Chapter 394： Su Kee Prospects

"Hardcore Chef Dad (

It is obvious that Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin have different ideas about the development of Su Ji.

Chen Wei agreed with Feng Yifan's proposal to his father-in-law Su Jinrong that instead of making Su Ji bigger, he insisted on the business route of a boutique private kitchen with its own characteristics.

However, Shi Jinbin had a different idea. He believed that Feng Yifan should take advantage of his youth, go out more, go to some big hotels to experience, step by step to gain a higher reputation.

Obviously, Shi Jinbin's thinking is the path he himself took at the beginning, and it was also the path taken by the old man Su Quansheng.

Shi Jinbin even said directly in front of everyone: "As long as Yifan is willing, I can take him into the Red Maple Hotel."

Entering the Red Maple Hotel, that is completely different.

In the domestic culinary world, the status of the Red Maple Hotel is absolutely extraordinary.

I don't know how many well-known chefs from all over the world are even willing to enter the Red Maple Hotel as an apprentice, just to get a chance in the Red Maple Hotel.

There is even a rumor in the culinary circles that entering the Red Maple Hotel is equivalent to a state banquet reserve.

In fact, it is true, except for the first state banquet and the state banquet that Su Quansheng participated in.

In recent years, the chef teams of various domestic state banquets have been selected from the Red Maple Hotel.

Even in the previous year, international conferences were held in China, which needed to receive politicians from various countries, and the catering was completely handled by the top chefs of the Red Maple Hotel.

This is because the Red Maple Hotel has too many state banquet masters.

On the other hand, it is also because the back chef team of the Red Maple Hotel is indeed very powerful.

Therefore, Shi Jinbin said very directly: "As long as Yifan is willing, I will go back with me this time. I can let him enter the Red Maple Hotel, and I don't need to help the kitchen from the bottom."

Hearing Shi Jinbin's words, Zhuang Daozhong couldn't help but smile and said, "Jin Bin, I never thought that someone like you would make an exception for Jin Rong's son-in-law?"

Shi Jinbin was very calm. Faced with Zhuang Daozhong, he said, "Uncle Shi, you should be very clear that Yifan has that strength. He has mastered the essence of Su Ji's various dishes, and he also has expertise in various domestic cuisines. Research, even western food."

Zhuang Daozhong nodded when he heard: "This is not wrong. Yifan is the more versatile chef I have seen so far."

In fact, everyone agrees on this point, and it may seem to these elders.

Feng Yifan may not be able to compare to some cooks who specialize in the same, but he can do everything, which shows that his comprehensive strength is very strong.

In the kitchen business, everyone knows that a certain specialization can never become a master.

Anyone who can be called a master chef is the kind of chef who can truly be very versatile.

Just like the old man of Su Ji, Su Quansheng.

Perhaps many people think that Su Quansheng is a Huaiyang cuisine chef because he is from Huaicheng.

But in fact, in addition to Huaiyang cuisine, Su Quansheng also has a deep research in other domestic cuisines, so he can stand out from so many masters of state banquets.

Later, he became the head chef of the state banquet and was able to customize the menu for different banquets of the state banquet.

This is not simply a specialization of a certain cuisine, but to understand the cooking techniques of various cuisines at home and abroad.

Only when needed can we arrange different menus at the state banquet.

In Su Jinrong's generation, including Shi Jinbin who entered the Red Maple Hotel, they still prefer to specialize in a certain cuisine, and they are not completely able to easily control all kinds of dishes.

So Shi Jinbin liked Feng Yifan's point very much. He wanted to help his master's Su Ji and cultivate a master chef.

Shi Jinbin said to Su Jinrong earnestly: "Jin Rong, there are really some opportunities to seize. You gave up the opportunity at the beginning, I understand it, but now, you shouldn't want your son-in-law to give up the opportunity again?"

Chen Wei said at this time: "Lao Shi, you should know that if Yifan goes to the Red Maple Hotel, he may at least stay in it for many years. Then, what will Su Ji do during this time?"

This question stopped Shi Jinbin.

Su Ji is now supported by Feng Yifan.

And from the current business, Feng Yifan really has the ability to make Su Ji's business better.

If Feng Yifan left Su Ji and went to the Red Maple Hotel, he would have to stay at the Red Maple Hotel for many years.

