Chapter 241: The Trouble of the Exploration Team

The lunch of Meng Shitong and the others at Fujing Building, they still couldn't fault the taste of the dishes themselves, but they still felt a bit of heartache when they settled the accounts.

Returning to the studio after lunch, He Yaqian finally couldn't help sighing: "It's too expensive to eat in Fujinglou."

Several other people in the studio also nodded in agreement.

Photographer Ah Fei analyzed it more seriously: "Actually speaking, the price is indeed much more expensive compared with Su Ji, but we still have to consider the location of Fujing Building, as well as the overall interior and exterior decoration of the scenic spot."

Hearing this, Meng Shitong also said, "Yes, in terms of the location of Fujing Building and various interior and exterior decorations, the price is quite reasonable."

He Yaqian said helplessly: "Then you all say that, what else can I say? Anyway, I'm not paying for it."

Meng Shitong immediately laughed when she heard the words: "I didn't realize that classmate He Yaqian suddenly became so stingy?"

He Yaqian immediately tried to reason: "No way, this time, it's Sister Meng you said, it's our need to record vegetarian dishes, so we must not let us pay for it ourselves?"

Meng Shitong nodded: "Well, it's true that you can't pay by yourself, so let's share it this time."

He Yaqian suddenly looked depressed: "No way, Sister Meng, don't you want to reimburse me?"

Meng Shitong smiled and asked: "Hey, hey, you don't have to pay, so I have to pay?"

Everyone in the studio immediately expressed that the money for this meal will be shared among everyone.

After all, the studio is still relatively small, and many things have just started.

Although some videos on the Internet have attracted them attention, and they have also successfully gained the attention of some advertisers.

But for the time being, the income of the studio still cannot be completely equal to the usual expenses.

But for Meng Shitong and the others, this is a cause they have worked hard for together. Maybe it doesn't look very good now, but everyone is still full of confidence in the future.

After talking about the price, Meng Shitong asked everyone to talk about the evaluation of Fujinglou's dishes.

This time photographer A Fei first made some comments.

"I think that the dishes of Fujinglou are indeed worthy of their location and the layout of the interior and exterior decoration. In terms of taste, the dishes are indeed very good, but if compared with Chef Feng's craftsmanship, there is still a gap .”

After listening to such comments, Meng Shitong asked, "Where do you think the gap lies? Specifically, which dishes have gaps?"

He Yaqian didn't wait for Ah Fei to answer, and said directly: "I think every dish has its own differences."

Meng Shitong stopped He Yaqian: "You talk later, let Ah Fei finish talking first."

Ah Fei said seriously: "First of all, we ordered their signature lion heads. They don't have the distinctive lion heads of Chef Feng, nor do they have four seasons. .

From this point alone, it is obvious that it will lose a lot to Chef Feng. Think about it, Chef Feng's tofu catfish lion head dish? "

As soon as she said this, He Yaxi suddenly exclaimed: "Oh, that dish is really great, I like that too."

Ah Fei continued: "Then let's not talk about Chef Feng's innovation, but just talk about the three types of lion heads they have."

In A Fei's opinion, the taste of the three kinds of lion heads in Fujinglou is really not bad, especially the braised one is delicious.

However, there are two kinds of lion heads stewed and crab noodles, which make A Fei very dissatisfied.

"The stewed lion's head is not like Chef Feng's. It can be smudged with the tongue without biting. And have you noticed? One of them is still a little broken."

Everyone in the studio nodded after listening, and indeed the stewed lion head disappointed them a little.

Ah Fei talked about the lion head with crab powder: "As for the lion head with crab powder, I think it is not the right season, and this dish itself should not be presented."

Meng Shitong asked strangely: "Why do you think there should be no such dish?"

Ah Fei answered directly: "Because it's not the season to eat crabs,

I feel that Fujinglou put this dish on the menu at this time, it is very forced, just to show the strength of the restaurant, I can make this dish. "

He Yaqian agreed with this point: "Yes, I think so too. It seems that they just want to show that this is a signature, lest others not know that they are the inheritance of this dish."

Meng Shitong thought for a while and summed it up: "So, what you mean is that Fujinglou is too commercial and lacks proper cultural heritage?"

