Hardcore Chef Dad

Feng Yifan tasted the snacks handed to him by the two girls respectively, and he had to say that the snacks tasted really good.

Well, these two Montblancs did a good job.

Shi Tao was a little curious and asked: Uncle Yifan, you said these two cakes are called Montblanc? Why are they called that?

Feng Yifan explained with a smile: Mont Blanc refers to a cake made of chestnut puree. There is a peak in the European Alps called 'Mont Blanc'. The earliest cake was made based on the shape of Mont Blanc. In the autumn, Mont Blanc will be made because of the peak on the mountain. Trees appear brown with wilt.

Chestnuts happen to be harvested in autumn, and the chestnut puree is also brown in color, and is made into the shape of Mont Blanc, hence the name.

Including Shi Jiahui, Yang Zhiyi, and the three children all listened very carefully.

Shi Tao praised: Uncle Yifan, you know so much.

Feng Yifan waved his hand: This is actually nothing. I have made desserts abroad, so it is natural for me to understand the various origins of these desserts.

Feng Ruoruo raised the small spoon again and asked her father to eat together.

Feng Yifan said to his daughter: Dad doesn't want to eat shit, so you and Xixi can eat it.

The two little girls started eating by themselves.

Soon, four pieces of the same cake were served.

Feng Yifan did not eat, but shared his own with the two little girls.

Everyone else had a taste of the cake.

After tasting it, Yang Zhiyi said: Well, this tastes really special. It has a faint fragrance of chestnuts. It is really delicious with the cream and chocolate crispy skin below.

Feng Yifan asked Shi Jiahui: Sister, did Luo Yu leave this cake recipe?

Shi Jiahui replied: Yes, it was left by Luo Yu. I heard that Luo Yu also studied for a long time and made such a Montblanc, and similar Montblancs are also the best-selling ones in her and Chen Xi's stores.

Feng Yifan nodded: It seems like this Luo Yu is really quite good.

Shi Jiahui asked curiously: How do you say this?

Feng Yifan explained seriously: Because, under normal circumstances, Montblanc does not have such a strong chestnut aroma, because after the chestnuts are made into chestnut puree, the aroma will evaporate a lot, so after it is made into Montblanc, the chestnut aroma will be lighter.

But the cake in the hotel restaurant has a very strong chestnut aroma and tastes even more delicious.

Feng Ruoruo also followed her father and said, Yes, yes, dad, this cake is so delicious.

Yang Xiaoxi continued: Well, it smells so good, like eating chestnuts.

Yang Zhiyi finished his own and praised: I didn't expect that the dim sum in this restaurant is so delicious. It seems that I can come here specifically for dim sum next time.

Shi Jiahui said with a smile: When Luo Yu was here in the past, people would indeed come here to have snacks.

Feng Yifan didn't speak at this time, he fell into deep thought.

However, he didn't think for long before his daughter's little hand pulled him back from his thoughts.

Dad, we have finished eating. Xixi and I are both sleepy. We need to go upstairs to take a nap.

Feng Yifan came back to his senses and said with a smile: Okay, let's go upstairs.

Afterwards, the group prepared to leave the restaurant.

Knowing that they were leaving, chef Yu Quan still walked out of the kitchen to see Feng Yifan off.

At the door of the restaurant,

Feng Yifan asked the little girls to go with everyone first, while he stayed and chatted with Yu Quan for a while.

Is that last Montblanc formula the one you bought?

Yu Quan nodded and said, Yes, Luo Yu was originally the pastry chef of the restaurant, but later she chose to leave. When she left, the hotel manager purchased several dessert recipes from her after consulting the headquarters.

Feng Yifan asked again: Then how much do you know about Luo Yu and Chen Xi?

Yu Quan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding why Feng Yifan cared so much about those two people?

However, after a slight hesitation, he told Feng Yifan truthfully.

I know Luo Yu relatively well. When she came to the hotel restaurant to be in charge of desserts, I was already the restaurant chef. At first she was a pretty ordinary girl, and she was not very lively and didn't talk much to other colleagues. I don’t hang out with others much during my breaks.

But she has a strong learning ability and a strong hands-on ability. She always followed the pastry chef at the time to learn all kinds of things very seriously. She was really obsessed with dessert making.

According to Yu Quan, Luo Yu was not very outstanding in the hotel restaurant at first.

