Chapter 704 Tasting the Restaurant

Feng Yifan's appearance made the hotel a little nervous.

Especially at the chain hotel headquarters, George, who has now been promoted to hotel president, was also a little surprised by Feng Yifan's sudden visit.

The VIP card in Feng Yifan's hand was obtained after he helped the hotel restaurant successfully obtain one star four years ago.

He submitted his resignation letter, and the then president asked George to personally give him the VIP card.

Moreover, George also knew that the dishes currently on the menu in the hotel restaurant were the right to use them purchased by the hotel from Feng Yifan at a high price.

So compared to the revenue Feng Yifan brings to hotel restaurants, a comprehensive VIP card is nothing.

Feng Yifan and the others were introduced to the restaurant by the general manager and chef, which also surprised the waiters in the restaurant.

They couldn't help but get together and whisper to each other to discuss.

Guess who Feng Yifan and his group are?

Finally, the general manager and the chef arranged a quiet cubicle for Feng Yifan and the others.

Originally, they wanted to arrange a private room for Feng Yifan and the others, but while Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi were walking, they were attracted by a small stream running across the middle of the restaurant.

There were koi carp swimming in the small stream, which the little girls found very interesting.

Because there is a feeling as if you are standing on the water.

This is a special design for the hotel restaurant.

Below is a flowing pool, and the restaurant is built on the pool, so if you eat in the hall, you can enjoy the sight of some koi carps swimming under your feet.

Seeing that the two girls liked it, Feng Yifan smiled and said to the general manager: We won't go to the private room. Find us a spacious and quiet place.

The general manager and the chef made arrangements, and Feng Yifan and the others sat in a quiet booth.

The two little girls can also see the swimming koi.

After sitting down, Feng Yifan smiled and said to the chef: I don't want the set menu. Let's have some more practical dishes. The kids are hungry.

The chef was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but at the same time he was instantly relieved.

The chef was actually worried that Feng Yifan would sit down and directly order the set meal he left for the hotel restaurant.

In front of the original owner who created that set meal, making that set meal for the original owner is really a situation that the chef is not willing to face.

The chef quickly replied: Do I need to prepare Chinese food for you? Or Western food? Do you need to prepare some snacks for the children?

Feng Yifan thought for a while and said: Yes, it's all fine. Our taste may be bland, and the children's snacks should be placed at the end. If it's too early, it will affect the children's eating.

The chef nodded in agreement: Okay, please wait a moment, I will go to the kitchen to prepare now.

Then the chef left first, while the hotel's general manager stayed for a while.

After hesitating for a moment, the general manager took out the two cards.

Mr. Feng, this is given to you by our hotel. Although it cannot be free of charge like your VIP card, you can get a 40% discount for domestic use and a 20% discount for overseas use.

Feng Yifan did not delay: Well, okay, thank you, just put it here.

After the general manager put it down, he said respectfully: Then Mr. Feng will not disturb your meal. If you need anything, you can inform me at any time.

The general manager also left a business card and left the restaurant first.

Of course, before leaving the restaurant, he also gave instructions to the person in charge and the waiter of the restaurant.

After the general manager left, Shi Jiahui spoke first and said, Okay, our Chef Feng is indeed very impressive wherever he goes. Someone will arrange everything without even asking.

Feng Yifan smiled and said, This is just a coincidence. I didn't expect that you would arrange for me to stay in this hotel, senior sister?

Shi Jiahui laughed: I don't know either, and this hotel is the closest to my home.

Feng Yifan said: It's the one closest to your home, Senior Sister, and the most expensive one, right?

Shi Jiahui pretended to be angry and said, What are you talking about? Do you think I can't afford to hire a senior sister?

Feng Yifan quickly said: No, no, I just think, senior sister, you are too polite.

Then, Feng Yifan handed the discount cards to Yang Zhiyi and Shi Tao respectively.

Although it's not completely free, we can give you a discount. You can use it first. If you really need it, I can tell George and exchange it for you.

Shi Jiahui still organized her son to take it: Shi Tao still doesn't want it.

Feng Yifan said to senior sister seriously: It's okay, it's just a discount card. Senior sister, I believe that my nephew will control himself. After all, he still has to spend money.

Shi Tao took it and said, Mom, don't worry, I won't use it casually. I don't have that much money.

