The appearance of Feng Yifan made the hotel a little bit nervous.
Especially at the headquarters of the chain hotel, who has now been promoted to the president of the hotel, to George, and to Feng Yifan's sudden visit, was a little surprised.
The VIP card in Feng Yifan's hand was after he helped the hotel restaurant successfully obtain one star four years ago.
He submitted a letter of resignation, and the president at the time asked George to personally give him this VIP card.
Moreover, George also knows that the dishes on the menu reserved by the hotel restaurant today are also the use rights purchased by the hotel from Feng Yifan at a high price.
So compared to the income Feng Yifan brings to the hotel restaurant, a comprehensive VIP card is nothing at all.
Feng Yifan and the others were introduced into the restaurant by the general manager and chef, which also surprised the waiters in the restaurant.
couldn't help but get together, whispering to each other in a whisper.
Guess who Feng Yifan and the others are?
Finally, the general manager and the chef arranged a quiet cubicle for Feng Yifan and them.
originally wanted to arrange a private room for Feng Yifan and the others, but Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi were walking, and they were attracted by a small stream in the middle of the restaurant.
There are koi carps swimming in the small stream. The little girls find it very interesting.
Because there is a feeling as if you are standing on the water.
This is a special design of the hotel restaurant.
Below is a flowing pool, the restaurant is built on the pool, so if you eat in the hall, you can enjoy the scene of some koi swimming under your feet.
Feng Yifan saw that the two girls liked it, smiled and said to the general manager: "Let's not go to the private room anymore. Let us find a spacious and quiet location."
The general manager and the chef made arrangements, and Feng Yifan and the others sat in a quiet compartment.
The two little girls can also see the koi swimming.
After sitting down, Feng Yifan smiled and said to the chef: "Don't take the set meal. Let's have some more real dishes. The children are hungry."
The chef was taken aback when he heard it, and at the same time he was relieved in an instant.
The chef is actually worried that Feng Yifan sits down and directly orders the set meal he left for the hotel restaurant.
In front of the original owner who created the set meal, he made that set meal for the original owner. This is really a situation that the chef does not want to face.
The chef quickly replied: "Do I need to prepare Chinese food for you? Or Western? Do I need to prepare some snacks for the kids?"
Feng Yifan thought for a while and said: "Well, it's okay, our taste may be light, and then the children's snacks, put it at the end, if it is too early, it will affect the children's meals."
The chef agreed and nodded: "Okay, please wait a moment, I will go to the back kitchen to prepare now."
Then the chef left first, while the general manager of the hotel stayed for a while.
After hesitating, the general manager took out the two cards anyway.
"Mr. Feng, this is given to you by our hotel. Although it is not a full waiver like your VIP card, it is 40% off for domestic use and 20% off for overseas use."
Feng Yifan did not postpone it: "Well, ok, thank you, put it here."
After the general manager put it down, he respectfully said: "Then Mr. Feng will not interrupt your meal. If you need anything, you can notify me at any time."
The general manager left a business card, and then left the restaurant first.
Of course, before walking out of the restaurant, he also asked the person in charge and the waiter of the restaurant.
After the general manager left, Shi Jiahui first said: "Okay, our Chef Feng is really stylish everywhere, and there will be someone to arrange everything without speaking."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "This is just a coincidence. I didn't expect you to be in this hotel?"
Shi Jiahui laughed: "I don't know, and this hotel is the closest to my house."
Feng Yifan said: "It's the one closest to your house, and the most expensive, right?"
Shi Jiahui pretended to be angry and said, "What's your name? Don’t you think I can’t afford it?"
Feng Yifan said quickly: "No, no, I just think, Master Sister, you are too polite."
Then, Feng Yifan handed the discount cards to Yang Zhiyi and Shi Tao respectively.
"Although it is not free, but there is a discount, you can take it first, if you really need it, I can tell George and give you a change."
Shi Jiahui still organizes his son to take it: "Shi Tao is still not needed."
Feng Yifan said to the master sister earnestly: "It's okay, it's just a discount card, master sister, I believe my nephew will control himself, after all, he still has to spend money."
Shi Tao took it and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely not use it casually, and I don't have that much money."
Shi Jiahui could only acquiesce in his son to accept it.
After Yang Zhiyi accepted it, he was also a little embarrassed: "Chef Feng, this is actually really not as embarrassing. This time you come here, the money will be paid by you, and now you still take your things."
