It was still six o'clock in the evening, and under the photography of Meng Shitong and others, the restaurant opened for business.
Guests who had made reservations came to the restaurant one after another.
Su Liancheng, along with two interns, greeted tonight's guests at the door.
After the guests enter the restaurant, Feng Yifan will bring all the chefs in the kitchen to welcome the guests tonight again.
"Welcome."
After Feng Yifan shouted, the others followed suit and shouted in unison.
"Welcome."
The entire process was filmed by Meng Shitong and others.
Although there was no live broadcast today, Meng Shitong and her team actually shot more footage and saw the various preparations made by the chefs in the restaurant throughout the day.
I also witnessed the exquisite knife skills of Feng Yifan and some other chefs.
Especially when taking individual photos of other chefs during the period, each of them showed off his or her own skills.
Catherine can quickly prepare dishes in various shapes and has great control over the stovetop temperature.
Ma Xiaolong has very superb knife skills. He is the best in the kitchen except Feng Yifan, and he is also the only one who can keep up with Feng Yifan's speed in processing ingredients.
Shi Jiahui also has an original cooking method. She can use several different pots at the same time, completely based on her own judgment, and her control over the dishes is extremely precise.
Although Hans and Tom are relatively conventional, they both have their own strengths.
For example, Hans has the advantage of strength, so he can chop up all kinds of large bones, and he can accurately debone the grouper meat. The fish bones are very clean after deboning.
Tom has some unique recipes for making soup, which makes the soup taste very rich and fragrant.
Needless to say, Chen Xu and Luo Yu are both very skilled dim sum chefs.
Meng Shitong and the others had also witnessed Luo Yu's Western pastry making, especially Meng Shitong, He Yaqian and Jasmine, who admired her very much.
Chen Xu’s strength lies in the fact that he can use both hands to pinch the seafood shrimp dumplings in the appetizer.
Placing two dumpling skins with stuffing on them in his palms, Chen Xu cupped his hands and quickly pinched the two dumplings at the same time with his fingers.
Seeing Chen Xu making shrimp dumplings also amazed Meng Shitong and the others.
Facing this group of people in the kitchen who were all refusing, He Yaqian couldn't help but mutter, "With so many experts, how did Chef Feng recruit a restaurant?"
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became really ambiguous.
Feng Yifan said: "That's because they can't compare to me."
After hearing this, everyone could only nod in agreement.
Now that the restaurant is open for business, Meng Shitong and the others are naturally very much looking forward to seeing such a group of chefs starting to prepare food for diners.
Meng Shitong and He Yaqian also specifically assigned tasks.
Among them, A Fei was in charge of Catherine, and his main task was to capture Catherine's control of the heat.
Abin assisted in the filming, capturing some details that Afei was unable to capture.
Jasmine was responsible for including other people in the filming, which also made it easier for later editing.
Of course, this is because the protagonist today is Catherine. Meng Shitong and others will come again in the next few days to take pictures of other people in the restaurant one by one.
With today's filming, if I come again in the next few days, I will probably come during the evening business hours.
After welcoming the guests in, Feng Yifan and his team encountered a problem today.
That is, one of the booked guests did not show up.
The other party specifically booked a table and paid a deposit for the entire table.
Su Liancheng called the number the other party left, but the other party did not answer the call.
This situation is rather embarrassing because someone booked a seat but did not show up and did not cancel the seat, so Feng Yifan and his friends had to wait.
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and decided directly: "Let's start serving the other guests first."
So, everyone started serving food to other guests one after another.
Shi Jiahui asked softly, "Who is the other party? Did he make a reservation on purpose and not come? Do we have to wait forever?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, we have to wait until midnight."
This is also the rule of some restaurants with reservation services. Since the other party has booked a table for tonight, you must reserve it until today.
In short, Feng Yifan and the others had to wait for each other before midnight.
Feng Yifan smiled and said to Shi Jiahui, "Big Sister, it's okay. I'll tell my family later and let my mom take Ruoruo to sleep tonight. Then I'll wait in the restaurant. Big Sister, you can go back and rest first."
Shi Jiahui smiled bitterly and said, "How can I go back when you, the head chef, have stayed here to wait?"
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "It's okay, Senior Sister, go back and have a rest. You need to arrange the opening of Su Ji tomorrow."
Shi Jiahui then remembered that she had to start preparing for the opening of Su Ji tomorrow.
Because there are only three days left until the National Day, Su Ji must be arranged in the next three days.
At the same time, in the next three days, we also need to start purchasing the various ingredients needed by Su Ji.
Shi Jiahui felt a little helpless when she thought of this: "Really? At this time, with such an unexpected situation, you will be even busier in the next three days."
Feng Yifan smiled confidently: "It doesn't matter, don't we still have you, Senior Sister, and my dad to help us?"
Shi Jiahui looked at Feng Yifan's smiling face and couldn't help but admire him: "You are amazing. You can still smile at a time like this."
As Feng Yifan prepared the dishes, he said, "At all times, we must keep smiling and believe in ourselves. We all believe that we can do it. The opening of Su Ji will be as successful as the Ruo restaurant."
After listening to Feng Yifan's words, Shi Jiahui nodded and said, "Okay, you are the chef, as long as you have confidence, we will have a backbone."
In the following time, everyone in the restaurant was as busy as usual.
In fact, everyone does these tasks every day, but it is not easy to repeat them every day and keep doing them well.
Just because there is a serious chef like Feng Yifan present, everyone will naturally be very attentive.
Even the two interns were infected by the busy atmosphere in the restaurant.
Not only are they very serious, but they are also very cautious.
We have to mention Su Liancheng's ability here. He was able to get two interns up to speed in a short period of time, and both of them did a good job. This was a little beyond everyone's expectations, and Feng Yifan did not expect it either.
