Chapter 902 Interview after business, wife's kiss(1/2)
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Ji ended its business on time.
With the experience of the previous two days, in fact, Su Ji had no more guests at this time, and there were not many people queuing up at the door.
On the contrary, many people noticed that Su Ji's business hours were coming soon and were queuing up to take out at the Lin Family Shop.
This also directly led to the fact that Su Ji stopped operating, while the takeout on Lin’s shop continued for another half an hour.
Because some people have paid, they can only work for half an hour.
Feng Yifan didn't care about that, but gave the take-out window of Lin's shop to three apprentices, Chen Xu, Luo Yu and others. Su Ji had a waiter responsible for cleaning and finishing, and Zhao Daxia also led people to clean the house behind, so Feng Yifan didn't need to ask about it.
Later, if the restaurant ended business, Hans and Tom also went to the take-out window of Lin's shop to help.
With so many people helping, it is only half an hour to get the take-out order done.
As for Feng Yifan, Shi Jiahui and Shi Jinbin, three seconded apprentices, including Catherine and Su Liancheng, and a group of people sitting in the cleaning, Su Ji and Feng Yifan were formally interviewed by Li Feier.
Li Feier's interview this time is different from the previous online videos of Meng Shitong and the others.
This time, Li Feier came to interview on TV, so it was more formal.
After the opening remarks, Li Feier was also very serious and first congratulated Feng Yifan for letting Su Ji reopen and achieving such a good business today.
"Congratulations to Chef Feng, it seems that Su Ji's business is so hot now, it should be your credit. You really make us look at you with admiration. Even when people in Huaicheng mention you and Su Ji, they will feel that it is our Huaicheng's pride."
Feng Yifan responded with a smile: "Thank you for your love, I can only say that my team and I have done what a chef should do, not as everyone exaggerated."
Li Feier said: "Chef Feng, you are so humble."
Next, Li Feier began to ask questions in her way.
"Chef Feng, this is true. Many people are saying that you are a retro craft among Chinese chefs. The various dishes you make are very consistent with the traditional taste and always adhere to that tradition. Do you think this statement is accurate?"
Feng Yifan thought about it and answered seriously: "I don't think this statement is very accurate."
Next, he also explained his point of view towards the camera.
"I always believe that the key to food is that it tastes delicious and can meet the taste of the public, so that diners can feel a sense of happiness in their taste. As for whether it is traditional? Whether it is adhered to tradition is not that important."
Everyone present nodded in agreement when Feng Yifan said this.
Feng Yifan continued: "Traditional practices must have been tried and tried, so they can be passed down forever. This is also a reason.
But now that we have new impacts, we cannot be self-satisfied. Instead, we need to make new attempts to adapt to some changes today, such as the impact of Western food entering the country, and some changes in tastes of young people.
As a chef, you cannot not stick to that tradition, but you cannot stick to tradition."
These words still won everyone's frequent nods, and they all agree with these views.
Li Feier asked again: "Chef Feng, what is Su Ji's positioning?"
Feng Yifan replied with a smile: "Su Ji has no specific positioning.Su Ji has its own rules. It has a traditional side, but it also has a very fashionable side.Su Ji will have new changes, and we will continue to innovate, so that diners can taste more different flavors inSu Ji."
Li Feier continued to ask: "So Chef Feng, who do you think among the many dishes in Su Ji, which one of the most representative Su Ji?"
Feng Yifan replied: "Actually, every dish in Suji can be regarded as Suji's signature dish. Of course, if you have to choose one dish, then I will definitely launch the Suzao Banquet that best represents Suji. Among them, various Suzao dishes are the dishes that best represent Suji."
Li Feier was a little curious: "Oh? Su Zai Banquet? What kind of banquet is that?"
Feng Yifan explained seriously.
"Su Zao Banquet is a banquet passed down by Su Ji's ancestors. It was once a banquet in the palace, but many of the dishes have been lost. I also studied with my father-in-law for a long time before I found clues from the recipes of the Su family's ancestors and gradually recovered.
The most important thing about Su Zaoyan is Su Zao soup, which is a braised soup with different ratios in all seasons. You can add soy sauce or white braised. The various dishes produced have a unique taste, and the taste is really delicious.
Of course, Su Zaoyan is far more than that, there are also various shapes and corresponding tableware to match, but we have not fully recovered for the time being."
Feng Yifan also told about some of the history of Su Zaiyan and some of the things from the ancestors of the Su family.
This was the first time Li Feier heard that, and even everyone present was very surprised.
Li Fei'er knew that the old plaque of Su Ji was passed down by his ancestors and it was indeed a long time ago. Now, after Feng Yifan said this, she has completely understood the inheritance of the old plaque.
"Chef Feng, you really surprised me. I didn't expect that Su Ji's ancestors were the imperial chefs of the palace, and even had a palace banquet dish like Su Zaoyan."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Actually, those are already history. Su Ji's ancestors, that is, my wife's grandfather, never thought of borrowing the names of their ancestors, so for us younger generations, we naturally don't want to borrow the names of their ancestors.
