The sudden arrival of so many neighbors on the old street really shocked everyone in Su Ji.
After letting everyone in, the first to come out were the couple Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng from the rice wine shop, holding the beautiful little porcelain bottles they had prepared.
"My husband and I know that Ruoruo was born in the Year of the Goat, so we asked the person who made our wine pot to make three lamb cups for Ruoruo. We gave them to Ruoruo, who can use them to drink water or entertain her friends."
Mr. Fan Chaodong and Mr. Wang Cuifeng were very thoughtful and specially customized three lamb cups, with three completely different shapes.
One cup has a sheep's horn as the handle, and the whole cup looks like an inverted sheep's head.
One cup is made to look like a goat's head, with a handle that has a goat's beard extending out from it.
The last cup has three lambs lying on the top of the cup handle, the bottom of the handle and the edge of the cup. It is really interesting that the three lambs are facing each other from a distance.
When Feng Ruoruo saw the cup with three little lambs on it, she immediately fell in love with it and thought it was really beautiful.
"Hehehe, thank you Uncle Fan, thank you Aunt Feng."
Feng Ruoruo couldn't put the Three Little Lambs cup down after she started holding it.
Next came old lady Liu Wanhua, who prepared a shawl specially embroidered with a lamb for the little girl to match the dress she had made with Shen Qingluo.
Feng Ruoruo also liked it when she saw it: "Yeah, it's also a little lamb, so cool."
Tang Zhuochen made a bamboo lamb for Ruoruo.
Lin Zekang prepared a wooden carved lamb for Feng Ruoruo.
And Yang Zhigang who lives next door went to buy several stuffed lambs specifically for Feng Ruoruo.
All of a sudden, Feng Ruoruo received a lot of lambs, all of various shapes and sizes, which made the little girl feel overwhelmed and she didn't know which lamb to play with.
Even the old couple from the Lin family who ran the breakfast shop next door were given a sheep-shaped pillow by Feng Ruoruo. It was Lin Ruifeng who asked the old couple to buy it for Feng Ruoruo.
There were really many sheep received. Feng Ruoruo said with a happy smile: "There are so many sheep, mee mee, our home is about to become a home for sheep."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei were also envious when they saw it, but the two little girls were also very happy.
In the end, Feng Ruoruo’s favorite was the Yangyang porcelain cup given by Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng.
The three small porcelain cups of different shapes really made Feng Ruoruo unable to let go of them.
Then Feng Ruoruo asked her two good friends to choose one each.
"Xixi, Feifei, you two can pick one each, so that the three of us can each have one, and then you can take it home to drink."
Chen Yaofei immediately said, "No, this is a gift from Uncle Fan and Aunt Feng to you."
Yang Xiaoxi also nodded and said, "Yes, this is for you, Ruoruo. Feifei and I can't have it."
Feng Ruoruo was very persistent: "No, Xixi, Feifei, you two can each choose one. I have three here, and you two are also born in the Year of the Sheep, so this way we can have all three."
Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei were still a little hesitant and felt embarrassed to ask for Feng Ruoruo's birthday present.
Seeing the three little girls being so polite was also very interesting to everyone.
Feng Yifan smiled and said to Fan Chaodong and Wang Cuifeng, "Look, why don't you two prepare three groups? That way we will have all three little lambs, right?"
Wang Cuifeng immediately pretended to be angry: "Hey, what's the matter? We gave your daughter a gift, and there was a problem?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Of course. Don't you see we have three little sheep here? Wouldn't it be better if you just send one group?"
Wang Cuifeng looked at the three little girls and said, "Then I'll give three away. There's just enough for each of the three little lambs."
Before Feng Yifan could speak, Wang Cuifeng said, "And it just so happens that our family missed giving Yang Xiaoxi a gift last time, so we will also give Chen Yaofei a gift next time."
Feng Yifan laughed immediately after hearing this: "Hahaha, it's really hard to take advantage of Sister Feng. Besides, it was obviously a gift but she insisted on giving it to three children. Sister Feng is indeed the best business person on our old street."
Fan Chaodong was also at a loss for words, so he could only quickly say, "How about this, next time I'll go and order a set for Xixi and Feifei as well, one for each of the three little girls."
Hearing this, Chen Yaofei's grandparents quickly said, "No, no, today is for Ruoruo's birthday, so we don't want Feifei."
Li Feier also said: "Yes, our Xixi has already celebrated her birthday, how can she ask for another gift?"
