Chapter 935 The restaurant meeting, the chef's past(1/2)
Feng Yifan took his family to enjoy the leisurely life without sun and moon in the mountains. At Suji and Ruo restaurants in the city, everyone finally finished their day opening.
Usually, after closing in the evening, Feng Yifan summons everyone to a brief meeting.
Although Feng Yifan was not here today, Shi Jiahui and Katherine still led everyone to a meeting.
Of course, Feng Yifan is not here tonight, but Su Jinrong is there.
According to Feng Yifan's usual procedures, Shi Jiahui first roughly explained some of the business situations of the day, and then asked Catherine to tell the situation of the restaurant next door.
Although Feng Yifan was not here, he announced the rest in advance.
However, because of the reputation accumulated during the National Day holiday, neither Ruo Restaurant nor Su Ji's business has been affected much.
After everyone introduced the situation, Su Jinrong also explained the income of the two restaurants this day.
Basically, if the daily income of the restaurant is fixed, it is the way to book.
The daily revenue will fluctuate, which is Su Ji's side.
Su Jinrong also took over the settlement of the accounts today and announced the final revenue. Judging from the weekend, Su Ji's revenue still showed an increase.
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "After listening to today's revenue, I believe everyone should be more confident, right? Even if your chef is not here, you still have done a very good job, and it has not made Su Ji's business worse."
Everyone was very happy to hear it, and felt that the efforts they had made were not in vain.
But Shi Jiahui also made some reminders: "Don't be too happy. The reason why the revenue has not changed much today is first because of the weekend and secondly because of the chef's absence. Many people may not have learned about it at the first time."
After hearing this, Su Jinrong quickly said, "Jiahui, what you said is wrong. I know that Yifan has announced the rest in advance."
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Indeed, our chef announced it in advance, but some people still don't know about it. Today, someone asked the chef why he was not here?"
Su Liancheng stood up and said, "Indeed, someone has asked specifically today."
Hans of the Ruo Restaurant also said: "Yes, someone asked."
Su Jinrong continued: "But no matter what, your performance is still very good. In my opinion, each of you is perfect. You really don't have to worry too much about whether Yifan is in this matter."
Shi Jiahui continued: "Uncle Master said nothing wrong, don't think too much. I remind you just hope that everyone will not relax, but continue to work hard. We must maintain the reputation established by the chef, and we can relax in all aspects."
Lin Ruifeng said: "Don't worry, Master, we will definitely not relax."
Ning Cheng also nodded seriously.
After talking about business matters, Su Jinrong looked at Chen Xu and Luo Yu and said, "You two should take advantage of your advantages, especially Chen Xu. I think you should take out your free kung fu."
Chen Xu nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay uncle, I will definitely work hard."
In terms of seniority, the state banquet-level dim sum master that Chen Xu learned was indeed the same as Su Jinrong, so Su Jinrong also asked Chen Xu to call his uncle.
However, this made Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng a little embarrassed.
Because they really count according to their seniority, they will call Chen Xu "Uncle Master" in the future.
However, Chen Xu also thought of this, so he also told everyone that they still have their own opinions.
In this way, Chen Xu called Su Jinrong "Uncle Master".
He and Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng still interact with each other as their peers.
When Su Jinrong heard Chen Xu say that he would work hard, he smiled and shook his head: "Chen Xu, you don't understand what I mean. You have to understand. Who said that snacks cannot be made into a table? Don't always think that you are the supporting role. You have to show your skills and become the protagonist."
These words made Chen Xu stunned.
Su Jinrong continued: "We Su Ji, although it is a restaurant, since you are here, we can't just show off our snacks."
Chen Xu still didn't understand and asked a little bit: "Uncle Master, what do you mean?"
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "It's almost late autumn now, and some special snacks can be made, and you can add a separate page on the menu."
Hearing this, Chen Xu finally understood what the old man meant.
Shi Jiahui also smiled and said, "Hahaha, it's still the uncle who will arrange it. Chen Xu, you have to hurry up and list some snacks, and see what you need to purchase? Then give me a list and we will buy it for you."
Su Jinrong nodded and said, "Yes, I'll buy it for you, and I'll add that page on the menu."
Chen Xu finally understood and nodded excitedly: "Okay, I, can I write down all the palace snacks taught by my master?"
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Hahaha, of course we have to write it up. We also need to let others know that those palace snacks can not only be eaten in the capital, but also in our Su Ji. Of course, some Jiangnan snacks have to be added."
Shi Jiahui said: "I think it's possible to make a separate menu of dim sum and list various dim sums in categories."
When Chen Xu said this, he became more and more excited.
Over the past few days, this has finally come to his business.
Seeing Chen Xu talking more and more excited, Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Are you all afraid of your chefs? Why didn't anyone dare to tell him directly before with such good suggestions?"
