruoru heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "It's Ruoru's birthday."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, it's Ruoru's birthday, but Ruoruo is also a little girl, so the theme is a little girl's birthday."
...
On the other hand, Chen Wei heard this and looked at Su Lanxin with some surprise, saying, "So what you mean is, the focus is on Ruoru's birthday?"
Su Lanxin nodded: "Yes, Feng Ruoruo's birthday."
Tan Xueli suddenly said: "That's simple, we can make it according to Feng Ruoruo's favorite taste."
Su Liancheng also felt it was reasonable and immediately gave an opinion: "I remember Ruoruo likes the various snacks her father made."
Tan Xueli said again: "Then we can make a dessert banquet, which can also attract the children in kindergartens. In this case, our Western style will definitely take advantage."
...
In Su Ji's kitchen, Feng Yifan asked his daughter with a smile: "So what does this little girl Ruoruo like?"
Feng Ruoruo thought for a while and said, "I like mom and dad, grandpa, grandpa."
When Su Ruoxi heard this, she was immediately happy: "Hahaha, dad isn't asking who you like, dad isn't asking what you like to eat?"
Feng Ruoru thought about it again and replied: "Ruoru likes...the desserts made by his father the most."
When Su Ruoxi heard his daughter's words, she smiled and said to her husband: "Don't you want to make a snack banquet for your daughter?"
But after another thought, Su Ruoxi felt that it seemed possible.
"Yes, you can make a dim sum banquet. All kinds of dim sum will definitely make children particularly like it. When the dim sum you make is popular, you will definitely win."
At this moment, Su Ruoxi might not have thought that some of her thoughts would coincide with the other side.
Chen Wei and Su Lanxin looked at each other for a moment, and thought about it carefully, and felt that it seemed to be possible.
Su Lanxin said: "Okay, then we will make dim sum, use various high-end ingredients to make dim sum, and make a variety of dim sum, and we will definitely win the love of all children."
Feng Yifan almost said at the same time with Su Lanxin: "Yes, since our Ruoru likes it, we can give them a snack banquet."
Su Ruoxi asked strangely: "Diet-snack banquet? Do you want to present all the past and present snacks?"
Feng Yifan smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, that will end up in the lower class. We will definitely not be able to beat our aunt and the others at that time."
Su Ruoxi curled her lips and said, "Then do you still say it?"
Then, Su Ruoxi asked strangely: "Not right? Didn't you say you don't care about winning or losing?"
Feng Yifan reached out and held his wife, replied with a smile: "You don't care about winning or losing, but you must pay attention to the chef. What's more, we want to celebrate Ruoru's birthday and make Ruoru kindergarten children have fun."
Su Ruoxi curled her lips again: "Let the children eat happily, just make snacks. They like to eat your snacks."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Dimsums must be made, but we cannot completely reproduce those snacks. We want to make all kinds of dishes into snacks."
