Chapter 885 Extra 4: Sun Family Father and Son Chapter (1)
If he hadn't seen and experienced it with his own eyes, Jiang Feng and even all the employees at Tai Feng Tower who had heard about Sun Changping's glorious deeds would not have believed that he was actually a born waiter.
Yes, a born waiter.
Although this does not sound like a compliment, because the profession of waiter does not sound like a profession that can be shown off, Sun Changping's talent in the service industry is really terrifying. Not only can he take Ji Yue Hang them up and beat them. You can also hang Ji Yue and Fang Mei together and beat them.
Let’s put it this way, even if the Michelin star restaurant selection took advantage of the popularity of the celebrity chef directory and the Good Taste Sino-US Chef Competition, the Peking Michelin restaurant was announced on the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the day before Tai Feng Restaurant resumed business. Selection results. Tai Feng Building and the top-floor restaurant both have three Michelin stars, Yongheju has two stars, and Babao Zhai barely got one star. As a result, as soon as Tai Feng Building resumed business, the people of Peiping queued up and waited for meals every day as if they didn't have to go to work. Jiang Feng didn't I feel that the reason why Tai Feng Restaurant’s business is so good is because of its three Michelin stars.
He thought it was Sun Changping who caused it.
At first, only Jiang Feng thought so. Later, Wu Minqi began to agree with Jiang Feng's idea, Ji Yue also began to agree, and Fang Mei began to look at Sun Changping with admiration. Three months after Sun Changping joined the company, that is, when Tai Feng Restaurant started preparing to change its summer menu in May, all the employees at Tai Feng Restaurant began to agree that Sun Changping was an immortal service worker who could defeat a hundred people.
I even began to suspect that Jubaolou was able to maintain its reputation as the No. 1 restaurant in FJ back then, not because of its cooking skills but because of Sun Changping.
His memory and temper are too good.
Most people would use photographic memory to describe their extraordinary skills. Jiang Feng felt that Sun Changping was no longer in the range of photographic memory.
He not only remembers the regulars, but also the guests who came within a week. Not only does he remember their faces, but he also remembers which table they sat at and what dishes they ordered last time.
For example, when you visit a restaurant for the second time, a waiter who looks like the head waiter comes up to you and asks you if you are satisfied with your seat this time. Do you prefer the seat next to the wall or the window seat last time? Whether the food is to your liking? What a wonderful feeling you will feel when you still like the dry-fried beef river you ordered last time.
I don’t know how the guest felt. Anyway, he was already stupid when he saw it for the first time.
Jiang Feng felt that a foreman of Sun Changping's level could no longer be defined as an ordinary waiter. He was more like the long-sleeved Mr. Hu from Tai Feng Tower whom he had seen in his memory. Not a waiter, but more like an intermediary between the restaurant and the customers, specializing in dealing with customers and maintaining relationships.
Sun Changping is indeed as good at dancing as Ye Ye. He has a good temper and a kind person. He does not take the initiative to make friends, but he can say words like a spring breeze at the most critical moment.
He pays such attention and remembers ordinary guests, let alone VIP guests and regular guests of Tai Fung House. It turns out that when Fangmei and Jiyue maintain these old customers, they usually call or send messages to remind them when new dishes are launched, there are quotas for tasting dishes, or there are limited set meal promotions, and they take the initiative to send some pickles during holidays. Something that guests like.
At one time, everyone thought that this was good enough, but after Sun Changping came, everyone realized that what they had done was far from enough.
At Tai Fung House, not only the chefs need to work hard and improve to the next level, but also the waiters.
Sun Changping will pay attention to the menus that these regular customers order every time, estimate their tastes and favorite dishes, remember their birthdays, and even learn about their friends, social circles, family members and family members without disturbing them. Birthday. Then when necessary, such as a week before the birthday of an elder in the family, he might ask, seemingly unintentionally, what he plans to do for his birthday. Is it a large or small event? If it is a large event, should I choose the right hotel?
With his own efforts, Sun Changping brought many banquets to Tai Feng Tower and maintained many regular customers.
His abilities and talents are so amazing that even Fang Mei feels ashamed.
Let's put it this way, Jiang Feng didn't even understand what the Sun family thought when there was an immortal like Sun Changping in Jubao Tower. Instead of keeping such a fairy in the hotel to protect customers and manage the business, instead sending such a fairy to fight in the shopping mall in an area that he is not good at, this is not overkill, it is simply a waste of natural resources!
Jiang Feng had been holding this question in his mind for two months, and finally one day in June, he happened to have lunch with his deskmate Sun Jikai and couldn't help but ask it out.
As soon as this question came up, Ji Yue, Wu Minqi and Zhang Guanghang immediately pricked up their ears to listen. Everyone was curious and wanted to know, but none of them were as stubborn as Jiang Feng.
I don't know since when, Jiang Feng already had the demeanor to eliminate the one-time melon king Pei Shenghua.
Sun Jikai chewed the stir-fried pork in his mouth, swallowed it, and hesitated for a long time before answering.
"Because of my mother."
"At first, grandpa wanted to let my second uncle join the company to take care of other affairs. My dad continued to stay in the restaurant and manage the restaurant. My dad also thought this was okay. He preferred to stay in the Treasure Building instead of entering the company. But she Not willing." Everyone knew that Sun Jikai was referring to his mother.
Ever since Sun Jikai's own mother stabbed her son and husband in the back through a magical trick and successfully left the house without getting anything, Sun Jikai rarely used the word "mother" when referring to her, but directly referred to her.
