Willow River Hotel.
Feng Qiang, who had been out for a long time after being ordered by Wei Wuliu to investigate whether Li Zhe was raising fish, finally opened the door of Wei Wuliu's office again!
When Wei Wuliu saw Feng Qiang coming in, his heart was shocked and he asked eagerly:
"How about this, does Li Zhe keep fish?"
"Raised."
After hearing Feng Qiang's answer, Wei Wuliu immediately turned pale. His Liuhe Hotel was finished.
Combined with the oranges and vegetables that Li Zhe had provided to Mi Caixuan, Wei Wuliu had reason to believe that the quality of the fish raised by Li Zhe would never be that low. Once Mi Caixuan obtains top-notch ingredients, even if his own chef specializes in meat dishes, he will not be able to offset the difference in ingredients.
This man who has been practicing kitchen knives for decades can never beat a man with a flaming Gatling weapon.
Who are you going to talk to to reason with this? You can't stop people from clicking whatever they want.
If this is the case, if Mi Caixuan has one main dish each for meat and vegetables, then the little advantage of his Liuhe Hotel will be wiped out immediately, and Liuhe Hotel will also die without a burial place.
Wei Wuliu suddenly felt weak all over his body. He collapsed and leaned on the sofa behind him, his eyes filled with despair.
When Feng Qiang saw his boss like this, he quickly said:
"Boss, things are not that bad."
"What do you mean?"
Wei Wuliu couldn't help but get angry when he heard Feng Qiang's words. It's not that bad. You bitch really didn't burn yourself. It's not that bad. So what should be done to make it bad?
However, Wei Wuliu still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, hoping to hear what this bitch Feng Qiang could say. Otherwise, if the Liuhe Hotel collapsed, Feng Qiang would not be much better.
When Feng Qiang saw Wei Wuliu asking a question, he quickly answered:
"Boss, although Li Zhe has raised fish, he has only been raising fish for nearly a month. And..."
When Wei Wuliu heard Feng Qiang's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. The grayness gradually faded away, and the fish he had only raised for a month... Wei Wuliu knew that there were not many fish that could be raised to maturity within a month. Look. Feng Qiang hesitated and continued to ask:
"And what? Say it."
Feng Qiang did not dare to sell out any more and said proudly:
"And...he raises sturgeons."
"What?."
Wei Wuliu suddenly became excited and took a photo on the desk in front of him.
This Li Zhe raises sturgeons. Wei Wuliu knew that the normal growth cycle of this sturgeon was ten years or even longer.
In other words, it takes more than ten years for a sturgeon to grow into a mature fish from birth. Wei Wuliu didn't believe how big Li Zhe could raise the sturgeon in a month. It is estimated that it is still in the state of fry.
In this case, it is impossible for Mi Cai ?
"Is the news reliable?"
Wei Wuliu was still worried and asked Feng Qiang.
"Absolutely reliable. I have called all the fish fry wholesale markets in Jiangcheng. Li Zhe only bought a batch of sturgeon fry from one store. The landlady even persuaded him at the time, so he was quite impressed. I remembered it as soon as I mentioned the landlady. ”
After hearing Feng Qiang's answer, Wei Wuliu felt relieved and said to Feng Qiang:
"Go down, you did a good job this time."
Feng Qiang suddenly felt happy and went out happily.
Wei Wuliu stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looked at Mi Caixuan opposite, his eyes focused, and resentment appeared in his eyes:
"Mi Caixuan, I don't have the advantage of ingredients this time. Let me see how you can compete with me."
······
At this time, Mi Caixuan is welcoming an important guest, Michelin's assessor, Sterling.
Mi Yun, the catering director and the head chef personally stood in the lobby to greet Sterling.
Not long after, a group of three people appeared in the sight of Mi Yun and the others, the leader of which was Sterling, the chief assessor this time.
This Sterling is a typical old Western man, with blue eyes and yellow hair, high cheekbones and a straight bridge of his nose, all of which highlight this message.
However, he was indeed wearing a Tang suit, which made Mi Yun a little surprised.
Sterling is accompanied by only two assistants from Michelin, who are also equivalent to supervisors. This is also a means for Michelin to avoid the collusion between the assessor and the restaurant to achieve certain goals.
"Hello, Mr. Sterling, welcome to Mi Caixuan for assessment."
Mi Yun said politely, neither humble nor arrogant, but then Sterling's fluent Chinese made Mi Yun a little surprised.
"Ms. Miyun, right? Hello."
Seeing Mi Yun's surprised expression, Sterling smiled and said:
"Don't be surprised, Ms. Mi Yun. I have lived in China for more than ten years. I currently work at Michelin China and am responsible for this assessment."
