Chapter 1259 How Cool Is This?
Although the skill of controlling the temperature is the basis of cooking, in fact, there is still no unified standard cooking operation method, and the temperature is indeed crucial to the cooking of dishes.
Therefore, many relevant special research groups have been established internationally.
The special research group under the food chain company that is now attacking Fu Yu on the foreign website was originally established to further compile and publish cooking guides.
It’s just that it has never been truly implemented, and the organization has been established for a long time, so it is inevitable that it will change a little.
After hanging up the phone, Ronald quickly sent the foreign article attacking Fu Yu’s cooking demonstration.
Fu Yu opened the article and read it carefully.
This is not a systematic article, but more like a report that summarizes all relevant comments.
"In the past five years, through our efforts, the summary of skills and experience in controlling the heat has been basically completed. However, before the final promotion and release, we conducted repeated verifications, but found that it was very difficult to list all the detailed operations with accurate data, and the failure rate was very high."
"Especially for the restrictions on the level of cooking skills, some of the contents of the guide need to be further improved and subdivided when cooking some special dishes."
"Once the revision is completed, a more complete cooking guide will be launched. This standardized operation technical guidance and international operation standards will help reduce the difficulty and failure rate in daily use, and also help us communicate and exchange with each other."
"As for the operation proposal of 'judging the doneness of ingredients by heat concentration' that appeared in the cooking academic exchange activities held in China this time, after research and discussion by our special group, everyone agreed that it lacked an identification of industry standards and the formulation of standardized guidelines, lacked a basis for cooking practice, lacked effective support for evidence-based cooking operation data, and could not enter the certification of the international standard system."
A lot of related speculations were listed later, and even many examples were given to prove these speculations.
Fu Yu read it from beginning to end and couldn't help laughing.
The special research team under this food chain company is really interesting. It seems to have said a lot of criticisms and rebuttals in a long article, but in fact the content is just some very impractical academic clichés.
As long as you read the whole article carefully, you will find that many of the seemingly aggressive rhetoric is actually full of loopholes.
In fact, to put it bluntly, it is nothing more than because after Fu Yu's cooking concept was proposed, it would have some adverse effects on their cooking operation summary that sticks to the old conventions.
First of all, Fu Yu's operation of controlling the cooking skills of heat did not follow the traditional designated standards.
The special research team under the food chain company mainly promotes those commonly used operation concepts, but Fu Yu directly innovated the cooking concept on this basis, which made the researchers who summarized the guidelines based on the industry academic standards and failed to successfully complete the promotion very embarrassed.
Secondly, it is nothing more than a direct impact on their interests.
The source of funds for the special research team under the food chain company is actually similar to that of Fu Yu's team.
One is definitely a special grant from the International Gourmet Association, and the other is sponsored by their own chain company.
And such a culinary academic organization that aims to develop a special cooking operation skill guide is still very valued, and has a strong ability to attract money!
Especially for those well-known catering companies, catering institutions that want to enter the international food circle, this is a very valuable thing!
Once a new cooking guide is released, which country develops it will benefit in advance.
In the food circle, which is changing with each passing day and the market is developing very fast, being able to master a new cooking guide in advance means that the overall cooking level of the domestic food circle can be quickly improved, and the catering industry in their own country can be driven up, far exceeding other countries.
Fu Yu not only proposed an innovative cooking concept, but also mentioned in person when demonstrating cooking on the spot that he was ready to carry out the final finishing work of the fire control skill guide.
For the special research team under the food chain company, this is a potential competitor.
They have been developing the guide for so long, but they have not been able to promote it smoothly.
Seeing this, they must be anxious.
This is like Fu Yu suddenly standing up and announcing in public that not only would he not compile and develop the guidelines according to their specified standards, but he even publicly challenged that the content of his own guidelines was far superior to that of the same period.
This would definitely make the special research team under the food chain company feel embarrassed.
Of course, there is actually another reason that cannot be put on the table, which led them to suddenly seize Fu Yu and publicly criticize him.
That is, you have to pick the weak persimmon to squeeze.
If it was Ronald's catering organization that suddenly stood up and announced this innovative idea yesterday, it would definitely attract more international attention.
At this time, it was the unknown Fu Yu who represented his own country, which has a relatively weak reputation in the international food field. Naturally, there would be a big gap in influence and persuasiveness.
Fu Yu finished reading the entire article, leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest. His left hand squeezed the wrist of his right hand completely unconsciously.
Liu Yuqing, on the other hand, sat quietly next to him, watching Fu Yu ponder without making a sound.
She silently took Fu Yu's right hand and put it on her leg, and began to massage Fu Yu's arm seriously.
Fu Yu thought for a while about how he should deal with this situation.
While he was thinking hard, he felt that his sore and numb arms suddenly became lighter. When he came back to his senses, he realized that Liu Yuqing was massaging himself.
"How do you feel? Is it comfortable? I heard someone say before that this is an acupuncture point. When pressed, there will be a feeling of soreness and swelling, which can effectively relieve fatigue." Liu Yuqing smiled softly when she saw Fu Yu looking at her.
Fu Yu nodded: "Well, it's quite comfortable. This arm feels a bit heavy today. Maybe it's because I kept holding the microphone during the meeting and my posture was too fixed."
While massaging, Liu Yuqing asked: "The person who called just now was Ronald, right? It sounds like it was him. What did he say?"
Fu Yu said with a smile: "There is a special research team under a food chain company that finds fault and attacks me on the Internet. Ronald called me specifically to tell me about it."
Liu Yuqing was a little surprised: "Really? Even foreign countries know about your training? But what does this have to do with them? Why are they attacking you?"
