Hardcore Chef Dad

After Feng Yifan left, the women at the front desk couldn't help but talk about him.

Do you think that Chef Feng is actually very handsome?

He doesn't look very handsome, but his temperament is really comfortable to look at. His gentle and elegant demeanor, although he is tall and powerful physically, does not make people feel oppressive and makes people feel comfortable.

By the way, have you watched the video of Chef Feng cooking on the Internet? I think when Chef Feng puts on the chef uniform, he looks like a top chef standing there.

He is a top chef. Don't forget, he used to be the chef of our hotel headquarters restaurant.

Yes, I heard from the chef, Xiao Wang, that the one-star menu in our hotel restaurant was left by Chef Feng.

Wow, is it so awesome? The one-star menu was created by Chef Feng?

Well, the one-star menu is said to have been bought and used by the hotel headquarters at a high price.

“Do I need to pay for the menu too?”

Of course, if you go out to buy recipes, doesn't it cost money?

That's right.

Besides, that menu is not comparable to ordinary recipes. Chef Feng will leave the entire cooking process, as well as various seasoning ratios, to the hotel.

No wonder, our hotel restaurant has kept that menu.

Don't you know? I heard that today at noon, Chef Feng treated guests to a meal in the restaurant, and he cooked all the dishes himself.

Wow, a chef is a chef. He cooks everything when he goes out to eat.

Obviously you cook in person to entertain important guests, right?

No, I heard, it's just because his daughter asked for it.

Wow, Chef Feng really loves his daughter.

Oh, it's a pity. She is already married and has such a lovely daughter. We have no chance.

Don't be a nymphomaniac. How can such a powerful top chef fall in love with us casually?

Wu Tongtong did not participate too much in the chat among the women at the front desk. She was still thinking about how to explain the situation to Luo Yu after get off work.

After Feng Yifan left the hotel front desk, he went upstairs again and returned to Shi Jiahui's room.

Because their daughter was taking a nap in the room, the two elderly people could only stay in Shi Jiahui's room.

Seeing Feng Yifan coming back, Lu Xiguo stood up and said with a smile: Our chef is finally back.

Feng Yifan heard this and responded with a smile: Uncle, you are really embarrassing me. I don't dare to say that I am a chef, and I can't afford to stand up to greet you like this.

Quan Chengping said from the side: Yifan, today's lunch dish is really eye-opening for us. We were just chatting just now.

Lu Xiguo sat down and nodded and said, Yes, we were just talking about, how did you come up with those dishes?

Feng Yifan smiled and replied: I might think about this sometimes, and then when necessary,

You can take it out and try it out.

Speaking of this, Feng Yifan also apologized to everyone: I have never cooked the last two dishes at noon today because the lobster and the side-toothed seabass are a bit too big. I feel that they cannot be wasted, so I will make them last. I’m really embarrassed to have cooked two dishes and let everyone taste my trial creation.”

Everyone was a little surprised after hearing these words. Are they just two trial works?

Shi Tao couldn't help but said: Uncle Yifan, your two trial works are so good, then if you make them seriously, wouldn't they be even more delicious?

When Shi Jiahui heard her son's words, she immediately said: What are you talking about? Do you think your uncle Yifan won't do it seriously when trying out works?

Feng Yifan laughed: Yes, even if it is a trial work, every dish must be cooked carefully and carefully.

Lu Xiguo and Quan Chengping were even more impressed by Feng Yifan.

The two dishes are just conceived in the mind and are still in the trial stage. To be able to achieve such good results in the first trial, how much confidence does one have to have in one's own cooking skills?

Lu Xiguo said: Yifan, it seems that you are very confident in your cooking skills? These two dishes are just a trial dish, but you can produce such results that the hotel restaurant even wants to buy them directly. Authorization, you are really incredible.

Quan Chengping also nodded: Yes, your confidence and cooking skills are really amazing.

Feng Yifan naturally knows very well that although these two dishes are not available now, they are also two dishes that he will make in the future and will be well received. So it's like you copied your own menu in advance, but now that you're making your own original dishes in the future, it shouldn't count as copying.

