Fourth Update.
…
In this Gourmet Carnival, in addition to the individual competition, there was also a team competition. This was open to all the hotels, restaurants, and restaurants in Ninghai.
The team competition would determine the top 10 and the top 100, and they would all be given a special signboard. This was an honor and a symbol of class. The best dish, special dish, and so on would also be selected. These were all living signboards.
"Although Fangfeixue is a little small and less famous, we also have our own advantages, so our goal is to enter the top 100 …"
Tang Feifei's goal was quite realistic. In fact, the top 10 of all the large-scale competitions in Ninghai had owners, and all of them were led by famous chefs.
Qin Fang had tasted the Supreme Set Meal cooked by Old Eli, and the taste was quite good. Even Qin Fang, who had intermediate cooking skills, was ashamed of his inferiority, let alone famous chefs like Master Cooking Gu Rongzhi.
In the whole Fangfeixue, other than Qin Fang, Wen Yi, whose cooking skills were now close to intermediate, was the best. Even Qin Fang was ashamed of his inferiority, let alone Wen Yi. Therefore, if Fangfeixue wanted to participate in the competition, it was very reasonable to set their goal in the top 100, although the difficulty was still very high.
Big hotels had their advantages. In addition to famous chefs, there were also some apprentices with good cooking skills and some chefs with their own specialties. The overall level was quite high, so in the team competition, they had a considerable advantage.
Comparatively speaking, Fangfeixue was much weaker. Only Qin Fang and Wen Yi were more reliable. The other chefs were not too bad, but they were definitely not too good. Otherwise, they would not be willing to work in a small restaurant like Fangfeixue.
Of course, because Wen Yi often studied and cooked some special dishes these days, the skills of the chefs had improved a lot. Each of them had one or two specialty dishes.
"I am very supportive of this!
You can participate in both the individual and team competitions. You can also reserve a booth. It doesn't matter if you spend some money, as long as you can make our Fangfei Snow famous … "
Qin Fang roughly read through the brochure from beginning to end. Naturally, he nodded in agreement. Perhaps Fangfei Xue was not particularly profitable, but that was because Fangfei Xue was currently using wages. The main customers were the teachers, students, and some residents near the university town. Compared to places like Ningcui Residence and Lotus Pond Night, it was really much worse.
However, there was no doubt that the F&B industry could also make money. The premise was that it had to be as big and strong as Tang Feifei hoped …
"It's fine as long as we have your support. When the time comes, you will be our main force!"
Hearing Qin Fang's approval, Tang Feifei immediately said with a smile.
Of course, Qin Fang was definitely the main force. Otherwise, with this group of small fries, it should not be a problem to get a single champion. However, if they wanted to rush into the top 100 in the team competition, this was not something that could be done by just one person.
"Wen Yi, this task will be handed over to you. There is still a month to prepare for the Food Festival. You must work hard and improve your cooking skills. Also, try to study a few signature dishes. As long as any signature dish can be on the list of the best dishes and special dishes, you will get a big red packet … Of course, the same goes for the chefs!"
Qin Fang expressed to the chefs present with a smile. The focus was naturally on his disciple, Wen Yi.
After getting along with each other for a period of time, the masters were really quite good to Wen Yi. If it weren't for the fact that they were not young anymore and had already married, it was likely that there would be many people pursuing Wen Yi.
When Qin Fang said this, others might be a little depressed or even angry. However, everyone agreed with him when he said this about Wen Yi. It should be known that now, every chef had a few dishes that were almost as good as Wen Yi's. Some of the regulars who came to Fangfei Xue directly asked for the chef's dishes. This was also because the chefs benefited from Wen Yi's fame. Not only were they not jealous, but they also hoped that Wen Yi could make another breakthrough, so that they could continue to benefit from her.
"Master, don't worry. I will definitely not let you down!"
Wen Yi was gradually becoming livelier now. Perhaps it was because she had been eating a lot better recently. Her face was gradually becoming rosy, and even her flat body had become more plump. This made Qin Fang sigh in his heart. No wonder chefs' bodies were on the plump side.
"Oh right, Feifei, if you have time, ask your brother to help see if there is a suitable place. Since Fangfei Xue wants to become bigger and stronger, just this place alone seems a little too small. If I can make some gains at the Food Festival this time, I want to rent a bigger store and change Fangfei Xue's small restaurant into a big restaurant …"
Originally, Qin Fang was not in a hurry to do this. However, after seeing this Food Festival, Qin Fang felt that it was very promising. It just so happened that he had close to six million yuan on hand. If he directly rented a big restaurant, it would be really difficult to make ends meet. It was still feasible to start by changing to a bigger restaurant.
