After having Li Feier bring people from the provincial TV station to take the final photos, Feng Yifan went to wash his face to get rid of all the makeup.
The makeup artist felt a little regretful when he saw Feng Yifan wash off all his makeup.
"Oh, Chef Feng, isn't it a pity that you washed it like this?"
After saying this, the makeup artist discovered that everyone else in the kitchen had also washed off their makeup one by one.
Luo Yu explained with a smile: "It's really not suitable to stay in the kitchen with makeup on. Even though we have air conditioning here, the temperature in the kitchen is still very high. If your makeup is left in the kitchen and is steamed by sweat, we won't be able to show our faces to others."
After listening to Luo Yu's explanation, the makeup artist also understood.
"Oh, I'm really sorry for delaying your work."
Feng Yifan said, "It's okay. Since even the uncle-master has spoken, we chefs still have to respect our elders. We will definitely complete it according to your requirements. However, we will be busy in the next period of time and cannot greet you."
Li Feier quickly said, "It's okay, Chef Feng, you don't have to be polite. I've actually troubled you a lot today."
Other people at the TV station also expressed their gratitude to Feng Yifan and his team one by one.
Zhuang Daozhong smiled and said, "Alas, it was really me, an old guy, who brought a little trouble to Su Ji today. I'm really sorry to Yifan."
Feng Yifan smiled and responded: "Master uncle, your words are really too serious."
Su Jinrong also smiled and said, "Hahaha, Uncle Master, you have given us Su Ji a great opportunity today. We should be the ones thanking you. How can we blame you for causing us trouble? It's just that we are a little short on time to prepare the ingredients."
Zhuang Daozhong said: "You two, the father-in-law and son-in-law, are really too polite."
Without waiting for Su Jinrong and Feng Yifan, the father-in-law and son-in-law, to speak.
Zhuang Daozhong continued, "In fact, the reason why we came to your Su Ji restaurant to shoot is that Su Ji does have the strength, especially Yifan, who is worthy of being filmed here. You can represent the top cooking strength of the entire Su Province.
On the other hand, I have recently seen some slander on the Internet against your Su Ji, especially the Ruo restaurant next to Yifan. I think it is time to let some people know that there are restaurants in our country that are not inferior to those three-star restaurants, or even better than those three-star restaurants.
Our domestic restaurants cook dishes according to our own eating habits, so our own restaurants are the ones that understand us best and are most suitable for us.”
Hearing Zhuang Daozhong's words, everyone present instantly stood in awe.
Especially Li Feier and the people from the provincial TV station, they really felt that the old man’s words were deafening.
Nowadays, many people are pursuing Western food and flocking to star-rated restaurants.
Everyone seems to have overlooked the taste of the restaurants that grew up on the land that nurtured them.
Perhaps this has something to do with the changes in the operations of some restaurants, or some chefs no longer sticking with their jobs in order to make money.
Zhuang Daozhong brought Li Feier and others to Su Ji in order to use Su Ji to tell the public in China.
While some restaurants may have changed, some chefs may no longer stick to tradition.
But Su Ji still exists, and there are still a group of chefs like Feng Yifan who will always stick to tradition and insist on making our own flavor.
Feng Yifan smiled and said to everyone in the kitchen: "Everyone cheer up. Do you know why my uncle-in-law doesn't recommend us when there are many better restaurants and better state banquet chefs, but comes to Su Ji to promote us?"
When the group of people heard this, they looked at each other in confusion. It was obvious that no one understood why.
Feng Yifan put away the smile on his face and explained very seriously.
"That's because, for ordinary people, state banquet chefs or those top state banquet restaurants may be relatively far away from ordinary people, and they may not even dare to think about going there to eat.
But our Su Ji is a place very close to them, and it is a restaurant that everyone can come to eat.
Therefore, we have the responsibility to let everyone taste our own flavor, do you understand? "
These words suddenly enlightened everyone in Su's kitchen, and a glimmer of fighting spirit was ignited in their hearts.
At the same time, Li Feier and the others were also a little surprised.
Before coming, they had not thought that there was such a purpose behind this.