The two grandfathers were very sincere and did not hesitate to praise them, so he naturally accepted them calmly.

Thank you, grandpas, for liking it. Although it is my first time to make those two dishes, every step of the cooking process is based on the experience of previous people, so the trial works presented have such effects.

Quan Chengping said: The experience is indeed there, and everyone knows it, but it is not easy to integrate it well.

Shi Jiahui nodded and said: It is indeed not easy. The finished product of each dish requires many attempts.

Feng Yifan also agreed: Yes, any dish needs to be tried many times and constantly improved before it can finally appear what we expect and satisfy diners.

Having said this, Feng Yifan added: Sister, you should know that there are some cooking exams abroad that require some improvisation on the spot.

Shi Jiahui said: Well, I know this. It does require the chef to have the ability to improvise.

Feng Yifan said: How can we present the best dishes during improvisation? That is actually the result of a chef's daily efforts.

Everyone present understood that Feng Yifan's seemingly impromptu trial cooking was actually a manifestation of his accumulated cooking skills over the years.

Lu Xiguo thought for a while and said again: Yifan, are you really not considering opening a store in Shanghai?

When Quan Chengping saw Lu Xigu bringing up this matter again, he quickly said to the side: Yes, if you need money, Yifan, we two old men can help you. We really think that if you can come Opening a store in Shanghai should lead to higher achievements.

Feng Yifan smiled and shook his head: Thank you two grandpas, but we probably won't come to Shanghai. If we want to truly make the dishes the best, we actually need to stay away from the excessive bustle and bustle.

Speaking of this, Feng Yifan looked at Shi Jiahui.

The latter also smiled and said: Yes, I am willing to join the Yifan team. I also want to work with Yifan to research and create some dishes. If it is too utilitarian, it will be difficult to make it well.

The attitude of Feng Yifan and Shi Jiahui seems to be very clear. They hope to concentrate on cooking well.

It's not just to come to Shanghai and use Feng Yifan's reputation to open a store and make money.

However, Lu Xigu couldn't help but said: But have you ever thought about it? If you are in Huaicheng, if the price is too high, you may not be able to consume it in Huaicheng, but if the price is too low, you will spend so much Is it worth the effort?

This time Feng Yifan did not speak, but Shi Jiahui smiled and said: Uncle Yifan, we understand your kindness, but have you ever thought about it, we just want to make money, why do we need to spend so much effort on research? Where are the dishes?”

Lu Xiguo and Quan Chengping looked at each other, and they were really surprised that Shi Jiahui would say these words.

Feng Yifan went on to explain: If I just want to make money, I just need to get my three-star menu back, then open restaurant branches in major cities across the country, and then recruit a group of capable chefs and let them learn how to cook well. Just go to major cities and do it.”

One sentence left Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping speechless.

According to Feng Yifan, it seems that you can make more money that way.

To put it bluntly, that approach is just about selling brand and reputation.

But unlike those brand effects such as clothing, at least the restaurant's menu is indeed a recognized three-star menu, but it is not cooked by the chef who created the menu.

Feng Yifan added: Why did my wife's grandfather choose to leave the capital and return to Huaicheng to run a small restaurant?

Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping also understood at this time.

This is not about making money, but about making good food and passing on the culture behind the food.

So what Feng Yifan wants to do now is the same thing. He is not just to make money, but to pass on the things from his wife's family and use what he has learned to improve and carry forward the tradition.

So, instead of opening various branches across the country, it is better to stay in the ancient streets of Huaicheng.

Always maintain the inheritance and operation of such a quaint little restaurant.

So isn't that another way of doing business?

After all, if the reputation spreads, Feng Yifan's small restaurant will definitely become a popular place for diners across the country and even the world.

Feng Yifan finally smiled and said: We want diners to come to the store, not us to them.

After Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping glanced at each other, the two old men also remembered: some foreign restaurants that are very classic, have received high praise, and even surpass star ratings are often not restaurants that open in downtown areas, let alone in restaurants. Restaurants with branches all over the world.

