After receiving the news, Fujinglou obviously could not remain as calm as Feng Yifan.
Sun Mingxing was more or less nervous after hearing the news, and immediately began a very detailed inspection in the kitchen, even more rigorous than usual.
"What's going on? Why aren't the things here cleaned up
How do you cut with this flower knife? Is this how your senior brother taught you
I told you to wash it, is this how you wash it? Take it all out and wash it again.
Plates, plates, where are the plates you prepared
… ”
As Sun Mingxing's almost roaring voice resounded throughout the kitchen, everyone in the kitchen became nervous at this moment. Everyone was very scared, worried that they would make even the slightest mistake.
But the more tense the atmosphere is, when everyone is trying their best not to make mistakes, the more likely mistakes are to occur.
Zhang Fenglin sensed that something was wrong in the kitchen at this time, so he and Sun Mingxing's eldest disciple took the initiative to try to appease Sun Mingxing.
"Master, you don't have to be so nervous. In fact, we in Fujing Building usually do everything very well. Now we just need to perform at our usual level. I believe we will be recognized."
"Yes, Master. If you are so nervous, we will be nervous too. And if you keep getting angry like this, it's not good for your health either."
Sun Mingxing looked at the two of them with an unusually serious expression: "What's wrong? Are you two beginning to feel overwhelmed? Don't you know who are the people coming today? They are the world's top restaurant rating agency, don't you know what that means to us?"
When the eldest disciple heard what his master said, he was completely speechless for a moment.
Zhang Fenglin still said stubbornly, "Master, even if they are from the world's top rating agency, our dishes are not made for them. We make them for the diners. As long as every diner likes it, is it important whether we can get their approval?"
After hearing this, Sun Mingxing raised his head and looked at Zhang Fenglin.
The next moment, he asked seriously, "Zhang Fenglin, do you know what you are talking about? Is it that for you, getting the recognition of the world's top rating agency is such a meaningless thing?"
Zhang Fenglin hesitated immediately and did not dare to continue speaking.
In fact, in Zhang Fenglin's heart, he naturally also hoped to gain that recognition.
Even if it is only a one-star rating, it is what Zhang Fenglin pursues and expects.
But in this situation, Sun Mingxing's current nervousness has obviously brought some uncertainty to the entire kitchen, so Zhang Fenglin still hopes to persuade his uncle.
After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Fenglin said, "Uncle Master, we all hope to gain recognition, but please don't forget that we have already gained the recognition of Uncle Master and Yifan. With their recognition, do we still have to worry about anything?"
Sure enough, after changing his thinking, Sun Mingxing suddenly calmed down.
Perhaps Sun Mingxing could ignore other people's advice.
However, when Zhuang Daozhong and Feng Yifan were mentioned in front of him, Sun Mingxing still showed some respect.
In particular, Zhang Fenglin said that Feng Yifan also recognized him and the current Fujinglou.
Feng Yifan's recognition still carries enough weight in Sun Mingxing's eyes.
Seeing that the master had calmed down, the eldest disciple quickly said, "Master, Junior Brother Zhang is right. With the approval of Uncle Master and Junior Brother Feng, we will definitely be fine."
Sun Mingxing finally calmed down and thought that he had indeed been a little too radical before.
He waved his hand and said, "Okay, you two will take care of the preparations in the kitchen, I'll go take a look at the front, I hope we can get through smoothly."
Zhang Fenglin and senior disciple Sun Mingxing looked at each other, and then they both went about their business.
Sun Mingxing walked out of the kitchen, adjusted his mentality slightly, and then stepped into Fujing Building.
Although it was past noon, there were still guests in Fujing Building.
The waiters at Fujinglou were also busy.
It can be said that the waiters in Fujinglou who were selected by Su Liancheng and Mei Ru are quite good, and the quality of their service is also very high.
So after walking around the restaurant, Sun Mingxing couldn't find any problems.
