After Lin Ruifeng became an apprentice, he originally planned to stay at home and help his parents pack up the breakfast shop before going to Su Ji, but his parents pushed him directly to Su Ji.
Lin Youjian said seriously, "Isn't it next door? Your mother and I are really too busy, so we will ask you to come back. When you go to Su Ji, remember to follow your master and don't cause trouble for him."
Lin Ruifeng also nodded seriously and agreed: "Okay, Dad, I know, I will definitely study hard."
Seeing Uncle Lin's firm attitude, Feng Yifan had no choice but to say, "Okay, then let Ruifeng come with me. If Uncle Lin is too busy, remember to go and call him."
Lin Youjian smiled and said to Feng Yifan: "Don't worry, my old bones can still do it."
Feng Yifan then took Lin Youjian back to Su Ji.
As soon as she entered the door, the daughter immediately rushed to her father, hugged him and said with a smile: "Dad, Ruoruo told you that grandma said she wants to stay and let grandpa go back alone. Grandma will stay to accompany Ruoruo."
Feng Yifan picked up his daughter and said with a smile, "Really? Grandma wants to stay with Ruoruo? That's great. Ruoruo will be taken care of by grandma in the future."
The little girl continued happily in her father's arms, "Yes, grandma can take Ruoruo to kindergarten in the future, so that dad can concentrate on making money in grandpa's restaurant."
When Lu Cuiling heard her granddaughter say this, she smiled and said, "Well, you money-grubber, it turns out that letting grandma stay here won't hinder your dad from making money."
When Feng Ruoruo heard her grandmother's words, she opened her arms to her grandmother in her father's arms and said coquettishly, "Ruoruo likes grandma. Grandma will pick up and drop off Ruoruo. Ruoruo will be the happiest child in the kindergarten."
Feng Yifan watched his daughter open her arms to her grandmother, so he carried his daughter to her grandmother and let her throw herself into her arms.
Lu Cuiling took the little granddaughter from her son's arms, hugged her and said, "Your little mouth is really getting better and better at talking. It makes grandma very happy. You are really a good granddaughter."
Seeing that the family was having a great time, Feng Yifan decisively called his apprentice Lin Ruifeng and went to the kitchen together.
After entering the kitchen, Feng Yifan first took a look at the braised pork that had been cooked and pressed yesterday morning.
Lin Ruifeng also followed curiously and saw two large trays pressed together. The lower tray was full of cooked meat. When he got closer, he could smell a strong aroma.
Feng Yifan did not lift the tray, but checked it carefully and did not move it.
Lin Ruifeng stood aside and watched, and couldn't help asking: "Master, what is this?"
Feng Yifan stood up and answered, "This is braised pork. It's not ready yet. We have to wait until the jelly is completely solidified before it's considered done. We can't open it now."
Lin Ruifeng then asked: "Why do you want to press it like this?"
Feng Yifan also gave an answer: "This is to shape it. The braised pork must be made from the front elbow of the pig. After cooking, it must be evenly flattened, but the cooked elbow is relatively loose, so it must be pressed like this to make it firm."
Lin Ruifeng nodded after hearing this.
After Feng Yifan explained, he patted Lin Ruifeng on the shoulder, took him to the cooking table, and first introduced him to the things in the kitchen.
“You have to remember that the kitchen must be kept clean and tidy. Everything must be sorted and placed properly. Whether it is pots, pans, or various tableware, everything must be prepared before cooking.
In addition, you must have an idea of what dishes you need to cook every day, and prepare some of the ingredients in advance, and some can even be pre-processed. Only by doing the preparation work in an orderly manner can you be more efficient when cooking. "
While walking around the kitchen, Feng Yifan introduced each item to Lin Ruifeng.
Finally, in front of the stove, Feng Yifan took out two metal buckets. He opened the lids of the buckets and said, "These two are used to make soup. Soup is a must for many dishes, so the first thing to do in the morning is to make soup."
