Standing in front of Su Ji's door, Mrs. Porter and her group were still a little surprised. They didn't expect the restaurant to be so lively.
One of them was an old man who came with Mrs. Porter. Although he also had a head full of silver hair, he was full of energy. He looked at the lively scene in the restaurant, then looked around, as if he was trying to confirm whether he had come to the wrong place.
After looking around, the old man said to Mrs. Porter, "Is this really Feng's restaurant?"
Mrs. Porter nodded and said, "Yes, this is his Chinese restaurant, and next door is his Western restaurant."
The old man went on to say, "The scene inside doesn't look like Feng's style at all."
Mrs. Porter smiled and said, "He has indeed changed a lot. Maybe he has changed even more since he was learning to cook with you."
The old man said: "It is indeed very big. Feng used to be a very serious person."
Mrs. Porter said: "He is still serious now, but he has become more cheerful."
The conversation between Mrs. Porter and the old man did not attract the attention of everyone in Su Ji.
After all, the two people were speaking a foreign language. In fact, the people near Su Ji’s door heard it, but because they couldn’t understand it, they didn’t pay attention to it and continued to immerse themselves in excitement and joy.
Mrs. Porter and her group were left outside Su Ji's door for a while.
It was not until Su Liancheng saw Mrs. Potter at the door that he hurried out to greet her.
"Hello Mrs. Potter, I'm sorry we didn't notice you coming."
Mrs. Porter looked at Su Liancheng, smiled and said, "It's okay. We are just curious about why Feng Yifan, the former cold noodle chef, is so excited today."
Su Liancheng came out of the door, attracting everyone's attention in the restaurant.
Zhuang Daozhong and others turned around and saw a group of people standing outside the door.
Shi Jinbin recognized Mrs. Porter immediately, and also recognized the old man who came with Mrs. Porter.
He said to Zhuang Daozhong beside him, "Uncle Master, the woman outside the door is Mrs. Porter. The old man beside her is a recognized international culinary master. It is said that the stars he has won from star-rated restaurants as the head chef add up to more than 40 stars."
Feng Yifan also saw the person outside the door. He put his daughter down from his arms and walked out of the restaurant.
"Teacher Per, I didn't expect you to come."
When old man Per heard Feng Yifan greet him in standard foreign language, he smiled and said, "Feng, your achievement is beyond my expectation. This time, Mrs. Porter and I came here specially to present your restaurant with the Global Restaurant Recommendation Medal."
Feng Yifan then turned around and went back to help his father-in-law out.
"Dad, this is Mr. Per, a teacher who helped me a lot when I was in the most difficult time abroad."
Then he introduced his father-in-law to Per in a foreign language.
Then, Su Jinrong took the initiative to step forward and invite Pearl, Mrs. Porter and others in.
After everyone entered the room, Mrs. Porter, as per the usual practice, first handed the two medals to Feng Yifan.
Quan Jie watched Feng Yifan win two medals at once.
If the medals sent by Zhuang Daozhong and others are counted, he has won three medals at once.
And it can be said that each of these three pieces is extremely important.
In the next year, Su Ji He Ruo Restaurant, like Fu Jing Lou, will be recommended by the International Catering Association and be included in their recommendation list.
At the same time, Su Ji will also have the title of the designated restaurant of "Three Heads Banquet".
As the first designated restaurant for Chinese cuisine, this is an even greater honor.
Quan Jie knew very well that since Zhuang Daozhong had already delivered a sign to Su Ji, the Chinese cuisine menu would soon be announced. By that time, Su Ji would truly gain higher praise and fame.
It seems that Fujinglou really has no way to catch up with Su Ji.
After Feng Yifan received the two medals, he smiled and said, "I never thought that I would receive medals one after another today. This is the biggest gain for our Su Ji and Ruo Restaurant before the Chinese New Year."
At this time, Feng Ruoruo walked to her father's side, held her father's hand with her little hand, and stood on tiptoe to look at the two new medals.
