When Feng Yifan and his friends drove back to the old street, they found that it was bustling with people. Looking inside from the intersection, it really felt like the street was packed with people.
This scene surprised everyone. You know, even with Meng Shitong and others’ video promotion online, it attracted many young people to come to the old street to take a look on weekends.
During the two weekends since Feng Yifan returned, the number of people visiting the old street has indeed been gradually increasing.
But there has never been such a crowded scene as the one before.
Without getting off the car, Feng Yifan looked around and turned to ask Yang Zhiyi: "Are we on the right road?"
Yang Zhiyi was also a little surprised. When did the old street become so crowded? Looking from the street entrance, it really made people feel that the street was full of people. The old street, which was originally quite wide, seemed to have suddenly become narrow and crowded.
After a moment of shock, Yang Zhiyi said incredulously, "Should I have taken the right road?"
Lu Cuiling, who had already opened the car door and was about to get out, said, "Hey, what are you two doing standing there? How could you have taken the wrong road? Get out of the car quickly."
Feng Yifan finally came to his senses, quickly opened the car door and got out. He took his father-in-law's wheelchair out of the back and put it at the street corner, then carried his father-in-law out of the car and put him on the wheelchair.
Yang Zhiyi has also sat in the driver's seat, he needs to return the car first.
Before leaving, Yang Zhiyi said to his daughter who got out of her mother's car, "Xixi, you have to be good when you stay here. Don't be naughty at Ruoruo's house. Dad will return the car and come back to pick you and mom up."
Yang Xiaoxi agreed and waved to her father: "Okay, Dad, please drive slower. Xixi will be a good boy at Dad Feng's house."
Hearing his daughter calling "Dad Feng" again, Yang Zhiyi always felt that something was not right, and he regretted the proposal on the river bank more and more.
Fortunately, the two little girls, Feng Ruoruo and Chen Yaofei, also waved goodbye to him, which made Yang Zhiyi feel much better.
Next, Yang Zhiyi went to return the car, and Li Feier also drove the car to the parking lot.
The children followed Feng Yifan and the others into the old street and went straight to Su Ji.
Seeing that there were many people on the street, Feng Yifan and his group were very cautious. Several adults protected the three little girls together and tried to move forward close to where Su Ji was.
In the crowded old street, almost every open shop had a lot of people gathered.
This is a scene that the old street has not seen for many years.
Feng Yifan walked and looked around, and couldn't help but mutter, "What's going on today? Why are so many people here shopping?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man holding a camera next to him replied, "Didn't you come here after watching the noon show 'Philippines'? I heard that this place is going to be renovated soon, so you came to take a look today, the weekend."
After hearing what the middle-aged man taking the photo said, many people around him also echoed a few words.
They all said that they watched the "Fei Chang Jian" program at noon, and felt that they were free on weekend afternoons, so they rushed to the old street to take a look.
At this point, Feng Yifan and the others finally understood that so many people were attracted by Li Feier's program "Fei Chang Zhi".
Seeing the streets full of people, the old street was so crowded that no one could get through.
Feng Yifan couldn't help but sigh in his heart: The program effect of "Fei Chang Zheng" is really amazing.
In fact, it was Feng Yifan who had underestimated the effect of the show.
You should know that "Fei Chang Zheng" hosted by Li Fei'er has been a local urban change program on TV in recent years and is really loved by many locals.
It is not only loved by many older people, but also by many local young people.
Because Li Fei'er always uses a very modern way that suits young people's expressions to introduce the city they live in to young people.
Through the program, young people can gain a deeper understanding of the city they live in.
For this reason, "Fei Chang Jian Zhi" has become a TV program that many people in Huaicheng will watch every weekend afternoon.
So when "The Philippine Witness" gave an extraordinary testimony to the old street, it was natural that many locals, after watching the program, used the rest of the weekend to take a good look at the old street.
Walking along the roadside, Feng Yifan and his friends finally approached the door of Su Ji, but when they got close to the door, they were stopped again.
Because there were a lot of people gathered in front of Su Ji’s old shop, all taking pictures of Su Ji with their mobile phone cameras.
Some people would walk up and stand in front of the closed door of Su Ji to take photos with him.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yifan and the others were surprised again.
How come the entrance to Su Ji became a popular check-in spot when it was closed at noon? So many people were taking photos at the entrance, and it felt like Su Ji had become history.
