Chapter 726 Continue to know the pastry chef
Feng Yifan repeated the dishes and asked everyone in the kitchen to taste them.
Walsh and Yu Quan were very grateful, and they were determined to let the hotel headquarters authorize the purchase of these two dishes.
After finishing the matter in the kitchen, Walsh and Yu Quan accompanied Feng Yifan out of another door in the kitchen and came out of the restaurant kitchen together.
The three of them were silent for a while, and Yu Quan said, "Chef Feng, if you really want to recruit Luo Yu, you may need to make a dessert that she cannot surpass for the time being, and you may also need to make her completely convinced you. Luo Yu is a very arrogant woman."
Feng Yifan looked at Yu Quan and asked, "Do you have a deep impression of her?"
Yu Quan nodded and said, "Yes, in fact, everyone in the kitchen of the restaurant has a deep impression of her. Not only because she successfully steals her skills, but she squeezes away her previous dessert masters, but more importantly, she is very cheerful in life and seems to be friends with anyone, but she is extremely serious when making snacks, and even some relatives don't recognize her relatives."
Through Yu Quan's account this time, Feng Yifan has a deeper understanding of Luo Yu.
Originally, Feng Yifan thought that Luo Yu might be a very arrogant person.
But from Yu Quan's account, Luo Yu is not only not a self-conceited person, but is a cheerful and very friendly person. She can get along well with all departments in the hotel.
Even some people at the hotel reception desk would receive some desserts she made herself at that time.
When she was studying, she would give her own desserts to many people to help her taste.
After that, she succeeded and would continue to give it to her, without any complacent and conceited because of her success.
Yu Quan said: "If you want to know her more, you can chat with a few girls at the front desk of the hotel. They are all Luo Yu's friends. They will pass by Luo Yu's current dessert shop after get off work and buy some desserts to take them home."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, thank you."
Walsh asked at this time: "Feng Yifan, are you really not coming to Shanghai? With your cooking skills, you will definitely become the leading chef in Shanghai. Even if your restaurant is open in every corner, it will be found by diners from all over the world, and the business will definitely be booming."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Do you think I still lack that money and reputation now?"
Walsh was speechless when asked.
Feng Yifan said again: "Walsh, you should see that life is what I want now, because I have more time to accompany my daughter, and I have a wife, parents and father-in-law at home, so I can't leave them behind and run to Shanghai to open a store."
Walsh understood that Feng Yifan’s focus is now on family.
"Then where is your restaurant now?"
Feng Yifan replied: "In Huaicheng, a small city that is not very developed."
Yu Quan immediately said: "I know that Huaicheng is also one of the birthplaces of Huaiyang cuisine. It can be regarded as a very cultural heritage. The menu selection of Chinese cuisine before seemed to be held in Huaicheng, which was a good start. Oh, by the way, Chef Feng, you went to the scene, right?"
Yu Quan finally remembered that he had always felt that he had seen and heard of Feng Yifan somewhere.
Now I finally remembered that the first stop of the Chinese cuisine menu selection held in Huaicheng was held in the previous session. Feng Yifan appeared at the finals and also made a Red House dish on the spot.
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, I went to the scene at that time, but in fact I was just pushed out. My uncle was also on the scene at that time, so he was considered a real master of the domestic cooking arts industry."
Yu Quan asked curiously: "Who is your uncle, Chef Feng?"
Feng Yifan said: "Mr. Zhuang Daozhong."
Yu Quan instantly felt awe.
"Ah, I know, Mr. Zhuang is a master of state banquet dishes in our country. I used to learn cooking as the first master of Mr. Zhuang. However, I am relatively stupid and have no chance to see Mr. Zhuang with my own eyes, let alone learn cooking with him."
Then Yu Quan asked curiously: "Chef Feng, your uncle is Mr. Zhuang Daozhong, so who is your master?"
Feng Yifan did not hide it: "Actually, my master is my father-in-law, my father-in-law's master, and his father, my wife's grandfather, Mr. Su Quansheng."
This time, Yu Quan was completely shocked, and he finally understood why Feng Yifan was able to make such an authentic eel three-eat.
