Chapter 1024: Pastry Chef’s Task, Kitchen Team Cooperation

,

Feng Yifan took his three apprentices, Hans, Tom, and Shi Tao with him on this trip, which meant that all the men in the kitchen were out.

As for Chen Xu, he originally wanted to come together, but Feng Yifan gave him a more important task.

"You can't go. You and Luo Yu have to make a snack for Ruoruo and her kindergarten children, and then you have to send them to kindergarten."

When Chen Xu heard about this mission, he was a little bit dumbfounded, and even couldn't help but protest.

"Chef, this is wrong of you. You are taking advantage of your position as chef to ask us to make snacks for your daughter and ask us to deliver them to the kindergarten. This is simply exploiting us. Luo Yu and I are Su Jihe The pastry chef in the restaurant is not your daughter’s exclusive pastry chef.”

Hearing Chen Xu's protest, Su Ruoxi immediately clapped her hands and applauded.

"Okay, it's time to protest. You can't let this *** chef dictate to you how to make snacks for kindergarten children. Is that what our pastry chefs at Su Ji and Ruo's restaurants should do?"

When Feng Yifan heard his wife's words, he looked at his wife with a bit of laughter and tears.

"Hey, hey, Ruoruo is your daughter."

Su Ruoxi smiled and said: "What's wrong with my daughter? My daughter can't be special. Besides, you, a father, don't make snacks for your daughter yourself. Instead, you instruct Chen Xu and Luo Yu to make them, and also ask them to make snacks for your daughter's kindergarten children. Do it, are you too overbearing?"

Tian Lang was a little confused at this time. He didn't understand why his aunt would deliberately find trouble with his uncle?

Tian Lang quietly approached his mother and asked: "Mommy, do you think my aunt and uncle are not in a good relationship? Why is this aunt deliberately looking for trouble? And she is also partial to others?"

Shi Jiahui smiled and whispered: "Can't you see this? Your Aunt Ruoxi did it on purpose. She just wanted to stumble your uncle on purpose. Moreover, her doing this will also make Chen Xu feel better, otherwise Chen Xu and Luo Yu will really feel like they are private dessert chefs who specialize in making desserts for their daughters."

Tian Lang still didn't quite understand. Shi Jiahui then added: "Also, the place your uncle and the others are going to may be a little bloody. Indeed, it is not suitable for Chen Xu to go."

After his mother said this, Tian Lang finally understood.

Feng Yifan also said very straightforwardly at this time: "I am the chef.

Then I'll be bossy. Chen Xu stays. As for the snacks, you and Luo Yu don't have to make them. Just wait until I come back. But you really can't go today because the scenes there are too bloody. No. suits you. "

Chen Xu asked strangely: "Why is it too bloody for me? Then why can they all go?"

Feng Yifan said helplessly: "Because they all want to work in the back kitchen as red cases, and you are white cases. You and Luo Yu are the top dim sum chefs in our Su Ji He Ruo restaurant. Your craftsmanship is the best in Su Ji He Ruo restaurant." ’s signboard, do you understand that?”

Chen Xu and Luo Yu were stunned for a moment, and for a moment they didn't know what to say.

In the end, Chen Xu could only watch as Feng Yifan led the people away.

After Feng Yifan led the people away, Su Jinrong said to Chen Xu, "You, don't you understand how important you are to Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant?"

Chen Xu asked a little strangely: "Uncle Rong, but he doesn't let me participate in that. Am I really that important?"

Su Jinrong said: "Of course you are important. You must know that dim sum is an important part of the banquet. Su Ji's dim sum is now all counting on you and Luo Yu, so you are naturally very important."

After being told to Su Jinrong, Chen Xu and Luo Yu gradually understood.

In fact, during these days, Chen Xu and Luo Yu did feel that for every banquet hosted by Su Ji, Feng Yifan would ask them to customize snacks and present them to the guests at the end of the banquet.

Originally this was a common way of Western food, where dessert would be served at the end of the set meal.

And Feng Yifan obviously intends to restore the essence of Chinese banquets.

Therefore, at the end of the banquet, snacks that match the banquet must be served.

Feng Yifan did make a very bold attempt in this regard, which also gave Chen Xu and Luo Yu a very good opportunity to display themselves.

