Hardcore Chef Dad

Hardcore Cooking Dad ()

It can be clearly felt that Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin have different ideas on the future development of Su Ji.

Chen Wei agrees with Feng Yifan's suggestion to his father-in-law Su Jinrong that there is no need to make Su Ji bigger, but stick to the business route of a boutique private kitchen with its own characteristics.

But Shi Jinbin has a different idea. He thinks that Feng Yifan should go out more while he is young, go to some big hotels for experience, and strive for higher prestige step by step.

It is obvious that Shi Jinbin's way of thinking is the path he himself took at the beginning, and it is also the path that old man Su Quansheng once walked.

Shi Jinbin even said directly in front of everyone: As long as Yifan is willing, I can take him into the Red Maple Hotel.

Entering the Red Maple Hotel, that is a completely different matter.

In the domestic culinary world, the status of Red Maple Restaurant is absolutely extraordinary.

I don't know how many well-known chefs in various places are even willing to enter the Red Maple Restaurant as apprentices, just to get a chance in the Red Maple Restaurant.

There is even a private rumor in the culinary world that entering the Red Maple Restaurant is tantamount to preparing for a state banquet.

In fact, this is indeed the case, except for the first state banquet back then, and the state banquet attended by Mr. Su Quansheng.

Over the years, almost all the chef teams for various state banquets in China were selected from the Red Maple Hotel.

Even a year before, when an international conference was held in China, it was necessary to receive dignitaries from various countries, and the catering was completely entrusted to the top chef team of Red Maple Hotel to take care of it.

This is because the Red Maple Hotel has too many inheritances of state banquet masters.

On the other hand, it is also because the kitchen team of Red Maple Hotel is indeed very capable.

So Shi Jinbin said very directly: As long as Yifan is willing, he can go back with me this time. I can let him enter the Red Maple Restaurant, and he doesn't need to start from the bottom to help the chef.

Hearing what Shi Jinbin said, Zhuang Daozhong couldn't help laughing and said, Jin Bin, I can't imagine that an upright person like you would make an exception for Jinrong's son-in-law one day?

Shi Jinbin was very calm, facing Zhuang Daozhong and said: Master, in fact, you should be very clear that Yifan has that strength. He has mastered the essence of Suji's various dishes, and he also has knowledge of various domestic cuisines. Research, even research on Western food.

Zhuang Daozhong nodded when he heard this: There is nothing wrong with that. Yifan is the most versatile chef I have ever seen.

In fact, everyone agrees on this point, perhaps in the eyes of the older ones.

Feng Yifan may not be able to compare with some cooks who specialize in a certain thing, but he can really do everything, which shows that his comprehensive strength is very strong.

In the kitchen industry, everyone knows very well that a certain specialization can never become a master.

Anyone who can be called a master chef is the kind of cook who can truly be very versatile.

Just like Su Ji's old man, Su Quansheng.

Many people may think that Su Quansheng is a Huaiyang chef because he is from Huaicheng.

But in fact, apart from Huaiyang cuisine, Su Quansheng also has a deep research in other domestic cuisines, so he can stand out among so many masters in the state banquet.

Later, he became the chef of the state banquet for a time, and he was able to have the power to customize menus for different banquets of the state banquet.

This is not simply to specialize in a certain cuisine, but to understand the cooking techniques of various cuisines at home and abroad.

In order to be able to arrange different menus at the state banquet when necessary.

In Su Jinrong's generation, including Shi Jinbin who entered the Red Maple Restaurant, they all prefer to specialize in a certain cuisine, and they are not completely able to easily control all kinds of dishes.

So Shi Jinbin is very fond of Feng Yifan, he wants to help his master, Su Ji, to train a master chef.

Shi Jinbin said seriously to Su Jinrong: Jinrong, there are really some opportunities that must be seized. I can understand that you gave up the opportunity at the beginning, but now,

You don't want your son-in-law to give up the opportunity again, do you?

Chen Wei said at this time: Old Shi, you should know that if Yifan goes to the Red Maple Hotel, he will probably stay there for at least many years, so what will Su Ji do during this time?

This question stopped Shi Jinbin from asking.

Su Ji is now supported by Feng Yifan.

And from the current business, Feng Yifan is indeed capable of making Su Ji's business better.