"Chef Feng, no wonder you can learn things and integrate Eastern and Western cooking skills. It turns out that you have a family background. Mr. Su Quansheng was the first person at the state banquet at that time, and there is nothing in the domestic cooking industry who don't know about it."
Walsh asked curiously: "Why is Su Quansheng the one you mentioned called the number one person in the state banquet?"
Yu Quan said seriously: "I heard from my master that many of the dishes on the state banquet menu are finally determined by Mr. Su Quansheng at that time, and many of the cooking skills and the mixing of various flavors are also ordered by Mr. Su Quansheng."
Feng Yifan also said: "This is true. Because it is a state banquet, it needs to take care of the tastes of different groups and ensure healthy consumption. Therefore, cooking methods and seasoning need to be improved. Grandpa did make a lot of efforts in this regard, but he cannot be said to be the first person."
Yu Quan was very serious: "No, Mr. Su Quansheng is definitely the first person."
Feng Yifan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Grandpa is a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, otherwise he would not stay away from the hustle and bustle and return to his hometown to run his own small restaurant."
Yu Quan also said: "I have heard from my master that Mr. Su Quansheng later left the capital and returned to his hometown to run a small restaurant. It seems that the restaurant was passed down from Mr. Su's ancestors, and there is also a very rare old plaque."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, the restaurant was passed down from generation to generation by my wife, and the old plaque does exist."
Walsh exclaimed: "Oh, Feng Yifan, you really have a family background."
Feng Yifan responded: "That's my wife's house, but my wife has no brothers, so I can only inherit it. I have been abroad for five years and I also want to find the beauty of various countries. Now I have found it, so I want to come back to support my wife's old restaurant."
Yu Quan said: "Well, to put it this way, Chef Feng, you are like Mr. Su Quansheng at the time. After you have achieved success, you will go back to continue running a small restaurant."
Feng Yifan was said this and thought it was really the same.
"Actually, small restaurants are very good. In small places, there is not that much competition. You can study dishes more quietly and create more delicious foods that neighbors like."
After hearing this, Walsh and Yu Quan almost believed it.
If it weren't for knowing, Feng Yifan was going to invite two dim sum masters to his restaurant.
Walsh smiled and said, "No matter what, Chef Feng still hopes that his restaurant will be recognized, otherwise you don't have to travel far to Shanghai, right? And your goal is very clear, you are those two genius dessert masters."
Feng Yifan did not hide it: "Well, that's right. I hope my restaurant can bring the delicious food everyone wants, so we need to expand our talents so that some young chefs who are as ambitious as me can show their talents in my restaurant."
Walsh asked: "But if you don't want to get Samsung again, why would you invite two dessert masters like that?"
Feng Yifan replied calmly: "Because, only the two of them can create snacks that surpass three stars."
After a pause, Feng Yifan continued: "If our restaurant is to become a restaurant that can prove that Chinese cuisine will never lose to any Western cuisine, we don't need others to rate us because we are the standards and there is no need for the judgment of foodies."
At this moment, Walsh and Yu Quan finally saw Feng Yifan's true ambition.
He wanted to create a set of judgment criteria that belongs to Chinese cuisine.
Feng Yifan looked at the two of them in surprise and said with a smile: "When the business is opened, we welcome you to taste it. Maybe we may not be able to meet the Samsung standards, but we will definitely try our best to present the food that everyone will like."
Walsh and Yu Quan looked at each other, and then both agreed: "Well, we will definitely go and taste it."
Feng Yifan then said goodbye to the two of them and walked towards the front desk of the hotel lobby alone.
When we arrived at the hotel front desk, several reception staff in charge of the front desk immediately stood up to inquire.
"Mr. Feng, is there anything to serve you?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm not here to find fault. I just want to ask, do you know Luo Yu?"
I have to say that Feng Yifan's smiling face still made several front desk staff feel relieved.
Then when he heard him ask "Luo Yu", several people nodded again to express their understanding.
One of the cheerful service staff said: "Luo Yu was the dessert teacher in our hotel. She is very good and relies on self-study. However, even the dessert masters in the hotel were defeated and finally squeezed away by her."
Hearing the female front desk words, Feng Yifan asked with a smile: "Have you all eaten Luo Yu's dessert?"
Several people nodded together.
