As evening approached, the bustling crowd on the old street began to increase. Feng Yifan called Lin Ruifeng back from his home after practicing lifting the wok for almost two hours to prepare for the evening business.
Today, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei's families knew that restaurant business might be better on weekends, so they did not choose to stay for dinner.
Although Feng Ruoruo was reluctant to see her two good friends leave, the three little girls still reluctantly saw them off after agreeing to play together again tomorrow.
When leaving, Feng Yifan naturally gave the packed snacks to the two little girls.
Although Feng Yifan and his wife insisted on not taking the money, Yang Zhiyi and Chen Yaofei's grandfather still kept the money.
Yang Zhiyi didn't want to pay at first, but his wife and daughter didn't agree, so he had to leave the money with Chen Yaofei's grandfather.
When Feng Yifan refused to accept it, Chen Yaofei's grandfather said seriously: "I know that the raw materials for such a small snack may not cost much, but we must pay you for your kindness. And if you accept it, we will be embarrassed to come again in the future."
Chen Yaofei also said beside Grandpa: "Uncle Feng, please accept it. Xixi and I will come to you to make snacks in the future."
Yang Xiaoxi was more direct: "Uncle Feng, please accept it. My father is actually very rich. When we come here next time, we have to let my father pay."
After hearing what his daughter said, Yang Zhiyi looked really depressed, thinking that his little daughter was too ungrateful.
However, Yang Zhiyi also said: "Take it. You have been so busy all day, and you have spent the whole afternoon making snacks for the children. If you don't take the money, I, as a father, will be embarrassed to come again."
Seeing that everyone was speaking so sincerely, Feng Yifan and his wife looked at each other and finally accepted the money.
Feng Yifan accepted the money and said, "Then we'll take it. I'll make more snacks for the two little darlings in the future. Whatever dessert you want, you can come to Uncle Feng and tell him. Uncle Feng will definitely try his best to make it for you."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei were naturally very happy to receive such a promise.
"Thank you, Uncle Feng. Uncle Feng, don't forget Xixi's birthday cake. I want a very beautiful one."
"Thank you, Uncle Feng. Feifei, can you also come and learn how to make a cake from Uncle Feng on your birthday? Feifei wants to make one for mom and dad."
Feng Yifan smiled and promised the two little girls: "Sure, uncle will definitely make the most beautiful birthday cake for you."
When Yang Xiaoxi heard what Chen Yaofei said, she also shouted, "Then I want to learn how to make it, and I want to make it for my parents. Uncle Feng, when you make it, you must tell Xixi."
Feng Ruoruo said at this time: "Don't worry, Xixi, I will tell you, and then we will learn together with my dad."
Feng Yifan smiled and nodded: "Yes, when the time comes, uncle will let Ruoruo notify you, and then you two can come and learn with Ruoruo. Uncle promises to teach all three of you."
The three little girls cheered immediately.
Yang Zhiyi suggested at this time: "Since Uncle Feng has agreed to so many of your requests, shouldn't you two blow Uncle Feng a kiss before you leave?"
After hearing what her father said, Yang Xiaoxi was very direct and blew Uncle Feng a kiss: "MUA, goodbye Uncle Feng."
Chen Yaofei felt a little embarrassed, but after a little hesitation, she blew him a kiss: "Goodbye, uncle."
Feng Yifan made a gesture to catch it, clenched his fist and waved, saying: "Okay, goodbye, you must be careful on the road."
The three families said goodbye to each other, and the other two families walked together to the west end of the old street.
When the two families disappeared in the bustling crowd of the old street, Feng Yifan gently touched his daughter's head and said, "Okay, let's go back and get ready to start business."
Feng Ruoruo retracted her gaze, raised her head to look at her father and mother, then grinned and shouted to the old street outside: "Open for business."
When the little girl shouted like this, the people coming and going on the old street outside the door all turned their eyes to the small restaurant and to the family of three living in front of the restaurant.
After a short silence, someone walked straight to the door of the small restaurant and asked with a smile: "Boss, you're open so early? Can we go in and start ordering?"
