Chapter 727: Let the diners come to the door(1/2)

After Feng Yifan left, the women at the front desk naturally couldn't help but talk about him.

"Do you think this chef Feng is actually very handsome?"

"I don't look very handsome, but the temperament on them does make people feel comfortable. The gentle expression, although they are tall and mighty, will not give people a sense of oppression and make people feel very comfortable."

"By the way, have you watched the video of Chef Feng cooking online? I think Chef Feng stood there like a top chef after putting on the chef's clothes."

"I am a top chef, don't forget that I used to be the chef of our hotel headquarters restaurant."

"Yes, I heard from Xiao Wang in the back kitchen that the one-star menu in our hotel restaurant was left by Chef Feng."

"Wow, is that amazing? Is the one-star menu created by Chef Feng?"

"Well, that one-star menu is said to have been bought at a high price at the hotel headquarters."

“Does the menu cost money?”

"Of course, don't you spend money on the street to buy recipes?"

"That's right."

"What's more, that menu is not comparable to ordinary recipes. Chef Feng will hand over all the cooking process and various proportions and seasonings to the hotel."

"No wonder, our hotel restaurant has always kept that menu."

"Don't you know? I heard that at noon this day, Chef Feng was treating guests to the restaurant, and he cooked it himself."

"Wow, the chef is the chef, and he cooks it yourself when he goes out to eat."

"It's obvious that I cook in person to entertain important guests, right?"

"No, I heard, just because his daughter asked."

"Wow, Chef Feng really loves his daughter very much."

"Oh, it's a pity that they are already married and have such a cute daughter, so we don't have a chance."

"Don't be crazy. How can such a top chef like this? How can he fall in love with us casually?"

Wu Tongtong didn't participate too much in the chat between the women at the front desk. She was still thinking in her heart how to explain the situation to Luo Yu after get off work.

Feng Yifan left the hotel front desk, and he went upstairs again and returned to Shi Jiahui's room.

Because my daughter took a nap in the room, the two old men could only stay in Shijiahui's room.

Seeing Feng Yifan come back, Lu Xiyu stood up and smiled and said, "Our chef is finally back."

Feng Yifan responded with a smile when he heard this: "Uncle, you have ruined me. I dare not say that you are a chef, and I can't afford to stand up and greet you like this."

Quan Chengping said from the side: "Yifan, the dishes we had at noon today really opened our eyes. We were still chatting just now."

Lu Xiyu sat down and nodded and said, "Yes, we were just talking about, how did you think of those dishes?"

Feng Yifan replied with a smile: "Sometimes you may think about this in your daily life, and then you can take it out and try it when you need it."

Speaking of this, Feng Yifan also apologized to everyone: "I have never made the last two dishes at noon today, because the lobster and the side-tooth bass are too big and I feel that they can't be wasted. I finally made those two dishes to let everyone taste my trial works. I'm so embarrassed."

Everyone was surprised after hearing this. Was it just two test works?

Shi Tao couldn't help but say, "Uncle Yifan, your two test works are so amazing. If you do it seriously, wouldn't it taste even better?"

When Shi Jiahui heard his son's words, she immediately said, "What are you talking about? Do you think you, Uncle Yifan, will you not do it seriously when you try the work?"

Feng Yifan smiled: "Yes, even if you try the works, every dish must be carefully prepared."

Lu Xiyu and Quan Chengping further admired Feng Yifan.

The two are just conceived in the mind and are still in the trial stage. The first trial can have such a good effect. How confident is this to be achieved?

Lu Xiyu said, "Yifan, it seems that you are very confident in your cooking skills? You can achieve such an effect by just trying to cook dishes, and even let the hotel and restaurant directly purchase authorization. You are really amazing."

Quan Chengping nodded, "Yes, your confidence and cooking skills are really amazing."

Feng Yifan naturally knew very well that although these two dishes are not available yet, these two dishes are also two dishes that he will make in the future and have received praise. So it means that he copied his own menu in advance, but now he makes his own unique dishes in the future, which should not be considered copying.

Facing his two grandpas being very sincere and complimented at all, he naturally accepted it calmly.

"Thank you, my grandpa, for your enjoyment. Although I made those two dishes for the first time, every step of the cooking process is experienced by our predecessors, so the trial works presented have such effect."

Quan Chengping said: "The experience is indeed there, and everyone knows it, but it is not easy to be able to integrate it well."

Shi Jiahui nodded and said, "It's really not easy. The finished product of each dish requires multiple attempts."

Feng Yifan also agreed: "That's right, any dish needs to be tried many times and continuously improved to finally present what we expect and to satisfy the diners."

Speaking of this, Feng Yifan said again: "Sister Sister, you should know that there are some cooking exams abroad that require some improvisational performance on the spot."

Shi Jiahui said: "Well, I know this, and it does require the chef to improvise his ability."

Feng Yifan said: "How can we show the best dishes in improvisation? That is actually the result of a chef's usual efforts."