If there was a tour guide at this time, would it really make people feel like Su Ji was moved into a museum
After a brief moment of confusion, the problem Feng Yifan and the others faced was: how to get in now
After thinking it over, Feng Yifan made a decisive change and did not continue to approach Su Ji. Instead, he brought everyone to the door of Lin's breakfast shop and knocked on the door.
Not long after, the breakfast shop was opened from the inside, and Lin Ruifeng, dressed in kitchen clothes, stood inside the door.
Seeing Feng Yifan leading a group of people, Lin Ruifeng was also a little surprised: "Master, you are back?"
Feng Yifan quickly stopped his apprentice: "Well, we are back, let's go in first."
Then, he said to the little girls, "Come on, let's go to Uncle Xiaolin's house first. Go in quickly and don't make any noise, so as not to be discovered by those people outside."
Although the three little girls didn’t quite understand why Mr. Feng did this
But seeing Father Feng's mysterious look at this time, the three little girls found it particularly interesting, so they crouched down and slowly approached Uncle Xiaolin's house.
Seeing the three little girls being so cautious like little agents, the adults couldn't help but laugh.
Afterwards, Su Ruoxi and her mother-in-law Lu Cuiling went in together, Chen Yaofei's grandparents also went in, and finally Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law in.
It was not until Feng Yifan pushed his father-in-law in and turned around to close the door of the breakfast shop with his apprentice that they were seen by several people who were taking pictures in front of Su Ji's door.
Seeing the breakfast shop door closed, the few people who saw Feng Yifan closing the door looked at each other.
Several people who seemed to be strangers said almost in unison: "Is it the boss of Su Ji?"
Even though they recognized him, the person had already entered and the door was closed, which made them feel very regretful as they missed the opportunity to get to know the boss.
Lin Ruifeng was still a little confused by the group of people who had already entered the Lin family breakfast shop.
Lin Ruifeng looked at his master and asked, "What's going on?"
Feng Yifan smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you see how many people are outside? Even the entrance to Su Ji is blocked. I don't want to open the door in public and be photographed with my child as if they were a star."
Lin Ruifeng was still curious and asked: "Why is this happening? Why are there so many people blocking the door of Su Ji?"
Chen Yaofei's grandfather said, "It should be because of the TV program 'Fei Chang Zhi Zhi'?"
Yang Xiaoxi immediately said with a little pride: "That's my mother's program."
Feng Ruoruo pulled Yang Xiaoxi and said, "Xixi, your mother's show is so great. A lot of people gathered outside grandpa's restaurant."
Chen Yaofei also clapped and cheered: "Yes, yes, Xixi, your mother is so amazing."
Seeing the three little girls happy, the adults were a little amused. It was really hard to explain the current problem to the children. Perhaps in the eyes of the children, so many people gathering in front of Su Ji must be a good thing.
Su Ruoxi leaned over to her husband and whispered, "Now that Dad has sent the table over, how do we change it?"
What his wife said was also what Feng Yifan was worried about. Right now the entrance and the old street were almost completely blocked by people, and it was really difficult to pull the table over and send it to Su Ji.
After thinking for a while, Feng Yifan said, "How about this? Let's let Mom and Dad stay at Ruifeng's house with the kids. We'll go back and clean up first, and then wait for Dad and Dad to bring the table and have them bring it in from the alley behind?"
Su Ruoxi asked with some concern: "From the back alley, if the car is very big, I'm afraid it won't be able to drive in, right?"
This is indeed a problem. The road behind Su Ji's is not very wide. Zhang Qiang's delivery van can usually drive in, but if he changes to a small truck, he may not be able to drive in.
When the couple was feeling distressed, Lu Cuiling stepped forward decisively and said, "What's so difficult about this? I'll come forward and ask the people on the street outside to make way."
Feng Yifan looked at his mother in surprise when he heard this. He was really surprised by his mother's confidence.
Su Ruoxi quickly grabbed her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, there are so many people outside, can you go alone? And with so many people, what if something happens?"
Lu Cuiling was very confident and patted her daughter-in-law's hand gently: "Don't worry, Mom has a way."
Then Lu Cuiling did not say anything, but said to her son: "Okay, let's go back first, and then open the door from that side, and Mom will talk to those people at the door."