"She felt that grandpa didn't let my dad join the company because he favored the second uncle and didn't value my dad. Since our family's business has grown bigger and bigger, it has not limited to the restaurant business and established a group. After the group went public, my mother has despised Jubaolou. She feels that Jubaolou has no company to make money, and money is the most important thing, so she feels that I have no future and no future if I study cooking with this grandpa, so I should go abroad to study business and management, and then come back to manage the company. .”
The final result certainly speaks for itself.
Jiang Feng and the others could only shake their heads and lamented that Sun Jikai was really out of his mind.
The Sun family's foundation is basically Jubao Tower, and all the industries revolve around Jubao Tower. Sun Changning doesn't have the perseverance and determination to directly turn the restaurant into a hotel, let alone the strength.
In this case, looking down on the restaurant business, saying short-sighted means looking down on short-sightedness.
"Actually, I think it's pretty good now." Sun Jikai turned around and glanced at Sun Changping, who was sitting at the same table as Wang Xiulian and Jiang Jiankang. "At first, my dad said he would come to Tai Feng Building to work in the next year. I was worried that he wouldn't be able to adapt to the environment. Thinking that he is still living quite comfortably, like a fish in water, even makes me feel a bit like him when I was a child.”
"Uncle Sun is right, my dad is suitable to work here." Sun Jikai showed a smile.
"By the way, I heard that you and your father did not leave Peiping during the Chinese New Year this year." Ji Yue continued.
Sun Jikai nodded: "There is no other place to go. My dad likes the current house very much, and there is a small yard for him to grow flowers. He has already bought the house during the Chinese New Year. If nothing happens in the future, we will spend the New Year every year. We should all have been in Peking.”
Jiang Feng:?
Are all your rich people’s hobbies so simple and unpretentious?
If he likes the house, he buys it. He also likes the courtyard house, but it’s a pity that he can only look at it.
"Are you ready to take root in Peiping?" Zhang Guanghang asked.
"Let's see." Sun Jikai didn't finish his words, "I don't want to think about it that much now. There's nothing wrong with my dad and there's nothing wrong with me. I'm not good at cooking yet, and I'm still learning from my uncle. Even if I have other ideas, I can only think about it.”
Speaking of cooking skills, Jiang Feng suddenly remembered that he still had to learn a very important dish - Buddha Jumps over the Wall.
Even with his current strength, this is not a dish that can be made once after watching the tutorial.
Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is not like ordinary high-end dishes. The soup is ready and the dish is half successful. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is the soup is ready, and the dish is only the beginning.
He had already agreed with the old man during the Chinese New Year that if he didn't want to do anything else this year, he would follow the old man to learn Buddhism and jump over the wall. He could also ask Sun Maocai for advice, and try to master the art of jumping over the wall thoroughly within two years and become a chef.
Two years is already a very long time. You must know that the old man studied Buddhism and jumped over the wall for nearly ten years.
Although the actual study time is only more than half a month every year, the remaining eleven months are spent pondering, which can be regarded as half-study.
"By the way, I will start learning Buddhism and jumping over the wall with my grandfather in a while. Sun, do you want to join me?" Jiang Feng asked.
In fact, he was already used to Jiang Feng's generosity. When he heard that I have a secret skill that I want to learn recently, would you like to learn it with me by the way, Sun Jikai still choked on his rice.
Although this secret skill theoretically belongs to his family.
Anyway, Jiang Feng, his family's special skill, also learned more than one thing.
"Yes." Sun Jikai was no longer polite.
"Okay, get ready and work overtime with me every afternoon starting from next week." Jiang Feng looked happy.
Sun Jikai:?
Wu Minqi listened without speaking. She glanced at her phone and realized something was wrong, urging Jiang Feng to eat quickly.
"Fengfeng, hurry up and eat. It's almost half past two and Xia Xia should have a rest. Otherwise, if you make a video call with Xia Xia while eating, Xia Xia won't be able to hear you clearly."
After hearing this, Jiang Feng stopped chatting and took the time to show off the momentum of the Jiang family and work hard to eat. He must not let his apprentice wait for him.
As the most promising new disciple of Zhiweiju, Xia Xia inspired all the masters in Zhiweiju to cherish their talents in just a few months. The leader of Zhiweiju even called Jiang Feng to ask why such a good young talent was sent to Zhiweiju so late. Was he looking down on Zhiweiju?
Xia Xia now not only has to get up early every morning for normal training, but also has a master who stays after get off work for additional training on a voluntary basis, living the life of a real social animal who wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog.
This also resulted in Xia Xia not having the time and energy to call Jiang Feng every night. However, Xia Xia still regarded scheduled calls as a task that must be completed every day. No matter how tired or sleepy she was, she had to make calls. There are two more calls to make, one to Ji Xue and one to Jiang Feng.
The first two months were spent on the phone at night, and sometimes Xia Xia fell asleep while talking, which made Wu Minqi on the other end of the phone feel distressed, so she changed the call time to lunch and rest.
"Hurry up Fengfeng, why do you still have half a bowl? There are only three minutes, it's almost half past two!" Wu Minqi controlled the time and kept urging.
Jiang Feng could only speed up his eating speed again, frantically grabbing rice and almost choking himself.
He didn't know if it was his hallucination, but he felt that since Xia Xia went to Zhiweiju, his status in Wu Minqi's heart had plummeted.
He was no longer the person Qiqi cared about the most.
Why.
Jiang Feng sighed in his heart.
Does this count as living a life of neglected children in advance?
"Fengfeng, hurry up!" (End of Chapter)