Everyone present understood that Feng Yifan seemed to try cooking dishes improvisedly, but it was also a manifestation of his cooking skills over the years.

Lu Xiyu thought about it and said again: "Yifan, are you really not considering opening a store in Shanghai?"

When Quan Chengping saw Lu Xiyu bringing up this matter again, he quickly said from the side: "Yes, if Yifan, you have financial needs, both of us can help you. We really think that if you can open a store in Shanghai, you should achieve higher achievements."

Feng Yifan smiled and shook his head: "Thank you two grandpas, but we probably won't come to Shanghai. If we want to truly achieve the ultimate dishes, we actually need to stay away from excessive prosperity and chaos."

Speaking of this, Feng Yifan looked at Shi Jiahui.

The latter also smiled and said, "Yes, I am willing to join Yifan's team, and I also want to work with Yifan to calm down and study and create some dishes. It is difficult to make it well if it is too utilitarian."

Feng Yifan and Shi Jiahui's attitudes seem very clear. They hope to concentrate on cooking.

Instead of just trying to come to Shanghai, using some of Feng Yifan's names to open a store to make money.

However, Lu Xiyu couldn't help but say, "But have you ever thought about it? If the price in Huaicheng is too high, it may not be possible to consume locally in Huaicheng, but if the price is too low, is it worth it if you spend so much effort?"

This time, Feng Yifan did not speak, but Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Uncle Yifan, we understand your kindness, but have you ever thought that we just want to make money, so why bother to spend so much effort to study the dishes?"

Lu Xiyu and Quan Chengping looked at each other, and they were really surprised that Shi Jiahui would say this.

Feng Yifan then explained: "If I just want to make money, I just need to get my Samsung menu back, then open restaurant branches in major cities across the country, and then recruit a group of capable chefs to let them learn how to make it from me and go to major cities to do it."

A sentence made Lu Xi'an and Quan Chengping speechless.

According to Feng Yifan, it seems that he can make more money.

To put it bluntly, that approach is to sell brand and fame.

But unlike the brand effects of clothing, at least the restaurant's menu is indeed a recognized Samsung menu, but it is not a menu creation chef himself.

Feng Yifan said again: "Why did my wife's grandfather choose to leave Beijing and return to Huaicheng to run a small restaurant?"

Lu Xiyan and Quan Chengping understood at this time.

This is not to make money, but to prepare the dishes well and to inherit the culture behind the dishes.

So what Feng Yifan has to do now is the same thing. He is not just to make money, but to inherit the things from his wife's ancestors, and to use what he has learned to improve and carry forward the tradition.

So, instead of opening various branches across the country, it is better to stay on the ancient streets of Huaicheng.

Always maintain the inheritance and operation of such a quaint small restaurant.

That's another way of business?

After all, if the reputation spreads, Feng Yifan's small restaurant will inevitably become a place for diners across the country and even around the world.

Feng Yifan finally smiled and said, "We want diners to come and find the shop, not us to find them."

After Lu Xiyu and Quan Chengping looked at each other, the two old men also remembered: some restaurants abroad that were very classic, received high praise, and even surpassed star ratings, are often not restaurants in downtown areas, nor are they restaurants that would open branches around the world at will.

From this point of view, Feng Yifan and his team's choice was not wrong.

This is also an absolute confidence.

My restaurant is unique, we don’t have branches, if you want to taste our dishes, you have to come to my restaurant. And we only make our own dishes and don’t cook the most popular dishes.

At the same time, the price of restaurants will not be as expensive as those branded restaurants in metropolitan cities.

Lu Xiyu and Quan Chengping, the two old men, understood that Feng Yifan and others were a group of people who pursued their cooking dreams.

Quan Chengping said: "I admire you very much. You are a group of people who dare to pursue higher dreams. Lao Lu, now I really want to say that it's great to be young."

Lu Xiyu also smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's great to be young, you dare to think and do it."

Shi Jiahui suddenly said, "Two grandpas, wouldn't you say this make me, the old man, seem out of place?"

Shi Tao immediately said, "Mom, you are just as young as you are, and you are not old."

Feng Yifan also said: "Yes, senior sister, why are you old? If it weren't for seniority there, I should have called you junior sister."

When Shi Jiahui heard this, she immediately glared at Feng Yifan: "Yifan, I found that Ruoxi is not here. You don't have a door in your mouth. Do you dare to call me junior sister in front of Ruoxi?"

Feng Yifan laughed dryly and said, "Senior Sister, let's not play this way."

Seeing Feng Yifan being cowardly, everyone couldn't help laughing.

In the following time, Feng Yifan and the others chatted with the two old men for a while.

Two little girls were sleeping in Feng Yifan and his daughter's room, while Yang Zhiyi was rushing to write the manuscript in his room.

At this moment, Yang Zhiyi once again tasted the hardship of a writer.
