Hardcore Chef Dad

Hearing Feng Yifan seriously talk about his experience in the back kitchen of a restaurant under Su Lanxin's company abroad, not only surprised Zhuang Daozhong and Zhuang Zhebin, but also made Su Jinrong frown.

After Feng Yifan narrated, he said to Zhuang Daozhong with a calm smile: Uncle Shi, I won't comment on the good or bad practices of my aunt's restaurant, but I think if she gets the old plaque of Su Ji, I'm afraid she will also use her set of management methods. to operate.

If that's the case, Master Uncle, do you think Su Ji under such operation is still Su Ji?

Feng Yifan's question made Zhuang Daozhong fall into deep thought, and Zhuang Zhebin, who had been leaning towards Su Lanxin, also fell into deep thought.

In Zhuang Zhebin's mind, he recalled the Yifu noodles that he ate at Suji today, and thought of the taste different from ordinary crystal meat, as well as the dry fried meatballs with fillings.

If it is placed in a restaurant under the Su Lanxin Catering Group, none of these will appear

Because these are not up to restaurant standards.

However, these do not meet the standard of standardized restaurants, and the cooking chefs rely on their experience to come up with wonderful combinations on a whim. Isn't it delicious?

No, they are very tasty.

Let the diners taste a different taste, a unique flavor that does not lose the tradition, but at the same time breaks through the tradition.

Zhuang Zhebin pondered, and suddenly understood why Su Ji was unwilling to cooperate with Su Lanxin. Because in the inheritance of Su Ji, in addition to the adherence to the tradition, there is also an innovation and change to the tradition.

This is an irreconcilable opposition to Su Lanxin's philosophy.

Zhuang Daozhong sighed and said, It looks like that girl Lanxin's ideas are fundamentally different from ours.

Su Jinrong said at this time: Su Ji, it's a private kitchen restaurant, it can't be like that.

Zhuang Daozhong also nodded in agreement: Yes, Su Ji really can't be scaled up like that. Su Ji should retain its unique flavor. If it becomes a chain restaurant like that, it will lose the flavor that Su Ji should have.

At this moment, Mr. Zhuang Daozhong finally made up his mind: Jinrong, you don't have to worry, I will tell Lan Xin about this, and you won the inheritance right back then, so it belongs to you, and I believe you too And your son-in-law will revive it.

Feng Yifan got up immediately, and saluted Mr. Zhuang Daozhong very respectfully: Thank you, Master Uncle, for your success. Feng Yifan will definitely stick to Su Ji.

Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said: Okay, Yifan, your vigor makes me seem to see my old brother Su.

Recalling the scene back then, Zhuang Daozhong was also quite emotional, and his eyes were full of yearning.

At this moment, Lu Cuiling couldn't help but said: Uncle, can you tell the younger generation about the experiences you and Su Ji, the person in charge of the spoon, had at the state banquet back then?

Hearing Lu Cuiling's question, Zhuang Daozhong saw Feng Yifan, Su Ruoxi, and especially his great-grandson Zhuang Zhebin looking yearning, so he smiled and agreed: Okay, then I'll talk about it.

The state banquet that Mr. Su participated in was a very well-known state banquet. The guests attending the state banquet at that time were all dignitaries from various countries.

At that time, the selection of chefs was also nationwide.

The open selection from among the elites in the national culinary industry is almost equivalent to one in a million.

According to the requirements of the state banquet specifications, it is divided into four groups: Sichuan, Shandong, Guangdong, and Huai.

At that time, Mr. Su was the team leader of Huai's group, and he was responsible for the menu customization, the supervision of the dishes, and even the selection of all the ingredients, especially the various seasonings.

When Zhuang Daozhong mentioned that passage, he was also in high spirits.

At that time, I was probably Yifan's age. I was really lucky. I was favored by Brother Su, so I became Brother Su's assistant. But, rather than being an assistant, I might as well call it an apprentice.

Speaking of this, Zhuang Daozhong also smiled all over his face.

You may not know that every cook who was able to go in to participate in the state banquet at that time was one in a million, and they were already considered top culinary arts, so they were all a little arrogant.

As Zhuang Daozhong said, it was not easy to be the coordinating team leader of each group at that time, because leading a group of top people, so one needs to have the ability to outwit the crowd.

Zhuang Daozhong was a little embarrassed and said: I am also very proud to go in. At the beginning, I was asked to be an assistant, so I must have been a little bit unconvinced, but after I really fought with Brother Su, I realized that there is a big gap between me.

Although Zhuang Daozhong was only in his thirties at the time, he did go through rounds of selection before he could join the state banquet team.

But Zhuang Daozhong, who thought he was very strong, could only feel ashamed after seeing the person in charge of Su Ji, and had to be convinced.

Back then, Yifan and Ruoxi, your grandfathers were really top-notch in everything, whether it was knife skills or pyrotechnics. The most important thing was seasoning. Your grandfather had a special skill, adding fruits to the dishes to add layering to the dishes.

Speaking of this, Zhuang Daozhong asked with a smile: Have you ever thought about adding pineapple to scallion oil for frying?

Zhuang Zhebin couldn't help exclaiming: Grandpa made a mistake, why did you still put pineapple in the deep-fried scallion oil?

Zhuang Daozhong said with a smile: This is your grandpa Su's unique skill. Add pineapple to the scallion oil for frying at the end, and blend the fruity aroma into the scallion oil, making the scallion oil instantly become more layered.

Zhuang Zhebin could only helplessly shake his head and express that it was really hard for him to imagine it.

Feng Yifan was also a little surprised: I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it. I originally thought that only foreign countries would incorporate fruits into dishes. Unexpectedly, grandpa has already started doing this.

Zhuang Daozhong nodded: Yes, so those top culinary artists from all over the world at that time had to obey your grandfather.

At this moment, before Feng Yifan and the others, there seemed to be a scene in the kitchen of the state banquet, where Mr. Su led a group of top chefs, trying their best to show their culinary skills to the extreme.

It has to be said that at this moment Feng Yifan's heart was really filled with admiration.

Accompanied by Zhuang Daozhong's narration, the scene of the state banquet, which originally only existed in everyone's imagination, suddenly became vivid.

After Zhuang Daozhong finished chatting about the state banquet, he couldn't help sighing and said: Chefs today always think that their dishes are not good enough, is it because the master has something to hide or wants to peek at other people's family dishes.

But in fact, how can there be so many secrets and so many secret recipes in cooking?

The so-called master is just working harder than others, putting in more effort to study, and treating cooking as an art, not just cooking.

Hearing Zhuang Daozhong's words, Feng Yifan kept nodding, thinking that Mr. Zhuang was right.

Zhuang Zhebin thought for a while and asked, Grandpa, when you say this, it means that there is no such thing as an ancestral menu at all.

Zhuang Daozhong said with a smile: The so-called ancestral menu is also the result of the research of generations of ancestors. What's more, there are no secrets in the so-called ancestral menu. Most of them are just records of the experience of the ancestors.

After hearing this, Feng Yifan said, I understand what Uncle Master means. Well-cooked dishes don't necessarily have any secret recipes handed down from one's ancestors. It's more about the research of each cook.

Zhuang Daozhong nodded: That's right, just like you, Yifan, the various toppings for Yifu noodles, and the Liuxin fried meatballs, are all your own research? As a cook, you must have this kind of research spirit, Only then can we continue to make good dishes.”
