Wang Cuifeng looked extremely reluctant as she drank the red bean milk that her husband had queued up to buy for her.
The red bean milk tasted delicious. Wang Cuifeng drank two sips and asked, "Yifan, did you teach Lao Lin to make this soy milk?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, this is actually very simple. Just add some red beans when grinding soy milk. It's not that difficult."
When Wang Cuifeng finished drinking, there was some ground red bean dregs at the bottom of the bowl. She thought it tasted good. "What's the matter with this bean dregs?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied: "This is even simpler. First, boil the soy milk separately. After it boils, add these bean dregs separately."
Wang Cuifeng used a small spoon to scoop out the bean dregs and eat them. Because the bean dregs have been ground and cooked, they feel very dense in the mouth, and are really delicious when mixed with soy milk.
"Well, Yifan, you really brought a lot of things back this time."
As she spoke, Wang Cuifeng couldn't help but look at the two large wontons left in Feng Ruoruo's bowl. She really wanted to snatch the two large wontons.
Just looking at the wontons with their thin skin and generous fillings, one can't help but drool.
Noticing that Wang Cuifeng was staring at Wondun, Su Ruoxi whispered a reminder in her daughter's ear.
The little girl also raised her head suddenly, and just happened to catch Wang Cuifeng staring at the wontons in her bowl.
Wang Cuifeng was caught and quickly looked away, pretending not to care and continued eating the bean dregs.
Then Feng Ruoruo asked, "Aunt Feng, do you want to try my dad's wonton?"
Wang Cuifeng was so delighted when she heard this, but she pretended not to care and said, "Are you going to give your leftovers to Aunt Feng?"
Feng Ruoruo pouted and said, "Aunt Feng, if you don't want to eat it, then Ruoruo can eat it yourself."
Wang Cuifeng surrendered instantly: "Eat it, of course Aunt Feng wants to eat it."
Seeing that Aunt Feng wanted to eat, Feng Ruoruo climbed onto the chair with a smile, stood on the chair, scooped up the wontons in the bowl with a spoon, and then handed it to Aunt Feng.
Wang Cuifeng immediately stood up, leaned over and ate the wonton in the little girl's spoon in one bite.
When you eat the wonton, the aroma of chicken soup first fills your mouth.
Then when you bite into the wonton, the sweetness of the meat filling spreads instantly.
Wang Cuifeng really had to admit that this wonton was the most delicious she had ever eaten. The filling was very fresh. In addition to the aroma of meat, you could taste chewy shrimp pieces, as well as some diced bamboo shoots and diced mushrooms.
Having just eaten the first one, Wang Cuifeng saw Feng Ruoruo handing her the second one, so she naturally opened her mouth to take it.
After eating two wontons, Wang Cuifeng sat down contentedly, savored the food for a moment and said, "Yifan, your wontons are also very good."
Seeing his wife's expression, Fan Chaodong couldn't help but smile and said, "Look at you. You are so grown up, but you are still fighting with other children for food. If you want to eat wontons, come over for lunch later."
Wang Cuifeng rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "Come over at noon. Can Feng Yifan make some wontons for us?"
Feng Yifan heard this and smiled and said, "Actually, you can have it at noon, but it won't just be wontons. If you want to eat, come over at noon and you can order the imitation dumpling noodles I prepared for lunch."
“Imitation dumpling noodles?”
Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng looked at each other.
Then Fan Chaodong asked, "What is that?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied: "It's actually dumpling noodles, but the noodles I used are still our family's Yifu noodles."
This answer made everyone suddenly realize.
Wang Cuifeng then asked curiously: "Yifan, you have noodles for lunch every day, and they are all homemade Yifu noodles. How can you ensure that there is a sufficient supply?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "It's very simple. Yifu noodles are fried, similar to instant noodles, so they can be stored for a long time. I make a new batch every morning, so I can accumulate a lot."
Fan Chaodong thought for a moment and said, "Yifan, you are very busy every day, right?"
Feng Yifan asked Fan Chaodong in return: "Brother-in-law, do you find it hard to make your own rice wine?"
Fan Chaodong answered subconsciously: "Why is it so hard? That's the job."
After saying this, Fan Chaodong immediately understood what Feng Yifan meant. He was just a cook, the current chef of Su Ji, and he had to do this job every day, so naturally he didn't feel tired.
Feng Yifan went on to say, "Maybe in the future, when the reconstruction of our old street is completed, our Su Ji will also be renovated. At that time, our Su Ji will change its business model."
