Chapter 730: No Standards, Subject to Others
When Lyon was calling, Chu Yue and Chu Dingtian arrived at First Pin.
"I didn't eat anything from my brother's store on the first day of opening the store. Now I'm so full that I can't eat it even if I want to. But can I eat this kimchi for me?"
When Chu Yue came, she was frightened by the length of the queue outside. I heard from my classmates that the first-grade queue was spectacular, but it only had a superficial concept. I really felt shocked when I saw it.
As soon as he came in, his eyes were attracted by the can of kimchi next to him. Chu Dingtian was also moved when he saw it, but before Chu Yue could reach out, Chu Yunfeng knocked out her little abacus.
"All these are the guests. I want to eat them tomorrow. Will I make a bowl for you to try?"
Chu Yunfeng said with a smile, not knowing how much trouble the jar of kimchi I kept at home in the morning caused.
"Forget it, I really can't eat it now. Come and eat it tomorrow morning. My dad and I go shopping. You guys are busy!"
Although he was very interested in the Western food made by Hu Yue, Chu Yue knew that the time was tight today and the task was heavy, so he stopped talking and hurriedly took his dad to do the main business.
After Chu Dingtian and the two nodded, they followed Chu Yue and left.
After Lyon called and entered the store, he felt relieved when he saw that the two of them did not take the next move, and quickly took out the notebook and started recording.
Soon, Chu Yunfeng became more creative, and this time Hu Yue immediately became very interested. He was ready to make something on his own.
Even Lyon felt that this creativity was extraordinary, so he quickly recorded it with a pen, and then took out a piece of white paper to write and draw. I don’t know if he was thinking about it or something.
Chu Yunfeng and Hu Yue saw some of Lyon's strange behaviors, especially after each dish came out, he had to take notes. Such behavior was too obvious.
Chu Yunfeng didn't care and didn't delve into his intentions and origins, but Hu Yue was different and gradually realized what he did.
"This guy may be a Michelin commentator. It seems that your store is already famous. Even Michelin people have come to visit the store. It seems that your store should be no problem to get stars this year."
Hu Yue seemed a little happy and was very confident that Chu Yunfeng's store had a star rating.
"Michelin? I'll refuse their rating."
Chu Yunfeng weighed the fried rice in the pot hard, and then said lightly, Hu Yue was very surprised.
"No, right? That's Michelin? As long as it is rated as a star, it has unparalleled benefits for the store's business. Many high-end customers care a lot about their star rating.
With the recognition of star rating, many customers will come here, which is a huge help to the store’s business.
Do you know how much effort many stores need to make in Europe to get one more star? One more star means that you will earn at least two or three million euros a year.
Some stores will lose a huge loss because they lose one star, which also means that they will lose millions of euros a year. If you get three stars, congratulations, just wait and count the money."
Hu Yue thought Chu Yunfeng didn't know the difference, so she patiently explained it to him, but unexpectedly she was choked by Chu Yunfeng's words.
"So what? Do I still need them to promote it for me?"
Chu Yunfeng's words were very plain, but his tone was full of domineeringness, which made Hu Yue suddenly react, as if he didn't need this external force to promote it. First-class products have their own charm and communication channels.
I feel very depressed when I think about it. Chu Yunfeng's store relies entirely on cooking and delicious food to attract customers, and has online channels for publicity, so I naturally don't worry about the customer source.
However, other restaurants do not have such advantages, so they will naturally contact the media they can use, and Michelin, a widely recognized and recognized brand, is of course flocking to it.
"Although you don't care, the previous one is also very good. At least it shows that your strength is there and can also increase your influence in Europe.
Besides, do you think it is so easy to rate a star?
It is based on the report of the three-week trips and visits of food critics before deciding which restaurants and hotels will be included in the guide.
Which ones are removed from the list because of the decline in quality, which ones can get the title of a great restaurant or a great hotel, and which chefs have successfully crossed new areas of their careers.
The most critical star award is to be decided by a special meeting, and such meetings will only be held twice a year, and the editor-in-chief, food commentator and the director of the Red Guide will be present.
The award of a star rating can only be decided after unanimous consent of everyone.
The consistency of its strict standards is also something that everyone recognizes, because the selection criteria for the Red Guide are consistent across the countries covered by the entire series.
