The news that Feng Yifan's Western Restaurant was about to open finally spread throughout Huaicheng through Meng Shitong and others' video, and also made known to many people on the Internet who had been following Feng Yifan for a long time.
After Meng Shitong and others edited and released the first related video, Su Ruoxi reposted it using her own Weibo account.
Afterwards, Feng Yifan also forwarded his wife's video.
This has confirmed everything and is also a public acknowledgement of the opening of the business.
Soon, comments began to be forwarded on the Internet.
The popularity of Feng Yifan Western Restaurant also quickly increased.
It is said that once a person becomes famous, he will inevitably attract a lot of trouble.
Soon after the news of Feng Yifan's opening of a western restaurant spread online, many people began to question it.
Some of them think that Feng Yifan is just an unknown little-known chef.
Even though he had shown off his skills in the Chinese Menu selection before, he had also released several cooking videos on the Internet, and even had cooking videos of several classic state banquet dishes.
But these still cannot prove that Feng Yifan has enough fame and status.
Therefore, some skeptical people think that Feng Yifan is such a person, and the fact that he has caused a sensation on the Internet just because his western restaurant is about to open is probably due to someone deliberately hyping it up behind the scenes.
The purpose is to elevate Feng Yifan's status, build momentum for the opening of his western restaurant, and take the opportunity to collect some IQ tax from fans.
When this point of view was put forward, it naturally gained support from many people who did not know Feng Yifan well.
Among them are some professional chefs, especially some who have studied Western cuisine abroad.
At first, these questioning voices were not loud, but they continued to ferment on the Internet, and there was a group of people who were specifically watching this matter and talking about it non-stop.
Until several chefs who were also well-known on the Internet came out to express doubts.
At this point, several lesser-known chefs questioned Feng Yifan's identity, which directly ignited the fire.
Feng Yifan had originally agreed with his family that he would take his three daughters with him, cook some snacks for them, and then go to the lake for a picnic.
Because next week, Feng Yifan will devote himself to the opening of the western restaurant.
So there may be a period of time after this when I won’t be able to be with my daughters every day.
It can be considered as compensation to my daughters in advance.
But when the three little girls met in front of Su Ji's door and got everything ready to set off, Su Ruoxi and Li Fei'er simultaneously saw the fermentation of doubting voices on the Internet, and a fire was instantly ignited on the Internet.
From the very beginning, when people questioned Feng Yifan, some fans would speak up on Weibo, and the two sides were evenly matched.
When several chefs who were famous online came forward, the situation suddenly became one-sided.
Su Ruoxi looked at the many people who left doubts under her post on Weibo and felt very angry: "Are these people sick? Our restaurant opening is just a message posted online, and it is not for them to see. What qualifications do they have to question it?"
Li Feier took a look at the comments below the Weibo post, especially the ones that were pushed to the top, which questioned a chef who was somewhat famous online.
She also comforted Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi: "Don't get excited. Sometimes the Internet is like this. These people are just looking for trouble. They are all top keyboard chefs, keyboard state banquet masters, and keyboard chef gods. So they question everyone they see."
Su Ruoxi was still very angry: "Haven't they watched the previous videos of Ruoruo's father? Have they seen those dishes? They are all real state banquet dishes."
Yang Zhiyi said: "Yes, those are state banquet dishes, and everyone knows them. But because everyone knows them, many people have copied them online, so these people think that Chef Feng's ability to make these dishes does not prove that his personal skills are superior to others."
Feng Yifan was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled calmly and said, "I didn't say I was superior to others, did I?"
After hearing this, everyone who was originally preparing to travel together was stunned.
Su Ruoxi came to her senses first and said, "That's right. We don't want to be superior to others. I just said on my Weibo that my husband's western restaurant is about to open. This is for those who like us to hear. What does it have to do with these people?"
Li Feier helplessly explained: "Maybe because too many people are paying attention to you, you have become a hot search, so naturally all those who are questioning you have come to your door."
Feng Ruoruo didn't understand what was said at the beginning, but she heard Aunt Li say "I'm here" at the end.
