Back at Su Ji, the father and daughter originally planned to tiptoe and sneak in without waking anyone up.
But as soon as they opened the back door of the kitchen, they saw that the light was on inside, and grandma and mom were already waiting for them in the kitchen.
Seeing the expressions of his mother and wife, Feng Yifan instantly understood that his mother and wife must be angry, blaming him for running out with his daughter so early in the morning and going to a chaotic place like the vegetable market.
Fortunately, before his mother and wife could get angry, the clever Feng Ruoruo quickly and affectionately rushed towards his grandmother and mother.
"Grandma, Mom, why are you up so early?"
Next, without giving grandma and mom a chance to speak, Feng Ruoruo, the chatterbox, decisively rushed to speak: "Grandma, Mom, Ruoruo wants to tell you that Ruoruo and Dad went to the vegetable market this morning and saw a lot of interesting things."
Seeing his daughter start talking, Feng Yifan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that with his daughter as a chatterbox around, his mother and wife would not have the chance to lose their temper.
Unexpectedly, Su Ruoxi pulled her daughter over and coaxed her, "Ruoruo, let's go out and talk. You tell mom where you and dad went and what you saw, okay?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard her mother say this, especially that her mother was willing to listen to her chatter, the little girl immediately became very happy.
I even forgot the instructions my father gave me on the way back.
On the way back, Feng Yifan gave his daughter some instructions in advance.
"Ruoruo, let's go home. Grandma and mom will definitely be angry."
"Why? Why are grandma and mom angry?"
"Because Dad secretly took Ruoruo to the vegetable market early in the morning. Ruoruo is still a child. She shouldn't get up so early, nor should she go to a messy place like the vegetable market."
"Oh, Ruoruo knows. Grandma and Mom are worried that Dad will lead Ruoruo astray."
"Yes, Ruoruo is really smart. So what should Ruoruo do after she returns home?"
"Then Ruoruo should tell grandma and mom that it was Ruoruo who asked dad to take Ruoruo there."
"You can't say that. Dad can't let Ruoruo take responsibility for Dad."
"Then, what should Ruoruo say?"
"Ruoruo, what about when you go back? Tell grandma and mom that you saw something interesting in the market before they get angry. Remember to talk to grandma and mom together and make them listen to you carefully, okay?"
"Okay, but if Dad does this, won't Grandma and Mom be angry?"
"Yes, this way, when Ruoruo finishes talking and Dad makes breakfast, Grandma and Mom will not be angry after eating the breakfast made by Dad."
On the way back, the daughter heard her father's instructions and thought they made sense, so she naturally agreed.
As soon as she entered the door and saw her grandmother and mother, the little girl turned her head to look at her father, and from her father's eyes, she understood that he wanted her to tell the story first.
The little girl was indeed very smart. She understood what her father meant, and quickly told her grandmother and mother about what she saw in the vegetable market.
What Feng Yifan didn't expect was that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were waiting at home had already discussed it.
As if they knew that Feng Yifan would arrange for his daughter to tell stories in this way and keep his grandmother and mother busy, the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law had also discussed it beforehand.
After the father and daughter came back, the mother took her daughter out and left the space for the grandmother to teach the father a lesson.
Feng Yifan's wishful thinking was really a step behind.
Watching his daughter mumbling while being led out by his wife, Feng Yifan couldn't help but feel a hint of fear in his eyes when he looked at his mother again.
Finally, the daughter was taken out of the kitchen by his wife.
Feng Yifan quickly took the opportunity to speak before his mother could speak: "Mom, please listen to my explanation. Actually, I didn't want to take Ruoruo with me this morning, but Ruoruo woke up, so I thought, since I promised her before, so..."
When Lu Cuiling heard this, she immediately said seriously, "What's the matter? Ruoruo is still a child. Are you a child too?"
Next, Lu Cuiling was not polite at all. Although she lowered her voice intentionally so that her granddaughter would not hear, her expression was very fierce.
"You little brat, you dare to take your daughter to the vegetable market on a bicycle. What if something unexpected happens on the way? How are you going to deal with it so early in the morning?"
Feng Yifan quickly said, "Mom, didn't you and Dad ride bicycles with me when I was a child?"
When Lu Cuiling heard this, she glared at her son and said, "How can it be the same? There weren't as many cars back then as there are now."
