Chapter 338: Countermeasures from Both Sides (Second Update)
Feng Yifan seems to be a good swimmer, playing with his wife and daughter, and he doesn't take the kitchen to heart at all, but in fact, he is also discussing the dishes with his wife while playing.
On the other side, Su Lanxin and the others were in full swing with various preparations.
In addition to purchasing the ingredients in advance and sending them to Su Ji, Su Lanxin didn't ask about the Chinese cuisine cooking audition at all, but got together with her ex-husband Chen Wei and son Su Liancheng, as well as her beloved apprentice Tan Xueli to try dishes.
The place where such a "family" tries dishes is in a chain restaurant that Su Lanxin is going to open in Huaicheng.
Everything in the restaurant has been renovated, and all kinds of equipment in the back kitchen have also been debugged, but Su Lanxin feels that it is not yet time to open, so it is not open for the time being.
I have to say that Su Lanxin had talent in cooking back then, and she was also talented in business later.
And she knows how to run a business, especially how to use all kinds of things that can be used to expand the popularity of her restaurant.
It seems that now that she has returned to China, she knows very well that her company's chain restaurants are not well-known enough in China.
That's why Su Lanxin made several plans, one of which was to take down Su Ji's old plaque.
used Su Ji's hundred-year-old plaque to make a fuss, and then publicized the fact that his father and grandfather had participated in the state banquet.
Even Su Lanxin was ready to move out all the court dishes that her ancestors had made in the imperial city.
There is only one purpose, that is, to increase her popularity and let everyone know that she came from such a culinary family.
After building momentum, she used the momentum to launch her current chain of restaurants.
Of course, it is obviously impossible to achieve this plan now, because Su Ji's old plaque Su Lanxin has no confidence to get it.
Su Lanxin is not the kind of person who would think that after this kitchen competition, she can get Su Ji's old plaque back.
She knew very well in her heart that her eldest brother was unwilling to compete in cooking, and the reason why she would come out to compete in cooking this time was just because of her uncle's tour and some pressure she brought to Su Ji.
So even if the other party loses, Su Lanxin doesn't think that the other party will obediently give up the old plaque.
And Su Lanxin has never been a person who will leave no way back at all.
So she has already prepared other plans, and the cooking competition she is running now is actually her second plan.
Host this cooking competition to expand her and the company's visibility through the competition.
After that, he used this popularity to open the company's chain of restaurants.
As a result, with the help of the popularity gained by the competition, many people are bound to flock to the new restaurant.
Because everyone will definitely want to taste it, what about the dishes made by the judges of the cooking competition?
Then using this popularity, Su Lanxin can make the chain restaurant an instant hit.
Of course, there is another important key point behind all this, that is, a group of chefs trained by Su Lanxin's company.
The chefs cultivated by these companies are the foundation of Su Lanxin's overseas efforts over the years, and they are also the key to the success of many of the company's chain restaurants.
Therefore, with the support of sufficient strength, Su Lanxin was able to achieve such success by using various propaganda methods.
Being able to become a multinational catering company, and also being able to open chain restaurants in many places around the world with a Chinese food chain, Su Lanxin's strength is indeed extremely strong.
However, even Su Lanxin, who has such strength, still has a knot that she is difficult to untie.
This heart knot is the old plaque of Su Ji.
In fact, for Su Lanxin, maybe she herself knows that she really wants to get that old plaque and really wants to be the head of Su Ji.
In fact, I just can't swallow the breath I had back then, and it's such a battle of wills.
But Su Lanxin just couldn't let it go, she just wanted to prove that her father's choice was wrong.
Over the years, she has tried her best, almost racking her brains, and successfully made the company bigger and successfully made it a multinational catering company.
The biggest driving force behind it may be the dissatisfaction of his father back then.
Therefore, even if you know that this competition between Chen Wei and Feng Yifan is very childish, even if you know that even if you win, you may not be able to get the Su Ji old plaque.
But Su Lanxin is still willing to compete, she still wants to go all out, and she wants to win this competition.
So in the back kitchen of the newly built restaurant, Su Lanxin can be extremely strict.
Since the morning, Su Lanxin has called Chen Wei, Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli and asked them to try it out in the kitchen together.
