In fact, the barbecue hanging stove customized by Feng Yifan was nothing special, it was just a common hanging stove. Moreover, he not only customized the hanging stove, but also purchased a batch of fruit wood.
After purchasing the fruit trees, Feng Yifan asked the people here to help send the hanging stove back.
However, Feng Yifan did not send the hanging stove back to Su Ji, but directly sent it to the small market where the stall was set up.
Have someone put the hanging stove in the market, where Su Ji was going to set up his stall.
There are not many people setting up stalls in the morning, but there are some people who get up early and set up stalls here. Most of them take the opportunity to sell some breakfast, and take advantage of the fact that the Lin family breakfast shop is closed, so they can make some extra money.
Some of the old street neighbors who were setting up stalls here in the morning were very surprised to see Feng Yifan and his men carrying the hanging stove in.
"Boss Feng, why did you bring this thing here? What are you planning to do with it?"
"This looks like a hanging oven, right? Is Chef Feng planning to set up a street stall to sell roast duck?"
"This thing can not only make roast duck, but also roast goose, and some hanging roasted things. It seems that they can all be made with this action, right?"
"Wow, Boss Feng, this is a big deal. Are you planning to change your business to grilled food here?"
Hearing the puzzled words of some stall owners, Feng Yifan directed people to send the hanging stove to the designated location while responding to everyone with a smile.
"We are going to set up a stall, right? So we need to add some items. We can't just have fried rice and noodles. We need to have more varieties to attract enough customers."
Feng Yifan's words surprised everyone present, and they were very curious about what he was going to do.
Seeing everyone was very curious, Feng Yifan briefly said: "Actually, I got this hanging stove back mainly to make some barbecue ingredients to go with our fried rice and noodles, to increase the variety of fried rice and noodles."
An older boss asked, "Yifan, are you planning to buy roast duck? Or roast goose?"
The reason why the old man asked this question is that he knows very well that this kind of hanging oven is usually used to make roast duck and roast duck.
Actually, roast duck originated from Jiangsu Province and was later introduced to Beijing, where it became a major feature of the capital. Some places in Jiangsu Province also have their own roast duck recipes.
As for goose, there are some unique ways of cooking it in Jiangsu Province.
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "We will make some of them. They are mainly used as side dishes. We will not sell them separately. We are also preparing some roasted pork belly to go with fried rice and noodles."
After hearing these words, some people present exclaimed.
"Wow, Chef Feng, this is really a big deal."
"Yes, we have a wide variety of products, including roast duck, roast goose, and roast pork belly. Plus, Su Ji's special noodles with toppings, how can this business be bad?"
"Hahaha, if Su Ji's business is good, it means that we all have business."
"Yeah, our small market? Don't we rely on Su Ji to bring us traffic and business?"
Feng Yifan said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness. We at Su Ji will definitely work hard and lead everyone to do a good job in the stall business. My suggestion is that we should just put the seats together so that when the time comes, diners can order the food from different stalls at will."
After hearing Feng Yifan's opinion, everyone thought about it and agreed that this was a good idea.
"That's a good idea. We can put the seats in the middle, put out tables and stools, and let people sit wherever they want. It's convenient for diners to come and eat."
The other shop owners on the old street would definitely support this idea, because they are destined to have fewer diners than Su Ji. So if everyone seats separately, it will definitely be the case that Su Ji is full of people, while other shops may have only a few people or even no customers.
But what if we put the seats together? No matter whose family the teacher is from, the guests can sit together. In this way, when guests come, they can sit together? Each family will be equal, and it can also boost the business of other families.
After Feng Yifan had placed the hanging stove and paid the person who delivered it, he began to make some adjustments himself.
When the neighbors in the old street saw Feng Yifan tidying up there by himself, someone asked curiously, "Chef Feng, you put the hanging stove here, aren't you afraid that someone will come and steal it at night?"
Feng Yifan laughed when he heard this: "No way? Someone stole this big stove?"
Then everyone else started laughing too.
"That's right. Even if we steal this big stove, we won't be able to buy it for much money."
"Yes, since scrap iron is worthless, it would cost a lot to get the furnace away from here. Who would be so idle as to steal the furnace?"
"Besides, there are surveillance cameras at the intersection and here. It's not easy to get away after stealing such a big stove these days."
Feng Yifan continued, "There's only an empty stove here at night, nothing else. Could someone be so bored that they come and move the empty stove away?"
