As noon approached, more and more guests came to Su Ji to eat. Some regular customers who often came to Su Ji couldn't help but feel that it was very good when they saw that Su Ji had changed the layout of the tables.
"Boss Su, you guys have changed to a small table, which is really great."
"Yeah, it feels very comfortable sitting like this."
“It’s really nice to be able to have everyone sit apart.”
"I like small tables like this. The big round tables I used to have take up too much space, but in reality they don't have as many seats as small square tables like this."
"Yes, yes, yes. Actually, the big round table can't hold as many people as the small square table."
"Besides, this small square table makes me feel like I'm eating at home."
"Hahaha, my grandparents' house also has square wooden tables like this."
"Handshake, handshake. That's how it is at my grandparents' house."
"In our time, when we got married, the furniture in our homes was basically like this. We had to have a big square table like this, and we also had to have a washbasin stand, a thermos bottle, and so on."
"No TVs?"
“Those things came later.”
"That's right. In our time, televisions were rare. When I got married, there was only a black and white TV."
"Wow, Grandpa, you got married very young? How old are you this year?"
"Haha, the old man is eighty-five today."
"Wow, that's amazing, Grandpa, you are in great health."
"It's OK, it's OK. My teeth are not good now, but I'm still greedy. So, after seeing Fei Chang's testimony and seeing that my sister is still here and Su Ji is still here, I came here to try it."
…
The diners in the restaurant did not eat their own food just because the big round tables were replaced with small square tables. Instead, they chatted more enthusiastically.
From everyone's chat, it is not difficult to see that many people came here because they watched the show "Fei Chang Zhi".
There were a lot of customers in front, so Feng Yifan and Lin Ruifeng, the master and apprentice, were naturally very busy in the kitchen.
Lin Ruifeng even felt like he was turning into a machine, having to repeat the process of boiling noodles, scooping noodles, adding ingredients, and pouring soup over and over again.
As for Feng Yifan, he was even busier. Not only did he need to cook some toppings, he also needed to make fried rice.
At the same time, when serving, some adjustments should be made appropriately to ensure that every bowl of noodles and every plate of fried rice looks beautiful when it comes out.
I have to admit that even though the master is very busy, he still pays great attention to the aesthetic presentation of the dishes. This really makes Lin Ruifeng admire him very much. He even wonders if the master has obsessive-compulsive disorder.
But in fact, Feng Yifan's behavior is not obsessive-compulsive disorder, but a professional attitude.
If you don't pay attention to small details like plating when making other dishes, then in the process of making dishes again and again, you will gradually form a habit and ignore the importance of plating.
This is why, in many large restaurants and hotels, there are usually dedicated staff responsible for plating.
Because they will be more focused, they can adjust the dishes to the appropriate appearance and ensure that the dishes are neat enough when served.
Feng Yifan had done this kind of work when he was abroad. Of course, it was in Su Ji's kitchen that he developed the habit of being neat before serving each dish.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that Su Jinrong is now a cheerful and kind old man, and seems to have become indifferent to many things.
But in fact, during the years when Feng Yifan first came to Su Ji to learn cooking, his father-in-law had a very bad temper. Countless apprentices in the kitchen were scolded, and some were even scolded away.
It was because of Su Jinrong's strict requirements that Feng Yifan developed the habit of arranging dishes in an orderly manner before serving them.
Even if it’s just a plate of fried rice or a bowl of Yi Fu noodles with toppings.
Feng Yifan also takes it seriously and will carefully arrange the dishes before serving.
Therefore, every dish prepared by Feng Yifan gives people a pleasing feeling. Before they start eating, it first conquers the diners' eyes with its high appearance, and then conquers the diners' tongue and stomach with its taste.
One afternoon, Su Ji was packed with people, and there was even a line at the door.
Naturally, this scene was photographed by many people who came specially and then posted on the Internet in their circle of friends.
All of a sudden, Su Ji became famous again, and in the blink of an eye, discussions, photos, and videos about Su Ji appeared in endlessly on the Internet.
Especially those photos of bowls of E Fu noodles with very unique toppings and very beautiful fried rice.
It really makes people salivate just by looking at it.
There is even a classic comment online: I can eat three more bowls of rice just by looking at the photo.
