"Brother Hao. You're finally here. ”

As usual, Jin Haotian, the owner of the cooking class, pedaled his eighty percent new mountain bike to the store near noon.

Before entering the door, a waiter greeted him and said truthfully.

"What's wrong, what's going on?" Jin Haotian asked.

"Look at it." The waiter pointed to the inside and said.

Through the gate, Jin Haotian found that there were many more than 20 people inside, some of these people were holding mobile phones, some were holding professional cameras, and even some were carrying a video camera.

Walking up to take a look, it turned out that Shao Xiang, who was good at food carving in the back kitchen, was busy carving a big winter melon with a big head, and the onlookers who were taking pictures and videos were watching the gradually forming image and let out a burst of sighs.

"What's going on?" Jin Haotian pulled over a waiter and said softly.

"Brother Hao, you're on fire." The waiter said with a smile.

"It's on fire, what's on fire?" Jin Haotian was confused.

"That's right." The waiter told Jin Haotian the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Jin Haotian sat by the window on a whim that day to carve the horse stepping on Feiyan, and the process happened to be faithfully recorded by a passing DV enthusiast with the DV machine in his hand, and put it on the Internet.

The spread of the Internet is unimaginable to ordinary people, and the click rate has risen in an instant, and some people have a trace of doubt at the same time, in order to find out the truth of the matter, some local netizens specially organized a group to visit and verify.

But they didn't know Jin Haotian's schedule and rest time, they came a little early, and they were very frustrated, and at the same time, their doubts about the authenticity of the video deepened, and they talked about everything for a while.

In order to dispel their doubts, and in order to enhance the popularity of their restaurant, Chef Shao Xiang in the back kitchen decided to carve some simple food carving works for everyone on the spot, when a piece of vivid flowers, birds and fish from different ingredients such as radish and winter melon were presented, they but these people who came to falsify were also impressed by Master Shao's craftsmanship, so they asked Master Shao to connect some unique skills.

It is difficult to resist enthusiasm, and at the same time, in order to promote the popularity of the cooking class, Shao Xiang, who owns a share of the cooking class, readily agreed to the request of these people. These penmen can bring great honor and many diners to the restaurant, but if the pen in their hands is crooked, the reputation and business of the restaurant will suffer greatly.

So on a large winter melon, without a draft, he began the creation of a fine food sculpture with the theme of dragon and phoenix Chengxiang.

I saw him holding a bright small carving knife on the skin of the winter melon from time to time to cut, dig, chisel and carve.

After a while, a dragon and a phoenix hovered on the dark green winter melon skin, the dragon was a rising dragon, opened its mouth and turned around, looking back at the phoenix; The phoenix is a phoenix, spreading its wings and cocking its tail, and raising its eyes to look at the dragon. The surrounding clouds are peaceful.

When Shao Xiang put down the carving knife in his hand, the young people around him couldn't help but applaud excitedly and cheered continuously.

Hearing such warm applause, Shao Xiang was also very excited, and the fatigue of his body suddenly disappeared, and he couldn't stop laughing on his face to show his gratitude.

After the excitement, everyone surrounded the newly baked dragon and phoenix Chengxiang and kept taking pictures, and for a while, the shutter sound was endless, and the flash was continuous.

At this time, Shao Xiang saw Jin Haotian who stretched out his thumb not far away to praise him, and said in his heart that it was all a ghost made by your kid, and it made no sense that Lao Tzu was suffering here, so he smiled narrowly.

Seeing his ill-intentioned smile, Jin Haotian chuckled in his heart and said that his heart was broken, and he hurriedly turned around and wanted to quit, but unfortunately it was too late, and his ears rang at the right time, Shao Xiang's annoying voice: "The main master you are looking for is the boss of our cooking class, just over there, you can communicate with him, his level is much higher than mine." ”

When everyone who was busy taking pictures heard this, they quickly turned their heads and saw a familiar figure preparing to go out, and hurriedly shouted: "Boss, show us a hand." ”

This is really a painful thing for Jin Haotian, who doesn't like to be in the limelight, but it was found out, and it was very rude to avoid it in his own store, then again, this is also a great thing to enhance the popularity of the cooking class, and it is not an unsightly thing, so he smiled helplessly, pointed at Shao Xiang unhappily, and then walked up to them.

It was another performance and commentary, and everyone was satisfied.

In order to thank Jin Haotian and Shao Xiang for their wonderful performances, everyone had a good meal in the cooking class for lunch, and when they left, they also bought the food sculptures carved by Jin Haotian and Shao Xiang that were not easy to preserve.

In order to thank these people, Jin Haotian gave them a VIP card, which made everyone very happy.