The couple who owned the rice wine shop felt very strange.
Wang Cuifeng asked: "Yifan, how do you plan to change your business model?"
Feng Yifan did not hide it: "Maybe it will be changed to a reservation system."
This again surprised the couple.
After being surprised, Fan Chaodong thought about it carefully and felt that it seemed pretty good.
"The reservation-based business model should be quite suitable for your Su Ji. As long as your Su Ji can rebuild its reputation as a private kitchen restaurant with a history of a hundred years, I believe many people will be willing to make reservations to try it out."
After listening to her husband's words, Wang Cuifeng thought that this was indeed a good idea.
"That's right. In that case, Su Ji's business will be guaranteed and it won't be too busy."
But after thinking about it, Wang Cuifeng said, "But in our Huaicheng, is it really appropriate for Su Ji to turn it into a private kitchen restaurant with reservations? I always feel that Huaicheng may not be suitable for that."
Feng Yifan smiled and responded: "It is just a concept for now, and the specific implementation will have to wait for further discussion."
Wang Cuifeng suddenly felt a little sad: "Alas, now I regret it. I feel like I shouldn't have left here."
When Fan Chaodong heard this, he couldn't help but say, "In fact, a rice wine shop like ours can be run without leaving this old street. When the renovation is underway, we can just deliver the wine outside."
Wang Cuifeng was annoyed when she heard her husband say that: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? We have already found a place with Uncle Li and the others."
Feng Yifan asked, "Sister, brother-in-law, where is the new place you found?"
Wang Cuifeng hesitated and didn't want to say anything, but Fan Chaodong couldn't help but said, "Actually, Xiao Yang and Lao Li went to see the place. It's four intersections east of the old street. Isn't there a new residential area over there? There is also a supporting food street."
Feng Yifan nodded: "That's fine, it's not far from here, you can still come back when you have time."
Fan Chaodong glanced at his wife, sighed and said, "It's just that that place looks a little deserted, and the recent re-promotion of the old street seems to have made it even more deserted."
Fan Chaodong's words made everyone in the restaurant silent. The Su family didn't know what to say.
Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng are now beginning to hesitate.
Finally, it was Feng Yifan who spoke up: "Sister, brother-in-law, if you really think that place is not good, you can stay here. Just like brother-in-law said, your rice wine is now delivered, and the reconstruction of the old street will have little impact on you."
After hearing what Feng Yifan said, the couple were still a little hesitant.
Wang Cuifeng finally said, "Yifan, why didn't you come back earlier? If you had come back earlier, we would have stayed with Su Ji. It just so happened that after the reconstruction notice came, Uncle Rong had an accident. We were all very worried at the time."
In fact, Feng Yifan could also understand what Wang Cuifeng said.
Under the circumstances at that time, no one knew how the reconstruction of the old street would proceed, so everyone was a little panicked.
In the midst of the panic, those who wanted to continue their business naturally had no choice but to find a new shop.
After all, Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng's families, as well as Yang Zhigang and Li Jianping's families, all rent their shops, so if they really need to be demolished and rebuilt, there would be no point for them to stay in the old street.
Feng Yifan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. Sister and brother-in-law can go back and discuss it. You can also ask Uncle Li and Brother Yang to come over and have a chat."
Fan Chaodong said directly: "There is no need to ask the two families. They are definitely going to move out because the shops over there have been rented."
Feng Yifan was somewhat helpless: "Alas, we can only wish them good luck and hope they can continue to make a lot of money in their new place."
Wang Cuifeng thought for a long time, but still couldn't make up her mind. She said to her husband, "Have you finished eating? Let's go back. I need to think about this carefully."
Fan Chaodong naturally understood his wife's hesitation, so he ate the remaining pot stickers and said, "Okay, let's go back."
Feng Yifan and the others also stood up and left Su Ji's with the couple.
After they left, Su Jinrong said, "Some old neighbors are destined to die, so we won't force them to stay."
Feng Yifan looked at his father-in-law and said, "I know, Dad. We just need to manage ourselves well."
Su Jinrong nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Feng Yifan packed up his things and went to the kitchen to start preparing various ingredients for today.
The soup must be boiled first, and then some ingredients needed for toppings also need to be processed.
While his daughter was not here yet, Feng Yifan went to the water room in the back alley and plucked the feathers of the four geese to prevent his daughter from feeling uncomfortable seeing the bloody scene.
The boiling water was poured over the goose in the bucket.
After completely soaking the four geese, Feng Yifan began to remove the feathers very quickly with his hands.
