Almost as soon as Feng Yifan served all the dishes to his daughter and her family, and as it was getting dark, the restaurant welcomed the first table of diners.
Seeing that there was only one table of guests, Feng Yifan asked his wife to sit down and eat first: "You sit down and eat first, I will serve this table of guests. It's just right for you to take a break after dinner. There should be other guests."
After hearing what her husband said, Su Ruoxi wanted to refuse, but her husband forced her to sit down seriously.
Seeing her husband holding a menu and greeting the guests, Su Ruoxi had no choice but to sit down and eat first.
Feng Yifan greeted the diners with a friendly smile: "Welcome, please come in. There are not many customers now, so you can sit wherever you want."
The guests who came in took a look at Feng Yifan and quickly recognized him.
“You’re the chef in the video, right?”
"What an honor! The boss is here to receive me personally."
“Hahaha, boss, can we take a photo together? I’ll post it on WeChat Moments to help you promote it.”
"Yes, yes, it's really rare to be greeted by the chef himself. Boss, let's take a photo together."
Faced with the enthusiasm of several people, Feng Yifan had no choice but to say, "Okay, let's take a photo together."
Seeing that Feng Yifan agreed, several people quickly came forward and surrounded Feng Yifan.
There were only three girls among the group, and they squeezed Feng Yifan in the middle. Taking photos like this really made Feng Yifan feel a little uncomfortable.
After taking a photo, Feng Yifan quickly moved aside and said, "Okay, everyone, please sit down and order. Our shrimps are quite fresh today. If you like sweet and sour flavors, I recommend the sweet and sour shrimp balls. If you like something a little stronger, you can also order the dried prawns."
Although Feng Yifan had already started the introductions, several people were obviously more interested in taking photos.
The three girls actually came forward again and insisted on pulling Feng Yifan to take a photo of each of them individually.
Feng Yifan was somewhat helpless. Although he was very dissatisfied, he still kept smiling and said, "I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to take pictures all the time. This is a restaurant, not a tourist attraction."
Seeing Feng Yifan's refusal, a girl said unhappily, "Isn't it just taking two photos? Boss, you are too disrespectful."
The other two girls joined in the fun, and then the two boys who came with them also expressed their hope that Feng Yifan could take photos with them separately.
Feng Yifan felt a little uncomfortable and wanted to refuse directly. Suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "Don't bother my dad. My dad is a chef, not here to take pictures with you."
Hearing the voice behind him, Feng Yifan turned around and smiled at his daughter who was running over.
Several diners who came in thought the little girl was very cute. But when they wanted to get closer, the little girl rejected them: "Do you want to eat or not? Ruoruo doesn't take pictures."
When the three girls heard the little girl directly say that she didn’t want to take pictures, they couldn’t help laughing.
"The little girl is so cute."
"Boss, your daughter is so beautiful."
"Boss, can you please talk to your daughter and take a photo with us?"
Faced with the three girls' pleas, Feng Yifan shook his head and refused: "I'm sorry, my daughter doesn't want to, and as a father I can't force her. If you don't want to eat, then we won't accompany you."
By saying this, Feng Yifan was almost ordering them to leave, and he no longer entertained the young people.
Seeing the boss pulling his daughter and turning to leave, a boy stood up and said, "Boss, don't leave. We're here to order food."
Then, another boy persuaded the three girls to calm down, and the five of them sat down at the table at the door.
After sitting down, the girls who were unable to take photos started to become picky.
"Why are the tables so big? There are only five of us. It's not convenient to sit at such a big table."
Feng Yifan remained patient: "I'm sorry, we are an old restaurant and the tables are relatively large. Of course, if you don't want to share a table with others, we won't force you, or you can take it away."
The girls were obviously unhappy, but were persuaded by the two boys to stay and then ordered a few dishes casually.
I ordered the sweet and sour shrimp balls that Feng Yifan mentioned just now, and also some stir-fried vegetarian dishes.
When they saw the lion's head, the three girls couldn't resist their curiosity and ordered the lion's head on the menu.
After ordering the dishes, Feng Yifan took the ordering menu and went to the kitchen to start preparing.