While helping run the restaurant, Lu Cuiling would take a break from time to time to check her phone. Seeing the unanimous praise for Su Ji on the Internet, her mother was naturally very happy.
Especially when she saw the sentence "Just looking at the photos can make me eat three more bowls of rice", Lu Cuiling couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Feng Ruoruo was patrolling around the restaurant like a little adult. When she heard her grandmother's laughter, the little girl immediately turned her head and quickly ran to her grandmother.
Feng Ruoruo threw herself into her grandmother's arms and hugged her grandmother and asked, "Grandma, what are you laughing at?"
Seeing her little granddaughter coming over, Lu Cuiling hugged her, then quietly showed her the phone and had fun with her.
"Look, there are so many people here promoting Ruoruo's restaurant online. Many people say that the fried rice and noodles made by Ruoruo's father are so beautiful that they taste good just by looking at them."
Lu Cuiling pointed to the post that made her laugh out loud and said, "Ruoruo, take a look at this one. It says that just by looking at the photo of the noodles made by Ruoruo's father, you can eat three more bowls of rice."
Feng Ruoruo didn't laugh immediately after hearing this. Instead, she asked in surprise, "Grandma, why can I eat three more bowls of rice just by looking at the photo?"
Seeing that her granddaughter didn't understand, Lu Cuiling continued to explain to her.
"What it means is that he doesn't need to come to the restaurant. Just looking at the food that Ruoruo's father cooks will make him eat well. This means that the food that Ruoruo's father cooks is very beautiful and makes people want to eat it just by looking at it."
As a result, this explanation made little Feng Ruoruo unhappy.
"Oh, then everyone will just eat by looking at the pictures of Dad's food and won't come to the restaurant. We can't let them see it."
Feng Ruoruo's different understanding completely confused her grandmother.
After a while, Lu Cuiling reacted and couldn't help laughing: "Oh, little girl, you really made me laugh to death, you are really so funny."
Seeing her grandmother burst into laughter, Feng Ruoruo still didn't quite understand: "Grandma, is what Ruoruo said wrong?"
Lu Cuiling quickly said, "Nothing is wrong. Ruoruo is right. It's right."
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "Then grandma, you are still laughing at Ruoruo."
Lu Cuiling explained: "No, how could grandma laugh at Ruoruo? Grandma just thinks Ruoruo is really cute and her words are very funny, so grandma laughed."
After listening to her grandmother's explanation, Feng Ruoruo accepted what her grandmother said.
But then, the little girl looked at her grandmother's phone and said, "Well, grandma, we have to tell them that they can't just look at the pictures, they have to come to the restaurant to eat, and dad's cooking is delicious."
Lu Cuiling agreed and said, "Okay, we'll tell them right away that they can't just look at the pictures of Dad's meals."
As her granddaughter requested, Lu Cuiling responded to the online comment.
"Well, the photos are indeed beautiful, but our Su Ji's boss said that you have to come to the restaurant to taste the food to know whether Dad's cooking is delicious, so you can't just look at the photos. Everyone is welcome to come and eat."
After replying, Lu Cuiling read it over with her granddaughter and asked her if it was okay to say that.
Feng Ruoruo smiled and said, "That's great, grandma is so nice."
Soon after Lu Cuiling sent out this reply, it naturally attracted a lot of attention, replies and reposts.
Many people on the Internet were curious and asked: "Who is this reply? Is it the boss of Su Ji?"
"It doesn't seem so. I'm at Su Ji, and the boss is busy in the kitchen at this time."
"Is that the boss lady?"
"The boss lady is also very busy."
"I know who it is. Judging from the tone, it must be the daughter of the boss and his wife."
"Yes, yes, that very cute little girl."
"Hahaha, that's the young boss of Su Ji."
"Then we should listen to the boss and go to Su Ji to try the food."
"Walking and walking."
"I'm already sitting in Su Kee and I just had a bowl of beef brisket I-fu noodles, it tasted really good."
…
The discussion on the Internet further fermented, and many people left messages under the reply sent by Lu Cuiling. Many people said that they would definitely come to Su Ji to eat, and some wanted to see the lovely Feng Ruoruo.