As Feng Yifan spoke, he had already started to work. While explaining to Lin Ruifeng, he quickly selected the ingredients and condiments for making the broth, processed them quickly, put them into a metal bucket, poured in water, and placed it on the stove to start making the soup.
The whole process went smoothly. Lin Ruifeng, who was watching from the side, was a little dazzled. He felt that everything seemed very simple and easy in Feng Yifan's hands.
But Lin Ruifeng knew very well that although it seemed simple and easy, it was actually not that simple.
The processing of ingredients used for making soup, the selection of various ingredients, the amount of water to add, and after boiling over high heat, the heat needs to be adjusted in time and the floating foam needs to be skimmed off.
This series of processes is really extremely tedious and complicated, and it cannot be mastered in a day or two.
After preparing the broth, turning down the heat and letting the soup simmer slowly, Feng Yifan took Lin Ruifeng to prepare some other ingredients.
"Remember, you must be careful and serious when washing, and there must be no dirt. Also, you need to remember that different ingredients require different washing methods, and these need to be learned and mastered slowly."
Lin Ruifeng also washes vegetables at home on a regular basis, but he never thought that there would be so many details to pay attention to when washing them.
And while following Feng Yifan in washing, he felt that the vegetables at home were not washed as carefully and cleanly as Feng Yifan's.
This morning, although Lin Ruifeng had not really learned the cooking skills, by learning from Feng Yifan, he also gained a new understanding of the restaurant kitchen.
Lin Ruifeng doesn’t know about other restaurants, but in his opinion, Su Ji’s kitchen exudes cleanliness, tidiness, and carefulness.
Feng Yifan is extremely careful and meticulous in cleaning each ingredient, making sure they are clean.
Lin Ruifeng was taught a lesson rudely by Feng Yifan several times because he did not clean thoroughly enough.
When it comes to the pre-processing of some ingredients, Feng Yifan is also very careful, and Lin Ruifeng feels that his master's knife skills are so amazing that they really amaze him.
After processing all kinds of ingredients, Feng Yifan formally gave his apprentice Lin Ruifeng his first lesson on knife skills.
"To master knife skills, you must first have a knife that is suitable for you, and you must first learn how to sharpen the knife. The first lesson teaches you how to choose a knife, how to sharpen the knife, and the most basic knife skills."
In the kitchen, the master and the apprentice had already started their lessons. In the restaurant in front, Su Ruoxi, with the help of her parents-in-law, had also tidied up the restaurant.
The little girl Feng Ruoruo, because she does not have to go to kindergarten, always follows her mother and grandmother, and will lend a hand to help with things within her ability, such as passing the rag to her mother and grandmother, or helping to put the chair in the right position.
But when all this is done, it seems that there is really nothing to do during this period before the restaurant officially opens.
The bored little girl stared at the kitchen with her big eyes. After hesitating beside her grandmother for a while, she couldn't help but quietly ran to the kitchen to see what her father and Uncle Kobayashi were doing.
But just as Feng Ruoruo approached the kitchen, she heard her mother's voice: "Little Feng Ruoruo, what are you going to do?"
When her mother called her back, Feng Ruoruo turned around, looked at her mother and said with a smile, "Ruoruo, go find your dad."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "But your father is very busy now. If you barge in like this, you will disturb your father. Why don't you play with your grandparents?"
After hearing what her mother said, little Feng Ruoruo pouted her lips, her face full of unhappiness, and turned her head to look at the door of the restaurant's kitchen.
Seeing this, Lu Cuiling walked over and took her granddaughter's hand and said, "How about this, grandpa and grandma take Ruoruo out for a walk, and we'll push grandpa along. When we come back and the restaurant is open, Ruoruo can go to the kitchen to give Dad the menu, okay?"
After hearing what her grandmother said, Feng Ruoruo thought this was a good idea and immediately nodded in agreement with a smile on her face.

I’d like to recommend a new book by a friend, “Return to the World of Quick Travel”, written by “The Keychain is Lost”. If you like this kind of urban supernatural novels, you can take a look. If you think the number of words is short, you may as well collect it first!
