Best Son-in-law

"No, no, I'm really not good at cooking. Of course I can't compare with you." Li Fan still spoke politely.

"Okay, let's talk about the cooking skills competition later." Guan Chongyang interrupted Li Fan and Fang Laiqing with a smile, and continued to introduce: "This is Qiu Changsheng, Lao Qiu, also a fellow of Lao Fang, this family The owner of Taiyang Hotel."

When Qiu Changsheng heard Guan Chongyang introduce himself, he immediately stretched out his hand to Li Fan and held Li Fan's hand together: "My little brother is young and promising. He opened a restaurant at such a young age. His future is unlimited, and his medical skills are still good. Very superb, compared with you, I feel ashamed."

Qiu Changsheng was also extremely polite when he spoke. He shook hands with Li Fan with a smile on his face.

"No, I still need to study hard with Manager Qiu. I'm far behind in hotel management and cooking in the kitchen." Li Fan said modestly.

"You're so humble, sit down quickly, sit down quickly." Qiu Changsheng extended his hand to Li Fan and said.

Several people were very kind, and Li Fan felt extremely comfortable getting along with them.

Naturally, after giving in to each other, Guan Chongyang sat on the main seat, Fang Laiqing and Qiu Changsheng sat on both sides, and Li Fan sat next to Fang Laiqing.

"I've brought all the dishes, do you want to try them?" Li Fan said.

"Actually, it's not necessary. Even if it's a public matter, you, Lao Guan, have tasted the vegetables and know the good and the bad. What we want are green, natural, pollution-free vegetables with high nutritional value. For It is to add nutrition to the soldiers so that they can have enough food to win the battle. It is enough to satisfy this point. There is not much else to say. Just supply it normally when the time comes. There will be no trouble for us to cooperate. One of our own." Fang Laiqing said directly.

He also wanted to be polite.

Li Fan also understood what Fang Laiqing meant and smiled: "Let's take a look. I not only brought vegetables this time, but also other things."

"Oh? What else?" Fang Laiqing couldn't help but ask.

"I also want to cooperate with you. Snake wine, wild ginseng, eels, and water snakes are all the characteristics of our village. You can try them when the time comes. The nutritional value of these is particularly high. I am not selling melons and boasting. ." Li Fan said with a smile.

"Okay, no problem. As long as these things have high nutritional value, there will be no problem." Fang Laiqing nodded.

"Let's not talk about this now. Let's drink first and try Lao Qiu's food. Li Fan, what do you think?" Guan Chongyang said to Li Fan, who was also the first to pour the wine.

"Ouch, I should be the one to pour this wine anyway, Lao Guan, you are stealing my job." Fang Laiqing said.

"We are eating at home now. We don't have to talk about so many details. Just relax and just do what you have to do. Just do what you usually do now." Guan Chongyang laughed and said proudly.

So as soon as Guan Chongyang put down the wine bottle, Qiu Changsheng immediately took it and filled it for himself, and then for Fang Laiqing. Finally, he wanted to fill the wine glass in front of Li Fan, but But he was pushed away by Li Fan.

"Manager Qiu, you're too polite. I'll do it. I'll do it." Li Fan took the bottle from Qiu Changsheng's hand and poured it for himself.

"Look, brother, you are so polite. Don't call me Store Manager Qiu from now on. It seems unfamiliar. You, you, I'll give it to you. I'm older than you, so you can just call me Brother Qiu." Qiu Changsheng smiled. He said, his smile also full of simplicity.

Li Fan also smiled after hearing this: "Brother Qiu."

"Hey, okay, okay, okay." Qiu Changsheng nodded shyly.

"Look, they are all brothers, why are you so polite? Let's make people laugh. Sit down and let's just drink and chat." Guan Chongyang said.

After a few people clinked glasses, they simply took a few bites of the food.

As soon as Li Fan chewed this dish from Taiyang Restaurant, he immediately felt something different. This dish was indeed unique.

Although it may not be as good as ordinary restaurants, the taste of this dish still makes people want to come back after eating it once.

The vegetable soup here is thick and oily but not greasy.

As soon as you eat it, you will know that the oil is heavy, but the way people handle it is not a disadvantage, but an advantage.

Moreover, some meat dishes are also sweetened, and when mixed with this oil, they taste soothing and extremely delicious.

Gives people a different feeling.

Very distinctive.

This time Li Fan knew why there were so many guests in Taiyang Hotel, and they also had real things.

"How is it? This dish?" Guan Chongyang asked with a smile.

"It's delicious, it's delicious." Li Fan gave a thumbs up. The food here really has a unique taste and is particularly delicious.

After hearing Li Fan's praise, Qiu Changsheng was a little embarrassed: "Brother, you are exaggerating."

