205. Check in [Neighborhood·New Cantonese Cuisine](1/2)
And sometimes, you can even see many problems through the system's evaluation of the store.
If it can be directly rated as 4 stars, then everything will be fine.
Then he would only make one or two comments. After all, the four-star score is already quite good.
With this achievement, as long as the product can be stable and have some characteristics of its own, it is not too difficult to spend some effort to select a Michelin or Black Pearl star.
If it's three stars, then he needs to put forward suggestions for improvement of some poor dishes, or even start to improve them directly.
After all, it is about to open now, and Li Xiao is not willing to make major changes if he can. Although the three-star rating is not high, it is already a middling score, which can barely meet the requirements of most people.
If there are two stars or one star or even the check-in cannot be successful, then the problem is relatively big.
Li Xiao may even propose to the squad leader a major change in the menu, and even ask the squad leader to postpone the opening if possible.
Because in Li Xiao's perception, if a restaurant cannot even achieve three stars, it is considered to be at a very average level. Two stars may only have a few bright spots.
But trying to establish a foothold in the city center of a third-tier city with just a few bright spots is simply a fantasy.
This is especially true for mid-to-high-end restaurants like this.
If it is purely promoted with bells and whistles, the possibility of death is quite high.
He Beibei took his boss and Li Xiao into the back kitchen. The environment in the back kitchen was quite good.
The design of [Neighborhood] is very unique, with a double-layer zigzag structure, so that the kitchen is located in the opening in the middle of the zigzag.
The huge floor-to-ceiling windows completely display the environment in the back kitchen to all diners.
The range hood is cleverly designed everywhere on the workbench, as well as in the hidden grid on the floor, so that there is no need to install an exhaust pipe at the top of the kitchen. The top floor of the kitchen is made of extremely bright explosion-proof glass, making it easy for people even on the second floor to
Guests can also clearly see the work of the kitchen.
All of them were neatly dressed in chef uniforms and looked full of energy.
There was not a trace of water on the floor, and the workbench was wiped clean without a trace of dirt.
The pre-processed ingredients were placed on the table. Li Xiao's eyes fell on the ingredients. The selection of ingredients was quite good, and the person who selected them seemed to have put a lot of effort into it.
After all, the quality of a food largely depends on the quality of the ingredients. If the ingredients are of inferior quality, even the god of food will not be able to make a good meal.
This winter menu prepared by Chef He Beibei has a total of 10 dishes. There are not many dishes, fewer than the set meals in many stores, but the variety is quite rich.
【Steamed fish with yellow sauce】
【White-cut chicken】
【Chicken and mashed potatoes】
【Black truffle abalone rice】
【Yuzu Sea Urchin】
【Salt and Pepper Shrimp】
【Iceland Emerald Saffron】
【Mushroom clear soup】
【Steamed Shrimp Stuffed Morels】
【Golden Tofu】
There are meat dishes, vegetarian dishes, and staple food.
There are very traditional Cantonese dishes, as well as obviously innovative dishes.
There are light dishes and dishes with rich flavor.
There are cold dishes and hot dishes.
After seeing this menu, Li Xiao was still looking forward to it.
And after he learned about He Beibei's family environment, he also wanted to know how good a three-star senior chef trained by two five-star senior chefs could be.
After all, the person in front of me and Beibei are not much older than me. It is quite extraordinary to receive a three-star honor at such a young age.
Seeing someone coming in, several chefs in the kitchen who were busy stopped what they were doing.
These chefs in the back kitchen are not as well-educated as Beibei. They all look at Li Xiao with more or less hostility.
Li Xiao even saw a man in the corner, holding up a sharp knife as long as his arm and sharpening it, while looking at him with the corner of his eye, as if he wanted to use the knife if he disagreed.
Li Xiao shook his head, "Good guy, are you going to give yourself a blow before it even starts?"
He smiled bitterly and shook his head. There was nothing he could do about it. After all, most of the chef team was working as a whole. Whether it was cutting the ingredients or preparing the salad, they all worked for He Beibei's subordinates.
If she doesn't trust He Beibei, she also doesn't trust the people under her. It's natural for the other party to have resentment.
Without much words, the food tasting started immediately. In fact, normal food testing is impossible in the kitchen.
Most of the dishes will only be tasted in the private room at most, and after the tasters have finished eating, they will make a summary review.
He Beibei had expressed strong dissatisfaction with Li Xiao's request. Even though the request came from the boss, He Beibei was still unwilling to accept it. After all, this was already considered a serious provocation for a senior chef.