It was about after Su Ji's people finished eating breakfast that Chen Wei finally finished the first dish.
It starts with a soup, a refreshing vegetable salad in the middle, a steak for the main meal, a seafood serving, a little bit of the main course, and a light snack at the end.
Seeing what Chen Wei did, Tan Xueli really couldn't help but be convinced.
Chen Wei is worthy of being the company's executive chef and has been at the helm of the company's back kitchen for decades.
Even when Tan Xueli watched Chen Wei cooking, she couldn't imagine that Chen Wei would be an old man in his seventies.
That kind of high-spirited and focused look is really very chic, without losing a little careful.
In Tan Xueli's opinion, just watching the head chef do it is already a kind of enjoyment.
The complete dish in front of her looks simply perfect to Tan Xueli.
But as a result, Su Lanxin was very serious: "No, none of these will work, Chen Wei, can you be serious, these things, the key is that these practices are too Western-style." ”
Chen Wei looked at Su Lanxin helplessly: "Don't forget, the ingredients we use are themselves to use Western-style methods to be able to highlight the taste more."
If it is fried and stewed in China, will this steak still be edible? And these seafood are even more inedible. ”
Su Lanxin shook her head: "No, Chen Wei, you don't understand what I mean, I don't want you to do it in a domestic way, but to make them look more domestic style and have domestic elements." ”
After listening to Su Lanxin's words, Tan Xueli was already dumbfounded, because she didn't know what to do?
Su Liancheng thought for a while: "Mom, in fact, we don't have to pursue Chinese style, we can stick to our things, I think Dad's is perfect." ”
Su Lanxin looked at her son and said very seriously: "What do you know? Have you all forgotten the theme of our banquet?"
Chen Wei suddenly seemed to understand: "The theme of the banquet is Children's Day. ”
Su Lanxin added: "The real theme of the banquet is Feng Ruoruo's birthday. ”
......
Interestingly, when discussing the theme of the Children's Day banquet here, Feng Yifan was also chatting with his wife and daughter in Su Ji's back kitchen on the other side.
Su Ruoxi was also a little curious and asked, "Is our theme Children's Day?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately: "Yes, yes, Dad, what you have to do, our children like it." ”
Feng Yifan smiled: "Our real theme is a little girl's birthday." ”
When Feng Ruoruo heard this, he immediately smiled: "It's Ruoruo's birthday." ”
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, it's Ruoruo's birthday, but Ruoruo is also a little girl, so the theme is a little girl's birthday." ”
......
On the other side, when Chen Wei heard this, he looked at Su Lanxin a little strangely and asked, "So you mean, the focus is on Ruoruo's birthday?"
Su Lanxin nodded: "Yes, Feng Ruoruo's birthday." ”
Tan Xueli suddenly: "That's simple, we can do it according to Feng Ruoruo's favorite taste." ”
Su Liancheng also felt reasonable, and immediately gave his opinion: "I remember, Ruoruo likes all kinds of snacks made by her father very much. ”
Tan Xueli again: "Then we can make a dessert banquet, which can also attract those kindergarten children, in this case, then our Western-style will definitely take advantage." ”
......
In Su Ji's back kitchen, Feng Yifan smiled and asked his daughter: "So if this little girl, what do you like?"
Feng Ruoruo thought for a while: "I like my parents, grandparents, and grandpa." ”
When Su Ruoxi heard this, she immediately became happy: "Hahaha, Dad didn't ask who you liked, Dad asked what you like to eat?"
Feng Ruoruo thought about it again and replied: "Then Ruoruo likes it the most...... I like my father's dim sum the most. ”
When Su Ruoxi heard her daughter's words, she smiled and said to her husband: "It's over, do you want to make a dim sum banquet for your daughter?"
But after thinking about it, Su Ruoxi felt as if it was okay.
"Yes, you can make a dim sum feast, all kinds of dim sum, which will definitely make children like it very much, and when the dim sum you make is popular, you will definitely win." ”
At this moment, maybe Su Ruoxi wouldn't have thought that some of her thoughts coincided with the other side.
Chen Wei and Su Lanxin looked at each other for a moment, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was indeed possible.
