If outsiders come to Huaicheng and ask the locals where they want to go to eat authentic local dishes?

People who are not of a certain age would not think of recommending Su Ji, which is located on the old street facing reconstruction. But most people will mention one of the more famous restaurants in Huaicheng, Fujinglou.

If it is said that Su Ji is a family hidden in the depths of the alleys of the market, silently abiding by the inheritance of the older generation. Silently cooking local dishes, including local dishes, more belong to Su Kee's original dishes, and are more full of personality characteristics of the small restaurant.

Fujinglou is like a big peony blooming in Huaicheng, blooming in front of everyone with a graceful and luxurious attitude.

No matter how many times the owner of Fortune View House has changed hands, no matter whether the dishes of Fortune View House are really the essence of local cuisine as they were at the beginning. At least the name of this Fujinglou must be well-known to everyone in Huaicheng.

Just like everyone in Su Ji, most people in Huaicheng only found out when they chatted after tea and dinner that Fujinglou had changed bosses again today, and the original kitchen team was all replaced.

As Feng Yifan guessed, the person in charge of taking over the back kitchen of Fujinglou was Tan Xueli.

It's just that Tan Xueli didn't rush to Fujinglou early in the morning to hand over, but stayed in the hotel and waited until Su Lanxin's video morning meeting ended. She wanted to meet the teacher and say a few words before she went again.

waited until one o'clock in the afternoon, and finally waited for Su Lanxin's video conference to end.

Tan Xueli hurriedly sent the meal specially made by her teacher from the back kitchen of the hotel to Su Lanxin's room with Su Lanxin's secretary.

Su Lanxin combed a little, walked out of the suite, and saw that Tan Xueli was also there, so she frowned slightly and asked, "Xueli, shouldn't you go to Fujinglou to handle the handover?"

Tan Xueli said respectfully while putting the meal on the table: "Teacher, I heard Sister Mei say that you didn't eat in the morning, and I was worried that the hotel meals were not to your taste, so I made you a little chicken porridge." ”

Su Lanxin's brows did not stretch, but she still sat down at the table.

saw all kinds of light side dishes on the table, as well as the chicken porridge that Tan Xueli had already put out. Then she saw Tan Xueli and the secretary standing on the side, Su Lanxin said, "You haven't eaten either, have you? ”

Tan Xueli and the secretary naturally sat down, and the next thing was a meal for the three of them in silence.

Such an atmosphere, if compared with Su Ji Small Restaurant, will really have a very different feeling, which will make people feel very depressed.

But whether it is Tan Xueli or the secretary, they don't dare to talk casually during dinner, and they even try to avoid making a sound.

Su Lanxin ate a few bites of chicken porridge and tasted every side dish prepared by Tan Xueli. Putting down the chopsticks, Su Lanxin looked at the apprentice who had followed her for many years: "It seems that Feng Yifan has hit you hard?"

This question was originally nothing, but in such a somewhat depressing atmosphere, it made Tan Xueli's hand holding the spoon shake subconsciously.

Bite.

The spoon clashed against the bowl, making a sound that was unusually harsh in the quiet room.

Tan Xueli raised her head in a bit of a panic, glanced at her teacher, and then quickly lowered her head.

Su Lanxin, who has always been strict, actually showed a trace of tenderness in her eyes at this time, but this trace of gentleness was fleeting. Her gaze became harsh again: "When you are hit, you shouldn't feel sorry for yourself here, you should work harder." ”

Tan Xueli lowered her head and replied, "Yes, teacher." ”

Su Lanxin was obviously unhappy with Tan Xueli's submissive appearance, but her tone was still flat: "What do you know? If you really know, you should be in the back kitchen of Fujinglou now, instead of staying in the hotel and waiting for me for a morning." ”

Every time Tan Xueli faced the teacher, she was not afraid of the teacher being reprimanded in front of her, she was most afraid that the teacher would speak in such a flat tone.

Because of this situation, it shows that Su Lanxin is not angry, but she is already very disappointed.

