Chapter 451 Don't Forget to Make Desserts for My Daughter(1/2)
After the business was open at noon, the remaining elderly people sat in the restaurant and enjoyed the quiet afternoon.
Su Liancheng and Mei Ru went to the kitchen together and specifically discussed it with Feng Yifan separately, and went to Fujinglou to be Gu Ke.
Listen to Su Liancheng and Mei Ru about the current situation in Fujinglou.
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said directly: "Actually, even if I don't go there, you should be able to run it well. My aunt's company has left a complete set of very professional teams, and it is definitely more than enough to continue to operate Fujinglou."
Su Liancheng sighed and said, "I know that according to our current company situation, we can support Fujinglou, but I don't want to maintain the status quo in this way.
I took over the company from my mother, and I can't let the company just maintain the status quo. This is a failure for Meiru and me. Moreover, there are shareholders in the company. They have to depend on our achievements. Even Fujinglou can't be well-known for its business, so the shareholders will lose confidence in us."
Feng Yifan nodded. He actually understood the difficulties faced by Su Liancheng and Mei Ru.
Simply put, as the next operators, they need to achieve better performance.
However, the current acquisition plan of Fujinglou has not been able to further open its reputation due to the existence of Feng Yifan and Su Ji.
As a result, Fujinglou gradually became a little useless.
If you increase your investment, it seems that it is better to open a chain restaurant directly.
We continued to operate Fujinglou, but the subsequent positioning of Fujinglou was a little blurred.
Feng Yifan thought for a while and said, "In fact, Fujinglou has the advantage of geographical advantages. The scenery by the lake alone is enough to support Fujinglou's business. At least those who come to Huaicheng naturally choose to go to Fujinglou to see the scenery, and then taste some of the dishes of Fujinglou."
Su Liancheng nodded: "This is true, but it is not enough to rely solely on the scenery of Fujinglou."
When Feng Yifan heard this, he smiled and said, "It seems that your ambitions are still very great?"
Su Liancheng smiled awkwardly: "Brother-in-law, Fujinglou is actually equivalent to yours now. You will also want to turn Fujinglou into a well-known restaurant in Huaicheng, right?"
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "I don't want to, I want Su Ji to become famous even more."
The very straightforward answer made Su Liancheng even more embarrassed.
Or Mei Ru said: "Chef Feng, Fujinglou and Suji are different in positioning, so there is no competitive relationship between Fujinglou and Suji."
Feng Yifan looked at Mei Ruke curiously: "Is the positioning different? I think the existence of Fujinglou is an impact on Suji."
Mei Ru continued: "No, Su Ji's future positioning will be your Chef Feng, or an old store with a century-old heritage. It can go to a more high-end, booking-style model to enhance the overall taste, and even as a symbol of inheritance, it is your store."
After a pause, Meiru continued: "And Fujinglou can be used as an internet celebrity store you guide."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised when he heard this: "What does it mean?"
Meiru continued: "In other words, Fujinglou is also your store, but it is not the store you are staying in person, but as a store that welcomes more tourists and diners and is aimed at the public."
Hearing Mei Ru say this, Feng Yifan suddenly understood.
This model is not new, and some internationally renowned chefs will do it.
They will open many restaurants of different styles, different tastes and levels to welcome diners of different levels, and the other one can also facilitate the cultivation of disciples.
Because if there is only one store, it is impossible for the disciples to be with you forever.
After opening multiple stores, you can let your disciples go to other stores and better promote your own dishes.
Thinking of this, Feng Yifan nodded and said, "This statement is very good. Fujinglou is a store I guided. Some of my dishes can be tasted in Fujinglou, but I don't cook myself. This can relieve too much pressure from the people in Suji."
Su Liancheng quickly said, "Brother-in-law, that's it, so you must help and think of a solution."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "The solution is actually very simple. After the competition in Fujinglou is over, the champion can become the chef of Fujinglou."
This method shocked Su Liancheng and Mei Ru.
After thinking about it, both of them thought it was a very good idea.
With the attention of this competition, the champion became the chef of Fujinglou. This will directly increase the popularity of Fujinglou and take the opportunity to promote another wave of Fujinglou, which will also attract more people to go to Fujinglou to taste.
Feng Yifan then said: "As for the menu, I can give you a serving and add a few dishes I created, which should meet your needs, right?"
Su Liancheng was a little excited: "Okay, it's so great."
Mei Ru was not so excited, but said regretfully: "If Chef Feng, you can go and cook in person, it would be really perfect. It will definitely increase Fujinglou to another level."
Feng Yifan looked at Mei Ru, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Ms. Mei is indeed a celebrity around her aunt. Her business philosophy is really amazing. She is thinking about how to use others anytime and anywhere. She is really similar to her aunt, but you have to think about other people's feelings."
After hearing this, Mei Ru quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I just said that."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "When the old street is closed, I will put up the stall and I will go to Fujinglou to take a look."
When Su Liancheng heard this, he nodded and said, "Okay, we are waiting for you to come by my brother-in-law."
Mei Ru thought for a while: "Chef Feng, who thinks will win this game in the end?"