For example, the standard for a three-star restaurant awarded in Paris is the same as the standard for a three-star restaurant awarded in London and New York.
So no matter which country you go to, as long as you have a Samsung or two-star store, their service level and quality of dishes are the same.
This is also very convenient for guests to travel, and it has provided great convenience to many people who need quality service, so so many people recognize Michelin standards.”
Hu Yue felt Chu Yunfeng's resistance to Michelin in his heart. I don't know what he thought, so I gave him a little more impression. This Michelin was not so easy to be rated.
Chu Yunfeng scoffed at what Hu Yue said, and then snorted softly and said, "It is because of this standard that I owe Michelin a little bit of good feelings. Do you know why?"
"Hmm~? What does it mean?"
There is no problem with Michelin standards, but why does Chu Yunfeng have no favoritism for it?
Hu Yue did not ask why this is directly, but she did not understand the true meaning of Chu Yunfeng's words.
"There is only one Michelin three-star restaurant in the entire China area. Do you know this?"
Chu Yunfeng glanced gently at Lyon, who was still taking notes with care, then turned his head and looked at Hu Yue in a calm manner, and said in a sarcastic tone.
"I know, it's a French restaurant, and the chef is a particularly famous French chef. What's wrong?"
Hu Yue seemed to have thought of something and vaguely understood what Chu Yunfeng meant.
"What Michelin calls the standard is to use Western food standards in China to evaluate national cuisine. Do you think such a standard is reasonable?
The national cuisine of Dahuaxia is so extensive and profound that no restaurant has been selected as Samsung. Do you think that in so many restaurants in our cities, no restaurant is really not as good as their so-called Samsung restaurants?
Is this normal?
Who is this humiliating?"
Chu Yunfeng became more and more angry the more he said that. Such a behavior would be strange if he could have a good impression of Michelin.
Especially for those who have an understanding of national cuisine and have inheritance, what is Michelin?
Let the so-called three-star chefs selected for the competition. I won’t talk about the many more. Let’s cut Wensi tofu first. I will take a look. Even if I fail the knife skills, I dare to call myself a chef?
How can these barbarians with knife and fork understand and understand the essence of Chinese cuisine?
If you only eat frozen cooked meat in supermarkets, where can you experience the wonderful ways to eat meat braised, fragrant braised, white cuts, etc.?
Not to mention casual drama-watching food such as chicken claws and pig trotters. Foreigners not only do not know how to eat it, but they don’t eat it at all. How can they understand the profoundness of Chinese food?
Hu Yue was also a little angry when she felt the anger in Chu Yunfeng's heart, but she was helpless about this matter. After all, the standards were set by others, and it was really uncomfortable to be controlled by others.
"It makes sense, but what can I do? This standard is set by others, and in order to protect your own interests, it will certainly suppress you."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunfeng immediately retorted: "Who said there is nothing he can do? Let's take a look. This time I will give this Michelin a warning to let it know that our China has its own set of standards and does not need it to point fingers."
After saying that, Chu Yunfeng ignored Hu Yue's suspicious expression and took out his cell phone and called President Hou.
Chu Yunfeng walked to the innermost part of the kitchen, and after answering it, he whispered a few words and hung up the phone. Hu Yue just vaguely heard something "Pearl" and didn't understand what it meant.
"What did you mean just now? Do we have any standards to compete with Michelin?"
Hu Yue put down the dough that was kneading in her hand, and asked with a hint of nervousness and expectant look on her face.
As a national chef, although he can cook Western food, he is also tireless in maintaining the honor of national cuisine, so Hu Yue naturally cared very much.
"I won't tell you too much, just wait to watch the show. The good show has just begun. But since this gentleman is so interested, I will make efforts to make them even more crazy and to avenge our previous shame.
Are you ready?"
The plan has been decided, Chu Yunfeng showed strong confidence and motivation, and said that he was going to start to be serious and would give the other party a strong blow.
What made Hu Yue particularly confused was that you, your sister, you have been playing with your relationship before, but now you are starting to take real action?
Grandma, you are so fierce when you "play" and you have improved the dishes like this. If you become serious, what will this dishes look like?
"Do you really play?"