Feng Yifan was somewhat skeptical about his mother's self-confidence. He didn't quite understand where his mother got such confidence from.
But since his mother was confident, Feng Yifan had no choice but to let her give it a try. Of course, in his mind, he was also thinking about how to deal with any unexpected situations.
They went out from the back door of Lin's breakfast shop, then turned to the back door of Su's from the alley behind. After opening the back door, they entered Su's kitchen.
This was the first time that Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei entered Su Ji from the back alley. The two little girls were surprised to see that they had entered the back kitchen.
"Wow, you can come in through this door? Is this the kitchen?"
"It's the kitchen. It turns out this door leads directly into the kitchen."
When Feng Ruoruo heard what her two good friends said, she also smiled and said, "Yes, this door leads directly into the kitchen. It's where dad brings the groceries in when he buys them."
At this moment, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei were suddenly enlightened and felt that the restaurant of Feng Ruoruo's grandfather was really a different world.
When the lights were turned on, the two little girls could finally see clearly and confirmed that this was the kitchen. This time they went straight into the kitchen and then went to the restaurant in front from the kitchen.
After the group entered the restaurant, Feng Yifan looked at his mother who looked serious and asked, "Mom, are you really okay?"
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "You still don't trust your mother? Go ahead and open the door."
Feng Ruoruo ran to her grandmother, held her hand and said, "Come on, grandma. Ruoruo believes in you."
After hearing what her granddaughter said, Lu Cuiling lowered her head and smiled: "Well, thank you, little baby Ruoruo. With the encouragement of little baby Ruoruo, grandma will definitely be able to do it."
Hearing the conversation between the grandparents and grandchildren, Feng Yifan was a little amused.
In Feng Yifan's opinion, his daughter had no idea what her grandmother was going to do and was just cheering her on.
In the end, Feng Yifan walked over and opened the door.
Outside Su Ji, a group of people were still taking photos on the street. Suddenly, they heard a noise, and then saw the door of Su Ji open. The people taking photos on the street were really scared at the first moment.
Several people who were standing at the door taking pictures were so scared that they quickly ran away.
After a brief moment of daze, people on the street finally came to their senses and realized that it was Su Ji who opened the door.
Then almost everyone rushed forward, looking as if they were going to break down the threshold.
Feng Yifan opened his arms to stop everyone: "Please don't crowd, we haven't started business yet. If you want to come to Su Ji for dinner, please wait a little longer."
However, what Feng Yifan obviously did not expect was that many of the people gathered at the door were not there to eat.
Most people rushed forward, surrounded Feng Yifan, and started talking.
"Boss, Boss, can I take a photo with you?"
"Then boss, can we go in and take a look?"
"Yeah, can we go in and take a couple of pictures?"
Hearing everyone say this, Feng Yifan was suddenly a little amused and felt that what he had just said was a bit self-indulgent.
They didn't even want to go in to eat, they just wanted to take two photos and then post them on WeChat Moments, right
When Feng Yifan was a little at a loss, Lu Cuiling appeared in front of the door decisively, stretched out her hand and pushed out the person who was trying to rush in and even raised the mobile phone in his hand.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Do you think this is a zoo or a museum? This is a restaurant, why are you taking pictures here if you're not eating?"
Once the old lady showed up, she was naturally not as polite as Feng Yifan.
He pushed his son's arm away, walked out of Su Ji's door, stopped at the door and said very rudely: "Listen carefully, our Su Ji is a restaurant for eating. If you are not here to eat, then don't take pictures here casually.
If you want to take pictures, do it at the door. Don’t go in and take pictures while we are doing business, which will affect our business.”
The old lady's words, especially her aura, instantly shocked everyone at the door. Those who had planned to rush in during the chaos were all a little discouraged.
After shocking the people at the door, Lu Cuiling continued, "We are not doing business today. We are going to change the tables inside Su Ji today, so please don't block the door. If you want to take pictures, you can take them at the door, but please leave as soon as possible after taking them.
There are still many old shops on the old street that you can visit and take photos of, so you don’t have to keep crowding in front of Su Ji’s door.
We are just a restaurant that sticks to traditional craftsmanship, and we hope everyone can understand how difficult it is to run our small restaurant.”
The previous words shocked everyone with their momentum, and the following words were sincere, which gradually calmed the people watching in front of the door. In the end, they all accepted the old lady's words and expressed their understanding.