Every time an intern returned, Su Liancheng would be there to give some guidance.
For example, how to introduce the menu to customers and how to serve the food to them.
What posture should you maintain and what tone should you use when talking to guests.
Su Liancheng is indeed very capable as he is able to complete his own tasks while guiding two interns at the same time.
Under Su Liancheng's coordination, Feng Yifan felt very at ease about receiving guests.
As the main dishes were served one after another, the first round of praise from the guests began.
“Wow, this dish is really delicious.”
"The previous dishes didn't take away from the deliciousness of this dish at all."
"So tender! This fish is really tender and juicy."
"Yes, especially with this crispy crust and this hazelnut butter, it's delicious, right?"
"I still think this beef is delicious. It looks like it's not cooked yet, but it doesn't lack the chewy texture of beef, and it's not dry at all. It's delicious."
…
After the first round of praise, the following dishes also satisfied the guests.
The second round of praise came when the dessert was served.
“So beautiful.”
“This is really beautiful.”
"It smells good, it's the smell of chestnuts."
"Yes, a strong chestnut aroma."
“This is really delicious.”
"Wow, I like this dessert. I, I really want to have another one."
"Waiter, I'd like to ask, can I order a takeaway of this dessert?"
Seeing someone raise their hand to ask, the female intern went over immediately before Su Liancheng went over. After hearing the other person's question, she said very quietly, "Please wait a moment. I'll ask the chef and pastry chef for you."
The female intern kept Su Liancheng's instructions in mind and leaned closer to the customer when he spoke.
Then you will speak more quietly, but you will make your words clear in the other person's ear.
In this way, other guests will not be disturbed and at the same time, we can communicate with the guests very well.
The guest nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, thank you."
When the female intern heard the guest say "thank you", she felt that she had been affirmed and continued to respond in a low voice: "You're welcome. Please wait a moment."
Then the female intern quickly walked to the kitchen counter, raised her hand and asked the customer's question.
"Chef, the customer would like to ask if he can order a dessert to take away?"
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, take the dessert menu over and let the customer choose. After the customer places the order, tell him that he can take it with him when he leaves."
This was the first time the female intern spoke to Feng Yifan, and she felt very excited.
But she still remembered her duties and responded, "Yes, chef."
Then she suppressed her excitement, turned around and held the menu to communicate with the customer.
Soon the customer selected a dessert and placed the order with the female intern.
This could be considered the female intern’s first day of internship. It was the first time she received an order from a customer. She really felt that she was very lucky.
Feng Yifan saw the female intern's performance, nodded secretly, and turned to communicate with Shi Jiahui and Catherine.
"How is it? Do you think this girl is okay?"
Shi Jiahui nodded and said, "Yes, she is very attentive. She remembers everything Su Liancheng taught her carefully and knows how to apply it flexibly when applying it."
Catherine said directly: "Chef, I think she can be retained. I hope she can continue to come to work tomorrow. I think she is just like me before. She has a deep love for food, which is why she works so hard."
Feng Yifan laughed when he heard this: "Why? You want to accept this disciple?"
Catherine quickly waved her hands: "I can't, Chef, I'm not qualified to accept an apprentice."
Feng Yifan smiled: "Don't underestimate yourself, you are already very good. You can actually cook the main dish now, but you still lack some fame. After Meng Shitong and others help you promote it, you will definitely succeed."
Seeing that Catherine was still a little hesitant, Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "If you don't accept this apprentice, then I will."
Catherine quickly said, "Big Sister, I want it, but I still need to observe and test it."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, but don't make it too hard on the girl."
Catherine nodded and agreed.
Shi Jiahui smiled evilly and reminded: "You must make a decision as soon as possible."
The conversation between the three people in the kitchen was not noticed by others. After all, everyone was busy, and the three people did not communicate very obviously. It seemed more like they were discussing how to prepare the dishes.
After the customer selected their dessert, the female intern immediately came over to reply.
"Chef, the guest has ordered dessert."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Well, remember to remind the guests when they leave."
As time passed, Feng Ruoruo, who had finished dance class and had dinner, came to the restaurant.
When the little girl arrived, she naturally added a bit of joy to the entire restaurant.
After Feng Ruoruo entered the door, she quickly discovered that there were two more people in the restaurant.
The strange uncle and sister were wearing restaurant aprons.
After Feng Ruoruo took a careful look, she went to the dining table in front of the kitchen and asked, "Dad, why are there two more people? Who are they?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied to his daughter: "They are two interns."
Feng Ruoruo asked again: "What is an intern?"
Feng Yifan continued to explain: "Interns come here to work first, but they are not formal employees of the restaurant. They need to pass the assessment before they can stay in our restaurant."
After hearing this, the little girl thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Dad, can Ruoruo test them?"
Shi Jiahui smiled and asked, "Ruoruo, what do you want to test me on?"
Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "Oh, Aunt Jiahui, Ruoruo doesn't seem to know what to take the test on."
When the little girl said this, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Feng Yifan said to his daughter, "Okay, come in from the back quickly, wash your hands, change your clothes, and then come out. If you don't start greeting the guests, all the guests in the restaurant will leave."
At this time, some guests had already left, and naturally they all praised the dishes before leaving.
Feng Ruoruo looked around and saw that there was indeed an empty seat in the restaurant, so the girl hurried in to change her clothes and wash her hands.
When Feng Ruoruo went in to wash her hands and change her clothes, more guests began to leave, including some who had ordered dessert.
The female intern also hurried over to remind the other party, and personally handed the dessert in the box to the other party. She also sent the other party out of the restaurant according to Su Liancheng's instructions.
Feng Yifan and others saw all this and were quite satisfied with this female intern.