If Feng Yifan left Suji and went to the Red Maple Hotel, he would definitely need to stay in the Red Maple Hotel for many years.

Because even with Shi Jinbin's recommendation, in a big hotel like Red Maple Hotel where experts gather, seniority must be considered internally, and it is impossible for Feng Yifan to get a high opportunity in a short period of time.

So Feng Yifan stayed in the Red Maple Hotel for a decade or so, and then participated in one or two state banquets.

So for such a long time, wouldn't Su Ji really have to close its doors?

The old man Su Quancheng did go north like this, and he did make a name for himself, which in turn made Su Ji famous in Suzhou Province.

But when the halo brought by the state banquet gradually recedes, Su Ji will gradually return to an ordinary one.

In the end, Su Ji will become what it is today, just a small restaurant with heritage in Huai City. Even if it wasn't for Feng Yifan's attack again, Su Ji might not even know of many people in Huai City.

Chen Wei directly pointed out this problem: If that's the case, after Yifan is really famous, he will come back to manage Su Ji. In fact, Su Ji may have lost its due value, and it may even be the same as the master back then. With Fan gone, Su Ji will lose his reputation again.

After saying this, Chen Wei looked at Su Jinrong and said, Jinrong, I'm not saying that you did something wrong. In fact, the problem of Su Ji's failure is not your fault. It was caused by our brothers leaving that year.

Su Jinrong didn't care because he knew what Chen Wei meant.

It is said that Su Ji has hundreds of years of inheritance, but the real popularity is only in his father's generation. It can even be said that Su Ji became famous because his father was famous.

Chen Wei didn't want Su Ji to be responsible again, so he felt that Su Ji should be managed well and the inheritance should be preserved.

Many time-honored brands in China may eventually disappear slowly, or even be gradually forgotten by people, and eventually they can only withdraw from the stage of history.

In fact, there is such a problem. A very famous existence appeared in a certain generation. He used his reputation to promote the time-honored brand, but once he passed away, the time-honored brand may not be able to maintain that reputation. There are more Or because of business problems.

Chen Wei looked at the uncle and two younger brothers present, and said directly: I think we should stick to the characteristics of Su Ji, and make Su Ji a signboard to let others know about Su Ji. It is a result that Master has worked hard for many years and hopes to see.

After hearing Chen Wei's words, Su Jinrong also became a little excited. He didn't expect that senior brother could understand his father's mind so well.

When he sent his father away, Su Jinrong had listened to his father's instructions when he was in front of the hospital bed.

At that time, his father's instruction to Su Jinrong was to guard Su Ji and let the inheritance of Su Ji continue.

It was also because of his father's instructions that Su Jinrong did not leave Su Ji afterwards.

Although Su Jinrong failed to really carry forward Su Ji, and did not make Su Ji more famous, at least Su Jinrong still kept Su Ji, and he did not humiliate the old plaque.

Shi Jinbin still didn't agree with Chen Wei's words.

If according to what you said, simply managing Su Ji, I think it will not only waste Yifan's talent, but at the same time, it will take a long time to really manage Su Ji.

Speaking of this, Shi Jinbin paused for a moment, thought for a while and said: Furthermore, in the end, the Su Ji that is managed may become a brand in the hands of others, because when Yifan grows old, he will still face the current predicament. How can we continue to maintain Su Kee's business?

Chen Wei replied seriously: It's very simple, take in apprentices, lead apprentices, and let apprentices continue to stick to and inherit the old plaque of Su Ji.

Shi Jinbin was a little surprised and asked: In that case, wouldn't Su Ji still fall into the hands of others?

Chen Wei shook his head and said, Junior brother, why are you still limited to this kind of prejudice of the sect family?

Before Shi Jinbin could open his mouth, Chen Wei continued to ask: Let me ask you, is Tan's family cooking now?

When asked in this way, Shi Jinbin was immediately speechless.

Chen Wei looked at Su Jinrong again: Jinrong, I'm not saying that Su Ji must fall into the hands of others, I don't think you really need to care about the views of the family, as long as it can inherit the essence of Su Ji, then it can be called Su Jinrong. It is called Su Ji Cuisine, and the future Su Ji will still be the current Su Ji.

This is also the advantage of running a small private kitchen, that is, we specialize in Su Ji's dishes, which do not belong to any cuisine or other schools, but are unique to Su Ji.