But Yu Quan still saw that Luo Yu was a very diligent person.

So later Luo Yu challenged the pastry chef and surpassed him in one fell swoop. Yu Quan was not too surprised. He felt that everything was the result of Luo Yu's hard work.

When Yu Quan talked about Luo Yu's departure, it was a bit unbelievable: To be honest, I didn't expect that Luo Yu would choose to leave. I think the treatment given to her by the restaurant is good enough, and she can get more opportunities in the restaurant. Show yourself on a bigger stage.”

What Yu Quan said was not wrong. After all, they are a multinational hotel chain, and the headquarters hotel is a veritable four-star hotel, with a one-star restaurant as a guarantee.

So if Luo Yu stays in the restaurant, she should get the opportunity to go abroad next.

If he can be selected by the headquarters hotel and go there to study, it will definitely improve Luo Yu's dessert making.

But Luo Yu finally chose to leave.

Feng Yifan could guess some of the reasons behind this.

Speaking of which, the reason may have something to do with him, Feng Yifan.

At the beginning, Feng Yifan had just gone abroad and failed in the test of Gugu Catering Group. He didn't want to return to China, so he looked for work everywhere.

At that time, this international hotel and restaurant chain was recruiting workers, so Feng Yifan naturally chose to apply for the job in order to make a living.

Entering the hotel restaurant, Feng Yifan was not favored by anyone at first.

At that time, his foreign language proficiency was not good, and because he had always studied traditional Chinese food, he did not understand Western food. At first, he could only do odd jobs in the kitchen.

However, in just a few months, Feng Yifan relied on his stubbornness to refuse to admit defeat and learned many things about Western cooking by self-study.

And a few months later, in an internal competition in the restaurant's kitchen, he stood out in one fell swoop.

Later, the restaurant received a notice from the hotel that in order to complete the four-star rating, the hotel planned to replace the kitchen staff and hire a chef from a two-star restaurant to be the chef at a high salary.

However, out of mercy, the hotel gave the hotel's chefs a chance. They need to be qualified to enter the star selection. If they can be nominated, then the chefs in the hotel can be retained.

At that time, the chef really wanted to seize that opportunity, but unfortunately he couldn't bear the huge pressure and ultimately failed.

After the chef voluntarily quit, Feng Yifan took on the responsibility of the kitchen chef in order not to lose his job.

Moreover, he successfully got the hotel restaurant nominated during the star selection nomination stage.

It took another half a year for Feng Yifan to successfully get the restaurant one star.

This incident can be said to be a miracle inside the hotel.

After receiving one star, Feng Yifan realized his own shortcomings, so he resolutely chose to leave the hotel restaurant and sold the one-star menu to the hotel at a high price.

The hotel was at a huge loss because they signed an ordinary employment contract with Feng Yifan.

Therefore, there is no way to force Feng Yifan to keep him if he wants to resign.

Therefore, the hotel finally had no choice but to endure the pain, let Feng Yifan leave the hotel, and buy the cooking recipes that Feng Yifan received one star from at a high price.

Later, the hotel revised a contract after some discussions because of this matter.

That contract is used by the hotel headquarters for all employees who go to the headquarters for training.

It was a binding contract, so to speak.

The hotel provides various trainings so that employees from all over the world who have been selected and trained at the hotel headquarters can receive very refined and professional training to help them achieve higher promotions.

But at the same time, after training, employees need to stay in the hotel for at least five years.

Feng Yifan guessed that it was because of this contract that Luo Yu refused to go to the headquarters for training.

Because she met Chen Xi at that time, the two people must have had the idea of ​​being together at that time, so the two people in love naturally did not want to separate, and they still lived apart for five years.

Feng Yifan asked Yu Quan again: Have you seen that Chen Xi? His dim sum is really good?

Yu Quan hesitated for a moment, then said: I've seen it before. Chen Xi studied under the famous dim sum master Zhu Chengqiang in China. He is indeed very accomplished in Chinese dim sum. In that competition, he finally made a traditional Su The Hang Dim Sum 'Chestnut Fragrant Cake' is a tie with Luo Yu.

Feng Yifan couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

According to Shi Jiahui, the dessert shop opened by Chen Xi and Luo Yu mainly specializes in chestnut snacks.

