Early in the morning, several tabloids published the news that the Chinese Xia team lost to the top 16 in the global food competition. After losing the game, Liu Yehua and the others immediately returned to China, and the picture on the news was a photo taken at the airport of Liu Yehua's team being interviewed temporarily.

In the photo, Liu Yehua smiled and seemed to be very satisfied with the current result.

In fact, the Huaxia team's ranking every year is not very high, at most it has rushed to the top three, and the second is a little bit, stopping at the top 32 and winning the twelfth place, which is not bad, after all, this is a "global" competition.

Tao Xian got the newspaper, but he snorted.

The top 12 are worthy of Liu Yehua's pride? If his Tongtong goes to participate in the competition, he will definitely come back with the first place.

Touching his chin, Tao Xian smiled evilly, their program recording is about to enter the sixteen-in-eight knockout round, otherwise, they will give Liu Yehua another "publicity, publicity", so that they know that the top 12 is not a glorious term. To stir up public opinion, he is the best at it.

In the morning, there were not many people in Su's Restaurant, only Zhao Fakai and Su Ruotong, and the rest of the managers, waiters, chefs, etc., had not come to work yet, and their working time was ten o'clock in the morning.

Zhao Fakai had a sad face, obviously encountering something difficult, and said to Su Ruotong: "Miss Su, it's not a way for Miss Wei to go on like this." ”

Wei Qingxiao has been socializing more and more recently, calling friends in the capital, whether it is an old man who is sixty years old or a high school student, she has made some friends. Some of these people were fine, but the other part knew that when she was waiting for a leader in Su's Restaurant, she would ask Wei Qingxiao to help them go through the relationship and add a meal.

Since the Beijing branch of Su's Restaurant is positioned as a high-end restaurant, and there are not many seats, if you want to dine, you need to book steps, and now the earliest seats will not be vacated until next month. Although the restaurant always vacates a table as a mobile table in order to cope with emergencies, the people brought by Wei Qingxiao are easy to handle when there are few, and when there are many people, it is not a table that can sit down.

What's more, Wei Qingxiao's friends are not all those who have the ability to go in and out of high-end restaurants on weekdays. It's not Zhao Fakai's power, but at least everyone else is neatly dressed and comes to eat, Wei Qingxiao led the two of them to wear I-shaped vests, but the places on their bodies are full of colorful tattoos, and they can't tell whether it is a man or a woman who comes in, and she didn't make the lobby manager angry on the spot, she really has enough self-cultivation.

"I'll tell her when she comes. Hearing Zhao Fakai complain, Su Ruotong replied calmly. Some time ago, she was busy with the affairs of the Yumei Foundation, and she usually stayed in the Su Restaurant before Wei Qingxiao brought someone to leave, but she had heard some rumors before, but she didn't expect Wei Qingxiao to become so intense.

said that she was waiting for Wei Qingxiao, Su Ruotong was really waiting for Wei Qingxiao, and she was not idle, so she helped in the kitchen.

Zhao Fakai himself is a fast hand, Su Ruotong is faster, ten o'clock, when the manager of the restaurant and a few chefs came to work, they were shocked to find that the ingredients to be prepared in advance for today's cooking have been cooked by Su Ruotong and Zhao Fakai, and the two are sitting behind the kitchen facing a piece of paper and seem to be memorizing the recipe - you know, usually Zhao Fakai will also arrive early, but they have to wait until ten o'clock when they come, and dozens of people are busy together until about eleven o'clock before they can all be dealt with.

So, did Su Ruotong and Zhao Fakai come here in the middle of the night last night and work here all night? This is impossible! When they left yesterday, Zhao Fakai was with them, and the closed main gate downstairs of the commercial building where they were located was locked at night and would not open until 8 o'clock in the morning.

They have seen Su Ruotong cook a few times, but it was the first time they had seen her work in handling ingredients, and their admiration for Su Ruotong became more and more high.

Several chefs knew that Zhao Fakai and Su Ruotong were both people without a shelf, so they came to them and watched them write recipes, only to find out at a glance that it was not a recipe at all, but two people listed a bunch of ingredients on a piece of paper, half of which were recent seasonal dishes, and the other part was the less common kind.

Seeing several chefs coming around, Zhao Fakai smiled: "It's just right, everyone is here!" Miss Su has been spending more time in the kitchen recently, and everyone can be more relaxed. The three branches on the Xinhai side have new dishes every three or five times, and everyone sees it, and we can't lag behind. ”

The four chefs are quite ashamed to say this, the menu of Su's Restaurant is decided by Zhao Fakai, basically one to three new dishes will be launched every two weeks, and the entire menu, at this rate, is completely metabolized every six months. As for the updating of the recipes, except for Zhao Fakai who contributes a new dish from time to time, there are a few of them, but they don't have half of the credit.

They have also questioned this practice of replacing recipes.

At the beginning, several chefs were still a little uncomfortable, Su's Restaurant can get the dishes on the menu, unless some people are taboo, otherwise it is definitely a dead end of never getting tired of eating, any one is replaced, they will be a pity, worried about the next time the guest comes to order again? But in fact, this situation is very rare!

