Chapter 640: Reason to Hold On
Shen Anyan thought that Su Zifang would be more restrained, but she didn't expect it to be such a brainless remark!
Turned his head away and didn't want to say anything more.
Unexpectedly, this time Ma Chengan did not leave, but sat down and said very seriously: "Why?"
Su Zifang also replied seriously.
"It's a pity. ”
Ma Chengan didn't understand what Su Zifang meant, and looked at him suspiciously.
"Majia cuisine should be a good brand of northwest cuisine, but it's a pity that I stayed in this place, in Anchang County, and didn't go outside to make a name for myself. ”
After Su Zifang finished explaining, Ma Chengan laughed: "So you mean this." ”
"Why does Master Su think it's a pity?" Ma Chengan narrowed his eyes and smiled a little.
"Shouldn't more people eat something so delicious?"
But it doesn't have to be. ”
Ma Chengan thought for a few seconds and spoke softly.
"For many people, they eat good and bad food, and they just have a thought that it is good, and they don't feel that this is a thing to be happy and excited about. ”
"That's probably why I don't want to bother doing it anymore. ”
"If you're making something that others think is average, but it's actually good, then there's no need to try any harder. ”
Su Zifang listened to Ma Chengan's words and didn't know how to refute it for a while.
He had never thought about such a thing when he was silent.
But now that I think about it carefully, I find that what Ma Chengan and he are thinking about is not actually the same problem.
For him, Shibu is facing the pursuit of many restaurants in Jingling, so he can only make it more and more delicious, and he can't retreat in the slightest.
And Ma Chengan did not have any opponents in Anchang County.
With the essence of the Ma family's recipes, the Ma family's father and son mutton banquet is invincible all over the city in this small county.
In this case, the Ma family's father and son may only think of maintaining the status quo.
All diners are treated to the same taste and quality as they were at the beginning, and there is a natural sense of exhaustion.
This is also the conclusion that Su Zifang came to when he chatted with diners in the past two days.
In fact, diners have a high evaluation of the taste of the dishes made by the Ma family father and son, otherwise it would not be possible to queue for hours at noon and evening to eat.
But the problem is also serious.
The same dish, the same taste, has not changed for a long time, as if it will always be the same.
Diners still come, but after a few times, they don't have to come, but they don't feel new.
Su Zifang informed Ma Chengan of his opinion, and the latter was visibly stunned for a few seconds.
After a moment, there was a bit of loss and confusion on his face.
"Is that so?"
Ma Hexuan obviously accepted this fact better than his father, and looked at Ma Chengan with a sigh: "This problem has happened. ”
"Some customers have privately reported that there are no new dishes, but I can't think of a solution, so I haven't told you. ”
"Recently, there have been a lot of other restaurants opening in the county. ”
"In terms of taste, there are still shortcomings, but in terms of quality and pattern, it is much better than us. ”
Ma Chengan was silent.
After a while, he looked up at Su Zifang: "Boss Su, Ming people don't say secret words, what do you want?"
Su Zifang didn't hide his thoughts when he heard this, and said directly: "I hope you can go to Jingling with Brother Hexuan and carry forward the Ma family's cuisine." ”
"Carry it forward?"
"It's easy to say, but how do you carry it forward?"
"Tail Burning Feast!"
Su Zifang continued to speak: "Because I know the recipe, I used the banquet dish of roasted tail banquet in a competition. ”
"I didn't use it again when I learned about it. ”
"Actually, I have an idea this time, that is, the two of you go out of the mountain to restore the roast tail feast. ”
"At present, we already have ancient banquets such as the Red Mansion Banquet in our store, and if there is another roasted tail banquet, then the restoration of the ancient banquet can be improved. ”
Hearing this, Ma Chengan was a little moved, but he still shook his head after a few seconds.
"No, I can't. ”
"We're leaving, what's the village banquet?"
Ma Hexuan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded violently: "Yes, the village banquet is a big problem!"
Village feast?
Su Zifang's brows furrowed slightly.
He never knew that there might be a problem with the village banquet before, and looked at Ma Chengan with a puzzled expression.
"Actually, we are not here to make money, but for the village banquet!"
Ma Chengan opened his mouth softly and told a piece of the past.
"In the early days, after our family's recipes were lost, we always relied on groping for our ancestors' specialties and specialties. ”
"At that time, it was almost going to go out of business, but an order for a village banquet came. ”
"Our father and son were busy for a week and finally finished the dishes for the village banquet, and finally decided after letting the newlyweds taste them. ”
The next day, all the guests were satisfied with the village banquet and asked the chef who was cooking. ”
"When I found out that it was us, I started to invite them. ”
"At first, I gave less, but now I am gradually increasing, with an average of one per week. ”
"It's different from the city, there are a lot of hotels where you can do village dinners. ”
"If we're gone, there's no one to do for them. ”
"When the time comes, the price will be raised by others, and the taste will not be easy to say. ”
"It's too inappropriate to let others lose face on something as big and important as a banquet. ”
"Once when I sent a diner out of the door, he lamented how great it would be if this kind of village feast could be popularized by everyone. ”
"The people in the village have no money, and they have to spend a lot of money on banquets, so there is no need for them to work hard and lose money. ”
"If our father and son can save these people, then there is no problem. ”
After Ma Chengan finished speaking, Su Zifang suddenly felt a little ashamed.
He is talking about the relationship of interests and reputation, while Ma Chengan is thinking about the people's livelihood, which is much higher than himself in terms of starting point and intention.
Su Zifang suddenly understood why Ma Chengan was willing to stick here.
This is the same as Su Xingchao returning to Joy Street to take root no matter what, it is faith and perseverance.
And on this point, Su Zifang can't refute it.
The problem that Ma Chengan said does exist.
It's not realistic to let everyone in the village go to the hotel to set up a banquet, and it's a bit of a waste to let these two top chefs cook the village banquet here.
After a pause for a few seconds, Su Zifang suddenly thought of a way.
"Why don't you try to take in apprentices?"
"Anyway, the banquet must be taught, so that the apprentices can start learning the village banquet and come to Jingling by themselves. ”
"When the time comes, if you succeed in the assessment, you must come back for a two-year village banquet before you can leave, otherwise you will have to pay for your own study?"
After Su Zifang finished coming up with an idea, the two fell silent at the same time, obviously a little moved by Su Zifang's proposal.
"That taste"
"Just make sure that he makes it delicious, the taste is a very subjective thing, don't force it!"
Su Zifang expressed his opinion.
There was silence in the room for a long time.
Ma Chengan's face showed a little hesitation: "Let me think about it!"