After Mi Yun was slightly surprised, she regained her composure and welcomed Sterling into Mi Caixuan's highest-level box.
There is no point in talking too much. The assessment still has to rely on true strength. If the food in the restaurant is not good, it will be useless to pretend to be good. Mi Yun is very confident in her own food.
Seeing the confident and straightforward attitude of the operator of Mi Caixuan, Sterling showed admiration.
Sterling is an ultimate gourmand who talks about everything with food. He also doesn't like restaurant operators who keep trying to get close to each other, but in the end they can't come up with food that satisfies him.
After arriving at the most upscale private room in Mi Cai Xuan, Sterling looked around. The environment was good and fairly tidy, but that was all. This was a must for every Michelin-rated restaurant. If even this If you can't do it at all, you don't deserve to be included in the Michelin Guide.
I haven't seen any outstanding features yet.
Mi Yun directly introduced the three dishes that Mi Caixuan prepared for this assessment today to Sterling, who was already seated, and the two assistants and supervisors behind him.
The Michelin assessment requires the assessed restaurant to prepare three dishes to accept the assessor's evaluation. The dishes must be the main course, not the fruit plate, appetizers, etc.
And the ingredients cannot be the same, that is to say, if you steam a fish, you cannot make it braised again. If you use the fish head to make a dish, you cannot make another dish with the fish meat.
So what Mi Yun prepared for Sterling today was stir-fried seasonal vegetables, sturgeon sashimi, and a dish of braised lion's head that is Chef Mi Caixuan's specialty.
After introducing today's three assessment dishes to Sterling, Mi Yun stopped talking and glanced at the catering supervisor Lao Zhou. Lao Zhou immediately went down and told the kitchen to start making them.
In order to ensure the maximum freshness of the dishes, Mi Caixuan waited until Sterling was seated before letting the kitchen start making the dishes.
While waiting, Mi Yun also asked the waiter to serve an orange fruit plate. This was also Mi Yun's little idea. Although this orange fruit plate cannot be used as an assessment dish, it can be used as a bonus item.
Sure enough, after the orange fruit plate was served, Sterling could not help but look curious when he smelled the fragrance of the oranges that Li Zhe had grown by watering them with spiritual water. Seeing that there were only a few orange segments in the fruit plate. How can there be a fruit plate with only one kind of fruit?
Mi Yun introduced him:
"Mr. Sterling, this is the specialty fruit plate of our restaurant. Although it cannot be counted as a dish, I believe you will like it."
Sterling was already attracted by the fragrance. When he heard Mi Yun's introduction, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand, took a piece of orange and put it in his mouth. He gently bit the orange in his mouth with his own teeth. He suddenly felt excited. A strong sweet and sour taste and juice filled his entire mouth. As the juice flowed into his stomach, Sterling suddenly felt extremely comfortable.
This may be the most delicious fruit plate among all the restaurants he has ever eaten in, even restaurants rated by Michelin. This orange instantly won Sterling's favor.
Sterling quickly motioned to the two supervisors next to him to try the food. This is a necessary process. All dishes that have been increased in value are the fruit plates provided by the restaurant, etc., and the chief evaluator and the two supervisors need to try them all to avoid deviations. Finally, It is mainly based on the opinions of the chief evaluator, supplemented by the opinions of the two supervisors, that determines the fate of a restaurant and whether it can rise in the Michelin ranking or even get a star.
Generally, the opinion of the chief examiner shall prevail. However, if the opinions of the two supervisors are contrary to the opinions of the chief examiner, then the opinion of the chief examiner will not be adopted.
After eating the orange fruit plate, the two supervisors' eyes lit up. Just based on the orange fruit plate, they had a good impression of this restaurant called Mi Caixuan. They couldn't help but be interested in the next assessment dishes provided by Mi Caixuan. Start looking forward to it.
Mi Yun felt happy when she saw their expressions. Her goal was achieved.
However, this method of gaining favor is not applicable to everyone. If the taste of your next assessment dishes can meet the standards of the assessor and supervisor, then the fruit plate in front of you will naturally be a bonus. If the subsequent assessment dishes If the taste is not good, then the fruit plate will have a counterproductive effect. The huge gap will make people think that your restaurant only relies on the fruit plate to gain points.
But Mi Yun has no such worries. She knows her own dishes. Even if she doesn't believe in herself, she still has to believe in Li Zhe. He provides all the ingredients.
Thinking of that man, Mi Yun was instantly filled with confidence. She must make Mi Caixuan a higher level in this assessment, otherwise she would be very sorry for the ingredients that the man provided her.
Mi Yun didn't want to let Li Zhe down.