Zhuang Daozhong smiled with satisfaction and said to Su Jinrong, "Jinrong, Yifan is really great. He actually understood my intention."
Su Jinrong said: "Uncle Master, I really appreciate your trust in us."
Zhuang Daozhong said: "You fought for it yourself, and Yifan's cooking skills convinced me."
At this point, the chefs in Su Ji said in unison, "Understood, Chef."
Feng Yifan continued: "Okay, let's get started."
Everyone responded in unison again: "It's the chef."
Next, Su Ji’s kitchen officially began to get busy.
Everyone who came with Li Feier was very surprised to see Feng Yifan and his people busy in the kitchen.
"Wow, so this is the real process of preparing ingredients in the kitchen?"
"It seems that those previous ones were really just staged photos."
"Really? Now Chef Feng and the others are really getting into the groove. They are all so amazing."
“Just watching the process of processing these ingredients, I feel like I can make a great movie.”
Zhuang Daozhong said: "This is the most real side of the kitchen. The ones you took before were intentional by Yifan and his team so that you can take better photos and be more photogenic. But how can the real kitchen be so beautiful?"
The people at the provincial television station all nodded, understanding that Zhuang Daozhong was right.
Feng Yifan and his friends acted as if no one was around. Even when they were surrounded by a group of people, they continued to do their job in an orderly manner.
How to wash and prepare some vegetables, how to pre-process some meats.
Including various scenes of killing fish, all were presented.
Zhuang Daozhong and Su Jinrong were giving some explanations to Li Feier and the others.
"Watch carefully, Feng Yifan's method of killing fish must be very accurate, and he must not damage the integrity of the fish."
"Pay attention to the meat processing, which ones are cut into strips, which ones are just cut into slices, including the leftovers. In fact, if you look carefully, you will notice that Feng Yifan and his team will keep the leftovers because they are also useful."
It has to be said that after the explanation by Zhuang Daozhong and Su Jinrong, Li Feier and others were also greatly enlightened.
Although this may not be the first time for everyone to take photos of a restaurant kitchen, it is definitely the first time for everyone to witness such an orderly and busy scene in the kitchen.
Feng Yifan is not only busy himself, but also directing everyone in the kitchen.
Who needs to do what
And coordination will be carried out from time to time.
Make sure there is someone in every position and everyone can take on any part of the work in the kitchen.
The kitchen is really well coordinated, ensuring everything is in order.
Gradually, the entire Su Ji became quiet. Li Feier and the others stopped talking and everyone was watching the busy sounds in the kitchen.
Listening to the sounds in the kitchen, when they come together at this moment, it seems as if they have composed a beautiful piece of music.
Even people who don’t know how to cook can still experience the romance of the kitchen at this moment.
The restaurant's kitchen is not only responsible for the cooking process of each dish, but also for the various preparations before cooking.
Only with sufficient preparation can you cook a variety of delicious dishes in one go.
Therefore, every step before cooking is important and indispensable.
After Li Fei'er and the others watched for a long time and everything in the kitchen was almost ready, Su Liancheng took the waiters to tidy up the restaurant and then officially opened the door of Su Ji.
When the main door of Su Ji opened, the people from the provincial TV station discovered that there were already quite a few people waiting outside the door.
Someone next to Li Feier whispered, "There have been a lot of rumors about Su Ji online recently, many of which are very unfavorable to Chef Feng. I didn't expect that there would be so many people at Su Ji at noon?"
Li Feier smiled and said, "Of course, for the locals, coming to Su Ji to eat a bowl of noodles at noon is essential, especially for some elderly people. If they don't have Su Ji noodles to eat with wine at noon, the meal will be tasteless."
Zhuang Daozhong, who was listening nearby, said: "This is the so-called taste of life."
Su Liancheng led the waiters to guide the diners waiting at the door and asked them to line up. Everyone was quite understanding and lined up.
The people outside the door were chatting while waiting.
As soon as the food in the kitchen was ready, Feng Yifan asked the diners to come in.
Zhuang Daozhong added: "For locals, the taste of life is not in the high-end dishes in those high-end restaurants, but in a bowl of noodles and a dish of toppings at Su Ji. Eating noodles at Su Ji is part of their life."
