In Su Ji, although his mother and wife were not there, Feng Yifan did just as his mother said, handling all matters in an orderly manner. Even if he was the only one busy, he was still very comfortable.
In fact, this is mainly because at noon, Su Ji only provided fried rice and noodles.
These two are much simpler to make.
Even for Feng Yifan, fried rice is easier to make than noodles.
Because Su Ji’s noodles have toppings, and making the various toppings is quite labor-intensive.
In addition, there are a few regular customers who want braised shredded pork with three kinds of shredded vegetables, boiled shredded pork with dried shredded vegetables, and tofu, catfish and lion's head. Each of these is very labor-intensive and time-consuming.
Fortunately, when Feng Yifan was making Yi Fu noodles in the kitchen, he also took the time to prepare some toppings in advance.
For example, the tofu and catfish lion head dish was prepared in advance by Feng Yifan in the kitchen. The white and tender tofu and catfish lion head were simmered in a pot of chicken soup.
Tofu and catfish lion's head, this dish was created by Feng Yifan for his wife in his previous life. Naturally, it was also loved by Su Ruoxi.
And there is another person I like, that is Old Lady Liu Wanhua.
Liu Wanhua is a native of Suzhou and Hangzhou, and her taste is also light. At the same time, the old lady likes lion head very much.
But the general lion head, no matter how it is made, will always be a little greasy. After all, lion head is made with diced meat, so no matter how you try to get rid of the greasiness, it will still have a greasy taste.
However, the tofu and catfish lion head dish that Feng Yifan created for his wife completely solved that greasy feeling.
First of all, the main ingredient is plain tofu, and the auxiliary ingredient is catfish meat paste, with just some diced fat mixed in.
While maintaining almost the same taste as lion's head, and cooked in clear chicken soup, neither the tofu nor the catfish puree has the slightest greasy taste.
It really succeeded, it has the taste of lion head but without the greasy texture, it is a perfect dish.
Therefore, Liu Wanhua would come to Su Ji almost every day at noon, and she would order Feng Yifan’s special dish, the tofu and catfish lion head, as a topping for her Yi Fu noodles.
As for the soup in this noodle, it is fish soup made from catfish bones. It is really delicious and not greasy at all.
Feng Yifan boiled the noodles and rinsed the oil off the noodles for Old Lady Liu.
After serving it in the bowl, first scoop out a tofu catfish lion head from the chicken soup casserole and place it on the noodles, then add some green vegetables, fresh bamboo shoots, and shredded mushrooms, and finally pour in a large spoonful of milky and delicious catfish soup.
Before serving, sprinkle a little bit of chopped green onions on it, and it will be perfect with the green color.
This bowl of noodles was served on the table and placed in front of old lady Liu Wanhua. Meng Shitong and others who were sitting at the same table with the old lady were all stunned.
He Yaqian quickly patted the photographer A Fei: "Hurry up, take pictures."
Photographer Ah Fei subconsciously replied: "What are you taking pictures of? I'm just standing there."
However, Meng Shitong quickly came to her senses, grabbed A Fei's camera, fiddled with it and took a picture of the most beautiful moment.
Click.
After hearing this, the people watching at the table finally came to their senses.
He Yaqian exclaimed: "It's really beautiful. Can this bowl of noodles be made so beautifully? Sister, I regret it. I simply don't know how to eat it. I should have ordered what Auntie ordered."
Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "My dear, if you order according to my taste, it may not suit your taste."
He Yaqian quickly said, "How could that be? Auntie, this bowl of yours is so beautiful."
Liu Wanhua continued, "This is what I like. I'm used to light food. You young people have strong tastes nowadays. You like to eat food that's heavy in oil, salt, or spicy. You're not used to this kind of food."
When Old Lady Liu spoke at this time, there was a little bit of a dialect flavor in her voice, which was really pleasant to the ears.
He Yaqian still didn't give up after hearing this: "Sister, should I talk to the boss and ask me to change a bowl?"
Meng Shitong smiled and said, "Isn't this bad? Maybe Chef Feng has already made it for you, and you want to change it now. What do you want Chef Feng to do with the bowl that's already been made?"
Photographer A Fei suddenly said, "I have an idea. You can actually order another bowl, and I'll help you eat the extra one."
He Yaqian smiled and said to A Fei: "Do you want me to help you pay the money?"
Photographer Ah Fei nodded and said, "I went through so much trouble to help you solve the problem of an extra bowl of noodles. How can you let me pay for it? Are you going to pay for my bowl as well to show your gratitude?"
He Yaqian's face changed, she reached out and pulled Ah Fei and said, "Come on, follow me out, I'll express my gratitude to you."
Photographer A Fei quickly hugged the back of the chair and said, "Don't bother, sister, just leave the money."
The next moment, He Yaqian pinched Ah Fei hard: "I asked you to thank me and leave the money. I haven't disciplined you for a few days. You're itching for trouble, right? You dare to challenge me."
Seeing the two young people fighting, Liu Wanhua couldn't help but shook her head and said, "Oh, what are you two young people quarreling about?"
Meng Shitong quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, Auntie, they were just joking, you eat yours."
Of course, He Yaqian and A Fei soon stopped making a fuss and sat down again.
Liu Wanhua then said to He Yaqian, "Nannan, in fact, other flavors are just as delicious. The toppings made by Yifan are really delicious."
He Yaqian also nodded: "Auntie, you are right, Chef Feng's cooking skills are indeed impeccable."
Liu Wanhua picked up a small piece of food with chopsticks and took a small bite. Her graceful movement made Meng Shitong and others feel so frightened that they couldn't even breathe.
I really have to admit that even when she was eating, Mrs. Liu's elegance was quite charming.
The old lady's elegance, coupled with the milky white soup in front of her, with the green vegetables, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and a white and tender tofu and catfish lion head, is a perfect match.
After watching for a while, He Yaqian quietly patted the photographer A Fei beside her, indicating A Fei to take a picture of the old lady.
Ah Fei also seized the opportunity and, with a click, captured the scene of the old lady eating noodles elegantly.
Hearing the sound of the camera, Liu Wanhua raised her head and looked at the young people at the same table. The old lady was not angry. She swallowed the noodles in her mouth first, then smiled and said, "I am an old woman, what is there to take pictures of?"
He Yaqian quickly said: "Auntie, when you were young, you must have been a beautiful beauty."
Ah Fei said bluntly: "What nonsense are you talking about? Auntie is also a beauty now, okay?"
Liu Wanhua felt a little embarrassed by the compliments from the young people. She turned her head to glance at the group of old men next to her, but she didn't really want to go back and sit down.
Finally, the old lady could only say to Su Jinrong: "Jinrong, I now feel that what you just said, that Ruoxi and the others need to change the big table to a small table, is very necessary, otherwise they won't be able to find a place to eat."
Hearing this, Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Then, let Ruoxi and the others do it as soon as possible."
Meng Shitong apologized to the old lady: "Sorry, Auntie, we disturbed your meal. Please eat your meal and we promise not to disturb you. As for the photo just now, we will go back and print it and send it to you."
Photographer A Fei quickly added: "We will never spread the photos without your permission, Auntie."
Liu Wanhua shook her head and smiled helplessly, and could only continue to lower her head and eat the noodles in her bowl elegantly.
