Chapter 544 Analysis
Jiang Feng sat upright involuntarily.
I don't know why, even though Lu Sheng was telling him something that might be related to the critical survival of the restaurant, he was just excited about it.
This may mean that people die for melons and birds die for food.
"Did you hear something?" Jiang Feng looked curious.
He dared to conclude that Lu Sheng must know something, otherwise it would be impossible to say these words with such certainty.
"I've heard a little bit about it, but it's just some gossip. But what is certain is that the newly opened restaurant this time is definitely very powerful and should not be underestimated, and it comes from a bad person." Lu Sheng's answer was very vague. Obviously he doesn't want to say it directly.
"Then do you know what that store owner does? It helps me to be mentally prepared. Otherwise, the enemy will come fiercely. If I am confused, the battle will not be easy to fight." Seeing that Lu Sheng was unwilling to say anything, Jiang Feng Just changed the question.
"I don't know what the main business is, but it is definitely not Japanese food. There are only a few famous Japanese food masters who have never heard of anyone coming to Peiping. They all stay in their own stores." Lu Sheng After eliminating one wrong answer for Jiang Feng, there are still 100,000 answers to choose from.
"There were so many people inquiring about that store during the Chinese New Year, but no one really found out anything. Even Ling Guangzhao and Pei Shenghua had such wide connections. But if I'm not wrong, Ten Eighty-nine times it’s home——”
"French restaurant." Jiang Feng and Lu Sheng said in unison.
"Did you guess it too?" Lu Sheng stood by the kettle boiling water.
"I just guessed it." Jiang Feng smiled, "You may not believe it, but maybe it is such a coincidence. Do you remember that we have a chef named Zhou Shi in Tai Feng Building?"
Lu Sheng thought for a while and tapped his fingers on the edge of the table carelessly: "It seems to have some impression. I remember that he has stayed in many stores before."
"That's him. He told me a few months ago that he wanted to resign because he heard from a friend that a new high-end restaurant in Peiping would be opening early this year. He originally wanted to apply for the job, but it turned out that the high-end restaurant was French Restaurant, if there is no second newly opened high-end restaurant at the beginning of this year, this one should be the one Zhou Shi inquired about." Jiang Feng said.
Lu Sheng raised his eyebrows: "That's a coincidence. I didn't expect that Zhou Shi in your store has so many connections. I really underestimated him at first. It should be this one. It would be easier if we can confirm that it is a French restaurant. . There are not many famous French cuisine masters. Although I am not familiar with them, I know a few people there. I asked them to help me find out the information. Even if I am not sure, I can narrow down the scope and it will be easy to deal with. "
Just as the water was boiling, the scalding hot water was poured into the cup, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of tea.
"Good tea, really good tea, this is a rare good tea!" Lu Sheng stared at the tea in the cup with an intoxicated expression, then glanced at Jiang Feng with a regretful expression, "You are better at cooking than me. There are so many, why don’t you know how to taste tea? ”
Jiang Feng:...
"Tai Feng Restaurant will open tomorrow morning after finishing preparations. If he is really a master of French cuisine, I can just ask Zhang Guanghang in person tomorrow. He should be familiar with it," Jiang Feng said.
Lu Sheng slapped his head: "Look at my memory, how come I forgot about him, and even said that I would help you find out. I heard that Zhang Guanghang returned to France during the Chinese New Year. I guess he already knew the news and went back to find out the situation for you." In this case, I won’t hide it from you. We got the news last year that the Michelin jury will come to Peiping to select Michelin restaurants this year.”
"Michelin restaurant selection? Are they available nationwide?" Jiang Feng asked.
Flower growers have been outside the Michelin selection mechanism for many years, and only Hong Kong and Macao participate in the selection. Although the culinary industry generally believes that Michelin is not as valuable as Celebrity Chefs, Michelin selects restaurants, while Celebrity Chefs selects chefs. There is still a big difference between the two.
After all, what restaurant wouldn’t want another reason to raise prices?
If Tai Feng Restaurant was awarded three Michelin stars, Wang Xiulian would dare to double the prices of all the dishes on the menu the next day. No, doubling the price is a bit exaggerated, but she can definitely do such a thing as increasing the price by 30% to 50% as appropriate.
"I'm not sure exactly, but it seems to start from Peking." Lu Sheng said.
"That new French restaurant..."
"Needless to say, they must be here to give us a show of strength. In recent years, our Chinese restaurants have not participated in the Michelin selection mechanism. Although Chinese chefs account for less than half of the celebrity chef list, they still account for almost 40%. ." Lu Sheng picked up the tea cup and blew on it, taking a sip of tea. "There are famous restaurants everywhere, but Peking has the most and the most prosperous ones. It would be unreasonable not to show off." br>
"It sounds like there's a tough battle to be fought in March." Jiang Feng suddenly felt relieved for some reason.
"What are you afraid of? They want to give us a showdown, so we will give them a Hongmen Banquet. Peking is the territory of Shandong cuisine. We are somewhat acclimated to other cuisines, let alone other countries' cuisines." Lu Sheng poured out another cup The tea was handed to Jiang Feng, "Thank you for your hard work. You have to fight the first battle as a vanguard. Your Taifeng Building is the closest and it is newly opened. I will definitely attack you first."
Jiang Feng smiled bitterly. This shopping mall could not be built anywhere, but it was built next to Tai Feng Building. It would be difficult for the other party not to take action on them.
"But as the old saying goes, good fortune lies behind misfortune, and misfortune lies behind blessing. If you fight well in the first battle and get the limelight, good things will be waiting for you later. Don't worry, as long as this end is done well, After surviving the first two months, he won't be able to make trouble later." Lu Sheng smiled mysteriously.
Looking at Lu Sheng's expression, Jiang Feng always felt that there was something behind his words: "Boss Lu, why do I feel like you have other more important things that you are hiding from me?"
"How can I? I've told you about this Michelin thing, what else could be bigger than this?" Lu Sheng said, "When it comes to the selection, we will all be competitors, and I am willing to tell you that it is not Because we have a good relationship.”
When Jiang Feng heard that it made sense, he was ready to get up and go back.
He stayed at Lu Sheng's place for at least 20 minutes. Everyone in the private room must have eaten. If he arrived late, the white fungus braised vegetables would probably be gone.
"Tea, you didn't take the tea with you. This is the best Pu'er. What a pity you didn't taste it." Lu Sheng pointed to the teacup on the table that Jiang Feng had never touched.
"Your tea is piping hot. I accidentally spilled it while I was carrying it over." Jiang Feng glanced at the shelf and found that the Lushan Yunwu Tea that Lu Sheng gave him a long time ago seemed to be still there, and the box was still on the shelf. Put it on.
"Otherwise, you know that I don't drink tea, but my grandpa does. My grandpa doesn't drink Pu'er. He likes to drink Lushan Yunwu tea. I see that the Lushan Yunwu tea on your shelf hasn't been finished yet. Over there, why don't you make me another pot of Lushan Yunwu tea and let me take it back to the box?" Jiang Feng tore the skin off his face, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it.
"Ling the wolf into the house." Lu Sheng smiled and went to get the tea leaves from the shelf. (End of chapter)