These words made everyone present look at each other.
After a long time, Shi Jiahui said, "Uncle Master, don't talk about them, don't talk about them. Actually, I'm a little afraid of Yifan."
After hearing this, Su Jinrong asked curiously: "Oh? Why? Yifan doesn't seem to be serious in normal times? Compared to me, his temper is obviously much better than I did in the past."
Shi Jiahui said: "Uncle Master, that's what you saw. If you don't believe it, you can ask Xiaolin, Xiaoma and Xiaoning. When Yifan teaches them, the three of them will think that their master is not serious? Do you think that their master has a good temper?"
These words stopped Lin Ruifeng, Ma Xiaolong and Ning Cheng.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment?
Shi Jiahui saw that the three people were in a difficult position and finally chose Ma Xiaolong: "Then Xiaolong said that you are the one who has been with your master for the longest time."
Ma Xiaolong hesitated for a moment and looked at everyone.
Finally, he said to Shi Jiahui: "Well, can we say it first? You can't tell my master what I said today."
Everyone was happy to see Ma Xiaolong's cautious look.
However, everyone agreed to Ma Xiaolong and said that they would definitely not pass on a message to Feng Yifan.
Su Jinrong also said: "I am the decision. If anyone dares to pass on the message casually, I will not be able to spare him then."
With Su Jinrong's words, Ma Xiaolong finally started to speak.
"Actually, I have told you before, and Catherine, Hans and Tom, and I have also said that my master is a very fierce person, especially in the kitchen of the Perrvonce restaurant, he was once called the 'Kitchen Tyrant'."
I roughly introduced it to you again, and Ma Xiaolong gave Su Jinrong an example.
“I still remember the first time I cooked with the chef, and it was when the chef saw me performing well and gave me such an opportunity to make an appetizer.
But I was too nervous at the time, and the amount of seasoning I put was not controlled properly.
As a result, the chef immediately smashed the plates after tasting them."
Hearing that he smashed the plate, Luo Yu couldn't help but ask: "Did you scold you so much?"
Ma Xiaolong said with a bitter look on his face: "If I really scolded me, it would be fine."
That time, Feng Yifan smashed the plate and did not scold Ma Xiaolong.
Instead, I made another appetizer and asked someone to send it to me.
The whole day after that, Feng Yifan didn't say a word to Ma Xiaolong, nor did he ask him to touch on cooking anymore. Ma Xiaolong could only continue to do the miscellaneous work in the kitchen.
Until, after closing in the evening, when Ma Xiaolong was cleaning up his things, Feng Yifan blocked him.
"At that time, the chef pointed out my problem very harshly and said directly: You should not make low-level mistakes. If even the most basic low-level mistakes cannot be avoided, it means that I have no intention of becoming a chef at all, and I am not suitable to be a chef at all.
The chef finally said: If it is not suitable to be a chef, then get out of the kitchen quickly and don’t take up space in the kitchen.”
After hearing this, Su Jinrong couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Yifan is still a bit heavy to say this."
When Feng Yifan was not around today, through chatting with everyone, Su Jinrong also learned some of everyone’s true feelings about Feng Yifan.
It can be said that everyone present admired Feng Yifan very much and even regarded him as an idol.
But equally, everyone present was a little afraid of him.
Of course, Shi Jiahui should be an exception, and she still admires Feng Yifan more.
The reason why everyone is afraid is that they always feel that when they are in front of Feng Yifan, they seem to be shorter than him.
Ma Xiaolong said seriously: "Master always gives people a feeling that is out of reach, as if we can't catch up with him even if we spend our entire life."
When Su Jinrong heard this, he looked at the expressions that everyone agreed with, and finally smiled and said, "You guys, it's really a bit too deified. Let me tell you. When Yifan was apprenticing with me, he was not only scolded by me, but also beaten by me."
Seeing that everyone was curious, and Su Jinrong felt that there were not many cases of her son-in-law being away, so she simply said a little more.
When Feng Yifan started to learn cooking, he might be the kind of person who is not very talented.
At that time, I didn’t know how many times I had cut my hands just by practicing knife skills.
Especially for a while, Feng Yifan would definitely cut his hand every time he accelerated.
Even once again, I almost cut off my fingers.
For this matter, Su Jinrong scolded Feng Yifan a lot.
"At that time, your chef was really stupid in my eyes. I scolded him in all kinds of ways, and there were even a few times when I wanted to drive him out of the sect."
When everyone heard Su Jinrong talk about Feng Yifan when he was studying cooking in the past, they all found it very interesting.
Especially through Su Jinrong's account, everyone learned for the first time that Feng Yifan was the same as everyone else.
When I was learning to cook, I also experienced some difficult times.