"Boss, are you … serious?"
Old Niu and the other chefs could not help but ask.
"Of course it's true!
After everything is settled, the chefs will be the founding members of Fangfei Xue. Their salary and treatment will definitely be better. You can completely rest assured! "
Qin Fang understood the chefs' thoughts. Their skills were still able to cope with the current small restaurant, but it would be a little difficult to turn it into a bigger restaurant of a higher grade. They were a little worried that Qin Fang would kick them out. Qin Fang naturally would not do that. Based on the skills that these chefs had learned from Wen Yi, Qin Fang would definitely not let them leave.
The main reason was that he could control Wen Yi's skills, but the skills that these chefs had learned were not something that he could control. He did not want to kick people out and increase the strength of his opponents.
As far as he knew, the person that the people at the Condensed Jade Restaurant wanted to poach the most was Wen Yi. The other chefs also had a little intention of doing so. However, the chefs' treatment was not bad, and they were also self-aware, so they did not agree.
"Leave this matter to me …"
Tang Feifei immediately patted her chest and promised. For someone of her status, this matter was really not difficult.
After the matter was discussed, everyone dispersed. The chefs also helped to tidy up and then went home after work.
Qin Fang then noticed Xiao Muxue sitting alone in the corner. It seemed that she had not spoken all this time. Qin Fang also did not seem to have arranged anything for her. She sat there a little sulking.
"Oh right, Muxue, are you free next weekend?"
Qin Fang naturally understood what Xiao Muxue was thinking. He did not avoid Tang Feifei and asked directly.
"It should be fine!"
Xiao Muxue was slightly stunned when she heard this. Then, she smiled and said. Tang Feifei was a little suspicious. She did not know why Qin Fang asked this.
"Next weekend, I'm going to Nanyue Province. There's going to be a lithium battery industry conference there, and all the world-renowned lithium battery manufacturers will be there. Brother Jiang Nan and I have already contacted a few of them, and we're going to have a meeting with them. If everything goes well, I'll sell the technology that I have …"
Qin Fang did not hide this matter from Tang Feifei. On the contrary, it was the first time that Xiao Muxue knew about this.
"Fang Fang, why don't we keep it for ourselves?"
Tang Feifei could not help but frown. She was very clear about the prospects of the technology. Obviously, compared to selling the technology, the loss seemed to be greater.
"Feifei, the lithium battery project is not a small project. The investment is definitely in the hundreds of millions. Do you think we have the ability to do it?"
Qin Fang gently touched Tang Feifei's nose and smiled. "Also, I just said that this is the first set of technology. In fact, I have already arranged for the laboratory to work on the second set of technology. The first set is just an obsolete product …"
"Oh, you're so bad!"
Tang Feifei was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly regained her senses and smiled happily.
"But why are you bringing Muxue with you?" Of course, Tang Feifei was still a little jealous.
"You little vinegar jar. Have you forgotten which countries the top manufacturers in the world are from?" Qin Fang asked with a smile.
"Oh, I see!
Okay, let Muxue accompany you. That way, she can take care of you!
But … you can't bully Muxue! "
Tang Feifei finally understood. Xiao Muxue was from a foreign language school. She majored in English, but she also knew some Japanese and Korean. Most of the lithium battery manufacturers were from Japan, followed by Korea. Qin Fang brought Xiao Muxue with him to bring an interpreter.
This business was very important. Tang Feifei did not trust Chen Jiangnan, and neither did Qin Fang. If there was no interpreter by his side, who knew if Chen Jiangnan would collaborate with the manufacturers to deceive Qin Fang. Tang Feifei would never allow such a thing to happen. After all, she also knew that Xiao Muxue would not betray Qin Fang.
With Tang Feifei's agreement, Qin Fang could naturally bring Xiao Muxue there openly. In fact, Tang Feifei also wanted to go, but she was busy with the Food Festival, so she could only helplessly compromise.
Things were arranged properly, so the next step was to prepare. They could not fight a battle that they were not confident in, so Qin Fang and Tang Feifei were very serious.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Qin Fang whispered in Xiao Muxue's ear, causing Xiao Muxue's face to blush. She threw a flirtatious look at Qin Fang, which immediately made Qin Fang's brothers a little restless.
Recalling Xiao Muxue's feelings, Qin Fang wondered if he should take this opportunity to eat Xiao Muxue …