Because even with Shi Jinbin’s recommendation, a large hotel like the Red Maple Hotel must be based on seniority. It is impossible for Feng Yifan to get a high chance in a short period of time.

So Feng Yifan spent ten years in the Red Maple Hotel, and then participated in one or two state banquets.

So for such a long time, couldn't Su Ji only really have to close the door?

The old man Su Quansheng, indeed, went northward in this way, and he did achieve his own reputation, which in turn made Su Ji famous in Jiangsu Province.

But when the state banquet brought the halo gradually receded, Su Ji would gradually return to a normal one.

In the end, Su Ji will become what it is today, only a small restaurant with heritage in Huaicheng. Even if it weren't for Feng Yifan to take another shot, maybe Su Ji didn't even know many people in Huaicheng.

Chen Wei pointed out this question directly: "If that is the case, wait for Yifan to become truly famous, and then come back to run Su Ji. In fact, Su Ji may have lost its due value, and may even be the same as the master back then. If he is gone, Su Ji will lose his reputation again."

After saying this, Chen Wei looked at Su Jinrong and said: "Jinrong, I am not saying that you did something wrong. In fact, you are not the problem of Su Ji's decadence. It was caused by our brothers leaving that year."

Su Jinrong didn't care, because he knew what Chen Wei meant.

Speaking of Su Ji, he has a heritage of hundreds of years, but the real popularity is only his father's generation. It can even be said that Su Ji is famous because of his father's fame.

Chen Wei did not want Su Ji to be responsible again, so he felt that Su Ji should be managed well and the inheritance should be preserved.

"Many time-honored brands in the country may eventually go slowly to obliterate sentient beings, or even be gradually forgotten by people, and eventually they can only withdraw from the stage of history.

In fact, there is such a problem. A very well-known existence appeared in a certain generation, through his reputation to promote the old brand, but once he passes away, the following old brand may not be able to maintain that reputation, more of this Or because of business problems. "

Chen Wei looked at the uncle and the two younger brothers present, and said directly: "I think we should stick to the characteristics of Su Ji and make the signature of Su Ji so that others can know Su Ji. I think this is also the case. The kind of result that Master hopes to see for so many years."

After hearing Chen Wei's words, Su Jinrong's expression also became a little excited. He didn't expect that the big brother would understand his father's mind so much.

When he was sending his father away and in front of the hospital bed, Su Jinrong heard his father's instructions with his own ears.

At that time, his father's command to Su Jinrong was to keep Su Ji and let Su Ji's inheritance continue.

It was also because of his father's instructions that Su Jinrong did not leave Su Ji afterwards.

Although Su Jinrong failed to promote Su Ji and did not make Su Ji more famous, at least Su Jinrong still defended Su Ji, and he did not insult the old plaque.

After hearing Chen Wei's words, Shi Jinbin still did not agree with him.

"According to what you said, simply operating Su Kee, I think it will not only waste Yifan's talent, but it will also take a long time to actually operate Su Kee."

Speaking of this, Shi Jinbin paused, thought about it or said: "Moreover, in the end, the Su Ji that is managed will become a brand in other people's hands, because when Yifan gets old, he will still face the current dilemma. How to continue to maintain Su Kee's operations?"

Chen Wei answered with a serious face: "It's very simple, accept disciples, lead disciples, and let the disciples continue to stick to and pass on the old plaque of Su Ji."

Shi Jinbin was a little surprised and asked: "In that case, wouldn't Su Ji still fall into the hands of others?"

Chen Wei shook his head and said, "Junior Brother, why are you still confined to this kind of prejudice of the portal family?"

Without waiting for Shi Jinbin to speak, Chen Wei then asked, "I ask you, is the Tan family cooking Tan Jiacai now?"

When asked this way, Shi Jinbin was speechless.

Chen Wei looked at Su Jinrong again: "Jinrong, I am not saying that Su Ji must be left behind by others. I don't think I really need to care about any family opinion. As long as the essence of Su Ji can be passed on, then it can be called It is Su Ji cuisine, and the future Su Ji will still be the current Su Ji.

This is also the advantage of operating a private kitchen restaurant, that is, we are specializing in Su Kee's cuisine, not belonging to any cuisine or other factions, just unique to Su Kee. "

Chen Wei's remarks moved Su Jinrong very much, and he had similar thoughts after this period of time.