Before her parents could speak, Feng Ruoruo gently pushed them aside and made way for them to enter. The little girl stood by the door and made a gesture of invitation: "Come in."
Feng Ruoruo's invitation immediately attracted more people's attention, and then many people came in one after another.
Seeing that there were customers in grandpa's restaurant, Feng Ruoruo pushed her father in and said, "Dad, hurry up, there are already customers, you should go to the kitchen and get busy, let's start business."
At his daughter's urging, Feng Yifan exchanged glances with his wife, said something to his father-in-law and parents, and walked towards the kitchen.
This weekend night is destined to be a busy night for Feng Yifan and Su Ji.
At this moment, Feng Yifan looked like a soldier ready for battle. Tonight was also a test for him, to see if he, who had already fully adapted, could handle the high intensity of the weekend alone.
Entering the kitchen, Lin Ruifeng was also ready for action, and even took the initiative to stand in front of the chopping board to continue practicing his knife skills.
Feng Yifan glanced at his apprentice and said, "I'll give you a chance to practice tonight. Help me handle tonight's business. Do you have the courage?"
Lin Ruifeng was stunned for a moment, then immediately said, "I dare. Thank you, Master."
Feng Yifan smiled with satisfaction: "You're welcome. This is a test for you. You don't have to rush to do it, but you must remember not to rush to do it in the kitchen. You must listen carefully to the chef's intention before doing it."
Lin Ruifeng nodded seriously.
Feng Yifan then gave instructions directly. The first thing was still to cut things, this time not only radishes and potatoes, but also cucumbers and the like.
"Don't be impatient. Remember the key points. Make sure you keep the cut in a straight line and use steady force. Each cut counts."
While Lin Ruifeng was cutting, Feng Yifan was still standing by to give instructions.
Of course, with the morning training, Lin Ruifeng can now cut things quite well, but he can only cut large chunks, or some thick slices or dices.
The delicate knife work still needs to be done by Feng Yifan himself.
But this is already a lot of burden sharing. At least it allows Feng Yifan to free up his hands to prepare some of the things needed for cooking.
The master and the disciple were busy preparing in the kitchen. Two tables of people had already been seated in the restaurant in front. Su Ruoxi was standing by and taking notes on the food. Little Feng Ruoruo naturally wanted to stay close to her mother.
When ordering food, Su Ruoxi also recommended to the diners several main dishes that Feng Yifan had decided to make today.
At one of the tables, four young people obviously came over after watching the video of Meng Shitong and the others, and they ordered the "Hibiscus Lychee Fish" right away.
After seeing that the other party ordered this dish, he actually ordered another dish, "Squirrel Mandarin Fish". Su Ruoxi smiled and reminded: "These two fish dishes have similar tastes. You can switch to our fried eel paste. Our eels are all freshly killed."
The young man was a little hesitant about Su Ruoxi's recommendation, and Feng Ruoruo took the opportunity to stick her head out and said, "It's delicious. Don't just order one dish. All the dishes my father cooks are delicious."
Seeing the little girl sticking her head out to recommend her father's dishes also attracted the attention of several young people and people at another table, and they all thought Feng Ruoruo was very cute.
The young people at that table agreed and ordered a dish of fried eel paste, and also ordered two lighter vegetarian dishes based on Su Ruoxi's recommendation.
The guests at another table had a reference and simply followed Su Ruoxi's recommendation and ordered six dishes.
After writing the menu, Su Ruoxi handed two menus to her daughter: "Okay, you take them to Dad. Run slowly and don't be in a hurry."
Feng Ruoruo took the menu and agreed to her mother with a smile, but she turned around and ran quickly to the kitchen.
Seeing this, the grandmother at the side shouted, "Run slower."
After hearing what her grandmother said, little Feng Ruoruo suddenly became well-behaved and even slowed down her pace.
The guests at the two tables all smiled as they watched. They thought that the little girl was attracting customers at the door, following her mother to recommend dishes to her father, and even running to give her father a menu. It was a very heartwarming and interesting scene.