After hearing this, several people in the studio almost said in unison: "Yes."

A Fei even praised Meng Shitong: "Sister, your summary is too good, that's how it feels. Fujinglou is just an ordinary big restaurant, even like a place where Internet celebrities check in, not like a place that can represent our food in Huaicheng. A restaurant with cultural heritage.”

He Yaqian continued: "To put it simply, Fujinglou looks like an uneducated nouveau riche."

He Yaqian's metaphor is also recognized by everyone.

In fact, this can be regarded as the place where Fujinglou was criticized by some local elders before.

Huaicheng did invest a lot in Fujinglou at the beginning, trying to build Fujinglou into a restaurant representing Huaicheng's catering culture.

It's a pity that in terms of management, the bosses were still too commercial and lacking in cultural heritage.

If foreigners come to Huaicheng, they will definitely be recommended to go to Fujinglou, because it is indeed well-known in Huaicheng, and it occupies a very good location in Huaicheng.

In addition, Fujinglou has indeed insisted on making local dishes in recent years, especially the tradition of local morning tea.

For foreign tourists, Fujinglou is a must-see place.

But it is also because it attracts too many foreign tourists that the commercialization of Fujinglou is a bit too much. Therefore, in terms of the overall atmosphere and cultural heritage, there is really too much missing all the time.

After Su Lanxin came back and took over Fujing Building, she naturally saw this problem.

So when she wanted to get the old plaque of Su Ji, she had the idea to hang the old plaque of Su Ji on the Fujing Building.

Of course, for Su Lanxin now, she has to change her plan. Because of Feng Yifan's appearance, all her plans were disrupted.

After Meng Shitong listened to everyone's speeches, everyone in the studio had a discussion.

She still asked everyone: "So everyone thinks, should we make the video of Fujinglou? Also, how to make this video? What kind of views and attitudes should we present?"

He Yaqian immediately said: "Of course, tell the truth, and then let everyone compare with Su Ji."

This time A Fei has a different opinion: "I don't think so, because if this is the case, our point of view may be a little more subjective, and there shouldn't be too many of our previous subjective evaluations."

He Yaqian asked strangely: "Hey, hey, you were the one who talked the most just now, are you still saying that we are too subjective?"

Ah Fei quickly admitted his mistake: "No, no, no, I didn't mean you, it was because I was too subjective just now."

Meng Shitong didn't wait for He Yaxi to continue, and spoke first: "I think what A Fei said is right. We really shouldn't be too subjective. If we really want to talk about it, if you don't compare it with Chef Feng, you will think that the current dishes of Fujinglou are inferior. Question?"

After hearing these words, everyone in the studio also calmed down, saying that they really didn't think there was a problem.

In fact, after Fujinglou was bought by Su Liancheng, and the back kitchen was handed over to Tan Xueli, the quality of the dishes has indeed improved a lot.

If Feng Yifan hadn't been in Su Ji and had left a deep impression on Meng Shitong and the others, they would not have felt that there was any problem with Fujinglou's current dishes, and they would even be surprised.

Seeing that everyone agrees, Meng Shitong continued: "So, I agree with Ah Fei's opinion. Let's be more objective. Instead of expressing the comparison with Su Ji, we will simply make a shop-exploring video."

He Yaqian thought for a while and suddenly asked: "But if this is the case, will it be unfair to Su Ji?"

Ah Fei asked strangely: "What does this have to do with Su Ji? How could it be unfair to Su Ji?"

He Yaqian pouted and said, "Because Su Ji and Fu Jing Lou are in the same city, if Su Ji's dishes are available in Fu Jing Lou, and we don't give a comparison in terms of taste, wouldn't it be the same as promoting Fu Jing Lou?"

This is really something that Meng Shitong and A Fei did not think of before.

After being reminded by He Yaqian, the two of them thought about it carefully, and it seemed that it was indeed a bit unfair.

Because Su Ji's environment is completely incomparable with Fujing Building.

If it is the same two store exploration videos, when most of the dishes in the two stores are the same, and there is no obvious difference in taste, then tourists who come to Huaicheng will definitely choose Fujinglou.

