Hardcore Chef Dad

Chapter 713: The sense of oppression given by Feng Yifan (second update)

Views:

After listening to her father's introduction to the hotel's censorship system, Feng Ruoruo said in surprise: "Dad, you know so much."

Yang Xiaoxi also said: "Yes, Father Feng knows a lot of things."

Yang Zhiyi did not refute anything, but quietly took out his little notebook and wrote all of this down.

Feng Yifan received his daughter's praise and smiled and said, "Actually, Dad doesn't know much. He only knows things related to his work. He knows about this hotel system because he used to work at the headquarters of this hotel."

Feng Ruoruo suddenly asked curiously: "Dad, can the uncle in the kitchen downstairs pass the test of Big Bear?"

After hearing his daughter's question, Feng Yifan had no way to give an answer.

After all, the hotel has its own standards for inspection. As for whether it can pass the inspection, Feng Yifan is not an inspector and naturally does not know the specific standards.

However, Feng Yifan couldn't help laughing when he heard his daughter give Walsh a random nickname.

"Ruoruo, you can't just give people nicknames casually."

Feng Ruoruo came close to her father and asked with a smile: "Why? That person looks like a big bear, so tall and big."

At this moment, Feng Yifan remembered the time when he took his two children to the zoo.

I just happened to see a big black bear in the zoo.

To be honest, Walsh's physique and appearance do look a bit like that big black bear.

So Feng Ruoruo directly gave the other party the nickname Big Bear.

Although he thought his daughter's nickname was quite descriptive, Feng Yifan still said to his daughter seriously: "Ruoruo, it is very impolite to give others nicknames casually. Don't do that in the future, understand?"

Seeing that her father was very serious, Feng Ruoruo finally nodded and agreed.

Feng Yifan was very satisfied with his daughter's nod. He smiled and patted his daughter's head and said, "Okay, have you and Xixi slept well? Do you want to go out and play together?"

Feng Ruoruo was originally a little unhappy because her father didn't allow her to give others nicknames.

But now when she heard her father ask if she wanted to go out and play, the little girl immediately forgot about her unhappiness and immediately clamored to go out and play.

"Okay, okay, let's go play."

Yang Xiaoxi was naturally looking forward to it: "Let's go, let's go play."

Shi Jiahui said, "That's right, let's go out and play. It's so boring to stay in the hotel. Now that we are in such a bustling metropolis, of course we should go out and play for a while."

Shi Tao naturally wanted to go out and play, and he also wanted to take his two younger sisters out for some fun.

Finally, everyone looked at Yang Zhiyi.

The latter was also a little depressed when facing everyone's gaze: "Why are you all looking at me? Do you think I don't want to go? Since I'm here, of course I have to go out and play."

When Yang Xiaoxi heard what her father said, she jumped up and down with joy: "Great, Dad wants one too."

So the group packed up, changed clothes for the two little girls, and then went out together.

Just when I was in the hotel elevator, I ran into the group of people who came for inspection.

Walsh saw Feng Yifan and the others were about to go out, and couldn't help asking, "Chef Feng, where are you going? Are you going to the restaurant for afternoon tea?"

Feng Yifan was stunned for a moment when being addressed as "Chef Feng" by the other party, but then he realized that the other party should address him in that way to show respect for him.

However, before Feng Yifan could respond, the two little girls answered first.

"No, we're going out to play."

"Yes, we are going to go out and play."

The boldness of the two little girls really made Walsh and others look at them with new eyes.

Usually, the little girls that Walsh and his colleagues met in China are relatively introverted. When they see strangers, they may hide beside their parents and dare not communicate with others easily.

Not to mention a big guy like Walsh who looks like a big brown bear.

But the two little girls, Feng Ruoruo and Yang Xiaoxi, seemed to have no fear of Walsh at all. It even seemed that the two little girls wanted to get close to Walsh.

When Feng Yifan saw the look on his daughter's face with Yang Xiaoxi, he vaguely guessed a little bit of his daughter's little thoughts.

Feng Ruoruo has become much braver after following her father for a long time.

Especially for some things that she is curious about, the little girl always likes to touch and explore them.