Seeing the two medals in her father's hand, the little girl couldn't help but say, "Dad, these two are very beautiful."
Feng Yifan laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, it is indeed very beautiful. However, the one your great-grandfather sent is much more important."
I have to say that the medals sent by Mrs. Porter and others are indeed more beautiful in style.
The transparent glass base has red patterns and white fonts on it.
It really looks very beautiful.
However, for Feng Yifan, the signboard given by Zhuang Daozhong is still more meaningful.
Per said to Feng Yifan, "We came here today to give you the two recommended medals, and we also want to try your signature dishes."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Sure, Mr. Per, please take a seat first. When we open at noon, we will definitely let you taste our Su Ji's signature dish."
Mrs. Potter also gave a serious explanation.
"The most popular dish here at noon is the chicken sauce Yi Fu noodles. Just that bowl of noodles is enough to be on the recommendation list. Of course, some of the side dishes here at noon are also very delicious."
Per thought for a moment and asked, "Is chicken broth noodles the prototype of the legendary instant noodles?"
Feng Yifan immediately said: "Yes, it can be regarded as the earliest instant noodles."
But then Feng Yifan said, "Of course, there are some differences in the methods. Teacher Per, please try it at noon."
Per nodded, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
Feng Yifan then saw that everyone was still at the door, passing around the medals and talking happily. He also shouted with a stern face.
"Okay, let's all go back to our respective posts. No more business, huh?"
After hearing the chef's words, everyone came back to their senses instantly and stood still obediently with serious faces.
Feng Yifan collected all the medals and placed them on the cashier counter.
Afterwards, he said seriously, "Don't get too excited. Let me tell you, these three brands are both an affirmation of us and a pressure on us all. We must do better to live up to these three brands. Do you understand?"
Everyone responded in unison: "Understood, Chef."
After everyone's voice fell.
Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, the three little girls, belatedly shouted, "I understand, chef dad."
Hearing the little girls' words, the somewhat tense atmosphere was immediately broken.
Everyone looked at the three cute little girls with smiles on their faces.
In the following time, Feng Yifan and everyone in the kitchen started to get busy.
In the kitchen, various things need to be prepared for lunch, among which the soup base is naturally very important.
At the same time, the noodles also need to be prepared.
Now Feng Yifan no longer needs to do these things himself, but can supervise other people in the kitchen to do them, and everyone has a clear division of labor.
So if you watch it in Su Ji, you will feel that the kitchen is really well organized.
Everyone has specific arrangements for what they do. No one will be idle, and no one will be very busy.
While preparations were being made in the kitchen, Su Liancheng was also setting up the meal in the restaurant in front with the waiters.
Although we basically eat noodles at noon, there will be no tablecloth on the table and no many tableware.
However, the tables and chairs still need to be placed properly, and the table top also needs to be cleaned.
Per and Mrs. Porter sat in the dining room, watching the busy work in the kitchen. From time to time he couldn't help but whisper a few words to Mrs. Porter.
"Did you see that? Feng is obviously more skilled now. He can clearly understand how to mobilize everyone and can arrange the kitchen more organized. It seems that he has improved a lot in the past few months since he returned to China."
Mrs Porter responded: "I still prefer the flamboyant and creative shadow chef."
Per laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, a flamboyant personality is of course indispensable. And if you want your dishes to always stand ahead of others, you naturally need creativity. Feng has never lacked these. He is just more introverted and calm now."
At this point, Per pointed at Feng Yifan who was demonstrating how to debone a whole chicken.
“You see, that’s his technique.”
Mrs. Potter stared at it for a while and was also a little surprised: "His skills are still so amazing. He can complete it in such a short time."
Per said: "This is the power of Chinese cuisine. Many Western chefs cannot understand their way of doing things, but in fact, each part of the chicken has a unique use, and in the kitchen, these things need to be processed in a controlled manner."
As Per said, after Feng Yifan finishes deboning the chicken, the chicken racks are used to make soup.
