The old street has enjoyed a second life through TV publicity, and Su Ji has become a restaurant that locals are looking forward to.
An endless stream of people flocked to the old street this weekend, bringing new life to many shops on the old street. The old people who usually go to Su Ji for lunch and have snacks and tea in the afternoon collectively missed lunch time for the first time.
Su Jinrong saw customers coming and going in the restaurant, but never saw the old people from the old street come, so he guessed something.
After thinking for a moment, Su Jinrong called his granddaughter, who was more relaxed at the moment, to his side.
"Ruoruo, can you help grandpa?"
Feng Ruoruo knew that her grandfather couldn't speak very fast, so the little girl was always very patient when talking to her grandfather. She would listen to her grandfather finish speaking before she would start talking to him.
Seeing that grandpa asked for his help, Feng Ruoruo nodded and agreed: "Okay, grandpa, tell Ruoruo."
Su Jinrong continued, "Today, Granny Liu and the others didn't come. Ruoruo, go and tell Dad to bring them food."
After listening to what grandpa said, Feng Ruoruo turned her head to look at the restaurant first. To make sure that Granny Liu and the others were not in sight, the little girl immediately agreed to her grandpa: "Okay, grandpa, Ruoruo will go and tell Dad to send food to Granny Liu, Grandpa Tang, Grandpa Lin and the others."
Su Jinrong smiled and nodded: "Yes, Ruoruo, you are really smart."
The little girl smiled happily and then ran quickly to the kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, she saw her father and Uncle Xiaolin busy at work. Feng Ruoruo waited for a while until her father took out the fried rice from the pot.
Then the little girl said to her father, "Dad, grandpa said that Granny Liu, Grandpa Tang, and Grandpa Lin didn't come to eat today, so he asked you to prepare some for them."
After hearing his daughter's words, Feng Yifan handed the fried rice to his apprentice and asked him to take it out and serve others according to their numbers.
Then Feng Yifan looked at his daughter and asked, "Grandma Liu, Grandpa Tang, and Grandpa Lin are not here? Is Grandpa Zhang here?"
Feng Ruoruo tilted her little head, looked up and thought carefully before saying, "No, Grandpa Zhang didn't come either."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Okay, Dad got it. Dad will make it for grandma and grandpa, and then ask Uncle Xiaolin to deliver it to them. Is that okay?"
Feng Ruoruo still thought about it seriously, nodded and said, "Okay, then Dad, you have to remember what Granny Liu, Grandpa Zhang, Grandpa Tang, and Grandpa Lin like to eat, don't make any mistakes."
Hearing his daughter's instructions, Feng Yifan responded seriously: "Okay, Dad will definitely not make a mistake."
Feng Ruoruo smiled happily, blew a kiss to her father, and turned to leave the kitchen.
The little girl left the kitchen and quickly ran to her grandfather, saying seriously, "Grandpa, Ruoruo has already told Dad, and Dad said that it will be ready soon and Uncle Xiaolin will deliver it to you."
Lu Cuiling came over at this time, and after hearing what her granddaughter said, she asked curiously, "Who are you sending it to?"
Feng Ruoruo immediately helped her grandfather answer: "Grandma, Granny Liu, Grandpa Tang, Grandpa Lin, and Grandpa Zhang didn't come to eat today. The master asked Dad to prepare it and send it to them."
After hearing this, Lu Cuiling raised her head and looked around the restaurant, and indeed did not see those old people there.
This also made Lu Cuiling a little strange: "Huh? Really, no one came. Is it because there are too many people at Su's today?"
Su Jinrong pointed at the people coming and going on the old street outside and said, "No, it's business. OK, come, no."
Lu Cuiling also glanced at the street outside and found that there were indeed many people on the street. She immediately understood: "Oh, there are indeed a lot of people here today. It's a good thing that business is good."
Then, Lu Cuiling said, "Then don't let Xiaolin go. Why don't Lao Feng and I take Ruoruo with us?"
After saying this to her father-in-law, Lu Cuiling asked her granddaughter, "Ruoruo, baby, do you want to go with grandpa and grandma to deliver lunch to those grandpas and grandmas?"
Feng Ruoruo agreed immediately after hearing this: "Okay, Ruoruo will go and deliver food to Granny Liu."
Su Jinrong smiled and said, "Please, you guys."
Feng Jiandong also came over and said, "What's the trouble? We just had some time to eat lunch, so we can go out for a walk and have a bite to eat. Besides, we're not too busy these days, so we can take Ruoruo out for a walk."
Lu Cuiling continued, "Yes, we'll go out for a walk and be back soon."