Everyone laughed. After seeing what Feng Yifan had prepared this morning, everyone was still looking forward to Su Ji.
Feng Yifan tidied up the stove, without even locking the chain, and said goodbye to the old neighbors who were setting up stalls there and left.
When I returned to Su Ji, I saw my wife, father-in-law and mother gathered together to discuss something.
Feng Yifan walked in, hugged his wife from behind and asked with a smile: "What are you discussing?"
Su Ruoxi was startled when her husband hugged her from behind. But when she heard her husband's voice, she came back to her senses and said with a smile, "You're back? Let me show you what we discussed."
Then, Su Ruoxi handed the sketch to her husband.
Feng Yifan took a look and found that there were some plans for decorating the restaurant.
In fact, the renovation of the restaurant had been agreed upon before, but Feng Yifan later thought that he would wait for his daughter to go back to the countryside during the holidays and then consider the renovation of the restaurant after she came back from playing with her parents in the countryside.
Moreover, Feng Yifan’s idea is that when the time comes, he can first place his father-in-law and daughter at his parents’ home in the countryside.
He and his wife came back first and hired someone to start renovating the restaurant.
I will wait until the restaurant is renovated and the reconstruction of the ancient street is completed, and then I will go to pick up my daughter and father-in-law.
Feng Yifan didn't expect that his wife was so anxious and had already started to think about the plan for decorating the restaurant.
After looking at the design given by my wife, I found that the first floor of the small restaurant is still in the current hall style, but with more partition spaces. It is decorated in the style of Feng Yifan’s previous boutique private kitchen.
What’s more important is the second floor. According to what my wife drew, there are four private rooms on the second floor.
The interior of the private room is designed and decorated differently with the theme of "plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum".
Combined with the decoration design of the first floor, Su Ji has been completely transformed into a private kitchen restaurant with very classical characteristics.
Looking at the design drawings drawn by his wife, Feng Yifan suddenly discovered that his wife did have some talent in design, and seemed to be good at painting as well.
"Wife, your painting is really good. It turns out that my wife is a talented painter and even knows design."
Su Ruoxi felt a little proud when her husband praised her so much.
"It's okay. I just drew a rough sketch and planned to listen to everyone's opinions and then make some changes. What do you think?"
Feng Yifan said seriously, "I think it's great. The design of the four private rooms upstairs is very ancient, but should we also match the first floor with the upstairs? For example, we can add a shorter wooden screen in the middle to separate them, and then place a few small rooms separated by wooden screens in the corners of the restaurant."
After listening to her husband's design, Su Ruoxi felt that it was indeed possible to add some ancient embellishments to the first floor.
In this way, it is more in line with the characteristics of Su Ji's century-old brand and can also be paired with Su Ji's dishes.
Su Ruoxi decisively incorporated what her husband said into the design sketch, making it more substantial.
Feng Yifan looked at his wife drawing on the sketch, and asked curiously, "Didn't we agree to wait until we return from the countryside before starting the renovation? You can let dad and daughter stay in the countryside first, and we two will come back first to supervise the renovation here."
Su Ruoxi nodded and said, "Yes, I am just designing it now. I didn't say I would start decorating it now."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Then, do we still have to buy the house first?"
Hearing this, Lu Cuiling immediately smiled and said, "You two are really in sync, you think alike. Ruoxi also said that she wants to buy a house first. It's just right that before you go back to the countryside, you can renovate the house first, move in when you come back, and then renovate the restaurant."
Feng Yifan smiled and said, "Didn't we discuss this before
We will buy a house first, move in once it’s renovated, and then renovate the restaurant, making full use of the time when the old street is being renovated.”
Lu Cuiling said, "Okay, you two just need to discuss it. We old people will definitely support it, right? Father-in-law?"
Su Jinrong also smiled and nodded: "Yes, I support it."
Su Ruoxi then said to her husband, "Then let's go to the east community to look at houses together this afternoon."
Feng Yifan nodded: "That's fine, call Yang Zhiyi over and ask him to help with the advice."
Su Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "Should we not trouble them anymore?"
Feng Yifan shook his head and said, "It is still necessary. After all, Yang Zhiyi also bought a house, so he knows more about it. Moreover, his interpersonal relationships in the local area are more complicated than ours, so he can help us avoid some pitfalls."
Lu Cuiling added: "As for your decoration, you can also ask Yang Zhiyi to recommend something to you."
