My daughter was taken out to play, and the afternoon at Su Ji Restaurant seemed a little deserted.
After suspending business, there was almost no one in the restaurant, except for Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi.
The cleaning of the kitchen has been completely handed over to Lin Ruifeng and Zhao Daxia.
This quiet afternoon actually became a rare leisure time for the couple.
Feng Yifan first moved two chairs and a table and placed them at the entrance of Su Ji, and placed some snacks on the table.
Then he took his wife and sat down at the square table at the door.
After Su Ruoxi was pulled by her husband to sit down, the two of them sat side by side at the door, facing the old street outside, which made her feel very strange, even a little funny.
"Don't you think it's weird to sit like this?"
Feng Yifan held his wife who was about to get up and leave: "Don't go, let's just sit here for a while. Think about it, haven't we sat here quietly like this for so many years?"
Su Ruoxi was pulled by her husband to sit down, but she had to face the busy old street outside.
Especially many people on the street, when passing by the door, they always can't help but turn their heads to look at the two people.
It really feels like I'm performing on the street.
There is a situation where you treat others as scenery, and others actually also treat you as scenery.
Su Ruoxi felt like a commodity in a window, waiting for customers to come.
Finally, Su Ruoxi couldn't help but stand up: "I won't sit here anymore. Sitting at the door, don't you realize that people outside are looking at us?"
Feng Yifan once again pulled his wife to sit down and said, "Let them watch. What's the big deal? Isn't it that every day you look at others and then they look at you?"
Pulling his wife to sit down, Feng Yifan took his wife's hand, picked up a piece of dessert and placed it in his wife's palm.
"It's okay. Let's just sit here, look at the scenery outside, eat some snacks, and drink some tea. Don't you think this is very comfortable? Why should we care whether others look at us or not? If they look at us, we just look back."
She first looked down at the snack in her palm, and then when she heard her husband's words, Su Ruoxi couldn't help laughing.
"Hahaha, what a person you are. Have you become a funny guy hired by the monkey today?"
Feng Yifan put his arms around his wife and whispered softly in her ear: "Just imagine if the two of us were gray-haired now, older than our parents.
Then I and my apprentice finished our work in the kitchen, and on such a beautiful afternoon, the two of us sat here at the door.
We asked the apprentice to set up the tables and chairs for us, and also to serve us some refreshments. We sat here and watched the passers-by on the old street.
Think about that feeling, think about it.”
After hearing what her husband said, Su Ruoxi seemed to see that scene all of a sudden.
It's really a very graphic situation.
At that time, the two people were two elderly people. After finishing their busy lunch, they did this in front of the restaurant, leisurely basking in the sun and enjoying the leisure time in the afternoon.
Thinking of this, Su Ruoxi suddenly felt that it was indeed a wonderful feeling.
But on second thought, Su Ruoxi felt something was wrong: "Hey, we two are not that old yet."
Feng Yifan held his wife's hand and slowly pushed the snack in his palm to his wife's mouth.
"Just think of us as reaching that age in advance, and enjoying the golden wedding anniversary of old age."
Seeing her husband holding her hand and bringing the snack to her mouth, Su Ruoxi was stunned for a moment, then after a little hesitation, she opened her mouth and took a bite.
Taking a bite of the snack and savoring the flavor carefully, I suddenly felt a little old.
Then, Su Ruoxi held the remaining snack in her palm and brought it to her husband's mouth.
Feng Yifan opened his mouth with a smile. When he was about to take a bite, Su Ruoxi suddenly took the snack back and ate it herself.
"Hahaha, if you want to eat, can't you just get it yourself?"
Before Feng Yifan could recover from his shock, Su Ruoxi continued to say with a smile, "You are so old, you should move more, otherwise your old arms and legs will not obey you, get it yourself."
Feng Yifan then started laughing because he knew his wife was already into the role.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
He followed his wife into the act, even pretending to tremble with his hands, as he picked up a piece of dessert, slowly brought it to his mouth, and then took a bite.
Su Ruoxi used her hands to help remove the residue from her mouth, and did not forget to complain a few words.
"Old man, be careful when you eat. It's such a waste. Come on, open your mouth."
Su Ruoxi held the fallen residue in her palm, then handed it to her husband's mouth and fed him the residue.
