gourmet food

Chapter 820 Dilemma
Princess Silena decided on the meal for her birthday party. The members of the inspection team had just reached a consensus and now they all nodded tacitly.

Although Zhalun and Songpa were still a little unwilling, they had nothing to say about the quality of the Sichuan food and the princess's "care" for them.

Especially when it comes to respecting her own opinions, Princess Silena has gone to the extreme and is not the kind of person who is arbitrary and directly relies on her own will.

Instead, you can make yourself aware of your mistakes at work by presenting facts and reasoning. At the same time, you can be grateful but also have a hint of awe. Only by this method can people be convinced.

But Boss Chu on the other side seemed to be hesitant. What was going on?
Mu Qing was also very excited when she heard the news. Yu Lili and Zhang Xinran were also happy for them. This is a great opportunity to improve the competitiveness of the industry.

However, before she was happy for 5 seconds, Princess Sirena added: "In this menu, I want to use all dishes from the boutique, and also add Wensi tofu, three sets of duck, and Pingqiao tofu. Four dishes from Crossing the Bridge with the General.”

Chu Yunfeng was originally prepared to agree immediately, but when he heard this condition, he became a little uneasy.

There is nothing wrong with the dishes in the boutique. Only if they are all traditional Sichuan cuisine can the extraordinary quality of Sichuan cuisine be better reflected.

But these four dishes are Huaiyang dishes, and they are classic Huaiyang dishes. Although I can cook them, this time I represent Sichuan cuisine. What's the deal with a few Huaiyang dishes at the banquet?
"Princess, although I can cook these four dishes, they are not within the scope of the Sichuan cuisine system, which makes me a little embarrassed."

Chu Yunfeng did not speak too directly, but Princess Silena understood the meaning of Chu Yunfeng's words, which also made her frown slightly.

It seems that they want to vigorously promote Sichuan cuisine, which is understandable. After all, if you create such a birthday banquet, you can't get away with vigorous promotion, so the influence will naturally be different.

But I have my own reasons for choosing these four dishes, which involve some unavoidable reasons. Firstly, after I tasted Wensi Tofu and Three Sets of Duck, I also like their taste very much.

Secondly, it is also to reveal a message to the outside world. I also care about the hard work of the inspection team. This Huaiyang cuisine is actually very good.

Just because Chu Yunfeng didn't know Cantonese dishes, if he knew one, he would ask to cook it at the banquet.

Even though she is a princess and her status seems to be very respected, in fact, she often has no control over her and does not do things as she pleases.

"I really like these four dishes. I really want them to appear at my birthday party. Can Boss Chu please reconsider?"

Princess Silena asked her with some solemnity, which surprised Chu Yunfeng. It seemed that this was very important to her, but it also made it difficult for herself?

Although I felt a little depressed in my heart, it was as if I was enjoying a meal and suddenly a fish bone got stuck in my throat. It didn't matter if I ate or not, it just felt so uncomfortable.

However, if I am depressed, I feel uncomfortable, and I need to solve the problem. Otherwise, the banquet will be nondescript, which will put me in a dilemma.

Mu Qing also understood Chu Yunfeng's worries, and she also thought of the key point. Judging from Princess Silena's attitude, if she did not agree to her request, then the matter might not be successful.

So I am also nervously thinking about how to deal with and solve this matter.

Chu Yunfeng's brain was also working at full speed. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he caught the key words of the princess's words just now.

"Appear!"

It depends on how you understand this word. If it just appears, then you have a way to operate it?
So Chu Yunfeng raised his head slightly, smiled slightly and asked: "I would like to ask, these four dishes are your favorites, princess. Do you have to eat these four dishes at the banquet, right? "

Princess Silina didn't hear any ambiguity in Chu Yunfeng's words, so she nodded and said: "Yes, although I have only tasted two of these four dishes, for the other two, I believe you can make them." The taste will definitely not be bad.

And at the birthday banquet that day, I really want to taste these four dishes, please. "

Seeing the princess being so persistent, Songpa seemed to understand something. Even Zhalun reacted, respecting the princess even more, and understood what the princess meant.

That is the recognition of one's work. Although there are some mistakes, it also lets everyone know that it is not that I did not do a good job, but that the princess prefers Sichuan food.

