Chapter 112: Single-handedly Holding a Top Summit for China’s Mathematics Community! (Page 2/3)

After all, as far as he knew, the chefs at these five-star hotels rarely cooked.

Their main job was overall management and strict quality control.

“I came here with Xiaoli last time, and he cooked for us personally. At that time, I gave him some suggestions for improvement. This time, he will prepare the improved dishes for us to taste,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Boss, you’re really awesome! Even the head chefs of five-star hotels ask you for advice!” Su Ming couldn’t help but give a thumbs up.

“The dishes Tang Feng makes are really delicious! I was amazed by them that night,” Yu Li said.

“Boss, with that said, wouldn’t you have more than enough skill to be a head chef at this hotel?” Zhang Hao asked.

“It’s not as simple as you say! Being a head chef is not just about cooking! Cooking is just one aspect of it. The most important thing for a head chef is to be able to manage the entire kitchen team efficiently. With my current abilities, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be up to the task,” Tang Feng honestly replied.

“I think what the boss said makes sense. Not to mention a hotel, even in a school, the one with the highest academic level may not be suitable for the position of principal,” Zhu Zihang said.

“No matter what, the boss’s cooking skills are indeed undeniable!” Su Ming said.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another.

Tang Feng invited everyone to start eating.

As they ate, they listened to Tang Feng critique the dishes.

Everyone listened with keen interest.

Because Tang Feng’s critiques were not only about the dishes but also included some stories behind them.

Some of which were quite interesting.

When they were almost done eating, Chen Yang came in with a glass of wine.

He first toasted Tang Feng and the others.

“Master Tang, how are the dishes you made today?” Chen Yang asked with anticipation after putting down his glass.

“I think there has been a significant improvement compared to last time. Have you served these dishes to other customers?” Tang Feng asked.

“Yes! The feedback from customers who have tasted them has been very good!” Chen Yang answered.

“I also think they are quite good. However, some dishes can still be improved.” Tang Feng then pointed out a few dishes that could be improved, highlighting their deficiencies and suggesting improvements.

In front of so many people, Chen Yang, like a primary school student, took notes diligently with pen and paper.

“Master Tang, I’ve noted down everything you said. I’ll prepare them for you next time you come,” Chen Yang said.

“Let’s talk about that next time! You can continue to serve these dishes to other customers! Although I think the improved dishes will be better, everyone’s tastes are changing. Some very classic dishes have undergone a lot of changes over time. Even the same dish can be different in different regions. You can listen to the feedback from the customers then,” Tang Feng suggested.

“Okay,” Chen Yang nodded.

“The main thing is, this is a five-star hotel, not just a restaurant. If it were just a restaurant, I would hope to stick to classic dishes without changing the recipes too freely. This way, the rate of returning customers might increase. Over time, even customers who live further away might be willing to come to eat,” Tang Feng said.

“What you’re saying sounds simple, but it’s difficult to implement. Not to mention, the recipes for many classic dishes have already been lost. Even if we wanted to, we couldn’t recreate them,” Chen Yang said with a bitter smile.

As a chef, he naturally wanted to promote some classic dishes.

But with some recipes lost, attempting to recreate them was as difficult as scaling the heavens.

“I’m mainly out of time now. Someday, I’ll cook some classic dishes for you to try,” Tang Feng said with a smile.

“Great! Whenever you have time, just give me a call! You can also come to our hotel to cook! Then, our boss can also try them,” Chen Yang readily agreed.

When they were nearly done eating, Tang Feng and the others left the private room.

However, when Tang Feng tried to pay, the cashier at the front desk adamantly refused to take his money.

They said that Chen Yang had already instructed not to accept his money.

If they did, they would definitely be in trouble.

Tang Feng had no choice but to give up.

It’s a pity that mobile payments couldn’t be used.

Otherwise, he could have just scanned a QR code with his phone and transferred the money directly to the other party’s account.

“What are your plans for the afternoon?” Tang Feng asked everyone as they left the hotel.

“How about we go shopping? It’s a good opportunity to go out together, and it’s more fun with more people!” Ning Xiao suggested.

“Sure! I love shopping!” Guan Qian immediately responded.

“Xiaoli, what about you?” Tang Feng asked.

“I’ll go with you guys,” Su Xiaoli replied.

“In that case, let’s go to Chang’an Street and have a look around,” Tang Feng decided.

Soon, they arrived at Chang’an Street.

Chang’an Street was now lined with tall buildings.

Many brand-name stores were located here.

There was also a nationally famous department store.

“Xiaoli, pick whatever you want, and don’t worry about saving money for me!” Tang Feng said generously.

“Your money didn’t come from the wind. Besides, I have money in my card. Dad deposited thirty thousand yuan in it,” Su Xiaoli said.

“Uncle Su is really generous. But having received so many bonuses, I would feel really bad if I didn’t buy you something,” Tang Feng said.

“How about you buy me a piece of clothing?” Su Xiaoli thought for a moment and made a decision.

“Sure!” Tang Feng agreed readily.

They walked along Chang’an Street, visiting one brand store after another.

Tang Feng felt nostalgic seeing these brand stores.

In his memory, many of these brands had disappeared.

Jeanswest, Meters Bonwe, Baleno, and so on.

The relentless tide of time had swept away one brand after another.

Of course, new brands continuously emerged.

For the students, these now-vanished brands were quite good back in their day.

Guan Qian and the others were overjoyed with their purchases.

They hadn’t gone shopping since they started school.

Naturally, they wanted to buy several items now that they had the chance.

Su Ming and the others weren’t empty-handed either.

Not only did they buy things for themselves, but they also helped the girls carry their shopping.

However, far from feeling burdened, they were actually very happy.

It can only be said that men often exhibit potential they didn’t even know they had when in pursuit.

They wanted to show themselves, to give everything for the other person.

They wanted to love passionately, without regret or complaint.

Su Xiaoli originally wanted Tang Feng to buy her just one piece of clothing, but he ended up buying her a whole bunch.
