"Miss Wen, what do you think about my Wellington steak that doesn't suit your taste?”
Wen Yuanyu sat up straight and revealed a disapproving smile.""I ordered a Wellington steak that's medium-well, but your cooking skills disappointed me. Although your pastry is very fragrant and crispy, it's a little too hot. When she ate it, she could feel that it was slightly burnt.”
"Although your control over the fire is quite good for medium-well beef, the meat outside of a medium-well steak is not dry. Your meat is already a little dry and has gone too far. The meringue and beef are overcooked. You won't pass the Wellington steak at all.”
"Ma 'am, you're being a little too harsh. Different filet mignon steaks needed different cooking time, and chefs needed different time to cook them. You couldn't ask a chef to cook them in a standardized production line, right?”
Ding Weifeng patiently explained to Wen Yuyu because he could tell that Wen Yuyu was here to nitpick.
He had seen this kind of thing before. He had worked in so many hotels and knew that competitors would pick professional gourmets to pick on them, hoping to ruin their reputation.
He was a newly hired chef at Xinghai Hotel, and he was trying to attract customers with his brand name, so he would definitely face the wrath of his competitors.
The guests beside her also felt that Wen Yuanyu had gone a little overboard by causing trouble.
"Ma 'am, chefs are also humans. When cooking delicacies, errors should be allowed. If there was no margin for error, it would be too difficult to become a chef in the entire cooking industry.”
"You're right. I think as long as the taste is good and within a certain margin of error, this Wellington steak is worth the price. A small restaurant can't make this taste at all.”
Wen Yuanyu did not care about the persuasion of the surrounding guests.
"We don't need to use a standardized method to demand chefs. We need to demand chefs with high standards.”
"Since it's medium-well, you should make the meat crispy on the outside and tender on the inside so that the customers can enjoy the best taste. Otherwise, why is there such a big difference between your 2888 yuan Wellington steak and the 300 yuan Wellington steak in some small restaurants?”
"If a steak is made wrongly, shouldn't the chef fulfill his obligation to redo it? Everyone knew that the cost of a Wellington steak was no more than 200 yuan.”
"This 2888 yuan Wellington steak can be made at least 14 times. Can't Chef Ding make the steak that the customer is most satisfied with once out of 14 times?”
"That makes sense."
This time, the people around him expressed their agreement.
Wen Yuanyu could not help but smile.
"Ma 'am, you're right. It's indeed my mistake. I'll make another one for you.”
Ding Weifeng was not angry. He knew that if he were to get angry now, it would ruin the hotel's reputation in front of so many guests. It would be equivalent to fulfilling Wen Yuanyu's wishes.
"Alright, I'll do it. However, Chef Ding, if you make mistakes again and again, it won't be up to your standards. I hope that you can let me taste a perfect medium-rare steak when you bring it over later. It will make me feel that 2888 yuan is worth it.”
"Alright, please wait a moment."
Ding Weifeng went back to the kitchen to redo it.
The other customers were interested.
"Looks like this is a battle between a gourmet and a top chef. I wonder if this chef can defend his honor this time.”
"Just wait and see!"
Even the customers who had finished eating ordered an extra dessert. They all wanted to stay and see what the result was.
"How interesting." Lin Yu was also interested.
Although he had shares in this hotel now, it didn't stop Lin Yu from becoming a bystander.
This time, Ding Weifeng was a little slow in serving the dishes. It took him half an hour to bring the steak over.
"Miss Wen, please have a taste!" Ding Weifeng said confidently.”
"Alright."
Wen Yuanyu tasted a small piece of beef, then put down her knife and fork in disappointment and picked up the wet towel on the table to wipe her mouth.
"Chef Ding, I'm very disappointed. This time, you had no problem with the crispy skin and beef, but you had a problem with the mushrooms.”
"You said that my mushroom sauce isn't good, but I wonder what's wrong with my mushroom sauce?”
"It's a little salty and has affected the taste of the beef.”
"This is impossible."
Just as Ding Weifeng was about to taste it personally, Wen Yuanyu reminded him.
"Chef Ding, you should drink some water before tasting it! I suspect that when you were making the steak just now, you made at least three servings. Therefore, when you tasted it continuously, you might have forgotten to rinse your mouth after each taste because you didn't want me to wait too long. That's why the mushroom sauce is salty.”
The waiter brought over a glass of water. After Ding Weifeng rinsed his mouth, he cut off the other side of the steak. His expression changed slightly."This is bad."
Because chefs often tasted a lot of dishes, their tongues were not as sensitive as before, let alone old age.
In addition, he clearly knew that the other party was here to cause trouble and did not want the other party to wait too long. He laughed at himself for failing several times in a row and neglecting the details in his hurry. Now, he was caught by Wen Yuanyu.
However, although Ding Weifeng was angry, he also admired Wen Yuyu a little. With just this little clue, she could infer that he did not rinse his mouth after tasting it many times in the kitchen, resulting in an error in taste.