Feng Ruoruo said to her grandfather: "Grandpa, I will go with grandpa and grandma, we will be there quickly."
Su Jinrong nodded and agreed: "Okay, Ruoruo will go."
Little Feng Ruoruo waited for a while with her grandfather and grandparents, then became a little anxious and ran to the kitchen to urge her father not to let Grandma Liu and the others go hungry.
Feng Yifan was already doing it for several elderly people at this time. Not only that, he was also doing it for several neighbors on the old street.
Because he also guessed that the reason why no one came to have lunch today might be because business on the old street was too good.
This is a good thing, but it naturally brings up other problems.
For example, the shop cannot be separated from the staff, so there is no way to come to Su Ji for lunch on time.
Feng Yifan felt that as they had been neighbors for so many years, they should treat each other equally, so he made a portion for everyone and asked his apprentice to deliver it.
Feng Ruoruo entered the kitchen and saw her father busying himself. She waited for a while before saying, "Dad, are you done? Grandpa and grandma and I will go and deliver it to Grandma Liu, Grandpa Tang, Grandpa Lin, and Grandpa Zhang."
Feng Yifan turned his head and looked at his daughter: "Oh? You want to go with grandpa and grandma?"
Feng Ruoruo raised her chin proudly: "Yes, Ruoruo will go and send it off."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Okay, our Ruoruo has grown up now and can go and deliver lunch to grandpa and grandma, which is great."
The little girl was naturally very happy to receive praise from her father. She jumped up and down in the kitchen and even stayed to wait for her father to prepare lunch for the grandparents.
Feng Yifan also made good use of his time. While there were no new customers ordering food outside during this period of time, he quickly prepared food for several neighbors on the old street.
Everything was packed in lunch boxes. For example, for Yi Fu noodles, Feng Yifan even put the toppings and noodles separately.
This way, when you eat the noodles, they won’t lose their chewy texture due to being soaked for too long.
Everything was ready. Each person's belongings were placed in separate bags with names labeled on sticky notes. Then they were all packed in a large plastic bag and Feng Yifan took them out personally.
When Feng Ruoruo saw her father carrying a large bag, she followed him obediently without reaching out to take it.
Coming out of the kitchen, Feng Yifan quickly walked to his father-in-law and parents, holding a large bag in his hand and said, "So many, is this ok, Mom and Dad?"
Feng Jiandong was not happy when he heard this: "Hey, you little brat, you think your dad can't even carry such a bag so soon?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Dad, I don't mean to look down on you, I just think this big bag is a bit too much."
Lu Cuiling looked at the big bag in her son's hand and asked curiously, "Are there so many?"
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "Yes, there is also Sister Wang Cuifeng's house, Uncle Li's, and other old neighbors. I think business is good today, and everyone must be very busy."
After saying that, Feng Yifan glanced around the restaurant, thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll let Xiaolin go with you guys."
Feng Jiandong asked curiously, "You asked Xiaolin to go with you, but can you handle it by yourself? And Ruoxi is the only one left in the restaurant, isn't that too busy?"
Hearing his father ask this, Feng Yifan was a little hesitant. If he said he was busy, then it would be possible.
But my wife is still needed to greet the guests at the front, and is also responsible for the cashier, and may also have to clean the table. It may be a bit too busy.
Although most of the time, Feng Yifan would come to the front when the food was being served or when he was not busy, collect the finished dishes and clean the table.
But if the kitchen gets busy, he won't have much time, and his wife will still be busy.
When Feng Yifan hesitated, Su Ruoxi said, "It's okay, Mom. I can handle it. At worst, I won't send the dishes to the kitchen and wait for Yifan to come out and put them away."
Hearing her daughter-in-law's words, Lu Cuiling still felt a little distressed: "That would be very hard too."
Feng Yifan suddenly put down what he was holding, turned around and ran to the kitchen, and quickly pulled his apprentice out.
In front of his family, Feng Yifan pointed at the package and said, "Ruifeng, go and help deliver these to everyone. I've labeled the names. After you deliver them to the front, come back immediately and help greet the front, okay?"
After listening to the master's instructions, Lin Ruifeng naturally agreed immediately: "Okay, Master, I will definitely come back as soon as possible."
At this time, Lu Cuiling suddenly said, "How about this? Let's split up and have Xiaolin take care of the houses that are closer, and then we'll take Ruoruo with us to deliver the four brothers and sisters in the west. Isn't that okay?"
When Feng Yifan heard what his mother said, he smiled and said, "That's good. Mom and Dad don't have to worry so much."
Feng Jiandong said, "Okay, let's go now while there aren't too many new customers in the restaurant."