Feng Yifan waved his hand: "Don't come to this set. We are friends. Then you can accept it. If you don't need it in the future, you can also use it for Mother Xixi."
Yang Zhiyi felt that it made sense: "Yes, it can be used by Xixi's mother. If she makes a show on her own in the future, she may need to run all over the country. Using this discount card can save a lot of money."
Feng Yifan said: "And the hotel has a pick-up service. If you need to go to a strange city, you can call them directly to pick you up."
Yang Zhiyi smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome."
The lunch arranged by the hotel restaurant is a combination of Chinese and Western.
There are classic steaks in western food, and some Chinese dishes are presented.
Feng Yifan didn't comment too much, greeted everyone to eat together.
After Shi Jiahui ate it, she gave a good comment: "Well, it seems that the chef of the restaurant is relatively good. The steak is done very well. There are also a few side dishes that match well. This sweet and sour short rib is also a bit good. Meaning, our two little babies should like to eat."
Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi also really like to eat. Children always like the sweet taste.
Yang Zhiyi tasted a piece and found it very good.
"Yes, although it is not as good as the one taught by Chef Feng before, this taste is quite good, especially this sweet and sour sauce, which is just right and has a slightly sour taste, which is really great."
Feng Yifan smiled and still did not speak.
Feng Ruoruo suddenly said: "Uncle Yang, this rib is not good, because there is tomato sauce in it. If Dad makes it, don't put tomato sauce in it."
Yang Zhiyi suddenly remembered when he heard the words, it seems that when Feng Yifan made it before, he did not put ketchup.
When Feng Yifan saw his daughter speak, he also said, “In fact, it’s ok to put tomato sauce. It adds some flavor. It’s not absolutely impossible to put it. The chef’s dish here is very seasoned, and it shouldn’t be tomato sauce. It used tomato sauce."
In the back kitchen of the hotel restaurant, the chef and cooks also gathered together, waiting for the waiter to give feedback from Feng Yifan.
For Feng Yifan, the former chef of the restaurant at the hotel headquarters, the chefs are still full of respect.
After all, the one-star set meal reserved by hotel restaurants today was designed by Feng Yifan and bought out by the hotel at a high price. It is used as a set menu reserved by restaurants in chains around the world.
Now the chefs and cooks in the back kitchen do not know how many times they have cooked the dishes in that set meal.
Now that I see the person who left the menu with my own eyes, how can the chefs not get excited?
Soon, the waiter in charge of the service ran to the back kitchen.
"Tasted, tasted, that Mr. Feng said that he was still passing the test. His daughter said that your ribs used tomato sauce, and that Mr. Feng did not let it go, but Mr. Feng said that tomato sauce is also okay. Mr. Feng also said that you are using tomato sauce."
After listening to the report, the chef was also a little surprised.
He didn't expect that Feng Yifan actually ate that he used tomato sauce.
The traditional sweet and sour short ribs do not use tomato sauce or tomato sauce, but use sugar and vinegar to make a sweet and sour sauce, and then pour it on the cooked ribs.
is just the production of sweet and sour sauce, it is a handicraft, and it doesn't take a long time to do it.
Because the sweet and sour sauce first needs to be fried with sugar, this step alone is enough to persuade many cooks.
We need to stir-fry vinegar later, especially the ratio of vinegar, sugar, and salt, which is also the key to sweet and sour sauce. Another important point is that you can’t stir-fry too much. If the vinegar smell is volatile, it will be too. Lose that taste. So it is really a test of skill.
Nowadays there are tomato sauce and tomato sauce. Usually, in order to save trouble, most restaurants will use tomato sauce and tomato sauce. The sweet and sour taste is easier to grasp.
Just this way, it is indeed lacking a little vinegar fragrance.
As the back chef of the hotel restaurant, in order to cope with Feng Yifan’s sudden arrival today, the chef himself made this dish.
The chef used his own method, which is to fry the tomato sauce first, and cook some vinegar at the end to make the dish finally show the vinegar aroma.
The chef didn't expect that Feng Yifan would eat it out, and what he didn't expect was that it would be eaten out by a little girl.
The waiter continued to speak, and also said some words after Feng Yifan.
In the latter case, it directly points out how the chef cooks that sweet and sour short rib.