In this way, the two people were really into the role, just like two old people basking in the sun at the doorway.
"Hey, how do you walk?"
"Hey, how do you walk?"
"What are you arguing about? It's obviously how you all walk."
"That's right, why did you stop while walking?"
"Ouch, my nose."
…
A sudden commotion on the old street woke Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi up.
Look intently towards the old street.
It turned out to be a passerby on the street, watching two people performing in front of Su Ji's door. Not knowing what was going on, he forgot to watch the road as he walked and watched.
As a result, passers-by bumped into each other head-on.
Seeing the pedestrians bumping into each other and falling over on the old street outside Su Ji, Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi looked at each other and laughed together.
Hearing the two people inside Su Ji’s door laughing, the person who was knocked down on the street stood up and complained.
"Boss, Boss Lady, you are still laughing. It's all your fault."
"That's right, what's going on between you two?"
"Yeah, are you acting?"
"Why does it look like a skit?"
…
Hearing the curious questions from pedestrians on the old street, Feng Yifan smiled and replied: "We have nothing to do during our lunch break. Just imagine, what will it be like for us to sit here during our lunch break when we are old?"
Feng Yifan's explanation startled the pedestrians on the street.
Afterwards, everyone was a little amused.
"Boss, you and the boss lady really know how to have fun."
"Can you still play like this? That's awesome."
"The boss is really sentimental. I think this is very romantic."
"Yeah, I think it's romantic too."
"It's amazing that the boss could come up with such an idea. He is such a thoughtful person."
"But boss, next time you and your wife do this, can you not act so devotedly? You two are making it very difficult for us, the audience."
"Hahaha, I'm not acting at all, it's just my daily life."
"That's right, they have a good relationship as a couple, it's not an act."
…
Seeing that there seemed to be more and more people gathering around, Su Ruoxi naturally felt embarrassed. She eventually broke free from her husband and stood up.
"Okay, stop playing. You forgot to make snacks for your daughter. She will come back and ask for food."
Feng Yifan pulled his wife aside and said, "Let's play for a while longer. I've prepared snacks for Ruoruo. She can eat them when she comes back. Come on, come on."
Seeing her husband acting like a spoiled child, Su Ruoxi felt a little amused and helpless.
Finally, Su Ruoxi said with a straight face: "No more playing, hurry up and put the tables and chairs away, or I will be angry."
Feng Yifan knew that his wife was not really angry, but he still immediately showed fear.
"Okay, okay, I'll do what my wife wants right away."
Then, Feng Yifan stood up and quickly returned the tables and chairs to their original positions.
The onlookers outside the door started to make a fuss when they saw this scene.
"Oh, the boss is henpecked."
"Hahaha, it turns out the boss is henpecked."
"Chef Feng, you are such a coward. You are so afraid of the boss lady."
"Chef Feng, you are really embarrassed today."
…
Hearing the people outside making a noise, Feng Yifan said with a smile: "How can I be afraid of my wife? I am showing my love for my wife. You guys who don't even have a girlfriend don't understand this kind of happiness at all."
As soon as these words came out, the crowd watching outside the door immediately wailed.
"Ah, what the boss said is so heartbreaking."
"It's fine if they just feed him dog food, but they actually kill him and destroy his heart. How abominable."
"We want to protest. We will eat two bowls at Su Ji next time to make the boss work harder."
"Yes, to make him too tired to show off his affection."
"Hahaha, this is a really great idea."
“I’m just worried that your wallets won’t be able to handle it.”
"As long as I don't eat three-prawn noodles every day, I should be able to handle it."
"Oh, by the way, three-prawn noodles, I didn't have it for lunch today."
"If you don't get to eat it, there's nothing you can do. You can only wait until next time."
…
When Feng Yifan heard everyone talking about the three-prawn noodles, he said seriously, "If you still want to eat the three-prawn noodles, it depends on whether I can get fresh prawns. They may be out of stock these days."
Hearing this, there was naturally another wailing outside.
Those diners who didn’t get to eat it were really looking forward to it, and some diners who did get to eat it were also looking forward to eating it again.
But now Feng Yifan said that the three-shrimp noodles might not be available in the next few days, which really makes everyone look forward to it even more.