Feng Yifan and his apprentice quickly divided the prepared meal into portions, so that the parents only needed to carry four portions and take their daughter to the west side of the old street.
Lin Ruifeng had a harder time, as the remaining few were given to him. However, Lin Ruifeng was young and more enterprising, so he picked up the items and went out, quickly rushing towards the shops where they were to be delivered.
The first couple to receive the delivered food were Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng.
Today was indeed quite busy, as there were many people on the old street, so naturally, their rice wine shop also attracted quite a few people.
Especially when the wine jars were opened, the aroma of the wine spread far and wide, attracting too many guests to linger. Many people on the old street could not help but smell the aroma of the wine.
After selling rice wine on the old street for so many years, I have almost never had such good business.
With the business, the couple naturally forgot about eating and just wanted to take this opportunity to make a name for themselves.
Just as the couple was busy, they suddenly saw a figure push through the crowd at the door and stride directly into the shop. Then he picked out two bags from the bags in his hands and put them on the counter.
Lin Ruifeng did not linger for long and said directly: "My master asked me to bring lunch to Brother Fan and Sister Wang."
After saying this, Lin Ruifeng did not linger and pushed through the crowd again to leave the shop.
Lin Ruifeng's impetuous look really confused everyone.
When Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng came to their senses and wanted to say something, they found that Lin Ruifeng was nowhere to be seen.
The couple looked at the packed meals on the counter and looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Next, Lin Ruifeng went to Li Jianping's shop and several other shops near the east, delivering the lunch that his master had asked him to deliver to each of them one by one. He did not stay for long and also did not talk much.
After delivering all the items, Lin Ruifeng trotted back to Su Ji.
The timing was just right, as Su Ji was starting to welcome a new batch of customers, so Lin Ruifeng quickly began to clean up the restaurant's tables.
Unlike Lin Ruifeng who was in a hurry to deliver lunch and then rushed back to the restaurant to work.
The elderly couple Feng Jiandong and Lu Cuiling, holding their granddaughter's hand, walked towards the west side of the old street without being too hurried.
Although his pace was not slow, he didn't run all the way like Lin Ruifeng.
Feng Ruoruo saw many people on the street, and she was just holding her grandparents' hands. Although the little girl was quite courageous, she still felt a little timid in front of so many people.
However, with her grandparents around, Feng Ruoruo was not too scared.
After walking along most of the street, I finally arrived at Liu Wanhua's shop.
As soon as she entered the door, Feng Ruoruo saw the Hanfu sister who had eaten in the restaurant before, and immediately took the initiative to greet her: "Hello sister, why are you here?"
Shen Qingluo was also a little surprised. He didn't expect to see the little girl from Su Ji again so soon.
After a moment of silence, Shen Qingluo came back to her senses and responded with a smile: "Hello, sister is here to watch embroidery, what are you here for?"
Feng Ruoruo smiled and said, "Ruoruo, come with Grandpa and Grandma to bring lunch to Grandma Liu."
Liu Wanhua, who was busy behind the screen, heard Feng Ruoruo's voice and came out from behind the screen.
When Liu Wanhua saw Feng Jiandong and Lu Cuiling bringing their granddaughter to deliver lunch to her, she felt a little embarrassed: "Oh, how can I let you come here specially to deliver it? I neglected the time."
Lu Cuiling smiled and said, "It's okay. Sister, you are busy with business today and don't have time to go to Su Ji, so we will bring it to you. No matter how busy you are, you still have to eat."
Feng Ruoruo also said quickly: "Yes, yes, Granny Liu, you have to eat well."
Liu Wanhua was really touched. She didn't expect that even though Su Ji was so busy, he would still think about them, the old neighbors on the old street.
Especially since Feng Ruoruo also came to deliver meals, Liu Wanhua felt really happy.
After taking the lunch box, Liu Wanhua said seriously: "Thank you, and thank you Ruoruo, and especially thank you Jinrong, and Su Ji, for thinking of an old lady like me."
Only then did Liu Wanhua notice that there was a young girl standing in her shop. The girl was wearing Hanfu.
When Liu Wanhua carefully observed the embroidery on the Hanfu, she immediately took a few steps closer and observed it carefully. She looked at the girl with some surprise and asked, "Where did you buy this dress?"
Seeing the old lady in the embroidery shop so excited, Shen Qingluo was also a little nervous and listened to the other party's questions.
She hesitated and said, "I didn't buy this dress. I made it myself."
Liu Wanhua was a little surprised. She looked at the girl carefully and couldn't help muttering, "How is it possible? It shouldn't be? It shouldn't be."
Seeing Liu Wanhua's look, everyone felt a little strange and didn't know what to do for a moment.