Lu Cuiling did not expect that after she sent a reply in the tone of a little granddaughter, she gained a lot of attention from fans in the blink of an eye.
Faced with so much attention, especially many people clamoring to see Feng Ruoruo's photos.
Lu Cuiling could only respond seriously.
"I am the grandmother of the young boss of Su Ji. Our young boss is still young, so I can't reply to you for the time being. Because he is a child, I can't post photos, so I hope everyone can understand."
After this message was released, most people on the Internet expressed their understanding.
Many people even said that they would definitely go to Su Ji for a big meal and visit some small business owners.
Seeing that many people on the Internet were so enthusiastic, Lu Cuiling suddenly felt that her son and daughter-in-law should actually create a Weibo and public account for Su Ji. In this way, they can publish some news and videos, which will definitely gain a lot of fans and facilitate subsequent publicity.
With this idea in mind, Lu Cuiling finally returned to the cashier counter and sat down to rest while her daughter-in-law finished taking her order, and told her daughter-in-law this.
"Ruoxi, please discuss this with Yifan. I think it would be a good idea to have a Weibo account and a public account."
Su Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Mom, but Yifan and I are very busy. Ruoruo is still young. We have set up Weibo and a public account, so we may not have time to take care of them most of the time."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "Then let mom help you take care of it. Anyway, I usually manage our village vegetable public account."
Lu Cuiling is indeed more experienced in Weibo and public accounts.
Because of the Yanghu Township Vegetable Base, the Weibo account and the official account were all built by her.
At the beginning, she didn't know much and didn't know how to operate it. Later, she looked up a lot of information and figured it out bit by bit. Finally, she operated the official account very well.
Seeing her mother-in-law's enthusiasm, Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Okay, let Yifan build it and let me run it."
Lu Cuiling assured with a smile: "Don't worry, Mom will definitely help you manage the operation very well."
One afternoon, the small restaurant was busy with people coming and going. Feng Yifan and Lin Ruifeng were busy in the kitchen. Su Ruoxi was also busy in the restaurant in front, and Lu Cuiling and Feng Jiandong would help from time to time.
As for little Feng Ruoruo, she is still the little figure running back and forth between the restaurant and the kitchen.
At such a noon, the diners who came here because of its reputation really felt that the food was worth it.
Although Su Ji only has fried rice and noodles for lunch, whether it is the fried rice with many varieties or the Yi Fu noodles with various unique toppings, they are all eye-opening for diners and they also give them a delicious shock.
The most important thing is that the price of each item is very suitable.
It seemed that the bowl of Yi Fu noodles with double toppings that Shen Qingluo ate was only 60 yuan when he paid the bill.
In Shen Qingluo's opinion, this was a great value for money, and she even thought it was a little too cheap.
This is also a very common feeling among many diners who come to eat here.
I just think that the food at Su Ji is really good value for money.
A bowl of Yi Fu noodles with toppings costs about 20-30 yuan, and the toppings are quite generous. Fried rice may be even cheaper.
Let everyone enjoy delicious food easily.
When he paid and left, Shen Qingluo had already walked out the door, but he couldn't help but look back and asked a question in a slightly embarrassed manner.
"Excuse me, what time do you open in the evening?"
Without waiting for Su Ruoxi to answer, Feng Ruoruo immediately jumped out and replied with a smile: "Beautiful sister, our restaurant opens at five in the evening. If you want to come and eat dad's food, you have to come a little earlier."
After hearing the little girl's answer, Shen Qingluo smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you little sister, I will definitely come on time."
Shen Qingluo waved goodbye to the little girl.
Feng Ruoruo also smiled and waved her hand: "Bye, sister."
After leaving Su Ji, Shen Qingluo still felt very happy. She finally tasted the flavor that her grandma had described. She also finally understood why her grandma had been thinking about it for so many years.
Su Ji, a small restaurant located on an old street, deserves to be known by more people for its persistence in taste.
After leaving Su Ji, Shen Qingluo continued walking on the old street, heading towards the west side of the old street.
After passing the section dominated by restaurants, they came to the section dominated by various handicrafts. Shen Qingluo saw Liu Wanhua's embroidery shop at a glance and walked quickly towards the shop.