The reason why I worked hard to restore Su Zao Banquet was that I hope more people could taste those dishes.
I will also make some improvements to make the taste more suitable for everyone's current taste.
In a word, Su Ji’s goal is always to make delicious food, and to dedicate the food to every diner so that every diner can taste the delicious food.”
Li Feier praised: "Chef Feng really never forgets his original intention."
Then Li Feier began to ask questions about the business of Su Ji Heruo restaurants.
Feng Yifan also tried his best to give appropriate answers.
When asked about Ruo Restaurant, Li Feier asked directly: "Chef Feng, there are actually some people on the Internet that Ruo Restaurant is not a real Western food because it does not belong to any Western food. Some people even think that your Ruo Restaurant is a bit inappropriate, what do you think?"
Feng Yifan laughed, and he laughed very happily, even with a hint of mockery.
"Actually, I am not an authentic Western restaurant, because I have improved every dish in the restaurant to make the taste of those dishes more in line with the taste of the Chinese people. Of course, if it is some foreign guests, I will make some adjustments.
And I have never said that if the restaurant is an authentic Western restaurant.
It can be said that if the restaurant is a Western-style restaurant, as for whether it is authentic, I think this question is different.
If you have to be serious, then I think it is not enough to eat in a restaurant.
Because there are too many well-known Western restaurants at home and abroad, and there are also many three-star restaurants to try, so there is no need to come to Ruo Restaurant to eat."
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, Li Feier was a little amused and crying.
"Okay, Chef Feng is really not giving in at all. He is really a tough temper."
Then, Li Feier asked again: "So Chef Feng, are you not worried about being boycotted like this? Or will many people really choose not to come to Ruo Restaurant or even Su Ji Food?"
Feng Yifan said with a smile: "The choice of restaurant is everyone's freedom. I have no right to interfere with the choice of diners. I have always said that as long as I come to my two restaurants, I will definitely dedicate the deliciousness to every diner.
But whether or not it is the diner's own choice, so I will not interfere, nor will I beg diners to come to my door."
Li Feier was still very satisfied with Feng Yifan's toughness, so she naturally looked up to Feng Yifan.
But she still said: "Chef Feng really doesn't make any concessions."
Then Li Feier looked at Su Ruoxi and asked, "Boss, I want to ask you, will you support your husband as being a little willful and tough?"
Su Ruoxi didn't expect Li Feier to suddenly ask her questions.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "I don't think there is any problem. My husband is right. Diners' choice lies in themselves. We cannot force it, and we will not plead.
If everyone thinks that Su Ji and I don’t have the right food for their taste, then they won’t come. Anyway, we are too busy now. If we can reduce the number of customers, I don’t think my husband will have to work so hard and can have more time to accompany his beloved daughter.”
Su Ruoxi's words made everyone in Su Ji speechless.
However, after a brief quiet, everyone couldn't help but smile.
While laughing, Shi Jiahui and the others gave Su Ruoxi a thumbs up.
Even Li Feier was outside the camera and quietly gave Su Ruoxi a thumbs up.
With everyone's support, Su Ruoxi is more confident.
"During this period, in the eyes of many people, Su Ji Heruo Restaurant has become famous, which has led to the hot business of Su Ji Heruo Restaurant. We should be very happy because the business is booming and we can make more money.
But in fact, we are very distressed because, as my husband said, they hope to bring delicious food to everyone, and delicious food requires constant research and innovation, but now they don’t have time to do these things.
Our business is so good, my husband and they have also become very hard.
As a wife, I don't actually want to see such a husband.
I hope my husband can accompany us more, make my daughter happy, and take me and my daughter to enjoy our family life."
Su Ruoxi said it was sincere and expressed her friendship with her husband in front of the camera.
The eyes of her husband were filled with deep love and a hint of guilt.
In fact, in Su Ruoxi's heart, she really felt a little guilty towards her husband now.
She even regretted it now, regretting that she promised her husband to help her father revive Su Ji.
Because she felt that her husband was really hard.
This is not what Su Ruoxi originally hoped.
At this moment, Su Ruoxi's emotional outburst also instantly touched the people present. Everyone looked at Su Ruoxi with some excitement, and her eyes full of tears.
Everyone knows that his wife is really feeling sorry for her husband.
Feng Yifan stood up, walked over and hugged his wife in one go.
"Okay, why are you doing so excited? We are not very ordinary interviews? After all, those who say we are bad are a few. Just look at our business so good, you will know that most of us support us."
Su Ruoxi was in her husband's arms and finally couldn't help crying.
"But, what they said is really annoying. How could they say that? You have spent so much effort in the restaurant and you created every dish yourself. Why should you accept their slander?"
When Li Feier saw this situation, she also asked the cameraman to temporarily stop shooting.
She said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect that the questions I asked would actually make you so excited by Mom Ruoruo."
Feng Yifan hugged his wife, turned his head and said to Li Feier: "It's okay."