The priority is to stir-fry the tomato sauce and add some vinegar to increase the vinegar flavor.
The chef is also very convinced. Feng Yifan can dictate all the process, which is enough to prove his ability.
deserves to be away for four years, and he is still the chef who keeps the restaurant following his menu.
After listening to the description, the chef tidyed up his clothes, once again holding the last dessert, walked out of the back chef to the restaurant, and handed the dessert to Feng Yifan and the others.
Putting down the desserts, the chef said to Feng Yifan: “Chef Feng, the chefs of these hotel restaurants have always been a little bit unconvinced with you, and I don’t understand why we must make the menu you left behind. Today you let me recognize my abilities."
The chef paused and said seriously: "I have to admit that without your menu, we can no longer create a menu that can win a star."
After listening to the restaurant’s chef, Feng Yifan smiled and said, “Actually, there is nothing. I think you shouldn’t keep making my menu. You can use your abilities and try to make new things. Sometimes you don’t. Do it and never know if it will succeed."
The chef was stunned when he heard the words, but did not expect Feng Yifan to say such a thing.
Then he saw Feng Yifan stand up and said seriously: “As a chef, you should not be proud of cooking other people’s dishes as close to the pioneers, but should be proud of being able to make dishes that surpass the former, so you should Try it hard."
The chef looked at Feng Yifan. He nodded and said, "Well, I know, thank you, Chef Feng. My name is ‘Yu Quan’ and I hope I can ask you if I have a chance in the future."
Feng Yifan did not refuse: "Well, good."
After Quan Quan left, Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "This chef is a bit self-motivated and wants to make a breakthrough."
Speaking of this, Shi Jiahui pointed to the steak and said, "This steak is actually very seasoned."
Feng Yifan also said: "Yes, the steak sauce and the sweet and sour sauce of the sweet and sour ribs are all seasoned by himself, which is quite distinctive, but it lacks a little ignition."
Shi Jiahui said suddenly: “If I’m making this sweet and sour pork ribs and I’m not sure about my sweet and sour sauce, if I want to use tomato sauce, I’ll just add vinegar and fry first, and finally add sugar to taste.”
Feng Yifan listened to the words of the master sister, and gave a thumbs up: "The master sister is really amazing."
Shi Jiahui glared at Feng Yifan and said, "Go, go, you guys praise, it always makes me feel a little uncomfortable."
Feng Yifan laughed: "Hahaha, the master sister will have to adapt a lot in the future, otherwise, how can I be the assistant chef under my hands?"
Shi Jiahui laughed after hearing this: "Hahaha, I try to adapt."
At the same time, the two little girls who had eaten, accompanied by Shi Tao's eldest brother, were already watching the fish in the middle of the restaurant. Shi Tao also took photos of them with his mobile phone, and then directly followed Feng Yifan's request through Feng Yifan. Send the cell phone to the mother of two girls Su Ruoxi, who had a meal and rest at home, took a cell phone and looked at her daughter's photo.
to the child's grandpa and grandma to watch.
Seeing the little girls who are having a good time in the field, the family members are also happy and very happy.
Of course, Su Ruoxi played with her mobile phone for a while, and was asked by her mother-in-law to hand over her mobile phone, and obediently went back to the room for a nap.
Li Feier, who had lunch at the work unit, kept guarding her mobile phone, waiting for the girls' photos.
Occasionally seeing the girls playing around, she couldn't help but laugh at the unit.
Many colleagues in the unit were surprised, but no one would bother Li Feier's happiness casually.
Feng Yifan chatted with the elder sister for a while, and called the two girls who were playing outside: "Ruoruo, Xixi, come back for snacks, eat the snacks, we are leaving, you two should go upstairs. Going for a nap."
The two little girls ran back after hearing this.
Before the little girls were ready to eat, Shi Jiahui took a close look at the dim sum and said, "Hey, this dim sum in the restaurant should have been left by Luo Yu."
Feng Yifan suddenly became interested: "Really? Then I will try someone else's first."
Hearing this, Feng Ruoruo immediately scooped up a piece with a small spoon and handed it to Dad's mouth: "Dad, Ruoruo's for you to eat."
Yang Xiaoxi also dug up a piece and handed it over: "Papa Feng, Xixi will give you food too."
This scene embarrassed Yang Zhiyi who was sitting aside.