From this point of view, Feng Yifan's choice was not wrong.

This is also an absolute confidence.

My restaurant is unique. We have no branches. If you want to taste our dishes, you must come to my restaurant. And we only cook dishes from our own restaurants and will not cook popular dishes.

At the same time, the prices of such restaurants will not be as high as those branded restaurants opened in big cities.

The two old men Lu Xiguo and Quan Chengping understood that Feng Yifan and the others were a group of people pursuing their cooking dream.

Quan Chengping said: I admire you very much. You are a group of people who dare to pursue higher dreams. Lao Lu, now I really want to say, it is good to be young.

Lu Xigu also smiled and nodded: Yes, it's great to be young. Dare to think and do what you want.

Shi Jiahui suddenly said: Grandpas, if you say this, don't you make me, an old man, look very out of place?

Shi Tao immediately said: Mom, you are also young, and you are not old.

Feng Yifan also said: Yes, Senior Sister, how come you are old? If it wasn't for seniority, I should have called you Junior Sister.

When Shi Jiahui heard this, she immediately glared at Feng Yifan: Yifan, I noticed that Ruo Xi is not here, and you have no control over your words. Do you dare to call me junior sister in front of Ruo Xi?

Feng Yifan laughed dryly and said, Sister, let's not play like this.

Seeing Feng Yifan start to panic instantly, everyone couldn't help laughing.

In the following time, Feng Yifan and the others chatted with the two old people for a while.

The two little girls were sleeping in Feng Yifan and his daughter's room, while Yang Zhiyi was working on a manuscript in his room.

At this moment, Yang Zhiyi once again tasted the hardships of a writer.

Obviously he didn't have to go out today and could rest well in the hotel, but everyone could drink tea and chat, and he was the only one who had to work hard on the manuscript.

And for Yang Zhiyi, he had to write it before his daughter woke up from her nap.

Otherwise, when his daughter wakes up, he needs to take her to play with him.

Maybe I can only go back to the hotel very late, and I have to wait for my daughter to fall asleep, and then I can quietly burn the midnight oil to fight alone.

Fortunately, after unremitting efforts, Yang Zhiyi finished it before his daughter woke up. After breathing a long sigh of relief, he also took a shower in the room, changed his clothes and went to Shi Jiahui's room.

Yang Zhiyi stepped into the room refreshed and saw that the two little girls were not there. He knew that the little girls were not awake yet.

He was really secretly relieved, and then asked strangely: Eh? Ruoruo and Xixi haven't woken up yet?

Feng Yifan smiled and asked: Is the great writer finished?

Yang Zhiyi quickly said: No, no, I'm not a great writer. Chef Feng, please don't call me like that. This great writer calls me so hard that I really don't dare to answer.

Feng Yifan imitated Yang Zhiyi and said, No, then, Writer Yang, don't call me Chef Feng, either.

Everyone else in the room couldn't help but laugh.

Shi Tao smiled and said, Uncles, can you stop being so funny?

Shi Jiahui said: You should be photographed like this, and then after Ruoruo and Xixi wake up, let our two little babies take a look.

The two fathers also looked at each other and smiled, and their relationship seemed to become more easy-going at this moment.

After waiting for a while, Feng Yifan felt that it was almost time for the two little girls to get up, and went to his room with Yang Zhiyi.

As soon as the two fathers entered the door, they found that there were no two little girls on the two beds.

Later, the two fathers looked for the bathroom and found that after the bathroom door was opened, there was no little girl inside.

This time, the two fathers were shocked.

Yang Zhiyi asked nervously: Did you get up early and sneak out of the room?

Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, Isn't it possible? The door to Senior Sister's room is always open. We should hear the noise outside?

Yang Zhiyi continued: How about we go to the hotel quickly and adjust the surveillance on this floor.

Feng Yifan felt that this was really the only way now, so he nodded and said, Okay, let's go.

Just as the two fathers were about to go out, they suddenly heard a faint burst of suppressed laughter coming from the closet at the door of the room.
