Feng Yifan told Meng Shitong that he wanted her and her friends to help photograph and recommend other people in the restaurant, and she immediately agreed.
In fact, Meng Shitong and others were originally planning something similar.
Because of this period of time, they have been sending out the videos they had previously shot at the restaurant.
It has also attracted considerable attention on the Internet, and many of their fans have urged them to update the article, wanting to know more about Ruo Restaurant.
After discussing with He Yaqian and others, Meng Shitong also made a similar decision.
That is to discuss with Feng Yifan and then go to Ruo Restaurant to shoot a few more times.
By the way, you can also interview other people in the kitchen of Ruo Restaurant.
In this way, we can also make an album about the chefs of the restaurant, and then continue to release new videos, which should make new and old fans very satisfied.
However, after Meng Shitong and the others discussed it, before they proposed it to Feng Yifan, they received an invitation from Feng Yifan first.
The two sides really hit it off.
Meng Shitong quickly told He Yaqian and others about the matter.
"Hahaha, we really have the same idea as Chef Feng. Chef Feng also hopes that we can film and promote other people in the restaurant's kitchen. He wants to promote other chefs so that not everyone only pays attention to him."
Hearing Meng Shitong's words, He Yaqian was a little surprised: "Wow, Chef Feng actually thought of the same thing as us?"
Meng Shitong nodded: "Yes, I just answered the phone."
Suddenly, Ah Fei, Ah Bin and Jasmine also became excited.
"Hahaha, we finally have something to shoot."
"That's right. I was wondering what we should shoot next."
“In fact, there are many things I can shoot, but I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to attract the people who are paying attention to it now.”
While Meng Shitong is happy, she still has some thoughts on preparing for a rainy day: "However, we do need to be vigilant and think carefully about what kind of videos we are going to make next. We can't just shoot Chef Feng's restaurant forever."
These words instantly calmed down the excited people.
Originally, Meng Shitong and others had some cooperation with the TV station through Li Feier.
And they also have a corresponding idea, which is to film more chefs' cooking skills so as to follow up on the introduction of Feng Yifan.
But now Li Feier is going to the province to take over some new projects.
Moreover, the new project may be a program focusing on cooking skills across the province, which will cause some conflicts with Meng Shitong and others.
In addition, most of the attention that Meng Shitong and others receive now comes from Feng Yifan's fans.
When all these problems came together, Meng Shitong and the others really found themselves in an awkward situation.
Although this time, Feng Yifan asked them to film and promote other chefs in Ruo Restaurant, which gave Meng Shitong and others some new topics, but what about after that
A group of people were thinking about finding a more suitable way out.
But after much thought, no one could come up with a suitable solution.
At this time, Meng Shitong said, "How about this, let's prepare first and go to Ruo Restaurant to shoot tomorrow. Then we can go there early and talk to Chef Feng and ask him to give us some advice. After all, he just came back from abroad, so maybe he will have some good ideas."
After hearing this, everyone thought that this was a good idea, so they stopped thinking about it for the time being and started preparing for tomorrow's shooting.
The next day, Meng Shitong and the others really came to the ancient street in the morning and came to the Ruo Restaurant which was not open yet.
Because if the restaurant was not open, Meng Shitong called Feng Yifan.
Not long after hanging up the phone, the door of the restaurant was opened from the inside and Su Liancheng came out to invite Meng Shitong and others in.
When you enter the restaurant, you can see that it has not yet opened for business because the tables and chairs have not been set out.
When Feng Yifan saw Meng Shitong and the others coming, he also smiled and welcomed them: "Welcome, welcome. I didn't expect you to come this morning."
When Meng Shitong and others entered the restaurant, A Fei immediately raised his camera and started filming.
Feng Yifan and Su Liancheng did not try to stop it when they saw it. They really hoped that Meng Shitong and the others could record it truthfully.
Meng Shitong took a look and said, "A Fei, don't be anxious. You should give Chef Feng and the others some time to prepare."
