Chapter 704: Vanishing Inspiration
However, Ke Hong probably underestimated the Christmas special. www.biquge.info I don't know why, but now Ke Hong suddenly lost his inspiration, and he had no idea how to cook in the face of that pile of fresh Christmas ingredients. With only a week and a half left until Christmas, it was time to add the ingredients to Mr. Stephen's tasting menu in advance......
The production of Christmas special meals is imminent, especially now that it is time for restaurants to promote Christmas specials, and Ke Hong has not yet come up with a formal menu, which makes Bamboo Forest Minor Tunes can only be promoted with a gimmick of "mystery menu".
Although this publicity gimmick attracted considerable popularity, it was also an extremely huge pressure for Ke Hong, because he did not have a menu in mind.
If he can't come up with a recipe on Christmas Day, I'm afraid he will have to deal with it casually and perfunctory with a Christmas special similar to last year's, which will undoubtedly bring deep disappointment to the guests of the bamboo forest tune.
Moreover, since the bamboo forest minor has received a three-star Michelin rating, it is not only the guests who come to eat, but also all kinds of gourmets, food websites or food column writers.
And the Christmas special meal is naturally the focus of these gourmets.
You know, the role of a gourmand is almost a nightmare for a chef.
For ordinary guests, they come with the purpose of tasting food, while the profession of gourmets comes with the purpose of picking thorns, and they taste food purely to find the flaws of the dish. Only the best chefs in the world can leave these foodies speechless.
Ke Hong has always been able to do this very well in the past, so that this group of gourmets can also immerse themselves in the deliciousness of the food.
However, this also means that if this fails, these gourmets will not hesitate to attack him, pour out their disappointment on their readers, and the end result will even lead to the loss of the star of the bamboo forest minor.
Ke Hong knew that the matter was very important, and it was so important that he burned his eyebrows, but this kind of thing was not in a hurry, and the more he pressed, the more uninspired he became. Ke Hong also tried to make some dishes, but he actually knew in his heart that these dishes were not brilliant.
"Don't worry." Su Man put his arms around Ke Hong's neck, leaned on his shoulder and sighed softly, "Take your time." ”
However, there was someone who was more anxious than him, and that was Dong Qingyue, who was more worried about Ke Hong's reputation than the restaurant, so she anxiously paced back and forth in front of Ke Hong and muttered, "How can this be?" Ah Hong, you used to be always very inspired, all kinds of delicious dishes at your fingertips, how can you ...... at this juncture?"
"Sister Xiaoyue, don't worry," Ye Wanjun persuaded on the side, "You will be more anxious like this, it's useless to be in a hurry, let's think of a way." Even if...... The worst outcome, even if the restaurant really doesn't do a good job of downgrading this time, it's still a Michelin restaurant, and isn't there still us? Life is definitely not a problem, and Ah Hong will definitely be able to make a comeback in the end. ”
"You don't understand, Wanjun......" Dong Qingyue sighed in embarrassment, "If it is really downgraded, I am afraid that some of the current shareholders will begin to withdraw their capital, and then this bad review will also lead to a sharp decrease in the number of customers, and then ......"
Speaking of this, Dong Qingyue covered her face and couldn't go on, Hua Yinsu hurriedly interjected when she saw this: "That's fine!" When the time comes, I can ask my parents to think of a way, they have a relationship with the media in Nanhua City, and when the time comes, they will do a little advertising or something, and the customers will slowly return after the turmoil has passed, and I believe that with Ah Hong's ability, it will definitely not cause the restaurant to fall ......."
"Don't talk about it, you all." Qin Shuyu held Ke Hong's head and buried it in his chest in distress at this time, "Ah Hong's face is blue, he is already under a lot of pressure, don't add more pressure to him......"
"I'm sorry, Ah Hong," Dong Qingyue sat down next to Ke Hong and held his hand, "But why is this happening?" I just can't figure it out, it used to be easy for you, but now it's suddenly ...... I'm just trying to find out why. ”
Ke Hong touched Qin Shuyu's brain to signal that she could let go, and then sighed and said, "The previous materials were all freely matched, so I can play freely." This year's ingredients are the same as last year's, and I have to make something completely different from last year's special, which is like ......"
Ke Hong thought for a while and continued: "It's like you want Stephen Chow to act in an idol drama. When people think of him, they have fixed the association with 'comedian', so it will be awkward when acting in idol dramas. ”
Dong Qingyue and the others didn't seem to understand at all, while Ye Wanjun tilted her head and frowned and asked, "Are you trying to say that when you see these ingredients, you can only think of last year's menu, and can't think of new recipes, is that what you mean?" ”
"That's what it means!" Ke Hong grabbed Ye Wanjun's little hand and said.
"But I think the Christmas dishes you make are delicious, the turkey and the prosciutto." Su Man caressed Ke Hong's brain and comforted, Ke Hong said helplessly: "I tried to change it, but in the end I found that it was actually a complete change of soup without a change of medicine, and the overall feeling was basically the same as last year." Let's just say turkey, just change some ingredients, and the method is pretty much the same. ”
Saying that, Ke Hong scratched his head a little anxiously: "It's delicious, but it's not a brand new package, it's not enough, you can't stop those picky gourmets, and Mr. Stephen can't be satisfied." ”
A roast turkey is a roast turkey, and salmon is just salmon, which is the trap of the so-called "holiday food". It's like dumplings, dumplings are dumplings, fried and boiled, it's still dumplings, and it's hard to change the trick in essence. This new package is only a "modified version" of last year's package, and it is not a "new plan" at all.
"I ...... I probably understand what Ah Hong means. Dong Qingyue sighed, held Ke Hong's hand and asked distressedly, "That's ...... What now? Is there anything we can do to help you? Be sure to tell us, anything. ”
Ye Wanjun and the others also nodded, after all, they had never seen Ke Hong so distressed about one thing.
"Anyway, I'll think about it again." Ke Hong said weakly and kissed Dong Qingyue's little hand.
"How did you get your inspiration?" Ye Wanjun asked curiously, "Why is it suddenly gone now?" Figuring this out may solve the problem. We can help you get back to your senses. However, Ke Hong probably underestimated the Christmas special. For some reason, the current Ke Hong suddenly lost his inspiration, and in the face of that pile of fresh Christmas ingredients, he had no clue how to cook. With only a week and a half left until Christmas, it was time to add the ingredients to Mr. Stephen's tasting menu in advance......