These two people, one makes Chinese-style chestnut cake, and the other also uses chestnuts to make Montblanc. They really feel like a natural pair.

Feng Yifan got a general understanding and said goodbye to Yu Quan.

In the end, Yu Quan couldn't help but ask some questions.

Feng Yifan did give some advice and encouraged Yu Quan to try out his own menu.

Yu Quan is still very satisfied with communicating with Feng Yifan.

After all, for every chef in a hotel restaurant, it is a very exciting thing to see the creator of the one-star set menu on their menu.

Yu Quan not only met people, but also asked a lot of questions. He felt very lucky.

Feng Yifan took the elevator, went upstairs and returned to the room.

What they didn't expect was that both girls didn't sleep and were waiting for Feng Yifan to come back.

Dad, you're back.

Father Feng is back.

Seeing that neither of the two little girls took a nap, Feng Yifan couldn't help but smile and asked: Why don't you two take a nap? Didn't we agree that you go upstairs to take a nap, and when you wake up, we can eat ice cream, and then We can still go out and play.”

Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi immediately exclaimed: Ah, I forgot.

Shi Jiahui said with a smile: These two little girls are a little excited and don't look sleepy at all.

Yang Zhiyi said seriously: They still have to sleep. It has become a habit for them to take a nap. If they don't take a nap, they will be sleepy very early in the afternoon.

Feng Yifan also nodded: Yes, you really should take a nap.

Shi Jiahui thought for a while and said, Let's do this. Shi Tao and I will go back first, and you can coax the two little girls to sleep. When they wake up, we will come back.

Feng Yifan said with a smile: Don't bother me. How about you go sit next door, senior sister, while I put these two little girls to sleep. I still have something to discuss with you, senior sister.

Shi Jiahui looked at Yang Zhiyi and asked, Will it disturb your writing?

Yang Zhiyi waved his hand: No, no, I have already written it on the high-speed rail. Let's go and sit for a while and let these two little girls sleep.

Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi were very well-behaved this time and took the initiative to wave goodbye to Aunt Jia Hui and their brother.

Wait until Yang Zhiyi, Shi Jiahui and Shi Tao leave.

Feng Yifan said to the two little girls: Okay, you two go to bed quickly.

Feng Ruoruo asked again: Dad, can I sleep with Xixi? Can our two children sleep on the same bed?

Feng Yifan nodded: Okay, if you two want to sleep together, just choose a bed.

After some selection, the two little girls finally chose the bed by the window. They took off their shoes and skirts together, put on their sleepy clothes, and then lay down obediently under the quilt.

After lying down, the two little girls naturally asked Feng Yifan to tell a story.

Feng Yifan had no choice but to take out the stories he had saved in advance on his phone and read them to the little girls while looking at his phone. Of course, he still had to be emotional and imitate some of the plots.

Otherwise, if you just read it dryly, the two little girls will not be satisfied.

After finally coaxing the girls to sleep, Feng Yifan stood up gently, closed the curtains in the room, and then walked out of the room quietly.

When they came to Yang Zhiyi's room next door, Shi Jiahui was chatting with Yang Zhiyi.

Yang Zhiyi was very serious at this time. While asking Shi Jiahui about his experience in learning to cook, he also casually recorded it in his notebook.

It is obvious that Yang Zhiyi is making various preparations for his novel.

At this moment, Yang Zhiyi was completely different from his usual unobtrusive father.

He will take notes very carefully and ask many critical and professional questions.

When Shi Jiahui saw Feng Yifan coming, she smiled and said, How boring is the process of learning to cook? You can ask Yifan. He should also know very well. Learning to cook is not as wonderful as many young people think, let alone filming online. It was so easy to make those videos.

Feng Yifan also said: Yes, in fact, in many videos on the Internet, those people recreated many classic state banquet dishes. You can't just watch the ones they shot in their videos. They were all edited. In the process of making the videos, they may have gone through Overturned countless times.”

Shi Jiahui nodded: Yes, it's like when we first learned to cook. When we first learned, many things would be particularly difficult to get started.

Feng Yifan raised his hands and said, There are really countless stab wounds and burns on my hands.

Yang Zhiyi and Shi Tao looked at Feng Yifan's rough hands, and they also had an intuitive feeling.

By this time, the two outsiders finally understood how difficult the training a top chef needs to go through.