In Feng Ruoruo's eyes, Walsh looked like a big black bear, so the little girl naturally wanted to get closer and touch him to see if he was as interesting as the big black bear.

However, although she thought about it in her heart, Feng Ruoruo didn't dare to get close without her father's consent.

The elevator arrived at this time, and Feng Yifan and everyone led the little girls into the elevator.

Seeing that Walsh and the others had no intention of getting on the elevator, Feng Yifan asked, "Aren't you going to get on?"

Walsh smiled and replied, "We are not going down, we are going up. Chef Feng, please take care. We look forward to having dinner with you."

Feng Yifan nodded, then pressed the elevator door close button and ignored Walsh.

Only when the elevator door closed did Walsh and the others stop smiling.

Walsh also murmured helplessly: "Why did I run into Feng Yifan here? This guy is hated by all the chefs."

When the accompanying staff heard this complaint, they all pretended not to hear it.

Walsh was actually right. Feng Yifan was indeed hated by most chefs because his cooking skills were so great. His presence always made other chefs look worthless, and some of his dishes always became the ones that other chefs had to learn and imitate.

So for most chefs, facing Feng Yifan would be a huge pressure.

Especially the chefs who have worked with Feng Yifan will remember that feeling even more deeply.

So for a long time, Walsh has been avoiding mentioning Feng Yifan in hotel executive meetings.

It’s a pity that Feng Yifan always appears at every high-level meeting.

The reason is simple, it's because of the one-star menu.

That menu was the reserved menu of the hotel restaurant, and the hotel headquarters had spent a high price to buy the right to use it from Feng Yifan.

Therefore, at every hotel executive meeting, the sales of the package will inevitably be discussed.

And every time, the sales of that set meal put a lot of pressure on the senior management of the restaurant, including Walsh.

The financial report for the first half of the year has shown that the order rate for the one-star menu is still as high as 46%.

Although looking at the data alone, the number of hits did not exceed 50%.

But you have to know that among the other dishes in the hotel restaurant, no single dish has an order rate exceeding 20%.

This may be partly because the hotel restaurant has marked it as a certified one-star menu, but it is also because it is really popular, and some guests even choose to stay in the hotel for a day just to eat that set meal.

This situation makes Walsh and other chefs in the restaurant department feel ashamed.

And over the years, despite a lot of effort, the chefs have not been able to truly improve their star rating.

Walsh once suggested that it would be possible to simply hire a better chef to be the head chef.

Unfortunately, this proposal was ultimately rejected.

After all, the main business of the group is hotels, and the top management does not want to invest too much in restaurants. The top management of the hotel thinks that providing too good restaurant food will lead to a situation where the hotel's other excellent features are overlooked by others.

Therefore, the group would rather purchase and use Feng Yifan’s one-star menu at a high price than hire a better chef.

For Walsh personally, this was actually a good thing.

Because if the hotel management hired a better chef, he would definitely not be able to be the executive chef.

However, this also made Walsh feel ashamed when facing Feng Yifan.

Feng Yifan and his group took the elevator to the first floor. When they walked out of the elevator and entered the lobby, almost all the waiters in the hotel took the initiative to greet them.

There are also special people to guide them to the parking lot, arrange for them to get on the bus, and instruct the vehicle to drive out.

This entire service process also surprised Shi Jiahui.

Feng Yifan said bluntly: "Don't be surprised. Today the review team is here, so their service will definitely be twice as good. If it were any other time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so good."

Shi Jiahui couldn't help but laugh and said, "When you say that, aren't you saying that the hotel's service is fake?"

Feng Yifan said calmly: "Which hotel can provide quality service throughout the entire process? Many times, it's not that the service is bad, but that the person being served is in a bad mood or is dissatisfied with some aspects of the hotel, which may eventually lead to dissatisfaction with the service."

Shi Jiahui said instead: “But good service will definitely make guests feel comfortable.”

Feng Yifan nodded: "Of course, so, in fact, I think going to this kind of international hotel chain to learn is mainly about learning the attitude of service."