Finally, Sun Mingxing returned to the kitchen, glanced at the restaurant of Fujinglou, and calmed down completely.
Just at this moment, Sun Mingxing received a call.
"Hey, Uncle Master? Are you a little nervous?"
Sun Mingxing never expected that Feng Yifan would call him at this time.
At this time, Feng Yifan was standing in the back alley of Su Ji, and said with a smile: "Uncle Master, I know that Quan Jie should have called you to inform you that the rating agency will go to Fujing Building today. I also know that you must be a little nervous when you heard the news."
Sun Mingxing didn't say anything because Feng Yifan didn't let him say anything either.
"Actually, it's normal for you to be nervous. Usually, most people get nervous when they encounter something like this for the first time. Even though I've experienced this many times, I still get nervous sometimes.
But I want to tell you, uncle, that you don’t need to be nervous, because they don’t represent everything. Even if you are not selected by them, it still doesn’t mean that Fujinglou is not excellent, and it doesn’t mean that your cooking skills are not good. We chefs only need to dedicate delicious food to diners. "
Listening to Feng Yifan's words, Sun Mingxing hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "Feng Yifan, after all, I am your uncle, you think I can't bear this pressure? I tell you, I am fine now, I will definitely make Fujinglou recognized."
Feng Yifan was on the phone, and when he heard his uncle finally couldn't hold back his laughter and shouted, he couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, good and good, this is what a master should be like, this is Su Ji's disciple."
Sun Mingxing continued to pretend to be calm and said with great force: "Okay, are you okay? If not, hang up. I'm busy here."
Feng Yifan saw that his uncle was full of momentum, but he could still vaguely hear a lack of confidence in him.
He finally said with a smile: "Uncle Master, I can be sure that this year's star recommendation will definitely include Su Ji, and it will be Su Ji's noodles, so Uncle Master, you must work hard."
When Sun Mingxing heard this, he was indeed deeply shocked.
It’s not because Su Kee’s noodles will be recommended.
More importantly, Sun Mingxing knew very well that it was impossible to announce the results now, but Feng Yifan was so sure about it, which was enough to show his confidence.
I wanted to say something, but the caller had hung up.
However, although the phone call had been hung up, Sun Mingxing was no longer nervous and he regained his confidence.
When Sun Mingxing returned to the kitchen, it can be said that every apprentice and kitchen staff who saw him felt that he was different.
After taking a look, Zhang Fenglin realized that his uncle should have let go of his nervousness.
Afterwards, everyone in the kitchen started to get busy as usual.
It seemed as if the previous tense atmosphere had disappeared as Sun Mingxing let go.
Feng Yifan put his phone back into his pocket and returned to the kitchen. At this time, it was very close to the lunch break at Su Ji, so there was almost no need for the head chef to come out. Everyone in the kitchen had almost finished their work.
Shi Jiahui saw Feng Yifan coming back from outside and asked with a smile: "Did you call your uncle?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, I am worried that Master is too nervous and may not perform well."
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Sure enough, I knew you must have discovered that Quan Jie sent a message to Master."
Feng Yifan said: "It is understandable that Quan Jie still cares about Master Uncle very much, and he also knows that for Master Uncle, being able to get a star rating is what he has been pursuing for so long."
Shi Jiahui then asked: "What about us this time? Can we get a star rating?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "We should be recommended this time. Whether we can get a star rating depends on the subsequent opinions of the judges."
Shi Jiahui was somewhat helpless: "You can't just take the star, this is really not in line with your status."
Feng Yifan said, "Big sister, you don't need to provoke me with such words. In fact, it is relatively easy for our Su Ji and Ruo restaurants to get stars. You should also have that confidence."
When Shi Jiahui heard this, he immediately said happily: "Hahaha, that's what we've been waiting for, so we'll be waiting for you."
When Feng Yifan saw the senior sister turn around and leave, he felt a little amused.
Why does it seem like if I say something, I can definitely get it
However, Feng Yifan didn't really care about getting the star, because he was indeed confident.
