After the highlights of the plating, the video directly switches to the first dish.
Everyone who watched the video was surprised when they saw the first dish.
A very small puff pastry with a bright red ham roll on top, stuffing inside the ham roll, and embellished with little screaming circles. This dish is so exquisite that it is beyond everyone's expectation.
"Wow, is this really a dish? It can be made so small and delicate."
"Are you hungry? It's gone in one bite."
"Yeah, this is too small, isn't it?"
“Can this be considered a dish?”
"Why does it feel so strange?"
…
After some questioning, someone quickly came out to explain what was going on with this seemingly small dish
“It looks like the people upstairs have never been to a Western restaurant
This is the first dish. In fact, it should be considered an appetizer. Its purpose is to whet the appetite of the guests and to guide the subsequent dishes. It should not steal the taste of the subsequent dishes. At the same time, it should not be too large to make the guests full all at once, otherwise it will be difficult to serve the subsequent dishes. "
After this explanation, people online still went directly to ask those famous online chefs.
In fact, this dish of Feng Yifan's also confused several well-known chefs on the Internet.
To be honest, these famous chefs on the Internet are not considered to be top chefs.
Because some top chefs released some of Feng Yifan's previous cooking videos during a previous argument, and one can actually see Feng Yifan's cooking skills.
After judging Feng Yifan's level, those truly top chefs would naturally not get involved in this mess.
As for the well-known online chefs who have come forward to raise some questions, they have some fame on the Internet, but their actual level is not that high.
So now seeing such a video, just watching the highlights of the plating has left several people speechless.
If you still don't realize the other party's strength at this time, it's probably impossible for you to become famous on the Internet.
So when people start looking for them and asking for their opinions on such a dish.
To everyone's surprise, the few people who had previously questioned Feng Yifan's quality but hyped it up online all chose to remain silent.
Seeing that there was no professional evaluation to be found, many people on the Internet continued to argue with each other.
However, because no one who truly looks professional came forward, the arguments from both sides were not very sustainable.
It seems that the debate about Feng Yifan on the Internet is about to end like this.
Seeing that her popularity seemed to be declining, Li Feier quickly found Feng Yifan and asked him to post a Weibo.
"Chef Feng, at this time you should post a Weibo and use your last bit of popularity to promote yourself and your western restaurant. I believe that many people will come to taste your food in no time."
Feng Yifan also smiled helplessly: "Is this how all advertisements are done now?"
Su Ruoxi quickly said, "Xixi's mother asked you to do it, so you posted it. You said you created a Weibo account before, but how many messages did you post? Many fans came to me and left comments on my Weibo all day, asking what you were busy with."
Feng Yifan laughed and said, "Hahaha, isn't this great? You have something to do."
Su Ruoxi immediately said: "Then why don't you post a Weibo now to advertise it?"
Then, Su Ruoxi and Li Feier encouraged the little girls and helped persuade their father Feng.
Finally, Feng Yifan agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll post a Weibo."
Then Feng Yifan wrote a Weibo post.
“First of all, I want to thank everyone for their trust and support for my cooking skills. I was indeed just an ordinary chef and never thought that I would win the support of so many people and become a hot topic on the Internet. I can only say thank you again here.
As for the Western restaurant, it’s because I had spent five years abroad and learned a lot of Western cooking skills. I think there are actually a lot of things worth learning about Western food, and I hope to use our own country’s ingredients to cook those Western dishes for everyone to taste.
That's why I decided to open a western restaurant like this, so that the price of western food can be slightly lowered, and it will no longer be considered high-end cuisine, but a dish that everyone can enjoy.
This time, it’s just an attempt of mine, and I’m not sure whether you will like it.
So I sincerely welcome everyone here to come to Huaicheng and taste the food in my western restaurant on Huaicheng Ancient Street.
I will also collect your opinions and try to improve it in the future. "
Feng Yifan sent out such a long Weibo post, and also attached a poster that Meng Shitong and her team made for the opening of their restaurant.
All of a sudden, just when the popularity was already on the verge of fading, another bombshell was dropped.