Fortunately, for diners who are familiar with Su Ji, Su Ji does not only serve three-prawn noodles. There are so many noodles with different toppings at noon, which are still worth a try.
Feng Yifan and Su Ruoxi had a very happy afternoon.
This was the first time for the two of them to play such an interesting game together so intimately.
Life always needs some little spice.
Su Ruoxi had never known that her husband could be so romantic. Although she complained about her husband being childish, when she was really being played by her husband, Su Ruoxi felt that it was really romantic and sweet.
And when I think back on it, I really hope that one day when my husband and I grow old, we can really be like that.
But after savoring it, I still have to get busy again.
Su Ruoxi sat at the cashier counter and began to calculate the bill for today's lunch.
As for Feng Yifan, he had already gone to the kitchen to get busy.
The ingredients for dinner still need to be prepared in advance, otherwise the business may be very busy in the evening.
Although it is not the weekend, there are still diners from surrounding communities who come to Su Ji for dinner in the evening.
Or you can come with a few friends to order some dishes and have some drinks.
Although it is not the weekend, the evening is often not as busy as the afternoon, but Feng Yifan still takes it very seriously.
Entering the kitchen, Lin Ruifeng was still practicing his knife skills. After so many days, he had finally gotten quite good at it.
Zhao Daxia had finished packing and was sitting at the door, watching Lin Ruifeng practice.
Zhao Daxia would occasionally say a few words: "Xiao Lin, you practice like this every day, don't you feel bored? You have been following the master for so long, is this all you practice to cut vegetables?"
Lin Ruifeng paused when he heard this, then looked at Zhao Daxia and said, "Sister, Master told me that you must persist in doing anything, and nothing can be accomplished overnight.
We saw that the chef’s cooking skills were very impressive and he could handle any number of people with ease.
But in fact, Master also practiced this way in the beginning."
After hearing what Lin Ruifeng said, Zhao Daxia nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaolin, I've felt in the past few days that you are really a very hardworking young man. The key is that you can endure this loneliness."
At this point, Zhao Daxia sighed: "Every time I see you, I think of my son back home."
Lin Ruifeng looked at Zhao Daxia and asked, "Sister, how old is your son?"
Zhao Daxia replied: "My oldest son is fourteen this year, and my youngest is twelve. Alas, they have been away for more than half a year, and I don't know how they are doing at home."
Lin Ruifeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister, if you miss your son, just go back and see him."
Zhao Daxia couldn't help but shake her head: "Where can I go back? I still have to make money."
Lin Ruifeng added: "Then you can wait until the summer vacation and let them come to see you, and you can also take them here to play."
Zhao Daxia shook her head again, and it seemed like she had something to say, but she didn't say it. It seemed like she had something to hide.
Lin Ruifeng didn't pay attention. Seeing that Zhao Daxia didn't say anything, he continued to practice his knife skills.
As a bystander, Feng Yifan paid attention to it and felt that something must have happened to Zhao Daxia that forced her to be unable to visit her children.
Imagine a mother who cannot see her children. She must be very sad.
However, Feng Yifan did not ask directly, but decided to let his wife or mother ask when they have time.
After all, they are all women, and it might be easier to ask questions when they are together.
Feng Yifan walked past the wall of the kitchen and came into the kitchen. He looked at Lin Ruifeng and said, "Not bad. Ruifeng practiced very hard today. So you can help me tomorrow. Do you have the confidence?"
Lin Ruifeng was stunned when he heard this and subconsciously wanted to agree.
But Lin Ruifeng changed his mind and thought, his master is going to compete with others in cooking tomorrow. What if his master makes a mistake and causes an error
Thinking of this, Lin Ruifeng hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Master, how about asking Uncle Master or Aunt Master to help you tomorrow?"
Feng Yifan laughed when he heard this: "Why? No confidence? Are you scared?"
Lin Ruifeng nodded and said, "Master, I'm worried that I might make a mistake and cause trouble for you."
Feng Yifan walked up to his apprentice, stretched out his hand and patted his shoulder heavily: "You have to remember that confidence is important at all times. Only when you are confident can you do well what you should show."
Without giving his apprentice any more time to hesitate, Feng Yifan said directly: "It's settled. You help me tomorrow."