Yang Zhiyi asked directly: "Brother Fan, can you tell us where to order it? Then our two families can order one for our daughter."
What’s interesting is that while the adults were discussing it, the three little girls had actually already been assigned.
After discussion, Yang Xiaoxi wanted the one with the sheep horn handle.
The man with goatee gave the hand to Chen Yaofei.
The remaining three lambs were left behind by Feng Ruoruo alone.
So when the parents were discussing how to customize it, three little girls, Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei, suddenly ran over together.
"No need to do it again, the three of us have already divided it."
"Yes, I want this sheep horn one."
"I want the one with the goatee."
Feng Ruoruo held up her three lambs and said, "Ruoruo wants these three lambs. These three lambs are Ruoruo, Xixi, and Feifei."
Seeing that the three girls had been assigned, Su Ruoxi smiled and said, "Look at you adults, you are not as good as the children."
Hearing her mother's words, Feng Ruoruo said with a smile: "Yes, they are not as good as us kids."
When Feng Ruoruo said this, all the adults started laughing.
At this moment, Su Ji was filled with laughter.
With so many requests from neighbors on the old street, Feng Ruoruo's birthday was really lively and filled with a special kind of warmth.
Feng Yifan asked everyone to stay: "Everyone must stay. I will cook a banquet for everyone tonight so that everyone can celebrate my daughter's birthday together."
Hearing what Feng Yifan said, Wang Cuifeng immediately said, "Isn't this what we are waiting for, Chef Feng?"
Wang Cuifeng's words immediately made everyone laugh. Liu Wanhua smiled and said, "Cuifeng is indeed a very good talker. She will never give Yifan any chance once she opens her mouth."
Lu Cuiling also smiled and said, "That's right, Cuifeng is really good at talking. I'd better ask Cuifeng to help Ruoxi more in the future, so that Yifan won't bully Ruoxi."
Upon hearing this, Wang Cuifeng immediately assured Lu Cuiling: "Don't worry, with me here, no one can bully my sister Ruoxi. If Yifan dares to treat Ruoxi badly, I will deal with him."
Seeing this, Feng Yifan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "How dare I bully Ruoxi? I've been so kind to Ruoxi."
Wang Cuifeng continued, "By the way, I heard that Yifan and you guys were in the kindergarten at noon, but you cooked a lot of delicious food for the kids. Your dinner can't be worse than the one in the kindergarten."
When the three little girls Feng Ruoruo, Yang Xiaoxi and Chen Yaofei heard this, they immediately came forward and talked to everyone about the kindergarten.
"Auntie Feng, let me tell you, my dad made delicious lunch boxes for us in kindergarten. There were beef, chicken, and other delicious side dishes. They were really delicious."
After Feng Ruoruo finished speaking, Yang Xiaoxi added: "Yes, everything that Father Feng cooked was delicious. We ate a lot of delicious food together. The rice was also delicious. It tasted a little bit sour. We all liked it very much. Many children in the kindergarten only eat rice."
Chen Yaofei followed up and said, "Yes, many children don't eat those dishes. They just want to eat the rice, and then give the dishes to their parents."
Wang Cuifeng had never seen it with her own eyes, nor had she ever tasted the rice, so she felt a little strange about just eating rice.
"Why are you only eating rice? Shouldn't rice be eaten with vegetables? Aren't those vegetables delicious?"
At the same time Wang Cuifeng asked this question, Su Lanxin, who had already returned to the hotel, also seriously asked her secretary Mei Ru about what happened at the lunch competition in the kindergarten.
Su Lanxin was also very curious when she learned that rice was the children's favorite food in the lunch boxes made by Feng Yifan.
"Do you know what's so special about those meals?"
Mei Ru shook her head: "Boss Su, I don't know either. It seems that something was added to the rice."
Secretary Mei Ru had just finished speaking when Su Liancheng came out from the next room and said, "The rice was seasoned before it was steamed, and Feng Yifan added some chopped salted sour plums to the rice, which made the rice very appetizing and relieved the greasiness in the mouth, and increased the taste of the rice."
After hearing what her son said, Su Lanxin immediately understood why Feng Yifan's bento received overwhelming praise.
It’s because Chen Wei’s high-end buffets make both children and parents very sick of eating them.
Then Feng Yifan's rice with salted sour plums just relieved the greasiness of eating high-end ingredients, so as a result, more people chose to support Feng Yifan.