Feng Yifan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just take pictures. There is nothing in our restaurant that cannot be recorded truthfully. Everything can be shown to the diners for them to see and understand, even every one of our dishes."
Hearing this, Ah Fei pointed the camera at Feng Yifan and asked, "Chef Feng, you seem to be very confident in your cooking skills, right?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Of course I am confident, otherwise how can I open a restaurant?"
Ah Fei asked again: "Chef Feng, aren't you worried that others will learn your skills?"
Feng Yifan turned his head and looked at the people in the kitchen, and then everyone in the kitchen started laughing.
Shi Jiahui helped explain: "You guys say that, it shows that you still underestimate cooking skills. The skills of top chefs are not so easy to imitate. The selection of each ingredient, the control of the heat, and the seasoning are not easy to imitate.
And you should also know that one of the main features of our restaurant is that our chef will make temporary adjustments to the taste of the dishes according to the taste preferences of different diners.
So even if you are given a standard seasoning ratio, the dish you replicate may taste very different to people. "
Shi Jiahui's words surprised Meng Shitong and others.
Ah Fei, who has replicated several dishes, said: "This is probably the reason why chefs in China often say the right amount when cooking, right?"
Feng Yifan said: "Yes, the right amount means making some adjustments based on different people's tastes.
In fact, most people often overlook one point: the chefs of really good restaurants need to taste the dishes themselves when they are cooking. They have to make sure that the dishes taste good enough before they allow them to be cooked and served. This is the process of tasting the dishes.”
He Yaqian suddenly said, "Ah, I know this. I remember seeing some related clips before. The chef of a western restaurant would use a clean small spoon to taste the dish before serving it to make sure that the taste of the dish meets the requirements. Otherwise, it would be sent back for redo."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, this is also the job of a chef."
Jasmine asked curiously, "Doesn't the chef cook himself?"
Feng Yifan laughed and said, "Well, it depends on the chef's mood. Usually in famous restaurants, if the chef is a strict person, he will cook the main dish himself, just like our Ruo Restaurant now. I will let everyone cook other dishes, and I will cook the main dish myself."
Ah Fei seized the opportunity to ask, "What if it's not strict? Should we let other chefs do it?"
The smile on Feng Yifan's face grew even wider.
After a slight hesitation, Feng Yifan said, "In fact, even if the chef does not cook the dishes himself, he will supervise carefully. A chef who cherishes his reputation will not allow others to make any dish in the restaurant badly.
Being able to take over the chef's job to cook the main dish also means that the chef's cooking skills are recognized by the chef."
Meng Shitong thought about the photo shoot this time and hesitated for a moment before asking, "So, Chef Feng, you also want to promote other outstanding chefs in your restaurant?"
Hearing this, Feng Yifan was stunned for a moment, then he looked at Meng Shitong meaningfully and smiled.
"Hahaha, you can put it this way. In fact, the team in my restaurant's kitchen can be placed in the kitchen of any restaurant. They can become independent chefs. In other restaurants, they may feel a little restrained and frustrated when facing a chef like me."
Such confident and somewhat arrogant remarks surprised Meng Shitong and others.
But looking at the other people in the restaurant, it seemed that they had no objection to Feng Yifan's words.
Feng Yifan then said to the camera: "If one day, any of them can surpass me, then I am willing to give up the position of head chef, and I can retire and become a hands-off boss."
Ah Fei was also a little surprised when he saw Feng Yifan say this in front of the camera.
"Chef Feng, do you want me to edit this part out for you in post-production?"
Feng Yifan shook his head: "Of course not. I said to the camera, just to let you take a picture. You can edit it later and use it as the beginning of the introduction of these excellent chefs in our restaurant kitchen. It is my expectation for each of them."
Ah Fei smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then, Meng Shitong and the others also started some filming.
The filming started entirely from the morning preparations in the restaurant, but this time the protagonist of the main shot was no longer Feng Yifan.
