At the dinner after the cultural performance, Feng Yifan led the kitchen staff and the chefs from Fujinglou to help, and they did a great job and received widespread praise.
Feng Ruoruo follows her father like a little tail. It can be said that no matter where her father goes, Feng Ruoruo follows closely behind her father.
In order not to lose her father, the little girl even held on to the corner of her father's clothes with her little hands all the way.
Everyone at the dinner party naturally found this scene very interesting.
As for Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, the two little girls stayed with their grandparents and father.
The little sisters seemed to know that Feng Ruoruo, who had not been close to her father for a while, would be even closer to him today, so they gave Dad Feng to Feng Ruoruo today.
Feng Yifan was quite busy throughout the dinner, as he not only needed to coordinate the serving of the dishes.
At the same time, many people at the dinner party always took the initiative to talk to Feng Yifan, and even some cast and crew members who knew him wanted to take out their mobile phones to take photos with him at any time.
Feng Ruoruo is very well behaved and always stays by her father's side, but she doesn't disturb him.
Sometimes when others want to take a photo, they will also ask Feng Yifan to hold Feng Ruoruo for the photo.
Every time Feng Ruoruo was picked up by her father and took photos with others, the little girl would act well-behaved so that others could take photos of her and her father being intimate.
Feng Ruoruo was present during the group photo, which made those who requested to take the photo feel very happy.
Because when facing Feng Yifan alone, his height and physique still gave people a sense of oppression.
People get the feeling that Feng Yifan is not so approachable.
With Feng Ruoruo around, Feng Yifan suddenly seemed more approachable, especially when he doted on his daughter and smiled with his lovely daughter, he really made people feel that he was just an ordinary father, and the father and daughter were full of warmth and affection.
The dinner lasted until 10 o'clock in the evening, and the children who attended the dinner were already dozing off.
Feng Yifan also handed his sleepy daughter to his grandparents, grandfather and mother, and went to the kitchen to do some final finishing touches.
Feng Yifan and the chefs first cleaned up the things in the banquet hall and moved everything back to the kitchen.
In fact, Feng Yifan and his team didn't have to do the cleaning work because these reception hotels always have outsourced staff to do the cleaning.
But today, Feng Yifan still asked everyone to clean up the kitchen.
Zhang Fenglin is still a little confused about this.
"Yifan, are we adding too much burden to ourselves?"
Zhang Fenglin's meaning was very clear. Today's dinner had already made everyone very tired, and it was getting late, so there was actually no need to clean the kitchen.
Since the hotel has outsourced services, just leave it to the outsourced contractor to handle it.
Feng Yifan said seriously, "Brother, we can't leave these things to others. Have you forgotten the rules of our Su Ji?"
Zhang Fenglin was stunned at first, then Quan Jie came over and spoke.
"The rule is that once you take over the kitchen, you have to treat it as your own place. Not only do you have to cook the dishes well, you also have to clean everything in the kitchen."
This rule has been strictly observed by the older generation of Su Ji's disciples over the years.
And they also passed these rules to their apprentices.
After hearing this, Zhang Fenglin also understood.
Afterwards, everyone in the kitchen started cleaning up.
All kinds of leftovers should be cleaned up in different categories, and then all the utensils used to prepare the dishes should be cleaned, as well as various kitchen utensils. Finally, the floor and counter in the kitchen, and even the refrigerator that holds the ingredients, should be cleaned.
During this cleaning process, some city leaders made a special trip to the kitchen.
When the leader saw Feng Yifan and the others were busy, he also felt a little strange.
So they asked directly: "Feng Yifan, you should have completed your work, right? As for the cleaning work, the hotel should have someone to handle it. Why are you still cleaning here?"
Feng Yifan also answered very calmly: "Because the kitchen belongs to us today. Since it belongs to us, we naturally have to do a complete set of things. This is our Su Ji's rule. The cook must not only cook well, but also ensure the cleanliness of the kitchen."
These words surprised the city leaders who were present.
The leader turned around and asked the TV station: "It seems that your TV station's reception hotel needs to be improved in many areas."
The leaders of the TV station all became a little nervous after hearing this.