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "I don't know this. I think the 16 people who advanced to the rematch also have their own characteristics. It is true that I can't tell who can win for the time being, but I think that in the subsequent games, a few amateurs should be eliminated."
Mei Ru was a little surprised: "What? Chef Feng, don't you be optimistic about those folk masters?"
Feng Yifan laughed: "It's not that I'm not optimistic about folk masters, but the strength of several people who entered the rematch is not yet enough to be called folk masters."
Mei Ru felt that Feng Yifan was a little harsh: "Chef Feng, isn't you a little harsh when you say this?"
Feng Yifan continued to smile and said, "I am not harsh at all. I think that folk masters will at least not imitate my method, but will stick to their own cooking methods. If they don't even dare to stick to their own cooking methods, how can they become folk masters?"
Hearing this, Mei Ru was speechless for a moment. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was indeed the case.
The so-called folk masters do have their own unique skills.
But during this competition, it can be said that except for Qi Deqiang and Zhang Fenglin, everyone else had obvious signs of imitating Feng Yifan.
Including several non-professional contestants, they also tried to imitate Feng Yifan on purpose or not.
This imitation has led to them not saying that they are surpassing, and it is impossible to be comparable to Feng Yifan.
In fact, Feng Yifan also had his thoughts in his mind. The reason why he made suggestions to Su Liancheng and Mei Ru was because he felt that Zhang Fenglin might be able to win.
So according to Feng Yifan, letting the champion become the chef of Fujinglou is equivalent to letting Zhang Fenglin return to Fujinglou.
Even if you are a chef in this way, you will be subject to some restrictions and it is impossible to really control the kitchen. At least you can make Zhang Fenglin shine and heat further, and make Zhang Fenglin regain confidence.
The most important point is that if Zhang Fenglin wins the championship, he will return to Fujinglou to be the chef again.
He will definitely gain a reputation, and it will be even smoother to run his own restaurant later.
This is a little benefit Feng Yifan has obtained for that senior brother.
After chatting for a while, Feng Yifan said, "Okay, two of you, should you go back? I know you two must be very busy, and I have to start busy too. I want to make snacks for our little babies, so please come back. Remember to supervise and arrange the place where we set up a stall."
When Su Liancheng and Mei Ru saw Feng Yifan expelling the guest, they had no choice but to leave.
Before leaving, Mei Ru said, "Chef Feng, please rest assured. I will ask someone to urge the temporary stalls to arrange them to ensure that you can be unblocked by rain or shine."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, please trouble you."
After seeing off Su Liancheng and Mei Ru, Feng Yifan began to prepare snacks for his daughter in the kitchen.
Shortly after Su Ruoxi saw Su Liancheng and Meiru away, she also came to the kitchen.
Seeing that her husband was already preparing to make snacks, she immediately came to her husband and said, "We're finally leaving. Now we can start making snacks for Ruru and others."
Seeing his wife's eagerness to try, Feng Yifan couldn't help but smile and said, "You can't wait."
When she was in front of her husband, Su Ruoxi would no longer look like a big woman.
He turned into a little woman decisively, pouting and saying, "You didn't look at the time. You agreed to make snacks for Ruruo and the others, but as soon as you chat with Su Liancheng and the others, you forgot everything. What snacks did Ruruo and the others get up like this?"
Feng Yifan reached out and pulled his wife over and said, "Okay, my wife taught her a lesson."
Su Ruoxi then said: "Then what snack do you want to make for your daughters and the others today?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Time is a bit tight today, so let's make them a simpler traditional snack."
When Su Ruoxi heard this, she became even more curious.
Because every time my husband says it is simple, it may not be that simple in the end.
Feng Yifan pointed to the ingredients on the cooking table and introduced: "Today we will make a Poria cake that can be eaten by children and the elderly outside."
The ingredients of Poria cocos cake are indeed not complicated, including rice flour, glutinous rice flour, and Poria cocos powder.
Then Feng Yifan prepared white sesame seeds, some white sugar, some crushed peanuts, some dried osmanthus, and a few boxes of milk.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It's a pity that it's not the season, otherwise we can make some osmanthus sauce and put it in, which will make it more fragrant when steamed."
Seeing the materials prepared by her husband, Su Ruoxi felt that today's this may be really simple.
"Okay, let's start quickly, otherwise Ruruo and the others will really wake up later."
Seeing his wife urging, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Okay, start now."
First, mix glutinous rice and poria cake into the rice flour, and the approximate ratio is 10 to 1.
After mixing the three kinds of powders, Feng Yifan began to slowly add milk to it.
At this point, Su Ruoxi felt that it was not that simple.
Because the husband needs to add milk slowly, but he must keep stirring to ensure that the milk and three kinds of powder are mixed, and at the same time, the powder cannot be completely solidified.
"Look, add it slowly to ensure that the powder has humidity but will not stick."
After adding about two or three boxes of milk, Feng Yifan grabbed a handful of mixed powder with his hands and could hold it into a ball in his hand, but it was not the way it would stick into dough.
"That's fine, but we'll have to sift it over the next step."
