Hardcore Chef Dad

Chapter 454: Expectations for Apprentices (First Update)

Views:

Feng Yifan prepared lunch for the three little girls, including egg fried rice with some diced carrots and peas, topped with a large piece of roasted chicken leg, and finally poured sauce on it.

Each little girl is given a bowl of vegetable soup, which is really nutritious and tastes very good.

After it was done, Feng Yifan said to the children: "Okay, now it's done, let's go out and eat quickly."

The three little girls also clapped their hands and were so happy that they almost jumped up.

However, before leaving the kitchen, the three little girls did not forget that their parents were outside.

Feng Ruoruo said: "Dad, there are also grandpa, grandma and mom."

Yang Xiaoxi also said: "Yes, Father Feng, and Xixi's grandparents and father."

Chen Yaofei added: "Feifei's grandparents also want to eat lunch."

Feng Yifan smiled at the three little girls and said, "Don't worry, we have everything. Let's go out first and wait for Father Feng to ask everyone what they want to eat, and then come back to make it for them, okay?"

After hearing this, the three little girls were immediately very satisfied.

"good."

Then, three little girls led the way and surrounded Feng Yifan as they came out of the kitchen, still coming to the table next to the cash register.

The parents are sitting here waiting.

Seeing the three little girls and Feng Yifan coming out, everyone was looking forward to the lunch Feng Yifan would prepare for the children.

When Feng Yifan put down the food for the three little girls, the aroma wafted out and immediately attracted some other diners in the restaurant to look.

Seeing the completely different food on the table, many diners couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Nowadays, most of Su Ji’s diners know that on weekends, the boss will cook for his daughter at noon and make some very special and delicious lunch.

This is really something I can’t envy, because this special meal is usually only available to the boss’s daughter.

So even though they were staring at it eagerly and drooling, no diners asked for it anymore.

As soon as her father put the meal down, Feng Ruoruo came up to Su Liancheng and said, "Uncle, look, the lunch that my father prepared for me, Xixi, and Feifei is better looking and tastier than yours, isn't it?"

The little girl's performance amused everyone. No one expected that Feng Ruoruo would show off to her uncle.

Su Liancheng also stretched his head to take a look, and smelled the aroma of the fried chicken, which really made him salivate.

"Hmm, it smells really good. Can Ruoruo let uncle have a taste?"

Feng Ruoruo immediately refused: "Hehehe, that belongs to Feifei, Xixi, and me. You uncles can't eat it. Only children can eat it."

Su Liancheng pretended to be unhappy and said, "It's not fair, why can only children eat it?"

Seeing that her uncle was unhappy, Feng Ruoruo said with a smile, "Because this is made by Daddy specifically for children. Children can't eat what adults eat, right? We have to eat our own food. What Daddy makes for us is suitable for children and is different from what you adults eat."

Su Liancheng pouted and said, "But, uncle thinks yours tastes better."

Yang Xiaoxi immediately said: "Of course, we are children, ours must taste better."

When Mei Ru saw Su Liancheng talking to the little girl, she couldn't help but laugh. She suddenly realized that Su Liancheng actually had such a childlike side.

I have known Su Liancheng for such a long time. When we were in school, Su Liancheng always seemed very mature.

When I saw Su Liancheng in the company later, I felt that he always had some resentment.

Has some resentment towards his parents? That's why he always looks unhappy, not to mention showing childishness.

But now, he is talking to three little girls. He looks really childlike, like a big boy.

Although Feng Ruoruo said she would not give it to her uncle, she still asked her mother to help her in the end. She put a piece of chicken into a small plate and then sent it to her uncle and aunt to taste.

"Uncle gave it to you? You can try it with your aunt."

Su Liancheng and Mei Ru were also a little surprised to see the piece of chicken brought over by the little girl.

Meiru smiled and said to the little girl, "Thank you so much, Ruoruo."

Feng Ruoruo responded with a smile: "You're welcome."

Then, Feng Ruoruo quickly ran back to her grandfather and sat with Xixi and Feifei, and the three little girls began to eat their lunch.

As for lunch for others, Feng Yifan asked everyone and then quickly went to the kitchen to prepare it for everyone.

Of course, the adults’ lunch is not as fancy as that of the little girls, but it is also very exquisite.

During lunch, Xixi's grandmother said to Lu Cuiling: "Grandma Ruoruo, thank you so much for your advice. I will definitely get along well with my daughter-in-law when I go back."