After these people went back, they uploaded the videos and pictures they took today to the Internet, and for a while, the three words cooking class became a hot topic on the Internet, which also brought a lot of customers to the cooking class.

From this matter, he also gave Jin Haotian some inspiration and ideas, so he convened several masters in the kitchen and held a small meeting.

"Our business has been quite hot in recent days." Jin Haotian said happily while distributing cigarettes to everyone.

"It's all thanks to your food eagle, boss."

"Yes, a lot of people have been coming for this food eagle these days."

"I knew that I could become a big star with a few skills in food carving, so I went to learn a few hands."

Several people said with a smile.

"Hehe, who told you not to learn." Shao Xiang said proudly.

"Okay, I have some immature ideas, let's sum it up and see if it can be done." Jin Haotian said.

Executive Chef, said, "Boss, you say." ”

Everyone quieted down, waiting for Jin Haotian to speak.

"When chatting with a few guests in the past few days, they generally reflected that the dishes we made were really nothing to say, full of color, flavor, and taste, very delicious, and very distinctive, but they also proposed a small suggestion, which we didn't realize before." Jin Haotian said.

"What is built." Everyone asked in unison, "There is a misdirection in our positioning." "Jin Hao Heavenly Dao.

"Positioning?"

"Yes, positioning. For now, our restaurant can only be a food stall at best, and the main customers are veterans and military enthusiasts who are very affectionate to the army, and the rest are basically passers-by. People from other levels rarely come to us. Especially some white-collar workers and some business people. It's not that our food isn't delicious, it's that our presentation is not high-grade. ”

"Plating?" Everyone looked at each other.

"It's plating, whether it's the quality of the ingredients in our store, or the craftsmanship of the squad leaders, it's no worse than some five-star ones, but why can they sell the cabbage at the price of white jade, and we can only sell the white jade at the price of cabbage? The reason is that we are too real, do not pay attention to the presentation of the dishes, here are some of the photos I took of some dishes in five-star hotels, to be honest, the taste is really far worse than ours, but the price of people and we are really a heaven and an underground. After Jin Haotian finished speaking, he took out some photos and handed them to several chefs, and each photo also marked the price of the dishes.

They took a look, and it was really beautiful, beautiful, and full of artistic conception, no wonder they could sell it at this high price.

"A few old squad leaders, can you do it like this?" Jin Haotian asked.

"Yes." Executive chef Wang Xihe said categorically: "When I was in the army before, the head of the military region once came to inspect our company, and we also set up such a plate. ”

"We've done it too." Several other chefs also said.

"That's good." Jin Haotian patted his thigh and said happily: "Since recently, while we ensure the quality of the dishes, we have also played a little trick, I have also seen in the past few days, when some of our good-looking dishes go up, some customers, especially young customers, will take out their mobile phones to take pictures and upload them to the Internet." ”

"And the names of our dishes have to be changed, they can't be so straightforward and cheesy." Inspired by the Wang Xihe River also built yì road.

"It's the boss, the names of our dishes are really cheesy, the scum of the soil, you see what their names are, 'Treading the snow and looking for plums' is actually coconut egg custard." A chef spoke.

"It makes sense, I used to eat a Cantonese dish "Hundred Birds Return to Luan's Nest". In fact, it is to enclose a "bird's nest" with shredded greens, put a few transparent quail eggs in the middle, place a few fat grass finches around the nest, and pour some chicken juice shallow at the bottom of the plate, like a gently flowing stream. The whole picture is natural and tranquil, like a picture of pastoral scenery. Before the eater has raised the basket, he will imagine in the reverie of "the mountain weather is good, and the birds are returning to each other". Jin Haotian recalled, and then said: "That's it, we will be closed for a few days these days, and the brothers in the lobby will be given a few days off, and you will work hard, pick up our dishes, and put out some beautiful decorations, I will be your logistics minister, waiting for your dispatch, I am looking for some masters to taste our dishes and give our dishes a good reputation." Then ask a photographer to take pictures of these dishes and put them on the Internet, and find someone to build our own website, when the time comes, we will carve some exquisite gadgets according to the number of people at each table, and give them free of charge after they finish the meal, as a sign of gratitude to our restaurant, although it will not be saved for a few days, but it is also a heart, I believe they will like it. ”

"It's good to pay attention to this." Everyone praised in unison.

In the face of the sudden holiday, and it was a paid vacation for a week, all the waiters were very happy. Of course, the waiters who stayed to help did not complain, and they were compensated by Jin Haotian for three times their salary, and the principle of voluntariness was adopted.

In the following week, several chefs gathered together to study the presentation of their own dishes, so Jin Haotian also bought some books on this subject for their reference, and even invited some professional teachers to come to guide.