Su Lanxin: "Okay, then let's make dim sum, use all kinds of high-end ingredients to make dim sum, all kinds of dim sum, then we will definitely be able to win the love of all children." ”
Feng Yifan was almost at the same time as Su Lanxin: "Yes, since our Ruo Ruo likes it, then we can give them a dim sum banquet." ”
Su Ruoxi asked strangely: "Dim sum feast, do you want to present all those ancient and modern dim sum?"
Feng Yifan smiled and shook his head: "No, no, no, in that case, we will fall to the lower level, and we will definitely not be able to win against my aunt and them at that time." ”
Su Ruoxi pouted: "Then you still have it?"
Then, Su Ruoxi asked strangely: "Isn't that right?
Feng Yifan stretched out his hand to hug his wife and replied with a smile: "You don't care if you win or lose, but you can't ignore the kitchen, not to mention that we want to celebrate Ruoruo's birthday, and let Ruoruo kindergarten children eat happily." ”
Su Ruoxi pouted again: "Let the children eat happily, then just make dim sew, they like to eat your dim sum." ”
Feng Yifan nodded: "Dim sum is definitely to be made, but we can't completely reproduce those dim sum, we have to make all kinds of dishes into dim sum." ”
Su Ruoxi was a little surprised: "Make all kinds of dishes into snacks?"
Feng Yifan smiled confidently and nodded.
Su Ruoxi is a little unimaginable, how to make dishes into snacks?
All she could think of was to give all those large plates of dishes to the children on small plates, but could this be considered a snack?
guessed his wife's thoughts, Feng Yifan: "Of course, not pretending to be a small plate is a snack." ”
Su Ruoxi hurriedly asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
Feng Yifan replied with a smile: "That's it, it's just that in terms of presentation, follow the style of some dim sum, and adjust the cooking slightly." ”
It almost coincided with Feng Yifan again.
Chen Weiye: "We have to cook these high-end ingredients, and we have to make them like dim sum." ”
Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli, who were in the back kitchen, glanced at each other, and both of them were obviously a little surprised.
It's hard to imagine, what would Chen Wei be like if he wanted to make a snack out of his mouth?
Chen Wei is also full of confidence: "I will make some improvements, improvements in cooking methods, so that each dish is not only more like dim sum in style, but also tastes like dim sum." ”
The two people who may be about to compete in the kitchen would not have thought that they would coincide at this moment.
It's just that Chen Wei is still thinking about how to use Western ingredients, present them in a Western way, and have domestic elements.
Feng Yifan on the other side had a more out-of-the-box idea.
"It's a fun thing to combine a lot of things from the past and the present, and then add some Western twists and make each dish like a snack. ”
Su Ruoxi is really a little unimaginable, what kind of dishes will her husband make in the end?
Just as Su Liancheng and Tan Xueli on the other side also couldn't imagine what style of dishes Chen Wei would design in the end.
However, the two people have different starting points.
Chen Wei wants to deal with the kitchen.
Feng Yifan completely wants to make a birthday banquet for her daughter, so that her daughter and her children can have an unforgettable birthday banquet.
But no matter what their starting point was, but by this time both of them had already begun to think about it seriously.
After listening to Chen Wei's words, Su Lanxin said very seriously: "No matter how you want to present the dishes, I still want to emphasize that more Chinese elements must be incorporated." ”
Chen Wei was a little strange when he heard this: "Why do you have to bother here?"
Su Lanxin's expression became very bad: "Do you think I'm entangled, have you forgotten where we are now?"
Without waiting for Chen Wei to speak, Su Lanxin said very seriously: "We are in China, we are not abroad, we are not going to eat for foreigners, we are going to feed some children." ”
Chen Wei nodded: "I know this, and I don't think that those children will not be able to accept Western-style things." ”
Seeing that Chen Wei didn't seem to understand, Su Lanxin was a little anxious: "Why don't you understand? The child is not the point, we are going to cook in Su Ji, where is Su Ji?"
This time, Chen Wei suddenly understood: "Su Ji, Master's restaurant." ”
Su Lanxin nodded seriously: "Yes, it's my father's restaurant, it's the restaurant of my Su family's ancestors, what is it there?"
Chen Wei understood, and nodded heavily: "Okay, I understand, I will make adjustments." ”