A girl said, "It doesn't look as good as the video says. What special features can the food in this small restaurant have?"
Another girl continued, "The lion's head on the menu seems to be different from other places. What kind of steamed lion's head is it? I wonder how it tastes?"
The last girl said, "What else can I do? I think we should not have too high expectations."
The two boys who came with them looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They felt extremely embarrassed to see the three girls talking in such a low voice.
The five young people are college classmates. This time they saw a previous video of Meng Shitong and others on the Internet, so they took a car to come here specially.
Two boys wanted to come the weekend before, but were stopped by three girls and couldn't make it.
Today, five of us just happened to go out to play together in the afternoon. It was time to eat in the evening. It happened that the place they were playing was not far from the old street, so after discussing it, we decided to come together to try it.
The two boys were helpless with the three girls because each of them wanted to pursue one of the girls.
But there are three girls in the same dormitory and they have a very good relationship, so I can only call all three of them together when I go out.
But through the performance of the three girls since they entered the room, the two boys' impressions of the girls they like have changed a little.
Feng Yifan walked to the kitchen with the menu, and his apprentice Lin Ruifeng naturally followed him.
After entering the kitchen, Lin Ruifeng couldn't help but say, "Master, you shouldn't receive unreasonable people like this."
Feng Yifan shook his head helplessly: "We are open for business. If we turn away customers because of a small problem, how will other customers view us?"
Lin Ruifeng thought for a moment and said, "Then Master, please let me make the sweet and sour shrimp balls."
Feng Yifan shook his head again: "No, I will come to the first table tonight. You can take a closer look again."
When Lin Ruifeng heard that he could watch it again, he naturally agreed immediately and then watched the master's cooking process very seriously.
Because the other party did not order only one dish, Feng Yifan did not make the sweet and sour shrimp balls specifically for his apprentice to see when he started cooking. The process was just that, and the rest still depended on the apprentice to figure out on his own.
While making the sweet and sour shrimp, Feng Yifan was also preparing some other dishes.
Lin Ruifeng was watching from the side. He really admired his master's methodical cooking process from the bottom of his heart and also hoped that he would be able to do the same one day.
Feng Yifan usually does not serve the first dish alone. He usually waits until both dishes are ready before serving them together.
Of course, if the diners ordered cold dishes, Feng Yifan would definitely serve them first. However, today the table outside did not order cold dishes, but directly ordered a few hot dishes.
So Feng Yifan prepared two hot plates before asking his apprentice to serve the two dishes together.
The five young people outside were also somewhat divided: three girls would huddle together, chattering on their phones, while two boys would sit together, chatting casually.
The dishes were finally served, and the two boys were very proactive in helping Lin Ruifeng bring the dishes over and placing them in front of the three girls.
Naturally, try to put it in front of the girl you like.
Although Lin Ruifeng was unhappy with the five people, he still reported the names of the dishes seriously: "Sour shrimp balls with sour sauce, stir-fried three white vegetables."
After saying the name of the dish, Lin Ruifeng turned around and left.
The three girls looked at the dishes in front of them and were really a little surprised.
Before the dishes were served, the three girls really looked down on Su Ji, a small restaurant. They even quietly criticized the two boys for not knowing how to choose a place when they were chatting privately just now.
In the minds of the three girls, since the two boys were pursuing them, they should at least treat them to a high-end place, at least a Western restaurant.
What good food can there be in such a small restaurant? And the dishes will definitely not be cooked very beautifully.
But now, I see the two dishes served.
First of all, from the appearance, the three girls were already speechless.
Sweet and sour shrimp balls, each shrimp ball is evenly coated with red sauce, and the presentation is very particular. The overall look is really beautiful, like a bunch of bright red flower buds on the plate.
Another vegetarian dish is stir-fried three white vegetables, which consists of bamboo shoots, lotus root slices and yam, which is very suitable for girls pursuing a healthy diet for weight loss.
At the same time, in such a dish, the three white vegetables are not placed randomly, but are arranged in a very delicate manner, making full use of the shape of each ingredient, like a plate of lotus flowers emerging from water.
Two dishes, one bright red, the other plain and elegant, are really beautiful.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, the three girls quickly took out their mobile phones and took some serious photos.