Then, the director said, "Leader, it's like this. Actually, we have thought about improving it a long time ago, but it is really not easy to recruit people at the reception hotel, and we can't find a team like Chef Feng, so we can only outsource many of our things separately."
Feng Yifan also spoke up and said a few words to help.
"Leader, this cannot be blamed on the TV station. After all, the TV station does not often use the hotel reception, so they can only outsource it, and outsourcing will definitely have various problems."
The city leaders also thought it made sense, and then asked Feng Yifan: "So, Feng Yifan, what do you think needs to be improved?"
Feng Yifan looked at the people at the TV station and saw that they all looked nervous.
He smiled and said, "I think that either the TV station should take back the hotel management, or completely split the hotel up for bidding. Even if the TV station comes to provide reception, it will still need to pay the hotel money."
Feng Yifan's words were very direct, but they also made several people at the TV station secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
In fact, the TV station also has similar plans, but they have not yet made up their minds to do it.
Now that Feng Yifan has spoken out the problem and with the pressure from the city, the TV station feels that future progress will be smoother.
Sure enough, the city leader nodded and said, "Well, Feng Yifan's idea is very good. Your TV station should also come up with a charter as soon as possible. You can't continue as before."
Several people from the TV station also quickly agreed: "Okay, leader, we will definitely solve the problem as soon as possible."
After dealing with some matters in the hotel, the leaders also went into the kitchen, wanting to meet all the chefs in the kitchen.
Feng Yifan stopped him and said, "Leader, the ground inside has already started to soak. It may not be convenient to go in. How about this, leader, please wait a moment, I will call everyone out."
The leader also nodded: "Okay, then we'll wait outside."
Soon, Feng Yifan asked everyone to come out of the kitchen and meet with the city leaders in the corridor outside.
When the city leaders saw the chefs in the kitchen of Su Ji and Ruo restaurants, they all paid great attention and recognized them specially.
Of course, the leaders also received the people sent by Fujinglou seriously.
The leaders were somewhat surprised to learn about the relationship between the kitchen of Fujing Building and Feng Yifan's Su Ji.
"Oh? I never thought that Fujinglou and Suji would have such a connection?"
"No wonder Fujinglou's reputation is getting better and better. It turns out that the chef in the kitchen has been replaced."
"So, Fujinglou is now owned by Su Ji?"
When Feng Yifan heard this, he wanted to say no.
But Zhang Fenglin and Quan Jie rushed to say, "Yes."
Quan Jie also added: "My master said that we are all Su Ji's juniors. Now that Senior Brother Feng is the chef, we must obey his orders as long as he needs anything."
Hearing this, the leaders looked at each other, and then they all laughed.
"Hahaha, it really has a bit of the flavor of a sect."
"Really, you guys are considered a culinary sect."
"That's good. This way the inheritance can be better continued."
…
After hearing what the leaders said, Feng Yifan was a little helpless with Quan Jie, so he had to say: "Su Ji doesn't actually have this rule, but this dinner was really thanks to the help of my senior and junior brothers in Fujing Building, otherwise Su Ji's kitchen alone would not be able to handle it."
The leaders said: "This is great. The Su Ji heritage can be better continued. It is not limited to Su Ji, but can flourish everywhere."
Another leader also said: "That's right. In the future, maybe the chefs from Huaicheng Suji can become state banquet chefs like Mr. Su Quansheng did in the past, or they can be chefs in top restaurants in big cities. Then Huaicheng will also become a chef export base."
In fact, the leaders in Huaicheng City are still very much looking forward to this.
After all, in the current domestic Chinese cuisine, Sichuan and Cantonese chefs are more famous.
If Su Ji could export more chefs to the outside world, it would not be a way to enhance the reputation of Huaiyang cuisine chefs.
The city leaders finally said to Feng Yifan: "Feng Yifan, since you have taken over Su Ji, as the time-honored brand left by Mr. Su Quansheng, we are looking forward to your being able to recreate the grand occasion of the old man's time. If you have any needs, our city will try its best to support you."
Feng Yifan responded seriously: "Please rest assured, we will work hard."
Finally, the leaders took a group photo with Feng Yifan and everyone in the kitchen before saying goodbye.