As for why there is no Cantonese food, it is just because the first-class chef cannot cook it, but this also reveals a message to the outside world, that is, the princess is very close to the people and values ​​her subordinates very much.

After hearing the princess's answer, Chu Yunfeng nodded. Although he didn't quite understand why she was so insistent, his idea of ​​a sideline should be feasible.

After looking at each other with Mu Qing, Chu Yunfeng said: "Do you think this is okay? Since these four dishes are what the princess wants to taste, just put them on the main table. , is this okay?

In this way, you can show the difference of the main table and at the same time allow you to taste these four dishes. Do you think this plan is feasible? "

Chu Yunfeng's words made Mu Qing almost want to rush over and give him a kiss. This was definitely a very good compromise. It depends on whether Princess Silena agrees or not.

Hmm~?

Can you still play like this?
Princess Silena did not think of this aspect. If these four dishes were only placed on the main table, then they would be more obvious, which would be more beneficial to herself.

I explained that I attach great importance to it, and only the main table will attract everyone's attention. As long as I reveal a little bit the difference between these four dishes, the effect will be even better.

When she thought of this, Princess Silena was very satisfied with Chu Yunfeng's plan. She stood up with a bright smile and said: "Then it's settled, I'll leave my birthday party to you."

Chu Yunfeng and Mu Qing also stood up and shook hands with the princess one by one to settle the matter, while two professional videographers on the side also recorded the scene.

"Great, thank you princess for choosing our Sichuan cuisine. So when will the menu be finalized? We need to prepare the ingredients in advance. In order to ensure the quality of the dishes, all the ingredients are purchased from here and flown over.

By the way, there is one thing that needs to be determined in advance, that is, how many tables are needed for this birthday party?If you can't be sure now, it's okay to give us a rough number.

After all, the number of tables directly affects the bulk purchase of ingredients, so preparations need to be made in advance. "

There should be no sloppiness in this matter, especially if several tables of guests have nothing to eat due to insufficient ingredients, it will be embarrassing.

It's not just a matter of shame, it's directly related to the reputation of the restaurant and even the reputation of Sichuan cuisine. If this is reported, it will definitely be treated like a rat crossing the street.

Without diamonds, what kind of porcelain work would you do?
Princess Silena also knew the importance of this matter to the two of them, and after thinking about it, she said: "As for the menu, I can temporarily decide on a few items, and I want to wait for the banquet in the boutique to decide on the rest.

After all, there are some dishes that I haven’t tried yet, and although I know they will definitely taste good, I still want to taste them myself before making a decision. "

Although Chu Yunfeng was a little anxious, it was understandable for Princess Silena to do this. Whether the food was delicious or not would be known only after she tasted it herself.

This matter really cannot be rushed, but just to be on the safe side, it would be good to have a little more time to prepare.

After Chu Yunfeng nodded, Princess Silena continued: "The number of tables for this banquet is 99. This will not change. Please don't worry, it will only be 99 tables."

"What? 99 tables?"

After Chu Yunfeng heard this number, he almost jumped up. Fortunately, he stabilized himself and did not let his frightened body make incredible movements.

Mu Qing was also shocked when she heard this number, and she felt the same as Chu Yunfeng's surprise. The two of them exchanged glances at the same time, and both saw the cautious look in the other's eyes.

"Are you sure it's 99 tables? This number won't change?"

Chu Yunfeng swallowed and made sure again. At this moment, his heart was beating very fast and his mood was very complicated.

If this is really 99 tables, it will be really troublesome.
"I'm very sure, there are 99 tables, no more than one table, no less than one table. Is there any problem?"

Princess Silena noticed that the two of them seemed to be a little embarrassed about this matter?When hosting a banquet in this hotel, shouldn’t the more tables the merrier?
These 99 tables can be considered a large banquet, but for a large hotel, this is basically not a problem.

Why do they look like they are making me feel a little strenuous?

Shouldn't be possible?

"Sorry, let's discuss it first. Please wait a moment."

Chu Yunfeng stood up and sat up, making an apologetic gesture, and then nodded to Mu Qing. Mu Qing also knew that this matter was a bit tricky, so she followed him to the courtyard.