The little girl couldn't help asking, "Who's here? Mom, who's here?"
Yang Xiaoxi was listening to Feng Ruoruo's words and asked curiously, "Who is coming?"
Chen Yaofei explained to her two good friends: "No one is coming. Xixi, your mother said it's on the Internet."
Feng Yifan heard what the three little girls said and smiled happily, "Okay, okay, we don't need to care about these people. Let's go and have fun. If they want to say these things online, let them say them. Why should we let them ruin our good mood?"
Feng Ruoruo continued her father's words and said, "Mom, let's go quickly."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Yes, let's go."
Chen Yaofei asked: "When do we set off?"
Feng Yifan replied: "Let's go, let's go now and have fun."
After saying that, Feng Yifan took the lead and led the three little girls to run quickly towards the street corner.
The others watched and could only quickly follow.
Su Ruoxi and Li Fei'er were left at the end. She still wanted to ask Li Fei'er for help, at least to find a way to protect her husband's reputation and prevent people on the Internet from saying bad things about her husband or even scolding him.
"Fei'er, you must have a way, right? Please help us."
Li Feier thought for a moment and said, "In fact, the simplest way is to delete this Weibo post. Maybe the doubts and arguments will disappear soon, but if you do this, the popularity created for the opening of Ruoruo's dad's western restaurant may also disappear soon."
Su Ruoxi originally wanted to agree, but then she changed her mind and felt that it would be a loss to just delete the Weibo post.
"If I delete the Weibo post directly, the popularity I had gathered before will dissipate. Then they will criticize my Weibo post for a long time, and some people will even curse us. Aren't we at a disadvantage? We can't just let it go like this."
Li Feier gave another idea: "Another way is to ask Meng Shitong and others to edit the rest of the video and post it online. We can use facts to shut up those who question it."
Su Ruoxi immediately agreed: "That's a good idea, then you can contact Xiao Meng and the others."
Li Feier nodded: "Okay, I'll contact them."
In fact, after the voices questioning Feng Yifan's identity and ability began to ferment on Weibo, Meng Shitong and others were also paying attention.
Among them, He Yaqian and Jasmine were confronting each other online.
On the other side, A Fei and A Bin were working hard on editing the video, wanting to release it as soon as possible to prove Feng Yifan's strength.
Faced with some doubts on the Internet, He Yaqian and Moli responded to each other without any hesitation.
"You guys shouldn't just talk here. You can ask those who have watched Chef Feng's videos before and went to Huaicheng specifically to taste Chef Feng's cooking to see if it's as exaggerated as you say."
"Besides, Chef Feng said that the same dish will taste different if cooked by different people."
"Yes, Chef Feng also said that top chefs will adjust the taste according to the tastes of different customers to suit the tastes of most diners. People who have been to Su Ji should have experienced this and understand Chef Feng's cooking skills."
At the call of He Yaqian and Moli, fans who had made a special trip to Huaicheng Su Ji to eat because of the video soon showed up and staged a distance protest under the Weibo post.
And as more and more people came, many diners posted photos of some of the dishes.
Some people who were following the debate online initially favored a few lesser-known chefs online, but gradually they all began to believe in Feng Yifan's cooking skills.
But just when things seemed to be starting to get better, someone suddenly came forward to reveal something.
"Let me tell you, those of you who are promoting Feng Yifan, that Feng Yifan is actually a hypocritical villain, and he is simply a fraud. He is also the one who sponsored the Chinese cuisine cooking competition, and one of the winners was his former senior brother."
This piece of news appeared on the Internet, and the matter was further fermented in an instant.
The voices of the black fans that had been suppressed seemed to have found evidence to support their claims against Feng Yifan. They began to make a crazy effort together and made all kinds of outrageous remarks on the Internet to slander Feng Yifan.
Seeing this, He Yaqian and Moli quickly told Meng Shitong about it, and then Meng Shitong also told Li Feier.
Li Feier saw that something was wrong, but she didn't dare to tell Su Ruoxi directly, so she could only tell Feng Yifan.