Tan Xueli hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry teacher, I disappointed you." ”

Su Lanxin shook her head and said: "You forgot again, I don't like to hear others say 'I'm sorry' the most, if you really feel sorry, then you should do it with your actions, instead of sitting here and saying sorry." ”

didn't let Tan Xueli speak, Su Lanxin continued to say: "I took you there yesterday, and my intention was not to let you show yourself, but you first showed yourself in front of the two of the Restaurant Association, and then flaunted yourself in front of Feng Yifan.

I didn't say it yesterday, but that doesn't mean I approve of your arrogant behavior.

If you don't have enough strength to mock others like that, then you are doomed to be a loser from the beginning, so you are not qualified to challenge Feng Yifan again. ”

After listening to the teacher's words, Tan Xueli could only spit out a mouthful of turbid air and responded: "Teacher, Shirley understands." ”

Obviously, from the very beginning, Su Lanxin knew that the reason why Tan Xueli did not go to Fujinglou as agreed was because she wanted to get another chance to compete with Feng Yifan.

And Su Lanxin was also unceremonious, and directly denied Tan Xueli's qualification to challenge.

Tan Xueli ate the chicken porridge in her bowl, stood up and said goodbye to Su Lanxin respectfully: "Teacher, you eat slowly, I'll go to Fujinglou to hand over." ”

The secretary, Sister Mei, also hurriedly ate the chicken porridge in the bowl, and then stood up together and said, "Mr. Su, then I'll send Shirley, right?"

Seeing that Su Lanxin didn't speak, the secretary understood that this was acquiescence, so he turned around and left with Tan Xueli.

When he walked out of the room and took the elevator downstairs, the secretary whispered to Tan Xueli: "Xueli, Mr. Su is not completely disappointed in you, according to Mr. Su's words, your time to learn cooking is still too short, and it is indeed not comparable to Feng Yifan for the time being." ”

Tan Xueli no longer has the arrogance that Su Ji had yesterday, and asked very humbly: "Sister Mei, Feng Yifan is said to have gone abroad to exchange restaurants, which is a restaurant owned by the company, but was later expelled because he did not pass the assessment, where did he go after that?"

The secretary, Sister Mei, hesitated for a moment, but still told Tan Xueli the truth she was responsible for finding.

To put it simply, he was expelled from the company's chain restaurant, which was equivalent to cutting off his way to exchange and study abroad, but he did not choose to return to China in disgrace, but went to apply for jobs in one restaurant by himself.

In the five years he was abroad, he stayed in many restaurants, large and small, and even worked as a chef on a passenger ship for a year at sea. ”

Listening to the secretary's introduction, Tan Xueli was also a little surprised, and at the same time, Tan Xueli was also a little in awe of Feng Yifan in her heart.

Being able to defy hard work, let go of the original value, and be willing to start from scratch in the back kitchen is really not something that anyone can do. This alone made Tan Xueli admire Feng Yifan's persistence.

Seeing Tan Xueli's face of surprise and admiration, the secretary paused before continuing: "Before he returned to China, he helped a restaurant obtain three-star certification with an idea. ”

Tan Xueli was even more shocked when she heard this, looked at her secretary Sister Mei and asked, "Really?

Sister Mei said very simply: "Because he just asked for a large sum of money." ”

When Tan Xueli heard this answer, a look of incredulity appeared on her face: "Why?"

Sister Mei looked at Tan Xueli and said, "My Miss Tan, you don't think that he, a little-known young chef abroad, is qualified to become the head chef of a three-star certified restaurant with one leap of capital and capital, right?"

Hearing this, Tan Xueli was stunned for a moment and immediately understood.

The reason why Feng Yifan just asked for a large sum of money and gave up the opportunity to become famous, some transactions behind it revealed the helplessness of people in a foreign land.

The elevator arrived on the first floor at this time, and Tan Xueli asked one last thing before getting out of the elevator: "Sister Mei, who does the master plan to let deal with Feng Yifan?"

Sister Mei replied very bluntly: "The head chef is ready to return to China." ”

After hearing this, Tan Xueli said goodbye to the teacher's secretary, Sister Mei, and walked out of the hotel without looking back.