Feng Yifan continued to ask: "Do you think her desserts are different from the desserts you usually buy in other places?"
Several front deskmen looked at each other and didn't know how to answer for a while?
After a long time, the female front desk who was talking before said, "Luo Yu's desserts are not as sweet as those bought in the stores on our street, but her desserts will have some unique fragrance."
Feng Yifan asked: "Oh? What is the unique fragrance?"
The woman thought about it carefully and said, "Just like the Montbrown she made, it will have a strong chestnut fragrance, like eating whole chestnuts, and then the bread she made will have a strong wheat aroma. Although it is not very sweet, it tastes delicious, and we all like it."
Several other people also nodded, saying that they prefer eating Luo Yu's snacks.
Feng Yifan asked: "Will Luo Yu come to give you snacks now?"
The woman said, "Not now, because her store is very busy, but if we pass by after get off work, we will buy some, and sometimes we will buy them specifically."
Others agreed again, and even one who was not on the way would go and buy it.
Feng Yifan finally looked at the woman who had been answering and asked, "You have a good relationship with Luo Yu?"
This time, others helped answer: "She is Luo Yu's best friend. The two of them are high school classmates and have a good relationship. We received the snacks given by Luo Yu before, and they all benefited from her."
The woman immediately said, "No, Luo Yu obviously always takes one serving for each person."
Feng Yifan asked with a smile: "Can you ask, what is your name?"
The woman also answered generously: "My name is 'Wu Tongtong'. Luo Yu is indeed my best friend, Chef Feng, I heard that you want to invite Luo Yu to your restaurant? Are you going to open a top-notch restaurant in Shanghai?"
Feng Yifan laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, it may disappoint you. I won't open any top restaurants in Shanghai, but I do want to invite Luo Yu and Chen Xu to my restaurant together, but my restaurant is not a top restaurant, it's just a small restaurant."
Hearing this, Wu Tongtong was a little disappointed and said, "Chef Feng, you will definitely not be able to invite Luo Yu. She had said a long time ago that if you want to be a dessert chef in the restaurant, you must go to the top one."
Feng Yifan did not argue, but just smiled and said, "That can only be said that we do not have that fate, but some things are often not certain."
Then, Feng Yifan thought of Chen Xu, and he asked Wu Tongtong again: "You and Luo Yu are best friends, so what do you think of Chen Xu? Is he a good match for Luo Yu?"
Wu Tongtong is a straightforward woman, so her evaluation of Chen Xu is not concealed at all.
"Chef Feng, I actually don't like Chen Xu because he is very arrogant. Although our Yuyu really loses to him, sooner or later, our Yuyu will definitely defeat him. Then I will definitely let our Yuyu leave him."
When Feng Yifan heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "Why do you say that Luo Yu and Chen Xu have no relationship with each other? I heard that this is not the case?"
Wu Tongtong said seriously: "It was because there was no emotion, but Chen Xu deliberately lied to her in order to get Yu Yu."
Feng Yifan asked: "How did you cheat?"
Wu Tongtong continued: "He told Yu Yu that he was a master and apprentice of dim sum, and could teach Yu Yu's traditional dim sum, so that Yu Yu could understand the traditional Chinese dim sum skills, but in fact, those traditional dim sums can be compared with Western desserts."
After hearing what Wu Tongtong said, Feng Yifan also smiled bitterly in his heart.
This is obviously because I have never really tasted traditional handmade dim sum, so I feel that it is not as good as Western desserts.
Feng Yifan said: "In fact, traditional dim sum also needs some improvements in many cases. We must keep up with the progress of the times, combine tradition with modernity, and while not losing tradition, it can be more in line with the taste of modern people. This is what every cookie needs to pursue."
After hearing this, the women at the front desk seemed to understand it, but Wu Tongtong didn't understand it very much.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Thank you for telling me about Chen Xu and Luo Yu. When you have time to invite you to have some snacks, then you can do it first. I won't disturb you anymore."
After saying that, Feng Yifan turned around and left. The women at the front desk looked at his back, but still didn't understand what the purpose of his last words was.
Wu Tongtong had already decided in her heart that she would go to Luo Yu after getting off work today, convey the words, and ask Luo Yu what she meant.