"This is a bit beyond my expectation. I thought there would be twenty or thirty tables at most, but I didn't expect that there would be 99 tables. How can this be done?"

Chu Yunfeng never expected that this matter would turn out to be such a dramatic scene. It was all a sure thing at first, but in the end there was an accident that he couldn't control.

Mu Qing looked at Chu Yunfeng who looked embarrassed, nodded and said: "Yes, if it is a normal banquet, these 99 tables are nothing to our hotel.

If we go all out, we can make 99 tables, let alone 199 tables, without any problem. However, most banquets usually have ordinary dishes.

At most, there are some dishes that are difficult to prepare, but chefs can make these dishes, and they are also very fast, but traditional Sichuan cuisine is different.

Only you can cook many of these dishes. Not only does it take too long to make, but it also requires precise processing, unlike steamed dishes where you can make dozens or even hundreds of servings at a time.

If all the dishes for 99 tables are traditional Sichuan cuisine, it would be an impossible task for you to cook it alone. "

Mu Qing also felt a little aggrieved when she said this. Originally, it was a good thing that everyone was happy when this happened, but how could she have imagined that such a thing would happen in the end?

Chu Yunfeng nodded and let out a long sigh. It was only now that he truly understood the reason for the decline of traditional Sichuan cuisine. He was really helpless.

In the past glory days, they were all serving the dignitaries, and there were only three or five tables of banquets every day, so there was really no pressure to do so.

And they all need to be booked a few days in advance. This is of course easy to do. Even if you receive orders for more than ten tables, you can still find helpers.

After all, there were many chefs who could make traditional Sichuan cuisine at that time, and everyone would help each other.

But today, when traditional Sichuan cuisine is in decline, who can I turn to to help?

Although Guo Kui and Hu Yue can also make some dishes, they are just one or two dishes. As for the most delicate and complicated dishes, they are not even good at it.

Chu Yunfeng has already excluded Mr. Li, the only one who can help him, because Mr. Li is old and will definitely not be able to withstand such high-intensity cooking.

Even though he was so energetic every time he tried to hide his cooking, after every cooking session, he could be keenly aware of the trace of exhaustion revealed in his body.

"No matter what, I still have to agree to this first and think of a solution when the time comes. After all, the menu has not been determined yet. If the dishes are not too complicated, it should be no problem to prepare them in advance."

Chu Yunfeng was worried, and he still didn't believe that he couldn't solve it. Although he was a little impulsive, the boat would naturally straighten out when it reached the bridge, and he would definitely find a way.

"No, you can't take such a risk. If we can't make it by then, our reputation will be small. If it affects the reputation of Sichuan cuisine, there will be a big problem.

This is not your business alone. This is the job of all Sichuan cuisine practitioners, and we cannot mess it up by just the two of us. "

Mu Qing started to get a little anxious, and the circles under her eyes were a little red. Chu Yunfeng naturally understood her concern, and she was not thinking more about personal gains and losses.

If this matter is really messed up, it will affect the reputation of the entire Sichuan cuisine industry, and the nature is indeed very serious.

"I"

Chu Yunfeng felt a little depressed. This scene looked very silly. He had guessed the beginning, but not the end, and all of this was carefully planned by himself.

I didn't expect that it would be such a result in the end, which really made people feel very depressed.

"If I think about it again, there should be other ways. The most difficult things right now are just two things. One is the production time, and the other is the freshness of the dishes, right?"

Chu Yunfeng grasped the core of the problem and began to analyze what methods could be used to solve these two problems. Mu Qing nodded, knowing the difficulty of this.

Time is the most difficult issue. If it is made one day in advance, the time should be enough, but if it is served the next day, the taste will be different.
The freshness of the dishes is also related to the production time. This is a closed loop, and it is really not easy to solve.

So what can be done?

Chu Yunfeng thought hard, while Mu Qing shook her head. She had no idea about these two problems. However, seeing that Chu Yunfeng still didn't want to give up, she sighed slightly in her heart.

If you really can't think of a way, you can only give up.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Chu Yunfeng's mind again, and he suddenly thought of something he used when making molecular cuisine. It seemed that that thing could help him solve this problem.

"I figured it out!"

Chu Yunfeng snapped his fingers, with a charming smile on his face.
