As time went by, we entered the twelfth lunar month unknowingly.
The kindergarten is also about to have a holiday. Before the official holiday, the kindergarten awarded awards to Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi, Chen Yaofei, and other children who performed well in the kindergarten this semester.
Feng Ruoruo was so happy to receive the award from the kindergarten.
This is the first time that Feng Ruoruo has received an award from the kindergarten.
When Feng Ruoruo returned to Su Ji holding the doll embroidered with a big red flower, she couldn't wait to rush to the kitchen, wanting to show it to her father first.
"Dad, Dad, please come and have a look. The headmistress of the kindergarten has given me a commendation."
Feng Yifan was busy in the kitchen, preparing food for tonight's Su Ji and Ruo restaurants. When he heard his daughter calling him, he immediately came out of the kitchen.
Seeing his daughter holding her hands high above her head with a doll with a big red flower hanging on her chest, Feng Yifan was very happy for his daughter.
"That's great! Our little baby Ruoruo is really amazing."
Feng Ruoruo was also very happy to hear her father's praise: "Hahaha, Dad, do you know? This is the first time that Ruoruo has received an award. She has never received one before. Ruoruo is so happy."
Feng Yifan picked up his daughter and said with a smile: "Dad knows, as long as Ruoruo is happy, our Ruoruo is the best, and she will definitely receive more awards in the future."
Feng Ruoruo thought for a moment and said, "Dad is wrong, that's not right."
Feng Yifan asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "Because we won't be going to kindergarten soon, so there won't be many awards for us."
When Feng Yifan heard his daughter say this, he smiled and said, "Although Ruoruo doesn't go to kindergarten anymore, she can still get awards in school after she goes to school. There will be elementary school, middle school, high school, and finally college in the future. As long as Ruoruo works hard, she will definitely get awards."
Feng Ruoruo heard her father say this and felt that it was indeed true. She nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, okay, Ruoruo must work hard."
At this time, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also came back with everyone.
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei ran over and said breathlessly: "Ruoruo, you run too fast."
Feng Ruoruo said with a smile: "Because Ruoruo wants to show Daddy the reward I got as soon as possible."
Then, Feng Ruoruo said to her father, "Dad, look, Xixi and Feifei also got rewards. The three of us all got a doll."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei also raised the dolls in their hands.
Feng Yifan took a look and found that the dolls of the three little girls were indeed the same.
He put his daughter down and asked curiously, "What kind of reward is this?"
Lu Cuiling came back and took out the certificate and said, "Ruoruo, Xixi and Feifei, the three of them won the title of the most expressive children in the kindergarten because of their participation in the New Year's Day performance."
Feng Yifan took the certificate handed to him by his mother, looked at the words on it, and found it very interesting.
"The old director is really good at planning. There is even such an award."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "In fact, every year the kindergarten has the best expressive child, the most popular child, the most disciplined child, and the best child in the kindergarten."
Feng Yifan asked curiously: "Then why aren't our Ruoruo, Xixi and Feifei the best children?"
At this time, Yang Zhiyi smiled and raised the extra certificate in his hand and said, "I'm sorry, there is only one best child every year, and our Xixi won it."
Feng Ruoruo held her father's hand and said, "Dad, Xixi has the most red flowers, so she is the best child."
Chen Yaofei also said beside her: "Yes, Xixi is so amazing."
Feng Yifan looked at Yang Xiaoxi, smiled and gave the little girl a thumbs up: "Amazing, I didn't expect our Xixi to be so good. It's great to be awarded the title of the best child."
Yang Xiaoxi felt a little embarrassed by what she said.
Seeing the shy look of the little girl, Feng Yifan said, "Xixi, don't be embarrassed. This is a good thing. It shows that our Xixi is very good. So tonight, let Xixi order the dishes. We will make a delicious meal for Xixi to celebrate Xixi winning the Best Child Award."
Hearing this, Feng Ruoruo was the first to raise her hands and cheer: "Great, great."
Chen Yaofei followed up and said, "Okay, let Xixi order the dishes."
Yang Xiaoxi felt even more embarrassed.
"No need, let's order together."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Xixi, don't be shy. This is the reward for our best kid today. So Xixi, just order whatever you want. Daddy Feng will make it for you tonight."