Chen Wei's remarks moved Su Jinrong very much, and he also had similar thoughts after this period of time.

Especially after his son-in-law Feng Yifan came back, he also told Su Jinrong about a similar plan.

Su Jinrong still approves of this plan.

Because in this way, the uniqueness of Suji cuisine can be better maintained, and the reputation of Suji can be truly spread, instead of simply making a certain generation of Suji chefs famous.

Seeing Su Jinrong's appearance, Shi Jinbin already saw that he should be more in favor of such a plan.

Zhuang Daozhong, who had not spoken at this time, said: Actually, both Chen Wei and Jin Bin's plans are feasible, but I think they can be combined.

The three brothers and sisters all looked at the uncle together, wanting to hear how the uncle's so-called synthesis is?

Zhuang Daozhong continued: Yifan is still young, and there are still some things that need to be seen. You don't need to enter the Red Maple Restaurant, but you can participate in the promotion of some dishes to increase your popularity.

After a pause, Zhuang Daozhong continued: Su Ji's management, I also agree with Yifan's plan, focusing on private kitchens and small restaurants, and making high-quality dishes, unique to Su Ji's high-quality dishes, there is no need to make Su Ji into a big restaurant , maintain this refinement, Su Ji should be able to develop better.

Shi Jinbin listened to the uncle's words, thought for a while and said: Uncle, you said that participating in some dish promotion, do you want Yifan to participate in this cooking competition of Chinese cuisine?

Zhuang Daozhong shook his head: No, Yifan doesn't need to participate in that competition. Yifan's ability to participate in that competition is a bit bullying to others. I think this time Chinese food is an opportunity. I think Yifan should restore a unique Su Ji Banquet menu, on behalf of Su Ji to participate in the menu competition of Chinese cuisine.

Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin were taken aback by these words, and an inconceivable expression even appeared on their faces.

Because the two seniors have never heard of it, Su Ji has his own banquet menu.

So it's a little strange that my uncle said to restore the banquet menu?

Seeing that the two were very strange, Zhuang Daozhong looked at Su Jinrong who was beside him, and with Su Jinrong nodding in agreement, he revealed the existence of Su Zao Banquet.

After listening to the uncle's introduction, Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin were really even more surprised.

Su Zaoyan, this is really the first time these two have heard of it.

Shi Jinbin looked at Su Jinrong and asked, Does Su Ji really have such a banquet?

Su Jinrong nodded: Yes, there used to be, and now, only the name of the menu remains. No, the recipe.

Chen Wei said with an ugly face: If this is the case, I'm afraid it will not be so easy to restore the banquet.

Zhuang Daozhong nodded: It's really not easy, but fortunately, there is still plenty of time. The selection of Chinese cuisine banquets will require at least a year of individual screening, and it may take longer to be finalized.

Shi Jinbin thought for a while and said, If that's the case, then there is plenty of time left for Yifan.

Chen Wei was still a little worried: But even so, it seems that it is not an easy task to restore a banquet with only names?

Shi Jinbin also nodded his head in embarrassment.

Zhuang Daozhong said: Don't be discouraged, I actually found some relevant information, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Jinrong to mention this matter, but the rest may still need to be studied by Yifan.

Shi Jinbin thought about it seriously and said: If it can really recover, it will definitely make Su Ji famous.

Chen Wei also said: Yes, and even if it is not selected into the menu of Chinese cuisine, as long as it participates in the selection, it can be the main dish of Su Ji later and become the signature of Su Ji.

Shi Jinbin said to Su Jinrong: Jinrong, don't worry, I will definitely help you and Yifan.

Chen Wei also said: Well, I will help too, let's work hard together.

Su Jinrong also smiled when he heard the promise of the two senior brothers: Well, thank you, senior brother.

Zhuang Daozhong was very pleased to see this scene.

Looking up at Su Quancheng's portrait, Zhuang Daozhong thought to himself: Brother, this should be the scene you would like to see the most, right? I believe that these disciples of yours will make Su Ji even better.

After some discussion, several old people reached a relatively unified idea.

Su Ji's smuggled kitchen boutique business model, and then it is necessary to restore the Su-made banquet, so that Su Ji's real reputation will be greatly improved, and Su Ji's real reputation will be made famous in the world.
