The old couple of the Lin family looked at the people queuing up at the door, and then looked at their son who had been guarding the pot stickers pan. The old couple were really a little moved.
The old couple never imagined that one day they would be able to witness such a big transformation in their son.
It only took a few days, and although Lin Ruifeng had not yet really learned any skills, his efforts had made the old couple very satisfied.
In fact, Lin Ruifeng was not a bad person by nature, but he had lost confidence in everything and even hated himself because of the academic pressure and the criticism from his parents.
While learning cooking with Feng Yifan, although every day in the kitchen is very hard, with getting up early and going to bed late, and having to practice boring knife skills and lift the wok over and over again, he has not even started practicing flipping the wok yet.
However, these seemingly boring exercises made Lin Ruifeng feel fulfilled.
Especially since he followed Feng Yifan every day and witnessed Feng Yifan's daily busyness and fatigue, but Feng Yifan was still cheerful.
He is able to arrange everything in an orderly manner, including the kitchen, the restaurant, taking care of his father-in-law who had a stroke, and accompanying his daughter. Feng Yifan arranges almost everything properly.
Lin Ruifeng witnessed it all with his own eyes, and for the first time he understood that life was not as bad as he had imagined.
There is still a lot of fun in the hard work.
It’s like when Feng Yifan cooks a dish and makes some changes to the appearance when plating it, the guests are immediately amazed after the dish is served.
When I see the look of surprise on the guests' faces, when I hear their sincere praise for the delicious food while eating.
Lin Ruifeng felt that the master must have been very proud at that moment.
In just a few days, Lin Ruifeng actually did not learn any real skills from his master, but he learned a principle of life and how to face life.
Just like now, there is a constant stream of people in front of the Lin family breakfast shop, all clamoring to buy pot stickers.
Lin Ruifeng was really full of energy watching this scene. In an instant he felt a sense of satisfaction, a satisfaction that his efforts were rewarded.
The reason why the Linjia Breakfast Shop’s pot stickers business became so popular immediately after it was launched is closely related to the persistence of Lin Ruifeng’s parents over the years.
The reconstruction of the old street area has been ongoing, so many shops in the surrounding area have closed one after another, especially breakfast shops, which are becoming fewer and fewer.
Lin's breakfast shop has always been persistent, and whether it is fried dough sticks or soy milk, not only the quantity is substantial, but the price is also very affordable. Therefore, many working people are used to eating at Lin's breakfast shop.
This morning, when the breakfast shop opened, the second pot of breakfast that Feng Yifan helped to prepare came out of the pot.
The aroma of pot stickers wafted out instantly, immediately attracting people who came for breakfast and some people who passed by the old street on their way to work.
Next, attracted by the tempting aroma, naturally the Lin family breakfast shop became bustling with people.
"Mr. Lin, your pot stickers are really good. They taste great."
“It’s been a long time since I’ve had such authentic pot stickers.”
"Delicious, really delicious. This shrimp and corn dish is refreshing and not greasy at all."
"The beef is still the best, and the crispy flowers are really beautiful."
"The price is right and the quantity is generous. It's great. Can you give me another pound of beef?"
Seeing that more and more people were buying, Lin Ruifeng, despite working very hard and having helped his parents at home for many years, gradually began to get flustered.
At this time, the mother reached out to her son.
Lin Ruifeng saw his mother's hand, then raised his head and looked at his mother in surprise.
The mother smiled and said, "Don't just stand there, hurry up, everyone is waiting. Your father can handle the fried dough sticks alone, let's make pot stickers together, hurry up."
Lin Ruifeng also laughed and nodded, saying, "Okay, Mom, let's hurry up."
Then the mother and son of the Lin family quickly wrapped pot stickers, while Old Lin greeted the guests, frying dough sticks and pouring soy milk for the guests at the same time.
But for Lao Lin, he has already gotten used to it.
Old Lin was very pleased to see the mother and son busy at work, especially his son's seriousness. He felt full of energy when he was working.
With the help of the mother, one pot was quickly cooked. Lin's mother then took another frying pan, and the mother and son prepared another pot.
Despite this, as more and more customers came during breakfast time, the small breakfast shop seemed extremely busy.
After the family had finished eating, Feng Yifan saw a queue outside the restaurant next door. He said to everyone, "I'll go over and take a look. It seems that Uncle Lin's business is unexpectedly good."
Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "You underestimated the number of Uncle Lin's regular customers."
Feng Yifan also said helplessly: "I really underestimated it. I wanted to test the waters today, but I didn't expect that the business would be so good. The supply is almost outstripping the demand."
Su Ruoxi continued, "You don't understand the situation. It's a good thing that Uncle Lin and Auntie have made pot stickers before. Otherwise, with so many people crowded together, I'm afraid they might not be able to control the heat well."
Feng Yifan was scolded by his wife, but he could only accept it humbly: "Yes, my wife is scolding me for being a little anxious."
Su Jinrong waved his hand and said, "Go, go and take a look."
Then when she saw her father getting up to go out, little Feng Ruoruo immediately shouted, "Dad, there's Ruoruo too. Ruoruo wants to go too."
Lu Cuiling held her granddaughter and said, "Don't go there. There are so many people there. What if you get squeezed? And your dad won't be able to help you. There are pots and hot oil there. It's very dangerous."
Grandma said this, but little Feng Ruoruo was naturally very unhappy. Her little mouth pouted immediately, as if an oil bottle could be hung on it.
Seeing his daughter's look, Feng Yifan comforted her: "You have to listen to grandma. You have to go to kindergarten soon. If you listen, Daddy promises to take you to sell hamburgers with Uncle Xiaolin on the weekend."
Hearing her father say this, little Feng Ruoruo immediately smiled happily.
"Hehe, then dad, let's make a deal, you can't lie to children."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Dad promises that you will be good and obedient. After you finish eating, you must let grandma and mom take you to kindergarten."
Feng Ruoruo nodded heavily: "Okay."
When watching her father go out, the little girl did not forget to shout: "Come on, Dad. Tell Uncle Xiaolin to do his best, too."
Feng Yifan turned around and nodded to his daughter with a smile, and did not forget to high-five his daughter from a distance.
When Feng Yifan arrived at the door of the Lin family breakfast shop, he was surprised to find that the shop was already packed with people.
Although it was mainly because the Lin family breakfast shop was not very big, the fact that there were so many people was a bit beyond Feng Yifan's expectation. It seemed that people from a few blocks away in the old street seemed to have gathered here to have breakfast.
Feng Yifan talked to others for a long time before he finally squeezed into the shop and came to the mother and son who were guarding the frying pan.
Seeing Lin Ruifeng covered in flour and looking very embarrassed, Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It turns out you haven't really graduated yet. Come on, give me your apron, and you and Auntie can take a rest next to each other."
When Lin Ruifeng heard his master's voice, he raised his head and glanced at his master who had already come in.
Then Lin Ruifeng forced a smile on his tired face and said, "Master, no need. I don't have much stuffing left. I can only wrap half a pot."
Feng Yifan took a look and found that the prepared filling was almost gone.
The Lin family breakfast shop had plenty of flour, but when Feng Yifan asked Lin Ruifeng to come back in the evening to prepare the filling, he didn't expect that it would sell so well on the first day, so he didn't prepare much ingredients for the filling.
Feng Yifan saw his apprentice lower his head and continue to work hard to wrap the rest. He took the initiative to go in, washed his hands, replaced Lin's mother, and finished the last part with his apprentice.