Especially after his son-in-law Feng Yifan came back, he also talked to Su Jinrong about a similar plan.

Su Jinrong still agrees with this plan.

Because of this, the uniqueness of Su Ji cuisine can be better maintained, and Su Ji’s reputation can be truly beaten out, rather than just making a certain generation of Su Ji famous.

When Shi Jinbin saw Su Jinrong's appearance, he had already seen that he should be more in favor of such a plan.

Zhuang Daozhong, who had never spoken at this time, said: "In fact, both Chen Wei and Jin Bin's plans are feasible, but I think they can be combined."

The three senior brothers all looked at Master Uncle together, wanting to hear how Uncle Master's so-called synthesis is?

Zhuang Daozhong continued: "Yifan is still young now. Some things still need to be seen. You don't need to enter the Red Maple Hotel, but you can participate in some dish promotion to increase your popularity."

After a pause, Zhuang Daozhong said again: "I also agree with Yifan’s plan for Su Ji’s business. It focuses on private kitchens and makes fine dishes, which belong exclusively to Su Ji. You don’t need to make Su Ji a big restaurant. To maintain this exquisiteness, Su Ji should be able to develop better."

After listening to Master Shi, Shi Jinbin thought for a while and said, "Master, you said that participating in some dish promotion, do you want Yifan to participate in this Chinese cuisine cooking competition?"

Zhuang Daozhong shook his head: "No, Yifan doesn't need to participate in the competition. Yifan's strength is a bit bullying others. I think this time Chinese cuisine is an opportunity. I think Yifan should restore a piece that belongs exclusively to Su Ji. The banquet menu represents Su Ji to participate in the Chinese cuisine menu competition."

These words made Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin both stunned, and even an incredible expression appeared on their faces.

Because of the two brothers, I have never heard that Su Ji has his own banquet menu.

So, is it really strange to Master Uncle's resumption of the banquet menu?

Zhuang Daozhong saw that the two of them were very strange, and looked at Su Jinrong who was aside. After Su Jinrong nodded in agreement, he said the existence of "Su Zao Yan".

Chen Wei and Shi Jinbin were really even more surprised after hearing the introduction of Shishu.

Su Zaoyan, these two people really heard of it for the first time.

Shi Jinbin looked at Su Jinrong and asked, "Does Su Ji really have such a banquet?"

Su Jinrong nodded: "Yes, there used to be, now, only the menu name, no, the recipe."

Chen Wei looked a little ugly and said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that it is not so easy to recover from the banquet Zhuang Daozhong nodded: "It is indeed not easy, but fortunately there is still plenty of time. The selection of Chinese cuisine banquet requires at least one year of individual selection, and it may take longer to finalize. "

Shi Jinbin thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, then Yifan still has plenty of time."

Chen Wei is still a little worried: "But even so, it doesn't seem to be easy to restore a name-only banquet?"

Shi Jinbin also nodded his head with embarrassment.

Zhuang Daozhong said: "Don't be discouraged, I actually found some relevant information, otherwise I won't come to Jinrong to mention this, but the rest may still need to be studied."

Shi Jinbin thought about it for a while and said, "Recovery will definitely make Su Ji famous."

Chen Wei also said: "Yes, and even if it is not selected in the Chinese cuisine menu, as long as you participate in the selection, you can later become the flagship of Su Ji and become the signature of Su Ji."

Shi Jinbin said to Su Jinrong: "Jinrong, don't worry, I will definitely help you with Yifan."

Chen Wei also said: "Well, I will also help. Let's work hard together."

Su Jinrong heard the promise of the two seniors and smiled: "Well, thank you, seniors."

Zhuang Daozhong was very pleased to see this scene.

Looking up at Su Quansheng's portrait, Zhuang Daozhong thought to himself: Brother, this should be the sight you would like to see the most, right? I believe these disciples of yours will make Su Ji better.

After some discussions, several elderly people have reached a relatively unified idea.

The boutique business model of Su Ji Smuggling Kitchen Xiaoguan was then to restore the "Su Zou Banquet", so that Su Ji's real reputation would be greatly boosted, and Su Ji's real reputation would be truly known in the world.