After the leader left, everyone in the kitchen breathed a sigh of relief.
"Huh, I'm really nervous."
"Yes, this is really the first time I face the city leaders."
"That's right. I only saw him on TV before, but today I finally saw him in person."
“But the leaders are all very approachable.”
…
While everyone was discussing, Feng Yifan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's get started quickly and finish the work as soon as possible so that everyone can go back and rest early."
Everyone in the kitchen immediately became serious: "Yes, chef."
With everyone working together, naturally the kitchen was cleaned up quickly.
When leaving the reception hotel, Quan Jie once again specifically found Feng Yifan.
"Brother Feng, I really want to go to Su Ji to learn for a while. I have told Master about this several times, and Master said that I must get your consent. Brother, can you give me a chance?"
Feng Yifan looked Quan Jie up and down.
As for Quan Jie, he is also a very good cook.
Quan Jie is capable of doing almost all the work in the kitchen.
Moreover, Quan Jie is indeed more talented than his senior brothers.
It can even be said that Sun Mingxing has high expectations for Quan Jie, so he hopes that Quan Jie will have the opportunity to join Su Ji and gain some experience and learning there.
Feng Yifan hesitated for a moment and said, "Do you know the rules for entering Su Ji's kitchen?"
Quan Jie immediately said, "I know. I have to wait on the table for three months first."
Feng Yifan nodded and asked, "Then what do you think you can do?"
Quan Jie nodded seriously: "Sure, I'd like to start by being a waiter."
Zhang Fenglin was also a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that Quan Jie was willing to work as a waiter for three months just to work in Su Ji's kitchen.
You know, Quan Jie has been learning cooking from Sun Mingxing for many years.
He is capable of handling many tasks in the kitchen.
In Zhang Fenglin's opinion, even if he was not allowed to cook, he should at least start in the kitchen, even if he started from the water station, chopping board, or waiter, it was still considered working in the kitchen.
But Feng Yifan actually followed Su Ji's rules and let Quan Jie start as a waiter.
A waiter is equivalent to a waiter, which means he can hardly enter the kitchen.
But what Zhang Fenglin didn't expect was that Quan Jie would actually agree to be a waiter.
Seeing Quan Jie's serious expression, Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, then you can pack up and report to Su Ji after New Year's Day."
Quan Jie smiled happily after hearing this: "Okay, thank you, Senior Brother Feng."
Then Quan Jie happily ran towards the minibus that brought them to Fujing Building.
Zhang Fenglin looked at Quan Jie's back and couldn't help but say to Feng Yifan, "Do you really want to arrange it this way? Quan Jie is actually very capable in the kitchen."
Feng Yifan looked at Zhang Fenglin and said, "Brother Zhang, it seems that after all this time, you still can't let go of some things. You have to understand that he is going to work in Su Ji. Even if his kitchen staff is very capable, as long as I am in Su Ji, he must follow the rules."
Zhang Fenglin was stunned when he heard this, but he quickly came to his senses.
This rule of Su Ji was set by Su Quansheng back then. Whether it was the older generation of fellow apprentices or Feng Yifan when he came to Su Ji to learn cooking, they all followed this rule.
You have to work as a waiter for three months before you can enter the kitchen, and you can only start from the basics.
No matter what you did before coming to Su Ji, or what kind of cooking skills you have.
As long as you enter Su Ji, you must follow this process.
Lin Ruifeng, Ning Cheng, Ma Xiaolong, and even Chen Xu, Luo Yu, Hans and Tom all came to the hall.
Zhang Fenglin finally understood at this time. He looked at Feng Yifan and opened his mouth, but the words were hard to say.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Brother, it's fine for you to stay in Fujing Building. You don't have to go back to Su Ji."
Zhang Fenglin was stunned by this sentence. After hesitating for a moment, he could only nod and say, "Well, I understand. I am no longer qualified to return to Su Ji."
Feng Yifan said, "No, Brother, you are already a very good cook. You really don't need to go back to Su Ji to learn anything. Brother, you must have that confidence. In addition, you will always be Master's apprentice and Su Ji's disciple. Brother, you must remember this."
Zhang Fenglin was truly moved when he heard this because he had gained the recognition of his master.