Feng Yifan nodded: "Yes, let Yang Zhiyi help introduce a good decoration company."
Seeing that her husband and mother-in-law both said so, Su Ruoxi agreed: "Okay, then we'll go over there this afternoon."
Su Jinrong then asked his son-in-law, "Did you get your hanging stove back?"
Feng Yifan responded: "I got it back. I put it in the small market where we set up stalls. We will be doing business there anyway. When Lin Ruifeng comes back, I will teach him how to use it."
Su Ruoxi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yes, where is Xiaolin? Why didn't he come back with you?"
Feng Yifan smiled and replied: "I sent him away on the way."
Su Ruoxi was even more puzzled: "You sent him away? What did you ask him to do? Xiaolin's parents and sister are gone, you can't really use him as an employee, right?"
Feng Yifan immediately explained: "I didn't ask him to work for me, I asked him to fall in love."
"Are you going to fall in love?"
Su Ruoxi, Lu Cuiling and Su Jinrong were all a little surprised.
Feng Yifan then told the story of Lin Ruifeng and Shen Qingluo.
"Xiao Lin is a little dull and doesn't know how to create opportunities for himself, so I have to help him and create some opportunities for him to interact with Xiao Shen more."
Su Ruoxi laughed immediately after hearing this: "You really take Sister Yanmei's mission seriously?"
Feng Yifan smiled and said to his wife, "It's not just for Sister Yanmei's mission. It's mainly because if we go back to the countryside, Ruifeng will be lonely here and will have to face many problems alone. Let him and Xiao Shen improve their relationship so that they can support each other if anything happens."
At this point, Feng Yifan hugged his wife and said, "It's just like the two of us."
Su Ruoxi felt warm at heart after hearing her husband's words, and she felt that she still had a role to play beside her husband.
After Lin Ruifeng was kicked out of the car by his master, he immediately took a taxi to where Shen Qingluo worked.
However, when entering the door, because Shen Qingluo worked in a relatively high-end office building, Lin Ruifeng was stopped by the security guard downstairs.
Lin Ruifeng had no choice but to call Shen Qingluo, and then he was allowed to enter the office building.
It was the first time for Lin Ruifeng to enter such an office building, and he really felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that the people around him looked at him strangely.
With a nervous mood, Lin Ruifeng came to the door of Shen Qingluo's office.
In addition to Shen Qingluo, there was also a young man in a suit and tie in the office, who seemed to be harassing Shen Qingluo.
Seeing this, Lin Ruifeng was a little dissatisfied. He knocked on the door and coughed to interrupt the other party.
Shen Qingluo turned around when she heard the voice and saw that it was Lin Ruifeng. She immediately came over and took Lin Ruifeng's arm around her, and said in a coquettish tone: "Why did you come just now? I have so many things, I don't know what to do."
Lin Ruifeng was a little confused, and the young man in the office was also a little confused.
It was the first time for both of them to see Shen Qingluo acting like a spoiled child.
The difference is that Lin Ruifeng didn't expect Shen Qingluo to act like a spoiled child to him and be so close to him.
The man in the office was stunned for a moment, then looked Lin Ruifeng up and down, with a look of condescending contempt slowly revealing in his eyes.
The young man looked away from Lin Ruifeng and looked at Shen Qingluo and asked, "Qingluo, who is this?"
Shen Qingluo answered very straightforwardly: "This is my boyfriend, Lin Ruifeng. He is very good. He is the apprentice of Feng Yifan, the most famous five-star chef in Huaicheng. Even though he is still an apprentice now, he will definitely become a master like Feng Yifan in the future."
The man didn't take Shen Qingluo's introduction seriously, but when he heard the name "Feng Yifan", he could no longer be indifferent.
You know, during this period in Huaicheng, the name Feng Yifan was a well-known figure.
Everyone in Huaicheng knows that he is a master chef who is qualified to set standards for Chinese cuisine cooking competitions, and his Su Ji is a place that many people in Huaicheng want to eat at once.
Being able to become a disciple of such a culinary master, the young man looked at Lin Ruifeng with a different look in his eyes.
But Shen Qingluo did not introduce the man, nor did he give the young man a chance to introduce himself. He simply pulled Lin Ruifeng and said, "I've packed everything. Let's go. You help me carry my things."
Lin Ruifeng was very obedient. He took Shen Qingluo's things, said goodbye to the man before leaving, and left with Shen Qingluo.