This is an era of information explosion, and it is also an era of liking the new and hating the old, who has so much time to be nostalgic.

And, when a guest asks about a dish they have eaten before, if the guest asks about fish, the waiter will recommend a new dish for the rest of the fish in the restaurant, and if the question is hot and sour, then recommend a new hot and sour dish, there is always a substitute, but the response is better, and most importantly, even if it is a regular customer who comes often, he will not get tired of eating, so as to make the restaurant invincible.

"Listen to Miss Su. The four chefs said.

"It's your first time cooking. Su Ruotong raised her head, and her voice was like a jade bead pouring down: "So cook with a relatively simple proposition, you don't need to play freely, this is the set ingredients, I will call the supplier to send it in a while." If I am satisfied with the dishes made this time, I can change the menu next week and use it. ”

Several chefs were excited, especially Li Weining, he felt that he must win, because he was not alone, and he could still call his national player father to discuss!

There is not much work for them to do in the kitchen at the moment, and the chefs are looking at the list of ingredients, each pondering and researching. Cooking, too, must be imaginative.

Su Ruotong didn't have anything else to do, so she went outside to stay.

Zhao Fakai rushed out, looked at Su Ruotong with some stagger, and said, "Miss Su, do you think they have a good chance of winning today?"

He is not as enthusiastic as those chefs, and he can hear what Su Ruotong really means, what Su Ruotong said is that if the new dishes they designed satisfy her, they will only appear on next week's menu, but not whoever wins can put on the recipe, maybe none of these four can satisfy Su Ruotong.

This is not Zhao Fakai's thoughts, even his master, Bao Ruwen, and Charlie have all studied cooking with Su Ruotong for half a year before they finally made a dish that can satisfy her. These chefs in the Beijing branch have basically never been trained by Su Ruotong, and they have a little second-hand learning in his hands, and it is difficult to satisfy Su Ruotong at this stage.

Su Ruotong said lightly: "Zhao Fakai, do you know who of the three masters over there in Xinhai is the fastest to make a dish that satisfies me?"

Zhao Fakai was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "It's my master!" After all, his master Bao Ruwen is turning over tricks to come up with new dishes, and Li Hongxing and Charlie are not as good as him.

"Did you listen to your master praising me about me?" Su Ruotong asked rhetorically.

"No!" Zhao Fakai was a little puzzled. He really couldn't remember that Bao Ruwen boasted about this to him, and he understood in an instant, with Bao Ruwen, a person who likes to step on others to praise himself and show off how good he is at every turn, if he can really be the first to make a dish that satisfies Su Ruotong, he must be a big brag about it.

"The first person to make a dish that satisfied me was Chef Charlie, who had been studying with me for less than a month and had made a very delicious mixed vegetable cream turkey. The second one is Master Li, who studied with me for the second month and made a white jade plum blossom. The third is your master, who studied with me for half a year and made a meatball inlaid eggplant dragon. ”

Zhao Fakai's mouth opened wide all of a sudden!

He never thought that this would be the case. It's no wonder that his master never took the initiative to mention this matter, and occasionally when he talked about this, he deliberately vaguely said that everyone and Su Ruotong learned art, and it took about half a year to make the first new dish.

In the past two years outside, Zhao Fakai's knowledge has been broadened, and his brain has become more flexible, and he has slowly recalled. Su Ruotong's words are directional.

Charlie was the first to make dishes that satisfied Su Ruotong, followed by Li Hongxing, and it took a long time for Bao Ruwen to come up and taste it carefully, just because Charlie was born after serious and strict chef training, and his control of cooking skills is excellent.

Although Li Hongxing is a few steps late, he is also a person who is good at learning and pondering.

Only his master Bao Ruwen, no culture, no connotation, babbling all day long, dare to blow towards ten points if he has three points, even if he is the best cooking talent among the three people, but because of the defects of personality and foundation, progress is also the most difficult, until he stumbled for half a year, he touched the threshold of really entering the door of cooking......

On the other hand, those chefs in the kitchen, although they may not look as good as him now, but they have a good foundation, a good background, and a better taste for dishes, except for those skills that Su Ruotong taught to Bao Ruwen, and Bao Ruwen taught him again, they are not inferior to him at all, and they even completely surpass Bao Ruwen and Li Hongxing, who have not been trained by Su Ruotong at the beginning. Therefore, it is not a miracle that they can make a new dish that satisfies Su Ruotong, but a matter of course.

Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on Zhao Fakai's head.

The gentleman should save himself three times a day, this is really not false! He has been too smooth sailing lately, and if he continues like this, it will be a matter of time before he is replaced by the head chef.

Su Ruotong could see Zhao Fakai's thoughts, and bowed his head to Zhao Fakai: "Don't be arrogant. You have something in you that they don't have. ”

Zhao Fakai was stunned, as if he understood what Su Ruotong was talking about, but he didn't seem to understand.

On the windowsill of the restaurant, a pot of decorative grass was placed, which grew vigorously in the light and had not been touched for more than half a year. In the restaurant, the rest of the beautiful and delicate roses used for decoration, elegant and fragrant daffodils, have to be changed every three days!

Zhao Fakai doesn't understand, but Su Ruotong understands that in life, perseverance is also very important!