Perhaps for many restaurants, it is difficult to get stars.
And that's because those restaurants don't understand their rating mechanism well enough.
Feng Yifan, who has helped many restaurants get stars, is very clear about the star rating mechanism, so it is not difficult for him to get stars.
Even if he really wanted to, he could go to Shanghai now and package a star-rated restaurant in a very short time.
Because there is a standard for all judgments, and as long as there is a standard, everything will be easier.
Of course, this still requires sufficient cooking skills, and one must be proficient in a variety of dishes and be able to come up with a menu worthy of a star in a short period of time.
But that is not Feng Yifan’s style. He still hopes that Su Ji and Chinese dishes can gain more recognition.
In particular, we need to make foreigners and some people who always prefer foreign things understand that Chinese cuisine is not inferior to anyone, and that each Chinese dish has its own connotation and heritage behind it, which cannot be compared with many star-rated restaurants abroad.
The business was over and the room had been cleaned up. Everyone gathered in front of the kitchen, their eyes fixed on Feng Yifan.
Just after putting away the knives, Feng Yifan looked up and saw everyone surrounding him, and was a little surprised.
"What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Everyone wants to know how everyone performed today? Can our Su Ji be recommended globally?"
When Feng Yifan heard his father-in-law ask this, he smiled and said, "Everyone's performance is as good as always. Can we get the global recommended restaurant? I think it shouldn't be a problem. After all, we should have confidence in our own things. If we don't have confidence in ourselves, how can we get others to recognize it?"
Hearing this answer, everyone present cheered.
It's clear that everyone is very excited about the results.
Being able to be recommended by a star restaurant rating agency, Su Ji will truly become famous all over the world.
Seeing that everyone was excited, Feng Yifan smiled bitterly and said, "Did I make a wrong judgment? I originally thought that everyone would not care much about this recommended restaurant, but it seems that everyone seems to care quite a lot."
Su Ruoxi said: "Of course, everyone cares about it. Not everyone is like you, who can easily run a three-star restaurant."
Feng Yifan then added: "It is indeed quite easy."
Hearing this, Su Ruoxi said, "You really deserve a beating when you're like this."
Tian Lang laughed and said, "Hahaha, I think my uncle really deserves a beating. He seems very cocky, but it seems that my uncle is not lying. My uncle can really run a three-star restaurant easily."
Shi Jiahui said: "That's for sure. After all, your uncle himself has five stars."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "If you really pursue star ratings like I did before, most of you might not be able to handle it. I think it's good now. Everyone is more relaxed."
Ma Xiaolong, Catherine, Hans and Tom all nodded.
The four of them have experienced the devilish chef side that Feng Yifan displayed when he was striving to become a three-star chef.
That was indeed a torment for everyone in the kitchen and the restaurant, and it was definitely not as relaxing as it is today.
Su Ruoxi asked: "You said that the current requirements are not based on star ratings, so does that mean we can't get star ratings?"
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be impossible to get it, but if it's three stars, it might still be a little difficult. After all, some of the hardware requirements for three-star restaurants are unreasonable, and I don't like being asked that way. We just need to make good food."
Everyone was more or less disappointed to hear that they might not get three stars.
Feng Yifan clapped his hands when he saw this: "Don't be like this. If we can't get three stars, it's not our problem. That's their loss. Why do we need them to judge such a good restaurant like Su Ji?"
After being encouraged by Feng Yifan, everyone's fighting spirit was rekindled.
Although they were still somewhat concerned in their hearts, they all appeared to be full of fighting spirit on the surface.
Feng Yifan continued, "Okay, everyone take a break and then start preparing dinner. They said they will come to Ruo Restaurant tonight, but there is no guarantee that they will not come to Su Ji as well, so we all have to be serious. Remember, our Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant are the best.
So we don’t have to compromise with anybody, we just have to stick to who we are and we are the best restaurant.”
At this moment, everyone responded in unison: "It's the chef."