Fu Yu smiled: "A big tree attracts wind. They said that I did not follow international standards and that my innovative cooking ideas were not scientific and rational enough."
"They attack me like this online. I definitely can't sit still and wait for death. I just don't know how to fight back."
When Liu Yuqing heard this, she was immediately filled with indignation: "What does it have to do with them! They haven't communicated with you, so how do they know that your ideas are not scientific enough?"
Fu Yu explained: "Ronald said that they are also preparing to develop a summary of cooking heat guides."
Liu Yuqing understood instantly and said speechlessly: "Let me tell you, why are you so good at provoking a fight? I'm afraid you'll touch their cake!"
"Husband, let me tell you, we are not afraid of them! They only know how to talk if they have a long mouth!"
"I think in this matter, we must first improve our cooking skills. I heard my sister say before that every time an international food event is held, our country will learn foreign cooking guide techniques, otherwise they will not Relying on this, what are the so-called international cooking standards?”
"If that's the case, then let's do this cooking operation that they are most afraid of to the best, so that the person in charge of their special research team will be ashamed."
"As for the unscientific nature of this innovative idea they mentioned, we only need to prove that the cooking standards they originally followed actually have deficiencies and loopholes, so that we can better prove that our innovative idea is superior. It’s worth promoting and popularizing!”
At this point, Liu Yuqing's eyes lit up with excitement: "How wonderful this is! Aren't they bullying others and attacking us at will? Then let's defeat them in the field they are best at, and then introduce new ones to make them vomit. Vomiting blood, but there’s nothing we can do about it!”
The next day, Fu Yu went to work at the food stall as usual.
He originally wanted to talk to Li Dongxu about the special research group under the food chain company, but before he could find someone, Li Dongxu hurried over.
Li Dongxu put his hand on Fu Yu's shoulder and pulled him to a deserted corner.
"Xiao Fu, I wanted to contact you last night, but I thought you were a little drunk, so I couldn't bear it until now!"
Seeing this, Fu Yu hurriedly asked: "Chef Li, what happened?"
Li Dongxu said directly: "Before Chef Eric returned to the hotel last night, he received a notice that the head of a special research team of a very famous gourmet chain company in their country had come to China. The person in charge hoped that Eric can help make an introduction and would like to meet you.”
Listening to Li Dongxu say the name of the food chain company, Fu Yu was stunned for a moment: "I actually came here! And the person in charge came in person. It seems that he takes me seriously."
The scale of such international research groups is generally quite large.
Just like the team led by Ronald, there is a leader, deputy leader, and then members responsible for different tasks. There will also be managers in each work area, and they are responsible for organizing the relevant members.
Fu Yu really didn't expect that they would come looking for him.
Being so anxious to interview him must mean that his cooking demonstration the day before yesterday gave them a considerable shock.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t take yourself so seriously.
When Li Dongxu heard what Fu Yu said, he thought he didn't know anything about it, so he angrily told the truth about what Eric had learned yesterday.
"I'm telling you, they have no good intentions at all. They just sprayed you on the Internet, and they came to see you today. What do you think he wants to do?"
Eric himself is the chef of a well-known foreign catering institution, and he also has friends in the special research group of a gourmet chain company.
After he learned the news, he inquired a few more times, only to find out that the other party had already criticized Fu Yu's innovative ideas on the Internet, and even denied the existence value of the cooking guide that had successfully completed the finishing work.
This is a bit too much!
"Xiao Fu, I tell you, you don't have to feel any pressure or worry about this matter. The boss was also present yesterday, and he said at the time that if you don't want to, he will just turn it down, and we can refuse to receive him."
After Li Dongxu finished speaking, he added: "Chef Eric also said that he would stand on your side in this matter. He said that this research group is nothing more than an academic organization in their country, and the influence is also on their side. Those who can really join the organization do not mean that their academic status is high."
After a night, Fu Yu was very calm at this time, but seeing that Li Dongxu was wholeheartedly for him, he was immediately moved.
He deliberately joked: "This is a friend from the international food circle. If you don't entertain him, it will have a bad impact, right?"
Li Dongxu looked indifferent: "What are you afraid of? I tell you, when you reach my age, you will understand. When will it be? As long as you have the ability, you can be fearless."
Fu Yu smiled: "That's right, but let's meet them. At least we can find out what they want to do. What if they suddenly realize that they are rude and want to apologize?"
Li Dongxu saw that Fu Yu did not refuse, so he did not persuade him any more and called Liu Yongping.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, Liu Yongping accompanied Eric and brought two foreigners, a man and a woman, to the Fuchengchun stall.
Li Dongxu answered the phone and hurriedly notified Fu Yu. The two of them made preparations in advance and handed over the work at hand.
It was not yet time for dinner. There were no orders in the kitchen, and they were busy preparing dishes.
Li Dongxu handed over the work in his hands to the kitchen helper, turned around and looked for Fu Yu, and saw that he was instructing Yang Zhichao in every detail.
Yang Zhichao's attitude of following orders was obviously full of respect.
When Fu Yu finished his work, the two walked side by side to the dining area.
Li Dongxu couldn't help but smile and said, "I think, after you finish your training, if you want to stay in the store to work, even if the boss directly arranges you to be the chef, no one will raise any objections, and they will even welcome you with a raise of their hands!"
Fu Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "I don't dare to be a chef. I am a student who joined the class halfway. Fuchengchun has such a large cuisine as Jiangyu Banquet. I am far inferior to the chef in the store. I can see this clearly through Chef Li. I can't be a chef." (End of this chapter)