This was also the first time He Beibei encountered such a situation. If her father hadn't been inextricably linked to the other party's father's group, she might have resigned.
Fortunately, the squad leader was also prepared and had already edited some clips of Li Xiao's live broadcast last night.
When He Beibei watched these live broadcast clips of Li Xiao, he was silent for a while, and then finally reluctantly agreed.
When she saw Li Xiao competing in a cooking competition with Samsung senior chef Xie Guoyong and winning with overwhelming results, she felt a little shaken.
Ask yourself, if it were you, whether you could win or not is a question, let alone win by an overwhelming margin.
On one side is Li Xiao, a series that has never been touched before, and on the other side is the famous series created by the chef himself.
As a professional chef, she knows very well how terrifyingly difficult it is to defeat the opponent in the area where he is best at it.
Later, she also saw that after Li Xiao reviewed [Guyue Aged Brewed Snails] in Jinsha Restaurant, Cai Rongsheng, the chef of Jinsha Restaurant, a level 6 senior chef, actually came forward to express his gratitude in person.
Xie Guoyong and He Beibei didn't know each other. After all, although three-star senior chefs are rare, they are not uncommon. Basically every chef in a high-end restaurant has three stars or above, and the other person is from Hangzhou. It is normal for her not to know him.
of.
But she didn't dare not recognize the person behind him, Cai Rongsheng. After all, there were not many 6-star chefs in the Han Dynasty.
As far as he knew, there were only 120 third-tier and above cities in the Han Dynasty, and the number of 6-star senior chefs was just over 300.
In other words, on average, every third-tier city or above has less than three six-star chefs. Cai Rongsheng's Hangzhou cuisine is quite famous, and the culinary family behind him, surnamed Cai, is even more famous.
But Li Xiao was able to point out the shortcomings of the dishes so insightfully and immediately put forward suggestions for solutions, and the six-star chef even accepted them.
Li Xiao was actually able to comment on the shortcomings of some dishes in the Jinsha restaurant managed by a six-star chef. This was the main reason for He Beibei to suppress his dissatisfaction.
Otherwise, even if her boss requests it, she may refuse it directly.
Because she knows very well how big the gap is between a six-star chef and herself, a third-level chef, and she is not a fool.
As early as after joining the industry, she had met some six-star senior chefs, and there were quite a few of them. After all, her parents, as five-star chefs, were already rare masters in the industry, and they had relatively more connections.
widely.
She has been eating her parents' food since she was a child, and she often cooks it herself, so she understands it very clearly.
Even if it is the same dish, cooked with the same ingredients and ingredients, the same techniques, and the same utensils, the dishes produced by a three-star chef are still far inferior to those of a five-star chef.
Even a 5-star chef cannot fill the gap between the two stars with his unreserved and careful teaching.
Three stars is three stars, five stars is five stars.
If the gap can be filled so easily, then this star rating is really useless.
Because of this, she also clearly understood how scary it was to be able to humbly accept his suggestions from a six-star chef.
He Beibei is not the only one-star chef in her team. Besides her, there are two two-star chefs in the team.
This kind of chef configuration is actually quite good, but it is really a bit reluctant for such a team to support a restaurant with a per capita unit price of 558 and close to 600.
You must know that the original [Guiyu Shanfang] had a chef team composed of one 5-star, one 4-star, and 2 three-star senior chefs.
The price per customer is only about 700, and including services, it’s only 800.
However, it is a very cost-effective restaurant after all, and it is also the most amazing restaurant that Li Xiao has ever eaten at.
Comparing the best with the ordinary is indeed a bit picky.
Calm down, calm down, calm down, Li Xiao quickly repeated in his mind.
Thinking too much and comparing too much will only make your evaluation less objective.
Someone else's girlfriend, no matter how beautiful or in shape she is, is still someone else's girlfriend.
Someone else's husband, no matter how successful he is at work, is still someone else's husband.
It is very inappropriate to use the best as a comparison.
Since things have been pre-processed, the ingredients are already in a semi-finished state. Some items that cannot be processed in advance can be prepared after Li Xiao enters the kitchen.
Since the portions required this time were not large, He Beibei decided early in the morning to control all the dishes himself, so that the production effect would be the best and the quality of the food would be uniform enough.
She also wants to know how her current level is in the eyes of this food anchor called Li Xiao.
There are no seats in the back kitchen, but someone has already brought in a high-top table in advance and placed it on the other side of the workbench.
