Chapter 091 [Important News]
The French chef forgot this little episode afterwards. He has been a chef for nearly 30 years and has met many customers with tricky tastes. Some are sought after and some are derogatory.
The next day, a domestic special chef hired by the hotel High-tech, was good at the Hui and Shandong cuisines in the eight major cuisines. But his most famous are classic vegetarian dishes. They can simplify them into traditional Chinese and cook vegetarian dishes with better taste than meat dishes.
Of course, only their chef knows that this super chef's attention to cooking vegetarian dishes exceeds the procedures for most meat dishes. The process is very complicated, but the taste is really good.
On this day, the five female diners featured several classic vegetarian dishes.
Among them are "stewed eggplant in oil" and "braised winter melon".
Especially the "braised winter melon", the rosy color and fresh and sweet taste can always make the diners applaud! Today is no exception, and three diners praised it.
But after eating a few chopsticks, the two middle-aged women whispered to each other in a low voice. Then the oldest one called the waiter and asked her to notify the chef.
The chef, who was in his fifties, came with a smile and greeted the diners politely. He thought that like the past, it was the diners' praise for his cooking skills.
Especially for female diners, they also like to ask about the way they cook the dishes.
He had prepared some decent words...
But the woman said, "The ingredients in your hotel are not good enough."
The chef was stunned for a while and pointed at "Mao Feng Smoked Anchovies", "Madam, are you referring to the ingredients of this dish? I can guarantee that the ingredients are very fresh and have been tested several quality..."
"No, we mean these two dishes. The ingredients of winter melon and eggplant are not good." Another woman said sharply: "It's not as good as the ingredients in our home. Do you dare to call yourself a high-end restaurant?"
"No...ma's! This winter melon and eggplant do not come from China, but we grow it on specialized farms abroad. I am from Chinese, but I can't say that our products can surpass them without my conscience..."
"Is that so? Then you are too ignorant. If you don't know Tanggulado vegetables, you dare to say that foreign ones must be better than domestic ones?"
"What Tanggulado... Sorry!" The chef was sweating profusely, knowing that he had encountered diners who were difficult to serve.
"The Tanggulado vegetables I buy online are a hundred times better than those in your restaurant."
The other diners were a little unbelievable, "Sister Gao... won't be it."
The chef also wanted to explain, "All ladies are all VIP guests in our hotel. If you think these two dishes are not in line with the taste, I will change two dishes to compensate you..."
"Forget it, you go back." Sister Gao frowned slightly, impatient.
Another woman waved her hand, "Go and go, don't make things difficult for you..." After saying that, she said softly to Sister Gao, "We can't buy vegetables, they... Humph! I'm just angry that he said that the moon in foreign countries is rounder."
Sister Gao narrowed her eyes and didn't say anything.
The chef bowed slightly and retreated silently.
That night, the chef meeting of the catering department once every seven days.
Generally, discuss dishes and study the flow and taste changes of diners.
The domestic special chef suddenly asked, "Who do you know Tanggulado vegetables?"
Several chefs shook their heads.
The French chef raised Yang Mei and said, "I heard of Tanggula and other wild fish..."
The executive chef who presided over the meeting said ignorantly: "I have been in China for four years and have never heard of fresh dishes such as Tanggula?"
The domestic special chef said, "I heard from two diners today that the vegetables produced by Tanggulado are better than what we offer..."
Several foreign chefs shook their heads and laughed.
The French chef said seriously, "One of my diners also said that the wild fish in Tanggula pastures is better than our ingredients..."
A young chef picked up his cell phone, "I asked Klaus, who was responsible for purchasing expensive and rare ingredients at the three-star Michelin restaurant in Shangjing. There is no high-end ingredients in the world that he didn't know."
After four or five minutes of the phone call, the young chef's face changed again and again. After putting down his phone, he looked at the executive chef and lowered his voice, "Klaus said that he also received feedback from Michelin restaurant diners, asking them to add fresh dishes from Dongulado."
The executive chef sat upright, "Is there really a Tanggula..."
"Dongurado," the French chef added.
The young chef nodded, "It should be true. According to Klaus's news, this Tanggulado product not only alarmed the three Michelin stars, but also the Crown Holiday Hotel and even the Great Wall Hotel, all inquired about Tanggulado's supply channels in private..."
The executive chef's fat hand waved, "As long as there is such a farm, I will inform our purchasing director later and ask him to send someone to purchase it. I want to try whether their fresh products are as good as the legend."
The young chef wanted to speak but stopped saying that, "It is said that it is difficult to buy it. Their vegetables and wild fish are sold at sky-high prices, and there is still some snow fruit worth RMB 1,000. Every day, e-commerce websites are on the shelves at 12 a.m., and they can't buy them with limited sales..."
"Chinese people like to play cunning the most, and they are doing hunger marketing..." a chef mocked.
The domestic chef wanted to refute, but didn't have time to speak.
The young chef shook his head, "Dear Lorendis, not. Klaus snatched it for two consecutive days but didn't get it. Yesterday he found out the phone number from Dongulado's pasture, and guess the result. The other party refused."
"Rejecting a purchase order from a Samsung Michelin? Buying cake! It's incredible. Do they know what they will lose? Order from a Michelin Samsung?"
"Klaus won't lie to me. And... he is on his way to the airport and takes a red-haired flight to Ukraine." The young chef glanced at the executive chef, "Along with him are Waldorf and the purchasing specialist of Buyu Restaurant."
The French chef suddenly said: "I remember that yesterday's diners said that if our hotel can provide ingredients from Dongulado, his company's annual banquet orders will be placed in our hotel..."
Before he finished speaking, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
The always polite procurement director didn't care about etiquette and said, "Furence! Sorry, I'm disturbing you. I have important news..."
Halfway through the important news from the procurement director, Chef Forens interrupted his report, "We already know the news. Moreover, Michelin Samsung and Waldorf's procurement specialist have set off today..."
Looking at the shocked face of the procurement director, the executive chef increased his voice, "Dear Dokcha, you must act immediately. Immediately, hurry to this Tanggula..."
"Do."
"Yes, Tanggulado Farm. You must grab the purchase order and check their management procedures by the way. Do you follow the organic cultivation principle? Do you use pesticides for vegetable cultivation? If it does not comply with the food regulations of our hotel, you will return immediately..."
At this time, the domestic special chef put down the phone and said, "Sorry, interrupt. I just asked a gourmet in the circle. He knew the fresh ingredients of Tanggulado and had tasted it."
"Is it that Zhou? What did he say?"
"He said two words, invincible."
"Very high evaluation." The chef made the decision, "You set off right away."
The domestic special chef frowned slightly, "Chef Furance, he also said that he couldn't buy it at all."
"Can't buy it? It's just a gimmick of publicity. What price is Waldorf's offer, let's follow up."
"It's not a matter of price. It's because the output of their grassland is very limited. Online shopping requires a limit, and it's time to buy it for a few seconds. There is no need to worry about sales at all. Moreover, their wild fruit trees are all the mother tree generation. The cold water fish in the mountains are fed through snow mountain spring water. There are seven or eight vegetable greenhouses, and the daily production is very limited..."