In the end, Shi Jiahui could only acquiesce to her son's acceptance.

As for Yang Zhiyi, he felt a little embarrassed after accepting it: Chef Feng, this is actually really embarrassing. You paid for all the money when I came here this time, and now I'm still taking your things.

Feng Yifan waved his hand: Don't do this, we are friends, then you can accept it. If you don't need it in the future, you can give it to Xixi's mother when she goes out.

Yang Zhiyi thought it made sense when he heard it: Yes, it can be used by Xixi's mother. If she produces her own show in the future, she may need to travel across the country. Using this discount card, she can save a lot of money.

Feng Yifan added: And the hotel has a pick-up and drop-off service. If you need to go to a strange city, you can call them directly and ask them 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 lunches.

There are classic steaks in Western food, and some Chinese dishes are presented.

Feng Yifan didn't comment too much and invited everyone to eat together.

After eating it, Shi Jiahui gave a good evaluation: Well, it seems that the chef of the restaurant is quite good. The steak is very good, and these side dishes are also well matched. The sweet and sour short ribs are also a bit... I mean, our two little babies should like to eat it.

Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi also really like to eat it. Children always like the sweet taste.

Yang Zhiyi tasted a piece and thought it was very good.

Okay. Although it's not as good as the one taught by Chef Feng before, the taste is quite good, especially the sweet and sour sauce. It's just right and has a slight sour taste. It's really great.

Feng Yifan smiled but said nothing.

But Feng Ruoruo suddenly said: Uncle Yang, this rib is not good because it contains ketchup. If dad makes it, don't put ketchup in it.

Hearing this, Yang Zhiyi suddenly remembered that when Feng Yifan made it before, he did not put ketchup.

When Feng Yifan saw his daughter speaking, he also said: Actually, you can put ketchup in it to add some flavor. It's not absolutely forbidden. This dish made by the chef here is very well seasoned, and it shouldn't be ketchup. It’s tomato sauce.”

In the back kitchen of the hotel restaurant, the chef and cooks were also gathered together, waiting for the waiter's feedback on Feng Yifan's evaluation.

The chefs are still full of respect for Feng Yifan, the former chef of the hotel headquarters restaurant.

After all, the one-star set menu reserved for hotel restaurants today was designed by Feng Yifan, and after it was bought out by the hotel at a high price, it became the set menu reserved for restaurants in hotel chains around the world.

Now the chefs and cooks in the back kitchen have cooked the dishes in the set meal countless times.

How can the chefs not be excited now that they have seen the person who left that menu in person?

Soon, the waiter in charge of serving at the front ran to the kitchen.

I tasted it, I tasted it, and Mr. Feng said it was passable. His daughter said, your ribs use ketchup, and Mr. Feng doesn't use it when making it. But Mr. Feng said, you can also put ketchup on it. Mr. Feng also said that you use tomato sauce.”

After hearing the report, the chef was a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Feng Yifan would actually find out that he had used tomato sauce.

The traditional sweet and sour short ribs do not use ketchup or tomato sauce. Instead, sugar and vinegar are used to make a sweet and sour sauce, and then poured on the cooked ribs.

Just making sweet and sour sauce is a craft job, and it doesn't take a long time to do it.

Because sweet and sour sauce requires frying the sugar first, this step alone is enough to dissuade many cooks.

Later, you need to stir-fry the vinegar, especially the ratio of vinegar, sugar, and salt, which is also the key to sweet and sour sauce. Another important point is not to stir-fry it too much. If the vinegar smell evaporates, it will also Lose that flavor. So it’s really a test of skill.

Nowadays, there are ketchup and ketchup. Usually, to save trouble, most restaurants will use ketchup and ketchup. The sweet and sour taste is easier to master.

But in this way, it does lack a little bit of vinegar aroma.

As for the hotel restaurant's back chef, in order to cope with Feng Yifan's sudden arrival today, the chef even cooked this dish himself.

The chef used his own method, which was to fry the tomato sauce first, and add some vinegar at the end to give the dish a final vinegar aroma.

The chef didn't expect that it would be eaten by Feng Yifan, and what he didn't expect was that it would be eaten by a little girl.

The waiter continued, and also said some of Feng Yifan's last words.