Especially at the Four Seasons Banquet, the last snacks of each banquet were carefully designed by Chen Xu and Luo Yu.

It can be said that it is completely consistent with the Four Seasons Banquet and truly integrated into the banquet.

This is also the time when many people come to Su Kee to taste the Four Seasons Banquet and feel the difference between Su Kee’s Four Seasons Banquet and other restaurant banquets.

Su Jinrong finally said: "The chef asked you to stay. Do you really think he was asking you to make snacks for the kindergarten? In fact, he asked you two to think about what kind of snacks you should make to match his three-head banquet. You two, think about it carefully."

After saying this, Su Jinrong went to the kitchen in person, preparing to make snacks for his granddaughter.

Seeing Su Jinrong doing it himself, Shi Jiahui also went to the kitchen to help.

"Uncle, I'll do it."

Su Jinrong waved her hand: "No, I haven't made snacks for our Ruoruo for a long time. Today, let me make a traditional snack for Ruoruo, so that she and the children can have a taste of grandpa's craftsmanship."

Chen Xu and Luo Yu looked at each other, and then looked at Su Jinrong who was busy in the kitchen.

Su Liancheng approached the two of them and said to Chen Xu, "Are you still confused?"

Chen Xu looked at Su Liancheng and said, "I was wondering, what snacks should I make to match the three-head banquet?"

Su Liancheng laughed after hearing this: "Hahaha, don't ask me about this. I really don't understand. It depends on how you and Luo Yu perform."

Joy returned to the restaurant, with Su Jinrong making snacks in the kitchen and Tian Lang following his mother.

Chen Xu and Luo Yu began to design together and make snacks to accompany the three-head banquet.

Tian Lang followed his mother and said quietly: "Mommy, I think my uncle is just so domineering. He is indeed a chef. He is awesome."

Shi Jiahui smiled and said: "It's amazing, that's because your uncle is capable."

Speaking of this, Shi Jiahui lowered his voice and said: "Let me tell you, your uncle can actually design dim sum himself, but it often requires brainstorming, otherwise one's ideas may still have some limitations, so he Only then will Chen Xu and Luo Yu be held responsible."

Tian Lang still doesn't quite understand: "Since uncle can do it himself, why not design it himself?"

Shi Jiahui said: "Because your uncle needs to concentrate on making the three-head banquet well. Don't be distracted. It's not just one person in the kitchen who can cook the whole banquet, especially the big banquet tomorrow." It requires a team to work together, and everyone has to have their own job.”

After listening to his mother's words, Tian Lang finally understood.

Seeing that although Su Ji had closed its business at noon, everyone was busy with their own affairs, she understood that this was the strength of the team. Only when everyone performed their duties could things be done better.

After his mother also went to the kitchen to help, Tian Lang also ran to the cashier to help his aunt settle the accounts.

Feng Yifan led everyone in the car and rushed to the freight center where the ingredients arrived.

Along the way, Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng also told Shi Tao some precautions for learning to cook.

Lin Ruifeng said directly: "Let me tell you, if you want to learn cooking from the master, the key is to be obedient. Whatever the master asks you to do, there must be no refutation. You must do what the master tells you to do well. You can't even cheat."

Ning Cheng said: "Also, master will definitely let you practice knife skills for a long time. You will be doing all kinds of cuts every day. You must be mentally prepared."

In fact, in terms of age, Shi Tao is older than Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng.

However, he was still very well-behaved, calling the two senior brothers, and listened to their stories with an open mind.

"Two senior brothers, how is your uncle's temper?"

Hearing Shi Tao ask about his temper, Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng looked at each other.

Then, both of them lowered their voices and said, "You have to control your temper yourself."

Lin Ruifeng continued: "If there is no problem with your performance and you can complete your work well, then Master must have a very good temper."

Ning Cheng said: "But if you make a mistake, you have to be mentally prepared."

Shi Tao asked in a low voice: "Uncle Master, will he take action?"

Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng looked at each other again, and then looked at Ma Xiaolong who was driving.

Because we had to pull goods, we drove two cars today. Feng Yifan, Hans and Tom were in another car, and Shi Tao was pulled into the car of the three brothers.

As Ma Xiaolong was driving his car, he felt the eyes of several people and said bluntly: "They two have never been beaten, but I have been."

