Chapter 943 Ning Cheng commented, breaking the standard(1/2)
Feng Yifan was still very good at coaxing the children, so the three little girls were finally coaxed by him to go home.
After all the children left, Feng Yifan stayed in Suji, waiting for Suji and Ruo restaurant to finish business, and packed up with everyone to complete the cleaning of the two restaurants.
Although he wanted to participate in the kitchens of the two families at the beginning, he was rejected by Shi Jiahui and Katherine.
Shi Jiahui said directly: "I think since we are chefs, we should finish these two days well, and we may not have any chance to be chefs after that."
Feng Yifan immediately smiled and said, "Sister Sister, you are polite. As long as you want, you can be the chef at any time. I can abdicate and give in to the wise."
Shi Jiahui said: "It's better to be good. Catherine and I can't afford it. We're so tired."
Feng Yifan waited until the last table of guests at Su Ji left, and then cleaned the two restaurants with everyone before letting everyone gather at Su Ji for a meeting.
It was still everyone there, whether it was the kitchen or the waiter in front, they were all standing in Su Ji.
Su Jinrong naturally stayed, and the old man also had a lot to say.
Feng Yifan did not say a summary this time, nor did he ask Shi Jiahui and Katherine to do anything like a job report, but said to everyone: "Let's do this, today everyone can speak freely and talk about some of their experiences over the past two days."
Hearing this, everyone present looked at each other and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing that everyone was hesitant, Feng Yifan smiled and said to Ning Cheng: "Then start with Ning Cheng."
Ning Cheng was stunned by his name after being named by his master.
After a while, Ning Cheng came back to his senses and asked, "Master, why should we start with me? I, I didn't even think about it."
Feng Yifan said: "Don't think about it, just say whatever you have. Just say some of your thoughts. The reason for starting with you is that you are my apprentice, so start with you."
Ning Cheng could only say in the end.
"Master, I think during the two days when you are away, Su Ji and Ruo restaurants seem to be missing the backbone. Although Master and Soft Chef Catherine are both very good and can cook the dishes on the menu very well, I think there are still some things missing."
Speaking of this, Ning Cheng paused for a moment and looked at Shi Jiahui and Katherine.
He also bowed respectfully to the two of them.
"Master, sous chef Katherine, I know you two have indeed made great efforts, but I think you two are a little too deliberately trying to complete the dishes my master cooks, so you lack your own characteristics. I don't think you two should be like that."
After Ning Cheng finished speaking, Feng Yifan knocked him with a smile.
"What do you know? You guys don't even learn the cooking skills, so you start talking to the two sous chefs about the backbone? Do you know what the backbone is? Do you know how much effort your uncle and sous chef Catherine have put in every dish?
You are qualified to speak out here. I'll let you say it first. Is there anyone who asks you to say this?"
Feng Yifan's lesson made Ning Cheng retreat and dare not say anything else.
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became a little depressing.
Everyone didn't even dare to let it go if they were a little bit arrogant.
Moreover, everyone looked at Shi Jiahui and Katherine intentionally or unintentionally, and was still worried that they would be affected by Ning Cheng's words.
After a while of silence, Feng Yifan saw that the atmosphere was really depressed. He wanted to ease it and was about to speak a few words.
But Shi Jiahui took the lead and said, "Hahaha, I really didn't expect that today I was told by my nephew who had not yet graduated. But I really want to say that Ning Cheng should be right."
Feng Yifan originally wanted to say something, but was stopped by Shi Jiahui.
"Yifan, don't talk, let me tell you next."
Feng Yifan had to stop talking, and then Shi Jiahui also spoke directly.
"To be honest, it's not because of Ning Cheng's words, but because of Yifan, you were deliberately making things difficult for you after you came back, which made me realize that I have really lacked one thing in cooking these two days, and that's my own idea.
In the past, whether I was studying cooking with my father or later studying and working alone in various places, I would have my own ideas and incorporate my ideas into cooking.
But this time, I have completely lost myself these two days. I keep trying to imitate Yifan, trying to make every dish on the menu like Yifan, when you are there, I understand now that I am deviating from it."
After hearing Shi Jiahui's words, Catherine nodded and said, "It's true that we deviated from our original intention."
Seeing that the two of them were feeling a little depressed, Feng Yifan quickly said, "Okay, senior sister, Catherine, don't listen to Ning Cheng. In fact, you have helped me support the two restaurants. We can slowly improve those shortcomings in the future."
At this time, Su Jinrong suddenly spoke.
"Jia Hui, Katherine, you two don't need to do this. You have done a good job. If you hadn't worked hard in these two days, Su Ji and Ruo's restaurants might have been shut down in these two days, so you don't have to underestimate yourself."