After being told this, Yang Xiaoxi still felt a little embarrassed.
She turned her head and looked at her father and grandparents.
Seeing his daughter looking at him, Yang Zhiyi smiled and encouraged her, "It's okay, just order whatever you want. You are the star today, and Father Feng has promised you, so you can order whatever you want."
Grandpa and grandma naturally support it.
Especially Lu Cuiling said with a smile: "Xixi, be bold, today I will make your father Feng bankrupt for once."
Yang Xiaoxi quickly said, "No, no, I don't want Mr. Feng to go bankrupt."
Seeing Yang Xiaoxi waving her hands, looking a little flustered.
Everyone thought it was very interesting, and then Feng Jiandong said, "Don't listen to your grandma Lu's nonsense. Just order what you want to eat. Your father Feng will definitely not go bankrupt. Father Feng is very capable."
Feng Ruoruo also stepped forward and pulled her little sister and said, "Xixi, you order whatever you want. Everything is fine."
Chen Yaofei said: "Xixi, what do you order?"
Seeing that her sisters were also encouraging her, Yang Xiaoxi finally plucked up her courage, turned around and looked up at Father Feng. The little girl said seriously, "Father Feng, I want to eat lots of different snacks with Ruoruo and Feifei, is that okay?"
Yang Xiaoxi's request stunned everyone.
Is this just for snacks
Feng Yifan thought about it, and suddenly said with a smile: "I understand. Our Xixi hopes to have a big meal of dim sum, a banquet made of dim sum, right?"
Yang Xiaoxi nodded and asked, "Father Feng, is it possible?"
Feng Yifan nodded and replied: "Sure, then I'll agree to Xixi's request and prepare a table of snacks tonight."
After agreeing, Feng Yifan immediately called to the kitchen: "Chen Xu, Luo Yu."
The two people also subconsciously agreed: "It's the chef."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "I'll have to trouble you two tonight to prepare a table of snacks for our little friend Yang Xiaoxi."
When they heard about preparing a dim sum banquet, Chen Xu and Luo Yu looked at each other, as neither of them actually had any idea about it.
But since the chef agreed, and also saw the expectant eyes of the three little girls.
Chen Xu and Luo Yu also agreed naturally.
"Okay, let's prepare a snack feast for Xixi, Feifei and Ruoruo tonight."
At this time, Yang Xiaoxi's grandmother Wen Hong couldn't help but ask: "Will it be bad to just eat snacks at night?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied, "No, there are many kinds of dim sum. Since we are going to prepare a dim sum banquet, we should talk about it in a broad sense. For example, some buns, dumplings, siu mai and the like can actually be considered dim sum. Tonight, Chen Xu, Luo Yu and I will demonstrate them."
After getting this answer, the three little girls were the happiest. They raised the dolls in their hands and cheered.
"Dad is great, Uncle Chen is great, Aunt Luo is great."
"Father Feng is great, thank you Uncle Chen and Aunt Luo."
"Thank you Uncle Chen and Aunt Luo, you are just as great as Father Feng."
Hearing what the children said, Feng Yifan, Chen Xu and Luo Yu were all smiles, and then they began to prepare in the kitchen.
What about the little girls? They followed their grandparents to the backyard of the Lin family shop next door.
The little girls prepared to change their clothes and then go out together to distribute snacks.
Although the kindergarten is closed today and the three little girls have received awards from the kindergarten, the activity of distributing snacks in the evening is still important for the children.
When the little girls went next door, Chen Xu and Luo Yu finally got close to Feng Yifan.
Chen Xu asked directly in a low voice: "Chef, how do we prepare this dim sum banquet?"
Luo Yu then asked: "Do you make all kinds of Chinese and Western snacks?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "This requires you two to use your imagination. Don't limit yourself to the dim sum you know. And because it's a dim sum banquet, we want the children to taste everything, so we need to make the dim sum relatively small, similar to the shape of dishes."
Without waiting for Chen Xu and Luo Yu to speak, Feng Yifan added: "This is a great opportunity for you to show your talents. This time you are making it for the children, it is just an experiment. If there is a chance in the future, maybe our Su Ji can launch a special dim sum banquet for more people to see."
Shi Jiahui came over and said with a smile: "This is indeed a good opportunity. It will allow you to make better progress."