Shi Tao was a little surprised when he heard this: "Senior Brother Ma, have you ever been beaten?"

Ma Xiaolong nodded and said: "Yes, I was following the master in a foreign restaurant. At that time, I was not an apprentice, just a follower next to the chef. When I made mistakes, I was beaten by the master, but the master's blow was not very harsh. But getting angry is real.”

Lin Ruifeng said: "I heard that in foreign restaurants, even foreigners will be scolded by the master."

Ma Xiaolong said: "Did you hear? It was Hans and Tom who said it? Then they will definitely not say that Master will be more harsh on foreigners. Hans and Tom were scolded badly by Master, even before Hans Some of the desserts were thrown into the trash can by Master."

When Ma Xiaolong talks about some things about Feng Yifan abroad, Shi Tao will listen more carefully.

From Ma Xiaolong's mouth, Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng also learned that when they were in foreign restaurants, their masters were indeed very strict and would throw uncooked dishes directly into the trash can.

There was even a time when many foreign chefs at the Perovance Restaurant had strong objections to Feng Yifan.

But the result of those cooks uniting against Feng Yifan was that half of the cooks were directly fired by Feng Yifan.

Then, Feng Yifan recruited new chefs. After the additions, they were still very demanding.

Ma Xiaolong said this very seriously: "At first, Master fired half of the chefs at Perovance Restaurant, and then encountered the star rating, but even under such circumstances, Master still let Perovance Si’s restaurant passed the primary election.”

These words shocked both Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng.

Ma Xiaolong was relatively calm: "Do you find it incredible? Let me tell you, Master can really support a three-star restaurant by himself. However, he usually does not use all his strength, but will leave room for it and will Let everyone work together.”

Shi Tao couldn't help but ask: "Since Uncle Master can do it alone, why do we need everyone to cooperate?"

Ma Xiaolong said: "Asking this question shows that you don't understand the kitchen at all."

Lin Ruifeng said: "Master once said that the kitchen is a whole, and it must ensure that the whole is coordinated. Only then can a restaurant be run well, good dishes can be made, and any top-level banquet can be completed. cooking."

Ma Xiaolong said: “Every banquet requires a lot of patience and dedication, and the process is not easy for any cook.

Therefore, every cook in the back kitchen needs to perform every step very well. Good overall coordination is the key to whether a restaurant can become a top-notch restaurant. So don’t think that the back kitchen is a place about personal heroes. This is a place that requires everyone’s cooperation. "

After listening to Lin Ruifeng and Ma Xiaolong's words, not only Shi Tao, but also Ning Cheng also gained a new understanding.

Ning Cheng couldn't help but say: "I have always thought that in the kitchen, the chef is the key. Every chef will become the master of the kitchen."

Shi Tao nodded: "Yes, I've always felt that way."

Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Those are just some small restaurants or street food stalls. In the kitchen of a truly top-notch restaurant, there will be a complete team of people. Everyone needs to perform their own duties, and under the unified leadership of the chef, With the coordination, we can complete every dish and every table of banquet.”

After a short pause, Ma Xiaolong said: "So, chefs in top restaurants do not talk about individual heroism, they need everyone to work together."

Shi Tao asked at this time: "Then what are the responsibilities of the chef?"

Ma Xiaolong answered without hesitation: "The chef is the style of the restaurant and the backbone and direction guide of the kitchen team."

Through chatting with three senior brothers, Shi Tao also gained a new understanding of the kitchen.

Maybe he used to think that the most important person in the kitchen of any restaurant is the chef.

But after listening to what Ma Xiaolong said, Shi Tao finally understood that the chef is a whole team, and it does not just rely on one person, but requires everyone to work together.

Shi Tao thought back to what he saw in Su Ji at noon, and he had a more intuitive feeling.

Indeed, throughout noon, everyone in Su Ji worked very hard.

From every chef in the back kitchen to every waiter at the front, it can be said that everyone is communicating and collaborating, so as to ensure that every guest of Su Ji is satisfied with their meal.

The key is to be able to operate efficiently so that Suji's guests can taste their orders extremely efficiently.

Being able to accomplish all that well is inseparable from Feng Yifan and his entire team.

While chatting, we arrived at the first place to pick up the goods, and the car also drove into a logistics yard.