Yang Zhiyi happened to be nearby. After seeing this, he immediately said, "This is clearly an intentional smear campaign. I'm afraid the person who made the revelation must have participated in the previous Fujinglou cooking competition, and he must have won a high place."
Feng Yifan looked at them and said with a smile: "Don't worry about them. If I guess correctly, it should be Qi Deqiang."
Hearing this, Yang Zhiyi and Li Feier were a little surprised: "What? It's Qi Deqiang?"
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "I fired him from Fujing Building, so he must be holding a grudge against me. He has now moved to Dexing Building. I ran into him in the market before, showing off with a group of unremarkable apprentices. It's not surprising that he would do something like this."
Originally, Li Feier wanted to avoid Su Ruoxi and didn't want these things to irritate Su Ruoxi.
But when a few people were chatting, they didn't notice that Su Ruoxi had already pulled the children over.
Hearing these words, Su Ruoxi was immediately annoyed: "How could Qi Deqiang be like this? He was not very capable before. If it weren't for Ruoruo's father teaching him something, how could he compete with Senior Brother Lin for the first place? Now he is slandering us online."
Feng Yifan turned around and smiled, pulling his wife into his arms: "Okay, don't be angry. This kind of villain is not worth our anger."
Li Fei'er also helped and said, "Yes, Ruoxi, don't be angry, it's okay."
Yang Zhiyi took out his cell phone and said, “I’m here. If I meet this kind of person, I must expose his true face and let others know him.”
Next, the online arguments between the two sides became more and more intense.
It’s just that many people watching the game feel a little strange
Why has Feng Yifan, the person involved, never come forward
When the people who were criticizing Feng Yifan gained the upper hand by exposing the "inside story" of the Fujinglou competition, many fans began to doubt Feng Yifan's character.
Yang Zhiyi posted his Weibo very promptly, revealing some other facts.
"I think the person who said that Chef Feng was involved in a shady deal during the competition should be the champion of that competition, Chef Qi Deqiang, who was later recruited by Chef Feng to work at Huaicheng Fujinglou, right
Maybe you don’t know that Chef Qi Deqiang was able to win because of the guidance of Chef Feng.
And everyone who has witnessed the competition should know that Chef Feng did not help anyone privately at the time. He selflessly demonstrated to everyone how to cook the designated dishes for the competition, and told them many of the techniques and seasoning methods involved.
This should benefit many people who participated in the competition.
What about Qi Deqiang? After he entered the kitchen of Fujinglou and became one of the chefs, he began to cook dishes casually. He took advantage of his position as the chef and acted arrogantly every day. He did not cook the dishes well, which led to the decline of the quality of Fujinglou's dishes and its reputation.
Later, he was fired by Chef Feng, so he must be holding a grudge now, right?"
After Yang Zhiyi posted such a long Weibo post, because he is a well-known author, the popularity of this wave of events was quickly raised again.
As the popularity of the competition grew, some chefs who had personally witnessed the Fujinglou cooking competition soon left messages to help Yang Zhiyi prove the details of the competition.
This time, it was the turn of the person who uncovered the so-called shady dealings. He suddenly fell silent and dared not continue to speak out.
When people saw the other side fail to respond on the Internet, the public opinion naturally began to change again in an instant.
Just at this time, A Fei and A Bin finally completed the second video editing.
A video about the menu of Feng Yifan's soon-to-be-opened western restaurant was quickly posted on a video website and was forwarded to Weibo by He Yaqian and Moli.
Later, this video was forwarded by Yang Zhiyi, Li Feier and Su Ruoxi.
Even Feng Yifan was asked by everyone to open Weibo on his mobile phone and repost the video posted by Meng Shitong and others.
After the new video was released, the debate on Weibo stopped temporarily and people on both sides went to watch the video carefully.
When everyone saw the dishes shown in the video, they were really amazed for a moment, especially since the video was edited and a short highlight of Feng Yifan's plating was made, which gave everyone who watched the video a visual impact.
This may be the first time for many people to see the entire process of the chef plating and serving the dishes so intuitively.