A Fei, A Bin and Jasmine used three lenses to record the morning of Ruo Restaurant from different perspectives. First, they took a group portrait to truthfully record the busy figures of everyone in the restaurant in the morning.
At the beginning, because of the camera filming, everyone in the kitchen was a little uncomfortable.
Even Su Liancheng seemed a little unnatural.
Later, with the help of Meng Shitong and He Yaqian, everyone gradually got used to working in front of the camera.
There was an episode in this, that is, the interns recruited by Su Liancheng arrived.
Su Liancheng gave a serious explanation to the first group of interns.
The key point is to tell them that if they want to work in a restaurant, they need to have a heart to serve the guests and make sure the guests enjoy the food.
Both of them could understand it.
And the female of the two people obviously came with admiration for Feng Yifan.
So after listening to Su Liancheng's introduction, the girl immediately expressed her opinion: "Please rest assured, I came here to stay, because this is the holy land in my heart, and my favorite Chef Feng is here. I hope I can really wear the same work clothes as Chef Feng."
The female interns said this because the clothes they wore during their internship were different.
Because they are interns, they are not qualified to wear the restaurant's work clothes and can only wear intern aprons.
Therefore, this fan of Feng Yifan hopes that he can stay.
Su Liancheng didn't have any special comment on this. He then began to teach the two people. First of all, of course, he had to teach the two interns how to set the dining table. The clean tablecloth must be flat on all four sides and the surface must also be flat.
At the same time, the tableware should be placed at the center of the table, ensuring that each piece of tableware is at the same distance from the center point, as well as the distance between the plate and the knife and fork.
The most important thing is how to fold the tablecloth, how to place the tablecloth, which set of knives and forks to serve and when, and what kind of wine glasses to serve the guests.
It can be said that Su Liancheng really gave the two of them a comprehensive explanation of everything in the morning.
Among them, the girl who wanted to stay was really serious and recorded every point in a notebook.
All of this was seen by Feng Yifan and was also captured by Meng Shitong and her team's cameras.
As for Feng Yifan, he had already made up his mind about who to keep.
Meng Shitong also took the opportunity to ask him: "Chef Feng, it seems that you should be satisfied with that girl, right? Do you want to keep her?"
Feng Yifan responded softly: "Shouldn't hard-working people be kept? Talent may be important, but hard work is indispensable. So if someone is talented but not hardworking enough, I will definitely not let him stay in my restaurant."
Meng Shitong asked curiously, "So, does she have a chance to learn cooking from you?"
Feng Yifan looked at Meng Shitong strangely.
The latter met Feng Yifan's gaze, smiled and said, "In fact, before she came here, she had contacted Yaqi and asked how Yaqi could learn cooking here. Yaqi suggested that she should first find a way to work in your restaurant."
Feng Yifan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "So she used the backdoor?"
Meng Shitong quickly said, "No, no, it doesn't count. She doesn't actually know us. She just left a private message online, and Yaqi just suggested that she come and apply for the job."
After listening to Meng Shitong's explanation, Feng Yifan looked at the girl and whispered, "If she really works hard enough, she will have the opportunity to study in the kitchen. It depends on her performance in the future. I said that talent is also very important."
Meng Shitong nodded, roughly understanding what Feng Yifan meant.
In short, although girls are working hard now, if they want to enter the kitchen, they still need to show certain talents, otherwise they can only be waiters.
Meng Shitong originally thought that it might be a little difficult for girls who had no basic knowledge.
But she suddenly thought of Luo Yu. It seemed that in Luo Yu's experience, she was just an ordinary waiter at the beginning, but she was able to become a dessert chef through her own efforts.
Thinking of this, Meng Shitong looked at the girl who followed behind Su Liancheng, watched Su Liancheng's every move carefully, and wrote down what Su Liancheng said in her notebook. She felt that maybe this girl could really enter Feng Yifan's kitchen.
Feng Yifan was actually also secretly observing the two interns, and he had a certain judgment on their performance.