Then, Su Jinrong looked at Ning Cheng and said, "As for Xiao Ning, what he said does make sense, but it is not entirely reasonable.
Perhaps every chef should indeed retain his personality, but the characteristics of Suji and Ruo restaurants should still be retained, and some of the retained characteristics can only be more conservative, stick to the founding of the chef and give diners the inherent taste.
So Xiao Ning, you can’t say that your master and Catherine have done badly in the past two days, let alone that they have lost their self, do you understand?"
After listening carefully, Ning Cheng took the initiative to apologize to Shi Jiahui and Katherine.
"Master, Son-Chef Catherine, I'm sorry, I'm talking too much."
Shi Jiahui and Katherine naturally didn't care, and they also accepted Ning Cheng's apology with a smile.
"Okay, it's okay, you guys study hard."
"You're right, no need to apologize."
Next, everyone spoke freely and told me some of the business problems in the past two days.
There are indeed many problems that have been mentioned, and many of them need to be improved urgently.
Feng Yifan also wrote down the same thing, and he also began to think about some improvement plans in his mind.
After everyone was talking freely, Catherine finally spoke about the food critic.
"Chef, the world's annual restaurant review has indeed come. Our Su Ji and Ruo restaurants may have been nominated, but it seems that the review may not give us high scores, and it is more likely that they will start criticizing us."
Feng Yifan laughed when he heard this: "Things to be expected."
Feng Yifan actually expected the selection of the world's annual restaurant recommendation list and knew that the other party would definitely come to Suji Heruo Restaurant.
This is because Su Ji Heruo Restaurant has gained a good reputation in the country.
On the other hand, it is also because Feng Yifan is the chef of these two restaurants.
If we put aside the first line and take Feng Yifan as the main body, it would make sense.
After all, Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant’s reputation abroad is indeed not comparable to Feng Yifan.
After knowing that the other party would come, Feng Yifan naturally understood that he might eventually get the result of criticism.
At this time, when I saw everyone's expressions, it was obvious that they were a little unwilling to accept it.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you unwilling to accept it? Do you want to enter the annual restaurant recommendation list and want to be qualified for star-rated restaurant selection in the future? Then it's best to get Samsung, is that right?"
Although everyone doesn't want to admit it, they still have to admit it. Feng Yifan talked about their hearts.
Maybe if you don’t understand, you will naturally not care.
But I really learned, and it seems that everything is within reach.
Naturally, everyone was doing their best.
So Feng Yifan poured a basin of cold water on everyone.
"Before you want to get a star rating, I think I need to tell you a situation, that is, in the review of star restaurants, the taste may be the least important one."
When everyone heard Feng Yifan's words, they were all shocked.
After a long time, Shi Jiahui couldn't help asking: "Why? Why is the taste the least important? Isn't food a judging the taste?"
Feng Yifan said: "Maybe this is the case in China, but the star-rated restaurants abroad may not be what we think.
Because the original star-rated restaurant is a little bit similar to that of a travel destination, it may need to be targeted at some self-driving travelers, so where is the restaurant built? Are the facilities inside the restaurant sound? And do the tables, chairs, bowls and plates used meet the standards.
Finally, we may consider whether the dishes will suit everyone's taste."
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, everyone present still couldn't accept it.
Feng Yifan can only continue to give examples: "For example, the dishes used in star-rated restaurants, including knife and fork, various tablecloths, napkins, and vases on the table, must be purchased in some designated workshops, otherwise they will become points deductions."
When everyone heard this, they suddenly seemed to understand something.
As Feng Yifan said, star-rated restaurants may pay more attention to whether they are comfortable, rather than whether the dishes are delicious enough.
After understanding some of the rating criteria, everyone is naturally a little disappointed.
Because according to the standards mentioned by Feng Yifan, it is almost difficult for both Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant to meet the requirements.
The most important point here is that Feng Yifanruo’s restaurant decoration is designed domestically, and the restaurant facilities are also domestic products, including the tableware required by star-rated restaurants, and Feng Yifan also uses domestic ones.
It can be said that almost all of this series of things are subtractive items.
Chen Xu couldn't help asking: "Is it really impossible to remedy?"
Feng Yifan looked at Chen Xu, smiled and said, "What? Do you hope it can be remedy? Do you want us to get Samsung?"
Chen Xu hesitated for a moment, but he nodded in the end.
Feng Yifan looked at the others again: "Where are everyone? Everyone hopes we can get Samsung?"
Everyone looked at each other and finally nodded.
There is no need to ask this, the answer is already very obvious. Everyone hopes to get Samsung, which can really satisfy everyone's vanity.
Feng Yifan saw everyone's expressions and said with a smile: "Okay, since everyone wants to get three stars, let's work together."
This sentence immediately inspired everyone's passion.