Seeing that his mother didn't get angry, Su Liancheng continued, "The bento made by Feng Yifan is indeed based on the theme of parent-child relationship. The combination of chicken and beef, as well as the addition of salted sour plums to the rice, are all designed to make the food in the bento more delicious so that the whole family will like it."
Su Lanxin nodded, then motioned for her son to continue.
Su Liancheng continued, "Although the ingredients used by the chef are very high-end and taste very good, many of them are not suitable for the whole family to eat together, especially some seafood. Some children may not like to eat them at all. Often, parents eat them, but the children don't buy them at all."
After listening to Su Liancheng's analysis, Mei Ru was actually very worried.
Was he worried that Su Lanxin would get angry? But he unexpectedly discovered that Su Lanxin didn't seem to be angry at all.
This scene made Su Liancheng and Mei Ru feel very strange
At the same time, in Su Ji's restaurant, Feng Yifan also shared some of the design ideas and details of his own lunch box.
“In fact, I use a cooking method for the chicken, and it is a black pepper flavor. It tastes a little bit spicy, but it is very tempting.
For beef, I stewed the pork belly, and the seasoning was mainly salty and sweet, and some tomatoes were added, so the taste is more suitable for children's preferences.
For the last rice, I added salt to make sour plums while I used the stewed beef broth to cook the rice. ”
After listening to what Feng Yifan said, Wang Cuifeng almost drooled.
Other neighbors on the old street who were present also thought that the dish must be delicious after hearing it.
Zhuang Daozhong walked over and said, "No wonder, no wonder Chen Wei lost so badly in the end, it's because your parent-child bento just makes up for the shortcomings of his high-end self-service food in terms of taste."
Yang Zhigang was a little surprised when he heard this: "Is there still a lack of high-end ingredients?"
Shi Jinbin said directly: "Yes, all ingredients have their shortcomings. High-end ingredients, especially meat, do taste great, but the biggest disadvantage is that you will get sick of it if you eat too much."
Yang Zhigang thought for a moment and said, "That's true. Foods like marbled beef are really greasy if you eat too much of them."
Shi Jiahui also came over and said, "So, Yifan uses salt to make sour plums to cook rice, which adds some plum fragrance to the rice and also makes the rice reveal a salty and sour taste, which can effectively relieve greasiness."
Yang Zhiyi said in surprise: "Didn't Yifan win by taking advantage of a little trick?"
When Li Feier heard what her husband said, she slapped him and said, "What are you talking about?"
Yang Zhiyi came to his senses immediately and quickly apologized to Feng Yifan: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
In Su Lanxin's room, Mei Ru also said the same thing: "So, Feng Yifan deliberately served the dishes later. Did he prepare in advance? Isn't it a way to please others if he did it on purpose?"
Su Lanxin said calmly: "Being able to take advantage of the opponent's problems can no longer be considered as trying to please others. Moreover, he probably didn't win simply to please others. He just wanted to make the children in the kindergarten eat healthier and make the children and parents happy to eat."
Su Liancheng looked at his mother, hesitated for a moment and said, "Feng Yifan really integrated the elements of family fun very well."
A smile suddenly appeared on Su Lanxin's face: "Maybe that's what we don't have."
Such a sentence shocked Su Liancheng and Mei Ru who were present.
The two of them looked at each other, not daring to speak for a moment, as they always felt that Su Lanxin would change her expression and get angry the next moment.
But after waiting for a while, Su Lanxin did not get angry, but just asked Su Liancheng to go back and rest.
"Okay, Lian Cheng, go back and rest first. We'll talk about the restaurant chain together during dinner."
Su Liancheng hesitated for a moment, but did not dare to stay. He said goodbye to his mother and left.
Su Lanxin left Mei Ru alone and said to her calmly, "Please buy me a gift and send it to Su Ji. Today is Ruoruo's birthday, and I, as her great aunt, still have to give her a gift."
Mei Ru agreed and asked, "Okay, Mr. Su, what would you like to give me?"
Su Lanxin thought for a moment and said, "You decide for yourself. Just choose something the little girl likes. Go ahead. I want to take a break, too."
Mei Ru nodded and left the room. After Mei Ru and Su Liancheng left, Su Lanxin returned to the bedroom of the suite, turned on the computer and started a video call with a foreigner.
In Su Ji, everyone chatted happily for a long time. Around dusk, Feng Yifan went into the kitchen to start preparing his daughter's birthday dinner.