Speaking of hair removal, Feng Yifan had done a lot of it when he was abroad, so he was quite experienced. He quickly cleaned up the goose feathers before the water temperature dropped.
After that, the four geese need to be cleaned several times to make sure that all the fluff is removed.
Finally, four plump geese were obtained.
Taking advantage of the remaining hot water, Feng Yifan gutted the goose and cleaned out its internal organs from behind its butt.
Throw away what is inedible, and keep all that is edible.
The goose's feet and arms were also chopped off and placed together with various edible internal organs.
These are all very delicious when braised.
As for the remaining four goose bodies, Feng Yifan decided to use two of them for salted goose and one for soup. As for the remaining one, Feng Yifan wanted to deal with it and make a roast goose for his daughter when he had time.
After processing the goose, Feng Yifan opened the door of the water room and saw Zhao Daxia who was already standing at the door.
"Sister Zhao? Why are you here so early?"
Zhao Daxia also looked puzzled: "Is it still early? It's already past nine o'clock. What are you doing in the bathroom, boss?"
Feng Yifan picked up the bucket in his hand and said, "Aren't you cleaning up the four geese you bought?"
Zhao Daxia took a look in the bucket and said, "Wow, these four geese are really fat."
Then, Zhao Daxia looked Feng Yifan up and down and asked, "Boss Feng, you didn't buy it and kill it yourself, did you?"
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, mainly because the four geese were very fresh, and I was in a hurry at the time, so I didn't ask the boss over there to kill them for me. It actually doesn't take much time to kill them myself."
Zhao Daxia was even more surprised and said, "Boss, you are really amazing. You can kill a goose by yourself."
As he was talking, he heard his daughter calling from the kitchen: "Dad, where are you?"
Feng Yifan quickly said to Zhao Daxia, "Sister, don't tell Ruoruo in front of me that I killed these four geese myself. Just say that I used live geese and exchanged them with the merchant to slaughter and clean them."
Zhao Daxia also has a child, so she naturally understood what Feng Yifan was thinking.
"Well, don't worry, boss. I understand."
Feng Yifan smiled and said to his daughter, "Dad is here."
Feng Ruoruo pulled back and saw her father and Aunt Zhao standing at the door of the bathroom. She was a little surprised: "Dad, what are you and Aunt Zhao doing here?"
Feng Yifan raised the bucket in his hand and said, "Dad, aren't you cleaning the geese?"
Zhao Daxia smiled and said to the little girl, "Auntie just arrived and hasn't started work yet. Ruoruo got up very early this morning? Have you eaten yet?"
When Feng Ruoruo heard Zhao Daxia's question, the topic was immediately changed and she started talking to Zhao Daxia.
"Aunt, you're late. We've already had breakfast. Dad made me steamed buns and delicious wontons this morning. The wontons he made were so big that I couldn't even eat one bite..."
Feng Yifan noticed that his daughter had started talking, so he quickly interrupted her and pulled her into the house: "Let's go in first, and you can talk to Aunt Zhao slowly after you go in."
Zhao Daxia also followed the little girl into the kitchen. She was really curious about the breakfast her father had made for her in the morning.
Zhao Daxia had eaten steamed buns and wontons before, but after yesterday's experience, she felt that the ones made by Chef Feng Yifan would definitely taste different.
It’s a pity that I arrived late in the morning, so I could only listen to Feng Ruoruo’s words.
Zhao Daxia followed him into the kitchen and was surprised to see all kinds of things on the kitchen counter and the pots cooking on the stove.
"Boss, are you open so early?"
Without waiting for her father to answer, Feng Ruoruo rushed to answer for her father: "No, Auntie, let me tell you, my father has to prepare all the ingredients for cooking before he can cook well."
Feng Yifan smiled and added: "Yes, you need to prepare the ingredients in advance before cooking."
When Zhao Daxia saw the big bowl of noodles, she asked curiously, "Boss, what are you going to do with such a big bowl of noodles?"
Feng Yifan explained again: "This bowl of noodles is used to make noodles. Our Su Ji noodles are all handmade. They are special Yi Fu noodles. In order to ensure supply, we need to make some every day."
Zhao Daxia was really shocked: "Boss, your restaurant is really special, it's different from other restaurants."
Feng Ruoruo immediately said, "Yes, grandpa's restaurant is different from others. Only grandpa and dad know how to make these."
Zhao Daxia now began to believe that this should indeed be a restaurant that has been passed down for hundreds of years.