Many people who had previously followed Feng Yifan's Weibo immediately began to repost his Weibo.
Some people even spread the news on Weibo.
"Great! I finally got to hear Chef Feng post on Weibo."
"My youth is over! Chef Feng posted on Weibo."
“Hahaha, it really was Chef Feng who posted this on Weibo.”
"Did you send it yourself? Could it be that Ruoruo's mother sent it on your behalf?"
"It's possible. It was Ruoruo's mother who sent it on her behalf once before."
"That's not necessary, is it? With all the commotion today, Chef Feng wouldn't show up at all? That's just too unreasonable."
"That's because you don't understand Chef Feng. He doesn't like these things. He just wants to cook well. He is a top chef who truly has his own pursuits."
"Is Chef Feng really a top chef?"
"Of course, Chef Feng was once the chef of a three-star restaurant."
"Is it true? How do you know?"
"Hey, don't worry about how I know. You will all know soon."
…
Among the many comments, the one that revealed that Feng Yifan was once the head chef of a three-star restaurant abroad quickly attracted a lot of attention, and began to be liked, commented on, and forwarded by many people.
As a result, Feng Yifan's popularity increased again.
Many people are wondering, which three-star restaurant is Feng Yifan the chef of
When Li Feier saw this comment, she smiled and handed it to Feng Yifan and everyone else to see.
Yang Zhiyi made a decisive guess: "This comment was probably posted by one of the busy young people at Su Ji?"
Su Ruoxi guessed, "Is it Ma Xiaolong?"
Yang Zhiyi shook his head: "Not necessarily, it could also be Chen Xu or Luo Yu."
Li Feier added: "Then maybe Catherine? Her Chinese is also good."
Three little girls, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, ran on the grass by the lake for a while. When they saw their parents sitting there motionless, they ran back immediately.
Feng Ruoruo saw her mother chatting with Aunt Li and Uncle Yang, and they were all looking at their phones with a smile on their faces. She threw herself into her mother's arms and asked, "Mom, what are you looking at?"
Yang Xiaoxi also got into her parents' arms and asked, "Yes, what are you looking at?"
Chen Yaofei moved closer to Feng Ruoruo, and then Su Ruoxi took the two girls into her arms and looked at them.
"Look, someone here has spread the news that your father Feng is the chef of a three-star restaurant. So, we are all guessing, who is this person?"
Feng Ruoruo heard this and said, "You can look at his name."
Su Ruoxi said: "The names on the Internet are all fake. You can't tell who they are just by looking at the names."
Chen Yaofei also said: "Yes, I heard from my grandparents and parents that you can name anything you want on the Internet, so you don't know who the other person is."
Feng Ruoruo fell silent, stared at her mother's phone for a while, and suddenly said, "Could it be Uncle Xiaolin?"
After hearing what Feng Ruoruo said, everyone laughed: "Hahaha, we are guessing too."
When Feng Yifan and his three families were playing with the little girls by the lake, Shi Jiahui and a group of young people were also gathered in the Lin family shop, and they had been paying close attention to the online discussions about Feng Yifan.
As for the direct revelation that Feng Yifan was once the head chef of a three-star restaurant, it was the result of collective discussion by Shi Jiahui and others.
The Weibo account that posted the comments was a newly registered one by them.
As soon as the comments came out, it was like a fire was ignited again. The discussion about Feng Yifan on the Internet quickly grew and everyone was very excited.
Ma Xiaolong said: "Very good, initial results are showing, we can increase publicity next time."
Lin Ruifeng asked: "Will Master be unhappy if this happens?"
Shi Jiahui said: "No, if we promote it like this now, the western restaurant business will definitely be booming in the future. Your master will definitely not be unhappy then."
Catherine was a little worried about herself: "I'm afraid that if the business becomes popular, we will be a drag on the chef."
Shi Jiahui asked, "You haven't mastered those dishes yet?"
Catherine, Hans and Tom looked at each other, and then all three of them shook their heads.