Catherine also said: "Making dim sum into dishes and having a banquet made entirely of dim sum is indeed very trendy. Chen Xu and Luo Yu, you two should keep up the good work."
After hearing the words of the head chef and the two deputy chefs, Chen Xu and Luo Yu were suddenly filled with fighting spirit.
Dim sum banquet is indeed a rare thing, and many people may not have heard of it.
So it is almost impossible to find a very standard example to copy.
So now, it can only be conceived and created by Chen Xu and Luo Yu themselves.
What Feng Yifan said did give Chen Xu and Luo Yu a glimmer of hope, that is, one day in the future, perhaps they could launch the dim sum banquet, and then Chen Xu and Luo Yu might really become famous overnight.
Chen Xu and Luo Yu looked at each other again, and then they began to prepare tacitly.
When Feng Yifan saw the two of them making plans and preparations, his face was filled with joy.
Shi Jiahui came over and said with a smile: "It seems that the chef does have some skills. He knows how to arrange everyone and mobilize their enthusiasm."
Feng Yifan turned his head and looked at Shi Jiahui and responded, "Big Sister, actually I didn't think of it at first. I just thought of it today when I heard Xixi's order. If the dim sum banquet can really be successful, wouldn't it give Chen Xu and Luo Yu a very suitable opportunity to show off?"
Shi Jiahui nodded: "That's true. A banquet made entirely of dim sum is indeed very novel."
Feng Yifan added: "Not only is it novel, it also poses a problem for Chen Xu and Luo Yu, because there are no other dishes, only dim sum is used to replace the dishes, so it must be made exquisitely, and at the same time it must be in the form of a dish, and the key is that the quantity cannot be too much."
Catherine asked curiously: "So is it mainly Chinese or Western style?"
Feng Yifan said: "It doesn't matter whether it's mainly Chinese or Western style, it depends on how Chen Xu and Luo Yu perform."
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "It seems that our chef is really getting better and better at being a chef."
This was a joke, but it also shows that Feng Yifan now does more of his own work in the kitchen, and perhaps he doesn't give others many opportunities to show off.
They are like the two most popular dishes at Su Ji recently.
Braised pork head, improved from the roasted whole pig head.
An improved and simplified fish head pot with disassembled and stewed silver carp head.
In the beginning, Feng Yifan basically did everything himself to ensure that the taste was good enough. In recent times, because there were many people placing orders, Feng Yifan began to ask his senior sisters and apprentices to help.
Shi Jiahui said, "Chef, you are the chef. It is enough for you to create new dishes. It is also right for you to try your hand from time to time. But there are many things that need to be given to us and let us try them. Only in this way can we improve."
After hearing what the senior sister said, Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Okay, senior sister is right."
Shi Jiahui added: "I think it's good that you let go of Ruo Restaurant, but when it comes to Su Ji, you always interfere too much."
Feng Yifan could only continue to agree: "Well, it is indeed a bit much."
But then Feng Yifan added: "But at Su Ji, no matter what, I am also the chef, so can't I interfere?"
Shi Jiahui said: "So, you should give us more guidance and teach us what to do."
This time, Feng Yifan finally understood what the senior sister meant.
"Okay, okay, I understand. It's my fault for not guiding you properly. Mainly because sometimes I feel that the work of my apprentices is too slow, and I can't help but want to intervene."
Shi Jiahui said: "As a result, Xiaolin and Xiaoning have made very slow progress during this period."
Feng Yifan thought about it and realized that it was indeed as the senior sister said.
During this period, Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng's progress was a bit slow. Although they had never lost the basic skills, they always seemed to lack experience in dealing with matters in the kitchen.
After being reminded by the senior sister today, Feng Yifan realized the problem.
As a master, he did not teach his three apprentices enough, because he was busy researching new dishes and preparing for the three-head banquet, which made him neglect his apprentices a little.
Feng Yifan looked at his three disciples. Ma Xiaolong had followed him for several years, so there was no need for him to explain many things.
Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng are just getting started and really need more teaching from him.
As a result, during Su Ji's business hours tonight, because of Shi Jiahui's reminder, Feng Yifan began to strictly supervise Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng, and would also give some pointers to Ma Xiaolong from time to time.
The three disciples were a little confused by the master's sudden concern, and they were a little nervous the whole night.