Without giving Feng Yifan a chance to speak, Lu Cuiling continued, "Your dad has left the bike here, but you didn't drive there. Instead, you rode a broken bike there. It was dark, what if you lost Ruoruo?"
After talking about riding a bicycle, Lu Cuiling said, "Also, what is a vegetable market? There are so many people there, and it's so dirty and messy. How can you take your daughter there?"
It was another round of impolite criticism, leaving Feng Yifan completely unable to refute.
In short, it is wrong to ride a bicycle, and it is also wrong to take my daughter to the vegetable market.
Feng Yifan really didn't dare to argue and could only lower his head and listen to his mother's constant scolding.
After being scolded by his mother for half an hour, a car horn sounded outside the door. It was Zhang Qiang who came to deliver the goods. Feng Yifan finally found an excuse and said to his mother: "Mom, they are delivering the goods. Why don't you go to the front and rest first?"
Lu Cuiling was not an unreasonable person. She immediately suppressed her anger and said, "Okay, hurry up and unload the goods, and then make breakfast. Ruoruo must be hungry after running around with you all morning."
Feng Yifan really felt as if he had been pardoned: "Okay, Mom, I'll do it right away. You go to the front first and listen to Ruoruo tell you."
Lu Cuiling turned around, a smile quickly appeared on her face, and she quickly walked out of the kitchen.
Feng Yifan breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to reopen the back door.
As soon as Zhang Qiang got out of the car, he said, "Brother, you left too early. I didn't know that your exposure of Fatty Wang's incident today triggered a series of reactions. I heard that someone has come to the market to investigate."
Feng Yifan was a little surprised: "Oh? Someone came to investigate? To investigate the quality of the meat?"
Zhang Qiang nodded: "Yes, in fact, some people have responded to it before, but the source has never been found. This time, they should try to find the source from Fatty Wang."
Feng Yifan nodded and said, "This is a great thing. It can purify the market quality and improve the market reputation."
Zhang Qiang agreed: "Yes, our market has always been famous for its fresh and top-notch products. In recent years, it has been ruined by bad guys like Fatty Wang. It's time to clean them up."
Feng Yifan smiled and said: "So, our market will definitely be better, and the domestic environment is always improving."
Zhang Qiang nodded again: "Yes, brother, to be honest, there are always some people who think we are not as good as others, but I think we actually have many good points and we are constantly catching up with others.
Anyway, I think that all kinds of environments are getting better, just like our market, which has become much better over the years, clean and tidy, and the quality of all kinds of goods has also improved a lot.”
Feng Yifan agreed: "It will definitely get better and better. If we all work together and get rid of the bad apples, the environment will be better."
Zhang Qiang then started to unload the goods with Feng Yifan. Lin Ruifeng heard the noise and came out to join in.
Lin Ruifeng first helped unload Su Ji’s goods, and then moved some of his own goods to his own home.
Feng Yifan saw this and called Zhang Qiang to help.
Lin Ruifeng was a little embarrassed at first: "Master, you don't need to help me. I can move all the things in our house in a short while."
Zhang Qiang immediately said, "Hey, Xiaolin, you're talking as if I can't deliver the goods to your door. I'm going to deliver them to your door today."
Feng Yifan laughed when he saw this: "Hahaha, well, why should we differentiate between each other at this time?"
With the three of them working together, they naturally unloaded the goods quickly.
Zhang Qiang then said to Feng Yifan a little shyly: "Brother, I have something else I would like to ask you for help with."
Feng Yifan asked curiously: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Qiang hesitated for a while before saying, "This is it, brother. My dad really liked the braised pork you gave me last time. I wanted to ask if I could buy some from you to take back with me."
Feng Yifan laughed and said, "Hahaha, I thought it was something serious. If you want to eat it, just tell me. I'll bring you a piece."
Zhang Qiang immediately said, "No, no, brother, I must pay this time. Last time I didn't pay, my dad scolded me when I got home. I must pay this time. My dad told me to."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Give me a shitload of money. Do you think I don't know that your family didn't even add any extra money to the food I eat?"
Zhang Qiang quickly said, "No, no, brother, my dad actually knows that your parents are from Yanghu Township, so you can just ask your parents to supply you with vegetables from there. You are also doing this to take care of my family's business."
Feng Yifan answered seriously: "It's not just to take care of your business.