Li Feier and the others probably still understood it.
Maybe Feng Yifan and Su Ji are facing some criticism, but for the locals, especially those living near the ancient street, it will not affect their lives at all, so they still come to Su Ji as usual and have a bowl of noodles for lunch.
As for the restaurant’s location, restaurant decoration, and various brands of tableware in the restaurant.
Those things are completely meaningless to diners.
If Su Ji’s noodles with toppings weren’t delicious, no matter how good the decoration was or how high-end the brand of tableware was, it wouldn’t attract people to come and eat there every day.
Su Jinrong suddenly said: "Nowadays, I heard that many so-called Internet celebrity restaurants seem to hire a lot of people to queue up every day in order to create a very popular appearance, and then attract a lot of people to queue up to eat.
But perhaps those who are attracted to it without understanding it, after eating it once, will never go there again for the second time.
So often, perhaps only your own tongue will not deceive yourself."
Zhuang Daozhong said: "Yes, the only thing that can really determine whether the taste is good or not is probably time."
Li Feier and others were a little surprised: "Why time?"
Su Jinrong explained: "Because it takes time to cook delicious dishes, and whether a dish is really delicious also takes time to test."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly understood.
As more and more people began to arrive outside the door.
Li Feier and the others also walked out of the restaurant together.
After all, there are a lot of them. If they keep standing in Su Ji, they will take up too much space and may affect future business.
When Yang Xiaoxi saw her mother walk out of the restaurant, she hurriedly followed Feng Ruoruo and Chen Yaofei.
After leaving the restaurant, Yang Xiaoxi ran to her mother and said, "Mom, are you leaving?"
Li Feier saw that her daughter's face was full of reluctance, and even tears were beginning to appear in her big eyes.
She said to her daughter in a gentle voice, "Mom won't leave, but there are so many of us in your father Feng's restaurant, it will affect the business, so we will stand outside for a while to let the guests go in to eat."
Hearing that her mother was not leaving, Yang Xiaoxi immediately became happy.
The little girl turned around and said to her sisters, "Ruoruo, Feifei, my mother won't leave."
Feng Ruoruo and Chen Yaofei were also happy for Yang Xiaoxi.
Feng Ruoruo didn't forget to ask: "Aunt Li, you're not going to leave? Can you stay with Xixi?"
Li Feier smiled and said, "I'm not leaving for now. I need to take pictures of Ruoruo's father's restaurant. After everything is done, Aunt Li may still have to leave. When Aunt Li is not here, Ruoruo and Feifei can help me take care of Xixi, okay?"
Feng Ruoruo and Chen Yaofei nodded and agreed: "Okay."
Yang Xiaoxi said: "Mom, I will also take care of Ruoruo and Feifei."
Li Feier smiled and said, "Okay, you three are all good kids. You three should take care of each other when the time comes. You must have fun."
The three little girls held hands and nodded happily in agreement.
At this time, Su Ji finally opened for business, and the first batch of customers walked into the restaurant one after another.
Seeing the diners coming in, Li Feier said to the photographer, "Quick, take a picture of this entrance. We need to help Chef Feng clear his name and let those people on the Internet know that Chef Feng has never lacked supporters and Su Ji's business has always been good."
The photographer quickly raised his camera and captured the scene of diners pouring into Su Ji.
Of course, Meng Shitong and the others also took pictures of all of this together.
In fact, after seeing the slanderous comments about Feng Yifan and his two restaurants on the Internet, Meng Shitong and others had already started taking action.
It’s just that they are more mobilizing fans who support Feng Yifan to let everyone make various explanations together.
Meng Shitong and the others also understood that if they wanted to truly reverse the situation, they still needed an authoritative figure to step forward.
With Zhuang Daozhong here today, Meng Shitong and the others understood that Chef Feng’s counterattack should begin.
When the first batch of diners came in and sat down, Li Feier said, "Okay, now is the time for us to come forward. We still need to insert some interviews into this program so that it will be more realistic."
Afterwards, Li Feier also led the provincial TV station and Meng Shitong's teams to enter Su Ji again.
Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei turned into three little tails and followed Li Feier and the others quietly.