Lu Cuiling smiled and responded, "You're welcome. It's better for young people to handle their own affairs. We, the elders, can just give some advice. For the real big things, it's better to let them make the decisions on their own. Be open-minded and don't force things."

At this point, Lu Cuiling leaned closer and whispered, "We are grandmothers after all, so we should be more tolerant of children."

After hearing this, Grandma Xixi nodded in agreement: "Yes, Grandma Ruoruo, you are absolutely right."

Yang Zhiyi saw that his mother and Feng Yifan's mother were having a very good chat, and he felt quite satisfied. He thought that if he returned home like this, the situation at home would definitely get better.

Thinking that his family would be harmonious, Yang Zhiyi was very happy and couldn't help but laugh there foolishly.

Yang Xiaoxi took a big mouthful of rice and suddenly looked up to see his father smiling foolishly.

The little girl was very surprised and asked in a mumble: "Dad, what are you laughing at? You look so silly."

Yang Zhiyi suddenly came to his senses, looked at his daughter, and asked curiously: "Did Dad laugh? No? Did you see it wrong?"

Yang Xiaoxi pouted her lips, chewed the rice in her mouth, and said loudly: "Yes, I saw it all."

As a result, because he had not eaten the food in his mouth yet, he spat out the food when he opened his mouth and shouted.

Yang Zhiyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when seeing this, and quickly went forward to help his daughter clean up.

"Look at you. You can't even eat properly. Look at the spray everywhere. Isn't it dirty? You have become very sloppy yourself."

The father said he was sloppy, but the little girl didn't know what "sloppy" meant.

Yang Xiaoxi raised her head and asked, "Dad, what is sloppy?"

Without waiting for Yang Zhiyi to explain to his daughter, Chen Yaofei quickly said, "Sloppy means dirty. Xixi, Uncle Yang is saying that you are dirty."

After hearing his good friend’s explanation, Yang Xiaoxi immediately became unhappy and raised his little fist to “beat” his father.

"Bad dad, you are not allowed to call me sloppy. If you do, I will ignore you from now on. And this meal is all your fault. I only spit it out because you don't admit your mistake."

Yang Zhiyi was helpless after being lectured by his daughter. He continued to clean up for his daughter and said, "Okay, Xixi is not sloppy. It's all Dad's fault. Let's clean it up quickly, and then you eat well. Look at Feifei and Ruoruo, they are eating so well."

Yang Xiaoxi asked her father to wipe her clean, and then the little girl started to eat seriously.

While everyone was eating outside, Feng Yifan was in the kitchen discussing the setting up of a stall with his apprentice.

"The chicken rice you just mentioned can be used as a main dish at your stall. You can also add some other dishes like barbecue rice and fried pork chop rice. It's all fine. Or you can mix it with noodles."

Zhao Daxia was listening on the side and couldn't help asking, "Boss, are you planning to let Ruifeng start a snack business?"

Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, if you want to make snacks well, you need to work hard, and making snacks is a training for Ruifeng. After we move to the stall, I will also make snacks. It is not suitable to cook like we do in Su Ji."

Hearing Feng Yifan say this, Zhao Daxia suddenly said: "Then Boss, I don't need to go to Fujinglou. I will stay here to help you. You guys also need help in making snacks."

Zhao Daxia’s words also surprised Feng Yifan.

Then Feng Yifan said, "Sister Zhao, the snack business is very hard work, and I have already talked to the boss of Fujinglou for you, and they will pay you a salary."

Zhao Daxia was very determined: "No, no, boss, I am willing to work with you. When Su Ji resumes business in the future, you will need me."

Hearing this, Feng Yifan was actually a little touched.

I didn't expect that after only being with Zhao Daxia for a short time, she would identify with Su Ji like this.

Seeing that the master was still hesitant, Lin Ruifeng said, "Master, why don't we let Sister Zhao go with us to set up a stall? After you leave, I can work with Sister Zhao. Then we can split the money we earn equally, and Sister Zhao can also earn more."

Feng Yifan came back to his senses after hearing this and immediately laughed: "You don't even know if you can make money yet, and you're already thinking about hiring someone to work with you?"

Zhao Daxia went on to say, “Maybe, when you come back, you’ll find that we’ve grown big and our business is booming.”

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Sure, I'm looking forward to your business booming."

In fact, from the very beginning, Feng Yifan accepted Lin Ruifeng as his apprentice because he wanted to teach him some snack making methods so that he could run his own breakfast shop next door well.

