Chapter 499: Rule Changes
"Then why do you come here specifically to eat? You can even use a museum as a restaurant." Zhao Xiaojing put on gloves, picked up the bronze cake from the tray and took a bite. She found that the taste was indeed mediocre. There was nothing special about it except the shape. She took another bite of the ice cream. The milky flavor was quite strong, but she felt sick after two bites.
"It's because he read the marketing account. Alas, my treasure blogger has changed. He has become a marketing account and started to accept advertisements." The fat man shook his head with regret.
"Going to the museum specifically to eat, you know it's marketing, no need to think, but you still don't believe it even if I tell you." Wen Xinyuan sneered.
"It's not always like that. Last time I was in Jiangcheng, I ate the bell-shaped braised eggs in the Jiangcheng Museum, and they were quite good." Guan Yingxia said.
"That should also be made of a mold, right? I think the mold that Fatty just mentioned is not bad. If we want to do this kind of thing again next time, let's just go and order the mold!" Wen Xinyuan slapped his thigh.
"There's no need. Haven't you heard the analysis of Mao Tingxiu's group? If this kind of format happens again, just abandon the theme and don't pursue profit. Just do it according to the customers' preferences." Zhao Xiaojing looked at Wen Xinyuan while studying the patterns of the bronze cake. Seeing that Wen Xinyuan and Guan Yingxia were puzzled, she reexplained yesterday's analysis.
Guan Yingxia frowned upon hearing this. "If that's the case, the production team will definitely change the rules, and they'll have to make major changes. While it's unlikely that the same rules will continue to hold, if loopholes can be found in the current rules after just one round, then the rules for the second round must be completely different from the first."
This analysis woke everyone up from their dreams.
Yes, this is a competition, how come the rules of all three games are similar, and they also give you time to react and let you find loopholes?
"In a team competition, what else can it test besides teamwork and personal ability?" Wen Xinyuan scratched his head in confusion.
"The professionalism of the team." Zhao Xiaojing asked without hesitation the problem that had troubled her last night.
"Um?"
"Sister Mirror, are you already starting to guess questions?"
"Oh, no." Zhao Xiaojing shook her head. "I was just thinking about this last night and was going to ask you. You've all seen the situation over there. The staff are fully staffed, but they only do their jobs. Besides serving food, there's not much service involved. If I want to open a bigger and better restaurant, and I don't want to replace the staff, how can I get them to improve their business, quickly adapt to a better restaurant, and provide more professional service?"
"Training. Although you don't need to go out and eat as much as we chefs do, it's definitely not enough to just learn in the store. You definitely need to see how professional others are. Training is the fastest way." Wen Xinyuan blurted out.
"Then how do we conduct the training? I don't know much about this myself..." Zhao Xiaojing still had no idea.
When the three heard this, they all laughed at the same time.
"Sister Jingzi, you are the boss. If you also understand this aspect, won't you be exhausted to death?" Wen Xinyuan's eyes wrinkled with smile.
"Boss, of course you just need to arrange things, pay the money, make the decisions, and leave the hard work to others." The fat man continued.
Guan Yingxia glanced at the two of them, then turned and pulled Zhao Xiaojing over. "There are professional third-party training institutions in this area. You pay the money and arrange for your employees to study. You can also choose the direction, level, and time of the training. Generally, high-end hotels will regularly organize their management teams to go for third-party training, and they will learn elite courses. This kind of training costs a lot of money, and most of them will sign an agreement with the employees in advance, stipulating that the employees must not leave for a few years before accepting it.
Not only do third-party organizations provide employee training, but if your restaurant or restaurant is high-end and professional enough, you can also hire a third-party testing agency to supervise and evaluate employee work. This way, you can ensure the quality of your employees' work while maintaining your relationship with them. Furthermore, the third party doesn't have a fixed visit time; they only specify a frequency and conduct random inspections, leaving less room for employees to exploit loopholes.
"But your store has few employees, and the cost of customization will be very high. I guess you will have to join other restaurants in attending the regular training courses held by the organization." The fat man added.
"Moreover, these trainings are only suitable for management positions or waiters. For chefs, there is no quick way except to improve their cooking skills through daily practice, eating more and thinking more to slowly understand. The same goes for the kitchen chef team. They can only develop tacit understanding through day-to-day running-in. It is impossible to go from a junior chef to a master chef in just one training class. Therefore, in the chef industry, qualifications are still very important." Wen Xinyuan reminded.
Zhao Xiaojing, who was instilled with new knowledge, said that she had gained new insights in an instant.
After asking Wen Xinyuan for the agency's contact information, Zhao Xiaojing handed the matter over to the store manager Geng Mingyan, asking her to communicate in depth with the training institution, while she continued to focus all her energy on the competition.
…
On the morning of the third day, the fifty chefs gathered again in the hall where they were grouped last time.
After confirming that all the players were present, the staff stood at the front with a serious face and said, "First of all, I have some unfortunate news to announce to everyone and an important rule change.
Our judge, Nan Rongquannan, is elderly and has been very busy judging for several days. After the judging session, he felt unwell and was admitted to the hospital two days ago. The doctor's advice is to receive intravenous drips for three consecutive days and remain in the hospital for observation.
Master Nan Rongquan is a true inheritor of our nation's intangible culinary heritage and the first person willing to break down barriers and share his knowledge. Despite his recent illness, his primary concern remains the promotion of his culinary skills, and he values the preservation of the industry far more than hoarding his skills.
Therefore, after Mr. Nan Rongquan expressed his wishes, the program team discussed overnight and adjusted the following three competition rules:
1. The team points competition will be changed from the top 50 advancing to the top 10 to the top 50 advancing to the top 3.
Second, the top three contestants in the country will compete for the championship, runner-up and third place by learning the lost dishes that Teacher Nan Rongquan spent decades to reproduce.
3. The top ten contestants will continue to receive relevant publicity, rewards, and honors. At the same time, contestants with outstanding performance and who meet the requirements of Teacher Nan Rongquan can also study with the top three.
Simply put, the team rankings competition will continue, but there will be no 10-to-3 round after the rankings competition. The top three will be determined directly based on the rankings. This will not significantly impact everyone, as the original 10-to-3 competition was based on individual points after three team matches plus the 10-to-3 individual rankings. The cancellation does mean that there is a missed opportunity to make a comeback through individual skill, but the production team has also considered that even if an individual skill-based comeback is achieved, the rankings won't change significantly.