Ma Xiaolong said: "It is not easy to fully master it. It cannot be mastered in a short period of time. We still need some practice, especially some practice on the heat and seasoning. Otherwise, when cooking, a slight deviation will cause a deviation in taste."
Ning Cheng asked curiously: "Is it really that strict?"
Ma Xiaolong nodded: "Yes, it is very strict."
Chen Xu and Luo Yu looked at each other, both of them feeling even more unsure.
Luo Yu spoke first: "As for that dessert, I am confident because I have made it many times. I just adjusted the shape and did not add milk to the chestnut paste.
But when it comes to cooking, I feel like I really have no talent.”
Shi Jiahui saw that Luo Yu was a little disappointed, so he put his arm around Luo Yu's shoulders and said, "You don't have to be like this. In fact, everyone has their own expertise. It's not easy to become an all-round chef like Feng Yifan. In addition to talent, you need to immerse yourself in it for many years.
So now that you are just getting started, there will definitely be a big gap, but as long as you work hard, it should get better slowly. "
Catherine also said: "Yes, don't be discouraged. Hans was born as a pastry chef. He also spent a lot of time learning cooking. I believe you just need more time to learn, and you should be able to learn it. Even if you can't be proficient in it, you should be able to make the dishes on the menu."
Chen Xu comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here to study with you."
With everyone's encouragement, Luo Yu regained her confidence and decided to study hard.
At this time, Ma Xiaolong raised his phone and said, "Look everyone, there are changes on Weibo again."
Everyone looked at their phones and saw the official account of the travel and food magazine founded by Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping, which had retweeted Feng Yifan's Weibo post.
When the magazine’s official account reposted it, the effect was naturally completely different.
You know, that magazine is very famous both at home and abroad.
In particular, many overseas food critics are regular readers of this magazine and they also pay attention to this magazine.
After the magazine’s official account reposted the article, it instantly attracted the attention of some domestic and foreign food critics.
Abroad, top food critics have recognized Feng Yifan one after another.
"We've been looking for him for so long, it turns out he has returned home."
“No wonder there’s no news about him in so many restaurants abroad.”
"It's been half a year since I went back."
"Sure enough, we were not disappointed. The new restaurant finally opened."
"It looks like it's time to go taste it."
…
Lu Xihe took out his mobile phone and handed the forwarded Weibo to Lu Cuiling and Feng Jiandong.
"Hahaha, just look at it, your son will become a celebrity soon."
Originally, Lu Cuiling also wanted to accompany her granddaughter out for a trip today, but when Lu Xigu and Quan Chengping learned that Feng Jiandong had arrived, they took the initiative to go to the ancient street to find the old couple.
Although Lu Cuiling was somewhat unwilling, she finally came with the two old men after being persuaded by Feng Jiandong.
Lu Cuiling took a look at the forwarded Weibo and naturally understood the intentions of her uncle and uncle-in-law.
"It's useless for you to make my son a celebrity. He is him and I am me. Don't expect to bribe me or persuade me in this way. I will definitely not go back to see that old man."
Quan Chengping and Lu Xigu looked at each other, and then he decisively changed the subject and did not mention the matter of persuading Lu Cuiling at all.
"No, I asked you and Jiandong to come here today because I wanted to meet you and get together. Besides, Yifan is so outstanding that he will definitely become famous without our help."
Feng Jiandong could see that his wife's uncle and brother-in-law were obviously a little afraid of his wife.
He had no choice but to come out and smooth things over: "Yifan, you have been working hard on your own all these years. Now with the help of your uncle and uncle, you will definitely reach a higher level. Cuiling and I still have to thank your uncle and uncle."
Lu Cuiling immediately said, "That's because your son is good enough. Otherwise, do you think these two old guys would come to promote him so eagerly? Don't deny your son's efforts and attribute his achievements to others. Our son became famous because of his real ability."
Feng Jiandong remained expressionless when he heard what his wife said.
But in fact, in his heart, he was really very happy.
I didn't expect that you, Lu Cuiling, would also praise your son's excellence in public like this