Shi Jiahui suddenly thought of Su Ji, and asked Feng Yifan: "So, will Su Ji also provide such service quality in the future?"

Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "Su Ji doesn't charge service fees, so we don't need to pursue such service quality. We just need to make our customers feel comfortable and happy when they eat."

At this point, Feng Yifan added: "Besides, we don't have that many people."

Shi Jiahui agreed.

After all, Su Ji is still a traditional restaurant and it is impossible for it to pursue the highest quality of service.

However, Su Ji’s original service was not bad.

When Mr. Su Quansheng was alive, Su Ji's service received a lot of praise, especially Su Quansheng would make some adjustments to the taste of each dish according to the diners' tastes. This is the truly excellent service of a restaurant, and it was also one of the factors that led to Su Ji's good reputation back then.

The taste can be adjusted according to the slight differences in taste of each diner.

This is easy to say, but very difficult to do in reality.

Over the years, Feng Yifan knew that his father-in-law had been pursuing it, but in fact he could not do it completely.

As for the other uncles, perhaps only the tenth uncle Shi Jinbin could barely do it.

So this will also be a challenge that Feng Yifan needs to face.

After Shi Jiahui drove onto the main road, he asked, "Where do Ruoruo and Xixi want to go?"

Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to a fun place."

Yang Xiaoxi followed up and said, "Yes, let's go to a fun place."

The answers of the two little girls embarrassed Shi Jiahui. She really didn't know where was the fun place that the two children talked about

It was Shi Tao who said, "Mom, let's go to the pedestrian street first."

Shi Jiahui thought about it and felt that the pedestrian street was indeed a good place to go. There were many distinctive buildings and many shopping malls to visit. Most importantly, there were many snacks to eat. Most importantly, the pedestrian street led directly to the Bund, so that you could go directly to see the night view at night.

She nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the pedestrian street first."

Feng Ruoruo asked curiously: "Aunt Jiahui, where is the pedestrian street?"

Yang Xiaoxi helped answer: "A pedestrian street is a street where you can only walk."

Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, isn't that the same street as ours?"

Shi Jiahui smiled as he drove and answered, "Yes, almost. But what about the pedestrian street here? It's wider than your street, and there will be many, many people."

Feng Ruoruo was even more curious: "Is it bigger than our street?"

Shi Jiahui replied: "Yes, it's bigger than yours."

Yang Xiaoxi asked, "Are there any delicious foods?"

Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Yes, there are a lot of delicious food."

The two little girls immediately laughed and were quite looking forward to the pedestrian street.

Yang Zhiyi, who was sitting in the back, said: "I haven't been to the pedestrian street for many years. I remember when I got married with Xixi's mother, we came here once and took wedding photos here."

When Yang Xiaoxi heard what her father said, she immediately asked, "Dad, you and Mom are here, why don't you bring Xixi with you?"

This sentence made everyone in the car burst into laughter.

The two little girls didn't understand why everyone was laughing

Feng Ruoruo helped Yang Xiaoxi ask, "Why are you laughing? Xixi is right. It's wrong for Xixi's parents to come here to play by themselves instead of bringing Xixi along."

Feng Yifan hugged his daughter and said, "It's not that Xixi's parents didn't take care of her, it's because Xixi wasn't born yet at that time."

Yang Zhiyi also explained to his daughter: "At that time, mom and dad had just gotten married, and Xixi you were not born yet. But actually, mom and dad brought Xixi with them. At that time, Xixi was in mom's belly, so Xixi doesn't remember it."

After listening to his father's words, Yang Xiaoxi thought about it carefully and said, "I really don't remember."

The little girl's appearance made everyone in the car laugh again.

Yang Zhiyi smiled and said to his daughter: "It's okay. If you don't remember, Dad will take you to have fun this time and let Xixi remember the parts she didn't remember."

Yang Xiaoxi immediately laughed happily: "Okay, Dad is so nice."

The atmosphere in the car became very joyful because of the little girls. Shi Jiahui drove steadily and soon arrived at the outskirts of the pedestrian street. He found a parking lot and parked the car.

After getting off the car, Feng Yifan and his friends walked towards the pedestrian street along with the bustling crowd.