What follows is a direct reference to the chef's method of cooking the sweet and sour short ribs.

The priority is to fry the tomato sauce and add some vinegar to add some vinegar flavor.

The chef was very convinced. Feng Yifan was able to verbalize all the processes, which was enough to prove his strength.

He is worthy of being the chef who has kept the restaurant following his menu even after being away for four years.

After listening to the story, the chef tidied up his clothes, once again holding the last dessert, he slowly walked out of the kitchen and came to the restaurant, and personally gave the dessert to Feng Yifan and the others.

Putting down the dessert, the chef said to Feng Yifan: Chef Feng, we hotel and restaurant chefs have always been a little bit unconvinced with you, and we don't understand why we have to make the menu you left. Today you made me realize what I am capable of.”

The chef paused and said seriously: I must admit that without your menu, we would not be able to create a menu that can win one star.

After listening to what the restaurant chef said, Feng Yifan smiled and said: Actually, it's nothing. I think you shouldn't always make my menu. You can use your own abilities to try to make something new. Sometimes you don't If you do it, you never know whether it will succeed.”

The chef was stunned when he heard this. He didn't 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 how close other people's dishes are to the creators, but you should be proud of being able to make dishes that surpass the former, so you should Just try hard.”

The chef looked at Feng Yifan, nodded and said, Yes, I know. Thank you, Chef Feng. My name is 'Yu Quan'. I hope I can ask you for advice if I have the opportunity in the future.

Feng Yifan did not refuse: Yeah, okay.

After Equan left, Shi Jiahui said with a smile: This chef is quite motivated and wants to make a breakthrough.

At this point, Shi Jiahui pointed to the steak and said, This steak is actually quite well seasoned.

Feng Yifan also said: Yes, he seasoned the steak sauce and the sweet and sour sauce of the sweet and sour pork ribs himself. It is quite distinctive, but it lacks a little heat.

Shi Jiahui suddenly said: If I were to make this sweet and sour pork ribs and I was not sure about my sweet and sour sauce, and if I wanted to use tomato sauce, I would directly add vinegar and fry first, and then add sugar for seasoning.

After listening to Senior Sister's words, Feng Yifan gave a thumbs up: Senior Sister is really amazing.

Shi Jiahui glared at Feng Yifan and said, Go, go, you always make me feel a little uncomfortable with your compliments.

Feng Yifan laughed: Hahaha, senior sister will have to adapt a lot in the future, otherwise how can she work as a sous chef under me?

Shi Jiahui also laughed after hearing this: Hahaha, I try hard to adapt.

At the same time, the two little girls who had eaten enough, accompanied by brother Shi Tao, were already watching the fish in the middle of the restaurant, and Shi Tao also took photos of them with his mobile phone, and then directly followed Feng Yifan's request, all through Feng Yifan Cell phone sent to mom of two girls.

Su Ruoxi, who had eaten and rested at home, looked at her daughter's photos on her mobile phone.

I also gave it to the child’s grandpa and grandma to watch together.

Seeing the little girls having fun outside makes the family happy and happy.

Of course, Su Ruoxi played with her phone for a while and was asked by her mother-in-law to hand over the phone and go back to her room to take a nap.

Li Fei'er, who was having lunch at work, kept looking at her phone, waiting for the girls' photos.

Occasionally seeing the girls playing around, she couldn't help but laugh in the workplace.

Many colleagues in the unit felt strange, but no one bothered Li Feier's happiness.

Feng Yifan chatted with the senior sister for a while, and then called the two girls who were playing outside back: Ruoruo, Xixi, come back quickly and eat the snacks. Eat the snacks. We have to leave. You two should go upstairs. Going to take a nap.

The two little girls ran back quickly after hearing this.

Before the little girls were about to eat, Shi Jiahui looked at the snacks carefully and said, Hey, the snacks in the restaurant should have been left by Luo Yu.

Feng Yifan suddenly became interested: Really? Then I'll try what others made first.

Upon hearing this, Feng Ruoruo immediately scooped up a piece with a small spoon and handed it to his father's mouth: Dad, Ruoruo's is for you to eat.

Yang Xiaoxi also scooped up a piece and handed it over: Father Feng, Xixi will give it to you too.

This scene made Yang Zhiyi sitting aside very embarrassed.