He also posted on his Moments: Sisters, take a look at what the real upper class means. Don’t think that only Western food is beautifully presented.
This post was written by one of the girls, and the other two girls naturally copied it and forwarded it.
The two boys saw that the girls seemed very satisfied. After they posted on their Moments, they greeted them warmly, "Okay, come and try it. I heard that the owner of this shop has great cooking skills."
The three girls didn't hesitate to pick up a piece with their chopsticks and put it in their mouths to taste.
The two boys naturally picked it up as well, and imitated the girls' reservedness, slowly putting it into their mouths to eat.
When they really tasted it, both girls and boys were instantly amazed again. The amazing taste made the five young people feel like they couldn't stop eating.
Next, the girls could no longer remain reserved and quickly picked up the food piece by piece to eat, and the boys followed suit.
When Lin Ruifeng came to serve the dishes again, he found that the previous two dishes had been almost eaten.
Seeing this situation, Lin Ruifeng felt very proud.
The next two dishes were also very delicious for both boys and girls. Although the taste of each dish was not very strong, each dish tasted very smooth and enjoyable.
At the end, Lin Ruifeng brought out five small bowls. There were lotus leaves at the bottom of the bowls and steamed lion heads on the lotus leaves.
Even though it is steamed, the lion head is still exceptionally pink and tender in the small bowl and on the lotus leaf.
Seeing the lion's head, the three girls, who were already full, almost unconsciously felt hungry again.
Especially when they saw that the lion's head was so white and cute, the three girls couldn't resist the temptation at all. They scooped off a piece with a spoon and put it into their mouths impatiently.
It is soft and glutinous but not greasy. The addition of water chestnuts adds a refreshing taste, which makes the lion's head very comfortable to chew.
In the blink of an eye, the five people had finished eating up the lion's head, and there was almost nothing left on the plates of the ordered dishes. They really finished all the ordered dishes.
After finishing their meal, the three girls put down their empty bowls and leaned back in their chairs with satisfied looks on their faces.
At this time, Feng Ruoruo pulled her good friend Chen Yaofei over and saw the three older sisters. The little girl asked, "Is it delicious? Is my dad's cooking especially delicious?"
Hearing the question, the three girls turned their heads to look over.
I saw two cute little girls who looked like porcelain dolls standing there looking at me.
A girl nodded and said, "It's delicious."
Another girl also said: "It's delicious."
The last girl added: "Not only is it delicious, but it also looks very good. Every dish your father makes is like a work of art. It's really beautiful. Your father is really amazing."
When her father was praised, Feng Ruoruo smiled proudly: "My father is the best."
Chen Yaofei also helped out and said, "Yes, Ruoruo's father is really good. The dishes he cooks are both beautiful and delicious. You should come to eat more often in the future."
The three girls looked at the two boys across from them, then almost laughed and said together, "Okay, we'll definitely come more often."
When the two boys heard this and saw the three girls laughing, they naturally understood that the three girls still wanted them to treat them.
The two agreed on the surface, but felt bitter in their hearts.
Before leaving, the three girls wanted to apologize to the chef for what they had done before, but the restaurant had already received more customers and Feng Yifan was busy in the kitchen, so he was unable to come out and listen to the three girls' apologies.
When it was time to pay the bill, the three girls had no choice but to apologize to the proprietress and asked Feng Ruoruo to help convey their apology.
At the same time as these five young college students left, the circles of friends posted by the three girls were quickly spread among their classmates.
"Wow, this dish is so beautiful."
"That's amazing! What high-end restaurant did you three go to?"
"Hahaha, someone must be treating us."
"I don't know which idiot got ripped off. Just the presentation of these dishes, I'm afraid each plate would cost one or two hundred, right?"
"Not really, right? Domestic dishes shouldn't be that expensive."
"Yeah, it's not Western food."
"It won't be cheap anyway."
…
On the way back, the three girls saw the discussion on WeChat Moments, took a photo of the meal bill together, and then posted it on WeChat Moments again.
When they saw the prices, the five college students' friend circles went wild again. At the same time, more college students have begun to explore which restaurant the five people went to eat.