The remaining chicken also has its own uses, so process them separately and put them aside.
Throughout the entire process, Feng Yifan was still able to maintain high efficiency and completed the entire process in more than a minute.
After the demonstration, he handed the rest over to others to do. This is also what Lin Ruifeng and Ning Cheng have been focusing on practicing recently.
The preparation work in Su Ji's kitchen was extremely efficient. Under Feng Yifan's supervision, everything was ready very quickly.
What surprised everyone even more was that Chen Xu was kneading dough in an inconspicuous place.
Per noticed and felt that Chen Xu was very particular about the process of kneading the dough.
In fact, it is indeed very particular.
During the dough kneading process, eggs and chicken soup need to be added in a certain proportion. This proportion needs to be strictly controlled, and the dough also needs to be kneaded well enough.
Although noodles can now be made by machines at Su Ji, it is very time-saving and labor-saving.
However, the process of kneading the dough still needs to be done manually.
Although Chen Xu was very unknown in the corner at this time, Per could still see at a glance that he was the protagonist in the entire Su Ji kitchen at noon.
Finally, Su Ji's kitchen was ready, and Su Liancheng opened the restaurant with the waiters.
At this time, Per saw three little girls wearing specially made Su Ji aprons and going out with another older girl to start distributing snacks.
Per asked curiously, "What is this?"
Mrs. Porter smiled and explained, "This is a feature of Feng's restaurant. His daughter would go out and give out snacks to people in line. Later, it became that every day when people came to Feng's restaurant, the first thing they wanted was to get the girls' snacks."
Pei immediately laughed: "This is very unique."
After receiving the snacks, people at the door started to come in one after another.
Almost as soon as it opened for business, the entire Su Ji was already filled with people.
"Business is booming," Pearl told Mrs. Porter.
Mrs. Porter said, “Yes, business is very good.”
When the seats were full, the waiters began to ask each table for their orders.
Of course, the first customers to enjoy Su Ji’s lunchtime noodles are usually not those sitting in Su Ji, but those lining up for takeout at the Lin’s shop next door.
At the same time that Su Ji started taking orders, Lin’s shop had already started taking takeout orders.
Now Su Ji has its own ordering app, so there is no need to order here.
At noon, many people who are in a hurry will place orders in advance using the mini-program on their mobile phones, and then come directly to pick up their orders by pressing the number.
Although Su Ji does not support takeout, some people can now take the orders back by running errands.
Many diners have asked Feng Yifan if they could use the food delivery platform, but Feng Yifan basically rejected them.
Even the people from the food delivery platform had sent someone to Feng Yifan’s house, but were rejected by him.
The reason is simple. Feng Yifan does not want the platform to take a commission from his own restaurant.
Moreover, if delivery is opened, there will be a lot of orders every day, which is what Feng Yifan does not want to see.
If there are too many orders, it will bring great pressure to Su Ji and will inevitably affect quality control.
So in order to protect Su Ji’s reputation, Feng Yifan refused to connect to the food delivery platform.
Even for his own mini-program, Feng Yifan often controls the amount of takeout to ensure the amount of dine-in at Su Ji and the quality of each portion.
After some waiting, Per's noodles were finally placed in front of him.
Looking at the bowl of noodles in front of him that looked very light, smelling the aroma coming from the surface, Per couldn't help but sigh: "It smells really good."
Later, Per also began to taste this bowl of noodles.
After taking the first bite, Per couldn't stop at all. He slurped and devoured the whole bowl of noodles almost without stopping.
Even because he was using a fork, Per's eating manners were a little bit ungentlemanly and he could only keep picking at the bowl.
But Per didn't care about that and just quickly finished the bowl of noodles.
After finishing the meal, Per let out a long sigh of relief and said to Mrs. Porter, "It's really delicious. No wonder you highly recommend it. This bowl of noodles is really delicious."
Mrs. Porter smiled and said, "As long as you like it, would you like another bowl?"
Per immediately smiled and said, "Of course."