After all, Fujing Building has a convenient location and naturally has very good scenic spots.

Su Ji is just a small restaurant on an old street.

After a while of contemplation, Meng Shitong said: "So, can we do this? Not too much, just point out some comparisons in terms of price, location, and a little bit of comparison in taste, and the rest is for everyone to choose freely. .”

Ah Fei thought for a while and said: "Well, I think this is okay, don't mention it too much, just to make a little comparison, and the price of Fujinglou should still discourage many people."

The final strategy is finalized, and everyone still retains an attitude of exploring stores as objectively as possible.

But after A Fei and the others went in to edit, Meng Shitong also took the time to call Feng Yifan in private.

Feng Yifan answered the phone and couldn't help laughing after listening to Meng Shitong's narration.

"Aren't you worried too much? Don't you make that kind of food shop discovery video? How to shop and what shop to go to is your freedom. It is not necessary for you to express your feelings intuitively. ?"

Feng Yifan actually did not expect that Meng Shitong would actually make a phone call to ask for his opinion just because he was visiting Fujinglou.

"If you feel anything, just say it in your video, there's nothing wrong with that, right?

If in order to take care of us, Su Ji, you can't express your feelings about visiting Fujinglou very pertinently, wouldn't it be very irresponsible to those netizens who like you? "

Meng Shitong did not expect Feng Yifan to have such an open-minded attitude towards this matter.

Especially when Feng Yifan said this, Meng Shitong suddenly felt that they were indeed a little too nervous.

Perhaps it was because he knew some problems about Su Ji and the boss behind Fujinglou.

Maybe he will favor Su Ji in his heart, so he will always think of favoring Su Ji instead of letting Su Ji suffer.

But in fact, one of their store visit videos will not bring as much influence as imagined.

The most important thing is that Suji and Fujinglou are not the same type of restaurant at all.

Su Ji is the kind of boutique private chef in the city.

Fujinglou is a large restaurant in the scenic area.

There is really no comparison between the two. Even if the dishes are similar, if people really compare them, they will definitely feel that Su Ji's private chefs are more authentic.

Today is no longer the era of information occlusion, who still doesn't know how to surf the Internet to find out?

Seeing Meng Shitong's silence, Feng Yifan finally said: "Actually, I really appreciate you thinking about Su Ji, but Su Ji has Su Ji's own management method, we will not be influenced by others, so you really don't have to worry about this.

As for your store-exploration video of Fujinglou, I think you should do it truthfully, and there is nothing wrong with promoting our local specialty restaurants. "

At this moment, after listening to Feng Yifan's words, Meng Shitong suddenly realized what a real master is.

At this moment, Meng Shitong felt that a true master should be like Feng Yifan, who has his own tolerance and rules, and will not change what he sticks to because of others.

Thinking of this, Meng Shitong said: "Okay Chef Feng, I understand, thank you for solving my confusion."

Feng Yifan smiled and said: "Well, I also wish you well, and hope that you can do better and better."

After hanging up the phone, Meng Shitong immediately went to the editing room and relayed some of Feng Yifan's words, and the subsequent editing went very smoothly.

Anyway, everyone has something to say. Where is the good place? What is bad and what is bad?

The evaluation of Fujinglou is relatively objective, and I didn't deliberately belittle Fujinglou because of my relationship with Su Ji and Feng Yifan.

Feng Yifan hung up the phone and returned to the shade of the tree. The three little girls immediately surrounded him. Ever since they changed their name to "Papa Feng", the three girls were really attached to Papa Feng, which made Yang Zhiyi really jealous.

Feng Yifan embraced the three girls, and then asked everyone: "Should we go back? It's getting late, and the children should be able to sleep for a while when we go back."

Everyone looked at the time, and Su Ruoxi also said: "Why don't you go back, or wait for Grandpa Ruoruo to bring the table, Su Ji will be fine with no one."

Hearing Su Ruoxi's words, everyone also felt that they should go back, after all Su Ji's table change was considered a big deal.

After that, the group continued to walk back along the lakeside trail.

Coincidentally, when the group returned to the gate of Fujinglou, they just ran into Su Lanxin who came to Fujinglou.