You can see that Su Ji needs to buy a lot of things every day, and some of the purchases have to be made with your dad’s help, so I’m actually doing this to save myself some worry.”
Zhang Qiang nodded and said, "Brother, I know. We are helping each other."
As Feng Yifan spoke, he took out a piece of braised pork from the refrigerator in the back kitchen, packed it in a box, and handed it to Zhang Qiang.
"So, if you want to eat this little bit of meat, just tell me. Don't mention the money."
Zhang Qiang looked at the lunch box and said immediately, "Brother, if you don't want to pay, I won't dare to take this piece of meat. If I take it back, my dad will definitely beat me."
Feng Yifan laughed when he heard this: "Not really? You're already this old, are you still afraid that Uncle Zhang will spank you?"
Zhang Qiang said helplessly: "Brother, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but with my small body, I really can't beat my dad."
After looking Zhang Qiang up and down, Feng Yifan indeed found that Zhang Qiang was not in good health. It might be due to long-term driving, he even had a little belly.
Zhang Qiang said again: "Brother, you must take the money, otherwise I really dare not take it back."
Finally, under Zhang Qiang's insistence, Feng Yifan had to accept some money.
Seeing Zhang Qiang getting in the car and starting it to leave from the back alley, Feng Yifan waved his hand and said, "Drive carefully on the road, don't be in a hurry."
Zhang Qiang smiled and stuck his head out and said, "I know, brother. You go back. I'm leaving."
After watching Zhang Qiang drive away, Feng Yifan looked at Lin Ruifeng and said, "You go ahead and do your work. If you are too busy, tell me and I will come over to help you and help Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin do more."
Lin Ruifeng nodded and said, "I understand, Master. Actually, I can do it now. I can't always rely on you."
Feng Yifan also gave his apprentice a thumbs up: "Well done, Master believes you can do it."
Seeing his master giving him a thumbs up, Lin Ruifeng really felt full of energy at that moment.
For Lin Ruifeng, he has always wanted to be recognized. Since he has been with Feng Yifan, he has gradually gained the recognition of his parents.
Especially two days ago, when his sister from another city called to ask about the situation at home, it was the first time that Lin Ruifeng heard his parents praising him on the phone with his sister. That moment really made Lin Ruifeng very excited.
Seeing his master giving him a thumbs-up again today, Lin Ruifeng felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction.
Seeing his apprentice returning full of energy, Feng Yifan also went back to the kitchen to make breakfast.
Although there are fried dough sticks, pot stickers and soy milk next door, you can't always eat fried dough sticks and pot stickers, after all, they are too greasy. So Feng Yifan still has to make them himself, so that his family can change the taste.
After thinking about it, Feng Yifan decided to make shrimp dumplings for his family today.
Just do it, the first thing is to make the filling.
In pursuit of freshness, Feng Yifan directly selected a batch of large and fresh shrimps from the prawns he bought from the market in the morning, and peeled them on the spot.
I peeled the fresh shrimps and cut off a piece of fat without any lean meat from the fresh meat I bought.
In addition, prepare diced bamboo shoots and cut the green onion and ginger into very fine pieces.
Next, make the filling. Wash the peeled shrimps and dry them with a dry towel.
Then put a shrimp on the chopping board, hit it with the blade of the knife, and then cut it twice. In this way, all the shrimps are processed and put into a plate for later use.
Then cut the fat into small dices. The fat is about one-third of the shrimp, and the bamboo shoots are one-third of the fat.
Then start mixing the stuffing. Mix the shrimps separately first, add only salt and white pepper. After mixing well, beat it on a plate to make the shrimp stuffing sticky.
Next is to mix the fat. Put the fat, bamboo shoots, and chopped green onion and ginger in another bowl, and add some seasonings for seasoning.
After mixing well, add the fat to the shrimps.
Mix the two fillings together with your hands.
Once mixed well, the filling is ready and put in the refrigerator to refrigerate.
Feng Yifan took out the noodles and prepared to blanch them.
Just as the water in the pot on the stove was boiling and Feng Yifan was using a large iron spoon to scoop water to boil the noodles, the door to the back kitchen was suddenly pushed open. Feng Ruoruo, whose hair had been tied up by her mother and who had changed her clothes, walked in.
Seeing her father scoop up boiling water with an iron spoon and pour it into the basin, Feng Ruoruo was very surprised: "Dad, what are you doing?"
