A happy morning passed quickly. The children played in the community until almost noon. Feng Yifan and his friends took the three little girls to Su Ji in the ancient street.
When you arrive at the intersection of the ancient street, you can see that the snow on the ancient street has been cleared.
It was the cleaners of Huaicheng who came out early in the morning to clear the snow.
Feng Yifan looked at the clean ancient street, took out his mobile phone to take a photo, and then posted a Weibo post which was his last post of the year.
"I came to the ancient street at noon and saw that the street was very clean. The snow had been cleared away. I am really grateful to the hard-working cleaners. On this day before the Spring Festival, when you should have been resting, you are still working so hard. Although I can't see the beauty, I still want to say 'thank you'."
Then Feng Yifan added another line at the end: Although Su Ji is no longer open today, if the cleaners need it at noon, they can come to Su Ji for a free meal. "
After posting this Weibo, Feng Yifan also specifically tagged the local municipal Weibo of Huaicheng.
Of course there are also local TV and radio stations, as well as Meng Shitong and their Weibo accounts.
Feng Yifan originally tagged these people in the hope that they would help spread the word so that the cleaners busy in Huaicheng today could see it, and then all the cleaners who could come to Su Ji could come over.
But he underestimated the influence he now has on the Internet.
After he posted this Weibo, it spread across the Internet almost instantly.
Soon, Feng Yifan received a call.
"Hello, is this Chef Feng?"
Feng Yifan quickly responded: "Yes, it's me."
"Oh, Chef Feng, we saw your Weibo and know your intentions. If it's convenient for you, we hope you can prepare lunch boxes. We will arrange for someone to collect them later and distribute them to all the cleaners who are cleaning the city today."
Feng Yifan didn't expect that his Weibo post would receive such a response, and so timely.
He was stunned for a moment, and then asked about the other party's identity.
After asking, I learned that the other party was the unit responsible for the cleaners, and they had a complete set of shifts. Did they know how many cleaners were at work today and which areas they were responsible for
After listening to the other party's introduction, Feng Yifan immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, please give us some time. It's 11:30 now. Give us an hour. At 12:30, you can all come and pick it up. Do you want noodles or fried rice?"
The other side responded by saying that since Su Ji’s classic dish is noodles, then they should just make noodles in a unified way.
Feng Yifan naturally agreed immediately.
After hanging up the phone, everyone's eyes were on Feng Yifan. No one quite understood what had happened.
Afterwards, Feng Yifan told everyone what had happened.
After listening to Feng Yifan's story, Shi Jiahui immediately said, "Hahaha, this is a good idea. I was just thinking, how can we thank the cleaners for cleaning the entire ancient street so cleanly early in the morning?"
Catherine agreed immediately: "It's really a good way to express gratitude."
Su Jinrong said: "Okay, if that's the case, let's hurry up and get the things out as soon as possible."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, let's go. Let's make a special meal for the cleaners today."
Everyone immediately became very busy, even the families of Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei wanted to join in.
Yang Zhiyi said: "This way, if the finished product needs to be delivered to a distant place, I can also drive to help deliver it."
Chen Shoulin said: "Then let's all help to pack the food and try to ensure that the cleaners can eat hot noodles."
Feng Yifan said: "Oh, I wonder if we have enough incubators?"
Li Feier said at this time: "However, we can collect funds from all over the city and ask everyone to help. We should be able to gather the funds."
At this moment, Meng Shitong called and said that they could help contact the special delivery personnel.
Feng Yifan heard this and said, "Okay, let's hurry up."
So, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, at noon after a heavy snowfall, everyone at Su Ji started to get busy, helping to make portions of chicken sauce Yi Fu noodles and packing them very carefully.
In order to ensure that the noodles are not over-soaked, the cooked noodles, side dishes, and soup are all packed separately and then divided into portions.
While Su Ji was making intensive preparations, teams soon arrived at Su Ji one after another.
The team that came was a team of jockeys that previously specialized in delivering takeout food.
These jockeys could have taken a few days off during the Spring Festival, but after someone saw Feng Yifan’s Weibo and spread the news among their jockey circle, they spontaneously organized themselves and took the initiative to help deliver meals to the cleaners.
The leader entered Su Ji and said, "Chef Feng, don't worry, we have special things to keep things warm, and we will try our best to make sure all the cleaners can eat hot noodles today."
Feng Yifan said: "Thank you everyone, I guess you haven't eaten yet, right? Sit down and have a bowl of noodles first, and then I'll serve it."
The jockeys were about to refuse, but Feng Yifan said, "Don't worry, because we don't have the number of cleaners and the distribution area yet, we can't send them randomly, so everyone sit down and eat first, and then we will assign tasks after the number of cleaners and the distribution area are delivered."
After hearing this, the jockeys sat down and ate obediently.
While the jockeys were eating, many more people came over one after another.
Many of them came over on their own initiative to help deliver the food.
Then Meng Shitong and the staff in charge of cleaning finally arrived.
Next, the number of cleaners and their distribution areas are marked out.
Then, everyone started to assign the task of delivering meals.
Those that are closer are handed over to delivery jockeys, while those that are farther away are handed over to drivers who drive over.
This very heartwarming meal delivery, initiated by Su Ji, soon evolved into a meal delivery campaign that mobilized almost the entire city of Huaicheng.
The meals were not only delivered to the cleaners in Huaicheng, but also to the professional snow removal workers, and even to the highways.
The entire meal delivery process lasted until after three in the afternoon.
Finally, the news was received and all the noodles were delivered successfully.
After getting the news, the entire Su Ji was in an uproar, and everyone was cheering happily together.
The three children, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, were also very happy and danced. Although they are still young and cannot understand some of the touching moments, they were indeed infected by the atmosphere.