"No, no, it's really delicious. Your food is unique and delicious. I can't eat it anywhere else," Li Fan said.

After hearing this, Qiu Changsheng was a little shy: "Well, originally I didn't like to eat the dishes I cooked because they taste different."

"Brother Qiu is from the south, right?" Li Fan couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, our dishes are lighter in flavor than here, with more oil. Originally, I wanted to open a restaurant specializing in authentic hometown dishes, but no one came as soon as I opened it. The business at that time was very bad. I I wanted to go back to my hometown, but then I decided to make a change, so I walked around here and ate some dishes from popular restaurants. As soon as I ate them, I understood that my taste was bland. , the taste of people in our hometown is also bland, but when you come to Yannan, you can't follow the cooking methods of your hometown, you have to do as the locals do, plus the characteristics of your hometown, otherwise the dishes I cook will not be eaten here, and it is the same, so I After making some reforms, we have this kind of food, which is shameful to say." Qiu Changsheng also spoke very sincerely, without any secrets.

"Yes, we can't follow the way we do back home. Now that I'm in the army, I'm used to eating heavy-duty dishes, but I'm not used to eating the dishes back home." Fang Laiqing said.

"Wen is not the best, Wu is not the second. Everyone's taste is different, and their preferences are naturally different. Maybe the dishes we create will not taste right when brought to Brother Qiu's hometown. "Li Fan said with a smile.

"Otherwise, our family likes dishes with heavy oil, but it's not that they can't tolerate dishes with heavy ingredients. People here like to eat dishes with heavy ingredients, but it's not that they can't tolerate dishes with heavy oil. The key is It depends on how you make it, there is no standard, but if you want to really make people say it is delicious and be accepted by everyone, then you have to work hard and integrate these things together."

"For example, my dish is heavy with oil. Some people can't get used to it. What should I do if they can't get used to it? In fact, they don't completely reject the oil, but reject this method. You can find another way and change the method to let them Being able to accept this heavy oil means finding ways to change the disadvantages of heavy oil. If the disadvantages are gone, why don't people like it?"

"Another example is the mutton smell. Some people like to eat it very much, and some people don't like to eat it. You can't unify this, but you can adjust the mutton smell to the point where others can accept it, and remove some things that are unacceptable to others. Of course, this will take a lot of effort.”

"Besides, some people like to eat coriander and chopped green onions, and some don't. You can't unify other people's tastes, so you have to start with yourself and let your strengths fully shine through, thus hiding your weaknesses. That's what I rely on. Only one piece can make Taiyang Hotel what it is today." Qiu Changsheng looked around the room and sighed with emotion. In the past, he was frowning and didn't know where to take over. His life was very sad. Now he has everything he wants. , only he knows the hardships along the way.

At this moment, he thought of many things and mentioned many things. Even Qiu Changsheng had tears in his eyes. It was not easy.

I work hard from early to late, but there are no customers. I am in panic every day. I don’t dare to think about the future at all. I just take it one day at a time.

Life at that time was really dark, and he himself didn't know how to go about the future or what the future would look like.

So Qiu Changsheng cried, and he couldn't help but wipe his tears.

After hearing Qiu Changsheng's sincere and unreserved words, Li Fan felt quite touched and had mixed emotions.

What he said is actually right. People have various tastes. You say this is delicious, and he says that is delicious. There is no way to unify them. But the chef has to face a group of guests and it is difficult for them to agree, but he still has to make it. How to make a dish that satisfies everyone? Strive for excellence and leave no stone unturned.

Maximize the advantages and hide the disadvantages so that guests can ignore them.

For example, some people are not used to the mutton smell, and some people just like it. What the chef has to do is to maintain the mutton smell as much as possible, and then remove the parts of the mutton smell that people are not used to and keep it. A unique place can be accepted by more people.

Of course it is not easy, and you have to try various methods, but only with originality, careful study, and sincere focus on delicious food can you make dishes that people like.

Not only cooking, but also doing other things.

If you want to gain recognition from others and make a living, you must come up with something real. If you come up with something fake to fool people, no one will support you.

So don't think about success in anything, think about how to do it, and don't care too much about the results. The key is a process, and what Li Fan has to do is enjoy the process.

After listening to Qiu Changsheng's words today, Li Fan was really touched and deeply moved.

Qiu Changsheng used his own experience to give Li Fan a vivid lesson. The food world is really not as simple as he imagined.

No wonder the longer the foundation, the stronger the mellow fragrance. Each layer of foundation carries a layer of mellow fragrance, which is accumulated over time.

Sometimes time is like water, it can wash away all the uncleanness and all the bad things, and it can wash out the best things.

To use the power of time to wash out truly good things, you need to be original.

Only by truly doing something well with the spirit of craftsman can you have hope of success. If you only want results and don’t live in the present, how can you have a future?