Seeing that Chu Yunfeng was not like a joke, Hu Yue felt that she needed to confirm again. If Chu Yunfeng transformed into Superman in a while, at least she would have a process of adapting to it.
"Are you kidding me? Let's have a slogan!"
Chu Yunfeng "touched" a kitchen knife from somewhere, and a stream of light flashed faintly on it, which immediately made Hu Yue feel its thickness and sharpness.
"What, what slogan?"
Hu Yue put all his mind on this kitchen knife. At first glance, he felt that this knife was really not simple, and he only answered Chu Yunfeng's question mechanically.
"Awesome!"
Chu Yunfeng clenched his fists, raised them and waved them hard. The confidence emitted from this naturally affected Hu Yue.
But Hu Yue seemed to be not very interested. After chanting "Oligo", he immediately reached out to get the kitchen knife that suddenly appeared, trying to get a glimpse of the truth.
"I'm going, why is it so heavy?"
Chu Yunfeng did not stop Hu Yue. Seeing his slogan without fighting spirit, he shook his head helplessly. This knife was the Flowing Star Fallen Knife, and sooner or later they would see it. Hiding it will make people doubt it.
After letting Hu Yue get started with it with ease, he immediately discovered the strangeness of the knife.
"I specially found someone to make it, of course it's different. If you don't have some strength, you won't be able to use this knife well!"
Chu Yunfeng himself was not used to the weight of this knife, but in order to make all his strength suddenly, he took out the knife and prepared to get familiar with it.
"I'll go, it's so sharp?"
Hu Yue tried it with a knife, and the carrot was gently cut off, and he almost had no power, which shows the sharpness of the knife.
"No, this is specially made. It costs a lot of money. How could it be so ordinary?"
Chu Yunfeng smiled and took the knife from Hu Yue's hand, threw it a few times in his hand, felt its weight well, and then immediately entered the system space.
After 2 hours in the system space, Chu Yunfeng immediately came out and looked at his experience value. There was still 38.73 million yuan. He immediately spent 20 million yuan to upgrade the pastry skill to the technician level.
I originally wanted to upgrade the comprehensive skills together, but the task of restoring Aunt's Jewelry Kimchi has not been completed yet. Once completed, there is still a reward of 5 million experience points, but I can upgrade in the afternoon.
Now I am still missing the technician level. Before I can reach the technician level, I can be promoted to a technician after I have all the points...
Cough, cough!
A chef of technician level!!!
"System, pastry skills upgrade!"
Suddenly, Chu Yunfeng felt his whole body full of strength, and he became more profound in making the pasta. He picked up the dough on the table and started to act.
Kneading the dough is like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the force is also very good. Every move makes people look so pleasing to the eye, with a unique rhythm, giving people a sense of beauty.
"I'll go, when did you have this technique?"
Hu Yue suddenly realized that Chu Yunfeng had "changed". Suddenly, it seemed like he had gone from a master to a master, which made people a little unbelievable.
Did he not just joked, but was just "playing" before? Now he is serious?
sea bass!
Chu Yunfeng was very surprised when he came up and added the sea bass to the bread for baking.
After adding some seasonings, Chu Yunfeng put the bread embryo into the oven under Hu Yue and Lyon's surprise eyes...
It's not over yet. It's really like Chu Yunfeng said, and now I'm starting to take it seriously.
Lamb chops with black truffle sauce!
Chu Yunfeng made a sauce with black truffle and carefully roasted the lamb chops. The heat was impeccable, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the juice was very rich.
The unique sauce of black truffle made the lucky guests praise it.
Take a photo, write it down...
Lyon sighed in his heart and quickly took notes...
Tassava shredded shrimp, fresh shrimp and wild mushroom dumplings, vermicelli lobster balls, pan-fried morel fat beef, sour soup wing ginseng...
Chu Yunfeng made one dish after another, and then stopped after making ten dishes in a row, which made Hu Yue almost collapse. Didn’t he agree to let me make it first?
I haven't had time to show my cooking skills yet, and you have all the popularity overwhelmed.
But it seems that from the beginning, I have never been in the limelight, right?
However, Hu Yue's opportunity came soon, and finally discovered Chu Yunfeng's shortcomings, that is ice cream and molecular cuisine.
Chapter completed!