Soon the local newspapers came to visit, and naturally the local TV stations also came to interview.
However, Feng Yifan always refused, saying that it was just a small matter.
This lunchtime trip was a spur-of-the-moment idea, but with everyone's help, the heartwarming meal delivery was finally completed. Although Feng Yifan refused to be interviewed, it still became a hotly discussed topic on the Internet and in society.
They were even praised by many official Weibo accounts, which once again made Feng Yifan and Su Ji famous.
After seeing off everyone who came to help and those who wanted to interview him, Feng Yifan finally led everyone to start preparing for tomorrow's New Year's Eve dinner.
However, everyone is still immersed in the joy of having done such a great thing.
Seeing this, Feng Yifan could only act like a chef.
"Alright, alright, everyone, stop discussing this. We still have a lot of things to do next. It's the Spring Festival. This time we will definitely celebrate together at Su Ji. With so many people, I believe that there may be even more people coming during the New Year. So, we still need to prepare the menu."
As a result, Su Jinrong directly said: "What menu are you preparing, Yifan? I think you have been getting a little too into your role as chef recently."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised when he heard this: "Dad, is there something wrong with me?"
Su Jinrong said: "Of course not, the Spring Festival should be a day for family reunion and happiness, so don't stick to the way those restaurants cook, there is no need for a menu, our Su Ji kitchen is so big, and there are so many ingredients you prepared in advance, we have more people this year, so everyone can come up with a dish.
Regardless of whether it is the chefs in the kitchen or other families, regardless of what dishes everyone can cook or whether there will be repeated dishes, in a word, everyone can cook and give free rein to their creativity, and in the end we all cook a New Year's Eve dinner together, this is the New Year."
After hearing Su Jinrong's words, everyone applauded and everyone agreed with his arrangement.
Shi Jiahui smiled and said, "Hahaha, Uncle Master is indeed amazing. He knows what our favorite form is?"
Su Jinrong asked: "Jiahui, will your father come over?"
Shi Jiahui said: "Of course, my dad will definitely come over. He should be here in the afternoon. Let my dad cook one of his specialties."
Su Jinrong said: "Of course, your father is a serious state banquet master, of course your father is needed to cook a dish."
Chen Shoulin smiled and said, "You have a lot of chefs for state banquets here. How can the dishes we cook compare to them?"
Yang Huaicheng also agreed with this point and felt that the dishes they cooked were indeed not up to par.
Su Jinrong said, "My dear friends, what does this matter? We should be happy during the Chinese New Year, so don't be too rigid about the formalities. As long as you can do it, it's fine. There's no need to pursue whether it's a state banquet or not. To be honest, I'm not a state banquet chef."
Chen Shoulin smiled and said, "Brother Su, although you are not a state banquet chef, you have trained a more powerful chef."
Su Jinrong also laughed when he heard this: "Hahaha, Yifan is his own ability."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It's okay. During the Spring Festival, everyone is a chef. Everyone can cook to their heart's content in Su Ji's kitchen. We can just enjoy the process together."
At this time, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei immediately rushed to Feng's father hand in hand.
"Dad (Feng's father), we have to cook too."
Feng Yifan laughed when he saw the three little cuties: "Hahaha, good, you three can't be left out. Since grandpa has said that everyone should participate, I will definitely let you three participate. Daddy will lead you to do it together."
Chen Shoulin said at this time: "How about this, during this New Year, our three families will each do it. Our family will do it with Feifei, Xixi's family will do it with Xixi, and Ruoruo will do it with her father. Isn't this way everyone will participate?"
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei agreed immediately after hearing this, and both wanted to do it with their parents and grandparents.
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "This is also a good idea. Each of our three families will serve a dish represented by their children."
Tian Lang immediately said, "Then our family will also serve a dish as a family unit."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "You are obviously being lazy on purpose. You have two chefs at home, but you only serve one dish. How can that be justified?"
Tian Lang was not convinced and said, "Uncle, you are not right. You are bullying me. Your family has so many chefs, and you are a top chef, and there is also a chef like Grandpa Su. How come your family can only make one dish?"
Feng Yifan said: "In our family, Feng Ruoruo prepares one dish, and then my grandfather and I have to cook other dishes."
Su Jinrong said with a smile: "Yes, this is how we serve our food at home."
Tian Lang said: "Well, I can ask my mother to cook another dish for me."
Shi Tao said at this time: "I will also try my best to cook a dish."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, that's more like it."
Then he looked at Tian Lang again.
Facing Feng Yifan's gaze, Tian Lang finally pouted helplessly and said, "Uncle, you are so mean. You just knew you wanted me to cook a dish. Okay, I'll cook it, but I want my mom to help me. I'm not very good at cooking."
Feng Yifan laughed: "Hahaha, of course, as long as you do it."
Su Ji was filled with laughter and joy, and everyone was discussing and thinking about what dishes to cook.
At the same time, Su Liancheng and Mei Ru had already driven to pick up Su Lanxin.
At the train station, some people also came to Huaicheng one after another, including Shi Jinbin and Feng Yifan's grandfather.
As for Feng Jiandong, he was also driving here.
This was destined to be an extraordinary Spring Festival for Feng Yifan and everyone else.
But this is destined to be just an ordinary Spring Festival for everyone.
Because maybe in the future, everyone will gather at Su Ji during the Spring Festival every year and celebrate the Spring Festival together in the same way.
It was as if when Su Quansheng was alive, every Spring Festival, his disciples would either bring their families or stay alone in Su Ji. Each of the brothers would prepare a specialty dish of the year, and finally put together a table of dishes, and celebrate the Spring Festival happily at Su Ji.
Today, such a tradition should be restored, and this tradition has changed and will be more heartwarming in the future.