After learning how to make more snacks, Lin Ruifeng can turn the breakfast shop into a snack shop, and his business will be even better.

What I didn't expect was that the apprentice was a very humble and studious person, and he also had his own little ambitions.

Lin Ruifeng obviously hopes to learn more real cooking skills from Feng Yifan, and really want to become Feng Yifan's apprentice and possess cooking skills that will not embarrass his master.

But how can cooking skills be mastered overnight

Every skill of good cooking requires long-term hard work and practice.

In just two months, Lin Ruifeng seemed to have learned a lot at Su Ji and was able to start helping Feng Yifan.

In fact, his basic skills have not been practiced enough. His knife skills, fire skills, etc. are not even entry-level.

As for cooking and seasoning, Lin Ruifeng could only do it at Su Ji under the guidance of Feng Yifan. Without Feng Yifan's guidance, he was not qualified to cook.

Lin Ruifeng understood all this, so he would rather not leave with his sister and parents and would rather stay alone in Huaicheng to set up a stall.

I just want to continue to follow my master and continue learning cooking skills.

Seeing his disciple so determined, Feng Yifan understood his disciple's intention, so he decided to give his disciple a test, which was also an opportunity.

In other words, he hopes to see his apprentice grow better.

Feng Yifan believes that after going through the baptism of setting up stalls, as long as his apprentices can persist, they will definitely grow.

Reaching out and patting his apprentice on the shoulder, Feng Yifan said seriously: "If you are really willing to stay and try it yourself, I will teach you a lot of stall-setting skills before I leave, especially some stall-setting seasoning techniques. I hope you can stick with it and wait for me to come back."

Zhao Daxia was a straightforward person, but she couldn't help asking, "Boss, why do you insist on letting Ruifeng set up the stall alone? In fact, he can also go with you. He should be able to learn a lot by staying with you."

Feng Yifan glanced at Zhao Daxia, then looked at his disciple who was obviously hesitant to speak.

I know that my disciple’s heart is also filled with such doubts.

Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Because Ruifeng can't follow me forever. Sooner or later he will leave Su Ji and leave me. At that time he needs to be able to take charge of his own business, whether it's becoming a better chef or opening a shop on his own. He needs to take on his own responsibilities."

At this point, Feng Yifan looked at his apprentice seriously and said, "So, this stall is a test for you. Don't worry, it won't take long. I will bring Ruoruo back to kindergarten in September."

I understand Master’s intentions and realize that Master hopes that I can be independent and not always rely on Master or have to follow Master around forever.

Lin Ruifeng agreed seriously: "Master, I will definitely try my best to hold on until you come back."

Feng Yifan smiled when he heard this and said, "You don't have to hold on. If you feel that you are not making money or that the work is too tiring, you can give up at any time."

Finally, he added: "Also, you must get the consent of Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin for this matter."

Lin Ruifeng was a little surprised when he heard this: "Why do I need their consent? I am an adult, I can make my own decision."

Zhao Daxia said at this time: "Your master is right. You should communicate well with your parents. You can't act on your own. You should communicate more with your parents. Don't say nothing to them. If you don't say something, how can they understand?"

Feng Yifan looked at Zhao Daxia, smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Sister Zhao, for helping me educate my apprentice."

Zhao Daxia smiled and said, "Boss, you are too polite. This is my personal experience."

Feng Yifan was a little surprised: "Oh? So, is there any problem between Sister Zhao and the child? Do you need to go back and talk to the child?"

Zhao Daxia waved her hand quickly: "No, that's not necessary, boss. I, I just want to wait until the kids have a holiday, can I ask them to come over and take a look?"

Feng Yifan agreed with a smile: "Sure, you can bring them to Su Ji when the time comes, and I'll cook a meal for them, as a way of thanking their mother for helping us at Su Ji for so long."

Zhao Daxia was somewhat moved by these words: "Thank you, boss."

As they were chatting, Feng Ruoruo led two friends and ran into the kitchen, bringing the order to their father.

The little girl handed the list to her father and said, "Dad, we are going to go upstairs to sleep after delivering it to you this time. You must remember to make snacks for us."

Yang Xiaoxi followed up and said, "That's right, Father Feng, don't forget our snacks."

Chen Yaofei said: "Dad Feng, don't forget it."

Feng Yifan smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay, thank you my three little darlings, Daddy Feng will definitely not forget your snacks, and when you wake up from your nap, I guarantee there will be delicious snacks."

After receiving such an answer, the girls left the kitchen happily and satisfied.
